"Daddy, papayag kang sumama ako dun? You trust that guy?" Sunod sunod kong tanong kay Daddy pagkapasok namin sa study niya.
Sabi ko sa kanyang mag-usap kaming tatlo ni Mommy dito sa study niya, ayoko namang marinig ni Santino ang mga reklamo ko dahil for sure magagalit nanaman si Daddy. Naiwan sa living room si Kuya para kausapin si Santino.
"Yes, I trust him. Matagal ko nang kilala si Santino, he's a good guy and a good Alpha." Sagot ni Daddy bago umupo sa swivel chair niya.
"Bagay naman kayo, anak. No wonder you two are mates." My Mom giggled.
"But I don't know him!"
"Then get to know him, sumama ka sa kanya ngayon. And at least you won't be staying here anymore where you're grounded." Natatawang sabi ni Daddy.
"Bakit? Hindi ba ako grounded pag nandun ako?" I asked.
"Ewan, depende kay Santino." He shrugged.
I sighed and sat beside Mom dito sa sofa. Ngumuso ako sa kanya kaya natawa siya at hinaplos ang buhok ko.
"Bakit ayaw mo, anak?" Mommy asked.
Jeremy. "He looks so mean, Mommy. Ang sama kaya ng tingin niya sakin!" Sabi ko bago tumingin kay Daddy.
"Masama rin ang tingin ko sa Mommy mo noon pero gusto ko na siya nun. Trust me, Zia, may mga lalaking ganyan." Daddy chuckled.
"Men are so weird." I sighed again.
"I agree." Mom said and Dad raised an eyebrow at her.
"And wait, are you saying that he likes me already?" I frowned.
Mommy shrugged. "Baka, hindi naman impossible yun eh. You two are mates."
"Ganon ka din ba kay Mommy noon, Dad?" I asked and I heard my Mom's laugh.
"Mine was different," He grinned to himself. "hindi ko pa nalamang mate ko Mommy mo pero gusto ko na siya."
"Oh, please." My Mom scoffed.
"What do you mean hindi mo pa alam? Hindi ba umingay lobo mo nung una mong nakita si Mommy?" I asked again.
"Umingay pero hindi ko pinansin dahil baka nagkamali nanaman siya. Your Mom was a human back then kaya hindi ko pinaniwalaan ang lobo ko." Daddy answered with a smile.
I thought about that and Santino. I cringed. Ayoko! I have Jeremy already and I love him kahit hindi ko siya mate. I will reject this Alpha, ayoko sa kanya!
"You're smiling now, Dad. Bati na ba tayo? Napatawad niyo na ba ako?" I asked.
