SENA

Fighting our way through got easier.

At kahit hindi sabihin ni Nica, alam kong ayaw din n'ya na gumalaw ako masyado. Alam ko ding isa s'ya sa naging sobrang masaya nung nakumpirma na buntis ako. I've never seen her that happy despite living with her in the same house for over two centuries.

"Nica...you do know who's here, right?"

Saglit akong binalingan ni Nica ng tingin at tumuloy sa pagwasiwas at pagpugot ng mga kalaban gamit yung scythe n'ya.

"I know."

Yun lang ang isinagot n'ya. Ang dami ko sanang gustong itanong sa kan'ya para malaman kung pareho ba kami ng naiisip sa mga nangyari o hindi. Kaso hindi ito yung oras para doon.

Kasisipa ko pa lang sa kalaban ko nang tumaas yung balahibo ko sa batok. Pumihit agad ako sa kanan at parang gumapang yung natago kong galit nang makita yung mukha ni Nora. The 8th Royal Class Vampire who angered me to the point of unconsciously killing a family of three humans.

"Ho???" She laughed with amusement. "I can sense two heartbeats from you. Buntis ka? Buti pinatulan ka? O baka init lang ng katawan?"

Parang biglang nandilim ulit yung paningin ko. Pero hindi ko hinayaang makontrol ako ng galit ko.

The first and last time I encountered Nora, she angered me the same way. She mocked that Werewolves value Mates so much but my Mate may reject me once he knew I was his mate. Anger controlled me that time that I didn't notice she was shielding herself from my attacks using the frail bodies of the humans I was trying to save.

At kung magpapadala ako sa galit, baka hindi ko mamalayan yung ginagawa n'ya. This bloodsucking pest is a dirty player. And I will not let her lay a hand near my baby.

Nora was about to attack when she halted. But it wasn't just her who stopped. Everyone—even Doc. Shiela, Vera, Nica, and I did. Footsteps of an individual echoed in the hall as the fighting died down. It was coming from behind Nora whose eyes were now wide and I can sense her shaking from fear.

The other Vampires were the same and the Ruby Soldiers were staring at whoever was walking with wide eyes.

"Nora," a disembodied voice called and Nora flinched.

I felt my hand beginning to shake but I gripped my spear's handle tighter to keep it from shaking. Soon enough, a guy with pitch black hair came into view.

He had an emotionless face and cold aura was surrounding him. One that even I felt to fear it.

No one. No one ever made me afraid by just walking to my direction—not even Glen's father who has the aura of a commander.

My free hand instinctively laid over my flat belly and I almost flinched when the brooding guy's eyes landed on me. He only wore a white dress shirt tucked in a black slacks and leather shoes but he was intimidating.

"Go and aid Layton in his area."

At that order, Nora was gone in a blink of an eye. And now this guy, was walking towards me. Every step he took brings him closer to me.

Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko.

"A-ate."

"D'yan ka lang." May babalang sabi ko kay Nica.

Natauhan din ako sa pagtago sa akin ni Nica kaya nagawa ko na ring tingnan ng masama 'tong nasa harap ko. Ito yung unang beses na nakita ko s'ya, pero sigurado ako. Si Zelus Michaelis 'to.
