His Lost Tribrid Novel

Chapter 5 

Ezra POV 

"Miles! Emma!"

I bellowed as Niko and I walked through the warehouse out the back of his adventure shop.

We had often shown up on delivery days since we were teenagers, helping to carry the heavy equipment and hunting supplies through to the shop.

Normally, this place ran itself and Miles had employed humans to see that it was all ticking over smoothly, but on delivery day, he needed the extra muscle.

"Ezra? I’m out front," his friendly voice boomed from the shop floor.

Miles was about the most stand-up bloke you would ever meet.

He rarely said a bad word about anyone and seemed to breeze through life living off positive vibes and a can-do attitude.

It was admirable and I looked up to him a lot.

All the men from the inner circle would often go on camping weekends and, over the last few years, Niko and I have been tagging along.

Nothing quite beats waking up to the sound of nature and the sun rising over a mountain top.

Niko and I strolled through the warehouse and into the front of the shop that was set up for customers looking for anything from torches to shooting rifles.

It was a haven for adrenaline junkies and adventure seekers of this world.

"Ezra! Niko!"

Two little munchkins came racing towards us, Immy jumping up at me while Izzy went straight to Niko.

They never tried to hide who their favorites were.I flung Immy over my shoulder, her hair trailing down my back, and spun quickly.

"Where’d she go? I swear I heard the twins? Niko?" and acting just as clueless as me.

"How strange...we must have lost them!"

The girls screamed and giggled as we continued to spin from side to side, pretending to look for them.

"Happy birthday Ezra! Thanks for coming guys.Today’s delivery is a heavy load so I could do with your help," Miles said, smiling at his girls as we placed them back on their feet.

"No problem.Happy to help," Niko said whilst walking over to look at the inventory list.

"Ezra! Ezra! We made a new friend today! Her name is Lily and she is the most beautiful girl in the entire world,"Isabel gushed and put her hands under her chin, fluttering her eyelashes.

I smirked and pinched her nose.

"I don’t believe you.No one can be more beautiful than you two!"

"That’s what she said!" Imogen shouted excitedly.

"But she is! And she was so cool.She had a wicked dress and she was a witch!"

I raised my eyebrow over to Miles who was smirking behind the counter, checking the cash register.

He caught my eye and shook his head.

"No, she was human.But they were right about one thing.She was very pretty although a little odd.I would have guessed around your age as well," he replied, giving me a suggestive look.

"Who was very pretty?"

Emma interrupted with a teasing tone.She saddled up to him and his whole attention turned to her.

He only ever had eyes for her.

"Just a young woman who came into the shop today and befriended our little rascals.But you, my love, are out of this world!" he wrapped his arms around her waist, grinning like a cheshire cat.

Emma rolled her eyes but beamed nonetheless to play.

“ I’ll see you tonight," she gave him a kiss on the lips that ended up turning into the longest, most inappropriate songfest.

Honestly, I was used to it by now.

All our parents were like it.

It was a mate thing.

"Urgh.So gross,"

Imogen stuck out her tongue and pretended to be sick.

"Look, do you want to see a picture?" Isabel asked me, pulling out her phone.

"A picture of what?"

"Of Lily!" she rolled her eyes as if it was the most obvious answer.
