Aldeheid

Chapter 23

Alpha's order
——————————————————————

Harrison has been prepared ever since the day luck got Cartenia's back. He knew that it would come a day that their paths will meet again, and he detected that it will only happen once Callum find his happiness. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ay hindi niya rin inasahan na ganito pa ang mangyare sa isang normal na tao, kay Aldeheid.

It is still a mystery to them about how the blood link happened. Elders said that it will only happen when a human and a hybrid share their blood. Ikatlong kaso na ito na nangyare sa kaniyang pagkakaalam ngunit kahit ibig niya mang itanong sa mga nauna ay hindi niya pa rin magawa sapagkat hindi sa henerasyon nila ito nangyare. And even if he asks other people, he'll likely to get nothing at all. That's how rare and forbidden blood links.

Harrison raised his gaze towards the light blue sky upon hearing the knock on the door. Doves crossed his sight which made him inhaled deeply.

How ironic is it to see freedom amidst war.

He swore that he was ready, but remembering everything he had witnessed passed years ago simmered his wants to avenge. Bago pa man tuluyan niya itong maramdaman ay humarap na siya sa kakapasok na mga kaibigan niya.

"She's asking war." bungad ni Callum sa kaniya, dalawang kilay na nagtagpo sa gitna.

Romeo countered, "You asked her war." emphasizing Callum what he has done.

"She provoked me." Callum defended.

"Because you disrespected her." Romeo, for the second time, emphasized.

The short-tempered Callum has shown, but has not yet find the reason to give up, "Well, she disrespected Malcolm first!"

"But choices of yours to show respect was indeed high before you impulsively took everything out of anger and perhaps, control?," Romeo with a blank face stated resulting Callum to kick his leg from the back.

"Sino ba ang kakampi mo dito, ha?," annoyed as Callum was before they faced the more annoyed Harrison.

Pero dahil kaibigan ay pinalampas niya nalang ito. "I already alarmed the force. They must have spread out by now, guarding every edge of Malcolm." aniya bago nilapag ang isang lumang litrato sa mesa, "This was the location the bears always attack, the opposite of your mom's ho—" Harrison immediately coughed when he heard Callum's groan, "Cartenia's home rather. But we should not be complacent because we never know Cartenia's whereabouts the past years; she might have connections in the town or worse, someone in the authority."

Romeo nodded, "I shall protect the alpha's mate at all costs." aniya bago nginiwian ng dalawa.

"My wife isn't weak. You shall be assigned to protect Miss Roswell instead." pasimpleng tango naman ang ginanti niya kay Harrison.

"Hindi na kailangan, andito naman ako." pagtagpo ng kilay ni Callum sa gitna.

The alpha groaned and did not consider. The fact that there was something going with the beta and a human brings no good during war with each other's company. Kaya mabuti nalang at dito niya itinalaga si Thornton, kahit papaano ay may makakapigil kay Callum sa oras na mawalan ito ng control.

"Do you consider of locking Miss Roswell when she's not with herself?"

Napatigil doon ang beta sa tanong. Callum then remembers the news about the death of the bear. Maging ang alpha man ay hindi rin makapaniwala sa nangyare. If only Claudette never told them what she saw, posibleng magdadalawang-isip sila sa tinapat ng nakakatandang anak ng Gleens. But then it already came from Claudette and there's no way this woman can lie, she just can't.
