Selene

Chapter 29

"Howls' point is missing along with the black rose. It is said that the howls point was stolen by one person and the black rose were not only one but a group." Beta Klaus said while seriously sitting in front of Alpha Zach's table, the latter remain emotionless.

"The information is still incomplete though. Walang may alam kung sino-sino ang mga 'to. But I can tell who's the black rose thieves were since sila lang naman ang matagal ng nag-aasam na makuha ito sa Royalties. The other thief is. . . we don't know. He or she is still unknown." Saad naman ni Jana na nakaupo sa tabi ko. Tumago si Beta Klaus at tila ba sumang-ayon ito sa sinabi niya.

"She's right Alpha. Those black rose's theives were too vulgar, they leave their mark and traces just to tell it was them. Nag-iwan sila ng palaso na may markang D.A, initials for Dead Arrow. Sinadya talaga nilang malaman ng lahat ang pagkakuha nila sa Black Rose. Tch! Show off."

"And they're so proud huh, dahil sa wakas nakuha na nila ang matagal na nilang gustong makuha. I guess, royal guards aren't good enough. Akala ko pa naman advance ang kanilang training kesa sa'tin and most of them are intelligent, but then, they got outsmarted by those criminals. Tsk! Tsk!" Tila nanunuya namang saad ni Jana sa dalawang lalaki. Napakurap ako sa kanya.

Alpha Zachary was gawking somewhere while i'm trying to absorb what was going on. My head literally snapped back-and-fourth by these two, Janalyn and Beta Klaus, as they were talking non-stop. Ang hindi ko lang makuha ay ang kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nila, ni hindi lo nga rin alam kung bakit ako nandito. I just got out of place!

Gustohin ko mang pumagitna sa pag-uusap nila para sabihin na nandito ako kasama nila at hindi ko maintindihan ang mga pinagsasabi nila ay 'di ko magawa, they are too serious to be interrupted. I can feel they're talking an important matter and I can't just interject in between. That's disrespect.

"Are they making a move now or what?" Tanong ni Beta Klaus kay Jana.

"Nagsasagawa pa lang ng plano. King Florentino send a request for my presence tomorrow and said that it's urgent. Warrior Palaiz will come with me the day after tomorrow, also Selene. I'm taking them with me, ok lang po ba sainyo Alpha?"

Biglang napatingin sa'kin si Zachary kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin. Hindi ako nagvolunteer ha, si Jana ang may gustong sumama ako! I heard him sigh saka tumikhim.

"Go on and bring one more warrior, Janalyn. It's risky to bring one, mas mabuti nang maging maingat. Dead Arrow are still on loose, lalo na ngayon na nasa sakanila ang Black Rose. Attacks were much more anticipated this time."

Should I raise my hand? I'm not needed in here. Their attention wasn't on me but the topic. Kaya habang nag-uusap sila ay pasimple akong tumayo saka dahan-dahan na tumalikod patungo sa pinto.

"Yes, Alpha." Narinig kong sagot ni Jana.

I inch closer to the door, almost not breathing.

"Good. Also, bring Klaus with you and.." My hands grasp the door knob and slowly turning it. "Ms. Selene, we are not yet done talking. Get back here."

Mabilis kong nabitawan ang nakabukas ng pinto at humarap sa kanila. "Are we?" I'm confused. Kasali pala ako?

He nodded, "Yes. Now, sit down and wait 'til we're done.." Sabay turo sa upuang kakaabandona ko lang.

Uminit ang pisngi ko sa hiya at kagat labi'ng bumalik sa kinauupuan bago tinapunan ng tingin ang dalawa. They're smiling from ear to ear as if they are happy I got busted lalong lalo na si Beta Klaus. Taas baba ang kanyang kilay at mapang-asar pa na ngumiti nang makita niyang nakatitig ako sa kanya. Iritable ko siyang pinaikotan ng mata. Sarap sapakin.
