Artemis POV

He is my mate. That is the truth.

Pagkatapos kong abutan ng solar eclipse ay ihinatid niya ako sa bahay. Hindi niya ako pinakawalan agad.

"You are mine." he mumbled in his sleep hugging me. Sending butterflies on my stomach

Only mine... My territorial instinct came out because of it.

I never expected that this person beside me is my other half. No need to answer obvious questions. He told me that we have met before, naalala ko ang araw na iyon.

Wondering were are we? Andito sa kwarto ko. Ayaw niyang humiwalay sa akin simula ng nalaman niya ito. Halos ipagtabuyan ko na siya para paalisin but still he comes to my room to rest.

Anak ang tawag niya kay Lucian. Every time na ginagawa niya ito ay nginingitian niya lang ako. He recieves death glare because of it.

"Wake up baka pumasok sila Mama." alog ko sa balikat niya. He hugged me tighter instead of waking up.

"Salem can cover for us." he kissed the top of my head.

Wala talagang galang ang isang ito. Kuya knows as long as walang mangyayaring milagro. He even showed emotion after hearing it.

Feeling ko nga may camera ang collar ng alaga ko kaya alam niya nag ginagawa ko.

"Kuya ko pa din siya, okay?" I tried sitting up but he won't let me.

Noong araw na hindi ako bumalik sa pagiging tao. I growled at him all night. I even took up his whole bed so he can't sleep on it pero nagawan niya ng paaraan.

When morning came hinulog ko siya sa kama. But I regret it afterwards. Where did he buy all of his patience for me?

I chuckled at the memory.

"Your crazy" bulong niya habang nakapikit.

"Then leave..." hamon ko dito.

"Never." he planted a kiss on my temple opening his eyes.

The dog whimpered. Nilagay niya ang sarili sa gitna namin. Somebody's jealous.

"Awww" I stifled a laugh.

"You want your Mom?" tanong niya dito "You can't. She's mine."

Enough butterflies already. Namumula na ang pisngi ko sa mga sinasabi niya.

Apat na katok ang narinig namim sa pinto. Si Kuya.

"Damn it." he cursed under his breath.
His hair is messy when he lift his head.

"I'll get it." tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa bewang ko. "Kuya?"

"Mama's here." scanning me and the bed. His eyes landed on the half asleep figure. "He can comeback tomorrow."

"I'll wake him up." Sinarado ko agad ang pinto pagkatapos. Umupo ako sa kama. Nakaupo na siya ng lapitan ko ito.

"Andito na si Mama she might check on me." though may tiwala naman siya sa akin. I just don't want to break it.

"We'll see each other tomorrow at the training ground." he gave me  a long kiss on the lips. He doesn't have self control.

"Go..." inayos niya ang jacket na suot.
I gave him a quick kiss bago siya lumabas ng bintana.

I fixed the sheets of my bed, the squished pillows. Comb my hair and changed my clothes bago bumaba.

Mama went to the grocery store.

"Do you smell a perfume?" Shit. Ang pabango ni Jared.

"Maybee it's the dog's shampoo." I quipped.

"I sprayed some perfume to the dog." Kuya chimed in "Hindi siya pinaliguan ni Artemis."

I only side glanced at him. Perfumes are bad for dogs but it will pass as an excuse. Tumango-tango si Mama.

After class sumabay ako sa kotse ni kuya. Safe from the eyes of gossip girls at mga etchusarang inggitera.

They both train me at the same time. They keep telling me I'm no ordinary which is true pero babae pa din naman ako.

"Ouch!" napaupo ako sa sahig. One uses a weapon the other a hand-to- hand combat.

Jared gave me an ice pack for my face.

Sila naman dalawa ang maghaharap. They let me rest on the bench. They remove their top, revealing their toned muscles. Isa na lang ang available.

I'm selling my brother for a cheap price anyone interested?

The former gave me a side glance the latter a squinting eyes. I gave them both an innocent smile.

"I don't care if you are my sister's mate." Kuya started.

"I will apologize in advance, Kuya."
Note the sarcasm.

They attack simultaneously. Bloodshed and sweat can be smelled with leather.

Kami na lang ang natitira sa loob ng traning grounds. It is 6:12 pm already baka dito na din kami maghapunan.

They finished at 7:30 pm. Dito na nga kami maghahapunan. Nagmukha tuloy akong water girl dito.

I get dressed on my room. I have some of my clothes here already.

Narinig ko ang pagbubukas ng pinto. His perfume is rubbing on my nose.
Looks like he locked the door.

Self control run out of the window. He kissed me hungrily.

He played with my tongue. Sinabayan ko ang ginagawa ng dila niya. He then slowly kiss my collarbone to the jaw line. Nakahilig na ako sa kama.

A soft moan came out of my lips.

Somebody knock on the fucking door already! Damn it.

His hands hold my hand above my head. I give him an access on my neck.

His keeps teasing me with his kiss.

"I'm all yours..." I said between our kisses.

"...and you are mine." dugtong niya.

Fuck, Jacques Rider!

We were both breathless after that.

Kaya hindi kami pwedeng iwan. We will burn when we are alone.

He rest his head on my shoulder kissing my neck.

He groaned. Control yourself, we don't wanna get caught red handed.

He gave me a kiss on my forehead to the bridge of my nose and my lips. Bago ako itayo. Inayos ko ang buhok niyang gulo-gulo.

I comb my unkempt hair and fixed my clothes.

Sabay kaming bumaba papuntang dining area. Huli siyang bumaba, he is five steps above me.

"Sorry po natagalan ako." we didn't tell his grandfather yet baka mabigla ito.
