TAMED BY SASHA (Filipino)

TWO

"DON'T worry, Beta Sasha. Malapit mo na s'yang makita. Just give me a week or two and I'll bring her to you."

Nai-pikit ko nang mariin ang aking mga mata nang marinig ang report ng aking kausap buhat sa kabilang linya ng hawak kong cellphone.

From seating comfortably at the back of the luxury limo while on my way to RavenStone Pack, I leaned backwards and took a long deep breath.

I released it slowly to control my growling wolf.

"Good job, Lewis. Please bring her to me safely. I can't wait to see her again."

The detective and the Delta of DarkStone teasingly laughed.

"Mukhang intresado ka talaga sa isang iyon a, bro?"

A small smirk appeared from the corner of my mouth.

"You have no idea, man. This is the first time that I feel so f*****g obssessed in a woman and damn! I think I'm going nuts."

At totoo iyon.

Simula ng matapos ang mating season's ball, hindi na nawala pa sa aking isipan ang she-wolf na nakasuot ng red ballgown na s'yang una kong isinayaw ng gabing iyon.

I was too puzzled and beyond curious why after that magical night, she just left without a single word.

I felt disappointed and dismayed.

Hindi ko man lang nalaman ang pangalan nito at ni kaunting impormasyon ay wala man lang akong nakuha mula sa dalaga.

I shook my head.

For the past sixty days, I was bothered by her blurred images.

I was intrigued.

I wanted to know who she really was.

What is her name?

Saan sya nakatira?

How old is she?

Damn it!

I need to know everything about her or I'll totally loose my sanity.

Out of desperation and frustration, I sighed deeply again but a tsk sound suddenly brought me back to my senses.

I snapped at myself.

May kausap nga pala ako.

Muling nag-salita si Lewis sa kabilang linya.

"So our mighty Beta is inlove, huh!"

My forehead knotted as I heard that foreign word.

In-love.

Such a strong word.

But....

Am I?

"Yes you are, fool!" my wolf Trigger barked at me.

I groaned loudly and scratched my nape.

Trigger is f*****g right!

Hindi ako mag-aaksaya ng oras na ipahanap ang babaeng iyon kung wala akong nararamdaman para dito.

I knew it's crazily going to fast cause I only spent one night with her but the moment that I held her in my arms and danced with her, I fell for her automatically.

That beautiful mysterious woman.

Ang she-wolf na may nakatutunaw na ngiti.

Yeah..

I think it was her irrresistable gorgeous smile that bewitched me and I am willing to be bewitched all over again just to see once again.

I closed my eyes as the memories of that wonderful night flashed back into my mind.

My chest tightened as regret filled me.

Dahil sobrang kalasingan ng gabi ng Mating Season Ball, naging malabo ang imaheng iniwan nito sa akin.

But her skin...

Her touch...

Her lips and her kiss...

Walang sino man ang naka-apekto sa aking sistema at sa tahimik kong wolf ng ganoon maliban dito.

And that only meant one thing.

"You're right, Lewis." I opened my eyes. "I fell in love with that woman. So find her immidiately and bring her back to me," tugon at utos ko sa naghihintay na Delta.

"Copy! Vice Mayor Beta Sasha!" with amusement in the third in command's voice, he replied.

I pressed the phone's end button to cut our conversation and contentedly grinned.

I may not remember the woman's beautiful face but I know that I'll be able to recognize her once I see her.

I am also sure that Trigger; my inner-wolf and my heart will tell me if that she-wolf who's Lewis is secretly following is really the one that I've been looking for.

Muling naputol ang aking pag-iisip ng mag-vibrate ang aking cp.

Agad na sinagot ko ang dumating na tawag at isinang-tabi muna ang aking personal issue.

"Positive, Beta Sasha. Ashter Vertillo is here."

Upon hearing that from Smithly Reid, the Gamma of DarkStone who's on the other line, my jaw clenched tight.

Ashter Vertillo.

That bastard!

Kung ganoon, totoo nga pa lang sa RavenStone Pack lang ito nag-lulungga.

"I'm on my way there Smith! Bantayan mo s'yang mabuti!"

Mula ng aminin ni Ms. Jadee Joon kung sino ang nag-utos dito upang i-assassinate ang Alpha Mayor ng DarkStone ay sinundan na namin ang bawat kilos ng hangal na si Ashter Vertillo.

