Tammy's POV
I stare at the attractive man still stunned by his drop in confidence.
"Mustafa?" Estacita's voice exclaimed behind me. They know him. He smiles and gets into the house.
"Hey,Cita! Long time no see," he hugs her with a laugh. I close the door as Mrs Manchester comes down stairs with the same excitement.
"Granny!" He exclaims as she embraces him affectionately. Tonight is surely going to be a celebration. Am sure of it.
"Oh my dear grandson,I never thought I'd see you again since your father took you away," Mrs Manchester held his cheek between tears of joy. He's family? Oh my God! Hunter appears in the living room, he's changed to a pair of black sweat pants with a navy hoodie whose sleeves are rolled up exposing his muscular fore arms.
"Ah! Hunter,my man," Mustafa points at him before they shake hands formally.
"Its good to see you,bro. Its been long. How's your father?" Hunter asks as they sit opposite on the single sofas. I head to the stairs and leave this family reunion at peace to harmonize their distances.
"Dead," I hear Mustafa's faint voice as I climb the stairs to my room. I couldn't have possibly heard right..
Hunter's POV
I hear Estacita scream Mustafa's name and it catches me by surprise. We weren't expecting him this early but nevertheless, he was here to help Estacita train for her wolf self then after her breed ceremony,he would leave. I hadn't seen him after that night....
I threw on my hoodie and headed down stairs. Granny was already there embracing and cuddling him when I walked into the living room.
"Ah! Hunter my man," he acknowledges my presence. We hold a firm hand shake before I speak up
"Its good to see you bro,its been a long . How's your father?" I ask then his face hardens with emotion he is struggling to keep to him self. We move to the sofas slowly before he whispers his answer.
"Dead,"
Granny and Estacita gasp in surprise and cuddle each other in tears.
Females!!
"When?" I ask ignoring them
"Right after he heard that...that his brother was dead. He..he stabbed himself too," Mustafa clenched his jaw and fists in unison before looking up at me. I knew exactly how he felt at the moment. I knew damn well...I had gone through the same but different..
"But," he suddenly lightens up with a smile "I've moved on with life and am happy and even became happier when I met the most seraphic creature on this planet," his smile expanded as he said this
"Your dating!!" Estacita chuckled through tears sitting up from Maley's arms.
"What? Gosh no," he laughed lightly
"Well,Estacita I hope your ready for your training because you have two weeks to your breeding," Maley informs her
"Mustafa's going to be my trainer?!!" Her eyes widen with excitement
"That's right and you better be a fast learner coz I give punishments too," he jokes and they all laugh. "Oh by the way,Hunter d'you still play chess?"
"Why would I ever stop?" I smile.
"He plays by himself like all the time..." Estacita exaggerates
"Well then,i can start my welcome with a game of chess with the greatest player I know,"
"You're on,man!"
°°°
I sit quietly concentrating my thoughts to the chess board Infront of me. Mustafa and I had quickly immersed ourselves into a challenge right then and my granny called everyone else to watch us play. The game had gone for about 45 minutes and Mustafa was proving to be more challenging than I thought. He had many new tricks behind his sleeves but I was too good myself. My cousin and I exchange laboured glances before I make my next move...
"Checkmate!" I moved my queen to the left and interlocked his king right between his bishop and my castle.
"Damn!" He raked a hand threw his hair. "Wow, I always thought that through these long years you'd forget your game but it seems I was wrong," Mustafa sighed with laughter relaxing back on his seat.
"I still used to play mentally," I shrug leaning back into my seat too and that's when I meet her soft eyes. Tammy averts my gaze shifting slightly with Anika in her arms.
"Hunter has a chess game on all his gadgets..." Estacita bursts out and we all look at her blankly "I might have looked through some of your stuff," she faltered her confession.
"D'you want to go again?" My cousin asked me and I chuckled,shuffling my understanding finger over my nose slowly trying so hard to look over Mustafa to Tammy. Damn it!
"I'd still beat you...with five moves," I waved my hand to make a point.
"Haha...I know you're unbeatable,Hunter,"
"Tammy could beat you in five moves," Anika mumbles but loud enough so we could all hear.
Tammy's POV
I gasped suddenly when I heard what Anika had just said. Was she insane?? Everyone in the study paused and stared in our direction for a moment. I meet Hunter's gaze and he seemed pretty excited about this.
"Oh no no Anika's just....
"Oh don't back out,Tammy. Cmon show us a bit of your moves." Hunter's cousin got up from his seat and took my hand in his. I let out a hoarse sigh and trailed my gaze towards the man I was going to be facing. With hesitation,i replaced Mustafa with a shaky breath. My palms suddenly got so sweaty and the adrenaline splashed through my body with a painful and paralysing chill. I can't believe I'm doing this...
"Alright,Tammy...impress me," Hunter smirked covering his lips with his fore finger so only I could see his smile. I moistened my lips and made the first move. Everytime Hunter would eat one of my players,we would make eye contact and he'd have this grim look on his face as though he knew that I was letting him win at some point. I didn't know what to do now..Hunter made the game so hard that I had to at least do something to beat him if I wanted this game to stop. So I let go...I made my move.
"Check mate!" I suddenly announced and everyone in the room gasped out of surprise
"Told you," Anika chuckled.
I checked him trice before he finally gave up threw his hands in the air in surrender. But I was worried...what if he didn't like the idea that I had practically beaten him. I raised my eyes slowly to meet his and there he was with a smirk plastered across his virile face. His eyes sparkled in a way I couldn't express. He was actually smiling at me!!! Mustafa grabbed me off the chair abruptly and whirled me in his arms. Before I could muster the energy to resist, I caught glimpse of Hunter leaving the room. He was angry...I knew it! What had I done?!!
