Nanlalaki ang matang nagkatitigan sina Zevious at Alexilia. Ramdam nila hanggang ngayon ang malakas na pagpintig ng kanilang mga puso na labis nilang ikinagulat lalo na sina Jaxon at Aliah.

"Sky!" sabay na sigaw nila ni Zevious nang bigla nawalan ng malay si Skeira na kaagad nilang nasalo.

Sinapo ni Alexilia ang magkabilang pisngi ng kaibigan at nag-angat ng tingin kay Zevious na puno rin ng pag-aalala ang mukha. "Let's bring her to Marco," ani Alexilia at kaagad naman tumango si Zevious at saka binuhat ang kaibigan.

Nilingon ni Alexilia ang pamilya maging sina Jaxon at Tyron at saka mababaw na tumango bago sila naglaho ni Zevious at nag-teleport papunta sa bahay ng mga Marco. At sa gulat nila, naroon na si Athalyne sa labas at kaagad silang nilapitan.

"Ano nangyari sa kaniya?" tanong nito habang ang paningin ay na kay Skeira na malamig ang temperatura.

"She passed out," ani Alexilia at napabuntong-hininga. "Some—"

"What happened?"

Napalingon sila sa nagsalita. "Lucas..." malalim na buntong-hininga ni Athalyne.

Kunot-noo namang lumapit si Lucas sa kanila at mas lalong nagsalubong ang kilay nang makita si Skeira na walang malay habang pangko-pangko ni Zevious.

"What happened?" ulit niya sa tanong niya at maingat na kinuha si Skeira mula kay Zevious.

"She passed out after meeting the unknown lady," ani Alexilia at sinulyapan si Athalyne na natigilan.

"Unknown lady?" usal ni Athalyne at marahang tumango si Zevious.

"We don't know why she passed out," aniya at bumaling kay Lucas. "We will leave her to you. Take care of her," at mababaw itong tumango na sinundan ni Alexilia.

"We will leave now," paalam nilang dalawa at nag-teleport papunta sa headquarters nila kung saan nila naabutan si Hero na matiim na nakatitig sa white board kung saan nakasulat ang kanilang mga planong aalamin.

Namuo ang luha sa gilid ng mata ni Alexilia at marahan na nilapitan si Hero na nagtatakang nilingon siya.

"Hero..." singhap niya at mahigpit na niyakap ang kaibigan na ikinasalubong ng kilay ni Hero at binalingan si Zevious na nagpapahid ng sariling luha.

"What the fucking hell with you two?" gilalas ni Hero at sumisinghot na lumayo si Alexilia sa binata at binatukan ito.

"Fuck you!" Alexilia exclaimed then, sobbed. "We met the unknown lady..."

Hero stilled and stared at Alexilia who's wiping her tears away. "I... told to councils why we are delaying our supposedly wedding. I... told them that..." She looked at Zevious, "I love my Zevy. We are mated and we're in relationship."

"What..." Hero uttered and Alexilia shook her head.

"As what I expect, they did not believe me being Zevious mate so, I explained it to them but, they still didn't believe me and dismissed me and informed Dad," Alexilia said and sighed. "And he went mad at me. Then, Jaxon and Tyron went to our house to execute me but, it did not happen because of the unknown lady."

"She was there?" Hero asked, calmly.

Alexilia and Zevious nodded. "She was cool, bro. She did an awesome entrance and then... boom!" Zevious chuckled and wiped his tears.

"You're crying?" Hero grimaced and Zevious glared at him. "I was just too overwhelmed!"

Chuckling, Alexilia went to her mate. Ah, it sounds so good. And hugged Zevious.
