The Demi-Goddess of the Alpha

He laughed. "Don't, I'm sick. You can touch me when I am all better. My performance on bed is not that good this time. I am more than willing to let you r**e me as long as I won't infect you." He was laughing still, but weakly.

I frowned but shame attacked me. My cheeks flushed with what he said. r**e? Bed? Performance? What is he thinking?

He's sick but a p*****t still.

"I just saw the scar on your chest. Where did you get that? I don't remember you had an accident," I muttered. We've known each other since childhood days. Even though he is one, difficult child and we hardly talk, we are still together.

"I don't know. Mom said, I was on an accident before. Maybe you don't remember... you were still a kid," he mumbled, making me nod multiple times.

That makes sense. It's been so long.

I took the towel and placed it on his forehead. He has a well-toned body. His bulky figure and ripped muscles and abs are prominent. This is my type of guy... Grant is my type of guy.

"It tickles," he said and then chuckled. I pouted a little but heed his words no attention as I continued what I'm doing.

"Rest here. I'll make you soup and eat it, then drink some medicine after. I'll call Tita to inform her you're sick," I said. He nodded while his eyes are still closed, probably so weak.

I hurried to the kitchen and cooked the soup. Good thing they have a lot of ingredients in their refrigerator. While I was cooking, the phone rang. I answered it, not looking at the caller's id.

"Sis, do you know what time's it? Mom is freaking out! The groceries! And what did you do to my Triton that he's not yet home? Where are you two?!" my sibling shouted on the other line, making me grimace. Such a loud voice!

"I don't know where Triton is but he said earlier he's going home. I'm here at Grant's... He's sick and his mom's not home so I'll help him. The groceries are here too," I explained and poured the milk on the pan.

"Waaah! OMG! Kuya Grant's house? Mom, sister's at kuya Grant's house!" the kid shouted again, making me shook my head as I ended the call and proceeded with the soup.

The doorbell rang, making me glanced in the direction. I thought it was Tita, but it turned out to be Triton so my forehead immediately crumpled as my brows raised. What is he doing here

How did he know I'm here? How did he know Grant's house?

"What are you doing here? Did you know mom scold me because of you? I thought you're going home? What are you—" My eyes widen when he drew the distance closer as he pulled me to him into a tight embrace.

I was so shocked. I couldn't move. I don't even know what to do. I don't

know why but, it feels so comfortable. My brows furrowed. Since when did I like him hugging me? As far as I know, I hate this guy.

I pressed my hands on his chest to push him away but he hugged me tighter this time. My body pressed on his more while his hands are on my waist.

"D-Did he kiss you? Tell me," he demanded making me shook my head. I feel like I can't breathe. I can even smell his manly scent. It was addicting, okay stop. Nonsense.

"What do you mean did he kiss you? Sino bang tinutukoy mo?" I asked him.

He rested his face on my shoulder. I gasped because of that. It feels, good.

"Grant. Did he kiss you? Tell me. Did he f*cking touch you? Because if he did, I will f*cking kill him and beat him 'til he die." My eyes widen and I tried to pull away again but he didn't let me. No one did this on me, even Grant!

What the hell is he saying too? Perhaps, is he jealous? I shook my head and chuckled. No way, why would he be?

"Why are you chuckling, huh? Do you like seeing me this frustrated?

That guy is pissing me. I haven't kissed you and he said he'll do. No way!" he threatened so I kick him in the legs. He let me go immediately while I can see the pain in his eyes. I suddenly felt guilty.

Well, he deserves it for being asshole.

"What are you even saying? Go home. Grant is sick. I need to take care of him," I said.

"You didn't answer my questions. Did he touch you? Did he kiss you?" he asked. I shook my head and he smiled suddenly.

"That's good. Because you, are my property. Did you get that? You, Yveon Sid Valtar is mine." He even winked at me. I don't know why but my heart is beating so damn fast. What the hell? When did this guy had such effect on me? I f*cking hate this feeling. I should only be feeling this to Grant.

"I-I'm not your... p-property." I am even stuttering. What the hell, Sid? What the hell. Since when, huh? You hate this guy! Why are you being like this now?

I don't know! I don't even know why.

I shook my head, pushed him away and closed the door straight on his face. He knocked repeatedly from outside.

"Hey! Yveon! Let me in! What are you doing? Hey! I said let me in! I won't stop this, I swear!" he shouted. I went back to the kitchen and prepared Grant's food, especially his meds.

