I was walking away from the school building when I sighted Jane with Zen besides the school bicycle park; I wanted to ask her what her issue was with Hazan.....yes besides the fact that he was a night-walker hunter.
"Hey guys!" I said cheerfully
"Aren't you supposed to be with your new boyfriend" Zen asked confused
"I see someone doesn't want me in their presence" I resorted
"You can relax; she knows" Jane told Zen
Zen facial expression relaxed, he gave me a lopsided smile and gave me a side hug as a way of showing his condolences
"Glad I don't have to hide any more things from you" Zen remarked
"Where is your boy toy anyway?" Jane asked
"One he isn't my boy toy, two....I told him I wanted to chill with my pals" I said coyly
"This is very unusual....you never did that when you were with Kyle" Zen said scratching the back of his auburn hair
"Truth, you only remember us at lunch time or when you have relationships problems" Jane added
"Well I am changing alright; how you guys find him?" I asked cautiously
"The truth or a lie?" Jane asked me
I rolled my eyes and crossed my hands
"The upmost truth guys" I said
"I don't like him, he seems suspicious to me" Jane said
"You're just saying that because he is a hunter" I remarked
"That is one side of it; the other side is if we can truly trust his story, we barely know the guy....you shouldn't have dated him right off after your breakup with Kyle" Jane said
"Not to be judgmental but it's true, you moved on pretty fast, it just seems too perfect" Zen commented
"Absolutely not....Hazan said it was due to the fated mate bond thing" I explained
"I really wish you won't take everything he says literally; don't let your guard down that easily because he comforts you Mog, those are the most deadly people from my experience" Jane told me sadly
"Hold up....but didn't Kyle tell you that Morgan was he's fated?" Zen asked raising his arms up confused
My eyebrows frown showing my confusion
"We need to go somewhere with less people" Jane said
"To the usual café it is" I said hopping behind Jane's bicycle because lord knows I ain't sitting behind Zen any time soon
*************************************
We gave Melissa our orders and sat at the last row of seats in the café.
This old theme of a classic 80's dinner suited the little shop; if only the town recognized the beauty of the delicious food served here it would be a major boom for Melissa.
"So Kyle told you I was his fated?" I asked Jane
"Remember how I told you I compelled you to protect you?"
"What about it" I asked her
"Kyle hired me to do it...to keep an eye on you"
A mixture of emotions arouse within me
I don't know what to think nor who to be more angry at – Kyle for hiring someone to pretend to be my friend in the name of protection or Jane for hiding this from me – I understood the supernatural world was risky but that didn't mean I would go telling the world about her secret.
"Who the fuck does he think he is?" I asked her
"Mog humans have been safe from supernatural because they don't believe in them-" Jane started saying
"And if one starts believing and acknowledging that supernaturals exist; they now are at a risk of not been immune to any supernatural manipulation" Zen finished
"That also includes hunters Morgan; that's' why I find Hazan suspicious" Jane resorted
She said as she got up towards the cashier to pay for our ordered meals
"Especially as to why he would tell you about the supernaturals right off the bat....doesn't matter whether he truly is your fated or not" Zen said
"What is your suspicion then?" I asked him
"Jane has been teaching me things since I'm her déta" He answered "There are several witches that can make love charms to lure someone to them"
"And you think that's what Hazan is doing" I replied
"That's my thought" He said
"I am not manipulated by anyone Zen, I would know it" I answered
"Honey, you know about supernaturals now; you wouldn't know if you were manipulated without another witch confirming" Jane said bringing out food and drinks
"Fine find me a witch let's see if I really I'm been charmed" I said
"I don't know any witch around Toronto. We need Kyle's help" Jane said quietly
I stopped chewing my fries, no way was I going to be in the same room as someone who acted weird, dumped me the next day and claimed to be my fated the next
"If you involve Kyle in this, I'm out"
"Morgan, it's just a precaution; a witch can help shed light on this situation" Jane said
"Well find one, you are meant to protect me right?" I remarked
I packed my food to go and left my so called friends to their unbelievable task.
I don't need Kyle's help. He could be the one lying to both Jane and Zen all along and try and blame poor Hazan. He was there for me since my mother's accident.
Hazan was my fated and no one will try and change that
