'Mate. Mate. Mate.' Ash was still repeating the words in my head. I walked closer to her and I wanted to cry after I saw her condition. I was so angry to them. But I couldn't think of them right now, I have a mate who is in the raw of death.
Binitawan siya ni Cato at hinayaan nila akong makalapit pa lalo. Nang makalapit na ako ay niyakap ko siya, nanghihina na siya.
"I have to mark you to survive. I'm sorry that I have to do it without your permission. I don't want to lost you." I really wanted to cry. May luha ng namumuo sa mga mata ko pero nilabanan ko ito. I searched for a perfect spot for my mark, and it's in her collarbone. I let my canine out and bite her.
Bumukas ang kaniyang mata at nagpakawala siya ng mahinang ungol. After I felt the bond was created, I let go. I looked at her face. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Let's go." That's the only word I heard from her. Tapos nakita ko na lang na nasa lumang kuwarto ko dito sa pack na kami. Malinis siya na parang kalilinis lang pero alam ko walang maglilinis dito. I heard the door locked and I felt there is a shield surrounding the both of use while I was still looking at her face, eyes, and lips.
She gave me a smile and put her hands in my head to make me lean closer to her and she met me half way. I felt her soft lips in my own lips. I felt so contented that I didn't want to end this. I closed my eyes to feel the electecity she let me feel.
Nakakapanindig balahibo pero ang sarap niya. Hindi ko namalayan na gumagalaw na ang labi niya at tinutugon ko na rin ang mga halik niya.
The kiss was so gentle and passionate. I like this. And I was beginning to love the person who giving me this feeling.
Same time outside:
They couldn't believe of what Cassandra just said, lalo na ang kasamahan nito. Masaya sila para rito pero nagulat din. Akala nila kanina si Cris ang inaamoy nito at nami-miss. Ngayon ay naiintindihan na nila kung bakit ganito ang asta nito kanina.
Si Cato ay na payakap sa kanyang mga mate at paulit-ulit na sinasabi ang salitang salamat. Pati ang mga bata ay nandoon nagtataka na rin sa nangyayari.
Pinapanood lang nila ang ginagawa ni Cassandra. Pero ang mas nagpagulat sa kanila ay ang mabilis na paglaho nito at ng hindi kilalang babae.
"Where did they go? You can't take her from us without our permission." Cris was so angry to them.
"Puwede kumalma ka? Hindi sila lalayo." Banas na sabi ni Drew.
"At isa pa, they can't go farther because of the woman's condition. They will just look for a place to mate." Drea explained too.
But still, Cris not satisfied with their answers. "Look for them. Huwag na huwag ninyong patatakasin." He still gave orger to everyone there.
Meanwhile, Dael was pulling his mom's dress because his dad still can't speak with so much emotions. His mom looked at him. "I know where they are mom."
And Cris heard it. Nilapitan niya ang bata at inaalog para sabihin sa kaniya ang nalalaman nito. Pero natatakot ang bata sa kaniya at nagmatigas. Kasabay din ay naramdaman ni Cato na nasasaktan ang anak niya.
"Let go of my son. Wala kang karapatan para saktan ang anak ko." He look at his son. "Anak, okay ka lang ba? May masakit ba sayo?" Umiling lang ang bata at yumakap sa ama. Kinarga niya ito at naglakad na palabas. He just heard Cris say sorry pero hindi niya na pinansin.
Sumunod sa kaniya ang dalawa niyang mate at si Drew at Sofia na karga si Sandra. Hindi nila alam kung saan ang punta nila pero sumunod pa rin sila. "Huwag ninyo silang guluhin. Babantayan natin sila, salit-salitan tayo. Kahit may shield sila iba pa rin kapag may magbabantay. Hindi natin teritoryo ito." Tumango lang sila bilang pagsang-ayon dito.
Pinagpatuloy nila ang paglalakad. Dahil nagtataka si Cris kung saan ang punta nila ay sinundan niya ito kaya iyong iba sumunod din. Lumabas sila at pumunta sa likuran. Maraming bahay roon dahil doon nagpapatayo ng bahay ang kasapi sa pack na ayaw tumira sa pack house.
Tumigil sila sa dating bahay nila ni Cassandra o sa pagkakilala ni Cris ay Jessica. They didn't knock since no one living here.
