LOGINThis book is authored by Kit Bryan. I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters. Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm. I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species. I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate. Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.

Hindi siya makagalaw sa kinatatayuan at nakayuko lamang siya. Hindi siya sanay sa ganong senaryo. Isang malapad na kamay ang humawak sa bewang niya at nginitian siya ng nobyo. Kumabog na naman ang dibdib niya, napakagwa-
“Phoebe! Phoebe! Gumising ka na jan male-late ka na sa school. Diba internship nyo na ngayon.” Tapik sa kanya ng kapatid na lalaki.
Namumungay ang mga mata na tiningnan niya ang kapatid. “Hmmm...”
“Sige na mauuna na ako sayo ha.” Paalam ng kapatid.
Tumungo siya sa banyo para maghilamos. Panaginip lang pala.
Ang hindi niya maintindihan bakit sa dinami-dami ng mapapanaginipan niya ay ang lalaking yon pa. Umirap na kinuha niya ang sepilyo ang nagsimula ng ayusin ang sarili para pumasok.
Habang naglalakad papuntang sakayan ng bus, tumawag sa kanya ang Mommy Henry. Mommy Henry as is beki.
“Hi Mommy Henry!”
“Phoebe, may customer ka ng alas otso ha. Same casino. Dumerecho ka na dito after ng duty mo.” Masayang wika nito sa kanya.
“Okay po. Got it.”
Malamyang umupo siya sa sinasakyan at pumikit saglit.
Hanggang kalian ba ako magiging ganito. Bakit ba ang unfair. Bumuntong-hininga na lamang siya sa isipin na iyon.
7:40 pm, De Luxe Casino Hotel.
Sakay ng isang rent-a-car isang napakagandang pigura ng babae ang bumaba.
“Keep the change na po kuya!” sabay ngiti.
“Salamat Mam!” tugon ng driver.
“Phoebe! Ang ganda naman talaga ng alaga ko.” Salubong sa kanya ni Henry.
“Hi Mommy Henry!”
“Hmmm…” langhap nito sa kanya. “Fresh na fresh. Laging amoy baby, kaya ka nililinyahan eh.” Hagikgik neto.
“Well, natural kong amoy yan.” Pilya niyang sagot. “Oh saan yung customer ko?”
“Aba! Teka?” Pinasadahan siya ni Henry ng tingin. “You’ve grown honey!” malanding tawa na naman neto.
“Hmmp! Wala naman akong choice mommy Henry.” Tumawa lamang ang amo niya.
“Let’s wait for him na lang muna dito, may kausap pa siya sa taas. He’ll call me when he needs you.” Iginiya siya nito sa isang sofa sa gilid at kumuka ng wine.
May ilang buwan na din ng maaksidente si Prince, ang kapatid niya. Patapos na ang klase niya noon at muntik na siyang hindi makapag-enroll. Isang buwan noong bedridden ang kapatid kung kaya’t ang dating part-time na pagbebenta ng cosmetics at pabango ay naging pagbebenta ng katawan. Suki niya si Henry noon sa mga paninda niya at inalok siya nito ng trabaho. Sa sobrang kagipitan, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang alok nito sa kanya. Kahit ganon ang tarabaho ni Henry, mabait ito sa kanya at maaayos na customer siya binibigay.
“Phoebe! Uy!” untag neto sa kanya.
“Mommy Henry…sorry. Pagod lang.”
“Nako, malapit ka na matapos sa pag-aaral mo, ibig sabihin malapit mo na din ako iwan.”
Mapait siyang napangiti. Hindi gaya ng ibang employer ay ginigipit ang ibang escorts na gusto ng umalis. “Hindi naman tayo sigurado eh. Baka mamaya may makakilala sakin dito, mahirapan ako maghanap ng trabaho.”
Tinapik siya nito sa balikat.
“Hindi mangyayari yun, ano ka ba. Kaya nga sa maayos na customer kita binibigay eh. Yung one night kalimot na agad. I don’t know if that can be considered good, but that’s the least that I can do for you.” Ngumiti ito.
“Thank you.”
“Wala yon ako dapat magpasalamat sayo. Wag ka lang kalmutin ng iba kong girls kase naiinggit sayo eh Ganda mo girl!” nagkatawanan ito. “Eto inumin mo to pampalakas ng loob.” Inabot nito sa kanya ang baso ng wine.
“Aalis na ako after niya tumawag ha, alam mo na. Bebe time din ako.” Kinikilig na wika nito.
“Hmmm! Iba na naman ba yan?”
“Tigilan mo nga ako ha.” Irap nito saka nag-ring ang cellphone. “Hello…oh yes sir. She’ll be coming. Thanks.” Binaba nito ang tawag at tumingin sa dalaga. “Ayun na, Go signal na ni Zeus.”
“Zeus?”
“Ay! Mala-Zeus kase ang hubog girl!” kinikilig na hampas nito sa kanya. “Basta pag inaway ka ng ibang girls sabihan mo ako. Go na, ita-transfer ko na sayo ang bayad. As usual.”
Tumayo silang pareho at nilagok niya ang huling laman ng baso.
Tinungo ni Phoebe ang elevator at nagtungo sa VIP room. Nasanay na din siya sa ganoong trabaho. Noong una halos nangangatog na nilalakad niya ang bawat pasilyong tinutungo nya papunta sa mga customer niya. Sa nakalipas na tatlong buwan pakiramdam niya ay manhid na siya.
Salamat na din lang kay Mommy Henry dahil hindi old and dying ang binibigay sa kanyang customer. Karamihan ay mejo bata pa, like late or early thirties.
Muli na naman sumingit sa isipan niya ang lalaki sa panaginip niya, she smiled mocking herself.
