They say that being soft-hearted can be manipulated because they are weak and pathetic. Underestimated for they are helpless that everyone disregards them. However, it doesn't mean that they can't take the privilege to fight back for themselves.


Napadaing ako nang biglang sumakit ang balikat ko kung nasa'n ang birthmark ko. I felt so weak knowing that my stomach is empty when Mavis took me out of the Academy. My eyes are so tired that I couldn't open it even a little. My body was paralyzed maybe because of my wounds and bruises. Pati ang paghinga ko ay hinahabol ko na rin dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman ko.

"P-Please... give me something to eat. I-I'm getting weaker and weaker," paos kong bulong habang nakapikit pa rin.

"Anong pagkain ang ibibigay natin sa kanya? Namumutla na siya at baka mamatay sa gutom. Marami pa siyang sugat sa katawan na mukhang sariwa pa," boses ng babaeng lobo na nagligtas sa'kin kagabi.

"Hayaan mo siya, Alexia. Hindi natin siya kauri at mas lalong hindi natin siya kilala. Paano kung patayin lang din siya ng iba pang mga nilalang dito sa Ivoire?!" pagalit naman na sagot ng lalaking kausap niya.

I-Ivoire? I'm here in the forbidden spot in Hydera Penha? Oh god!

"Goethe! Muntik na siyang patayin ng mga black vampires na nagkalat sa gubat malapit sa Academy. Kung hindi pa ako dumaan do'n para kumuha ng mga gamot ay pinagpyestahan na siya ng mga bampirang 'yon. At mukhang estudyante siya ro'n kaya isasauli ko na lang siya mamaya."

Kahit masama ang pakiramdam ko ay sinubukan ko pa rin na idilat ang mga mata ko para makita sila. They didn't notice that I'm awake because they kept on arguing about me. When I wandered my eyes around, I found out that I was lying in a wooden bedroom with feathers as a sheet. Nasa loob ako ng isang kubo na gawa sa dayami pati na rin ang sahig.

"Are you crazy?! Kaya nga tayo gabi lumalabas dahil hindi tayo pwedeng makita na pakalat-kalat. At paano kung sabihin niya sa mga nando'n na tinulungan siya ng isang lobo?! Magkakagulo na naman."

"N-Nagugutom na po ako. Can I have some food?" nanghihina kong tanong dahilan para sabay silang mapalingon sa'kin.

The girl named Alexia come near me and held my forehead."Mainit ka, mukhang may sakit ka yata. Just stay here and I'll get your food so that you could eat."

I slowly nodded and turned my gaze to the guy named Goethe when Alexia whispered something to him. Lumapit siya sa'kin na wala man lang reaksyon ang mababasa sa mukha niya. I can't determine if he's mad or angry at me but the way he answered Alexia earlier, he doesn't like me.

"Paano ka napunta rito sa mundo namin?! Hindi ka namin kauri," seryoso niyang sambit kaya parang sinakal ang puso ko.

I gave him a weak smile as I close my eyes to stop the tears from flowing down to my cheeks."Kahit saan naman dito sa lugar niyo, walang may gusto sa'kin. But don't worry, I understand why. Actually, no one knows how much I wanted to go back to my world but they don't let me. Tapos kapag nanatili naman ako rito, pangungutya lang ang palaging inaabot ko."

"This world is full of favoritism, just so you know. Kapag mahina ka at walang alam ay hindi ka gusto ng lahat. And this place where you're staying right now is the forbidden spot that no one is allowed to enter. Tapos ngayon ay kasama mo ang mga nilalang na kinamumuhian ng lahat," mapait siyang ngumiti at nababakas do'n ang sakit.

Baka nga dito ako kabilang kase lahat naman kinamumuhian ako.

"Saang grupo ka kabilang? Hindi ka naman mukhang masama."

Napatawa naman siya sa sinabi ko at umiling pa."I'm Goethe, a werewolf. And that girl earlier is my sister, Alexia. What's your name?"

So, they're one of the members of my grandfather's pack. I'm very glad to meet them but I can't tell them who I am. Without my cousin's permission or my uncle's, I'll keep everything as a secret... for now.