Napailing si Cato at napalatak. "Matagal na siyang nandito. Pero hindi niyo nakita?" And he smiled, "magaling ka pa rin magtago pati ng amoy mo Fara." And he sat on a sofa na nandoon. Walang nakarinig sa huli niyang sinabi.
Nagtataka si Cris kasi malinis ang bahay kahit walang nakatira. Ganon din ang kasama niya na sumunod dito.
"Sofia, pakisabihan ang driver na change plan. Pakuha mo iyong mga gamit natin doon sa bahay. Dito na lang tayo pansamantala, malaki naman 'tong bahay." Inikot ang tingin. "Okay lang ba, Alpha Cris?"
"Okay lang. Matagal na walang nakatira dito. Lumipat sila sa pack house." At tumango pa. Si Sofia naman ay sinunod ang utos ni Cato. "Puwede ko ba kayong makilala? Hindi ko natanong ang pangalan niyo kanina. Si Jessica lang ang kilala ko sa inyo." Pagkatapos niya magtanong ay nakabalik na rin si Sofia.
Cato just smirked. "I'm Cato McRight, elementalist. I can control air." Nagulat si Cris pero hindi pinahalata.
Ang babaeng kambal ang sunod na nagsalita. "Andrea McRight. You know what I am. Cato's mate. The other side of Cato holding our son is our another mate." And pointed Vince who was humming to make Dael fall asleep. "That's Vince and our son, Dael." And she smirked, dahil gulat ang nasa mukha ng Dark Moon Pack sa nalaman. Bibihira lang kasi ang magkaroon ng dalawang mate. Maliban sa pinanggalingan ni Cato. Which is normal for them. And Dael became a hybrid too na bihira lang ang may nabubuhay. Kadalasan kasi namamatay na ang bata nasa sinapupunan pa lang dahil ayaw mag sama ng dalawang dugo. It's like fighting for dominance, kaya hindi makayanan ng katawan ng bata minsan kasama pa ang magulang na pumanaw.
They all look at Drew. "Andrew Garcia. I should be an Alpha too. But there is the hunter. You already know what happen." he just shrugged his shoulder. At inakbayan ang asawa. "This is my wife, Sofia. She's a vampire and our daughter, Alessandra. Also an hybrid." He just smiled because he know how lucky he is.
Lalong nagulat ang mga tao. Hindi nila naisip na hybrid ang dalawamg batang ito. "At ano si Jessica sa grupo ninyo? Siguro nagmakaawa lang 'yon, 'no?" Luis said with mocking tone.
The adult didn't react, but the kids didn't like it. They did not want to see there tita Cassy cry. They jump away from there parent's grasp. Sandra hist, while Dael make a fire ball in his hand. Even if they are still 2 years old. They knew how to fight because they always play with tita Cassy when she is in her training so like they're on training too.
The parents only smirked to them when they saw the scary look of the people in the room. The children know the story of Cassandra. They understand it perfectly.
"Children, stop that." Nagprotesta pa ang mga bata. "But your tita will not like it. You know her rules to the both of you?" And Cato smiled taht say he is not mad.
"Don't use your strength to anyone to fight. But use it to protect." They say in unison as they walked back to there parents. They just smiles to there children.
"By the way. She's not Jessica anymore. She's Cassandra Knight. Our captain," and they waited for their reaction. Just like what they wanted to see. They were confuse na nagbubulungan na ang iba. "At nasa itaas sila ngayon. Maybe making babies."
"No, they can't do that." Cris reacted.
"And why not?" It was Vince.
"Because....." He looked for a possible excuse because he knew, until now he still likes Jessica/Cassandra. "Because she's a hunter. It's forbidden."
"Oh," Cato reacted like it dawn to him and he paused. "You're right if she is really a hunter. But she is not. Because..." And paused again. "She's my sister."
Nagulat silang lahat sa rebelasyon ni Cato. " Akala ko mga lalaki kapatid mo?" Drea pouted.
"Oo, lalaki. Lalaki naman 'yon na may boobs." He just smiled and kiss Drea's forehead.
"It's Fara right? The youngest." Vince said. Tumango lang si Cato.
Dahil sa narinig ni Cris ay pinabalik niya na ang naghahanap sa mga ito.
Maya-maya, they heard moaning upstairs. Cato just smirk because all not mated wolf become arouse. Even Cris, though he is mated already.
"It's time to go out now." Drea said habang pinapaalis ang ito.
'Sa wakas. I will having a nephew.' Cato excitedly thought.
