Chapter 13
Let go?
Hunter's POV –
I still couldn't believe that this ex Amyranth member was actually willing to risk his own safety for me. And, that this ex-Amyranth member had recently tried to steal my girlfriend's powers.
He seemed cocky enough with this constant wry grin on his face. He was constantly smirking at you, like when in school someone told a joke and everyone was laughing except you because they told you to go get their lunches and you didn't hear it so...anyways, enough of my childhood schoolyard experiences.
"So, are you planning on saying something anytime soon?" He asked, still with that sarcastic smile.
"Uhh, yeah, um..."
I didn't realise that I had been silent for almost 10 minutes since we had our little conversation in the men's room.
He laughed at me and told me to follow him.
"Hey, where are we going?" I asked
"I'd have thought that you being a Seeker and all, that you'd have to interview me or something like that. Where do you live Mr Niall, I'm guessing you'll at least need to take some notes. What I'm about to tell you is quite heavy."
I stared at him in bewilderment. I felt like saying "huh?" but refrained form doing so.
"Wow, I should have listened to my friends when they said the ICOW was slipping in standards."
"They're not..."
He cut me off and led me to the direction of his car. It was parked in an alleyway beside the nightclub and it definitely didn't suit him.
It was a bunged up, old piece of metal that had obviously been spray-painted a few different colours before he became the owner of it. The paint was chipping near the front and on the tyres and the backseat was piled high with paperwork.
"So many trees..." I thought to myself and pressed on. I guess it just shocked me that this overly confident, well-dressed businessman would ever own a car like this. I guess it relieved me in a way. There I was, believing that he was some supernatural human when really, he is disorganised like the rest of us. I'd expected him to drive a Porsche, but then again, I never expected an ex Amyranth member would ever break their sacred pact of secrecy. I mean, Ciaran was scary.
Ciaran, if only he realised how wonderful Morgan was, is... It's still gone and I'm afraid that it won't ever come back.
I planned on one day having a hand-fasting ceremony with Morgan. I wanted her to bear our children and love me forever. I've just let her down.
But then, how did it go? Why is the Goddess punishing me like this? Maybe this is all for the best. Maybe I should just let go.
