Jamal's POVI Waited outside the apartment building where Methis lived. It was a nice place. It was tall and it looked artlessly done from the outside though it was nice to see. I wondered why most houses in this human world looked so alike. It was as if all the designers had gotten lazy and decided to just copy each other’s work. In the human world, I saw less statues, less paintings, and every other thing that linked to the ingenuity of art. Maybe they just loved to keep their stuff simple. Regardless, I loved the general scenery of the city. What I loved the most was their technology. They had the ability to integrate their technology into their architecture which made up for its boring appearance. Even the building that Mehtis lived in had an electric signboard that stuck out from one side advertising something they called Shampoo.This also was probably one of human greatest undoing. Their need for something they did not need. While waiting, I had read that advert a million times

Xander POVI know what I saw. That is perhaps what frightened me the most. I saw it with both my eyes. Jamal was no ordinary human being. I saw his birth; I saw his first kill which by the way was not a fish it was a big adult deer. Jamal was a wolf. I don’t know why I did not see that coming. He is good. He keeps his identity secret well. I saw the many battles he had fought. Jamal had been to war. Who or what he waged war against or who or what waged war against him I have no idea. I was not fortunate enough to see that deep but it had to be a serious matter because I saw Jamal kill. I saw him maim enemies, I saw him fight with valour. A man as Jamal had more backstory than I had anticipated, perhaps his backstory is too ominous that I’d rather not delve into but my curiosity as always, got the best of me and I found myself thinking deeply about how it was possible that a girl as innocent as Methis had had an affair with a man as dangerous as Jamal. They were like two opposite side

Xander POV“I bet you know her more than me now,” Sophia sighed.“Of course I do.” In truth, I knew nothing about Methis. We had talked a lot, but we never really went that far as to the point where she told me about her childhood. Perhaps it just escaped both our memories. Regardless, I continued my game. “Like how she loves sport.”Sophia looked up. “Did Methis tell you that?”“Of course not but I guessed it.”Sophia laughed. “You guessed wrong.”“OK. Maybe I didn’t get that one but let me try again,” I offered.“Sure, be my guest,” Sophia accepted.“She loves rock music and the outdoors.”“Is it the same Methis we both know?” Sophia could not control her laughter at what I had said.“OK, fine I accept. You know her more than I do.” I tap out. “I am terrible at observing people. What kind of journalist am I?”Sophia finally recovered from her laughter. “Don’t be too hard on yourself. We’ve been besties for years. Two weeks of talking can’t get you to know her as much as I do.”“Yeah

Xander POVLuckily, I found her documentation. She was first Kathrine McHolland then when she married Methis's dad, she became Kathrine Delis but after the divorce, she returned to Kathrine McHolland. So I looked up Kathrine McHolland on all social media platforms that I could find, on all library records and on everything I could think of that would give me a result on people.Eventually, after a long time of searching, I was able to find an address. It was a perfect start to my digging. An address. If luck was on my side, I would be able to meet with Kathrine herself and I trusted myself that once I was able to squeeze a meeting out of her, then I was going to get her talking. If I was correct, by what Sophia my sister told me, then Methis loved her father dearly and deeply so if her father had had a falling out with his new wife, then she was most likely to have a falling out with her too. Implicitly, Methis and Kathrine were not on good terms before and after the divorce. If this

Xander POVOf all my years of fighting, I do not think I have ever fought an unimportant fight was this one. I did not want to fight today that was why I did the trick but it turned out that these boys were more than willing to put me in a casket than they were to actually take my money all because I had played a trick on them and made them look like a fool which in reality they were.“You make us look foolish, eh boy?” the loudmouth called out to me raising a middle finger at me. “You think we are dumb? We discovered your little trick!”“You are dumb!” I spat back at them. “It’s why you discovered it only after it had done its job.”“Yeah? Then why are you still here?” another one asked.“Because I’m no little girl,” I said softly and I winked.This pissed them off the more and it was evident. Once they came in range with me, they did not wait this time to talk or negotiate a better wallet term, they just swung their bats at me in rapid succession the moment they realized that a swin

Xander's POVOn the sidewalk leading to Methis apartment, car horns blared in the background as they zoomed pass sporadically. A little white dog barked as it tried to attack a fire hydrant in the corner.I, however, walked with fury in my eyes. Why would she hide something so huge from me? I thought, "Perhaps she just wanted to bury it in the past," I muttered with a shrug. But I certainly wasn't cool with the fact that she lied to me. If what her stepmom said is true, then that would mean she and that freak have had sex. I can't believe she's been having sex with a werewolf, a fucking werewolf! I screamed in my mind with my fists clenched as rage filled my reins. How could she? I thought. I entered the apartment building. I walked mindlessly, not really even looking where I was going, it's not like I needed to anyway. I knew this place like the back of my head. Suddenly, someone bumped into me."Oh sorry," I said as I bent to help her pick up her books which fell."Don't worry, I'll

