I Became a Kindergarten Teacher for Monster Babies!

She paused, pressing her free hand to her chest, as if holding her breaking heart in place. "Please tell her... tell my little moon to be strong for Daddy. And... thank you for holding her. It means more than you know."

Alina felt a small tug on her sleeve.. tiny, warm hands pressing into the soft fabric. She looked down and saw Luna’s big red eyes, filled with fresh tears that clung stubbornly to her lashes. Her lips trembled, opening and closing like she didn’t know how to make her voice come out.

"Luna wants to talk to you..." Alina said softly, her chest squeezing at the quiet desperation in those baby eyes. She gently pressed the phone into Luna’s small hand, curling her fingers around it.

Luna sniffed, pushing back her messy hair with her wrist as she lifted the phone to her ear. "Mom..." she breathed, her voice so tiny it made Alina’s eyes sting.

On the other end, Luna Serafina’s calm mask cracked just a little — her throat tightened when she heard that single word. The cold Alpha Queen, strong enough to stand in a house full of blood and dead warriors, felt her eyes burn at the helplessness in her pup’s baby voice.

"My little moon..." Serafina murmured, her voice softer than the wind that rustled through the windows. She wished she could hold her daughter right now — stroke her fur, bury her nose into that thick little ruff around Luna’s neck like when she was born. But she forced herself to speak steady. She needs strength, she told herself. Not my tears.

"Mommy... Daddy is okay?" Luna whispered, her lower lip wobbling, her eyes squeezing shut as if it might stop the tears. She looked so small curled up in Alina’s arms.

Serafina’s heart cracked wider, but her voice was as strong as the old oak trees that guarded their lands. "Your Daddy is very strong, my moon. He’s resting. You were so brave — you protected our family last night too, didn’t you?"

Luna’s tiny claws dug into Alina’s sleeve again, her little shoulders trembling. "But I wanted to stay... I wanted to help Daddy..." she hiccuped, her words tumbling over each other like baby growls.

Alina could feel each word like a small heartbeat against her arm. She pressed her lips to Luna’s soft hair, humming a soothing sound.

"You helped, Luna. You did so well," Serafina whispered, her own eyes, "You are my strongest little wolf. Listen to Teacher Alina, stay safe, and when Daddy is better, he will come hold you, yes?"

Luna sniffed louder, wiping her nose with the back of her hand. "Mom... tell Daddy... tell him I love him much much..." she mumbled, her baby voice thick.

Serafina closed her eyes tight. "I will, my moon. He hears you, even now."
