Jamal Kunis POV
I felt the burning urge to ignore her pleading and force myself on her but there was this tender innocence that her pleading radiated that made it intensely difficult to ignore the pleading.“Why are you pleading?” I asked. It vexed me that I had paid a large amount of money I had paid only to have this girl refuse me. things were not done that way. “Why then did you agree to the contract if you were going to plead? Did you not read the contract?”“It wasn’t me,” the Methis said.“What?” I was genuinely confused.“It was my stepmother who sold me I swear. She just did it out of nowhere.” She sat up on the bed but still did not dare to look me in the eyes as we talked. “I had no idea we were going to do this on my first night. I had not prepared for such thing, my lord. If only you could just give me a little time to adapt, I promise I would not be this way.”I held her face and stared into her eyes, adjusting her head so she stared back. Tiny traces of tears had begun to trickle down from her eyes onto her cheek. But now was no time to be weak, now was a time to step up so I could save myself and the entire werewolf world from plunging itself into utter chaos. Did this girl not understand? Of course, she did not. She was human and all they cared and ever thought about was their feeling. Delicate creatures, those ones, I said to myself.I hardened my heart from the pleas of Methis who was just right in front of me, pleading in her soft tune with an eye filled with tears and a mask of fear washed across all over her face. It was almost as if I was torturing her as if I was a monster. It was probably the way she saw me now.“I will not ask politely again,” I said, my own anger pounding hard against my heart.Methis sniffed and pulled herself up, kneeling on the so she could be at par in terms of height with me who was currently standing at the edge of the bed. She tugged at my clothes, doing her very best to take them off. She was not very good at it. Either that or her shaky hands would not just let her do as she was commanded smoothly. With my help, she was able to take my shirt off and she now fondled with my belt. It was a simple belt so it did not take long before she took it off. However, she hesitated to take off my trousers. Perhaps for fear of what would come next after that. She leaned back, sparing a quick glance at my face and catching my eyes before looking down.At this point I was already turned off, her demeanor had killed any ounce of mood I had previously had. I turned to her, watching as she struggled to not break down into complete tears. The memories of the Dark Witch came in a flash and I was convinced that this could not be her. The attitude did not just match in any way. The Dark Witch did not fear me, in fact, the Dark Witch feared nothing, there was no way she was going to weep over being intimate.But Methis was different, soft in every way including her heart and light in weight, I had my doubts as to whether she was even capable of killing a fly without being traumatized by the experience. Reluctantly, I stood up from the bed, looking down at Methis with anger. Anger that I did not want to show out for her to see.“You can go,” I said. “Get out.”She rushed to her feet immediately and took a quick bow shuffling to where her clothes laid and dressing up in haste. “Thank you, my lord,” she muttered.“Just get out.” I was trying my best not to lose my cool and I think the tone of my voice was betraying my true feelings.I sat on the bed, quiet as a graveyard. There is no way I would allow this human to toy with my emotions, I would not allow it. Not today, not in a million years. However, it was quite queer, I had to admit, that just a few seconds ago I was having this deep craving for that human – someone who I had promised myself that I would have no attachment towards. Yet, the rejection hurt like a spear to the chest.Her likeness to the Dark Witch still could not leave me and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became about the rejection which unsurprising enough, had begun to form a connection and bear a resemblance to the betrayal I had suffered in the hands of the Dark Witch. I clenched my fist in frustration. What the hell was wrong with my Beta? Of all the girls the world had to offer, he just had to go for the one that would mess with my head. The one that resembled the woman that I once loved.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
