Chapter 271: No choice but to obey

«Just like before.»

«See? Nothing changed, actually. None of the relevant things.»

«They're growing up so fast. I'm afraid to lose their best years if I get distracted,» she chuckled. «They learn something new every day, and I can't remember them controlling their instincts so well... Scarlet hasn't lost control even once since the full moon, right? And Jaden is starting to control his ears, even if not always. They're growing up, Nate.»
