POV TRAEVON ERIKSSON
Imbes na kumain sa labas ay sa loob kami ng opisina ko kumain ni Caelen. Nagpadeliver na lang ako ng pagkain para sa aming dalawa. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako mapakali dahil sa pagkakita ko kay Alpha Ezra.
"Sir Von, sweldo naman ngayon. Treat ko na itong lunch na 'to," sabi ni Caelen habang kumakain kami ng tanghalian.
"Mahirap ka, 'di ba? Ipunin mo na lang ang pera mo pambayad ng bank loans mo."
"Tingin mo magkano ibibigay sa akin ni Sir Aurelien kapag pumayag ako sa alok niya? Half a million din?"
"Kapag pumayag ka sa alok ni Aurelien, tatanggalin kita sa trabaho at ipapa-blacklist kita sa lahat ng company dito sa Pilipinas!" galit na sabi ko sa kanya.
"Joke lang, Sir Von. Na-miss ko lang bigla 'yong lalaki ko na nakasama sa Club Fantaisie."
"The black angel?"
Nabanggit sa akin ni Caelen noon na nakasuot ito ng black wings costume na parang isang black angel. Siguro ay sinabi niya ito sa akin sa pag-aakala na may relasyon kami ni Polaris.
"Alam mo, Sir Von. First time ko nag-climax at sa mouth pa niya. Grabe, nakaka-nginig. Feeling ko kinuryente ko---"
"Caelen, we are eating lunch. Baka pwede huwag natin pag-usapan ang ibang klase ng kainan?"
"Eto naman, ikaw nga lang nakaka-usap ko about sa sexy time. Baka iyon na ang una at huli ko na tikim ng langit."
I am not comfortable when Caelen is discussing her moment in Club Fantaisie. It was a total turn on and I might not be able to control myself if she continues with her stories.
"Do you miss him? The guy in Club Fantaisie?"
"I guess so. Palagi ko siya naiisip. Tingin mo mahal ko na siya?"
"Nope, tigang ka lang."
Tumawa lang si Caelen sa sinabi ko. Madalas ay gumagamit pa ko ng beki words para kay Caelen. I must admit, I am enjoying this charade. It is like a means of being closer to her, of getting to know her more.
Naputol ang usapan namin ni Caelen nang biglang lumitaw si Polaris sa loob ng office ko. Kasama niya si Galileo at si Einsten Campbell, ang isa pang miyembro ng Royal Cavalier.
"Aris? Paano nangyari ito? Paano kayo nakapasok agad dito---"
Mabilis ko na nasalo ang katawan ni Caelen nang mawalan ito ng malay sa sofa. Hindi niya siguro akalain na lilitaw bigla sa loob ng office ko ang mga Royal Cavaliers.
If Polaris used his teleportation ability, it only means there is something serious going on.
"May problema tayo, Traevon."
"What is the matter?" tanong ko sa kanila habang tinutulungan ako ni Einsten na ihiga ang katawan ni Caelen sa sofa.
"While we were having a meeting in the Incendio Station, the twelve Alpha suddenly disappeared," seryosong sagot ni Galileo.
"Missing in the Alpha Crypt? How is that possible?"
During the Werewolf - Demon Witch War, my parents and several Direct Heirs infiltrated the Morpheus Castle to defeat the demon witch Gresilda. After the war, the Werewolf Clan asked the help of several babaylan from the hidden Kalingayan Village of Mountain Province to create a remote monitoring system inside the Alpha Crypt.
"Your Highness, the alarms inside the Alpha Crypt were all blaring about an hour ago. The monitoring system shows that the twelve Alpha are all missing. It seems that Alpha Ezra is right. We need to find them," dagdag na paliwanag ni Galileo.
"Is this a glitch? Baka naman nagkaproblema lang ang monitoring system ng mga babaylan. Their spell must have not detected the Alphas."
"Your Highness, three villages near the Himalayas were burned to the ground. All residents were killed, Alpha-style. We have a reason to believe that our twelve Alpha are now free and are going on berserk. The First Heirs summoned us in the Verde Sanctuary. This is possibly what the prophecy of Kaliyah is all about."
Kaliyah was a White Witch from Israel who was blessed by Guardian Raviael just like us. She moved to the Philippines and established the Kalingayan village. Our First Heirs have been relying on their babaylans for help since the beginning of time.
"Napuntahan niyo na ba ang kapatid ko?" tanong ko kay Galileo.
"She is still with the 13th Werewolf Alpha, but her Cavaliers are all on standby waiting for her. The First Heirs specifically need your presence."
My sister Traenna Eriksson is posing as a college student, while working as a part time fast food crew. She is known as the princess of the Werewolf Clan. A talented Werewolf when it comes to fighting just like my Aunt, Gwenevere Eriksson Harrington.
But my sister is not exactly smart, academically speaking. Medyo parang bata sa isip at sa gawa.
Magtatanong pa sana ako kay Galileo nang biglang magkamalay si Caelen. Namutla na naman ang mukha nito ng makita ang tatlong lalaki na biglang lumitaw sa opisina ko. Lumapit ako kay Caelen at hinawakan ko ang kamay niya para kalmahin siya, pero bigla na naman itong nawalan ng malay.
"Your Highness, is she your new secretary? Zackie's replacement?" tanong ni Einsten.
"Yes, why?" kabado ko na tanong sa kanya.
"Nothing. You seemed extra protective of her," nakangisi na sagot nito.
"Traevon, we have to go now," nagmamadali na sabi ni Galileo.
"I can't leave Caelen here. Nakita niya kayo na nag teleport sa harapan niya."
"The meeting will soon start. Just alter her memories after we come back."
"No need. Let's go! I will take her to the Eriksson estate first," sabi ko sabay buhat sa walang malay na si Caelen.
"But Your Highness, only Werewolves are allowed inside the Eriksson residence," sabi naman ni Einsten.
"No problem, I will make her one."
Sooner or later, they will find out that I already turned Caelen as my Mate. I am just delaying the inevitable. Moreover, I have never felt connected to any woman, except for this unconscious woman in my arms. If the world will burn because of our twelve Alphas, I want to spend my remaining days with her.
