The Undeniable Alpha

CHAPTER 4: The Undeniable Encounter

THALIA'S POV

I really don't want to let go of this show! When I was a child this show inspired me so much that I manage to finish, push myself to get finish this degree!

Now that I am here— being a journalist was not that easy! Especially in paranormal show. Way back when I was a child, paranormal show are the stars— but now, people even barely open the television!

"Thalia, stop banging your head. It will bring you nothing but pain..." Maria told me– a co-worker.

We were supposed to have fun. I mean... I told her earlier that we are here in the bar and we should have fun.

But I cannot help but grieve about it in the middle of the club.

"Won't your savior show up now?" Maria asked me.

I stilled. Right, I have a savior, but... whoever that is– my savior is not showing up!

Whenever something bad is happening to me, that savior is showing up in exact time.

When I was a child, Uncle Georgia is having a hard time paying my hospital bills. Then a savior paid the whole bill– but they didn't get a name.

The next one, I was in high school and I had a problem with one of the student. We are both at fault but my punishment was expulsion. It was an unfair treatment between reach and poor. I was already graduating and I don't want to go in a new school anymore. But again, a savior fix that problem and back me up.

In college, journalism is an expensive course. Uncle Georgia manage to pay for it, not until I was in my last semester. Uncle is in great debt and I was about to work when suddenly, someone offered us a scholarship with allowance! It was too much but I am thankful because I manage to pay the debt of my uncle from my tuition!

Those were the remarkable things that my savior did to me. There were a lot– sometimes, it was unexplainable but convenient so I always let it slide.

But after all the help I received from my savior– I don't know who is the person behind all of it! I don't even have an idea regarding how old she is– or is she even a woman? I don't know!

But what I want to do is to thank that person sincerely for what he have done to me.

Being an orphan is not easy. But because of my loving family and help of my savior– I can say that I live a comfortable life!

Sometimes I get sad because I still remembered my parents– it's sad that I cannot clearly remember them and only knew that... they died in an accident.

"Thalia!" Maria called my attention. "What are you thinking?"

I shook my head, and bang it on the table.

Because of that accident— I didn't remember anything aside from... that dream.

I had a dream where a vampire and a wolf is fighting in front of me. It was so vivid that I always think what happened wasn't just a dream!

Because of that— I always watch TV show called Dark Corner— which talks about supernatural and paranormal contents. I am so fond of it because of a childhood dream. I was always curious and wondering—- is what I dream real? Because of that documentary show about ghosts... It validated my weird dream...

Now that I manage to be part of the Dark Corner, now that I am here— suddenly, they are shutting down already because the program has a low audience already.

Now I will lose this show and also myself! I tried so hard to graduate to join this company and TV show!

And I will not also lose the show— but my whole job! I am just starting yet... this happened.

I hope my savior hears my hardship right now. I hope I can think of an idea that will help me through my career.

But I do not handle the whole network— for petesake, I am just a mere employee!

"My savior cannot help me now..."

And who knows? Maybe the sky just nice to me that's why I am always blessed when things get rough!

I jugged another can beer. But I really don't want to let go of this show.

"Should I suggest to boss a new show?" I suddenly asked Maria.

She had a minute or two before her eyes widened in disbelief.

"No way..."

"I will use that dream to get this job!"

I will make that memory real instead of just a dream! Since our director is finding something fresh and new aside from ghosts– then I will suggest this one!

With or without savior— I will save Dark Corner alone using my own hands!

"Here is your drink, madam."

I was shocked when someone just put a drink on a table.

"I'm sorry... But I didn't ask for anything..."

"Someone order this for you, madam."

I looked at the food in front of me. These are all expensive and yummy.

This always happened. Like I said, this are some example how I felt comfortable in life.

"Sorry, but I don't accept foods–"

"Thalia!" Maria hissed at me. "Come on!"

"Come on, Maria! We are not going to risk our lives for these food. I am so sorry..."

I looked around. I wonder if my savior is here?

I always wanted to see him and thank for everything...

"Please give it back to who told you to bring this... or did you even get the name who gave this?"

"I don't know, Ma'am. I was just asked to deliver..." the waiter also looked confused.

I decline the food properly.

"Why did you reject the food!?"

"Reject?" I laughed on her because It was such an exaggerated thing to say. "I don't want us to get food poisoned, Maria..."

"What if it was your savior?"

