NINETEEN

"I knew it! It all started the night of Mating Season's Ball, right? I know that something is going on between the two of you!"
Buhat sa pagkakahalumbaba sa ibabaw ng counter na nasa loob ng kusina ay awtomatikong umangat ang aking paningin kay Lucy del Romance.
Nasa tapat ko ito habang gumagawa ng vegetable salad.
Bagamat wala sa akin ang mga mata ng aking stepsister ay alam kong ako ang kinakausap nito.
I pouted and my brows arched.
What is this witch's mumbling about?
Saglit na huminto si Lucy sa pag-sllice ng mga vegies upang direktang tumingin sakin.
She put the knife down and placed her left hand on her waist.
"Aw, don't deny it girl. Nakita ko kaya kayo 'noh! And I'm 100% sure, you're the woman who's wearing those magnificent redball gown na isinayaw ni Sasha sa serenade! At nakita ko rin kayo na magkasamang umalis pagkatapos ng ball."
My eyes widened in surprise. Muntik na rin akong malaglag sa aking kinauupuan dahil sa narinig na ipinahayag nito.
Hindi makapaniwalang napakapit ako sa isang corner ng counter sabay lunok.
Did this irritating new Luna of DarkStone really see us?
She knew?
I groaned in disbelief.
Of all werewolves, bakit ang babaeng ito pa!
Napa-iling ako.
This is so impossible!
Pero paano ako nito nakilala?
I was wearing a mask that evening, for christsake!
Lucy smirked as I gave her confused and full of questions look.
She crossed her arms above her not so big bossoms and just like a damn creepy psychic na nahulaan ang mga tanong ko sa isip ay agad na sinagot nito ang mga iyon.
"Okay, look. Kilalang kilala kita Kat. Nakatalikod, nakatagilid or even if your in upside-down position, geez! I can easily tell that it is you. Now balik tayo ng gabi ng Mating Season's Ball." Saglit na huminto si Lucy upang sumagap ng hangin ngunit maya-maya rin ay nagpatuloy ito.
I listened to her whilst my whole body tensed.
"I saw how you clinged into Magnum Sasha dahil marami ka ang nainom na alak. You even threw up three times and that's gross, you alcoholic b***h. I almost disowned you as my stepsister. But I changed my mind cause guess what happened next? I almost freak out when you and that gorgeous second-in command kissed er... rather ate each others faces! Yep, hindi lang isang simpleng halik ang pinagsaluhan n'yo! And again that's ewww!"
Feeling too shocked and ashamed from the annoying woman's words in front of me, I totally lose my balance and fell from the stall.
I groaned.
My butt will surely hit the tiled floor first, so I closed my eyes tightly, expecting the pain it will cause me.
Masakit pa ang aking pang-upo dahil sa natanggap kong parusa mula sa ungas na si Magnum Sasha at ang mahulog sa sahig na una ang bahagi ng katawan kong iyon...
Damn it.
I just knew it will be too damn aweful.
My poor perfect ass!
Huwag naman sanang madamage iyon ng tuluyan.
Ngunit ang matinding sakit na aking inaasahang sasalo sa aking pang-up ay hindi dumating. Sa halip, isang pares ng matitipunong mga bisig ang biglang yumakap sa aking bewang at ang may-ari niyon ay mabilis akong sinambot.
"Who is kissing... who?" Magnum Sasha's full of curiousity voice filled the whole kitchen.
My jaw dropped as I snapped my eyes wide open when I realized that it was him who had save me.
Seriously, ang lalakeng ito na naman?
I grimaced and snickered but then frowned later.
Teka, kailan pa ito pumasok sa kusina?
May narinig kaya ito sa pinag-uusapan namin ni Lucy?
And wait again.
Ano nga ba ang itinatanong nito?
I heard Lucy del Romance Reid giggled across from me and the Beta that darted my thoughts back to reality.
"Oh nice catch, Beta Sasha. Anyway, pinag-uusapan namin ni Katrina 'yong mga nangyari sa ball. I just saw her kissing---"
My eyes widened in panic.
What the fudge, b***h?
Dont tell him!
I immidiately shook my head and
gave my tactless stepsister a pleading look. And to my utter relief, she easily got my message.
