Alpha Keanu (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 22

NAGISING kinabukasan si Ava na masakit ang leeg. Hindi pa man ito bumabangon napahawak na ito sa sarili nitong leeg saka napangiwi. Ava closed her eyes again and silently cussed Keanu in her mind. And speaking of Keanu... nagmulat ng mata si Ava saka tinignan ang katabing espasyo pero wala na doon si Keanu. There is only note left.

'Baby, I badly wanted to see you awake but I need to attend an urgent meeting with my co-alphas. I promise to be with you after this damn meeting.'

Hindi alam ni Ava pero napangiti na lang ito sana inilagay ang note sa bedside table. Then Ava heard a knocked from her door.

"Ate?"

"Bakit?" tanong ni Ava. Mahina lang ang boses niya pero alam niyang narinig ito ng kapatid niya. Alden is a hunter after all. Hunters had sharp hearing.

"Papasok ka ba sa trabaho?" tanong ni Alden mula sa labas ng pinto.

Ava tried to get up but she felt like that her energy was drained. Hindi niya kayang bumangon. What the hell happened to me?

Napabuga ng hangin si Ava saka tumingin sa may pinto. "Hindi."

"Okay ka lang ba, ate? Pwede ba akong pumasok?"

"Come in."

Bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ni Ava at pumasok si Alden. "Ate." Agad na nag-alala si Alden nang makita ang kalagayan ng kapatid nito. "Ate, you looked like hell." Komento ni Alden.

Inirapan ni Ava si Alden. "Can you help me up?"

Kumunot ang nuo ni Alden saka nilapitan ang kapatid. Tinulungan niya ang kapatid na bumangon saka pinasandal ito sa headboard ng kama. Hindi nakaligtas sa mata niya ang marka na nasa leeg ng kapatid. Natigilan si Alden at napatitig sa leeg ng kapatid. "Ate, did Alpha Keanu mark you?" he asked even the answer is already obvious.

Ava sighed and nodded her head.

"I can see it." Napailing si Alden. "Was it rough?" he grinned.

Mabilis na piningot ni Ava ang tainga ng kapatid. "Ikaw, 'yang bibig mo."

Tumawa lang si Alden saka tinanggal ang kamay ng kapatid na nasa tainga nito. "Ate, masakit."

Binitawan ni Ava ang tainga ni Alden. "Umalis ka na nga kung aalis ka na," sabi ni Ava. Tinignan niya ang suot ng kapatid at nakitang nakabihis na ito.

Umayos ng tayo si Alden. "Talagang aalis na ako, Ate. May iniwan pala kaming pagkain sa mesa. Should I bring it here or you will go to the kitchen by yourself? But given to your condition right now, I think we really need to bring the food here."

Kumunot ang nuo ni Ava. "We?"

"Yep. It's Elijah. Maaga siyang nandito. And he's the one who cook for breakfast." Ngumiti si Alden. "Hindi naman kasi ako marunong magluto, Ate."

Parehong napatingin si Alden at Ava sa may pinto nang may kumatok.

"Luna, can I come in?" Elijah asked carrying the tray of food.

"Come in."

Pumasok si Elijah saka yumukod kay Ava. "Good morning, Luna."

Tumango si Ava.

Kinuha naman ni Alden ang hawak ni Elijah at inilagay ito sa bedside table. There is waffles, pancakes, French toast and milk. One of Ava's favorite foods for breakfast.

"Elijah, you're older than me. Just call me by my name." Aniya.

"Luna, I dare not." Elijah said. "I can smell Alpha's scent on you and I saw the mark on your neck. The mark on your neck will tell that you have the same power as Alpha Keanu now." Yumukod si Elijah. "Though you are Alden's sister, you are also the Luna. Disrespecting you means death."
