"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 naman ayaw nila sa akin, wala naman silang magagawa. Isa pa, ikaw ang nag-imbita sa akin hindi sila. Why would I feel worried or affected?"
He solemnly looked at me, then sighed. "Fine." He took my hand and smiled at me. Naramdaman ko naman ang panginginig ng kamay niya. "If ever you feel uncomfortable, just leave, okay? I-text mo na lang ako kung umalis ka, naiintindihan mo ba?"
Tumango naman ako. I patted the back of his hand. "Yes, I understand. You don’t have to be nervous," I told him and then hugged him. "I’m really proud of you, Kenji. Despite being recessive, you found your fated mate. You deserve it more than anyone else."
I heard him sniffle a little. Napaalis naman ako sa pagkakayakap. "Don’t cry. Baka mamaya isipin ng iba na binully kita," natatawa ko na sabi. "Congratulations on your wedding, cousin."
He smiled widely at me. "Thank you, big brother Aoi."
We talked for a little longer, and then I left. Hindi naman kasi ako pwede magtagal doon dahil maya maya pa ay tatawagin na rin siya to walk to the ailes.
Nang makarating ako sa loob ay napansin ko naman na marami nang tao. Dahil galing na rin naman ako rito kanina nang wala pang tao, alam ko na kung saan ako at ang circle ko naka-upo. Since we’re Kenji’s circle members, we have priority. Also, given na pinsan din ako ni Kenji, talagang polite ang iba sa akin.
Habang naglalakad ay nararamdaman ko ang matatalim na tingin, and for sure, na galing ito sa mga mata ng pamilya ni Takeru. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari o kung may nagawa man akong hindi maganda para mangyari ito. I mean, dahil lang bas a wala akong magandang family background sa kanilang pag-imbistiga ay gaganitohin na nila ako? They are more unreasonable than I am.
"Aoi!"
Naalingo naman ako at mas lalong napalawak ang ngiti ko nang makita koa ng ilan sa mga pinsan naming ni Kenji.
"The hell, Aoi, bakit ngayon ka lang nagpakita sa amin? Balita ko ay noong nakaraan ka pa nakauwi." Napangiwi naman ako nang magsimula nang magsalita nag nakakatanda naming pinsan na si Kuya Luie.
"Big brother Luie, may inasikaso pa po kasi ako." Napakamot naman ako sa ulo ko.
Pinagalitan pa ako ng mga nakakatanda kong pinsan at ang mga nakakabata naman naming pinsan ni Kenji ay sinuportahan ang mga nakakatanda naming pinsan. Ang galing naman, pinagkaisahan ako.
"Sige na, magpunta ka na sa circle table mo. Alam naman naming ayaw mo na may makaalam kung sino ka," nakangiting sambit ni Kuya Rob saka kumindat sa akin.
Parang gusto ko sakalin itong mga ito. Alam pala nila pero sabay sabay pa rin silang nagsipuntahan sa akin at kinausap ako. ‘Yung totoo?
After ko na makipag-usap sa mga pinsan ko ay isa isa ko naman na nakasalubong ang mga magulang nila. Isa isa rin naman nila akong pinagalitan at binigyan ng advice. In the end, sinabihan nila akong umuwi rin dahil sa nag-aalal sina mommy at daddy sa akin.
Napayuko pa ako nang pinapagalitan nila ako pero alam ko naman na tama sila. "Opo, uuwi po ako kapag day-off ko." Ngumiti ako sa kanila.
Lahat sina tito at tita ay napabuntong hininga na lang dahil alam nila kung ano ang ugali ko. Wala kasing makakapagpabago sa akin kung ganito ang desiyon ko at natakot din sila na baka mamaya ay umalis din ako at hindi magsabi sa kanila gaya ng ginawa ni Kenji noong gulong gulo siya sa relasyon nilang dalawa ni Kenji.
"Wow, grabe ang traffic na dinaanan mo," pang-aasar sa akin ni Kasumi nang makarating ako sa table namin.
Mahina naman akong natawa. "Expected ko na naman na mangyayari ito hindi ko lang talaga kaalin na magiging ganito pala ka-hectic."
Natawa sila pero napansin ko naman si Daisuke na hindi tumawa at sobrang seryoso. Napakunot naman ang noo ko saka nagtanong, "May problema ba, Daisuke? May napapansin ka ba?"
Daisuke flinched and then looked at me worriedly. "Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari pero ang grupo hindi kalayuan sa atin sa may bandang kanan ay parang gusto ka nang patayin. Kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin nila ay siguradong lamay ang meron ngayon hindi kasal," sambit niya.
Napakunot naman ako. "Sino?"
