The Fate That Awaits Her (COMPLETED)

35 : Alphas

Zenadia's POV

"Dito na kayo magpalipas ng gabi, bukas na ng umaga tayo pumunta sa alpha" sambit ni Jacob

Walang pasabi namang lumabas ng katawan ko si Vil at tumayo sa harapan namin "I'll just guard this house, then" aniya

"Nasa teritoryo kayo ng mga kalahi namin, ligtas kayo dito"

"It's better to be sure than to take a risk, werewolf" walang emosyon na ani ni Vil at lumabas na ng bahay

"What's got into her?" nalilito na tanong ni Jacob

Hindi ko sya pinansin at naglibot sa loob ng bahay. I understand Vil dahil nabasa ko ang isip nya kanina and she doesn't like Jacob's presence. I don't know exactly why but I guess that's because of their different culture.

Vipers and werewolves lives in different world with different lifestyle. They're both immortals and can live for thousands of years but they never get along, that's just too impossible to happen.

"Hungry?" tanong ni Jacob na nakasunod lang pala saakin

Umiling nalang ako at pumunta sa teresa ng ikalawang palapag ng bahay niya. Hindi halos maulap kaya kitang kita ang mga bituin. Tulad ng unang punta ko dito sa imperyo nila, ang ganda pa din pagmasdan ng langit mula dito.

"You like the stars?" tanong saakin ni Jacob mula sa likuran bago naglakad papunta sa gilid ko

Tinuon ko parehas kong braso sa teresa at tumingala sa langit. Bigla kong naalala na ganito din yung tagpo nang unang araw naming makilala si Jacob.

"Why do history keeps on repeating itself?" mahinang tanong ko at natawa ng kaunti

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

"During our first stay here in your empire, you also asked me the same question" kwento ko and he just listened "You also asked me if I believe in destiny and I just laughed about it. Looks like fate really enjoys playing with us"

Ilang sandaling katahimikan ang bumalot sa kapaligiran. Parehas lang naming dinadama ang malamig na hangin. I don't know if I already forgive him, but I'm sure for one thing, I now understand he lied to me.

"Zen," tawag nya saakin "Tomorrow-- I mean, later when we'll meet the alpha.. are you sure you can handle everything?" tanong nya

Hindi ko sya sinagot at nanatili lang tahimik dahil kahit ako ay hindi ko alam, pati pagsisinungaling at pagpapanggap na kaya ko ay hindi ko magawa. I'm really not sure if I can do this or if I am able to.

"I know you told me not to apologize but I'm sorry for putting you into this trouble, Zen" malungkot na sambit ni Jacob bago huminga ng malalim "It's a battle where no weapon is needed, can we win?"

Nanatili akong tahimik ng ilang segundo bago humarap sakaniya ang ngumiti ng tipid "You know that losing isn't my thing Jacob"

"But this is different Zen. When you fought with Gretphine, you have a small chance of winning that's why you were able to defeated her, pero ngayon.. kahit isang katiting na solusyon na pwede nating gawin ay wala tayong alam" pag papaintindi nya saakin pero tiningnan ko lang sya "Zen.. please understand--"

"And I do understand Jacob, you just need to trust me" pigil ko sakaniya "The bond we have will soon be gone and I'll make sure of it whether by hook or by crook" seryoso kong sabi bago iniwan sya doon

Pumasok ako sa isa sa nga kwarto dito at kaagad na humiga sa kama. Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa kisame hanggang sa sumikat ang araw. Hindi ko magawang makatulog dahil iniisip ko kung paano ko mapipilit ang alpha na alisin ang koneksyon namin ni Jacob sa isa't isa.
