My Moonlight Promise (Completed)

Chapter 3: Too Fast, too late

KANINA pa hindi mapakali si Marlon, para kasing may mali, at hindi pa nakakatulong na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya marinig si Fraize. It was as if he is sleeping in a bottom of a pit, samantalang kanina ay napakaingay nito giving him enough headaches that can last for a month.

          “Will you cut it out Marlon? Nahihilo na ko sa pinanggagawa mo,” reklamo sa kanya ni Jeff, Pareho silang nasa loob lang ng mansyon, this place is owed by Emerson pero silang dalawa ang madalas na gumagamit nito.

          He have this unsettling feeling at hindi siya mapakali kung hahayaan niya ang sarili na umupo lang sa sofa.

          Napapalatak lang si ang kasama niya dahil hindi siya nakinig dito, ppareho sialng napatingin sa cellphone nito na nakalagay sa may lamesita, nang makita nitong si Rina ang tumatawag ay agad nitong sinagot `yon.

          “Nagpapasundo si Rina.”

          “Hindi ba dapat na nakabuntot ka sa isang `yon?” nagtatakang tanong niya.

          “Sa may Majestic Palace lang siya pumunta isa pa nan`don naman si Reese.”

           Sinundan na niya ito nang kunin nang makita niyang hawak na nito ang susi, total naman wala siyang gagawin `don mas mabuti nang samahan na lang niya `to.

          Tahimik lang siya sa buong byahe, nakamasid sa paligid nang may maramdaman siyang hindi maganda. His senses suddenly on alert and suddenly he felt like there is a nagging sensation that eating him up.

          "Jeff, drive faster." aniya.

          "What?"

          "Just f*****g drive faster!" angil niya.

          "Fine, fine. Geez...masyadong mainit ang ulo mo," diniinan nito ang silinyador.  In a less of twenty minutes ay agad nilang natanawan ang Majestic Palace.

Pareho silang napakunot ng kasama nang makita nila ang isang itim na van sa harapan ng restaurant.

His instinct automatically kicks in, he rushed out of the car and saw Rina and a girl that he instantly recognize. Our mate out of nowhere he heard his wolf finally talk.

I know

Kahit na hindi nito sabihin matagal na niyang  alam ang bagay na `yon.  This only confirmed her identity, lalo na at nakita niya ang suot nitong butterfly necklace na ibinigay niya dito noon. That piece of jewelry is unique dahil siya mismo ang gumawa ng design na `yon noong bata siya. His father managed to find someone to create his design at iyon ang iniregalo nila sa kanyang ina noon.

Iyon lang ang tanging bagay na naala niya nang magpasya siyang umalis sa kanila.

Seeing him get abducted in front of him, he felt himself starting to change. Lalo pa at nakita niyang walang malay si Cristine kasama si Rina. 

“Are youout of your mind? Do you want to be seen by mortals?” asik sa kanya ni Jeff.  They bboth know that they can still fight off those kidnappers, but they can’t reveal themselves to mortals.

That’s one of the rules that Ave told them in other to mix with mortals, and they are both out in the open, their hands are already tied    

 “Damn it!” malutong na mura niya habang pinipilit na pigilan si Fraizer. They both saw the back van leave, at wala man lang silang nagawa ng kahit na ano para mapigilan ang mga ito.  

“Don’t be too reckless Marlon alam mong kaya nga natin na magbura ng alaala ng tao pero hindi garantisado na lahat ng makakita sa`yo magpalit ng anyo ay magagawa natin na burahin ang mga alaala.” Mortals are now starting to gather, hahayaan na lang nilang dalawa na si Reese ang magasikaso sa mga ito.

He immediately got on the car bago matigilan saka siya napamura ng malakas. He realizes that the van used a special potion that has the capacity to conceal their whereabouts. So its definitely that this is not just an ordinary kidnapping.

“What’s the matter?” tanong ni Jeff habang hawak nito ang manibela.  

“I can’t track them.”

“Ha?!” kapagkuwan  ay nagkamot na lang ito ng ulo. “We better inform Reese about this,” anito saka sila muling bumaba ng sasakyan.

Pero bago pa sila makapasok ng MP ay naramdaman nilang nagbago ang paligid at ang mga mortal na bigla na nanunuod sa kaguluhan ay bigla na lang natulala, saka bumalik ang mga ito sa kanya-kanya nilang ginagawa.

Nakita nila si Reese na masama ang tingin sa kanila, alanganin silang napaatras at saka napatingin sa isa’t-isa. Mas mabuting bumalik  na sila sa kotse  at magisip ng paraan para malaman kung saan dinala ang sina Rina. Isa pa ang dapat din nilang alalahanin kung paano nga ba nila sasabihin kay Avev ang mga nangyari, sigurado kasing mag-aamok na naman ng isang `yon ng away. Pero sabagay kahit siya gusto na ring magamok, hindi nga lang niya magawa dahil alam niyang wala rin naman siyang magagawa kng gagawin niya `yon.

