Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a golden hue across the school field where the children were gathered. It was time for Freya’s outdoor class. Miss Cooper had momentarily stepped away to rest in the teachers’ room, leaving Mr. Ves Larkinson in charge of supervising the students during this playful session. Mr. Larkinson stood nearby with a warm smile, his hands loosely folded behind his back as he watched the children sit in a wide circle on the grass. Today’s game was Duck, Duck, Goose, and the excitement among the little ones was palpable.

"Alright, everyone, let’s begin!" Mr. Larkinson announced cheerfully. "Damien Quinn will be the first ’farmer’. Let’s show him how it’s done."

Damien, a lively boy with sandy blonde hair, stood up with a grin and began walking around the circle. As instructed, he gently tapped each child’s head and said, "Duck... duck... duck..." He made it around the entire circle but forgot to pick a "goose."

The children looked confused, and Mr. Larkinson chuckled. "Damien, don’t forget! You have to pick someone as the ’goose’, and then you run!"

Realizing his mistake, Damien nodded earnestly and tried again. This time, after tapping a few heads, he suddenly shouted, "Goose!", choosing Zachary Han.

Zachary blinked in surprise, momentarily frozen in place. Damien had already darted around the circle at full speed. With a little encouragement from Mr. Larkinson, Zachary jumped to his feet and chased Damien with all his might. But Damien was too quick and managed to sit down in Zachary’s spot just in time.

Now it was Zachary’s turn to be the farmer. Giggling, he began his circle. "Duck... duck... duck..." Then, with a playful shout, he chose Jane Austen as the goose. Jane’s reflexes were sharp. She sprang up instantly and chased after Zachary. Before he could reach her seat, she tagged him on the back.

Zachary sighed dramatically and remained the farmer. The next round, he chose Jason Reed as the goose. He picked up speed, racing with determination. This time, he made it to Jason’s seat first, making Jason the new farmer.

By now, everyone had gotten the hang of the game. Laughter and squeals of joy filled the field.

Jason circled the group and suddenly tapped Klein Moretti, calling "Goose!" Klein jumped up and chased Jason, but Jason managed to plop down in Klein’s place just in time.
