This story is a flop :(

"Where are you? Uwi ka na, may ganap dito sa Moonstone Delta." Sabi ni Tanner sa isip ko.

"Anong ganap?" Tanong ko bago tumingin kay Gabe na abalang nagsusulat sa kanyang notebook.

"Party!" Humagikgik siya. "umuwi ka na dahil hanap ka na ni Alpha Pierre. You blocked him, he told me."

Napairap ako. "Ang gulo niya kasi," Sabi ko. "bakit may party dun?"

"Oh, Vanessa, gusto mo bang sumabay sakin maghapunan? My treat." He offered a smile.

"Hello? Nakakalimutan mo na bang birthday ngayon ni Alpha Evan?"

"Oh, shit. Oo nga pala." Napasapo ako sa noo at nakita kong napatingin sakin si Gabe.

"Vanessa, are you okay?" He asked.

I faced him. "Yeah, I felt something crawled on my forehead." Palusot ko.

"Really? Here, I'll take a look." He walked towards me.

Bago pa siya tuluyang makalapit sakin ay tumahol ang lobo ko at napaatras ako ng konte. My Wolf and I didn't like the idea of this human being close to me, us.

"S-Sorry..." I looked away. "it's just—.."

He chuckled which was surprising. He wasn't offended?

"It's fine, I get it. My bad, sorry." He raised both of his hands.

Natawa ako ng mahina. "I'm sorry, too," Sabi ko nalang. "and I can't join you for dinner. I have plans."

"Oh, too bad." He said.

"Pero...what if bukas? Or within this week? I'll just text you." Sabi ko.

What is this, Vanessa Margarette? Angal ng lobo ko.

Relax. Kung palagi kaming magsasama, mas mabilis kong makukuha ang impormasyon na kailangan ko. Pati na rin yung tungkol sa ina niya.

I don't like this. She said.

"Sure," He smiled at me. "I know a place. I can pick you up if you want."

"No, it's okay. I'll drive, I can manage." I smiled back.

"Okay, I'll just text you the address." Sabi niya.

So we exchanged numbers and my Wolf didn't like it. She kept on growling and barking, telling me to stop this plan of mine.

Too bad, I've already started.

Bumalik na ako sa sasakyan at nagmaneho pauwi. Kahit ayokong pumunta sa mga parties, kailangan ko. It's my former Alpha's birthday and I can't miss it. It's quite disrespectful for me not to come. Pwera nalang kung may rason ako.

"Nasa Moonstone Delta ka na?" Tanong ko kay Tanner habang papunta sa kwarto ko.

"Yup," He answered. "pero may mga naiwan pa diyan sa mansyon, sumabay ka nalang sa kanila."

"Yeah," Tipid kong sagot. "may dress code ba?"

"Nah, alam mo namang hindi uso yan basta sa Moonstone Delta, eh. Kahit maghubad ka pa, walang kaso sa kanila." He chuckled.

Natawa din ako habang pumipili ng damit. Ang napili kong suotin ay yung gray sleeveless turtleneck crop top ko, black ripped jeans and boots. I didn't do anything to my hair or face because I was too lazy to do it and I don't really use makeup.

Habang naglalakad ako palabas sa kwarto ko ay nakarinig ako ng katok mula sa pinto. Baka isa yan sa mga lobong naiwan dito sa mansyon, baka sasabay na sakin.

When I opened the door, my jaw slightly dropped. My Wolf howled because of the sight.

It was Pierre. Wearing a dark colored shirt, skinny jeans, boots and leather jacket. Typical bad boy outfit.

"A-Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Tanong ko habang hawak hawak ang pinto.

"I came here to pick you up." He answered before scanning my clothes.

"Akala ko ba nasa party ka na..."

"Bumalik ako." Diretso niyang sagot.

"Bakit? May naiwan ka?"

Ay, ang bobo. Ang manhid. Kumento ng lobo ko.

"I came back here for you, Vanessa," He said before grabbing my hand. "let's go. I'm driving."

"No, thanks. I'll use Tanner's—.." I said before trying to remove his huge hand on mine.

"Wag nang matigas ang ulo, Vanessa." Sabi niya habang hinihila niya ako papunta sa sasakyan.

I frowned at his back. Gusto ko pang makipagtalo but I know I'll lose, plus my Wolf kept on forcing me to just go with him. Landi eh.

Binuksan niya ang pinto ng front seat kaya napataas ang kilay ko. Akala ko ba siya ang magmamaneho?

"You'll sit here? So I'm driving?" Nalilito kong tanong.

He groaned before rolling his eyes. He pulled my closer to him and that made my Wolf howl and my heart pounded like crazy.

"I opened the door for you," He whispered to me. "get in."

"Y-You didn't have to do it..." Mahina kong sabi bago nag-iwas ng tingin.

Nagulat ako nang hawakan niya ang baba ko at inangat ang mukha ko para matingnan ko siya sa mga mata. His eyes turned dark the moment our eyes met.

"But I want to do it." He replied.

"Why?"

"You already know why." Sagot niya agad.

I removed his hand and turned away. I sighed.

"Don't start, Pierre."

"Still can't accept my feelings, Vanessa?" Malambing ang kanyang tono kaya napapikit ako.

Hindi nalang ako sumagot. Sumakay na ako sa kotse pero bago ko masara ang pinto ay pinigilan niya ako.

"I won't give up on you. Kahit ilang beses mo akong itaboy, hahabulin at hahabulin pa rin kita." Sabi niya bago sinara ang pinto.
