His Gentle Werewolf [BxB] ✓

KABANATA 25

Chattering noises can be heard around the huge garden of the werewolves' den. It's their Alpha's birthday and the atmosphere was very lively. Ethan's parents wanted a grand celebration because it's been a while since they celebrate it together. Ethan refused, iminungkahi niya na sa bahay na lamang sila mag-celebrate.

Alpas gave him a wonderful gift first thing in the morning. The gift was—they did a few rounds of exercise in their room. It was a wonderful birthday gift for Ethan, he was still in pure bliss.

“Halika ka na. Bumaba na tayo,” bulong ni Ethan.

Alpas lazily sat down and he rested his head against Ethan's shoulder.

“Want me to help you get ready?” Ethan questioned while caressing Alpas’ exposed torso.

“Hmn.” Alpas hummed in agreement.

Ethan chuckled deeply. “Okay.”

Binuhat niya si Alpas patungo sa banyo at tinulungan niya itong maligo. Ethan love how the other just keep staring at him with half lidded eyes. He gently traced his mate's body with soap.

He can't help but to lean forward to steal a kiss. Alpas winced a bit because his lips were abused from the earlier activity.

“Gusto mo bang bumaba o magpahinga ka muna?” Ethan asked.

“Sama na ako sa'yo,” Alpas replied.

Ethan smiled. Pagkatapos ay akmang tututlungan niya ring magbihis si Alpas.

“Ako na,” Alpas said with a chuckle.

“Okay. I'll wait for you outside. 'Tapos sabay na tayong bumaba,” sabi ni Ethan bago lumabas ng kanilang kwarto.

After a couple of minutes, they found their way into the garden. May mahabang lamesa na puno ng iba't ibang klaseng pagkain. Lahat ng nadadaanan nila ay binabati nang maligayang kaarawan si Ethan.

Ethan also invited Carlos. Despite the distance, his friend was willing to go. Alpas invited Yahree too.

“Hey. Ba't ngayon ka lang bumaba?” tanong ni Prince pagkakita niya agad kay Ethan.

“Bakit daw, Alpas?” Ethan teased.

Nag-init naman agad ang mukha ni Alpas at dumikit kay Ethan para kurutin ito nang patago.

“Ahh-ouch,” natatawang sambit ni Ethan.

Napataas ang kilay ni Prince sa dalawa na nasa harapan niya. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto, napa-iling na lamang ito.

“Anyway, happy birth-” napatigil siya sa pagsasalita. He took a deep inhale and his brown orbs were immediately replaced with golden. “Mate...” he growled.

“Ethan!”

Carlos' familiar voice was suddenly heard. There's a warrior guiding him and he nodded at Ethan before leaving.

Hindi gumalaw si Ethan sa kaniyang kinatatayuan dahil nakatitig siya kay Prince. He's sure that the newly arrived friend of his was Prince's mate.

“S-sir?” nagtatakang tanong ni Carlos nang makalapit siya kila Ethan.

“Hi,” Alpas said shortly with a slightly awkward laugh.

Magsasalita pa sana si Carlos nang marinig nila ang malalim na boses ni Prince.

“Mate,” Prince repeated.

Napalingon naman agad si Carlos sa direksyon kung saan nanggaling ang boses. He was stunned when he met those golden eyes. He felt a chill down his spine and his fingers trembled a bit. Prince was so excited and he almost pounced at Carlos.
