Chapter 154

Miguel's pov

He kept advancing towards me until I who was taking a discreet step back with my stroller hit a wall.

"In your next life human. You will learn not to lie, " he raised his hands up towards me.

This is it now, am about to die.

I stepped in front of my babies. At least I will shield them in the moment of my death.

Who Know if they will be lucky enough to be found by a kind couple who will take them in and train them a their own.

"Die!" he sent the balls of fire towards me.

In a protective stance, I raised my hand as a defense mechanism and closed my eyes.

Before I don't know the reason people close their eyes when they're about to die, but now I know the reason. They did so to lessen the pain of death.

Looking at the fireballs will make me experience my death before it finally hits me.

I tightly closed my eyes to avoid seeing the fire touch me.

I guess it's always my destiny to die. Manuel didn't succeed in his own plans, I bet this fire man will succeed in his. 

No matter who I am, I can't survive the mighty balls of fire on his palms.

"Miguel? are you alright?" a familiar voice asked.

"Are you stupid?" I still kept my eyes closed "can't you see am about to die?

How can someone be asking so foolish a question? Asking me if am alright when am about to be smoked by the fire on the palms of the bulky man?

"Open your eyes Miguel," the familiar voice said again.

"Open my eyes and risk seeing my death before it hits me? I rather have my eyes closed than have it open and witness something I don't ever want to witness."

How can he ask me to open my eyes?

" Nabel is about to be taken by a monster!" the voice shouted in alarm.

pl

 With my heart beating faster than ever, I opened my eyes, and turned towards my stroller to see my babies fast asleep. No monster around them.

" Where's the monster? where did he go?"

I swear to the entire entities of Earth. If anything had happened to my babies, I won't spare whoever it is that did such thing.

I won't spare them at all.

"So that's what will get you to open your eyes huh?" Aiden smirked when I locked eyes with him.

"You lied with my baby's name all because you want me to open my eyes?" I glare at him " if you're playing with me. Don't you dare play with my babies."

I won't hesitate to take necessary actions against if he dares do such a thing again. 

My babies are precious to me. They're not to be played with.

"I get it. I won't make use of their names again." He raised his hand in surrender.

" You better not be," I turned to the place the monster in form of a human was standing just moments ago.

Instead of him standing with that ferocious look on his face, he was kneeling on the ground hie head bowed in respect.

" Why's he like that?" 

Is this another technique of him? Make it seem like he's repenting of his deeds, and do something worse?

" Am sorry revered human," 

I was surprised at the tune of voice he made use of. If I was told the growling bulky man who almost killed me have so smooth a voice, I wouldn't have believed it at all.

His voice sounds like that of a child who was caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

"Why's he apologizing?" I look at Aiden in question.

"He knows what he was about to do was wrong. We Maki towners might not like humans, but we don't retort to dangerous means to get rid of them. He knows he's at fault, that's why he's apologizing."

Hmmm.

" You can no leave. Tell the other villagers that he and his mother are allowed in all part of this town. Take heed all knows what will happen if harm comes to them," he said in dismissal.

" Thank you high one," the male disappeared right in front of me.

" Gods!" I palmed my chest " did he just disappear in front of me?" 

I know there are supernaturals in this world, but never have I thought I will see something like this.

" Are you alright?" Aiden asked in concern.

"What is he? what are you ?" I know he and the male who just disappeared are the same. Not forgetting the title the male who disappeared bestowed on him. He called him the high one.

Aiden smiled "it's not a talk to be had in a place like this. Let's go to a place where you can sit and listen. Moreover the weather is too cold for you to stand here with your babies least the freeze to..."

" Don't even think of completing that sentence Aiden. I don't playfully make use of that word where my babies are concerned."

"You're really too protective of your babies," Aiden smiled.

"Why won't I be?" they are the only things I got of my mates. They're my most prized jewels in this entire world. I won't trade them for anything in this world. Not for silver, and neither for gold.

"Being a mother really suits you," he smiled "you're cute whenever you're acting all protective."

"Am not a mother silly, " I set my babies stroller " Am a daddy," I frown at the male who doesn't know the difference between a male and a female.

He chuckled "I really love the expression you make whenever you're angry. It makes you more cute and loveable." 

His words made me blush, but it didn't cause my heart to beat as fast as it does when my mates are close to me. 

"Flattery will get you no where Aiden," I smile "all it will do now is momentarily delay the talk we're to have."
