The Dangerous Princess: The Blue-Eyed Lady

Chapter 34

Ashton's POV

It was half a day since Ashley passed out. She was exhausted. I can feel how tired she was and the chaotic emotions she was trying hard to conceal. Hindi ako umalis sa tabi niya habang nag-uusap din sa loob ng kwarto ang kan'yang pamilya at ang mga kaibigan ni tita Fiona. Mars and Ley Anne was told to stay in Ley's room. The discussion was harsh and they don't want their last born to be associated with it.

Kahit ako ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari. From those 3 deaths to Blake's head. I stared at it, trying to fathom the fact that he was really dead.

What did those dark witches do to him?

“We should bury Blake's head,” suhesyon ni miss Brieve.

Agad iyong inilingan ni tita Fiona. “No. I won't bury his head six feet under the ground without his body. I need my son's body. Kumpleto kong ililibing ang katawan ng aking anak.”

“Then what are we going to do with it?” si sir Ace.

“Ilalagay ko sa kwarto ni Blake ito. Put it inside an ice cube, Ace. I'll preserve his head until I get his remaining body parts.”

“We lost three important people, Ash, Fion. How are we going to fight those witches?”

Ramdam ko ang kaba ni miss Brieve habang sinasabi iyon. Nakatitig lamang ako sa mukha ni Ashley ngunit nakikinig ako sa kanilang pinag-uusapan.

“And if they already killed Blake, then they have his blood. They are more powerful than us,” segunda naman ni sir Ace.

“I'll fight with you,” biglang imik ni Blaphe na sumama rin dito matapos mabalitaan ang nangyari. Simula kanina ay hindi siya umiimik. Nito lang.

“I'll come, too,” saad din ni Acieve.

Tumango ang mga magulang niya.

“Some students of Magestics Academy and residents of the town will also fight beside us.”

Noon lamang ako lumingon sa kanila. “My pack will help, too,” pahayag ko.

Sabay silang lumingon sa akin.

“Are you sure?” paniniguradong tanong ni tita Fiona.

“It's Ashley's pack, too. They are more willing to help their Luna.”

Sumilay ang maliit na ngiti niya. “I almost forgot that my daughter has a new family now.”

“Well then, Alpha. Talk to them now so that we'll be able to talk about the plan later.”

“But Ashley—”

“We promise to inform you the moment she wakes up.”

Tumango ako at nag-aalinlangang binitiwan ang kamay ni Ashley. Marahan kong hinalikan ang kan'yang noo bago nagpaalam sa mga taong naroon.

I first mindlinked Mars that I'm leaving before going.

Pagkarating ko ay nasa harapan na ng training ground ang lahat. Naipasa ko na ang mensaheng kailangan ko ang lahat sa training ground habang papunta rito kaya hindi na ako nagtaka nang makita silang nanghihintay sa akin.

“Alpha,” bati nila sa akin.

Isang maliit na ngiti at simpleng tango ang sagot ko sa kanila. Pumunta ako sa harapan bago tumikhim at nagsalita.

“I know you're still wondering why you're all here. But this is a very important announcement,” panimula ko.

Sinipat ko muna ang lahat kung may bayolente bang reaksyon. Nang makitang wala ay saka ako nagpatuloy.
