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 POVOn the sidewalk, Methis walked angrily away as I followed from behind running after her. Beside us is a huge brown brick apartment building and a fire hydrant."Come on Methis, calm down," I said as I ran after and held her by the hand."Get your freaking paws off me!" she yelled at me as she yanked her hand out of my grasp, "Don't you dare touch me again," she threatened with her index finger pointed at me."Come on Meth, I can explain," I said to her, "Just hear me out for a bit," I pleaded."No, get away from me," she replied taking a step back as I took a step closer to her, "I can't believe I ever trusted you," she said, "I thought I had finally figured you out. I thought you were different from how you acted on the outside. But I guess I was wrong," she added with tears rolling down her cheeks."Methis, please," I pleaded further, "It's not what you think," I explained."Save it please!" she yelled, "I don't wanna hear it. I was a fool for ever believing that you cou
Methis POVWe all sat at a theatre hall with rows of step-like seats filled with students. A grey-bearded professor stood in front of the class giving a lecture. There was silence as the voice of the professor travelled around the class.".........and that's the foundation of every successful journalist. In fact, from what we've observed in recent times, there has been an............"I was lost in thoughts as I tried to shake off the thought of what happened between Xander and Jamal. What's wrong with those two? I thought, “Why can't they just be more mature and talked things out? Dumb jocks!" I muttered in annoyance."Miss Delis? Miss Delis?" someone called, their voice suddenly reaching a crescendo and interjecting my thought flow."Yes," I stuttered as I snapped back into reality only to realize that it was the professor who called me. "Oh shit!" I thought as I stood up. "Yes sir," I corrected myself."I don't suppose you were referring to the whole class and I as dumb jocks," he
Methis Delis POVI felt a pang of guilt and sadness. They looked so grown up, and yet so vulnerable. I wished I could hug them and tell them how much I loved them, but I knew they might not welcome my touch. I had to earn their trust first, and show them that she cared.I decided to start with the boy, who seemed more willing to talk. I noticed that he had a book on the coffee table, and picked it up."Are you reading this?" I asked, holding up the book. It was a science fiction novel, with a picture of a spaceship on the cover.He nodded, and his eyes lit up a bit."Do you like it?"He nodded again, more enthusiastically now, a wide smile forming on his face. Finally, I was starting to get to him."What is it about?" I asked, brushing a lone lock of hair behind my ears."It's about a boy who travels to different planets and meets aliens. It's very interesting."I smiled, and felt a spark of connection. I had always loved science fiction, and had read many books of the genre when I wa
