Chapter 2 The beginning

Amani

The moment she stepped into the hall, the sound blast from the musical instruments. Keeping her head down, she made sure her coat was on and covering her head.

" Hey Ama", Amani's friend shouted running towards her, she was trying to avoid her and now....

"Hey, Lucy", Amani greeted her turning to make sure she wasn't seen. Moving backwards, she ran into a goblin stealing coins from creatures dancing. He sneered at her to which she quickly apologize.

"Let us leave here", Lucy said dragging her away from the sound. Amani covered her eyes seeing different creatures dancing. A goblin and a ghoul dancing , she mentally gagged. Worst combination ever.

"Hey Amani, I am so glad you came", Lucy bounced happily. Twirling in the air.

"Okay, okay, stop it", Amani dragged her down. They are already attracting others attention.

Lucy is a fairy, she is always happy. Flapping her wings , she squeaked.

"What is wrong with you?", Amani was getting annoyed, her happiness was always out of point. She is her best friend and Amani love her but when she get too excited, she misbehaves.

"Where is he?" Amani asked her. She referred to their third friend, a demon. When she heard no reply, she turned , Lucy shot her a look. A very weird look

"Where is your brother?", She sighed dreamily. Lucy had always been in love with her brother.

Amani rolled her eyes. "I do not know and I do not care", she drawled.

Ordering a witch brew, she sank into the chair. A beautiful male with a pearly white fangs approached her, he smiled at her but quickly stopped in his steps when Amani shot him a deathly look.

Vampires are fucking flirt or maybe just her ex boyfriend who dumped her for an angle. They do not even match each other, fuck them. Even though an Angel was his mate and he was younger than Amani, still he has no right to dump her like that.

*****Flashback******

Amani smiled when she stood at the back of the wooden door, in her hands contains the woolen sweater she weaved for her vampire boyfriend.

Amani tiptoed into the dark room, she couldn't wait to celebrate his birthday together.

As she climbed the stairs, it creaked under her wooden sandal. The strange noises coming from his room made her frown, what was that sound?

She slowly opened the door and screamed. Amani saw her vampire boyfriend laying on the bed naked with a naked lady with wings on top of him.

She was bouncing and moaning his name while her boyfriend was blindfolded.

" Corey!", She yelled.

Corey quickly scrambled out of the bed, the blindfold on his face made him look like an idiot.

He removed it and retreated when Amani launched at him. She punched him in the face.

" You cheat, how dare you, how dare you", she screamed. The angel tried to pry her off him but Amani was too strong for her.

Light shot out from her raised hand and blasted the Angel across the room.

" Stop it Amani, please stop it. She is my mate", Corey cried with swollen lips.

The fist that was about to land on his face froze in the air.

His mate.

She stood up on her wobbly legs, the more she moved, the more painful stab her heart felt.

Amani looked between the newest couple before bolting out of the room into the forest.

*******End of flashback******

Amani let out air from her mouth as she sipped on her drink.

All she wanted to do was to drink and die as a lonely lady. She will clock twenty on the next full moon and she was without a mate.

In the creatures world, at eighteen, every creatures get mated but her case was different.

She has no mate, her grandma even tried match making her with other creatures, that maybe she will see her mate but none was her mate.

She dated an angel, a demon and even a cheating bastard vampire, all found their mate not her.

Lucy will be eighteen, her scent will be more prominent so that she will be able to find her mate. Amani prayed to the gods that her friend's mate should not be her brother.

Slow music played in Amani's ears, she groaned as she covered her ears. She felt like stepping on the stage and cut off the head of the musicians.

Love songs, love her foot.

Different murderous thoughts came running in her mind as she thought of how to stop this sorrowful music. She came here to relax not to listen to some music.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a scared looking Lucy flew towards her. She almost crashed into her.

" What is wrong?", Amani asked as she finished her fifth brew.

" I saw your brother, he is here", Lucy wheezed.

Shit! Her brother must not see her here. Amani looked around for a hiding spot.

" Amy, I kind of crashed into him and spilled the truth that you are here", Lucy feebly said.

Amani groaned, she quickly stood up but it was too late.

A raging warlock marched towards them.

" Amani McGonagall", Jadin, her brother roared. He was as mad as a bull. It runs in the family, they get riled up easily.

" Hey brother", Amani laughed sheepishly. " What are you doing here?", She asked, even though she knew why he was here.

" I should be the one to ask that, what are you doing here when grandma strictly warned you not to ever come here", he said harshly.

Amani rolled her eyes, she do not understand the reason why they are too protective of her. " I am sorry brother", she apologized.

They were already creating a scene as the creatures were looking their way.

" Amani, you should always listen to your brother", Lucy interjected. " Why do you like to trouble him?."

" I am sorry", she whispered to Amani.

" You are a bad sister, bad bad sister", she added.

" You are still my best friend", she whispered again to Amani.

Amani just stared at her friend's foolishness, she sighed and thought of how she became friends with her in the first place.

" Let us go home", Jadin dragged her through the crowd. When he successfully dragged his sister out, he threw her on her horse almost like she was a soft wool.

" You are grounded young lady", Jadin growled.

Amani sighed, today had been a hard day for her to argue with her brother, she laid on her horse, watching the stars in the cloud.

Her ears are going to bleed when her grandmother start with her.

Lucy flew silently with them, she gave her best friend her best puppy look she could mustered.

Amani sighed, she did not realize she has become a sighing machine as she kept on sighing to everything.

When they arrived at the cavern, they were greeted with powerful smell of portions and roots.

This was Lucy's cue to leave, Amani's grandmother is a very scary old woman with deep frown etched on her face, she rarely smile. That was what Amani inherited from her grandma, the frown and anger.

" Amy dear, I will see you tomorrow", Lucy bid her good bye before she flew in the dark night.

" Amani Elenore McGonagall, you sneaked out again", her grandmother, Jadis, crossed her arms as she raised a slow brow.

" I am sorry grandma", Amani apologized.

" I have always told you not to wander off like that you never listen to me."

"Wait, where is your tailsman?", Her grandma asked, her nose flared up.

" It is here with me", she replied as she searched her pocket for her ring. She frowned when she could not find it.

" It was here grandma, I swear I kept it safe in my pocket", she continued to search the pocket of her woolen jacket.

It must have fallen off at the party. " I will look for it grandma, I will find it", she swore.

" Amani, what will I do to you?", her grandma shook her head. " Go to your room and make sure you pratice your grimoire", Jadis dismissed her grandchild. She was getting old and she needed a successor to take over her portion business but her grandchild chose to be a werewolf hunter.

Amani always behave like a boy, full of energy and strength. Maybe being a werewolf hunter was not that bad, at least she would be able to hunt down those filthy dogs.

Jadis continued with the portion she was making, she looked over her shoulder at her grandson who was helping her select plants for her portions.

" Jadin, make sure you keep your eyes on her."

" Yes grandma."
