DAYS turns to weeks. And weeks turns to months. Candace still haven't introduced Dale to her parents even if they already know that they are already into a relationship.
While on the other hand, Dale cannot reveal his true identity to Candace because of fear. Fear that Candace will be scared of him. Ayaw niyang mangyari 'yon.
But the fear that Dale was feeling was actually causing Candace to suspect Dale that he's hiding something.
Dale was in his office and massaging his temple when the door opened.
"What is it, dad?" he asked his father without looking at him. Naramdaman niya ang presensiya nito.
"Son, are you okay?" Nag-aalalang tanong ng ama ni Dale. He can see his son being stressed.
Umiling si Dale. "I don't feel good, dad." Sumandal siya sa swivel chair na kinauupuan.
"What's the matter?" Dave asked and placed the tray on the table. "Kumain ka na muna. I heard that you haven't eaten anything at dinner. Lunch time na ngayon, Dale. Huwag mong gawin 'to sa sarili mo, anak."
"Wala akong gana, dad." Sabi ni Dale habang nakasandal sa kinauupuan.
Dave sighed and shook his head. "Was it because of your mate?"
Nagmulat ng mata si Dale saka tumingin sa ama. "Dad, I wanted to reveal my identity to Candace but I couldn't. Natatakot ako, dad."
"Anak, normal naman na makaramdam ka ng takot. It's part of our life."
Nangalumbaba si Dale sa mesa pero tinapik ng ama niya ang braso niya. "Don't do that in front of the food, Dale."
"Sorry, Dad." Bumalik si Dale sa pagkakasandal sa upuan.
Napailing na lang si Dave habang nakatingin sa anak. Mukha talagang wala itong gana. Halata naman. "Dale, it's part of our life to feel scare but we must face our own fear."
Umiling si Dale. "Candace is a nice girl, dad. Her parents were rogue but I know she doesn't know about their identity. And who I am to reveal my identity to her?"
Hindi alam ni Dave kung kukutusan ba niya ang anak niya o ano. "Dale, you're the Alpha of Midnight Pack. I didn't teach you to be weak. Face your fear, son."
Bumuntong hininga lang si Dale. Pero natigilan siya nang marinig niyang makaamoy siya ng dugo.
"Son, you know that –" biglang tumayo si Dale kaya napatigil si Dave sa pagsasalita. "Dale, what's wrong?"
Hindi sinagot ni Dale ang ama niya. "Muffin." He muttered then he dashed off.
Dave sighed. "Muffin? Who's that?" Napailing siya saka kinuha ang pagkain na hindi ginalaw ni Dale at lumabas ng Alpha's office. "Muffin, I should ask Kian to buy some."
CANDACE wanted to walk so she went into the woods. It was weekend. Her parents weren't home. Nasa shop ang Daddy Cameron niya habang may pinuntahan namang event ng school ang Papa Niel niya kaya naman naiwan siyang mag-isa kaya naisipan niyang maglakad pero dinala siya ng paa niya sa kakahuyan na malapit sa kanila.
Nagtaka lang siya nang marinig niya ang angil at ilang putok ng baril sa hindi kalayuan. Hindi na ito bago dahil may ilang mga hunters ang nagagawi sa lugar nila at pinapatay ang mga hayop na nakikita nila.
Candace was surprised when she heard a loud thumping on the ground, as if it was beating a drum. Then later she saw wolves running towards her direction.
Wolves?
Nasa lima ang mga ito na tumatakbo sa direksiyon niya. Nakarinig siya ulit ng putok ng baril. Inisip niya kaagad na baka ang mga lobong 'to ang hinahabol kaya tumatakbo ang mga ito.