Lilingon na sana ako nang pigilan ako ni Rayle. "Ang pamilya lang iyon ni Takeru," sambit niya at kaagad ko rin naman ito naintindihan.
"Oh, sila lang pala."
Kumunot si Daisuke. "Bakit ganiyan sila makatingin sa ‘yo? Impossible naman na may ginawa ka sa kanila. For sure, sila ang may kasalanan," kaagad naman na sambit ni Daisuke.
Nakita ko na napayukom ang kaniyang mga kamay kaya naman hinawakan ko ito at sinabing, "Sasabihin ko pagnag-meeting tayo. Hindi ito ang oras para pansinin ang walang kwentang mga tao. Sa ngayon kailangan natin na bigyan ng magandang kasal sina Kenji at Ryosuke."
Kaagad din naman nawala nag masamang aura sa mga ka-member ko at lalong lalo na kay Kasumi nang sabihin ko iyon. Ayaw naming masira ang pinakahihintay ni Kenji na araw at sa oras na ito ay magiging isa na talaga sila mapa-bond man o legal na paraan.
Supporting him is the only thing we can do for him.
Hindi na nagsalita pa ng hindi magaganda sina Daisuke at nag-improve na rin naman ang mood ni Kasumi. Si Haru naman ay nakangiti habang nakikingi sa kwento ni Rayle kina Daisuke at Kasumi. Seeing them like this really warms my heart.
Napakimbig naman ako nang maramdaman ko ang isang pamilyar na pakiramdam. Napakumo ang kamao ko at saka ako pumikit. Pinilit ko na kalmahin ang sarili ko. Bago ako magpunta rito ay nagturok ako ng limang special inhabitors dahil alam ko na narito siya at ayako na masira ko ang araw ni Kenji. Hindi ko hahayaan na may masabi sila sa akin at lalong lalo na kay Kenji.
Napalingon ako sandal at nahagip naman ng tingin ko ang pigura ni Takeru na nakatalikod sa akin at nakikipag-usap sa magulang niya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nila pero sa tingin ko hindi iyon maganda dahil hindi rin maganda ang ekspresyon ng mga mukha ng kaniyang magulang. Nahagip naman ng tingin ko ang sa mga kapatid ni Takeru at tama nga si Daisuke, nakakamatay nga ang tingin nila.
Nakikita ko na nagtataka sila dahil nandito ako, let alone nakaupo ako sa special table. Kung gagamitin nila ang utak nila ay siguradong maiisip nila na part ako ng circle ni Kenji. Pero dahil sa mga utak nila ay utak talangka, siguradong hindi nila iyon naisip at nagagalit sila dahils a marami akong kilalang taong may mga matataas na katungkulan.
Paano ko nalaman? Hindi kasi nakawala sa tingin ko ang mga tingin nila habang kausap ko ang mga pinsan ko sa Parella pati na rin ang mga tito at tita ko sa Parella family. Para sa kanila, isa lamang akong mababang klaseng omega na nabigyan ng pagkakataon na maging part ng circle ni Kenji. Para sa kanila wala pa ring mas mababa sa akin.
"Aoi," tawag sa akin ng isang lalaki.
Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko nang makita ko si kuya na nasa harapan ko. "Big brother…" mahina ko na sambit.
Hinigit niya ang upuan na nasa pagitan naming dalawa ni Haru at naupo sa tabi ko saka humarap sa akin. "Nakita ko na nakausap mo na sina tito at tita ngunit hindi ka pa rin pumunta sa amin para kausapin kami. Papaiyakin mo ba si Mommy?"
Napanguso naman ako at umiling. "Hindi ko lang gusto ng atensyon—"
"Aoi." Napaupo naman ako ng deretso nang marinig ko ang warning ni kuya sa pagtawag sa pangalan ko. "Umuwi ka mamaya, naiintindihan mo ba?"
Tumango na lang ako dahil alam ko naman na hindi ako mananalo kay kuya. Ang kaninang nakasimangot niyang mukha ay bigla rin namang umaliwalas nang makitan iyang tumango ako.
"Hihintayin ka namin," nakangiti niyang sambit at saka nagpaalam kina Kasumi.
Nang makaalis si kuya ay napabuntong hininga naman ako. Narinig ko naman ang mahina na pagtawa ni Haru, kaya naman sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"Hindi ka talaga nananalo kay Kuya Kei, ano?" natatawa nitong sambit.
I rolled my eyes. "Kung gusto ninyong tumawa ay gawin na ninyo. Bukod kay Daisuke ay sigurado naman akong laman na ninyo kung bakit hindi ko magawang sumagot kay kuya Kei, di ba?"
