JULY
I WOKE UP to the cold feeling at my feet. I tried to open my eyes and immediately returned to closing them because of the excessive light that greeted me.
Wolf? Where are we?
I reached out to my wolf, but she only answered me with a growl. I opened my eyes again, slowly. I know my eyes are still adjusting to the sunlight. At first, it was all blurry, but when my eyes adjusted, I could see clearly where I was.
I was on the shore. The cold feeling I felt at my feet earlier was due to the seawater. I looked around. I was on an island, and there was a huge forest behind me.
Then the memories of why I'm here came back to my thoughts. The attempted kidnapping, the fight in the chopper, the explosion of the chopper, Natalia
JULY"THANK YOU AGAIN," I said. "By the way, did you just make a bonfire?"She turned back, looking at the bonfire."Yep," was her short reply."Wow. I never thought you could do that." There was a hint of amusement in my voice, then she laughed softly. Aww, that laugh. It was music to my ears."You really think I was only a spoiled brat child of the President who doesn't know anything, eh?" she asked, with one brow arched."N-n-n-no. Don't get me wrong. I was just really amazed.""Really?""Yes and no.""You said "yes" but there’s a "no" as we
JULYI WAKED UP EARLY so that I could find shelter for Natalia and me. Though my head still hurts and aches, it's bearable now.I left Natalia, but I made sure to grow the bonfire well first so she wouldn't get cold, and I covered her with some large leaves I saw nearby as her blanket. It was still dark when I left her.I hurriedly looked for whatever materials I could make into a shelter. It's really necessary that we have a place to stay if we will be here on an island like this. My wolf and I can't do anything because we can't contact the Chief or anyone in my pack through our link. I guess we were too far away for them to reach my location. I'm just hoping for the best that the president will hire a reliable and faster search and rescue team.I continued walking in the th
JULYIN THE MORNING…"Nat?" I turned to get up when I didn't feel her next to me.The leaves that may have covered my nakedness were falling when I slept peacefully from our amazing honeymoon last night. Ahh, last night. I couldn’t help but smile as I remembered how Natalia responded to my warm and longing lips. I was so tired because we repeatedly did that as we can’t get enough of each other.I stopped thinking when I saw Nat come up, freshly bathed and carrying som
JULY"IT HAS BEEN TEN DAYS, Juls. They are still not here," Natalia sighed as she rested her head on my shoulder.Here we are again on the beach, looking out and hoping for the passing rescuers. We also lit a bonfire so that anyone in the sky would notice (if there was any) that there was someone here on this island."Shh. Just trust me, babe," I pulled her cl
JULY"WELCOME TO MY KINGDOM. Welcome to... Faerie Landia."I heard everything Ruby said, but I was too taken aback by what I saw now."I-is this true?" I heard Natalia say.We were both still staring at Ruby’s supposed kingdom. And it is truly a kingdom!"Of course!" Ruby said kindly. "Oh, are you just going to stand there? Let's go to my kingdom." And she started to walk.‘Wow really.’ Wow really, wolf.We also followed Ruby. As I walked toward her kingdom, my eyes also wandered. My girlfriend here is doing the same.The size of
NATALIAOKAY. PERHAPS SOME OF YOU are throwing me some profanities in your mind because of our "engagement" with Ely.Maybe some of you are saying, "You're such a bitch, Natalia!" or "That’s fine because you don't deserve July. She's too good for you." or "What the hell, Natalia? Such a freakin' cheater!"Okay, ouch. Ouch. Even though I'm a real bitch, a brat, dramatic, bossy, I'm a rude woman. It hurts to think that that's what you're thinking of me. Well, I'm glad I had the chance to explain my side.For a long time, the author gave me the opportunity to have a point of view.Hear me out, people of the Freelipinas. Please hear my explanation before you conclude with some
JULY"NO," I HEARD my neighbor Ruby whisper.I, on the other hand, could not move and my brain could not process what I heard. All I knew was that I was just looking at Natalia, who was now still looking down.The audience applauded loudly after Ely's announcement, except for the creatures on our table. Like me, the royals at our table were also speechless. My god. Why? Why is this happening?"No!" Ruby could no longer restrain herself. She stood crying, looking at Ely. I clenched my fist because when I look at Ely, she smirks and looks at me with that smug look. "It's not true, isn't it, Ely? Tell me it's not true, Natalia!" Ruby is crying now. Her face was full of tears."Ruby, daughter, sit down. Let's talk about this matter li
NATALIA"SIT DOWN, RUBY. You too, July," I heard the Queen say.We are in a private room now, which they call the family room. Here we all are: The Royal Couple, Aunt Trix, Aunt Alex, Ely, and me. And the newly arrived walk-out girls, July and Ruby.I felt the burning stares of July, but as usual, I couldn't look at her. One hand is also tightly gripped around my right hand. It was Ely's hands that were warning me, as if to say, "Don't do anything stupid."You know what I can do."I hate her so much!Juls, I'm sorry. I need to do this.My heart is crying and screaming. It is not the sam
JULYTHREE DAYS LATER…Take my mind and take my pain,Like an empty bottle takes the rain.And heal, heal, heal, heal.And take my past and take my sins,Like an empty sails the windThat's when the tears that I had been holding back started to flow. It is so annoying! I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't take it anymore. My heart hurts from holding back my emotions. The song is annoying!And heal, heal, heal, heal.And tell me some things last.And tell me some things l
JULYIN THE WHITE HOUSE with the supernaturals... Several days have passed...I informed the president, "The ritual succeeded, sir.""What? What happened to Natalia?" The concern on the president's face was obvious.
