His Rejected Luna (Howl Series #2)

CHAPTER 11

REGRET

I REPLACED THE withering flowers in the vase as soon as I returned home. The plants I intended to bring back to the pack house are then placed in a new container.

It's almost lunch, hindi ko namalayan na sobrang tagal ko pala sa kakahuyan. Pero ayos lang. Napag-usapan naman namin ni Ida na pagkatapos ng tanghalian na kami babalik sa pack house.

After lunch, I returned to my room and cleaned myself. It was almost noon when I began preparing the items I would bring to the pack house. I also made certain that all of the doors and windows were locked.

I was about to leave when I heard horses. When I opened the curtains, I saw a carriage outside. My brow furrowed in puzzlement, so I dashed outside to see who had arrived.

Kasabay ng paglabas ko ng bahay ay ang pagbukas ng pinto ng carriage. My jaw dropped when I realized who came out.

The Alpha of Crimson Pack, looking so fresh and rough with his white fitted t-shirt, paired with ripped jeans and his signature brown leather boots.

Ngayon ko lang siya nakita na ganito ang suot. Kadalasan kasi ay long sleeve shirt ang suot niya at fitted jeans.

As I watched him slowly walk toward me, I noticed how his jaw clenched. My heart then began to thump wildly as if it wants to acknowledge his presence.

"A-Alpha D-Drago... what brings y-you here?" I asked the moment he came closer.

Nagtaas siya ng kilay bago sumagot. "Good morning to you as well," he uttered with sarcasm.

Nahihiyang nagiwas ako ng tingin dahil sa sinabi niya. I breathe in and cleared my throat before speaking. "I'm sorry, good morning, Alpha Drago," I greeted, smiling. "Bakit po kayo nandito?" ulit ko sa unang tanong.

He licked his lips and clenched his jaw before answering me. "Aren't you going to invite me inside?" he asked roughly.

I stilled but shortly expressed my apologies before leading him inside our house.

My heart has been pounding loudly since I saw him emerge from the carriage, and it doubled when both of us finally entered our house. I considered asking him the same question for the third time but decided not to. Instead, I stood still and waited for him to tell me what he wanted while watching him wander around our small house.

When I saw him gently touching the roses I had picked earlier in the woods, a small smile crept across my lips.

Mukhang paborito rin niya ang rosas.

"Ah, ikukuha ko po kayo ng tubig," paalam ko sa kanya.

I bit my lower lip in frustration as I looked around the kitchen. I'd like to offer him something other than water, but we don't have any cooked food except the cookies I brought for Danae. Kaunti lang kasi ang niluto ko kanina.

Left with no choice, I took some cookies and head back to the living room.

"Alpha Drago, uminom po muna kayo. I also brought some cookies if you want," sabi ko sabay latag ng tubig at plato sa lamesa.

As the Alpha sat down, our wooden seat creaked. His knees were lightly brushing the edge of the table in front of him due to his long legs. As I watched him with irritation on his face, I bit the tip of my tongue to keep from laughing. He's trying to find the right position so that his knees wouldn't touch the table.

Gusto ko pa sana siyang pagmasdan pero baka mahuli niya ako kaya kumilos ako para hilahin ang maliit na lamesa palayo sa kanya. At dahil malayo na ang lamesa ay malayo na rin sa kanya ang tubig at platong pinaglagyan ko ng cookies kaya ako na ang kumuha ng baso para ibigay sa kanya.
