Teach Me How To Alpha

AFTER 14 - CAVALIER

POV TRAEVON ERIKSSON

For weeks, I was filled with utmost happiness with Caelen, but deep inside me, I know that this bliss is only brief. I previously had relationships before, but they were all nothing compared to my connection to Caelen.

But the funny thing is, both of us are together, but we do not have an official label to each other.

"Traevon, company anniversary sa weekend. Pupunta ka ba? Dima Corp. employee ka naman, 'di ba?" tanong ni Caelen habang nasa loob kami ng unit ko.

Kadalasan ay namamasyal kaming dalawa sa kung saan saan kapag weekend. Minsan naman ay dito siya nagstay sa bahay ko at nanonood lang ng mga movies.

"I am from the Tokyo branch. Hindi ako kasali sa mga ganyang ganap. I am not fond of parties."

"Black tie theme event daw. Sir Ford is asking me to be his date---"

"His date? Kailan ba 'yan? May napili ka na ba na dress?"

"Teka, akala ko ba hindi ka kasama?"

"May sinabi ba ako? Let's go and let us find a fucking dress! I want us to be the best couple in that fucking event!"

Tumawa lang si Caelen na parang nag-eenjoy sa pagseselos ko kay Kuya Lanford. Kapag kasama ko siya, nakakalimutan ko ang problema ko bilang Royal Heir. Nakakalimutan ko na kailangan ko magpakasal sa ibang babae para hindi mangyari ang vision ni First Heir Jedidiah.

"Ang cute mo kapag nagseselos ka!" sabi ni Caelen sabay hawak sa mukha.

"For your information, hindi ako nagseselos kay Kuya Lanford."

"Kahit sabihin ko na niyaya niya ko maging asawa niya noon?" nakangiti na tanong ni Caelen sa akin.

She is enjoying the fact that I am quite jealous of Kuya Lanford. There is no point of denying as I can't even fake my reactions whenever she mentioned my cousin.

"I told you, I am not jealous."

"Eh bakit ka naghuhubad?"

"I am just going to punish a very bad wolf, wolfy-style."

Tumawa lang si Caelen sa sinabi ko. Kapag kasama ko siya, ramdam ko na masaya ako. Parang ayoko na magwakas ang mga oras na magkasama kaming dalawa.

Pagdating ng weekend ay umattend kami ni Caelen ng anniversary party ng Dima Corp. Binati agad ako ni Kuya Lanford nang makita niya ako. Technically, I am part of the Dima Corp., but from a different branch.

Napansin ko agad na nandito ang aking mga Royal Cavaliers na sina Galileo Steiner, Einsten Campbell at Polaris Grayson. The three of them are all working in the Tokyo branch with me.

Royal Cavalier is an elite group in charge of protecting the Royal Heir. Even my sister Traenna Eriksson has her own set of Cavaliers as mandated by the First Heirs.

Ang First Heir na si Meshach Eriksson ang pumipili kung sino ang magiging miyembro ng Cavalier. Nagsimula na bumuo ng Cavaliers noong nagkaroon ng pagbabanta sa buhay ng dating Royal Heir na si Tristan Eriksson, my father.

Galileo Steiner. If I am using the name Von Dimaculungan, he is now using the name Gal Balut. The Direct Heir of the Steiner Family who is capable of visions. He used this moniker as he has a big crush with the Israeli Hollywood actress who played Wonder Woman.

He is the head of my Royal Cavalier and he is now the Vice President of Operations of Dima Corp. Tokyo branch.

Polaris Grayson. My driver, my right hand and one of my most trusted friends. He is using the name Aris Garcia, the Direct Heir of the Grayson Family of Alaska, US. He has a talent to teleport from one place to another, but he can't use his ability while we are posing as employees of my father's company.

Einsten Campbell. The Direct Heir of the Campbell Family of Canada. His father is Elixir Campbell, a known tactician in the Werewolf Family. Teenager pa lang si Einsten at ang pinakabatang miyembro ng Cavalier ko, pero nakatapos na siya ng Masters and Doctorate degree sa Canada.

"Your Highness, this is a pleasant surprise. Hindi namin inaasahan na nandito ka. Party goer ka na pala ngayon?" nakangiti na tanong ni Polaris nang nilapitan ko sila.

"Pleasant surprise, my ass! You are all here because all of you know that I will attend this fucking party."

"Can't blame us. We are born to follow you just like dogs. So how is your date?" dagdag na tanong ni Polaris sabay nguso kay Caelen na kausap ang mga officemates niya.

"Pinadala ba kayo dito ng mga First Heirs para bantayan ako?"

"Nope, we are here of our own accord. We want to see who is the lucky girl who caught the Royal Heir's attention," sagot niya sa akin.

Napansin ko agad ang makahulugan tingin niya kay Galileo at kay Einsten na parang may tinatago sa akin. Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng pag-uusap nang mapansin ko na wala si Caelen sa kanyang table. Hindi na niya kausap ang mga officemate niya kanina. Hinanap ko siya sa buong event hall, pero hindi ko siya makita.

"Polaris, have you seen Caelen?" tanong ko sa kanya habang kumukuha siya ng napakaraming pagkain sa buffet table.

"Dude, mukha ba akong hanapan ng nawawalang aso?"

"Gago, tinatanong ko kung nakita mo! Bigla siyang nawala sa table niya."

"Baka naman nakikipag-usap sa iba. Masyado ka naman possessive. Next time, magbaon ka ng leash para hindi mawala ang pet dog mo."

Hindi ko alam kung nasaan si Caelen pero sigurado ako na hindi siya aalis dito sa event hall ng hindi nagpapaalam sa akin.
