Chapter 153

Miguel's pov

"One at a time," he said as a matter of fact

"He told me his name when he came here, and that was when you were in there with your hygiene student. No am not dating anyone.

I carried the stacks of books to the shelve

I have really lazy bosses who doesn't do any work besides gossiping and looking for whom to gossip with the nam

They do no work in here at a

I left work a bit earlier than I normally do because my bosses thinks it won't be safe conveying my kids back through a dark stree

Since I was leaving earlier than I normally did, I decided to take the shortcut hom

I've never been on the shortcut because the streets looks forboding at night, but right now it looks like every other street in this tow

Following this street will take us home quite faster than the other road I frequen

Nabel and Lijah were making little gurgling baby sounds as I soothingly sang to them. My mind getting lost in the tuning of the musi

"Hey there," I heard a male voice behind m

At first I thought they were talking to another unti

" Hey you with the stroller, stop there

I stopped and turned towards the person who stopped 

I seriously don't know why he will think to stop me when I've done absolutely nothing to hi

The man in front of me seems to be standing at 7'4. His dark clothings molded perfectly to his muscled body. His long red hair was tied back in a tight pony tai

Looking at his body without sparing a glance at his face, one will think him handsome until you see his fac

Half part of his face was covered in ugly scars, a line running from his forehead till it disappearance in his clothing makes him look like Chucky reincarnate

I tightened my hold on my babies' carriage, my heart thumping faster than I think possibl

"Why are walking along the streets of Maki like you owe it human? don't you know where the likes of you reside in

I gulped on fear, my thoughts spiraling out of control as he kept on  advancing towards me "humans like you aren't worthy to thread on the floors of Maki

" Human? why are you saying it as of you're not a human

Even as I asked the question, I kept on going backwards, my babies' stroller in my hand

Nothing will make me leave my babies behind, not even fea

Living without my babies isn't an option. My babies are my life. They're the only thing I have left of my mate

Without them life isn't worth livin

"Of course not human," he raised his right hand up, and a ball of fire appeared on how pal

"God!" I gasped when I saw i

What's this? who's this huma

Is this why almost all the members of this close knit town seem suspiciou

Looking at him with the ball of fire on his hand, I wasn't as fazed as I should have been seeing a ball of fire materialize on his han

I guess seeing a human morphing to a wolf have prepared me for the strangeness of things in this worl

Funny how I now think of the supernatural when years ago I was completely and utterly clueless about things like thi

A year ago, if I was told I will witness the strange things  am seeing now, I wouldn't have believed the words. Neither would I believe if told I will one day experience the perks of being a wolf's mat

"Am not a human like you piece of tras

I took urgent steps back until my stroller almost plummete

I turned to set it. Momentarily forgetting about the male with the fire on his palm. My entire focus on my babies who almost had a fal

Don't worry. Daddy will protect yo

I inwardly vowed to my babies before I stood up to face hi

"Am not trespassing like you think  I am. I live in this town with my mother and kids," I slowly said so he will fully understand my word

I don't want there to be any misunderstanding between u

" Why should I believe your words human?" he advanced closer to me

" You don't have to doubt every words that comes out from my mouth because am I human," I kept on looking at the ball of lightening on his han

What will happen if he's to throw that thing to me? Will I get burnt will it be neutral on me like it's on his pal

"Humans knows nothing but lies," he makes another identical fire with his other han

I gulped. My mind thinking of ways to get myself and my kids out of here without having much injur

As much as it sounds plausible and impossible, I can't allow my fears rule how I thin

My babies are relying on me to make the right decision and safe them. Fear isn't an optio

I have to be brave for them. Brave for the kids who came out to this world to console m

"Lies? is there any specie in this world that doesn't lie? even elves who are said not to lie, always lie

People try to deceive themselves by saying they don't li

Lying comes naturally. You lie either knowingly or unknowingly, by omission or through coded mean

"That's what humans believe in." he took a step towards me, the energy crackling between his palms holding the blazing fir

I push my stroller back as I took three steps back. Getting caught in the fire isn't an optio

If only I know of a way to expertly leave here with no hurt on my babies and I, I promise the moon goddess, I will be a good daddy who doesn't take a short cut despite how urgent the place am going might be.

Shortcuts like some says do lead to destruction.
