People call Ember Nile Calderon a lot of things. Sometimes it's the Huntress, Queen of Arrows, the Archeress, or the Lonely Wolf. Those she don't mind. After all, she's one of the most decorated archers of her time. She's a two-time defending champion for Archery World Cup and World Archery Championships for recurve and compound, and she's also a two-time Olympic gold medalist. But lately, some of the names she's being called are getting on her nerves. The NBSB, the frigid snob, the unlikable bitch, the passionless princess, the woman who'll end up marrying her arrow since it's the only "stick" that she will ever see in her life. The media and the people keep on branding her as an undesirable woman. It's infuriating but she doesn't care, however, her agent and her sponsors do. "Dear universe, ang unang lalaking lalapit sa akin ngayong gabi ay hahalikan ko." Alcohol and frustration is not a good combination. In a poor-lit bar, with drinks that are too many to count, she found herself challenging destiny. Just for one night of fun. But apparently the man that she just met is bound to cross her path again, because Trace Dawson has his own deal with the universe. "Dear universe, ang susunod na babaeng hahalikan ko ay si The One na."

Three Kings Series #2 (Blare Yvan Reifler)

"I-Im sorry." malakas ang kabog ng dibdib na wika ko. He's looking at me dangerously. Palapit siya ng palapit sa akin Habang ako naman ay paatras ng paatras hanggang tumama ang likod ko sa pader. "Ahh!" sigaw ko sa takot nang bigla niyang suntukin ang pader na nasa gilid ko. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at malakas na kumabog ang dibdib ko dahil sa takot. "Sorry? Its not something that we can resolve by saying sorry." mapanganib na wika niya. Nanlilisik ang mga mata niya at nagtatagis ang kanyang mga bagang. Kita ko sa mata niya ang poot pero wala akong magawa kung hindi humingi ng tawad. "I-Im sorry Jaxon. I-Im sorry." humahagulgol na wika ko. Hinawakan niya ang panga ko at itiningala sa kanya. Masyado iyong mahigpit at nasasaktan na ako pero hindi ko magawang umangal. "Damn you! I dont need your sorry. And dont act scared with this kind of thing! Mas malala ka dito! You're a murderer and I will do everything to make your life a living hell." mabalasik na wika niya bago ako marahas na bitawan. "I will see you again Xhia. I will make sure of that." aniya bago ako iwanan. Napaupo ako sa sahig at napahagulgol. Nanginginig ang kamay ko at malakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko. What have I done?
