Reclaim Me, Alpha Ajax

Kabanata 3

Kabanata 3: Mate

We're locked. Totally fucked up. Regardless, a menacing smell started to linger in my nose.

"Can you smell that, Erityia?" I asked my wolf.

Erityia replied. "I do. Do you also think what I'm thinking, Anya?"

Ayaw ko mang isipin ang bagay na iyon, ngunit sobrang tapang at sobrang lapit ng kanyang amoy. Hindi ko matukoy kung isa ba siya eksakto, ngunit ang tiyak ng aking lobo at ako ay nasa paligid lamang siya at nagmamanman.

My baby, Greta, was sleeping in my arms while I was patting her arms softly. She was sleeping soundly and I already knew she was hungry.

"Mommy..." she whined.

I saw a small bed just right behind and decided to place my daughter on top of it. As I was busy fixing her bed, I suddenly heard the lock behind fell down on the ground. Ibig sabihin, mayroong tao ang nag alis ng kandado.

When I glanced back, I saw a figurine of a hunk man, standing next to door but his face was vague and I can't see his face much.

"Mate!" Erityia said which made my whole body tremble.

"Do you think he was really our mate?"

"He is! I could smell him so does you! He's our mate Anya! Ask him to help us leave here!"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganon kabilis at nakilala ko kaagad ang papalit kay Alpha Ranger. Slowly, the man in front started to walk towards us, showing himself as he was wearing a plain black shirt who handsomely hugging his muscles along with his tight jeans and boots.

I stood up, trying to cover for my daughter until my face has been touched by the small light outside.

"Come out the cell. The door was no longer locked," he stated.

Maging ang kanyang boses at tono ng pananalita ay nakakatakot. Tila ba nababagay sa malalaki niyang katawan ito kung saan iisipin mo nang kayang-kaya ka niyang patayin sa isang iglap.

I did what he said. I was so curious to see him, to recognize his face and see what he looks like.

"Do you think he recognized me, Erityia?" I asked my wolf through my mind as we could only communicate through it.

"Surely, he does. Kailangan, Anya. So go, make a move and ask him to save you."

I gulped. As I opened the cell where we currently at, doon ko na siya nakita sa may pintuan. He was standing, glancing at me with fire in his eyes. Umani ng kaba ang aking katawan. Tumayo ang aking mga balahibo nang makita ko kung paano niya ako tinignan mula ulo hanggang paa.

"What happened to you?" those were the words he uttered out of his mouth.

I bit my lower lip. "A-Are you really my... m-mate?" I stuttered out of embarrassment.

The man walked toward where I was deliberately. Until I felt him pushing me on the wall, holding my waist as he pinned me on it, pressing his lips on to mine.

This wasn't the expectation I was looking for. I hust prayed to the Moon Goddess to give me the love I deserved but she was too fast, giving me the second chance mate I was about to wish for. His kisses were overwhelming, he was eating my lips out as if he has been longing for me.

I pushed him a bit when I heard my daughter groaning, wanted to cry. I immediately went back inside the cell as I saw her facing the wall already. Greta wasn't crying at all.

"Who is she?" said by the man behind.

Damn. How can I tell her she was my daughter?

I glanced back, biting my lower lip as I could feel that he was about to step forward. "Touch her or I'm going to kill you." I spit out.

He scoffed. "I'm your mate. And judging how you look today, it seems like I should be the one who will kill you."

I scowled. "Sure, it would be my pleasure if I get killed!"

Due to what I said, my wolf, Erityia meddled with our conversation. "What are you saying, Anya? Stupid!"

I chewed hard as my jaw clenched.

The man came inside, glancing at my sleeping daughter.

"Who is she?"

"M-My daughter..."

He cranned his neck and then pursued his lips. "So you're the one they were saying. I see..."

"Help us!" I spat out of desperation.

Nanatili akong nakatayo sa kanyang harapan, pilit na humihingi ng tulong gamit ang aking mga mata. Alam kong malabo ngunit hindi ako susuko.

"So you're a rouge..." he implied.

No words came out my lips. 

"Did I just kissed a rouge? Fuck..." he muttered huskily.

"We just turned one!" I stated. "I left my old pack along with my daughter because they weren't treating us well. I accepted my former mate's rejection and then became mateless! We're harmless, believe me..." I almost pleaded, kneeling in front of me so that he could spare us.

Gusto kong umiyak. Kailangan ni Greta nang pagkain. She's already hungry earlier at ngayon, nakatulog na kahit pa hindi kumakain. My baby and I needed a shelter. If this man can't get us out, then it will be the end of us.

My mate held my arm, assisting me to get up.

"Damn," he said softly.

"Help us..."

A single tear came out from my eyes. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin pa kung sakali mang talikuran niya ako. For sure, he wanted to reject me but why the hell he was being quiet?

"How come you had a daughter?" he inquired using his frigid voice.

"I w-was an omega... and my mate back then was an alpha. My father accidentally killed his father and was punished until I die. I became the slave of the pack and my former mate bedded me—" I was derailed off.

"He bedded you— did I fucking hear it right?"  his grip on my hand tightened causing me to squirm. "He bedded you, huh? Did you want it?"

"Of course n-not! He was f-forcing me e-everytime! I feel dirty and a woman like me wouldn't e suitable for a nobleman like you. That's why I understand if you're g-going to reject me because I was used, became a sex slave and dirty woman! Yet here I am, standing across you and asking for mercy! Take us out... and then I will never come back."

Hindi siya kumibo. Dumilim lalo ang kanyang mga mata pagkatapos nang aking sinabi. I was crying, all I want was a proper shelter and pack who was able to accept us, treating us right. But it seems like the Gods and Goddesses above also wants me to suffer.

"I'm disappointed," he stated. "I'm disappointed that my mate was already a mother. Regardless, it was fucking making me angry that instead of staying by my side, you even want me to reject you... let you runaway from me!"

"Because I know that's what you want—"

"That's not the thing I fucking want! Goddamn it!"

Because of his thunder-like voice, my daughter cried. Isabay mo pa ang nagbabadyang ulan sa labas. Naririnig na namin ang kulog mula sa loob ng selda. Nagtungo ako kung nasaan ang aking anak. I tried to calm and hugged her whilst she was laying on the bed.

It is when Greta opened her eyes. She hugged me so does I. My baby was scared of thunders and she couldn't sleep if it keeps going like this.

"Get your daughter then follow me. We're leaving."
