954 Words
ZACHARY felt the softness of the hand of his beloved. It's warm and soft. He looked directly in her hazel eyes.
He can feel his heart hammering inside his chest.
He smiled to her but Dale bowed to him.
"Sir." She said. Binawi nito ang kamay nito na hawak niya.
Sabay silang umupo.
Nakayuko lang si Dale habang kumakain at hindi nagsasalita. So he have the time to stare at her.
She's really beautiful. His wolf said and he agreed. His beloved is really beautiful.
Napatingin siya kay Layden ng sinipa siya nito sa paa sa ilalim ng mesa.
"What?" He asked.
You're making her uncomfortable, Zachary. Pagsagot nito sa mindlink.
He just shrugged.
He felt his phone vibrated. Because of his sensitive hearing, he can hear Layden's phone also vibrating.
Halos sabay silang naglabas ng kanya-kanyang phone. He tsked. He doesn't need it pero dahil kailangan niyang makibagay. He need to use what human are using. At para hindi rin manghinala ang mga tao tungkol sa kanila. They need to have front. Just like having a company or assets.
Nawala ang ngiti niya nang makita kung ano ang nakita niya.
A picture.
Nagkatinginan sila ni Layden.
Ibinalik ni Zachary ang tingin niya sa screen ng kanyang phone. He don't know if its a woman or a man. The person in the picture is wearing a white hooded cloak.
Then another picture was send to him.
A picture that was a long cut at the back of the victim. At sa obserbasyon niya ay gawa sa pilak na sandata ang sugat dahil kakaiba ang sugat.
He received a message from his butler, Ryle.
'Your Majesty, that's a wound from a silver sword that the MYSTERIOUS HUNTER have.'
Layden and Zachary cussed.
It's been five years since the Mysterious hunter showed. Palagi itong nandoon kapag kailangan nila ng tulong. Pero walang nakakaalam sa kanila kung sino ito.
She's really a mysterious.
Zachary shooked his head and put back his cellphone in his pocket.
Tumingin si Zachary kay Dale na abala sa pagkain. He sighed and get the coke in can infront of him. He opened it and gave it to her.
"Huh?"
"Drink it."
"Sigurado po kayo, sir?"
"I'm sure." He answered.
Dale shrugged. "Thank you, Sir."
At the corner of his eyes, he saw Layden and Bree grinned.
They stilled when they smell some rogue and black vampires except for Dale dahil tao ito. Nagkatinginan silang tatlo. Sinenyasan ni Zachary si Bree na ilayo si Dale.
"Dale, let's go."
Nagulat si Dale sa biglaang pag-aya ng kaibigan. "Hindi pa ako tapos kumain."
"Aist! Sa opisina ka na lang kumain." Sabay hila ni Bree kay Dale patayo.
"Sandali—"
Nakatingin lang si Zachary at Layden sa dalawang babae na papalayo.
"Mas maganda sana kung nandito si Jariah." Wika ni Layden.
"Call him." Zachary suggested.
"Maybe some other time because now we have something to dispose."
They entered the elevator.
I don't want to dispose garbage. I want to be with my mate. His wolf said.
Our mate, Isle. Our mate. Angil niya.
She's mine. Isle growled.
Zachary smirked.
Isle, Dale is a mortal. She can't shift. Pang-aasar niya.
I'll take over your body. Sabi ni Isle.
Hindi na umimik si Zachary at lumabas ng elevator.
Warm breeze welcome him at the rooftop.
"Philippines is really Philippines." Layden said and laughed.
Zachary sighed.
"Any problem, King Zachary?"
Zachary put his hand in his pocket.
"She's a mortal."
"She will accept you, Zachary—"
Mabilis nilang inilagan ang isang palaso. Tumama ito sa sahig. Nilapitan ni Zachary ang palaso at kinuha ito pero agad din niyang nabitawan ng mapaso siya.
"f**k!"
Napatingin siya sa kamay niyang umusok at ibinalik ang tingin niya sa palaso na nahulog sa sahig.
"Hindi ba ito ang palaso ng Mysterious Hunter?" Lumuhod si Layden sa sahig at tinitigan ang palaso. Kinuha ni Layden ang kanyang panyo at ito ang ginamit para mahawakan niya ang palaso.
"Look, Zachary..." Ipinakita niya ang naka-engrave sa palaso.
AZLEIA
"She's here." Ani Zachary.
"Yes, i'm here."
Sabay nilang nilingon ang nagsalita at nagulat sila ng makita nilang prenteng nakaupo ang isang babaeng nakaputing cloak sa malapad na railing ng rooftop. Hindi nila naramdaman ang presensiya nito.
Nakatalukbong ang hood nito kaya hindi nila makita ang buo nitong mukha.
Zachary smell the mysterious hunter pure and untainted scent. Iba ang amoy nito sa mga hunter.
Itinaas ni Layden ang hawak nitong palaso.
Nakita nila ang pagpitik nito at biglang naglaho ang hawak ni Layden na pilak na palaso.
"What the hell have happened?" Bulalas ni Layden.
Zachary shrugged and looked at the Mysterious Hunter.
"Why are you here, Azleia?" Zachary asked.
The mysterious hunter grinned. "Visiting."
"There are rogue and black vampires roaming around and we are planning dispose them tonight. Are you in?"
"I'm in." Azleia said.
Kumunot ang noo ni Zachary nang marinig niya ang malamyos na tinig ng mysterious hunter. There is something in her voice that he can't explain.
"So ... tonight? Alam ko kung nasaan sila."
Bago pa man sila makasagot ay bigla itong naglaho.
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa at napailing.
ZACHARY perfectly landed on the ground. And Layden's followed.
"Where's the mysterious hunter— what was her name again?" Layden asked.
"Azleia." Agad na sagot ni Zachary.
"Woah. Naalala mo, ah."
Zachary showed his middle finger to Layden. "Shut up, Alpha Layden."
Layden laughed.
"Alam niyo ang ingay niyong dalawa." Ani ng kadadating na si Azleia sa likuran nilang dalawa.
Nilagpasan sila ni Azleia at nauna na itong lumapit sa abandonadang warehouse.
Para itong hangin na gumalaw dahil sa bilis nito.
She's fast. Komento ng wolf ni Zachary.
"Tatayo na lang ba kayo diyan?" Tanong ni Azleia sa dalawa.
They both sighed.
"Okay, let's start." Layden said.
Pumasok silang tatlo sa abandonadang warehouse.
"This is just a front. Sa labas mukhang abandonadang warehouse pero ang totoo ay nandito lang sila sa loob." At itinuro ni Azleia ang sahig.
"Nasa loob sila ng sahig?" Layden asked. Disbelief was drawn in his face.
Ramdam ni Zachary ang pagtawa ng wolf niya at ang wolf ni Layden.
Napailing lang si Azleia sa tanong ng Alpha at hinugot ang espada niya mula sa kanyang likuran.
"Hindi ba nila tayo naramdaman?" Tanong ni Zachary.
Azleia just smiled.