I scoffed. "Then at least... my savior should try bringing the food on her own."

"How can he even come by himself if you're always pushing away his help?"

Maria was my best friend since college– and the two of us stick together that's why she knew very well regarding that savior. Maria also witness how my savior spoil mr in life! Food, drinks, or random clothes will be on me since I was a child!

At first, Uncle Georgia find it weird because. She thought it will be another person who will scam us or related to that! But years have passed, nothing bad happened to me that why... I can say that Uncle Georgia and my family likes that savior.

"Why are you even assuming that he is a guy?" I chuckled on Maria. We don't even know what is the gender but my friend always call my savior as a 'he', and assume the handsomeness of the my poor savior.

"I really feel that your savior is a guy! So be prepared because he might be your prince!" She shrieked.

I just laughed on her. I hope... my plan can work for tomorrow. If I need to beg the directors, I will beg for it!

Maria and I didn't stay any longer at the bar because our mood is quite ruined because of work.

When I got home, I saw Uncle Georgia at the sofa, watching TV.

"Good evening, uncle."

His forehead knotted and looked at me from head to toe.

"I said get laid! What are you doing here!? It's just 1AM!" Uncle said.

I pouted and hugged him. "Uncle, I still have work tomorrow so I need to also rest—"

"Work!? Again!?" She shook her head. "Working will be the death of you! Please have an interest! Like a man? A husband?"

"I am still young for that umcle!" I chuckled.

"Young!? No, you're not, Thalia!"

I giggled... Ah, this debate as always. I just hugged uncle before he can even have the chance to answer me.

"Please uncle... I can survive without someone beside me. You raise me so well and enough..."

Uncle just pouted and look on the TV in front.

"I can manage, Uncle. Don't worry. Even if you leave me alone, I can handle myself already. You taught me how to handle life, uncle..."

She sighed. "I am just worried, Thalia. Your uncle and I are not getting any younger anymore. You need someone beside you. Someone that can love you and take care of you..."

"Can't you just be that?" I couldn't help but to answer the same question weeks ago. "Let me be your wife, uncle—"

She shrieked in disbelief. "Watch your words! I am going to live with Matthew until my last breath!"

"Don't you want a family of three, Uncle–"

She didn't even let me finish and walk out on her own. I tried calling uncle but I think she will not go back.

I sighed and glanced into the TV with an absent mind.

Because of being alone, and a trauma that everyone has a power to leave me– I never let myself get attached to someone. I have a lot of responsibilities and work... until I notice that I was at age where I should have a boyfriend.

I know uncle is just concern at me. I feel that Uncle Georgia and Matthew want to build there new life now... They are including me but I know... deep down inside of them... They wanted a space where both of them can be alone. Just the two of them.

I am quite selfish for staying in the house— but come on! I didn't even have a stable savings yet because I just work from them over six months!

So I really need this job. I want it to keep going and I want it to be the reason why I build a house!

I will save Dark Corner myself!

I was feeling motivated while going to work. I have a perfect story line to explain the director my new idea for documentary!

I printed the proposal and handed it to the director's office. All of us are required to submit a new idea for the TV show! Even if the ratings are already flunking— the director wants a new innovative idea about what to do!

"Did you already pass about that proposal?" Maria asked me, scared.

"Yes..."

"I have a bad feeling about this, Thalia. I think you shouldn't tell your dream as a personal experience..." She whispered.

I just smiled on him. "No one will even know what is the truth."

When my name was called, my heart started to thump in.

"So when you are a child, you saw a vampire and wolf fighting against each other?"

I nodded my head.

I consider this as a dream because I am afraid that no one will believe me if I told them it was a real event.

"Interesting. Wolves and vampires..." He sighed. "No one propose this thing ever not because... they didn't think of it. Because... it's a hard job. Where can you even find a vampire these days?"

I didn't answer. I don't know where— but I strongly believe that... in this vast universe, it's impossible that humans are only living here.

"I don't know where to start sir—"

"Then why propose this?" He cut me off. "Don't propose this kind of stuff if you don't even know where to start..."

"I don't know where to start sir... But I know where to go," I told him. "Vampires can hide and blend as a human. But wolves..."

"Wolves?"

"I want to go into the woods and find wolves sir."

In my dream, the wolf defeated the vampire.

That's why I wanted to start with wolves first.

The directors mout opened in disbelief. "You are going to find wolves? Are you even sure that they are real?"
