WHEN Sofia was finally left alone in her bedroom, she let herself to lean back against the white pillows on top of her queen-size bed, as a wave of confusion went over her. She wondered whether Zafrix Wolfe would be impressed by her dresses and gowns or not. Napailing siya ng ilang ulit at isinubsob ang mukha sa unan. Mali, mali ang kaniyang naiisip. Ngunit ayaw naman niyang magpatalbog sa babaeng iyon.
Suddenly, at the end of her inner battle, she was starting to hope that Zafrix would never have the opportunity of seeing her in one of those dresses.
That night, after a very boring dinner in the wide dinning room, Sofia went back to her bedroom. Halos hindi siya nakakain nang maayos. Tatlo lamang sila na naroroon sa mahabang kahoy na lamesa na iyon. At kahit na pa nakapag-itan siya kina Amber at Zafrix ay hindi naman napigil niyon ang bibig ng babae para paulanan ng mga walang kuwentang tanong ang lalaki. Zafrix sat on his usual place, at the head of the long oak table, while Sofia sat on his left side. Si Amber naman ay nakaupo sa tabi niya at hindi naubusan ng sabihin, kung kaya naman hindi siya nakakain nang maayos dahil sa inis niya sa babae.
It wasn't long since she had arrived in her room when the door opened. Iniluwa niyon ang presensya ni Zafrix suot ang isang tsokolateng kamiseta at itim na pantalon.
"What now?" tanong niya rito habang pinanonood itong isara ang pinto ng kaniyang kwarto at sumandal doon.
"Is it wrong for me to check on my darling queen?"
Sofia glares at him, kahit na pa naramdaman niya ang pagbusilak ng tuwa mula sa kaniyang dibdib. She had noticed that her mark wasn't stinging lately. Marahil siguro sa halos hindi na niya nalalabanan ang damdamin para rito. Napakabilis man, pero paano ba niya iyon mapipigil? The important thing right now is, her goal remains intact in her heart and mind, yet.
"Just tell me what you want, Zafrix. Wala ako sa mood to play your games," sabi niya at nahiga sa ibabaw ng kama.
"Is that an invitation?" asked Zafrix with a smirk as he stared at her from the wall with his arms crossed. Napansin niyang madalas nitong gawin ang bagay na iyon.
A gesture that symbolizes a defensive stance. At bakit naman kaya?
Naintindihan kaagad ni Sofia ang ibig nitong sabihin. Of course she knew what he always want! The nerve of this man! Agad siyang bumangon mula sa higaan at matalim na tumingin sa lalaki.
His dark eyes bore into hers.
"Will you kindly remove your dangerous presence in my bedroom?"
"Dangerous?" he said slowly, arching a thick eyebrow. "Why dangerous?"
"You know exactly what I mean," she mused.
Zafrix smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. "You wouldn't feel that way if you aren't trying to resist me all the time."
She again felt that fear---fear of the smouldering fire in his grey eyes, making her remember how he almost savage her body days ago. Binawi niya ang tingin mula rito.
"May tumawag sa 'kin kanina, one of my most trusted alphas, si Alpha Lawrence. He just told me about something really interesting," he drawled, his eyes keenly watching her reaction.
He immediately saw something crossed in her green eyes as soon as Marianne heard what he said. Maybe what Alpha Lawrence and Luna Cyan have told him is true. At kailangan niyang malaman ang totoo.
