Chapter 29: Meeting Alpha Soren

When Bonnie boarded British Airways, they were given dinner at five thirty p.m. The twins fell asleep, and Bonnie fell asleep with the lol of the plane and lack of sleep from a very hectic time of loving the night before. The next thing she knew, the Pilot was announcing the arrival of their flight to Heathrow Airport. They disembarked and had an hour overlay. She took the twins for a bathroom break and got them fish and chips. She explained that it was the national dish of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom was made up of England, Scotland, and Wales. She knew her daughter would not remember much of what she said, but Brady gathered all the knowledge. They boarded the next flight to Scotland. When the plane landed, they disembarked, and Bonnie got a taxi to take her home. It was refreshing to hear the Scottish brogue and smell familiar odours and scenes. She reached home and asked the cab to wait for her. Requesting a taxi to stay can only happen in the United Kingdom. They lifted the doormat and grabbed the keys to the house. Then Bonnie placed their suitcases in the house and headed to the hospital.

When Bonnie reached the hospital, she asked which ward her dad was placed in, and they told her he was in the intensive care ward for now. He should be in the regular medical ward the next day if all goes well. Bonnie was relieved to hear this. She texted her mom to say she had landed and was now at the hospital. Her mom changed out of the intensive care gown she was given and left the dress by the door. She walked towards Bonnie. The first thing she noticed was that Bonnie had cut her hair. She walked over to her and hugged her. Then her eyes cast down, and she saw the twins. She asked, "Who do we have here now?" Bea said, "I am Beatrice and Brady said. "I am Brady." She asked Bonnie, "Who are these wee ones?" Bonnie answered, "Mine, Mum." She looked at her daughter and wondered what in the world will she tell her husband. The pups were adorable, and she could not help herself as she dropped to the floor to their eye level and hugged them. She said," Welcome to our highlands."

The kids hugged her, and she said, I am your Seanmhair. Scottish for grandmother, but you can call me Nana. "They giggled when they heard the word. They hugged her and said, "Nana." Their Nana told them to wait until she spoke to the senior nurse, and they would be on their way home. When they reached home, she asked them if they were hungry, and they all said no, that they wanted to sleep; then she recalled it would be about midnight in New York time.

They woke up at about nine pm Scottish time. Azalea realised it would take time to adjust to the time difference. She asked what they wanted to do. Bonnie told them to play games on their iPads. Later that evening, Bonnie gave them a melatonin gummy each, and she took three, and they went back to bed, which should help them to adjust their sleep time. Bonnie called Bryan, and he was excited to hear from her. He told her that his office felt lonely without her, and she told him she missed him too. He asked about her dad, and she told him what the head nurse told her. She said that they were hopeful for him to return home soon. He wanted to talk to the twins; when Brady took the phone, he said, "Daddy, I saw cows and sheep." Alpha Brian reminded him if he should ever need him, he should call using his watch. Brady told him, "Bye, Daddy, I love you when they finished chatting. Next, he spoke to Bea, and she told him she missed him and loved him more. He responded as usual. "I love you, princess." He asked Bea to give the phone to her mom. He told her he loved her and would miss her on the full moon run.

The next day, The family went to the hospital. They received good news. The head nurse said her pop was transferred to the medical ward at three p.m. that afternoon with his doctor's permission. He was no longer in danger. Bonnie was relieved. They were permitted to visit him and were told he should not be overly stimulated.

First, Bonnie's mom, Azalea, came to visit him. She kissed him and said she had a secret to tell him. He wanted to know what it was. She asked him not to be overly excited or overly angry. She asked him to promise her first.

She told him that Bonnie had two little packages for him to see. He asked if she had reconnected with Alpha Brian, and Azalea said Bonnie did. He said that was for the best because they were destined mates. However, they were reminded of the agreement they had with their best friends and Betas; if they had a daughter and their friends had a son, they would be selected mates if they were not fated mates. Azalea said not to worry about that because the packages would explain everything. He wondered what his excellent Luna was up to now.

Next, Bonnie came in and had two bairns with her. Her pop was surprised now he understood what Azalea was trying to say. He asked who were these bonny ones. Bea said, "My name is Beatrice," and Brady said, "My name is Brady." He said I am your Seanair or grandfather. The twins giggled at the name. He said, "You can call me Poppy since I am your mom's Pop." They went forward and hugged him and said, "I love you, Poppy. Next, Bonnie walked over to Pop and hugged her as she sobbed. He said, "It's bairn." I am much better now. He told her he knew he was feeling worse by the day and should be more vigilant with his health. He said he was a bit distracted worrying about her. She should have been back in Scotland running the family company instead of working with Callum and Cadian. He said I have to think about the pack now.

He told her because of his health issues, he would have to retire from his Alpha position. Since she hadn't returned, he had to choose his Beta's son, Soren. Soren was born five years before Bonnie. He left for Oxford University to study Business Finance. He did his Masters in Business Administration and Then his PhD in Leadership in Business and Technology. He returned to Scotland three years ago and was training to become the new Alpha. I would like you to meet him and give me your honest opinion. She said, "OK, Pop, I will do so." He said when I am better, I will ask your mom to arrange dinner so both families can meet.

Bonnie took the twins to lunch one day after visiting her dad at the hospital. They were seated in the restaurant when this ruggedly handsome man walked in. All the young women stared at him, but Bonnie was busy with her children. She smiled at Bea, who said something about a handsome man. She was thinking, Brian and I have to watch this girl; she is only four and into guys; imagine what she will do when she becomes a teenager. I pray Goddess Celine sends her fated mate before she causes trouble. Not knowing that someone was observing her, Bonnie smiled at her daughter. At twenty-three, she looked like the twins' sister.
