At His Mercy (BxM,R18+)

CHAPTER 6

Peyton

Habang dumaran ang mga araw ay lalo akong nag-aalala. I really need to see my family. Hindi ko alam kung ano na ang kanyang kalagayan at kung ano ang ginagawa ng tatay.

"Penny for your thought?" tanong ni Jaxon na hindi ko man lamang namalayan na nakapasok na pala sa aking silid.

It's been days since I was raped by that Beast. Mabuti na lang at hindi ito ang pumasok sa aking silid.

Umiling ako sa kanya.

"I know that look. May problema ba?" tanong pa niya bago sumandal sa pintuan pagkatapos niya iyon isarado.

Napabuntong-hininga ako.

"My family. I'm worried for them," sagot ko sa kanya. "May sakit ang aking bunsong kapatid at walang trabaho ang tatay due to his old age."

"You don't have to worry. I already helped them but," sagot niya.

"But?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"I told my attorney to tell them that you are dead and gave them enough money for their whole life expenses. And also I took care of your little sister."

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

Did he just say that I'm dead?

"Why did you do that?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Helping them?" patanong na sagot niya.

"No. The words you said that I'm dead."

"Ah that?" natatawang tanong niya. "Of course. Hindi ka na makakabalik sa kanila Peyton. My brother and I owned you. You can never escape from us. That is the least thing I can do for your family. To help them," sabi pa niya bago lumapit sa akin and lifted my chin upang magtama ang aming mga mata.

Nag-iwas ako ng paningin sa kanya.

He's too close to me and it makes me nervous.

Jaxon may like tidying his long curly hair, nakikita ko pa rin sa kanya si Duke at kapag naiisip ko si Duke, naaalala ko na naman ang kalapastanganang ginawa niya sa akin.

Jaxon probably got the hint and he just smiled at me. A kind of smile that somehow melts my worries.

"I'm not like Duke," sabi pa niya. "I know how to respect and treasure someone so rest assured. I will never do what he did to you," sagot niya before kissing me on my head.

"Why are you doing this?" tanong ko sa kanya. "Why do you have to share me with your twin brother?" tanong ko pa.

Ngumiti siya sa akin.

"Duke and I have shared everything since. You can say that it's just the two of us against the world when the world turned its back on us. That's how we are. We share everything. But don't worry. Duke may be a bad boy, he's a good person deep inside. It's just that he has a funny way of showing it," sabi pa niya.

"Huh? Good boy you said? He's not! He molested my ass. How can I trust a guy like that to be good? Heck, no!" bulong ko sa aking sarili.

"Are you sure? Because the first time we met, he did this to me," sagot ko sa kanya looking intensely at him.

Tumawa siya.

"Well, it's my fault," sabi niya. "Hindi ko sinabi na nakuha ka na ni Alex. He was sleeping when I left. But yeah hindi lang sanay si Duke na nakakakita ng effeminate boy dito sa mansion. Maybe he thought that you were the gamma that he requested that night," sabi pa niya.

"What? A gamma?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Well, uhm Duke was in rut when he touched you," sagot niya. "So I hope you don't wronged him. Hindi lang dumating sa takdang oras ang gamma na pinatawag niya plus at napagkamalan ka niya," mahabang paliwanag niya.

Napagkamalan? Jusko alam niya na ako ang omegang binili ninyo! Hoy!

Hindi na ako nagsalita. Halata kasing ini-insist ni Jaxon na mabuting tao si Duke. Sorry siya dahil Ekis na sa akin si Duke, rut or not in rut.

"Tell me, are you done with your rut?" tanong ko sa kanya upang maiba naman ang usapan namin.

"Why do you wanna know?" amused na tanong niya sa akin winking at me bago nag-cross arm sa kanyang dibdib.

Nagbawi ako ng paningin sa kanya. I feel like the heat rushed on my face and probably I'm blushing.

"I'm just curious," sagot ko sa kanya na nahihiya.

