Two months ago...
JUST my damn luck!
Moment ko na eh.
The Alpha chose me to be his first dance and I thought ako na rin ang mapipili nito para maging mate.
But the hell...
May isang babae na nakabughaw na gown ang bigla nalang sumingit sa eksena.
I know who she is...
At alam ko rin na ito talaga ang gusto ng Alpha Mayor but still, hindi ko mapigilan ang magngitngit.
Sana hinayaan na lang muna ng naka-iinis na bumibidang babaeng 'yon na maisayaw ako ni Zacria Reid.
Napahiya ako sa maraming tao at ang aking mom na nag-effort pang bilhin ang aking super expensive na ballgown.
I heard giggles and whisperings from all the she-wolves who attended the ball.
I huffed.
Mga usiserang frog!
I was about to leave when the Alpha ordered his Beta to continue the serenade.
Mas lalo akong nainis.
I was not interested in Magnum Sasha. He's an easy go lucky guy, and I found him boring.
Minsan ko na itong nakaharap at nakausap sa Rancho ng ipahanap ni Zacria Reid si Lucy at hindi naging maganda ang una naming encounter.
I decided that very day, he's not my cup of tea. But things got out of hand the moment Magnum Sasha held my hand and danced with me.
The moment he pulled me closer into his hunkabogabol heavenly body.
Hell, I could feel his perfect abs and hard muscles kahit naka-knight in shinning-armor costume ito, which was infairness suited him very well.
Nanoot sa aking ilong ang mild and minty cologne ng second in command and the heck, I almost sniff him and drool.
And then when our eyes met behind those mask, grar!
I was captivated by his clear blue-eyes or is it green or grey?
Napabuntong hininga ako at kinalimutan muna ang mga mata ng aking kasayaw.
But as the Beta leaned forward to rest his chin against my forehead, damn! My heart thumped crazily inside of my chest.
I must be crazy dahil sa mundong ito, wala iyong bagay na tinatawag na mate's pull at mate's connection.
Pero ano iyong naramdam ko na kuryente at matinding init habang nasa loob ako ng mga bisig nito.
What was that ticklish sensation na gumagapang sa bawat himaymay ng aking katawan habang lalo pa akong hinahapit palapit ng Beta. At habang kami ay sumasayaw, halos tumigil ang oras dahil tanging nasa binata lang ang aking atensyon.
I was not expecting that cause I've never felt something like that before.
So unreal.
Magical...
Nakawiwindang at nakawawala sa tamang pag-iisip.
"I love your eyes. Sharp and wise," he whispered into my ear.
Me and Kitten purred as those words made us tickled our sensitive nerves to the highest level.
But wait...
Is he hittin on me?
"And I love the way your lips pout. The way you look and the way you move. Hot and sexy."
I gulped as my face flushed brightly red.
He's no doubt hitting on me!
"You're the most fairiest woman of them all, believe me."
I took a deep breath and shook my head.
No.
This should be stop kundi, baka hindi ko na mapigilan pa ang aking sarili.
Sakto namang natapos ang first music ng serenade.
Bumitaw ako sa binata sabay yukod. "You don't have to flatter me Mr.Beta just because the Alpha rejected me," wika ko dito bago ako tumalikod at lumayo rito.
I heard my wolf whimpered and my heart twitched painfully as I left him in the middle of the dance floor. But I immidiately snapped at myself.
No...
I coudn't be possibly falling for that guy.
No way...
Cause I am Katrina Clayton.
Hindi isang tulad ni Magnum Sasha ang magpapa-amo sa mailap kong puso.

Thirty minutes later...
"Let's go, Katrina. Wala na tayong mapapala dito. don't fret over that looser Zacria Reid. Ihahanap kita ng mas deserving na lalake and not like that stupid Alpha Mayor!" yaya sa akin ng aking Mom pauwi.
But I was too busy sa pagpapakalunod sa alak sa isang sulok ng Reid's Mansion'sHall para unawain pa ang mga sinasabi nito.
I felt depress pero hindi dahil inayawan ako ng Alpha Mayor.
No...
I felt down for some other reason na 'di ko mapin-point kung ano.
Suddenly, my mother grabbed my arm. She was about to drag me out of that nousy place but I yanked free from her grasp.
"Katrina Clayton, let's go!" Nakikita kong napipika na rin ito sa akin but I don't care.
"Go home alone mom. Goodness! Kung tutuusin, kasalanan mo itong lahat. You gave me false hope and false dream and because of you, napahiya ako sa harap ng marami, mother!"
I saw her jaw dropped from shock but I was too drunk para mapigilan pa ang aking sarili na maglabas ng sama ng loob.
"All your life, wala kang ginawa kundi diktahan ako. May sarili akong buhay mom. Utang na loob, tigilan n'yo na ang pakikialam sa akin cause I'm not a damn kid anymore. I will choose who ever I want at hindi lang dahil iyon ang inutos n'yo kundi 'yon ang gusto ko!"
Hindi ko alam kung ano pa ang mga nasabi ko sa aking ina dahil naramdaman ko na lang na may lumagapak sa aking pisngi.
"You ungrateful child! Hindi kita pinalaki para lang maging ingrata! But if you really want it your way, then suit yourself Katrina. You think a brat like you can find a decent man na gugustuhin ka? Think twice, dear daughter! From now on, hindi na kita pakikialaman. Magsama kayo ng anak ni Edward! Mga walang utang na loob!"
Matapos sabihin ang mga salitang 'yon ay iniwan na ako nito.
I smiled bitterly as I cupped my cheek.
My mother is indeed a drama Queen!
But who cares to be alone huh?
Wala akong pakialam kahit tumanda akong dalaga.
Who needs a man anyway?
Not me...
No I don't need them.
I don't want th---
"Are you okay, Miss?"
I flinched as I heard a familiar voice behind me.
I automatically turn around and found the mighty Beta of DarkStone pacing forward.
Agad na nasapo ko ang aking kaliwang dibdib nang masilayan ko ang wala nang maskarang guwapong mukha ni Magnum Sasha.
Golly...
Zacria Reid is maybe hot but this dude infront of me is a gorgeous hunk!
I smirked wickedly.
Okay...
Sapalagay ko, kailangan ko ang Beta ng DarkStone kahit ngayong gabi lang.