I did not bother myself with Triton outside and walked towards Grant's room. I placed them on the bedside table and sat on the bed, just in front of him.

The aircon is in full blast but he is sweating so much so I wiped him dry as I brushed his hair gently.

Can we talk? Why don't you pay attention? Talk to me, Sid. Do you know that these past few days I have been really down because I can't talk to you, you know I love you so much. Look, my eyes are swollen. I cried because you didn't kiss me—” I turned my death glared to Sarah on what she was saying. She pouted and sat down next to me.

I knew in myself that Sarah knew something but she didn’t say. I will not force him but if there is, he would have told me. If not, why not? What is the reason? I guess, I'll just watch.

“But, Sarah—” I was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. She looked at it at the same time, took it and she signaled to me that she would just answer, I nodded to her response. She left and went to a nearby tree.

Soon after, she pocketed her phone and frowned when she come closer with me and sat down in front of me, “Who is it?” I asked her.

She sighed, “It's Grant, he said he wants to talk to you. Talk to you on the rooftop later,” she said so I immediately nodded.

It's been weeks since Grant came in, actually, it’s almost a month. What could have happened to that man?

“What do you think happened to Grant? He hasn't been in for weeks, it's been four weeks, it's been almost a month. Is that okay with your childhood?” Sarah asked me so I immediately thought and shrugged.

“I don't know either. It's okay and we'll talk later, I'll just ask him. I'll tell you what we’re talking about.”

“What exact time are we talking?”

She shrugged, “Just what he said later. Do you want to go there to wait? We don't have any subjects next,” she said so I immediately nodded and put away my belongings.

“I'll just wait there. I'm also worried about him. I'll be right ahead,” I said and patted her shoulder. She nodded and smiled at me, I immediately ran rushing towards the rooftop. When I got up I was immediately taken aback. It's really hard when there is no elevator.

I put my bag and books on the floor and sat down. Grant isn’t yet there. I just looked at the students below— walking, talking and laughing.

“Sid.” I looked up to hear the familiar voice. And what I'm seeing right now, makes my eyes wide. What the f**k?

“What happened to you, Grant? Your hair, did you dye your hair to red? When? Then, why is it so long? Is that really you?” I asked and come closer to him.

He laughed while smirking. “No. This hair color is mine and the length was natural.” He chuckling.

I was shaken, it was fooling me. Natural?

“When did your hair color turns red? We've been together since we were kids so what do you say your red hair color is natural? Besides, look at that, it's very long… When did you become a woman?” I asked him.

He frowned at me. “ I told you, it's really natural. This length, it's only natural for creatures like me,” he said and I was about to hit him when I suddenly coughed.

“Are you alright?” he asked so I immediately nodded and it’s quickly lost my cough.

I looked at him and examine him from head to toe. His hair turned into red and it reached up to the shoulders, it was tied to a ponytail and a cloth was wrapped around his forehead. What he was wearing— was like what the ancient people were wearing. Like princes in the show.

“Are you a cosplayer?” I asked him. He grinned and laughed at the same time pushing my forehead with his two fingers so I immediately jokingly kicked him in the arm.

“Oh, it looks like your muscles have also grown. What have you done these past few days and you seem to have been busy? You can't go to school, your grades dropped,” I said that he was laughed.

“One week ago, we passed a form in our school,” he said so my eyes started to get widened.

“One week ago? It’s a long time, then you didn't even tell me? Hey, you’re my friend! You should tell me!” I said and at the same time, I punched him. My eyes widened again when suddenly rend the bracelet in my hand and it’s hung it on his clothes. My eyes gotten shocked when I looked at it on the floor, I immediately picked it up and looked at Grant.

This bracelet was gifted by Grant. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—” I stopped as he laughed softly.

“All right, give me back that bracelet,” he took it from my hand and hid it in his clothes.

“Let's eat, I'm hungry,” he said so I immediately raised my eyebrow.

“Are we going to eat outside? While you're wearing that? Are you crazy? I'm pretty sure, they look at you. You can see what you're wearing, your long red hair is look like a chicken,” I said so he started frowned. My eyes widened when I saw a knife behind on him.

“Wait, is that a sword? A real sword? Wow, I just saw something like that,” I said and tried to touch it but Grant quickly tapped my hand but there was still a small wound. Is that sword so sharp?

“Look at what you did. You really are, give your hand to me,” he took my hand and covered his hand. I was closed by a little light that came out of it, after that— it’s disappeared therefore I immediately looked at Grant and my hand.