"Oh, well, she's uhm..." Lucy blinked as she stuttered. Napansin ko ang bahagyang pagkalito sa mukha nito bago nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita. "She's uhm... kissing her handsome suitor. Yes, her suitor! Whew! How sweet right, Beta Sasha?"
I sighed.
Heck!
Muntik na 'yon.
Nakita at nabasa ko sa mga mata ni Lucy ang mga salitang 'Explain at we're not done talking yet' bago ito saglit na nag-paalam upang icheck muna ang asawa nito na si Zacria Reid.
Bumalik sa aking guwapong Master (note the sarcasm) ang aking atensyon nang tulungan ako nito na muling maka-upo sa stall at pihit nito sa akin paharap dito.
"Well, that's a surprise, my pet is already taken huh!" the Beta muttered.
My brows arched.
Taken agad?
Lucy said suitor right? At hindi boyfriend or mate!
Geez!
Pero teka nga lang.
Sa ganda kong ito, mahirap bang paniwalaan na kahit paano ay may lovelife din ako?
Although, it was just a lie?
I mentally shook my head feeling a little frustrated.
As if, may papasa sa standard ko.
I know myself that I am very choosy. Maging ang wolf kong si Kitten ay mailap pagdating sa maselang bagay na iyon.
Well, naaalala kong may isang nilalang ang matagal ko ng pinapangarap noon pa man, ngunit inagaw na iyon ng modern she-wolf-Cinderella ng DarkStone na si Lucy del Romance.
I sighed deeply.
And my bad luck didn't end up with it cause I ended up in Beta Magnum Sasha's bed after the ball.
Nahinto ang aking namumuong inis para sa aking stepsister at lihim na napabuntong-hininga.
Napapitlag pa ako ng muling magtanong ang second in command na kasama ko pa rin sa kusina sa mga sandaling iyon.
"Who is he then?"
I glared at him.
Bakit ba interesado ang kumag na ito na malaman ang love-life ko?
"None of your business, jerk," I mouthed at him. I stood up and decided to leave.
Galit pa rin ako sa dito, duh!
For spanking my beatifull ass and for informing Lucy na narito ako sa bahay nito. I was so embarrassed earlier kaya bago ko pa ito masinghalan ay humakbang na ako palayo dito.
But then I yelped in surprise when I felt my body being lifted off the ground. At bago pa man ako tuluyang makapag-react ay natagpuan ko na lang ang aking sarili na nakaupo sa ibabaw ng counter.
Gilalas na napanganga ako.
While Magnum Sasha took advantage of my reaction and slid his body in between my legs then grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to him.
"What the---" I was about to snarled at him but as he moved and lowered his head to nuzzle my neck, damn it, I lips pressed together and I gulped hard.
I swear, my flirtatious inner-wolf Kitten trembled from the back of my mind. Samantala, isang malakas na singahap naman ang aking pinakawalan dahil sa pagkakiliti.
O-okay.
What the heck is this man thinks he is doing huh?
Is he seducing me?
Sa ibabaw ng counter mismo?
Itutulak ko sana ito palayo sa akin dahil baka maabutan kami ni Lucy sa ganoong posisyon ngunit biglang nag-angat ng mukha ang aking handsome Master at awtomatikong nagsalubong ang aming mga mata.
Sasha leaned in close as if to kiss me. Right there, I totally lost it and I gave in.
Wala sa sarili na napapikit ako habang nanunuot sa aking ilong ang nakararahuyong bango ng Beta.
Ilang segundo na hinitay ko ang pagkilos nito at paghalik sa akin. But the kiss didn't happen as he suddenly spoke. "You're still mine, pet. Whoever this suitor or boyfriend of yours is, tell him to f**k off cause no mutt can take what is mine away from me!"
My lips parted as I gasped in shock from his words but only to shrieked inside of my head when Sasha finally crossed the distance between our faces and claimed my mouth into a deep and possessive kiss.
_______
Samantala...
"AW! Kiss me like that too yummy!" Lucy whinned.
Napangisi si Cria at marahang hinigit ang asawa palabas ng bahay ni Magnum Sasha. "I'm a much better kisser that him, sweety. I have forever to prove you that."
