Alpha and the b***h

Chapter 12

" I am so very lucky to have my very supportive family , my beautiful daughter Cassandra.." Malakas na nagpalakpakan ang mga tao,

"My son Charlie who took a day off to be present today , thank you son, I know that you're holding one of the challenging case in your career but you're making your old man proud being here and just being who you are as a man of people saving lives.. "

Pinigilan ko ang sarili na ngumisi , dad is so hypocrite nagawa pa niya akong banggitin samantalang si Charlie lang naman ang totoong nais niyang bigyan ng diin ang papel sa buhay niya , why? Can he brag something about you? Says my evil ego.

Well well,

"Now that I officially announced my candidacy. Asahan ninyo na ang mga lumalawak na karahasan sa deniva ay mabibigyan ng wakas sa tulong ng ating adhikain, administrasyon, at ng man power na pangungunahan at isusulong ng aking anak at ng pulisya we'll end the fears residing in each of us, Hindi lamang iyon..."

Bla blah blah...

I can't take it anymore. Minabuti Kong lumabas mula sa magarang hotel restaurant kung saan ginanap ang programa para Kay daddy. I left charlie do the fakings beside daddy, after all siya lang naman ang kailangan ang presensiya rito.

Its bright outside. Mataas at bilog ang buwan. Idagdag pa ang mga ilaw na displays sa terasa ng hotel restaurant, its cozy and elegant

Sumandig ako sa pillar ng terrace at pinagmasdan ang garden sa ibaba. May mga mangilan-ngilan tao na nakaupo sa benches at ilalim ng puno.

I felt the cold breeze enveloped me. Hindi ko na inabala pang pigilan ang pagsabay ng tela ng aking black long back gown , I feel like a lost princess at the moment. Remembering those things made me realize how incomplete I am.

How weak and fearful I am. Na Hindi naman talaga ako matapang o palaban. Its all just a tough façade to mask my weaknesses , pinipilit ko lamang na labanan ang takot by showing I'm not afraid but now, I just know the real Cassandra Novalez is out.

Not the untamed and wild cat. But the lost kitten.

A big part of me is still blurry. Lost. Hindi tuluyan ipinapaalala ng isip ko kung ano man iyon, maybe because I was too young then, and because it was too painful. But the question is how? Why? What does that fast moving shadow have something to do with me seeing those repressed memories?

Alam ko na may nangyari bago ako nawalan ng Malay...

That.. Shadow.. Or that guy did something to me. Alam ko iyon.

As if its conveying me a message, filling me the gap ..

Then there he is!

Pinagmasdan Kong mabuti ang bulto sa di kalayuan.

He's staring at me...

I stared back.. He's wearing a tuxedo and he's glistening with the moonlight.

I need to talk to him!

Pinilit Kong takbuhin ang hagdan pababa tungo sa garden,

Shit...

He's still there maybe waiting for me.

"Baby.."

I smirked

"Zede.. Why are you here?" Hindi ko maiwasan ang pagdududa. I saw him last night. It was him !

He gave me his infamous smile

"Visiting you." He roamed his eyes over me

"Sexy as hell," he grins

I wore my backless and sexy lace black long back gown

"Zede.. Please tell me.. I .. I saw you last night."

Hindi ko maitago ang pangamba, siya ang nagbalik sa akin sa deniva we had a short communication before he went back to Ireland. Pero nakita ko siya kagabi bago ako nawalan ng Malay.

" is it fear I am seeing in you now sexy? Really? Cassandra Novalez? " he grins and step closer, I didn't move.

He touch my pale cheek with his left hand, it feels so warm. Halos ipikit ko ang mata ko sa ginhawa na dulot niyon

"I heard there's blood suckers within your place. Kakauwi ko lang ulit ng pinas and the immediate thing I had to do is to visit you, and kill the blood suckers."

"But last night, I discovered hindi lang pala ako ang nag aalala sayo. And yes , there's one roaming around your neighborhood who tried to attack you but we stopped him just before he can get you."

Hinahaplos niya ang pisngi ko and if feels good. Ganoon pala ang nangyari , but..

"What do you mean we? And sino? Sino ang nag aalala sakin?"

"Me. So Get your f*****g hand away from her or I'll break them into pieces now."

It sounded like a growl and a hissed. That mad baritone voice is damn familiar!

Mabilis Kong nilingon ang sino man sa akin likuran.

Vander!

Hinila niya ang braso ko paloob sa kanyang bisig , inilalayo niya ako Kay Zede. The familiar beating came again after 3 damn months..