"You'll know when I'm in my rut," sabi pa niya na patawa-tawa.

Ako naman ay natahimik na. Why the hell did I ask him that sa dinarami-dami ng mga tanong na pwede kong tinanong.

Ugh.

"Usually I spend my rut inside my room alone," sagot niya.

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"Alone?" takang tanong ko.

"Yeah alone. Doing some paperwork for the mafia," sagot niya.

Huh? Walang ano? Walang uhm..

"s*x?" aniya. "Na, I don't do that," sabi pa niya na parang alam niya kung ano ang nasa isip ko which made my blush deeper.

"Hindi ka nahirapan? I mean you're an Alpha, an Elite to be exact. Aren't they more aggressive than dominants?" curious kong tanong.

"Yeah we are. But I can control myself. There's a lot of ways to relieve myself," sabi pa niya.

Tumikhim muna ako. The conversation is getting awkward.

"Ah, I see," sagot ko sa kanya sabay pagbawi ng tingin mula sa kanya.

"I do fapping," sabi niya.

"Omg! You don't have to tell me how you do it," sabi ko sa kanya na kunwari ay hindi interesado sa sinasabi niya.

"That was before. But now? I'm not sure since-"

"Sorry for intrusion, Sir Jaxon but something needs your attention outside," biglang sabi ni Alex na siyang dahilan kung bakit hindi natuloy ni Jaxon ang sasabihin.

"I'll see you later, Peyton," paalam niya sa akin bago nagpatiunang lumabas kasunod si Alex

Omg!

Muntik-muntikan ko ng marinig ang bahaging "SINCE YOU ARE HERE AND I'M GOING TO USE YOU LIKE DUKE DID".

Juscolord!

Huwag naman sana! I mean yeah crush ko na yata si Jaxon kasi gentleman na at may manners pa hindi katulad ni Duke. Napangiti na lang ako sa aking sarili. Like what the hell? Crush ko na yata si Jaxon. I mean kasi noong unang meet namin, he treated me kindly hindi katulad ni Duke, ugh.. maniac! s*x craver! Molester! Beast! Monster and Asswrecker!

Muli akong nahiga sa aking higaan na parang wala sa sarili. I keep on smiling every time I think about Jaxon. Yeah. I never met an alpha or see one in my eighteen years of existence in this world until now. Sa isla kasi na pinanggalingan konay halos gammas at iilang beta lang na nakatira doon. I never expected that such an extremely good-looking man would exist. And he is an Elite alpha to top that. Plus he is the top in a gender chain higher than dominants. And yet omg!

Napatalukbong ako ng kumot at parang tangang pangiti-ngiti at kinikilig-kilig. Jaxon is a real deal hunk!

"Knock, knock. Dinner's ready," narinig kong may nagsalita pagkatapos bumukas ang pintuan.

Inalis ko ang pagkakatalukbong ng kumot at saka tinignan kung sino iyon.

Isang lalaki na marahil ay kasing tangkad at kasing edad ko lang ang pumasok tulak-tulak ang trolley na may lamang pagkain.

"Hi Peyton," nakangiting bati niya sa akin. "I'm Jester, Duke and Jaxon's youngest brother and I am beta," sabi niya habang pine-prepare ang plato na gagamitin ko.

Akmang kukunin ko na sana ito ngunit pinigilan niya ako.

"It's okay. Let me do this. You're my brother's mate so let me serve you," sabi niya na nakangiti pa.

Habang kumakain ako ay naaasiwa ako sa kakatitig niya sa akin. Nahalata niya siguro ito kung kaya siya ngumiti sa akin at nagsimulang magsalita.

"You are so beautiful," komento niya sa akin na mas lalong nagpa-asiwa sa akin.

I mean yeah I'm beautiful and I know it. Charr lang. Pero nahihiya akong sabihan ng ganun.

"Sorry, I know na naaasiwa ka. It's just that big brother Jaxon told me that you are already here so I got excited and hurried to come home. To be honest, I want to see you so bad and befriend you," sabi niya.

