Yours Truly, Amari [Completed]

Chapter Twelve

CHAPTER TWELVE

SOULMATE. A very big word for all the creatures out here— even for humans. Gaano ba ka-big deal sa lahat 'yon? All at once— it was a sacred thing for most species and can actually be explained biologically and mythologically— is there such a word like 'mythologically'?

Anyway, human and other creatures emit pheromones— these are chemicals which have the ability like hormones that screte from us; it is related to scents and you'll know once that that certain person was your soulmate because of the unique scent that his/her body induced out wherein your body reponse of; biologically stated. However, for some creatures of the night; like werewolves and vampires believed that the Moon goddess; Artemis, bind two souls to be one. Meanwhile, other species also have their own belief that I have not yet discovered.

Nakaupo kami ngayon ng magkaharap sa may hardin ko sa likod ng cabin ko kung saan nasa tabi kami ng maliit kong lake under the night sky and along with the cold breeze. Habang kasing-lamig ng gabi ang tingin ko sakan'ya habang nakaupo siya sa harapan ko at napapagitnaan kami ng isang glass circular table.

"I thought that my sense of smell didn't function well when I get a whiff of your scent. Nandoon ka pala sa labas." He said na parang maamong tupa na kaharap ang isang lobo— ako.

But instead of justifying his statement— I asked him my question. "Kailan mo pa nalaman?" I asked coldly.

I saw how he gulped. "T-three days after you took your vacation to Narcosia." He timidly answered but my cold gaze at him didn't falter.

I nodded slowly before my cold mask was finally melted and all the emotions overflowed into my system. Napatakip ako ng mukha gamit ang dalawa kong palad.

I don't know what to feel. I— am his mate. Oh goodness gracious. I am his mate! Tears finally bursted out from the socket of my eyes. My lips quiver as I wiped my tears away and looked at his eyes.

He looked at me worriedly. "Queen..." he thrilled but I motioned my palm at him telling him to stop.

"T-that's what you want to say to me today? Yeah?" I asked as my voice trembled.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maramdaman. And these mixed-emotions that I have make me frustrated that I want to cry it all out.

He nodded before I nodded too. At least he planned to tell me, I'll not go berserk to him for not telling me beforehand. He has his own situation to battle.

He is confuse. Kaya pala mukha siya laging nalilito— kaya pala parang may pinipigilan siya lagi kapag nalalapit ako sakan'ya. Kaya pala minsan nag-iiba 'yung mood niya— it's because he doesn't know what to feel. From being rejected, to mark-less, then, to mate-less and now having another mate was just so quick for him— it was so sudden that he cannot think straight.

As those thoughts came rushing into me; my tears are still running down my face.

"We'll work it out." I stated amidst the silence. I looked at his eyes that were full of concern and bewilderment as I drop the bomb.

"M-mari. I c-can't." He answered and shook his head. My heart aches as he looked down but I didn't let it devour me from what I have to do.

"I know you still love him. But I'm going to take this chance to change it." I said with determination but pain was still suffocating my heart to its extent. "If your goddess let me have you— then, I'll not waste this chance she gave me. Hindi ba, sabi niyo, your Moon goddess bind your kind for a reason? Then, please, let's work it out." I begged.