He's here!

Tinapunan niya ako ng tingin, short while but I saw the soft and tenderness in those piece of gray eyes, there's longing too and madness.

"What are you doing here?" It almost a whisper.

"To see you." He said before turning his gaze to Zede

"Binalaan kita" tila nagtitimpi na wika niya sa pinsan

What's going on?

The idea that vander is here to see me makes my heart and mind gone to oblivion.

"I don't belong in any pack , you're not my alpha so cut the bullshit Vanny, Hindi ako susunod sa utos mo."

Zede smirk. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng hapit ni Vander sakin.

He's raging mad again. His eyes shifted to dark yellow green and I can hear a growl.

No! May mga tao sa paligid!

Then I did the most necessary thing, hinaplos ko ang dibdib niya, hinagod iyon taas baba.

I could feel the heat of his chest despite the thin fabric barrier.

"Please... Calm down, huwag kayong mag away dito please??" He looked at me shocked obviously.

"Please?" Taas baba parin ang dibdib niya kaya patuloy ko iyong hinaplos, I noticed him relaxed. Unti unti ding bumalik sa normal ang kanyang mga mata.

He sigh exasperatingly..

"How could you do that?"

Tila pagod niyang wika at hinawakan ang kamay ko na Nasa dibdib niya

"Only ate Cassandra can do it" napalingon ako sa itaas ng puno kung saan nanggaling ang tinig,

"Salva!" There she is! Sa isang sanga naka upo.

"Laura? Draco?" Naglalakad naman sila palapit galing sa isang bench.

And ... No.

Ngayon lang nag sink in sakin, lahat ng tao sa garden they all look familiar ! Nakikita ko sila noon sa bayan! Some of them are Laurent's!

"What's going on?" Nanatili silang nakatingin sa akin.

"Zede?"

Nakasandig siya sa puno at pinagmamasdan ang buwan.

"There's a predicted blood bath tonight, we're here to stop it."

Blood bath?

And what? Kung ganun Hindi pala nandito si vander para makita ako?

Wow. Just wow! Am I hurting again?

"Bravo ! Everyone is here!"

Nakarinig ako ng mahinang palakpak.

Pero mabilis akong Hinila ni Vander sa likod niya, the next thing I knew everyone is in front of me,

Alerto na naka pormang susugod sina Zede at iba pang nasa harap na tila prinoprotektahan ako. Nasa gilid ko si salva na binigyan ako ng tipid na ngiti.

In front line Draco is there , Vince too and the rest of people wandering awhile ago in the garden , mahigit silang walo.

"What's going on?"

Humigpit lang ang kapit sa akin ni Van.

I saw Laura stand beside vander.

Hindi ko lubos maipaliwanag ang naramdaman ko ng hinawakan ni Vander ang kamay ni laura at pinisil iyon.

"What a surprise.."

Narinig Kong wika ng lalake sa harap. I can not see him dahil natatakpan ako ni vander

"I can smell human over there!"

"Stay put." Mahinang wika niya sakin ng sinubukan Kong tignan ang nagsasalita

"What do you want Pablo?" It sounded like a growl.

Hindi ko alam but I sense danger...

"Van.."

"Wala lang naman alpha , I just want to visit the town and join the grand party tonight .. Napadaan lang kumbaga.."

I can sense his smirk while talking.. Sino ba siya?

"Mahigit sampung tao ang namatay at nawawala dahil sayo.. Or shall I say kayo?" Sarcastic na wika ni Draco

"At sasabihin mong napadaan lang kayo? Funny"

"We need to feed ourselves while staying here diba? Tama naman ako right my little sister Laura ? Oh you're there , come.. Come and give your big bro a hug.."

Napalingon ako Kay Laura na tiim bagang na nakatingin sa harap

Magkapatid sila?

"Go away now Pablo. We have a truce. Walang papasok na bampira sa anomang lugar na pinamumunuan ng mga lobo. You know that "

She's deadly calm but I can clearly see fear in her eyes.

"I just Want to see you again, so kailangan Kong gumawa ng ingay para mapalabas ka. Are those dogs treating you right sister?"

I heard a mad growls from vander and his pack .

Oh shit...

"Shut up! Just go away! "

"No.. Hindi lang naman ikaw ang pinunta ko rito.."