We discovered that he's Mr. Hugo's son and he's as evil and as ruthless as his father.

Ayun sa nakalap naming impormasyon, mukhang may kinalaman din ito sa kaso ng ilang mga pagpatay sa mga aliping Omega kaya naman hindi ko hahayaan makatakas pa ang target sa pagkakataong iyon.

He will pay.

Sa aking mga kamay at sa ilalim ng batas ng DARKSTONE.

******************************

(RAVENSTONE UNDERGROUND.

THE BLACK MARKET)

Katrina's Pov..

"Hurry up, b***h!" sigaw ni Madame X sabay tulak sa akin papasok sa loob ng malahiganteng Show Room kung saan nakalinya ang lahat ng Omega Slaves na ibebenta sa gabing iyon.

I growled at her.

Masakit pa kasi ang likod ko dahil sa natamong mga hampas ng latigo mula rito ngunit mabilis ng nakatalikod ang bruha at lumabas ng silid.

"Witch!" I mumbled and stucked my tongue out as she locked us inside.

I heard my fellow Omegas whimpered as they saw me.

"What! May problema ba kayo sa akin, ha? Palibhasa mga mahihina kayo! Seriously, payag kayong ibenta at habambuhay na maging alipin!" I shook my head in utter disappointment. "So pathetic!"

Walang tumugon sa mga ito sa mga binitiwan kong salita.

Aist!

Mga weakling talaga!

Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin sabay pinag-krus ang aking mga kamay bago bumaling sa labas ng aming hawla na gawa sa salamin ngunit lalo lamang nagusot ang aking mukha nang mapagmasdan ang aking kabuuan nang makita ang aking repleksyon doon.

I was wearing a sexy red dress.

Isang balikat lang ang may strap niyon.

And indeed.

I do look stunning.

But ugh!

Wala na ba talagang ibang damit na puwedeng pagpilian?

Choosy na kung choosy.

But I hate red!

No, I despised it!

Ipina-paalala lang sa akin ng kulay na iyon ang katangahang ginawa ko dalawang buwan na ang nakalilipas.

"Heck!" I cussed.

My life really sucks!

I heard my wolf, Kitten groaned at the back of my mind but I just ignored her.

Sa oras na iyon, wala akong oras para pakinggan pa ang drama ng aking innerwolf.

I flipped my hair and grimaced.

"It's all that ugly madame's fault!" I blamed and cursed the old witch mentally.

Ngunit ng mapansin ko na may ilang guests na sa labas ng showroom ay bigla akong sinalakay ng kaba.

Great!

Magsisimula na ang bentahan.

I gulped and fisted my hand.

Kung ganoon, kailangan ko nang ihanda ang aking sarili. Hindi ako papayag na maging alipin na lang habambuhay!

I took a deep breathed but suddenly frowned as I saw Madame X walked towards the Glass showroom's floor to ceiling window in front of me.

Ina-assist ng bruha ang dalawang matatangkad at 'HOT' na mga lalake na nakasuot ng mga pormal na mga damit.

Lumalim ang pagkakunot-noo ko at nadoble din ang lakas ng pagkabog ng aking dibdib nang tila may maalala.

"Those gorgeous men.."

S..sapalagay ko, kilala ko ang mga ito.

On Madame X's left was a handsome man wearing a three-piece white suit. Makikita sa labas ng kuwelyo ng white coat nito ang isang dragon tattoo at----

Teka nga lang!

Dragon tattoo?

My eyes went wide.

You gotta be shitting me!

Bigla akong nanlamig at napa-atras.

Ang lalakeng iyon.

Hindi ako maaaring magkamali..

He is no other but Ashter Vertillo!

Gumapang ang matinding takot at kilabot sa buo kong katawan.

Hell!

Anong ginagawa nito sa RavenStone Underground?

I bit my lowerlip as I suddenly felt terrified. Ngunit tila bigla akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ng mapabaling ko naman ang lalakeng nasa kanang bahagi ng madame.

My jaw dropped as I recognized him too. Holly crap!

I mentally shook my head and my knees shook.

That gorgeous creature..

It's... him...

Ang s'yang unang naka-sayaw ko sa serenade ng Mating Seasons Ball at ang lalakeng nakasama at pinag-alayan ko ng aking sarili ng gabing iyon.

I groaned in disbelief.

"What the eff is the DarkStone's Beta doing in here!"
