ARE you her?
Fuck!
I must be crazy to ask her that.
But can you blame me, man?
The first time I saw her, I thought it was her. I mean the woman in red ballgown that I've met at the mating season ball.
When I held her almost lifeless body after Ashter hurt and shot her in RavenStone upperground, the familiar warmth, I felt it the moment that I touched her.
And her scent...
It was the same fruity sweet scent that I remembered the mysterious woman from the ball possessed.
And I was seventy-five percent sure that it was her I was searching for.
And come to think of it.
Trigger seemed very comfortable and enjoying every minute being with her. Kaya nga hanggang ngayon, hindi pa ako nagrereport kay Zacky ay dahil gusto ko itong pagbigyan.
Also, I was waiting for the right time to ask that feisty Omega so many questions at upang ikumpirma ang aking hinala.
Until Lewis called five minutes ago, habang tinatanong ko na ang dalaga.
The Delta reported na palihim nitong pinasok ang bahay ng babaeng sinusundan nito and found a Red BallGown inside of her closet.
I ordered him to bring that woman immidiately to me, but he said na nakaalis raw ito patungo sa isa pang karatig bayan ng DarkStone upang bisitahin ang isang malapit na kamag-anak at sa isang linggo pa ang balik.
"I'm sorry bro but I guess, we have to wait for another seven days."
The hell!
Frustrated na napabuga ako ng hangin nang maalala ang winika nito bago ko putulin ang aming pag-uusap.
Another week to wait!
Another week of pure torture!
I shook my head and from the frontyard of my two-story victorian house, I decided to head back into the room that I had left earlier.
Bumalik ang aking atensyon sa Omega na nasa aking pamamahay at napuno ng pagkalito ang aking isipan.
If Lewis is so certain na ang babaeng sinusubaybayan nito ang aking hinahanap, then why does my wolf seems restless?
Damn it!
Now that's really confusing!
_______
Two minutes later...
I growled and kicked the wall as I found out that Ms.Bitch was missing.
I searched the whole house but failed.
Ngunit ilang saglit pa, ang pagkalito na aking nararamdaman ay napalitan ng matinding pag-aalala at irita nang mapansin ko ang nakabukas na bintana ng silid na pinag-iwanan ko rito.
I automatically walked towards the window and sniffed the air.
Her fruity sweet scent hit my nose that made me grumbled in annoyance...
"That handful woman."
Did she just f*****g escape from me?
______
KATRINA'S POV...
HINDI ako baliw para manatili sa bahay ni Magnum Sasha.
That idiot Beta.
Tanungin ba ako ng 'Are you.. her!'
I groaned.
Ofcoarse I am her!
I knew what he really meant by that stupid question. He was talking about the night of the Mating Season Ball.
Nang gabi na may nangyari sa pagitan amin. We were both drunk then, when it all happened.
Pero hellor naman, seriously, hindi ba talaga ako nito namukhaan!
He wear off my mask at naaalala ko pa ang sinabi nitong... ' You're the most fairiest of them all!"
Fairiest my ass!
Kaya pala wala itong kaide-idea na ako ang babaeng naka-red ball gown na isinayaw nito at halos hindi na pinakawalan pa ng gabing iyon.
Ang unggoy!
From leaning against the old pine-tree na nasa loob ng kagubatang aking sinuong ay napaungol ako.
Haist...
But then, on the other hand, wala din naman akong plano na ipaalam at umamin sa lalake tungkol sa bagay na iyon.
Cause duh!
Magnum Sasha is Zarcia Reid's Beta.
Meaning kapag nagtagal pa ako sa poder nito, hindi maiiwasang magkita kami ni Lucy.
Shucks!
Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng nakakainis na babaeng iyon oras na muli kaming magkaharap?
Tiyak na pagtatawanan ako nito at marahil maghihiganti din ang lola n'yo sa lahat ng pang-aaping ginawa namin ng aking mom noon dito.
Ugh!
I can't let that thing happen...
Naranasan ko nang apihin minsan at ayaw ko nang maulit pa yun.
Before Lucy finds out na narito na akong muli sa DarkStone, I might as well start running.
Running away from here and from her and from all the embarassment na mararamdaman ko sa oras na malaman ni Magnum Sasha ang kasamaang ginawa ko sa Luna ng teritoryong iyon noon.
I grabbed my chest and bit my lips as I felt a sudden pang of pain in my heart. Then images of the handsome second-in command flashed through my mind.
"STOP!" sita ko agad sa aking sarili.
Hindi ito ang oras upang isipin ko ang ungas na iyon.
I don't want him!
And I don't like him!
That Magnum Sasha, hindi ako maaaring magkaroon kahit na kaunting damdamin para dito iniligtas man ako ng binata at inalagaan.
He even bought me out from the BlackMarket but I couldn't stay any longer para bayaran ito sa mga nagawa nitong kabutihan para sa akin.
I took a deep breath and shrugged his images away from my sane mind.
Inipon ko ang aking lakas saka inayos ang aking suot na pair of pajamas saka nagdesisyon nang kumilos ngunit hindi pa man ako nakahahakbang ay bigla akong napahinto.
Dahil iyon sa dalawang hindi kilalang lalake na biglang lumabas buhat sa likod ng mga matataas na damo na nasa aking unahan at humarang sa aking daraanan.
"Kumusta, binibini? Naliligaw ka yata!" nakangising bati ng isa na automatikong ikina-atras ko.
"Tamang tama, naliligaw din kami, Ms.Beautiful. Mabuti pa sumama ka na lang sa amin!"
Naghagalpakan ng tawa ng mga ito na aking ikinangiwi.
They reeked of alcohol and I could easily tell na nakakainom ang mga kumag.
I cursed at the back of my head.
Shit.
And who the hell are these morons!
I tried to talk upang balaan ang dalawang chakang palaka sa aking harapan ngunit walang boses ang lumabas buhat sa aking bibig.
Heck!
Nasa temporary voice paralysis condition nga pala ako.
The two crackheads paced forward that made me took steps backward.
"Huwag kang suplada miss. Wala ka rin namang ibang mahihingan ng tulong dito."
I growled at them. Ngunit lalo lang lumakas ang halakhak ng mga ito.
Then suddenly, their eyes turned to slits and settled on me maliciously.
I gulped. Napuno ng kaba at takot ang aking dibdib.
Just my damn luck.
They will harm me, right!
Another step backwards, and my eyes suddenly went wide. Biglang tumalon ang isa sa mga ito patungo sa aking direksyon.
Oh, no!
I tried to run in panic na napapikit mata sa hilakbot ngunit ganoon na lang ang aking pagkagulat nang sa aking pagbaling ay isang matipunong bisig ang bigla na lang yumakap sa nanginginig kong katawan.
I whimpered in surprise.
What the----!
Then the next thing I heard was a loud deafening wolf growl that almost shook the ground.
"Back off, mutts or I'll rip you both into f*****g pieces!"
I gasped and my eyes darted open wide. Tumingala ako sa may-ari ng makapangyarihang boses na iyon at ganoon na lang ang pag-awang ng aking bibig.
Magnum Sasha's angry but still gorgeous face welcomed my vision and that made my wolf Kitten purred like a lovesick cat inside of my head.
I mentally pouted.
Marupok na asong lobo!