He slowly removed his hand and that's how my eyes widened at what I saw. My wound was gone and my blood fade away. How did that happen?

I swallowed, looked at him, back in my hand and at the same time looking at him again. I can't believe what happened. I was so startled.

“Am I dreaming? That's right, this is a dream.” I pinched myself but it hurt so much that I also frowned. Gradually I sat down on the floor, Grant held me to support me.

“You alright?” he asked so I was immediately shaken.

“What's going on?” I asked. He sat in front of me, not like he used to be able to still sit— now he's sitting properly. It's like sitting on what I watch on TV.

He scratched his neck so hard that he would have a hard time saying, “Can we eat first? While we are eating, I will explained to you. I missed the food here, because it is full of fruits and vegetables,” he said as he helped me to stand up.

I frowned. “There? Where is it? Where are you from? Does Tita know that?” I asked him.

He smiled and nodded, “Yeah, she knew. Come on, let's eat first,” he said and walked down the stairs first. I could do nothing but slap my face, and when I felt the pain— I shook, looked at my hand and walked as well.

“Wait, wait for me!” I shouted but it seemed to hear nothing and just kept walking.

“How are you these past few days? Are you okay?” I asked him as we walked. It's impossible for every student to look at us. They’re whispering and the others are still laughing.

“It's okay, but I still can't believe it. Do you know I'm a prince in that world? But I'm not an official prince yet, because I still need to know something. I still need to prove something,” he said so I was even more confused.

My eyebrows met and my forehead furrowed. “In the world? Wait, is this a hidden camera prank,” I said, reason for it to push my forehead with his two fingers and laughed at the same time so I frowned

“Let's talk later while we eat for the better. Let's go,” he said once dragging me into a tricycle. The driver even stared at him because of what he was wearing as well as his hair. Old man’s still a fan boy.

When we arrived at a nearby restaurant we immediately went down and paid. When we entered there, as usual distracted, they were whispering, smiling, someone was laughing, someone was shaking and the worst was someone taking a picture.

“Can I still have a picture, Big Brother? What's your name? Maybe you're a famous cosplayer?” asked a woman who looked like she was still in junior high school. Grant just laughed and handed me the woman's phone to take a photo of them.

After two clicks I gave it to the woman. The woman stared at Grant once again, “Big Brother, are you an actress or a model? You look like someone, Grant Velasquez?” she asked so I immediately looked at Grant, he recognized.

“No, I'm just a cosplayer. All right, my partner and I will go first, because we will eat more,” he once dragging me and sitting at the very end where almost no one was sitting.

“You're wearing too much attention. Are you wearing that everywhere you go?” I asked him.

He nodded. “Yes, it's just like this, it's just a different design. Your level depends on the design and quality of what you're wearing,” he said so my brain became more numb. I don’t understand.

“Big Brother, your hair is beautiful. Can I wear that? Please!” said a girl who was maybe a six years old— it’s white and quite fat. She laid her doll on our table while pulling Grant's hair.

“O-oh. Let go of, baby girl. I-it’s hurts. It’s a natural hair,” he said. The child's eyes widened at the same time.

“Is that really your hair? How long is it? Are you a woman or a man?” she asked so I smiled. Because the child is cute, it seems like I really wanted to say go ahead and tweak that, baby girl.

“Yes, that's true,” Grant said while smiling and winking at the child. He parting his hair very long, which is even more beautiful than my hair.

“Show me,” the girl said while pulling his hair again so I immediately laughed, Grant looked at me and he sharpened his gaze so I looked away.

“That hurts, baby girl,” he said so I was immediately shook my head.

“Wow… that's right. I'll take a picture with you later. I'll just eat. Don't leave until I can take a picture. Thank you, bye,” the girl said while waving with us.

I looked at her doll so I immediately took it, “Baby girl, you left your doll,” I said.

She stopped walking, looked at me and giggled, “I left that so that the Red Big Brother wouldn’t run away,” she said so I immediately looked at Grant, he immediately had a new name. I smiled at the girl, waved it and she sat down in the farthest seat. She have no with-it, it’s companion seemed that her with-it was order a food.

“I was tortured,” Grant said so I was shook my head.

“What is your order? I will order it,” he said so I immediately stood up and shook.

“Don't, it's me. I might be able to discuss it because of what you're wearing.” I said so he immediately smiled and nodded. I just stared at him and went to the counter. I just ordered extra spicy chicken and five cups of rice.

When I got there while holding the tray he immediately accompanied me to pick up the others. When everything was laid out on the table we started eating.

