After about thirty minutes of driving, mum finally pulled up to the parking lot of a cafe, Sunflower cafe. We got out of the car and walked in. The strange man was pointing towards a set of seats a little away from public view but mum picked the closest one to us, it was right beside the door. We followed her and sat down, the strange man had no choice but to join us. I was anxious to hear what he had to say to me. "So you wanted to speak to Elsa, here she is. What do you have to say?", mum sounded very stern. She was using the same tone she used when I did something wrong.
I saw the man take a deep breath, "This is an important yet delicate topic", The man stated with his deep sultry voice. "I am Aden Sliver, the CEO of Sliver companies", he said before he could continue the door opened and another tall lanky man walked in. He smiled at us and sat beside the strange man. He brought backup? This could be serious. "This is Austin, my best friend and personal assistant", he explained. "Apart from being the CEO of Sliver companies, I am also a werewolf", he paused. I was confused, werewolves exist? That was Impossible, I had high hopes for this strange man but now he's talking crazy. " I am the alpha of the sliver moon pack hence the surname and I just found my mate recently". Mate? Like a two animals that comes together in order to bear children? "Okay, so how does this have to do with Elsa?", my mum asked. "Elsa's my mate", this strange man stated. What? Excuse me, I'm not some baby bearing machine to a crazy man. Even though he's a handsome crazy man. He stared at me but I was confused. How is this possible? "So let me get this straight, you are the CEO of such a big company but also a creature from story books and somehow my daughter is your mate?", my mum summarized, trying to make sense of the whole thing. "yes", he said. "You must be joking", mum blurted. "I'm not, you have to believe me please Elsa", he looked at me, I looked away, I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze, it was too intense.
His personal assistant, Austin spoke, ' ma'am, please may I have a word with you in private?" "No, I'm not leaving these children alone with this delusional man", my mum said with certainty. "We won't go far, just over there. You would still be able to see them", Austin pointed not to far from us. My mum reluctantly followed him. I looked at the strange man in front of me, he appeared discouraged and sad but that's what you get for making stories up. "So, are there dragons where you come from?, Chelsea asked sarcastically, I pinched her from underneath the table. Event though I don't believe a word of what he's saying, he seemed pretty hurt and shouldn't be made fun of. I looked at him and he started looking back at me, I quickly looked away. After a few minutes,.mum came back with Austin and sat down. She seemed a lot more confused and shocked like she was beginning to believe them. "I have spoken to um him, He would fill you in on whatever we spoke about. I don't know what's going on but I would like to be enlightened. Till then stay away from my daughter and her school. I don't wish to see you within five miles radius of either of them, do you understand?", mum sounded stern. "Okay", he said without looking up. "Let's go." Mum got up and left, we followed. The man didn't follow us, he didn't even get up. I was quiet because I didn't know if what he said was true or not.
"ooooh So Aunt, do you think he is speaking the truth?", Ava asked while giggling. "I don't know yet but I'll find out, till then you all must be alert and you can not tell this to anyone, understood?", my mum said. "of course aunt, I don't want anyone calling me delusional", Bryan made a joke which everyone laughed about. I knew they were all worried and confused but they were also trying to lighten the atmosphere. "Hey Elsa, how does it feel to be in a fairytale?", Coast asked. "I'm not in a fairytale, what are you talking about. Werewolves aren't real", I said. "Oh they are real alright, real, handsome and rich. I want one", Chelsea commented. "I can be a werewolf, I'm rich, handsome and I can howl pretty good", Bryan said. They all laughed. Was I truly in a fairytale or was I just dreaming? Is he truly a werewolf?
Soon enough, we dropped my friends off individually at their houses before going home. I got home and went straight to my room, I needed to forget that today happened. I soon fell asleep.
