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

Jamal POV"How were they?" I asked as she approached me, the smile on her face told me all I needed to know.It had gone well.She stood close to me, close enough that I could smell her perfume and shampoo, I wanted desperately to reach out and hug her but I knew that was a terrible idea."They are- beautiful." She said, her voice cracking at the last word. I noticed her eyes were getting wet."Well," I said, sticking both my hands in my back pocket to prevent me from putting them around her. "Their mother is beautiful, I wouldn't expect less.""Stop it." She scolded, wiping off the tears quickly with the back of her palm. "Stop being so kind Jamal.""Please, Methis, just hear me out." I said, grabbing her arm as she tried to walk away from me. "I know I messed up, but I'm different now. I've changed. I'm a better man, Methis. A better father."She looked at me with a cold stare, as if I was a stranger. She pulled her arm away from me and shook her head. "Jamal, you can't just show up

Jamal Kunis POVI had been walking for hours, but it felt like minutes. The sun was setting behind the horizon, casting a crimson glow over the city. I barely noticed the beauty of the scenery, my mind was too preoccupied with the impending confrontation.I just needed her to see that. I needed her to give me another chance. I needed her to forgive me.I arrived at the gate of her father's house, a massive mansion that loomed over the street. I pressed the intercom button, hoping that someone would answer."Who is it?" a voice crackled through the speaker."It's Jamal. I need to speak with Methis.""What are you doing here?" he asked in a cold tone."Sir, I need to talk to you. Please, let me in." I said, trying to sound respectful.He shook his head and blocked the entrance. "There is nothing to talk about. You are not welcome here. Go away and leave my daughter alone.""Please, sir, I love Methis. She loves me too. We want to be together. Can't you see that?" I pleaded.There was a

Xander POVMy mind raced back to that party, it had been my first party as a fresher. I had expected to have all shades of fun that night until it got cut short when I sensed its strong presence. Like a magnet, I felt drawn to it."Come on, man. You don't have to go to this party. I promise you it wouldn't be lit," my roommate said, he was also a fresher like me.I threw on a white tank top and donned my black jacket. I checked myself out in the mirror as I combed through my hair with my fingers.Ever since we both resumed as freshers, my roommate had always been afraid to sleep alone."Shut the eff up, or you let me get ready in peace."He groaned, "Come on. This place is still unfamiliar; I don't want to stay alone.""Then get ready," I told him for the umpteenth time, standing my ground.Eventually, we went to the party together."You know the host?" I asked, sizing up all the sexy girls in the room.I felt his hard gaze on me, "How am I supposed to know? You forced me here.""Rela

Xander's POV I stumbled down the street, feeling every bruise and cut on my body. I had fought Jamal, the guy who had been harassing my sister for months. I had tried to protect her, but I had failed. He had beaten me up, and worse, he had hurt her too. I felt a surge of anger and guilt, mixed with pain and fear. I needed a drink, something to numb the ache in my soul. I saw a bar nearby and decided to enter. Maybe I could forget, for a moment, what had happened. I walked into the dimly lit place, ignoring the stares of the other patrons. I made my way to the counter and ordered a whiskey. I downed it in one gulp, feeling the burn in my throat. I ordered another one, and another one, until I lost count. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see a girl smiling at me. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and she wore a tight dress that showed off her curves. She looked like a model, or a hooker, or both. “Hey, handsome,” she said, batting her eyelashes. “What’s your name?” I didn

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.

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.

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

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.
