Bab 91: He doesn't know
Both hands clasp together, me and Alexander walk in. The fear radiates off my body, scared of what my grandpa is going to say. He’s been quiet since we’ve walked in, by his body language he seems tense and nervous.
How much did he see? Alexander shifting into a werewolf? Us kissing? Well, that wouldn’t be so bad if he saw it, just embarrassing. I let go of Alexander’s hand, it’s moist with sweat so I wipe it aggressively against my pants.
"You ok?" Alexander asks.
"Uh no...you know that I sweat profusely." I really need to get this checked out, this doesn't seen normal.
“So, I know you're wondering why I called you both in here?” My grandpa says shifting his weight to his right hip. I nod my head while Alexander just stands there, before he seemed a little scared now he’s just...calm.
“We...are?” I say slowly.
“Here’s the thing I-.” My blabber mouth cuts him off.
“Whatever you saw out there is false. It’s probably your medicine making you hallucinate.” I breath out. Both my grandpa and Alexander look at me with strange looks, I cower under their glares.
“Will you be calm.” Alexander whispers to me, his hand comes to the small of my back.
“Will you not be so calm.” I reply back.
“What?”
“Just...shh.” I return my attention to my grandpa.
“I don’t know...exactly what that was, but I will ignore it. I was wondering if you guys can help me with something.”
“Oh help, yeah of course we can help you. I would love to help you; wouldn’t you love to help Alexander?” I ask tugging on his arm; he just cuts his eyes at me. So he didn't see anything, supernatural outside thank god.
“Is she ok?” Grandpa asks Alexander.
“At this point, I don’t know.” I mean mug him. I smack his arm.
"I'm standing right here." I flair my arms, they just ignore me and Grandpa goes on to talking.
“Anyways, I bought Irene a necklace for her birthday, and I wanted to know if it’s nice enough.” He pulls a long velvet box from his back pocket. Inside lays a gold necklace with a green pendent stone in the middle. I gently glide my hand over the stone, it almost looks the diamond of the sea from Titanic.
“Grandpa...this is exquisite. Where- how- I'm at lost for words.” The diamond entrances me in, compelling almost.
“You think she’ll like it?” I grab onto his hand.
“Of course, she’ll like it. Hell, I like it.” A small smile forms on my lips. "When are you going to start buying stuff." I look up to Alexander.
"When you start buying me stuff." What would he want anyways, he wears the same colors and clothes.
"I'll think about it."
“Yeah Milo, it’s really nice.” Alexander chimes in.
“Thanks you guys. Now, I’d like to talk with Alexander alone. Quinneth you mind?” I look towards Alexander to make sure he’s alright with it.
“I’ll be fine, go.” I kiss him on the cheek and head upstairs to my room. Biology homework is calling me.
Alexander’s P.O.V.-
Quinneth kisses me on the cheek and walks out of the kitchen. I love how she’s so nervous to leave me alone with her grandfather, she thinks he’s going to kill me or something.
“You really like it Alexander?”
“I do Count. She’ll love it.” I reassure him.
“Hey, what was wrong with Quinn? She was acting weirder than usual.”
“Uh...she thought you saw us kissing, and you’d be angry.” I tell him. Honestly, she thought that he saw me shift from human to wolf. What she doesn’t know is that he already knows about me. I promised Count that I wouldn’t tell Quinneth what I am, and I told Quinneth I wouldn’t tell her grandpa what I am. It’s just really a lot.
“I’m ok with you guys now. Just you being alone with her makes me.... anxious.” He says as he makes himself a sandwich. “You want one?”
“No thank you I’m fine. I wouldn’t try or do anything with Quinn until she’s ready. I respect her and you.”
“That’s nice to know, but you're still a man.” Yes, I am a man and all men have needs I get it. Quinneth Is a woman I love and hold deep respect for, whatever she wants to do we do. I would never push her to do something she doesn't want to do. Quinn is also pretty tough, and sometimes scary she’s the type of person I don’t believe that gives into peer pressure.
“That I am.” Is all I say.
“Has there been any lead on finding Katana, or her brother Kai?” He asks.
“The scouts have been searching everywhere, but with no leads.” Oscar, my scout friend, has been leading the whole search. He said they have smelled scents of a Khan, but since Vet is staying at the pack, it’s hard to distinguish who the smell belongs to? I’ve been trying to get information on the whole ‘Katana-hasn’t-been-the-same-since-the-baby' incident. What was her father talking about? Did Katana have a baby?
Also, what Lyle, aka Kai, told me about Katana coming here to protect Quinn lays heavy on my mind. She knew about Quinn being a Zastitnik, and being my mate before I did. While I wasn’t looking out for her, she was the whole time. We were good friends growing up until her father’s enemy tried to kill them and they had to flee. Why wouldn’t she come straight to me?
“I remember Katana as a child. So vibrant and smart. I’ve wondered sometimes where she’s been all these years.” He looks down at his feet. “I know she’ll be fine, she’s strong and resilient. Your Alpha studies going, ok?”
“Strenuous, but fine. What time is it?”
“It’s 3:00, why?”
“I need to be going now, Alpha studies start in an hour.” I say walking towards the door.
“Have fun, and don’t give your father a hard time.” Count says pointing his finger at me.
I laugh at this comment, “I’ll try my best.”
Before I open up the door, I whisper up to Quinn. “You going to come say goodbye to me?” She’ll hear me in her bedroom.
Quinneth’s P.O.V.-
I lay flat on my stomach as I do my biology homework. Lately, the work has been getting easier and far more less. When the school year starts to wind down, the teachers get lazy. Spring break is coming up in two weeks, I plan on relaxing and getting ahead on my paintings.
As I fill out my homework, I hear Alexander whisper to me. “You going to come say goodbye to me?”
I respond back to him, “Hold on a minute.” Stuffing my homework in the backpack that sits on the desk, I leave out of room and run down the stairs. Alexander stands by the door; he shows me one of his intoxicating smiles.
“You heard me?” He asked.
“I heard you, this is so strange but cool.” I pull him by his waist and plant a soft kiss on his lips. His minty breath forms with mine, our tongues fight for dominance.
“You both better not be in there kissing.” My grandpa screams at us from the kitchen. Instantly we pull apart.
“Sorry.” I whisper to him.
“It’s fine, I need to be leaving anyways.” I go in for another kiss, but the doorbell rings. Who could that be?
Opening the door, I’m greeted by Kate, Mary, Khadijah and Lyra. Coming in they all start talking over each other.
“Are we still talking about Robert Patterson again?” Khadijah groans out.
“Why won’t you guys don’t believe me? I did see Robert Patterson at the mini mart.” Kate says explaining to us.
“Hey, I kind of believe you. He is sometimes spotted out in weird locations.” Lyra chimes in.
“I need the proof, show me the proof.” Khadijah says.
“Oh Khadijah.” Mary moans.
“Don’t ‘oh Khadijah’ me.” She says flapping her finger in front of Mary’s face.
“What is going on?” Alexander whispers to me.
“These are my friends, I forgot I invited them over.” I really need to write more stuff down; things just leave my memory.
“I could tell by the clueless look you had on your face when you opened the door.” He gently smacks my butt.
“Stop smacking my butt, you don’t know your own strength.” I smack him gently on his chest.
“He could smack my butt all day.” Khadijah says biting on her lip. God, I've got to stop inviting them over here, especially Khadijah.