Napatikom naman ng kanilang mga bibig sina Haru, Kasumi, at Rayle. Maliban kay Daisuke na nagtataka at naku-curious ay nakita ko naman ang takot sa mukha ng tatlo. I snorted. Ang lakas mang-asar ng mga ito isa rin pala sila sa takot kay Kuya Kei.
Si Kuya Kei ay isang alpha at ang pinaka nakakatanda kong kapatid. Hindi lang ako ang natatakot sa kaniya kundi pati na rin itong mga ka-circle ko. Bakit? May nangyari kasi noon na talagang ikinatatak sa isipan naming lahat.
Third-person point of view
Nanggagalaiti naman sa inis ang mga magulang ni Takeru at sa inggit naman ang mga kapatid nito. Nakikita nilang maraming kakilala si Aoi sa mga nasa upper class at hindi nila ito maintindihan. Isa lamang ordinaryong omega si Aoi at hindi nila gusto na makitang mas maraming kakilala ito at mas malawak ang koneksyon niya.
"Mom, nakita mo iyon? Inismiran niya ako!"
"Mom, kung hindi natin bibigyan ng leksyon ang omega na iyon hindi ako mapapanatag."
"Dad, pwede bang akin na lamang ang omega na iyan? Wala naman sigurong pinagkaiba since iniwan na siya ni Takeru, di ba?"
Sinamaan sila ng tingin ng kanilang mga magulang.
"Tumahimik kayo. Kung hindi kayo marunong tumahimik umalis na lang kayo. Hindi ba ninyo pipigilan iyang mga bibig ninyo? Maraming tao tapos nagsasalita kayo ng ganiyan?" binigyan naman ng kanilang ama ang kaniyang mga anak. "Bukod kay Takeru ay puro kayo useless," dagdag nito.
"Honey, huwag ka naman—"
"Adora, baka nakakalimutan mo, hindi tayo rito para sa omega na iyan. Isa pa, did you already forget the thing you agreed with Takeru when he broke up with him? Kung oo, ipapaalala ko sa ‘yo, we shouldn’t mess with or touch that omega, or else Takeru will surely turn his back on us completely. Understood?"
Dahil sa warning ng ama ni Takeru ay napayukom na lamang ang mga anak nito at napatikom naman ng bibig ang kaniyang asawa at saka tumango tango. Alam ng ama ni Takeru na hindi madaling kausap ang kaniyang anak na si Takeru at kung hindi lamang useless ang iba niyang anak ay siguradong hindi niya hahayaan na mapasakamay ito ni Takeru.
That alpha needs to be watched. Takeru stopped treating us as his parents the moment we told him to break up with that omega. Seeing that Omega’s connection is wider than Shion's makes me feel bad. He makes me lose some face.
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
At nang-asar pa nga sina Kasumi, nang makita nilang wala na akong ibang magagawa kundi ang mag-step forward. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at kinuha ko ang hawak hawak na mic ng emcee. Nagpunta ako sa harapan at saka humarap kay Kenji at Ryosuke. Nang makita ko na nakangiti ang dalawa, lalong lalo na si Kenji ay binaling ko na lang ang tingin ko sa mga bisita. Inikot ko ang tingin ko at lahat sila ay may iba't ibang ekspresyon. Of course, it was rare for us to come up on stage and let everyone know about our existence. After all, we are not fond of being watched."Hello, good day, everyone." I greeted them. I am not worried about speaking in front of many people since everyone around me is always telling me how good my voice sounds in the ears of the listeners. That is also the reason why a lot of students, way back when I was in college, wanted to be part of my team or group. "I am Aoi Takeshi, the second-in-command in the Omega Keys Circle. Well, let me tell you a story about how ou
As time passed, I could feel that my body was starting to deteriorate. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung tama ba talaga ang naging desisyon ko noon o hindi. Still, my mind, my heart, everything to me, does not want to let him go.I clenched my fist on my chest. I started to feel a pain on my chest combine with the pain on my nape. When I was in the hospital for an hour, I felt like I wanted to puke. I don’t want to be there any longer. Pakiramdam ko kapag nagstay pa ako roon ay mas lalo pa akong mahihirapan bukod pa sa sitwasyon ko."Are you really sure na okay ka na?" dinig ko na tanong ni Mr. Choi, ang isa sa secretary ni Ryosuke.Ngumiti ako. "I may have looked pale, frail, and fragile, but I am not," I answered. "Sorry for causing a little disturbance," I added.Kaagad naman na napatigil si Mister Choi sa kaniyang ginagawa at naayos naman ako ng upo nang marinig ko ang pagpalo ni Miss Tan sa mesa niya."Sorry? Disturbance? Sir Takeshi, you’re looking down on yourself too much. Hindi ka dis
"All right, I'll do it." Napabuntong hininga na lang ako nang matapos akong makipag-usap kay Ryosuke sa phone. Hindi ko alam kung anong balak ng lalaking ito dahil pakiramdam ko ay pinaparusahan niya ako. Hindi ba siya aware na baka makita ko roon si Takeru? And isa pa itong si Kenji. Wasn't he the one who hated Takeru the most? Why does it seem like he's helping him to meet me? I sighed. Whatever the case, I couldn't do something about this one. I should just follow his orders. Napayukom naman ako ng kamao ko. I left the room yesterday when he arrived at Ryosuke's office. And now, may chance na magkita na naman kami and at worst, ay baka mag-usap pa kami since this is a joint project. I massaged my temple as I tried to calm myself down. This is going to be a very heavy and tiring project so far. I hope I can pull myself out of this mess as soon as possible. After I'm done preparing for myself, I get ready to leave. When I was at the bus stop, I frowned when I saw a familiar car.