I dont know and cant see what's happening , mabilis na nagpalit ng anyo ang iba sa mga kasama ni vander and others stayed in human form but remain ready to fight

I can hear groans and growls, malakas akong napasinghap ng may mabilis na pwersa ang humila aa buhok ko palayo sa bisig ni vander and I felt the cold air envelop my body.

"Cassandra!"

Ng magmulat ako ng mata ay mga puno at madilim na langit ang aking nakikita.

"What the!!"

Nilingon ko ang aking ibaba, at nakitang naroon silang lahat. Nasa itaas ako ng puno at naramdaman ko ang kirot sa aking ulo.

There's someone standing behind me holding my hair tightly , nakatayo kami sa isang sanga at mabilis Kong nararamdaman ang dagundong ng dibdib ko.

Oh no... No.. Please..

I am near to hysteria!

"Cassandra!!"

I can see terror in vander's eyes.

Everyone is in fear down there.

"Cassandra Novalez... "

Bulong ng lalake sa tenga ko , it sound both sexy and dangerous..

"Look at them... They look.. Scared puppies "

humalakhak pa siya ng nakakainsulto. Lalong humihigpit ang hawak sa aking buhok.

"What do you want?" I remained tough , sounding bravely.

"You. I want you, don't you really know who you are?"

His whisper brought shiver within me.

"A..anong ibig mong sabihin?"

"Aww.. My brave and tough Cassandra is clueless."

"Bitawan mo siya!"

Its both a plea and command.

Vander is in his half wolf half human form like an animagus. His glistening yellow green eyes shining with the moonlight.

"Do you still love him?"

He whispers again.

"He doesn't like you really, you see its Laura he cares more than you. And its always been Agatha. "

Nasasaktan man , pilit Kong kinalma ang sarili he's trying to push me to ebb, triggering my emotions ..

"Wala kang alam.."

"Oh! Cassandra I know everything!"

He laughed maniacally

"Unlike Laura, mas marami akong nalalaman."

I felt goosebumps when he lick my ear.

"Taste sweet. Just like my little sister.."

Fuck! What's he's talking about?

"Dont you f*****g touch her you moron!"

Malakas na sigaw ni Vander , the next thing I knew the trunk snap,

Malakas na pwersang ibinato ako ng lalake , I saw the ground coming near my face

Bago ako tumama sa lupa sinalo ako ng malambot at mainit na bagay , mabalahibo...

"Salva..."

She is in her werewolf form, ng tinignan ko ang paligid may apat na bampirang nakikipag laban sa mga lobo ,

I couldn't find vander!

No laura too...

Naramdaman ko ang pagkilos ni Salva at patakbong lumalayo sa lugar.

"Where are we going! Bakit iiwan natin sila!?"

Oh no! Si kuya! Si Daddy!

"Let's go back! Ang pamilya ko salva!"

She's not listening , we're Running within the woods, nakikita ko ang highway sa mga punong nadadaanan namin and there's someone running in fast pace with us damn it!

Its a vampire!

"You can't runaway again b***h! A decade is enough!"

He shouted .

What? Anong sinasabi niya? Is she referring to me? Or salva?

Please... Run faster .. Kumapit ako sa balahibo niya ng mas bumilis pa ang takbo niya ...

Damn it damn it!

Nakikita ko na ang dulo...

Malapit na.. Malapit na...

Faster salva...

"Surprise!!" Biglang tumalon sa harap ang lalake , a long haired one. Red eyed and broad manly body. He look terribly pale white!

Napatigil si Salva, the momentum cause me to fall in the ground.

Damn it! Naramdaman ko ang kirot sa katawan.

Napatawa ang bampira.

"Need help princess? Ow... Tignan no nga naman, ang prince charming mo, inuna pang iligtas ang pinsan Kong si Laura. Sweet bastard is he?"

Ngumisi siya at humakbang.

Its.. Pain.. I could feel pain again.. No, iba ngayon.

I can feel both anger ... Extreme anger , and extreme sadness..

Nag iinit ang katawan ko..

Oh please... Help!

Vander...

ang prince charming mo, inuna pang iligtas ang pinsan Kong si Laura. Sweet bastard is he?"

Please! Stop! Stop!

I can hear my pounding heart...

I can't breath..

"Ate.. What's happening?"

Salva is beside me in human form already.

Something inside me wants to snap.

I can feel the turmoil inside.

ang prince charming mo, inuna pang iligtas ang pinsan Kong si Laura. Sweet bastard is he?

Where are you vander?

"Let it go princess .."

He smiled sweetly. Devilishly.

And I felt it.

Something snap.

I let it go, just like he said...