“So, what really happened? Can you tell me from the beginning because I really don't understand anything,” I told him, he nodded and even ate a chicken while eating rice and drinking coke before starting to explain.

“It's like that, I know you won't believe this but please, believe me,” he said that makes me laughs— he also laughed so I was immediately shook my head.

“And then?” I said while eating. I just keep on eating while he just keeps on explaining.

“It's like that, do you remember my wound on my chest?” he asked so I immediately nodded. How many times have I saw that wound.

“I didn't get it when I was little because I was naughty. I got it when there was a war between my Father King and the treacherous Prime Minister whose name… I don’t know, and that is what I am currently investigating,” he said so I gasped.

“Wait, what kind of world are you talking about? Is it beautiful? Does it look like our world too?” I asked him, I was really curious.

He shook his head. “Honestly, the people here in this world are more brutal. There, they’re beautiful, peaceful but there are also corruptions. The food is pure ancient, pure fruits and vegetables, but fresh. Have nothing a vehicles such as cars, jeeps, or trucks,” he said.

"In that case, what do they use for transportation?” I asked him.

“A horses, and another one, we have our own power. We can disappear and move to another place whenever we wanted.”

“Can you do that?” I asked.

He frowned. “That's what I'm still studying,” he said.

“The one on my wound earlier? How did it suddenly disappear when you covered it with your hand? Then, what was that bright thing I saw there?” I asked him.

“Slow down your voice, they might hear you.”

“Gosh, they won't believe it,” I said.

He nodded. “I just found out that I have power. There’s a man who helps me, he trains me for the coming judgment.”

“Judgment?”

“Yes, that’s the day when I will take everything back.”

“What will be taken back?”

“My Father King and my Mother Queen died because of that man. I just really knew who he is, he’s bee ready for me. He will pay for what he did to my family,” he said, I felt his seriousness.

“Do you have a brother?” I asked him.

He looked at me at the same time lowering the cutlery and nodded. “Yes, I have a brother. I was so happy to know he was still alive. He said he was here in your world, and I will look for him when everything’s fine.”

I nodded and laughed a little, “You can tell your world that thought you lived here most of your life,” I said that he shook his head and smiled. We continued our meal while I continued to ask a questions to him and he answered.

“What was the reason that man killed your Father and Mother?” I asked him.

He shrugged, "Because of power. That Minister was greedy, he got up and wanted even higher.” His voice was full of irritation.

“Don't you have a hint of who he is?” I asked again.

He shook his head. “Not yet. Honestly, the person who helped me knew who killed him, he really didn't want to say. What he wanted, I would find myself.”

“Isn't what you do difficult?”

“There's nothing hard about everything, Sid. So, you're good at learning,” he said once again pushing my forehead again with his two fingers causing me to strike him.

"How’s Tita? What did she say?”

“He knows my condition. Since I was a child, he knew I wasn’t his real child. When she woke up, there’s suddenly the child was crying outside their door and when they opened it, they saw me... A baby wrapped in a blanket where it was bleeding, and that's where I got my chest wound.”

“How?”

“There was a war between Father and the Minister. I was touched and had a chest wound. In order to escape and get away from the war, my Father and his trusted right hand decided that I should stay here in the world of people,” he said so I immediately stared.

I didn't know there was such a thing in real life. I only see it on TV, or maybe on w*****d— Seriously, incredible.

“Do you have any questions?” he asked.

“Can you bring me into your world?” I asked, I leaned over— cause of my sudden cough and a bit dizzy.

“You alright?” he asked. I nodded at him and forced myself to focus. Later, it may disappeared.

“Yes, it's okay. Answer my question. I want to get into your world.” I asked him.

“Also, when all is well, I will make sure you are safe. You want me to make you my queen when I regain the throne.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Sure”

“Just a joke, I already have a Triton,” I said, the smile disappeared from his lips and I just looked at what he was eating.

He looked at me with a smiled, “Is that so, it's okay. Let's just eat,” he started eating.

“Will you take back the throne? Why? Who is the current king?”

“I feel that the king has something to do with the war. I am also getting proof, but it isn’t enough. When everything goes well, I will carry out my plans.”

I nodded. “Be careful. Don't lose,” I said and he would nod.

“It's my time to ask.”

“What are you going to ask? Make sure it makes sense, if you… just don't eat,” I said, a reason to make him laugh.

“There is of course.”

“What is it?”

He stopped eating and looked straight at me, “Sid, am I still there or is there someone else?”