“Haaay…pano ba magiging kami non eh isa lang naman akong escort at siya? Anak mayaman, isusuka lang ako ng pamilya ng lalaking yon. At tyaka sa sa dinami-dami ng lalaki ba’t siya pa?”
Naalala niyang nabangga niya ang isang lalaki nong nakaraang lingo habang kasama niya ang customer niya sa casino, kumuha siya noon ng beer para kay Mr. Alejandro, isa sa mga pinakabata niyang customer in his late thirties. Libangan na ata ng mayayaman bumili ng aliw. Humingi siya ng pasensya gayun na din si Mr. Alejandro sa lalaki ngunit kita niya kung gaano kasama ang tingin nito sa kanya. Pagtapos non ay giniya na siya ng kliyente niya patungo sa silid.
“That’s Thomas Preston. He’s one of the big shots in town. But he doesn’t pay women for sex.” Ngingisi-ngising nitong sabi habang nagtatanggal ng butones ng polo. “Come here, unbutton my clothes.” Masunurin siyang lumapit dito. “Don’t wish for a man like him Pryne.”
“I know my place Mr. Alejandro.” Sagot niya dito. Sanay na siya sa mga pang-iinsulto na naririnig niya sa mga nagging kliyente niya. Mabuti na lamang at isang beses lang siya nirerefer ni Henry sa mga ito.
Huminto siya sa tapat ng VIP room at chineck ang number sa key card.
VIP Room 701
Nagpakawala siya ng hangin bago tinapat ang key-card, agad naman itong bumukas.
"*Hello! Apparently some people weren’t happy that Alex didn’t get his happily ever after included in the story. I actually did plan a love interest for him, but it never fit well into the story. So, I figured I might as well round the story out to 300 chapters and add one more chapter for you all so that you know I didn't leave him as the odd man out! It's kind of long but I didn't write enough for multiple chapters and it's just their introduction but this is all you're getting! -Kit*I hover awkwardly outside of the store that Megan texted us all about. I have no idea how I ended up in this situation. When Alpha Ryann and Alpha Kane got engaged it was a surprise to literally no one, especially not us on the security team. Alpha Kane is fiercely protective of his bride so after everything that happened with their adoptive daughter Kiara, we all got to know Alpha Ryann fairly well. I’ve been added to several rather terrifying group chats and I get dragged along to an endless stream o
"I am so insanely excited and anxious that I might actually pass out. I probably look a little pale because Bellamy puts down the box he was carrying and pulls me into a reassuring hug.“Calm down, everything will be fine.” He promises. I rest my head against his chest and take a few deep breaths. “I know, I’m just worried. It was super nice of you to arrange for Maggie to get a place in the Shifter compound, and I’m beyond thrilled that Logan’s mum has decided he’s better off living with her full time. I’m so excited to live near Maggie again and it’ll be lovely for Kiara to have her friend nearby. But… what if the others don’t approve? I mean, it’s one thing for me to live in the compound, we are engaged after all. But I’m bringing in more non-Shifters. What if people get angry?” I ask anxiously. I know I already decided to do this, and Bellamy was actually the one who suggested it when I was stressing that Maggie really shouldn’t be living alone and that she wanted to take in Loga
"I wake early the next morning, not used to sleeping next to someone, but I refuse to wake up completely or get out of bed. It’s my day off and I’m in no rush to face the day. Harry stirs not long after I do, but he is apparently on a similar lazy wavelength as me because he wraps his arms around me and clings to me like I’m a teddy bear, burying his face in my hair and sighing happily. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so relaxed. Even his magic is relaxed, sending off sleepy vibes. Actually, that might explain my sudden desire to never leave this bed. That or the very naked Incubus. Okay, so probably the second thing. Still, since I want to make it clear to Harry that his magic definitely affects me, I take the chance to remind him. “Your magic is making me lazy.” I grumble affectionately. Harry chuckles and hugs me even tighter. “Sorry, I’m just comfortable. Did you need to get up?” He offers reluctantly. “Nah, I’m good. I was just letting you know.” I answer drowsily and it does
"I try to be patient, I really do. But I’ve been waiting all week to see Harry and now he’s just standing there and not saying anything. He looks completely miserable. If he’s so unhappy why doesn’t he do something about it? He looks like he has something that he wants to say so why isn’t he talking? He’s never been one to hold his words back before, and I just made a total fool of myself pouring my heart out to him. Is it really so hard for him to just talk to me? I lose my patience. “Stop holding back and just ask me your question. Whatever it is you want from me, whatever you want to know, just ASK!” My words are demanding but my tone makes it sound more like I’m begging. I can’t quite bring myself to care. “You really want to know what I want…” Harry starts. His voice is agitated and he runs a hand through his hair, shoving his hood back as he does. He takes a step towards me. I’m standing on the top of the little stairs leading up to my home and he’s at the bottom but he’s so m
“Well, I want to know why I’m dreaming about her. Assuming the dreams I have are of things that are actually happening, it’s kind of like how a Seer or Oracle works. Maybe I could talk to one and try and figure out if I can control it better or see more?” I say slowly. I’m not actually totally su
"Harry pulls up in front of my home and I’m doing my best not to shake and bounce my knee due to nervous excitement. I’m pushing the door open and getting out of the seat before Harry even has the parking brake on because I don’t think I can sit still for another second. I wait awkwardly by the car
"I don’t sleep much. I stay up most of the night trying to figure out how to make things right with Harry. I don’t get too far but I do at least form the first step of the plan, one that I’m hoping will lead to more plans later on. I’m going to call Ryann and ask to meet up with her. Hopefully Harr
"It takes me three nights to be sure. But I am now completely convinced. Every night when I’m walking home from work, Harry is secretly following me, hiding in shadows and behind bushes and buildings whenever I turn around. At first I was concerned, I thought I had somehow picked up another stalker
