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. It’s 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 weren’t for my cousin’s wedding, I won’t 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. I’m 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 ‘to, Aoi?!" Dinig ko na sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses. Ugh, he’s 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. It’s Kenji. "Ah, Kenji…" I murmured. Inilipat ko naman ang tingin ko sa tao na nasa likuran ni Kenji at nakita ko ang pamilyar na mukha. "Boss Ryo…" I murmured as well. I was about to go back to sleep when I realized. Wait—I 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. "’Yung totoo, Aoi, gusto mo pa ba mabuhay? Kung ayaw mo na sabihin mo lang sa ‘kin," 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
"Umm… takeru…" I mumbled his name as he slowly thrust his big thing inside my back hole. I couldn’t see his face, but I already knew what kind of face he was making during our sex. I felt his vibrating chest in my back as I heard his panting behind my ears as he leaned a little. He bit my ears a little and licked my earlobes. It made me shiver whenever he did this to me. For some reason, it makes me even more sensitive while he’s thrusting his big thing inside me. "Aoi…" he moaned my name. We started having sex as soon as he came. I felt that there was something wrong, but I drowned myself in pleasure. After having sex, he carried me to the bathroom, and we stayed there a little while. "Aoi.." he called me again, hugging me from behind. I looked up a little to see his expression, but I couldn't, and it made me frown. "Takeru," I said, turning to face him. "Is there something wrong?" I asked. It makes me scared whenever he’s acting like this. I know I shouldn’t because we've al
Pinilit ko na maging okay kahit na sobrang hirap. Napahawak na lamang ako sa dibdib ko upang mabawasan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. Umiyak lamang ako magdamag at hinayaan ko na lamang ito upang masanay rin ako. Tama, masasanay rin ako. Hirap man na bumangon ay bumangon pa rin ako dahil kailangan ko na magpunta sa main office ngayong araw. Kailangan ko na magreport dahil iyon ang sinabi sa akin ni Ryosuke. It's for formality lang daw. Huminga naman ako nang malalim nang makalabas ako ng apartment ko. Kaagad rin naman ako napatigil nang marinig ko ang pag-ring ng cellphone ko. Nagsimula na ako maglakad at saka ko sinagot ang tawag. Wala na akong oras para tingnan kung sino pa ang tumawag. "Hello? Aoi Takeshi speaking, who's this?" Napakunot naman ako nang walang sumagot sa kabilang linya. This time, napatigil ako saglit at saka ko nakita ang unknown number. Inilagay ko muli ang cellphone ko sa tenga ko. "Hello? Whoever you are, p
Nagmamadali kong umalis sa harapan nila at nagpunta sa pinaka malapit na Omega restroom. I was uncomfortable; simula pa lang nang pumasok ako sa room kung nasaan si Takeru. Pakiramdam ko hindi ko kakayanin kung mag-stay pa ako sa isang lugar kasama siya. I opened the farthest cubicle and sat down on the toilet. I clenched my fist in my chest as I tried to calm myself. Inhabitor… My inhabitor… Nagmamadali akong nagkalkal sa bag ko. Shit! My hands were trembling, and it makes it even harder for me to see my inhabitor. Sigurado akong naglagay ako ng walo sa bag ko. Sigurado akong nandito lang iyon. Shit bakit wala?! My breathing is getting heavier and heavier; my lips and hands are trembling; my legs have no strength; I feel hot; I feel like I want to be in his embrace. Seeing him makes me feel happy, but at the same time, it makes me feel jealous and envious. I think I already know the reason why my heat was triggered earlier than I expected. Hindi lang ito dahil sa nagkita kami
I dragged my tired and restless body to the bathroom and took care of my personal hygiene. After some time, I finally finished taking a bath. Buti pa sa pagligo ilang minute lang ang ginugugol ko hindi gaya kapag dumarating ang heat cycle ko. It took me six days to calm down from the heat, three days to open my eyes without flinching and getting dizzy, two days to recover from being lightheaded, and one day to finally get out of bed. Wow, this is the most severe heat I’ve been through. Nagsimula lang talaga ito noong nagkita kaming muli ni Takeru. Akala ko tumalab na ang special inhabitor na tinurok ko sa katawan ko, hindi pala. My body seems to be rejecting the inhabitor since my mate is already around. Sa tingin ko kapag nagkita kaming muli ay hindi ko na kakayanin. I need to go to my doctor. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at nakita ko ang mga texts and calls from my friends and families. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Thank goodness that Kenji, Daisuke, and Kasumi were with me at