Narinig niyang tumunog ulit ang cellphone ni Jeff pinindot nito ang isang handfree na head set saka sinagot ang tawag. Sandali itong natigilan bago ibinaba ang teleponno, at isnag malutong na mura ang kumawala sa bibig nito.

          Ayaw na niyang magtanong dahil una sa lahat masyadong nauubos ang lakas niya sa pagpipigil pa lang kay Fraizer na makawala. Wala siyang ideya kung paano nga ba niya ito patitigilin.

          “Problema?” nagtatakang tanong nito dahil ginagawaniya ang lahat para pigilin ang nagpupumiglas na si Fraizer.

          “Don’t ask,” he said between his teeth.

          “Pambihira bakit ba sabay-sabay kayo?”

          Nagtatakang napatingin siya dito.

          “Ave is back,” anito saka napahilot sa sentido. “And we are in a deep shit.”

“WHAT?!” napahawak si Marlon sa tenga niya sa lakas ng sigaw ni  Ave. Blame it on his sensitive hearing, that is somewhat getting more sensitive and he really can’t explain why.

Pero hindi iyon ang dapat nilang pagtuunan ng pansin, kasalukuyang kasama nila si Doc Rey, Kaiser at Jerome na pare-parehong tahimik lang na nakatingin sa kanila.

Tahimik lang niyang tinanggap ang panenermon nito, dahil alam niyang hindi pa rin nila sinubukan ni Jeff na hulihin ang basta na lang kumuha kina Rina. Pero hindi niy amapigilan ang sarili niya na makaramdam ng iritasyon sa tono ng pananalita nito sa kanya. It must be the wolfs blood that is talking and he is fully aware how strong that blood is running through his veins. These past few years Fraizer became so aggressive that anny disrespect from anyone can make him burst into anger.

Being a half-blood is no joke especially when his blood came to two powerful species in the supernatural world.

“What really happened? Are you two idiots that didn’t even know what to do?” mataas ang boses na saad ni Ave.

“Don’t you dare to disrespect me like that!” aniya pero pare-pareho silang natigilan dahil imbes boses niya ay tila hindi siya ang nagsalita. That authoritative voice came from none other that his wolf, eventhough he wants to apologize because of what he had said hhis wofl is not approving his motion. Making him frustrated than he already is.

 “It’s alright Marlon, we both know what a dominant alpha can be,”sabi ni Ave, he gave him a knowing look. “I presume you found making that wolf of  your way more agitated than before.

His silence simply confirmes Ave’s suspicion the later just sighed, bago ito nagpatihulog sa sofa. 

 “You were tamed this past few years due to the reason of the agreement that we had, pero dahil nakita nito na ang hinahanap niyo expect him to unleash his power kaya dapat mong matutunan na ma-kontrol siya.” 

“I already know how to control him, its just that things have been more complicated. When a wolf found its mate all it wants to do is to be with her twenty-f*****g four- seven,” dapat talaga hinayaan na lang niya ang sarili na magibang anyo sa harap ng mga mortal, to hell with the consequences.

Damn right, you idiot.

Will you shut up? Asik niya kay Fraizer.

“Wow, possessive.” Sinamaan lang niya ng tingin si Jeff na agad na itinaas ang dalawang kamay tanda ng pagsuko.

“Children, stop fighting? Hindi ba dapat na ako ang mainit ang ulo dito?”

Jerome scoffed while Doc Ray seems to hold the thin patience that he had, sigurado siyang anumang oras ay magkakagulo ang mga `to kapag hindi pa sila tumigil. It will be a big problem too see Jerome and Ave fight, it been years since the later leae the Philippine to go somewhere they don’t know while Jerome manage to inherit his parents company yet the fact that he still a powerful hybrid is no joke.

 “I already have their location,” sabay-sabay sila sa bagong dating.  

 “That fast? You already got it?” tila diskumpiyado pang tanong ni Jeff.

“Ikaw lang naman kasi ang hindi bilib sa`kin eh,” kinindatan pa ito ni Eden habang nasa tabi nito si Reese.

 “Whatever.”

“Cute mo.”

Lihim siyang natawa, right tell a half blood witch that he is cute when all he needs is to look at you and you can literally turn into ashes.

“Okay, stop flirting. Can’t we just get to the point?” pigil ang inis na sambit ni Ave.  “Can you track where, Rina is?” baling nito kay Ree.

The witch give Ave a piece of paper. “There current location is in Europe at kung hindi ako nagkakamali they were already shipped unconscious.”

He clenched his fist unconsciously trying to render Fraizer before he make havoc to the whole place, while Ave cursed profanities in every language that he know.

Nagpasya siyang bumaba sa basement where a cage is made especially for his raging wolf. Hindi siya sigurado kung kaya pa niya itong pigilan. A berserking Alpha wolf is not what they need right now.

 “Where are your going?” tanong sa kanya ni Jeff.

“In the basement.”

“Anong gagawin mo `ron?” 

“Do you want my wolf to bite off your throat?”

“Okay bye! Good luck with your rendevouz.”

Hindi na niya pinansin pa ito at tinungo ang hagdanan papunta sa kulungan niya.
