Cherish by the Alpha

REVELATION (part 2)

HER POV

"Ano?wala bang may gustong magpaliwanag sainyo?"

"Alpha, 'wag ka ng tumunganga dyan. It's your time to shine!" Bulong naman ni Marcus dito at sinuklian siya nito ng masamang tingin at batok mula kay Leo.

"Shut up asshole!" bulong nito dito.

"Ahem!" Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay na nagpatahimik ulit sakanila ng akmang magsasalita na ako bilang nagsiluhod ito habang kadaob palad sa harap ko.

"My darling, it's not my intention to hide this from you!" Dominic

"Luna, patawarin mo na kami hindi na kami magsisinungaling ulit!"Marcus

"Luna, you can punish Marcus all you want, dahil siya naman ang naka-isip no'n!" Leo

"Stop! Isa-isa lang hindi ko kayo maintindihan!" sigaw ko dito at nagsi-tahimik naman ito.

"You first Dominic. I want to know the true and I mean ALL of it... Understand?" Tumango naman ito.

"Where do I start?" Nagkibit balikat lang ako ang napabutong hininga siya.

"Okay, As you know I am Dominic Luciano I was born and raise in Italy since my father is a full blooded Italian and my Mom is a Filipina. My father is a descendant of the first ever werewolf Alpha, our ancestors." I carefully listen to every details of their history maybe it can help me to understand them better.

"Luna di fiume is the name of the pack one of the strongest and powerful pack here in Asia and Europe. We have two packs, one here in the Asia and one in Europe which is still being lead by my Father but since I become of age my father passed the Alpha title here in the Philippines, so he can focus more on our pack in Europe. After my father passed the title I change the name of the pack which the translated English meaning of it. The River Moon pack." Ngumiti ito sakin lumapit at hinawakan ang kamay ko na hindi ko naman binawi kaya mas lalong lumaki ang ngiti niya.

"Do you remember I asked you about soulmates?" tumango naman ako at hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay niya.

"Werewolves was made by the Moon Goddess with only half of their soul, that's why every werewolves travel around the world just to find the missing piece of them and when they find their other half they will do anything, everything for them. Some got lucky to meet their mate the day or after their birthday. But sometimes it may take a month or years to find them." Napasinghap ako sa sinabi nito. Ibig ba niyang sabihin...

"A-are you s-saying that I-i am your m-mate?" Tumango ito at tinitigan ako sa mga mata, ang kulay abo niyang mga mata ay makikitaan ko ng sari-saring emosyon. Nag-aalala, masaya ngunit mas ningingibabaw ang takot.

"Yes, you are my mate, the one who made for me to be with me forever. To have a family with, a future. It's you my darling, it's you." Hinawakan nito ang magkabila kong pisngi at inilapit ang mukha ko sakanya.

"I know what I did was wrong, heck kidnapping is wrong period, but please, please my darling, my life, my mate don't r-reject me. You can be mad at me, punch me, slap me, anything. But please don't reject." Umiiyak na ito at napayuko sa mga hita ko habang nakapulupot ang mga braso sa aking bewang at nananatiling nakaluhod.

"W-what do you mean reject you Dominic? I don't understand." Pilit ko itinataas ang mukha nito saakin pero nanatili lang itong nakayuko at mas humigpit na ang yakap sakin.

"Luna, rejection is the most scary thing that could happen to us. Rejection means you are rejecting the only gift of the Moon goddess by cutting the bond of the two souls. A rejected mate can have a second mate but it's rare or they can go crazy and be a rogue." Muli akong napasinghap doon sa sinabi ni Marcus makikita mo din ang pag-aalala nito hindi lang para sakin kundi sa Alpha nilang nakaluhod sa harap ko.

"The rogue you say? Is it the one that I saw yesterday the huge wolf?" Tumango naman ito at ngumiti ng malungkot wala na ang bakas ng pagiging mapagbiro nito bagkos napalitan ito ng seryosong ekspresyon na ngayon ko pang nakita.

"Pwede bang iwan niyo muna kami ni Dominic." Sabi ko dito at binigyan silang dalawa ng maliit na ngiti.

Tumingin naman ito kay Dominic na ganon parin ang ayos tumango at tahimik na lumabas ng opisina ni Dominic.

"Now, Dominic please calm down." Sabi ko habang hinihimas himas ang ulo nito. "Come on, look at me. I'm not mad anymore okay." Itinaas niya naman ang kanyang ulo at tumingin sa mga mata ko. Kahit nakaluhod ito ay mas matangkad parin ito sakin.

"D-do you want to r-reject me?" May isa namang luha ang kumawala sa mata nito ng itanong niya ito sakin. Umiling ako at pinunasan ito.

How can I reject the most important gift that the world gave to me? This man is crying his heart out and begging me to not reject him. Tell me, who has a heart to do that thing to him? Not me, never.

"No, of course not. I understand why you did what you did. Yes, it's makes me sad because of the method you use to get me but I know you don't have any intentions you just want your mate. You and Storm's mate." Paliwanag ko dito habang patuloy na hinahaplos ang mukha nito.

May maliit na ngiti ang sumilay dito "What did I do to deserve you my queen." Nagkibit balikat lang ako dito at ngumiti.

I also ask the same thing to myself. Maybe I did too much good deed in my past life to have him.

"Can you tell me more about mates, I want to understand you more." Tumango ito at binuhat ako paupo sa hita at nagtungo sa couch ng office niya.

"Mates, like I said earlier is the most important in the life of a werewolves. At the age of eighteen you can already find your mate." Tumitig ito sa mga mata ko at nagpatuloy. " You can tell if you already find your mate by their scent, touch and when you look into their eyes." Napakunot ang noo ko dahil doon. Ibig ba niyang sabihin alam niya na, na ako ang mate niya sa umpisa palang?

"I know what you're thinking, Yes, I already smell your scent the moment I enter the restaurant but I confirmed it when you look me in the eyes."lumaki ang ngiti nito sakin at ikinulong sa mga palad niya ang mukha. "At yon ang pinaka masayang araw para sakin. Ang mahanap ka at makasama ka sa wakas." Inilapit niya ang mukha niya sakin at unti-unting inilapit ang mga labi niya sa labi ko.

"I love you, my mate." Matapos niyang sabihin yun ang hinalikan niya ang mga labi.Napahawak ako sa kwelyo ng polo niya dahil parang nalulunod ako sa mga halik niya. Halik na punong-puno ng pagmamahal at pag-iingat.

Tinapik ko ang balikat niya ng malapit na akong maubusan ng hininga at mukhang narealize niya din iyon. At lumayo sakin ng konti. Parehas kaming kapos sa hininga pagkatapos non pinagdikit niya ang mga noo namin. Mababakas mo ang kasiyahan sa mga mata nito. Mga matang minahal ko. May mga ngiti na sumilay saaming dalawa. Humiwalay ako dito at tinignan ang mga mata nito ng may kuryosidad.

"C-can I meet Storm?"
