Intimidating her children into compliance was not what she wanted to do. "It's alright Liam. You are not in trouble. I love you and you are so good. Everything is going to be okay." she said in a soothing voice as she rubbed his back. It took a bit for Liam to get his composure back. Even though she was not sending alpha pheromones his way, she was still way stronger than him. The stress and fear triggered his inner omega into reacting. That caused this episode. When he was okay, she smiled at him and sent him to his room. She visited Kelly and Skye's room. They both looked at her. "I just wanted to check in. Are you 2 doing okay at school? Is anyone bothering you for being alpha females? Are you still happy playing sports?" Anna asked. "I'm doing okay. Alan and I are solid and people think that we're betas when we go out." Skye reported. "And at school?" Anna asked again to get a real answer. "Yeah. Nothing really changed. We're still playing tennis and winning." Skye added. "Paul and I are doing great. I'm getting him to study more. We're going to nationals." Kelly said.
She had gotten her answers, so Anna could leave it at that for now. She could always keep tabs on them to see if things changed over time. The next day, she followed through with what she said. Luke and Liam led her to the basketball coach. He did not look happy to see them at all. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" he said dryly. Anna looked him in the eyes. "This is not a good thing. You pressured my boys off the team. I want them to be put back on." she said. He frowned and said "I'm so sorry you feel that way, but a letter of resignation is final when submitted." Anna simply smiled at him. "I'm sure that those slips of paper can be found and then lost. Or, you could refuse to accept them. Either way, I will be causing the school a lot of problems if you don't fix this problem." she told him. The alpha male rolled his eyes. "I think we are done here. I have a PE class to teach." he said as he got up. They were all dismissed. The next day, the Idut brothers filed a lawsuit against South High. It is part of the coach contract to ensure omegas are safe. Threats otherwise were all unlawful.
The school decided to settle out of court. All 4 of the brothers were knights of the realm. Knights specifically tasked with ensuring the fairness of sports in the nation. They were all still relatively famous. Every so often, a slow news day found time to give them an interview about some sporting event. Most of the alpha journalists did what they could to undermine them in the eyes of the public. Beta journalists loved them. Anthony in particular had a great deal of influence. He became a big contributor to a highly rated news network. Omegas across the country loved them all. South High simply could not risk being buried in bad press nationwide. Not only would all of the tennis courts on school grounds be named after the Idut brothers, but the coach was also dismissed from his job. Luke and Liam returned to the basketball team. It was clear that they missed playing with their friends. It was not just them either. Several other omegas also went back to their teams. The other coaches were not too pleased having them back, but they were all smart enough not to say anything about it.