Xander's POV"Okay okay, I'm sorry" I apologized as I forced the intensity of my laughter to reduce. "I'm just surprised that you also have dirty thoughts, that's all," I said before I began to eat my food, which had already lost most of it's heat at this point. A bit of silence enveloped the house, with the clinks of the forks against the ceramic plates being the only sounds ambient in the air. While I quietly slurped some spaghetti, I suddenly remembered what brought me here in the first place. I was a bit curious as to how she felt during her surrogacy period."Say Methis?" I said, breaking the silence. She looked up, eyes widened at me with a strand of spaghetti dangling from between her lips. "Can I ask you something?" I asked."Yeah sure, what is it?" she asked as she speedily slurped the strand in."Do you trust me?" I asked with a serious look on my face."Yeah, a lot. Why?" she asked."You trust me?" I asked again to make sure."Of course I do," she responded, "We are friends

Jamal POVI left Autumn in charge of Summer back at the hotel. I was sure that nothing could go wrong that way. Autumn was responsible enough. I trusted his judgement. Even though they were the same age, Autumn acted like he was years ahead of his sister. He was the one who came out first so yeah he very much was the elder one but his level of intelligence at such a young age was almost alarming.I walked down the street with my hands in my pocket looking at the simple things of human living. I decided that today I was going to take a walk. My main aim was to go grocery shopping for Summer. She was such a pain in the ass sometimes. She had insisted that I buy human junk food just so she see what they taste like. Autumn did not say a word to her but I knew that he too might be interested in the junk party with Summer. I walked into a large mall in search of a grocery store. There were many stores in this building. I could see where they sold clothes, foods as in fast food, electronics

Jamal's POV"What do you mea....""Don't pretend like you haven't been thinking about me since the last time we met," she said, "I can see the nervousness in your eyes," she added as she leaned her face closer to mine while standing on her tippy toes. I quickly recoiled. Any further, and it'd have been a kiss.Ding!Finally, the ordeal was going to be over. The doors were about to slide open and I braced myself to get the hell out."Stop pretending like you don't want me!" She yelled.Affirmative. She's crazy."I would advise you to get some medical attention," I said as I slowly walked towards the doors which were now sliding open, "You need help," I added as I got out of the elevator."You can't keep it up forever. Your pretence can only take you so........." She was saying, her voice dwindling into a diminuendo as the doors slid shut. Talk about crazy.I walked down the corridor to Methis apartment and then knocked. I could hear footsteps approaching from within and took a deep bre

Jamal POV“I’m doing well, Sir.”“Why are you here? Same reason?”“Same reason, Sir.”“What have I told you in the past?”“That she is not meant for me. But hear this, Sir. I really don’t care what you think about us anymore and honestly it’s been hard for me as well having to see the one who I love reject me so often. So here’s what it is. I’m trying just one more time. Just one. That’s why I am here. To make my peace one last time. I really love her, Sir. I know that deep down you know it. She must have told you about out time during surrogacy. Even though you might look at it as a thing of tragedy which I completely understand, I implore you look at it from the point of I and Methis as well. She really enjoyed it, and so did I, Sir. You can ask for her own opinion. Just don’t intimidate her when doing it.”I sat staring for a while. Thinking if I should go on or just keep quiet. It would be nice to know what he was thinking but from the way Methis’ father kept his countenance, it w

Jamal POVI returned to the shore to see the woman sitting and examining the beast. She gave me a puzzled look.“Where did you come from?” she asked.“My pet wolf ran to me alerting me of danger,” I casually said.“Well, aren’t you a bad master leaving your pet wolf to deal with this thing alone?”“That thing knocked me unconscious that’s why I could not help him,” I lied.“Alright let’s go then. Where is your pet wolf?”“I just buried it.”“Poor thing.” She gave a little sob.We walked back to the boat and made our way back to the city.“What is that thing?” I asked.“I’m supposed to be asking you. You are the one stuck on that island with it.” She gave me a puzzled accusing look. “And a pet wolf.”“Well a different fisherman dropped me there and ran off,” I lied again.“Is it Bob? He’s the coward around here”“How did you see the beast?”“I was out fishing one day and I saw it shoot out of the sewer and I thought ‘What the hell?’ so I went after it but I lost it.”“Why didn’t you ca

