She Who Got Rejected ✔️

Chapter 8

Nagtatago kami ni Alekxus ngayon sa magubat na parte ng territoryo ng Oxalis Pack. Ilang distansiyang kilometro lang ang layo ng biglaang pagpupulong na nagaganap sa pagitan ng ilang matataas na miyembro ng Oxalis Pack at Oleander Pack.

Mula sa kampo namin, naroon ang Alpha, Luna, Beta, Charlie, Delta, at Foxtrot. Ang Echo at Gamma ay naiwan sa kampo upang protektahan at bantayan ang mga tao rito. They are also organizing our warriors just in case negotiation fail and this lead to war.

Nag-aalala ako para sa Oxalis Pack. Maraming dinalang miyembro, kasama ang buong higher-ups, ang Oleander Pack. Mula sa Gamma hanggang Alpha nila, mukhang narito upang makipag debate.

From our position, kita namin ni Alekxus ang mga mararahas na hand gestures nila. Rinig rin dito ang mga sigawan, sigaw na nagmumula sa agresibong Oleander Pack.

They haven't changed it seems.

When I was there, that pack always resorts to violence and aggression. For them, it is the easiest and fastest way to arrive at their desired outcome.

"I should be there!" Alekxus hissed in irritation.

I am crouch beside him and he looks as if he's about to bolt straight to them, ruining our strategy. Kaunti ang pasensya ni Alekxus. He also have this tendency to be impulsive leading to rush decisions. That's his weakness.

I am thinking the same as him. Dapat naroon rin ako. Once they see me, a person with a red hooded cloak, they will think twice.

Hindi pa man ako muling nagagawi sa territoryo ng Oleander Pack, alam kong nakarating na sa kanila ang aking kwento.

Ang kwento ng Red Hood.

Red Hood is already an urban legend here in the Forest.

However, unlike Alekxus, I have surrendered completely to the Luna's strategy.

An hour ago...

"We shouldn't send all of our forces," saad ng Luna, "Some must stay here in the camp and others," Lumingon siya sa direksyon namin ni Alekxus, "..you will join us to the border but you must keep yourself hidden unless we're put in a dire situation."

"I agree. With that, makakasigurado tayong protektado pa rin ang sentro ng Pack at may backbup in case na hindi na natin kayang makontrol ang mga Oleanders." sang-ayon ng Beta.

Tumango rin ang Charlie, "Oleanders are cruel and violent. Expecting the worst from them, our Luna's suggestion is our best approach right now."

"Bakit kami pa ni Redemption ang kailangang magtago, Luna?" seryosong tanong ni Alekxus ngunit bakas ang pagkadismaya sa mukha nito. Alekxus immediate response is always to fight and not hide. I understand how it feels for him to be ordered to hide rather than face the battle head on. "The others can do it. Let us be there with you. Makakatulong kami ni Redemption." dagdag pa niya.

The Luna of Oxalis Pack, Luna Miadyn Oxalis, turned completely to face her son while the Alpha remained reserved, but nevertheless still a powerful force on her side.

Sa pagkakataong 'yon, hindi ina ni Alekxus ang nakaharap sa amin bagkus ang Luna, our warrior Luna Miadyn. "Alekxus Oxalis." tawag niya sa isang malamig na tono.

Mas tumikas ang tindig ni Alekxus. Maging ako ay pinanindigan ng balahibo, "What is the first thing your Alpha taught you whenever you're facing an enemy?" tanong ng Luna.

Kaagad na sumagot si Alekxus, nakabaon sa kaniyang memorya ang kasagutan, "Never underestimate your enemy, Luna."

"The second?" tanong ni Luna Miadyn.

"Never show any weakness. Weakness gets you killed, Luna."

"And the third tenet of an Oxalis warrior?"

Nanlaki ang mata ni Alekxus na tila ba'y may importante siyang naalala. He immediately recovered his composure and directly answered, "Always have the element of surprise in your favor, Luna."

"Good." papuri ng Luna, satisfied of his answers. "Alekxus Oxalis and Redemption Hood, kayo ang sorpresa natin laban sa kanila."

Luna Miadyn grinned, the most cunning woman I know is already grinning in victory as if alam na niya kung sino ang mananalo, "Those Oleanders will never see us coming."
