The Alpha King's Luna

CHAPTER 20: CHOOSE

Chapter 20: Choose

Lucia's POV

Naalimpungatan ako at napatingin sa paligid. Bloody red walls and dark wood furnitures. I'm in an unfamiliar room. 

Napalingon ako sa gilid ko nang may maramdaman akong pag galaw. Nakita ko si Morgan na nakapikit at nakapatong ang ulo sa kamang hinihigaan ko. He's also holding my hand tightly. I looked at the clock on the bedside table. 5:06 am. Ganon ako katagal nakatulog?

Bigla kong naalala ang nga nangyari kahapon. Me and Randall in the shooting range, the stranger, the attack, me being a luna, the strange excruciating pain and Morgan...

Napatingin ako kay Morgan at sinamantala ang pagkakataon na matitigan siya. Even when he's sleeping, his intimidating aura is still there. Malalim ang kan'yang paghinga. Unti unti kong nilapit ang kamay ko sa mukha niya, nag iingat na hindi ko siya magising. I caressed his cheeks. He looks tired. I can see the dark bags under his eyes and his hair is sweaty. I can't still believe that I'm his mate.

Lumakas bigla ang tibok ng puso ko nang iminulat niya ang kan'yang mga mata. He raises his head up to me and I'm met with his deep forest green eyes. I sucked on my breath.

He stared at me and I can see the relief, guilt and joy in his eyes. Agad siyang tumayo at lumapit sa akin. Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ko ang mga labi niya sa noo ko.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered. Hindi ako sumagot at dinama lang ang kuryenteng dumadaloy sa akin. Napakunot ang noo ko ng bigla akong nakaramdam ng guilt. Alam kong hindi sa akin ang pakiramdam na iyon. Did I just felt his emotion?

"Maayos na ba ang pakiramdam mo?" masuyo niyang tanong habang nakatitig sa akin.

"Yes" tumango ako.

"Kung alam ko lang ay hindi na sana ako umalis. I forgot that it's full moon yesterday" agad niya akong hinila sa nga bisig niya at niyakap ng mahigpit.

Overwhelming feelings shoot through me. It's like I'm not just only feeling my emotions but his too. I feel more connected to him now. It feels great.

"Full moon?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

"Nang malaman mo na mate kita, your heat immediately started because it's full moon yesterday"

I just simply nodded. I suddenly remembered what I've read in the book about heat.

It says that heat is the moon goddess' way of speeding up the mate process. It's a painful process that the female mates go through after they met their other half. When the female is in heat, all of the unmated males and even the mated ones, will automatically be attracted to the female. Mates can feel each other's emotions and pains that's why the male mates will feel an agonizing pain because they hated to see their mates in pain and not being able to do anything about it. This will come back every full moon until the two mates have been mated.

"I-It will happen again in the next full moon?" mahinang tanong ko. Naramdaman ko ang biglang paghigpit ng kan'yang yakap. I can feel his guilt.

"Yes. I'm sorry"

He sighed heavily. Natahimik kami ng ilang sandali bago ko binasag ang katahimikan.

"I can feel you" saad ko.

He stiffened and I suddenly felt a smile grows across his face. A sudden emotion shoot through me again.

"You're happy" I said in awe.

"Yes, I am" he chuckled lightly and then I felt him kissed my hair.

"It feels great to know that my mate can feel me now" he whispered. My mate... Ang sarap pakinggan.

Napangiti ako at niyakap siya ng mahigpit.

Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. It feels so great to be in his arms and to know that he's mine and I'm his.

"No one can touch you now. You're mine Lucia"
___

It's been days since I knew that I'm Morgan's mate. Naging maayos naman ang lahat. I feel more alive and complete.

Habang mas tumatagal ay mas nararamdaman ko ang koneksyon namin sa isa't isa. I can't still believe that I'm his mate. I'm the alpha king's mate.

We now shared emotions. But it's hard for me to handle his emotions. He's much more stronger and powerful than normal wolves. Being an alpha king requires greater emotion. Sometimes his emotions becomes so strong that it's hard for me to breath. It's hard but I'm getting used to it as the days passes by.

"Morgan" tawag ko.

I watched him as his brows furrowed. He's thumbing some paperworks on his desk. He looked up to me and smiled when our eyes locked.

"Pwede ko bang puntahan si Blake?" tanong ko dito.

Nasa opisina niya kami. Nakaupo ako sa upuan sa harap ng lamesa niya.

Nitong mga nakaraang araw ay naging abala siya sa mga gawain sa opisina. He received multiple reports about rogue attacks not just here but also in the other packs.

"Sure. Basta bumalik ka agad" sagot niya.

One thing that his pack doesn't know about him is his clingy side. He said that he always wants me close. Kaya kahit saan man siya magpunta ay kasama niya ako, maliban nalang sa labas.

Minsan nga ay napapansin ko ang mga mapanuring tingin ng mga kasama namin dito sa pack house. I find their weird glances uncomfortable. Nakikita ko rin silang nagbubulungan kapag nakikita ako. Naisip ko na baka hindi lang sila sanay na makitang kasama ako ng kanilang alpha kaya pinagsawalang bahala ko nalang iyon.

Lumapit ako sa kan'ya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi bago lumabas ng opisina niya. I suddenly felt my heart flutters. Napangiti agad ako nang malamang hindi sa akin ang emosyon na iyon kundi sa kan'ya.

Tahimik akong naglalakad sa hallway nang makarinig ako ng mga boses na nag uusap. Galing iyon sa loob ng isang nakabukas na silid. Magpapatuloy na sana ako sa paglalakad at hindi na iyon papansinin nang biglang narinig ko ang pangalan ko.

Sumilip agad ako sa nakabukas na pinto.

"Our alpha's mate is a human. Her name is Lucia" narinig kong sinabi ng babae sa kausap niya. I glanced at the woman she's talking to. Medyo may katandaan na ang ginang. I think she's in her early fifties. Nakaupo siya ng tuwid at seryosong nakikinig sa kausap. Her lips is in grim line.

"Bakit hinayaan niya itong mangyari? Alam niyang hindi katanggap tanggap sa lahi natin ang mga tao! They're supposed to be slaves in our race" she spit darkly.

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko nang maramdaman ko ang pagkirot nito.

"Alam niyang maaring matanggal sa kan'ya ang position niya kapag nalaman ito ng mga nakatataas!"

My heart raced when I heard what she just said. Maaring matanggal si Morgan sa pagiging hari?

"He needs to choose. His pack and position or that stupid human"

Hindi ko na nakayanan ang mga narinig kaya agad na akong tumakbo paalis. Tears trickling down from my eyes.

He needs to choose? Sino nga ba ang pipiliin niya?