Jamal POVI could not believe I was about to do this now. I was about to wrestle this large snake. I could feel my hands sweat as I made my way to the edge of the island. I stopped just beyond the water and took a deep look into the water. From here, I could see its massive outline looming deep beneath the blue, casting a dark shadow in the sea. If that thing truly did swallow the key, then it must have digested already. Either way, today was the day I made my biggest hunting kill. The only problem is unlike other animals I have hunted, this one seemed to have some sense of reasoning. So maybe I could use that against him. I usually did not like to strike first in a fight so maybe I could make this snake strike first. I’d egg him on.“HEY!” I shouted from the edge of the island. “I am ready! Let’s go! Let’s fight!”The beast circled around the water, creating little waves that emerged on the top of the ocean and splashed on the island. I was beginning to question the sanity behind thi

Xander POVI had been chatty at work for some time now. I talked often, perhaps more often than I realized because I was getting more compliments like "What made you start talking so often?" or subtler ones such as "You look to be in a good mood recently." One time, a young lady working with us asked me what had happened during the time I had first begun working here till this moment. They all thought I had received good news that carried me for a long time but in reality, I was the saddest I had ever been in my entire life. I had not realized I talked more often until all the compliments came pouring in. But somehow it all made sense.I was talking more often so I distracted myself from the pain I was feeling. My subconscious mind was trying desperately to find a new connection to forget the broken one o had with Methis. In the past few weeks, I had experienced pain that hit harder than hammer, pain that cut deeper than sword. It was more than a heartbreak. A heartbreak was not the k

Methis POVI woke up the next morning, a pounding headache threatening to split my forehead into two and tossed it in the bed next to me.Again, typical. The practice of waking up with another problem bothering me had almost become routine so I wasn't really surprised.Nevertheless, I dragged myself out of bed and prepared for school. Irrespective of my feelings, life had to go on right?The first few classes were boring as hell, and I was extremely uninterested, which made the ring of the bell for lunch break a very welcome development.I walked into the cafeteria and almost immediately, my eyes fell on her. Sophia, sat alone at a table, picking her food, a bored look in her eyes.It made me feel like shit, she was alone because of me. I was her best friend, we did everything together including lunch and now we were fighting she had to suffer the discomfort of sitting in the cafeteria and eating alone, with nobody to talk to.I had to fix that.Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my tray

Jamal’s POVI woke up, already feeling exhausted and drained, I allowed my body to revert to its human form as the involuntary transformation subsided. I lay there for a moment, the gritty sand beneath me a stark reminder of the ordeal I had just faced. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm glow across the island.As evening descended, I woke from a restless slumber. My surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the distant murmur of the ocean. Pushing myself up, I took stock of his situation. The city lights shimmered in the distance, a connection to my realm that seemed both distant and unattainable.My exploration of the island unfolded like a surreal odyssey. The air was thick with the scent of salt and untamed nature as I ventured into the heart of the unknown. The landscape revealed itself in layers — dense clusters of foliage, rugged terrain, and mysterious, hidden corners.The island's interior held a complex tapestry of life. Vibrant flowers bloomed in patches, th

Jamal’s POVThe dark witch, a shadow from the recesses of his past, cast an ominous pall over my thoughts. Her malevolence, the catalyst for the arduous journey through the realms, loomed as a reminder of the trials I had faced. In the face of this formidable adversary, I found the strength to swim against the currents.With a newfound surge of determination, O pushed against the encroaching darkness. The thought of Methis waiting, of my cubs growing up without their father, of the pack relying on my leadership, propelled me toward the surface. The image of the moonlit realm, my sovereign domain, beckoned as a distant haven.Yet, the cruel reality of physical exhaustion proved insurmountable. As my limbs strained against the water, the weight of my shifting form, soaked and weary, became an anchor dragging him into the depths.Then, everything went dark.* * *I woke up to a sound.Vaguely aware that I was lying on the floor, in the pitch darkness, my vision swimming around me, I groa

Methis’s POV“You know if you keep at this you won’t ever heal. No one is above problems. Not even me the counsellor.”“Well go deal with your own problems instead of mine!” I blurted out. All he needed to do was raise his eyebrow at me and I realized my mistake. “I am so sorry, Sir. I did not mean it that way, Sir.”“It’s fine, Miss Delis we all lose our cool occasionally.”“Please just call me Methis.”“So what’s the issue here Mehtis?”“It’s my best friend. I think she hates me now.”“Why would assume that?”“Well, I went to talk to her today and she snubbed me. A friend of mine and her brother had a fight earlier so she is mad at me for it all.”“Understandable.”“What do I do?” I asked.“Just talk to her. Keep aside any friendliness. Talk to her like a new person. Like you are meeting a stranger that you want to make your friend but this stranger has some prejudice about your race. Just imagine that sort of scenario.