I groaned when I heard my alarm clock go off. Sh!t, why do I have to go to the company early this morning? I should have been able to lie down for an hour or two, but because of Ryosuke and Kenji, I couldn't.I sat up, sighing. Napahawak ako sa leeg ko nang maramdaman ko na naman ang pamilyar na sakit nito. Hindi ito kasing intense ng kagabi, pero nagagawa pa rin nitong mapangiwi ako. I should have been able to tolerate it since it's been five years since I felt this pain, but I couldn't. Since the very start, I couldn't tolerate it. The pain I felt inside feels so much lalo na ngayong nasa iisang lugar ako with Takeru. I expected this to happen since before, but this is too much. For the nth time, I sighed again. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I should get ready, or else, I'm going to be late. I stayed up late last night not because I was reading the things needed for today's meeting but because of the mark on my nape. It wouldn't let me sleep even a wink.
"Sir Shion, we are here to reduce the risk even further." I know that a lot of companies wanted to collaborate with you, but we are all aware of why you chose us. It was to lessen your risk, so don't make us repeat ourselves." Wow, Mister Choi is really something. Siguro dahil sa matagal niyang pananatili sa tabi ni Ryosuke ay nakuha na rin niya ang ilan sa mga habbit ng boss niya. I mean, him being dominant in this meeting despite being a secretary really lives up to the expectations of the people. "Mister Shion, giving you the list of models that will participate may offend your designer. I hope you are not the kind of person who will choose profit over something more important." I subconsciously looked at Takeru. Heh. Why are you looking so hurt? Aren't you the one who did that. "It wasn't our forte, and even though we have our way to contact them, it wasn't good to bypass your designer. That person did his best to design the best clothing for your company, and I hope you treat t
Napahawak na lamang ako sa sintido ko nang makarating ako sa labas ng office. Argh, my head hurts. Hindi ko akalain na ganoon ang magiging sitwasyon ko sa loob.I smiled wryly. Wow, I managed to endure everything from the very start. Even though the omega tried to provoke me, he did not win. Also, Takeru's gaze makes me feel a little happy.I opened my palm and stared at it. It still has Takeru’s pheromones. He is still the same as before. I smiled. He let me sniff some of his pheromones in front of his fiancé. I don’t know if it was okay, but it was definitely not appropriate.I sighed. I guess it calls for a drink.I took out my cellphone and chatted with our group chat.Who’s going to drink with me? Not long after that, they all replied. Kasumi couldn’t go with me since he’s still busy in the bar. Meanwhile, Kenji was still on honeymoon. As for Daisuke, he’s trying to hide since he saw the alpha who tried to mark him in our country. Only Rayle and Haru are available. Since Rayle i
Napatitig ako sa labas ng bintana. Rayle's apartment is on the top of the mountain. Thus, we could see almost everything from our rooms.I sighed. Should I or should I not?I was nervously fidgeting with my fingers. If ever I get my hopes up, I will surely get hurt. I don't know if I could still handle the pain if it happened twice. I will surely die of literal heartbreak."But what they told me makes me think about it thoroughly." I looked down.When I heard the door of the balcony open, I looked at it. I saw Rayle's alpha coming out of Rayle's room.He looked at me, smiled, and bowed his head. "Hello, you're still up?"I slowly nodded my head. "Yeah," I answered, looking back at the scenery in front of me. "Usually, I was already dead asleep, but I couldn't.""Too many things on your mind?"I only uttered an "En" while nodding my head twice. Well, it was normal for me to talk to other alphas like this since I am not the type of person who likes to talk a lot now.Since that day, I
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
