"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry for betraying you again. I'm sorry dahil ang bobo ko." I cried.
"Oh, my daughter," Mahinang sabi ni Mommy bago ako niyakap. "you were fooled...and you were too innocent."
Nandito ako sa mansion namin. It's been hours since the war and all of us were resting and recovering. Some of our wolves were injured but not heavily and they are now recovering.
Nandito kaming tatlo sa study ni Daddy. Kinailangan na nilang akong kausapin dahil sa mga nangyari and I'm sure they are going to give me my punishment.
Dito ako umuwi dahil hindi kinaya ng konsensya kong magpakita sa Crimson. Hiyang hiya ako kay Santino, Papa Tiago at Mama Karrie. Ang laki ng kasalanan ko sa lahat ng tao dito, lalo na sa mga magulang ko. Hiyang hiya rin ako kina Daddy but where else could I go?
"I'm really disappointed and furious, Zimiena. Napag-usapan na natin to noon, diba? Pinagkatiwalaan ka namin ulit," Kalmadong sabi ni Daddy. "at kahit si CJ dinamay mo pa dito."
"Please don't do anything to CJ, Daddy. Ako lang ang parusahan niyo, wag niyo na siyang isali." Naiiyak kong sabi habang yakap yakap ni Mommy.
"He's suspended. Again," Daddy sighed. "Zia, you disobeyed your parents and went behind your mate's back. Pinrotektahan ka pa ni Santino. Do you know how much you owe Santino?"
"I-I know, Dad...ang laki ng kasalanan ko sa kanya kaya hindi ko siya kayang harapin. Hindi ko na kayang bumalik sa Crimson." I said.
"But Santino wants to see you, Zia. Kanina pa siya nangungulit samin," Bahagya akong nilayo ni Mommy sa kanya para matingnan ang mukha ko. "he wants you back in Crimson."
"I can't, Mom." Sabi ko bago siya niyakap at umiyak muli.
"The Supreme Alpha already knows about the war a while ago pero hindi niya alam yung tungkol kina Zia at Jeremy." Sabi samin ni Daddy.
"Wag na nating ipaalam. It doesn't matter anymore. Jeremy is dead, Zia admitted her fault and she apologized." Kalmadong sabi ni Mommy.
"She has to apologize to Crimson too." Sabi ni Daddy.
Kumalas ako sa yakap at pinunasan ang mga luha bago tumingin kay Daddy. "Can you forgive me, Dad? Mom?" Sabi ko at tumingin din kay Mommy, tumutulo nanaman ang mga traydor kong luha.
"Of course, anak. You're not perfect, you make mistakes too." Mommy said before wiping my tears.
"Of course I can forgive you, Zia. You're my daughter and your Mom's right. You're not perfect and you were only a victim. You have a soft heart that's why you fell for his tricks. I couldn't blame you for that." Mahinahong sabi ni Daddy sakin.
"Ang hindi lang namin nagustuhan, anak, ay yung nagsinungaling ka samin. You went behind our backs." Dagdag ni Mommy at napayuko ako.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I was just...in love with the wrong wolf."
"You can still fix this, anak." Sabi naman ni Daddy kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.
"How, Dad? I've done too much." I said.
"Talk to Santino," He said. "start over. Give your relationship a chance, make it work and forget about everything that has happened now. Forget about Jeremy, he's dead and he does not matter anymore."
"Hindi ko alam kung paano, Dad. Hiyang hiya akong humarap kay Santino, lalo na sa mga magulang niya. They welcomed me into their home, they fed me and they were so kind to me and yet I betrayed them."
