Aoi winced as he struggled to get a hold of himself. When Rage left him in the room of darkness, all his senses were enhanced. After the beating, Aoi couldnât help but frown as he felt all of the painful punches and kicks he took from Rage.Even though his body was painful, he still laid down on a cold floor to calm himself. Alam ni Aoi na hindi niya kaya si Rage kalabanin. Unang una, isa itong alpha. All omegas are far inferior to alphas. Kahit na marunong pang lumaban si Aoi ay hinding hindi pa rin niya magagawang matalo si Rage. Pangalawa, kung lalaban siya ay siguradong mas lalala lamang ang mga mangyayari.Bukod sa pagsipa at pagsuntok sa kaniya ni Rage, nagwala rin ito sa paligid. His eyes were full of calmness, but his heart was beating for fear of getting hit by the things he threw and destroyed. The silence in the abandoned place where he was made him calm down. At least he knows that in the place where he was, there was only him and no one else. At least for now, he felt saf
The police arrived, and they immediately subdued Rageâs raging temper. He was half conscious, but his pheromones were still blazing and making people around him suffocate. If he is a dominant alpha, then everyone around him will be having a hard time. Lucky enough, he isnât.The police investigated, and they saw a lot of evidence in the abandoned villa. The villa has no owner. However, it was used as a hideout or transaction place for some people doing shady and illegal things.Habang abala ang mga police sa kanilang pag-iimbestiga, si Rage naman ay nakaupo na sa isang espesiyal na police car kung saan iyon ang ginagamit kapag isang alpha ang kanilang inaaresto. Dahil sa nahuli sa akto si Rage sa crime scene, hindi siya maaring makawala.âIlabas niyo ako rito! Isa akong Orries! Kung hindi ninyo ako ilalabas, makikita ninyo!âNapabuntong hininga na lamang ang isang pulis na nagbabantay sa kaniya. Hindi maiwasan ng pulis na iyon na hindi mapakunot ang kaniyang noo. Rage is too noisy. Si
Nang makauwi si Margaret ay kaagad naman siyang nagtungo sa kaniyang kwarto upang maligo. Habang naliligo, hindi niya maiwasan ang hindi mapamura at isumpa ang babaeng nagtapon sa kaniya ng mabahong tubig.âThat bitch! Huwag lang siyang magpapakitang muli sa akin dahil sisiguraduhin ko na mahihirapan ang buhay niya!â she said as she rubbed the soap in her body. âFuck! The smell didnât even reduce a bit! Anong klaseng tubig ba iyon at hindi man lang nababawasan ang baho sa akin! These peasants really piss me off!âAfter Margaret got rid of the smell, she immediately went to their bed. She was pissed off. She spent an hour in the bathroom just to get rid of the smell from that smelly water. No matter how much she rubbed the soap, it couldnât get rid of itself as soon as possible. Thus, she spent an hour getting rid of the smell.Not long after she sat down on the bed, the door opened. She saw her husband, and he looked not so accommodating. Thus, she knows that he isnât in a good mood.
Nang magising si Aoi, siya lamang mag-isa sa kwarto niya. Hindi niya alam kung nasaan si Takeru o ang kaniyang magulang at tanging ang nag-aalaga at nagbabantay lamang sa kaniya ang naroon. Nakita rin niya na mayroong mga guwardiya sa labas ng pinto.Because of what happened to him, somehow, he felt traumatized. He doesnât want them to know that he is awake, but he also wants them to know and let his parents and lover know about his situation. He wanted to call Takeru himself, but his phone couldnât be found. Thus, he only sat at the edge of the bed, staring at nothing.âWhat should I do? I donât have my phone.'He pondered for a while before he sighed.âWhatever. They are surely going to visit me. Letâs just wait.âHe turned the TV on, and the news about Takeruâs siblings immediately flashed in front of him. This made him worried about Takeruâs mental health. No matter how much his family did to him, he knows that he still longed for them to notice him. Thus, this news made him shock
In Aoiâs family house, Aoi is sitting on the couch in their living room with his family. Mayroong kausap ang kaniyang ama at alam nilang lahat na iyon ay tungkol sa trial ng mga kapatid ni Takeru.Nakausap na ni Aoi si Takeru tungkol dito at dahil na rin sa nakakaramdam siya ng guilt, hindi niya maiwasan na sisihin niya ang sarili niya. Hindi nga lang akalain ni Aoi na wala na pala ang pakiramdam na âpamilyaâ na gusto ni Takeru maramdaman sa totoo niyang pamilya.âAt first, when I was young, talagang gusto ko na pansinin ako ng magulang ko. However, as I grow up, I find it funny and silly. Doon ko na-realize na ang pagmamahal ni lolo, sapat na. Mas lalo rin Nawala ang pagnanais ko na mapansin nila nang makilala kita. Kaya naman huwag kang mag-alala, hinding hindi ako nakakaramdam ng kahit na anong lungkot sa mga nangyayari sa kanila. Sa dinami dami ng kasalanan na ginawa nila, hindi lamang sa âyo, nararapat lamang sa kanila ito.âNang sabihin iyon ni Takeru sa kaniya, nakahinga siya n
Ilang araw lang din ang nakalipas matapos na hatulan ng pagkabilanggo ang mgakakapatid na Orries, sumundo naman si Margaret. Hindi nagkamayaw ang buong bansa nang marinig nila ito ang nagpa-kidnap kay Aoi. Hindi lamang iyon, napag-alaman din ng lahat na hindi nito gusto si Aoi noong college pa lamang ito dahil ang akala niya ay wala itong background.Nalaman din ng lahat na siya rin ang dahilan kung bakit naghiwalay si Aoi at Takeru despite being mated and bonded. Mayroong lumabas na recorder at ang laman nito ay ang ginawang pananakot ni Margaret sa kaniyang anak na si Takeru na isa lamang college student noong mga panahong iyon.Mas lalo pang umani ng galit mula sa tao nang malaman nila na kasabwat nito ay ang magulang ni Shion Robert ang kaniyang dating fiancÃĐ. Dahil doon, pati na rin ang pamilya ni Shion ay nadamay sa gulo at nakatanggap ng galit.Sanay ang nanay ni Shion na pinag-uusapan siya ngunit sa hindi ganitong paraan. Nasa isa siyang party nang mapagtanto niya na ang kaniy