Tumititig ako sa kanya. Mukha namang mabait si Jester at hindi sila magkamukha ni Duke.

"Sorry. Nagiging defensive ako. I thought tha-"

"No no no. I'm not like big bro Duke," sagot niya na alam na marahil nito ang aking sasabihin. " I heard what he did you and I'm truly sorry for what he did," hinging paumanhin niya. "That big bro is in his rut so he attacks you just like that. But believe me, mabuting tao ang kuya," sabi pa niya.

Napatitig ako sa kanya. Well, sorry. It's not fair to attack someone simply because you were in a rut or something. Dangal ko ang kinuha niya.

"Anyway, do you want to go out with me?" tanong niya.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. Maybe pwede nga kaming maging magkaibigan.

"I want to but I don't want to see Duke," sagot ko sa kanya.

"Oh don't worry. Big bro Duke usually sleeps during the day. He has idiopathic insomnia which makes him can't sleep at night. You'll see Jaxon instead," sagot pa niya winking at me.

Bigla akong nag-blush sa sinabi niya. Am I that obvious?

Napatawa si Jester.

"Am I that obvious?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"I heard you giggling right after big bro Jaxon left your room," sagot niya sa akin.

Napakagat ako ng labi. Ganoon ba kalakas ng boses ko? Omg!

"You like him, right?" tanong niya pero para sa akin, I feel that he knew it already.

I noded at him and then smile shyfully.

"Aw.. so cute. Don't worry he likes you too. Lagi nya nga ikaw nababanggit when I am still abroad," sabi pa niya sa akin.

"Eh? He did?" tanong kong gulat na gulat. "Dalawang bese pa lang yata kami nag-uusap simula noong dumating ako dito," sagot ko sa kanya.

"He always had his eyes on you kahit bihira kayong mag-usap. He always watch you."

Nakapagpalagayan kami ng loob ni Jester that same day. Madaldal ito at palakwento. Ayon sa kanya ang lumaki siya sa piling nina Duke at Jaxon. While spoiled siya kay Jaxon. Istrikto at disiplinado siya kay Duke. Ever since his parents died, and half-brothers niya ang nakapiling at nagpalaki sa kanya. According to him, if it wasn't for Duke, hindi daw nila alam kung saan na sila pupulutin. The house of Castel only welcome female alphas and their grandma doesn't want to do with them. After their father's death, si Duke na raw ang nagtake over sa grupo na binuo ng kanilang ama. Duke was the one who turn that group into nowadays most feared and the biggest mafia in the world. Natural lang daw kay Duke ang magkaroon ng aura na nakakatakot. He said Duke killed a lot of people that opposed the group. Hindi naman daw basta pumapatay ng tao si Duke ng basta-basta lang. He killed those traitors who went against him. And he doesn't trust anyone that easily. Contrast to Jaxon, as he said. Hindi ito mainitin ang ulo. In fact, he is always the one who controls Duke when he loses his temper. Siya ang consignlier ng grupo. Siya rin ang humaharap at nakikipag-negotiate sa mga affiliated. He is more on The talking and Duke is more on killing.

"Pero kung makikilala mo ng lubusan si Duke, you'll know that he is a good guy sa kabila ng maangas niyang mukha," sabi pa niya.

"Uhm owwkay," sabi ko sa kanya. I'm not really interested to hear more on Duke.

"You really like Jaxon huh?" sabi niya.

"Yes," nakangiting sagot ko. "He's ugh I don't know. It's just that well, basta I like him. Ewan ko ba. Hindi ko ma-explain," sagot ko sa kanya.

"I'm sure you're aware that both of my big brothers share whatever they have?" tanong niya .

Tumango ako sa kanya.

"So you probably know that even if you like Jaxon, there will be an instant that he will share you with Duke. Did he mention that to you?"

Tumango ako.

"Yeah he did. But I don't know. It's just that..ugh."
