[Catherina Nixon]

I earned a few human friends besides Jared and Zana. And whenever I tell those other friends of mine the things I had to endure to chase Patch, they will always say that I am a fool.

"Nasa maling tao ka, Catherina."

"Maganda ka naman bakit ba naghahabol ka sa isang lalaking sinasaktan ka lang?"

I couldn't answer them because they were oblivious about having a mate in the werewolf race. But now, I think I have the answers for them.

Nasa maling pagtrato, hindi sa maling tao.

Kaya kong magdesisyon para putulin ang mate bond namin. Kaya kong wakasan ang masasakit na ipinaramdam sa akin ni Patch. Pero nakita ko pa rin na pinahalagahan niya ako kahit madumi akong babae.

He may deny it but whenever I couldn't handle my problems to live as a rogue and to blend into the human society. . . he would suddenly appear around me. He may be miles away but he made sure that I could see him. It was my comfort and it warmed my heart.

What made me love him even more is the fact that he hated me yet he didn't, even for once decided to cut our ties. He already saw how dirty and broken I am. He didn't try to fix me because I know-we somewhat know that I am the only one who can fix myself. If I was not a coward to do it.

Patch may be harsh and hard to understand but he was kind. I can see how caring he is to his friends, especially to Jared.

Siguro nga halimaw kami sa paningin ng mga tao dahil nagbabago ang anyo namin at may pagka bayolente kapag hindi makontrol ang aming emosyon. Pero isa sa kagandahan ng lahi namin ay ang pag ibig.

We do not have to try every person we meet. We don't get confused between attraction and love.

Habang hindi pa nahahanap ang nakatadhana sa amin ay makakaramdam kami minsan ng atraksyon sa iba, kalahi man namin o hindi. Nasa amin na rin kung gugustuhin naming sumubok ng iba hanggat hindi pa natatagpuan ang itinadhana sa amin.

But the moment we felt the pull, no one would make us crave but our mate.

The pull that made me believe that there is such a thing called true love.

Nang matagpuan ako ni Patch ay doon ako nagsisi na pinabayaan ko ang aking sarili na hayaan and ibang lalaki na galawin ako. Na sana, naghanap ako ng mas maraming trabaho para kumita ng pera.

It's been a decade since we met. His harsh words, kisses and tormenting words were so vivid to me up to this day. He had the power to cut our ties and destroy me for hurting him but he didn't.

He remain single like me. He may use other women to mess up with my head. But in the end, I discovered the truth. I confronted those women because I am still entitled to get jealous. They said that Patch used them to be his shield whenever I was around.

They were pissed off to know it too but who wouldn't want to be close to a handsome young man. I couldn't blame them.

But one thing I knew is that he liked Rain Castanova. He might not have said it but I could see how he cared for her. I can feel the bitterness everytime I remember it. But we both know that Rain is madly in love with her mate despite everything.