Hatak hatak ko ang aking maleta habang nakangiting palabas ng departure area. Nang makarating ako sa entrance ng airport ay napa-inat na lamang ako ng kamay ko pataas. I was smiling while looking around. Itâs been a while, was it almost five years and a half since I left? I was expecting not to come back here anymore since the day I decided to move away but I did not expect to be home again. I felt complicated. If it werenât for my cousinâs wedding, I wonât be here today. Also, since the work that my cousin offered was a little busier than I expected, I ended up going back here and work here. I am expecting to see them, especially my circle. I was excited. Alam ko na masaya akong makita silang muli. Except for one person. Iâm quite worried about it, hindi ko alam kung ano magiging reaksyon ko if ever I saw him again. I shrugged my thought off and took out my phone. I turned it off when I board on the plane so when I turn it on again, the messages from work and friends at NY bombard
I frowned when I heard a loud voice. My head was spinning as I tried to clear my mind. "Ano na namang kalokohan âto, Aoi?!" Dinig ko na sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses. Ugh, heâs here. Pinilit ko na imulat ang mga mata ko dahil sobrang sakit ng ulo ko sa hang over. Nanlalabo pa ang mga mata ko pero alam ko na kung sino kaagad ang nakapameywangan sa harapan ko. Itâs Kenji. "Ah, KenjiâĶ" I murmured. Inilipat ko naman ang tingin ko sa tao na nasa likuran ni Kenji at nakita ko ang pamilyar na mukha. "Boss RyoâĶ" I murmured as well. I was about to go back to sleep when I realized. WaitâI sat up and conditioned myself. I held my head as I tried to regain my composure in front of them. Kahit naman na lagi silang nandiyan sa likuran ko ayoko naman na makita nilang ganito ako. "âYung totoo, Aoi, gusto mo pa ba mabuhay? Kung ayaw mo na sabihin mo lang sa âkin," I heard Kenji sarcastically say. Ah, this damn hangover. Ito ang ayaw ko kapag umiinom ako nang marami. My plan is to drink a can

Nag-aalalang lumapit si Margaret sa kaniyang nakakatandang anak nang marinig niya ang balita tungkol sa pagkawala ni Aoi. It was all over the news. Everyone in the Parella family is doing their best to track him, and if it was her sonâs doing, it would be over for his sonâs life.The Parella family may be an omega, but their connections and power far exceed those of the alphas prominent in their own industries. Thereâs still a lot of alphas who seek marriage from the Parella family. It was because they raised their omegas not to be breeding tools, and their education is on par with the education of alphas at home.Margaret confronted her son, and her voice was filled with anger and concern. âRage, do you have him?âRage smirked. His eyes were filled with hate. âSo what if I had him?â His brow is raising.Margaret's eyes widened. âRage!â she screamed. âWhat on earth is happening to you? Hindi ka ba masaya na nakauwi ka na sa amin? Rage! Hindi mo ba alam na hindi lang ikaw ang mapapaham
As Aoi walked down a busy street, the pair of eyes that had been eyeing him disappeared. It was as if there weren't any eyes watching him at all. Noong una ay nag-aalala pa si Aoi ngunit ngayon, mas lalo pa siyang nag-aalala. Kung bigla na lamang itong nawawala ay isa lamang ang ibig nitong sabihin kay Aoi, may mangyayaring hindi maganda.For a person involved in underground society, the benefits of doubts aren't small. Thus, Aoi knew that even though he couldnât feel it, there was still an eye watching him. He never erased the fact that there are still people out there who have a lot of malicious intent watching him. Kaya naman mas pinagpapatibay pa ni Aoi ang kaniyang seguridad.âHindi ko alam kung tam aba itong desisyon ko.âHindi sinabi ni Aoi sa kaniyang pamilya na mayroon siyang nararamdaman dahil alam niya na mag-aalala ang mga ito. Ganoon pa man, hindi niya magawang ilihim ito kay Takeru. He wanted him to know about his situation so he wouldn't be blamed for it. Aoi knows his
Aoi didnât leave the coffee shop when Haru left. He stayed there until it was late. The shop is open twenty-four hours a day. Thus, he doesnât need to worry about the shop closing late because of him. He only stayed where he was and looked at his phone. He is waiting for Takeruâs call.For some reason, his lover didnât call him, not even once. This made him feel the metallic taste in his mouth.âSo, you learn how to not call, huh.âAoi calmed himself. He tried to justify what Takeru just did. Ever since they got together, Takeru hasnât missed calling him. However, right now, to his surprise, he hasnât called him all afternoon.âDid something happen? âWorries and anxiety started to surge in his heart. He doesnât want something bad to happen to his lover, but knowing the things in his family, he couldnât help but think that something bad really happened.âNo, Aoi, calm down. Hindi porque hindi ka niya tinawagan ay may nangyari nang hindi maganda.âHuminga nang malalim si Aoi at saka si
