#2 Chapter 60
Chapter 60.
Xander and Annabelle Morgan were crying as they sat down on the stairs. Annabelle’s tears were just pouring from her eyes uncontrollably but Xander’s tears were coming from his eyes involuntarily, he didn’t even know that he was crying.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Why are you both sitting down and crying here, preventing us from passing? Is it a free tears day?” They suddenly had a voice said to them and looked up to apologize but their apologies stuck in their throats.
Standing before them was the stranger they had been searching around for, the same man that looked exactly like Xander.
“He might not be the one Xander, it’s possible that we are seeing things again, let’s just go home.” Annabelle said, not wanting to believe that they have finally found him. She thought that they were seeing things again like how all the men in the mall began to resemble Xander in their sight.
“You are right, let’s go home, mummy will be waiting for us by now, she will be so worried.” Xander said and stood up with Annabelle.
“You both are not planning on leaving me stranded here right?” Damien asked them with a frown. “This is one of the reasons I don’t get along with kids, they are sometimes difficult to understand.” He thought as a deeper frown gently settled on his face.
Xander and Annabelle stared up at him, expecting themselves to see a new face but they saw that he still remained the same.
“Xander, it’s really him! Oh my God!” Annabelle squealed wiping her tears immediately.
“Yes it is.” Xander said silently staring at the strange man. “How can he looks just like me? Is this how handsome I will become when I grow older?” He thought and Damien rolled his eyes, he read Xander’s little mind.
“Come, let’s fine a place to talk.” Damien said, he looked around and spotted a coffee shop. “Let’s go over there.” He pointed at the shop.
“Sure, let’s go.” Annabelle said and began walking towards Damien but Xander pulled her back.
“Mom said we shouldn’t follow a stranger to a destination he choose. We have already broken a rule by talking to you but I won’t allow us to break another rule.” Xander told Damien, now glaring at him. “What if he is really a kidnapper?” He thought and again Damien read his mind.
“I’m not a kidnapper. If I am, I would have kidnapped you three the other day even before your friends find you and moreover, I won’t force you both to follow me though you are not the only curious one here. So it’s either you follow me and find answers or you stay behind and remain in the dark.” Damien said and began walking away towards the coffee shop which was just beside the mall.
“I don’t trust him anymore, I think we should go back home.” Xander said and looked beside him to see that Annabelle was gone, she was already running towards the stranger!
“I trust him okay? Come on.” She told him with a shout and he sighed, and walked gently behind them.
Annabelle got to Damien’s side and shoved her hands into Damien’s with her face beaming with smiles.
Damien halted and removed his hand from hers immediately, glaring at the little girl. “Come on cold ass, her hand doesn’t bites right? And don’t deny the fact that you love the feeling of having her hand in yours.” Dam said to him laughing in his head.
“Shut up!” Damien blocked Dam and gently calmed his raising heart. He can’t deny the fact that he loved the kids at first sight and deep down in him, he wished earnestly that they were his but how will that be possible? I had no sexual intercourse with anyone right?
He sighed and stared at Annabelle’s now dull face. “I’m sorry.” She muttered, holding her hands nervously.
“What’s your name?” He asked her.
“Annabelle.”
“It is not right to hold an adult in the hand Annabelle, but a sensible adult should be able to remember to hold a little girl’s hand, forgive me.” He got hold of her hand and began walking again.
Annabelle broke into a smile, clutching to his hand happily. “This man must be our father or else..” She thought, causing Damien to fake a cough, he read her thoughts too.
“Are you okay Mister?” Annabelle asked, staring at Damien confusingly.
“Of course.”
They three settled on the seats around a coffee table in the coffee shop. Annabelle sat beside Damien, she refused to let go of his hand and Xander sat opposite them.
“What should I offer you sir?” A female coffee attendant asked as she approached them, she was mostly smiling at Damien who was not even staring at her.
“Back off! He is married and he loves his wife.” Annabelle snapped at her angrily.
“Uh?” The attendant was embarrassed.
“Just give us your cheapest coffee and leave! And come on, you are too ugly to compete with our mother so leave!” Xander added giving her his most irritating glare.
The attendant stomped away while Damien was sitting like a robot, he was quite surprised.
“I’m not married!” He told them frowning.
“Well, we will see to that but first, how did you got my face?” Xander asked Damien with a serious look on his face, causing Damien to laugh.
“You are the younger one here, so the question should be, how did you got MY face?” Damien said, emphasizing on the word ‘my’.
Xander sighed. “I don’t know how we manage to look so much alike.”
“What is your name? And who was the other girl with you both the other day?”
“I am Xander and the other girl is our sister, we are triplets. Her name is Katherine.” Xander explained, his eyes not wavering from Damien, not even for ones. “What is your own name?” Xander and Annabelle asked Damien at a time.
“I am Damien Blackhood from Black Hood pack. I’m an alpha.” He told them. He didn’t know why he told them about his wolf’s identity but he thought that they deserve to know. He knew they can do nothing to him even if they understand him though he doubted that they would understand and of course they didn’t understand Damien because they laughed at him after some minutes of silence.
“If you are an alpha, then I’m a young alpha.” Xander joked.
“And I’m a young Luna.” Annabelle too said. They knew about werewolves from a story book they took from the library in school.
“What was I thinking when I told them about that?” He wondered and looked at the kids as they laughed.
“Where is your father?” He asked them and they stopped laughing immediately.
“We have no father.” They replied him.
“How is that even possible?”
“We don’t know.”
“I wish to meet your mother!”
“That’s not possible! Mom will skin us alive.”
“Please!”