"Aoi!" masiglang tawag sa akin ni Kenji.Mas lalo naman na lumawak ang ngiti ko nang makita ko siya. He’s now wearing the white suit we picked for him when we went to the wedding boutique last time.Kenji is one of my cousins, but I consider him not only as my cousin but as my brother. When I needed someone the most, he was there for me. He was the only person who tolerated my horrible hobbies and unreasonable personality. Seeing him in his white wedding suit makes me want to cry."You look handsome," I complimented him.Omega originally had a fair, porcelain-like complexion, which made Kenji even more elegant and graceful. Partnering with his leadership ability, despite being an omega, makes him more powerful. Only by looking, no one could mess with him.I watched him grow up, and seeing him get married makes me feel like I’m going to marry my omega son."Aoi, are you okay with this?" he asked, worriedly.Alam ko na kaagad ang gusto niyang sabihin kaya naman nginitian ko siya. "Kahit
During and after the wedding ceremony, I’ve been grinning from ear to ear. The cute interactions between Kenji and Ryosuke are too much for us—or at least for the people around Ryosuke. They know him as a cold-hearted alpha. Who would have thought that he would be this bent over his omega?Hindi ko rin naman maiwasan na hindi mapalingon sa gawi nina Takeru. Mabuti na lang at hindi niya ako nahuhuli na sumusulyap sa kaniya. Ganoon pa man, hindi rin naman maiwasan na mahuli rin ako ng mga kapatid niya na sumusulyap sa kanila. Paano ko nasabi? Well, they're often looking and glaring at me, and that’s the main reason kung bakit nahuhuli nila akong sumusulyap sa kanila—kay Takeru to be precise.Tapos na ang wedding ceremony and this time, ang celebratory party for the newlywed couple.Unang nagbigay ng messages ang mga kaibigan ni Kenji. Well, classmate niya. They are all beta, and when they learned about Kenji, they didn’t even bother about it. I mean, bago pa man nila malaman na Parella
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 fiancé. 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
In Aoi’s 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 ‘pamilya’ na gusto ni Takeru maramdaman sa totoo niyang pamilya.“At 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 ‘yo, nararapat lamang sa kanila ito.”Nang sabihin iyon ni Takeru sa kaniya, nakahinga siya n
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 doesn’t 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 couldn’t be found. Thus, he only sat at the edge of the bed, staring at nothing.‘What should I do? I don’t have my phone.'He pondered for a while before he sighed.‘Whatever. They are surely going to visit me. Let’s just wait.’He turned the TV on, and the news about Takeru’s siblings immediately flashed in front of him. This made him worried about Takeru’s 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
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.‘That bitch! Huwag lang siyang magpapakitang muli sa akin dahil sisiguraduhin ko na mahihirapan ang buhay niya!’ she said as she rubbed the soap in her body. ‘Fuck! The smell didn’t even reduce a bit! Anong klaseng tubig ba iyon at hindi man lang nababawasan ang baho sa akin! These peasants really piss me off!’After 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 couldn’t 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 isn’t in a good mood.
The police arrived, and they immediately subdued Rage’s 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 isn’t.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.“Ilabas niyo ako rito! Isa akong Orries! Kung hindi ninyo ako ilalabas, makikita ninyo!”Napabuntong 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
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 couldn’t 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
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 son’s doing, it would be over for his son’s life.The Parella family may be an omega, but their connections and power far exceed those of the alphas prominent in their own industries. There’s 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. “Rage, do you have him?”Rage smirked. His eyes were filled with hate. “So what if I had him?” His brow is raising.Margaret's eyes widened. “Rage!” she screamed. “What 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 couldn’t 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.‘Hindi ko alam kung tam aba itong desisyon ko.’Hindi 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 didn’t 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 doesn’t 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 Takeru’s call.For some reason, his lover didn’t call him, not even once. This made him feel the metallic taste in his mouth.‘So, you learn how to not call, huh.’Aoi calmed himself. He tried to justify what Takeru just did. Ever since they got together, Takeru hasn’t missed calling him. However, right now, to his surprise, he hasn’t called him all afternoon.‘Did something happen? ’Worries and anxiety started to surge in his heart. He doesn’t want something bad to happen to his lover, but knowing the things in his family, he couldn’t help but think that something bad really happened.‘No, Aoi, calm down. Hindi porque hindi ka niya tinawagan ay may nangyari nang hindi maganda.’Huminga nang malalim si Aoi at saka si
