CHAPTER 5

Jason

I was so happy to see my son come to me by this time of the night. Which on the other hand made me worry because I knew that he was not a very serious person and people would always come to me whenever things get complicated.

I didn't have to ask him the reason why he came to see me. All I did was make him feel at home.

All I wanted was for him to be free with me in order to tell me exactly what was the problem.

He was happy and sad at the same time, nervous and anxious as well. He did feel at home and I kept making him laugh out of his pain and anxiety.

My son then told me that he had something bothering him which he was advised to meet me for. I was smiling at him but he told me to wipe the smile off my face. I was shocked at how mature he spoke;I had to do as he had said.

He narrated the story to me. He told me that he was so nervous and he used to run from things he thought were bigger than him but at this point, he could not because everyone would be counting on him.

I felt he kind of spoke in parables due to the way he addressed everything he told me.

Looking into his eyes, I made him know that it was okay to feel nervous and anxious but he should not let his anxiety eat him up.

He nodded in argument to what I said to him. I also had to let him know that this day which he was about to enter had been the reason why our family had been the one's producing alphas for the clan.

I was so assured that my words sank deep into him and even when he sleeps, he would dream about it.

I said to him," my son, it's okay to be nervous and anxious but your downfall and the downfall of every man starts from the moment he lets his anxiety eat him up. Your great grandpa earned this for us. You should not let your guard down because it is going to be a huge disgrace to us and our kingship would be taken away from us ".

I said a lot of things to him about how things are done in the pack.

My boy was not ready for the hunt at all but my words to him made him get ready immediately.

I also made him know that it should be a good and great day for him because it was also his birthday.

As a father, I calmed my boy down and then I asked him who was the person that made him come to me. He happily told me that it was his sister. I was so proud of her and that made me remember the good times I spent with her mom before the cold hands of death took her from me.

Amelia's mother was a true gem which one should not let go of. I still mourn her but I can't bring her back.

I was so happy and sad alike so I had to take my both kids out that day for a night walk. Amelia came along and I felt complete.

I trained my kids personally that night and I also learnt a lot of things from them. Everything we did that night made me reminisce about my life as a child with my parents.

I also found out that my son had always run away from tough training. Making me remember that he was not speaking to me in parables earlier.

I made him do almost every single one of the training he had run away from.

The night seemed too long and short at the same time.

Knowing that I wasn't getting younger at all and that someday I would not be alive to guide their footsteps, I told them the importance of peace and unity amongst them. I did my best in explaining to them in the language they could understand. I made them know that I shouldn't come in between them neither should their mother or anyone around them.

Speaking deeply into their brains, bodies and soul, my daughter looked at me so sad and burst into tears. She said that I spoke like someone who was going to die anytime soon but I let them know that I wasn't.

Honestly, we spoke deeply to our souls, making me shed tears when I got to my room.

As an old man, I learnt one of the most exciting things in my life from my son. He called it nirvana which he said was a way and the easiest way to get one's inner peace of mind.

The time I spent with them also made me see their weaknesses and shortcomings.

I would say I had the best night of my life without sleeping. It was indeed a rollercoaster for me. I could cry and laugh,frown and smile at once. It was still one of my best experiences regardless of the sad parts of the story.

My kids taught me to be more human than ever. I learnt that I should be happy at some point in my life and that everything was not politics.

I also was very grateful and indebted to my brother Josh for training my kids as though they were his.

Now, I am rest assured that if I ever go missing, my family would survive regardless.

We finally practiced nirvana together. My kids pretended seriously as if their spirits were connected during the session which left me with no choice than to act the same. Well, I didn't know if it was a true connection. So,I had to behave like the Romans. Now I am my kid in Rome .

We all went home happily and my nervous son didn't have any atoms of bursting nerves in him again.
