TAMED BY SASHA (Filipino)

TEN

MULA sa kusina, natagpuan ko na lang ang aking sarili na nakabaliktad habang buhat ako ni Magnum Sasha sa balikat nito patungo sa ikalawang palapag ng bahay na iyon.

I growled.

Grr!

This man is undeniably rude!

How dare him treat me like a sack of potato, huh!

I shrieked and tried to bite and scratch his back but to my utter horror, he spanked my f*****g ass to shut me up.

"Quiet pet, you've been a very bad girl, today. You made you're Master very very pissed, so I should give you a very very sweet punishment."

Napasinghap ako dahil sa aking narinig mula rito.

P... punishment?

This stupid insensitive jerk will punish me?

Bigla akong natigilan at huminto sa pagpalag.

Bumalik sa aking alaala ang mga nangyari sa RavenStone UnderGround at ang mga parusang inabot ko noon kay Madame X.

Ang madilim na punishment room at ang mga silver chains.

My body started to tremble from those memories.

This man.

Ganoon din ba ang gagawin ng lalakeng ito sa akin.

Is he going to chain my wrists up and hit me with a whip too?

Napalunok ako nang mabalot ng matinding pangamba ang aking dibdib.

He couldn't be serious right?

It was his fault anyway, kaya binato ko ito ng cooking pot.

Oo nga at hindi ko gustong ipaalam dito na ako si Katrina Clayton; the woman in red ball gown that he met from the Mating Seasons Ball, pero naka-iimbyerna pa ring isipin na hindi ako nito nakilala.

Geez...

At naipagkamali pa ako nito na isa sa mga ex-es nito!

Kaasar hindi ba?

So why the punishment?

I was too drawn to those thoughts, kaya nagulat na lang ako ng aking mamalayan na naipasok na pala ako ni Magnum Sasha sa silid na nagisnan ko ng umagang iyon.

He released me and sat me down on the poster bed.

Agad akong kumilos palayo rito. Umakyat ako sa ibabaw ng malambot na higaan sabay siksik sa headrest niyon.

No...

Please, no more punishments.

Don't hurt me.

I shook my head and mouthed those words at him.

Nakita ko na nawala ang ngising nasa labi ng binata. Napakunot noo ito sa aking iginawi sabay mahinang napamura.

"The hell, are you okay? I was just kiddi--" He tried to touch and reach for me.

Awtomatikong tinapik ko ang mga kamay nito. I covered my ears and closed my eyes tightly.

Don't come any closer, please!

Huwag mo akong saktan.

Sa pagkakataong iyon, tila hindi ito ang aking nakikita kundi si Madame X. The witch and the ruthless evil guy na pumatay sa aking mama. Ashter Vertillo who shot me and hurt me with his swiss knife.

And then I saw whips and chains and then silver blades.

And bloods....

And oh God...

I hate those things.

They made me and my wolf scared and weak. At ayaw ko sa mga mahihina. Sa mga nilalang na madaling matakot.

I couldn't be one of them, right?

Sa lahat ng pinagdaanan ko sa loob ng dalawang buwan mula ng mawala ang aking mom, dapat matibay na ako.

I couldn't be a weakling like those omega slaves kundi, kamumuhian ko rin maging ang aking sarili at----

"Sshh... pet, it's alright, I'm sorry."

Mula sa nakatatakot na isiping iyon, biglang bumalik sa pangkasalukuyan ang aking diwa nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses na iyon kasunod ay ang pagkulong sa aking katawan ng isang pares ng maiinit na mga bisig na pag-aari ng Beta ng DarkStone.

Agad akong napatingala sa binata na nasa tabi ko na pala.

His eyes full of worries and guilt.

He carefully pulled me into his lap and with teary eyes, I bit my lips as he cupped my cheeks and caressed it.

"Damn it! I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. I won't hurt you, Julliene, okay? Forgive this stupid man for being so insensitive," he mumbled then leaned forward tilting his head into mine.

Lahat ng aking pangamba at takot kanina ay agad naglaho sa ere dahil sa pahayag ng binata.

And as I stared into his handsome face which was few inches away from mine, who wouldn't be distracted?

Sinalubong nito ang aking titig at wala sa sarili na gumapang patungo sa aking dibdib ang kanan kong kamay.

I could hear my heart beat and chest thumped so loud.

This Beta...

Ano bang ginagawa nito?

Why is he doing this to me, huh?

Being so gentle, kind and all.

Is he trying to tame me!

5:00 PM

"The hell man. Not my gadgets and video games okay! That's not cool. Pakisabi kay Zacky na magrereport ako bukas. With Ashter Vertillo on the loose, marami na namang Omega ang mapapahamak. I'll track his whereabout and this time I'll make sure that he'll end up behind bars."

From lying down onto the bed, habang kunya'y na nasa mahimbing na pagtulog ay bigla akong napasinghap nang malinaw kong marinig ang mga pabulong na ipinahayag ni Sasha sa kung sino mang kausap nito sa cellphone.

He's near the window but I could feel his eyes watching my sleeping form. But anyway, bumalik tayo sa aking nalaman mula sa binata.

So, Ashter Vertillo was still out there, huh.

Nakatakas pala ang masamang nilalang na iyon mula sa engkuwentro sa RavenStone upper ground.

I gulped.

With that devious man wandering around, God! Isa lang ang ibig sabihin.

Manganganib na naman ako.

The truth was, he's the reason kaya napilitan akong tumawid sa hangganan ng DarkStone at RavenStone two months ago.

He tried to kill me too dahil hindi ko maibigay dito ang bagay na kinuha raw ng aking Mom mula kay Mr.Hugo.

Thus, from running away I ended up sa mga kamay ng bruhang si Madame X . That Cruella deVil!

Ngunit akala ko, kahit paano ay makakalayo na ako kay Ashter. But he f*****g showed up in RavenStone UnderGround and almost killed me again.

I remembered, he was talking about a certain blackbook.

I sighed silently.

Whatever that blackbook was,

kailangan kong mahanap ang bagay na iyon upang aking maunawaan kung bakit nagawang patayin ni Ashter Vertillo ang aking ina.

Kailangang----.

"Sleep well, pet. And I'm sorry."

Muntik na akong mapapitlag at mapabalikwas ng bangon nang biglang maramdaman ang pagdampi ng malalambot na labing iyon sa likod ng aking palad.

Nakalapit na pala ang Beta sa akin ng 'di ko na namamalayan.

But his next words made Kitten purred again and me, held my breath.

"Why do I have this strange feeling that she... was you..."

I mentally groaned.

Oh geez!

SLEEPY FOREST

The Alpha's Cabin...

(JADEE'S POV)

"Hayan na, nararamdaman ko na s'ya!" sa namamaos na tinig ay wika ko habang hawak sa mga kamay ang dalawang bodyguard na ini-assign ni Alpha Zacria na poprotekta sa akin.

I hummed and started to utter latin words for the ritual.

"Kumapit kayong mabuti. Nararamdaman ko ang isang espirito na pumapasok sa loob ng cabin. I can feel him and smell his cologne."

Teka cologne?

Bongga ng spirit na iyon ha!

Anyway, let's continue.

"He's getting nearer. Malapit na malapit na s'ya. I can hear his footstep, his every move. Ang kan'yang mga mata, nakatingin sa akin ang kan'yang mga mata. Now, he's holding me and ghad! is he kissing me now!"

Bigla akong napamulagat dahil sa naramdamang mga labi na dumadampi sa akin but only to shriek loudly ng maka-eye to eye ang tampalasang espirito.

"Good evening, Ms.Joon. Sorry, I disturbed the ritual. " Smitly greeted me and for the the very first time, saw a smirk formed in the corner of his lips.

And with that, my heart swoon and I fell into the floor totally passing out.