ELIZABETH (ELY) "DID YOU CALL ME, SIR?" I asked the sitting Luigi. We are here now in his new office. I simply looked around the room and saw that Mutya was also there. As usual, there are four guards in the corner, and Jessa is on their right side. "You're probably wondering why we moved," Luigi said. He said it casually, but why am I nervous? I tried not to show him my real reaction. "Ah, why exactly, father?" I heard Mutya ask. I'm just observing. "Well, Eva's camp knows where our hideout is," Luigi answered. He alternately looked at Mutya and me. My heart beat faster. I don't like what's happening. "Huh? How did that happen, fath
THIRD PERSON PLAN. Ev's camp has to make a tough plan to stop Luigi and save Natalia without anyone dying or getting hurt. A huge question mark, isn't it? How are you going to save Natalia from what Luigi is planning if the exchange for preventing what happens is her father's life? Her father is the current president, who has serv
JULYTHE REAL MEETING started immediately after dinner. We went to a room that they called a "board room" in Ev’s house. Eva is seriously discussing the "plan.""So, Luigi is now back?" I asked her."Yes," Eva answered. "So far, we don't know his plan yet. All I know is that my sister Ely is his
JULYI DON’T WANT to leave Natalia in WH, but I have to go to the special assignment given to me by Chief Emilio, my Dad.I am now in Marion City with Jacqui, Rizal, and Andres. The selected supernaturals will have a meeting. Only now will I attend this gathering because we don't usually collaborate with Supreme Arch and other supernaturals in Marion because Valiente wants to preserve the pack. Unexpectedly, my mate is not a wolf, but a mermaid, so we need to cooperate with the Supreme Arch.(A/N: In case you forgot, the Supreme Arch was the organization of supernaturals that was supposed to punish Amor because she's a hybrid vampire.)Ev, the Chosen One, said that we would meet at her house with her wife, Amor.Previously,
SOFIA"HEY," I SAID, startling Natalia, who was staring at her phone once more. "Still waiting for her call?"She nodded and sighed. We are at the amusement park, and her mood is still gloomy. We are here at the bottom of Star Frisbee waiting for Haruka. She rode there three times, and here she is, still waiting in line to ride it."You know, you're clingy," I joked with her and she smiled, but I was hit on the arm before that.Finally, Natalia speaks. "I'm just worried.""Is there something to be worried about?" I asked in astonishment. Still looking up at the rides where Haruka was."I don't know. Girlfriend instinct?" I heard her say.I
NATALIA"GIRL, WE CAN HANG clothes in your mouth because you are pouting too much," Haruka said. She was saying those words to me."Was July the one who called?" Sofia asked. I nodded. "Then why are you sulking?""She said she has a special assignment. She will be gone for a month or more." I rolled over on the bed as the two were busy with their respective phones while sitting on the couch. I am so sad. I stared at my phone, but I didn't tap it. Maybe I’m still waiting for July’s follow-up call."Oh, yeah? You should have expected that. Your girlfriend is a special agent," Sofia said.I just snorted."She is sad because she will not get good love for a whole month. Once you get wet, you never want to go back dry." Haruka is really testing my patience."Then you are the lucky one who will have plenty of sex!" Annoyed, I threw a pillow at her. I failed to hit her. She dodged. "Really," Haruka teased. "Pia, let’s showtime in front of Nat. Let's make her jealous." The bitch smiled fooli
NATALIA"IT'S FUCKING Valentine's Day and she's still not greeting me!" I jumped out of bed and stomped in annoyance when I saw that I had not received a text from July. "She won't even ask me on a date now? She won't make amends for what she did?" I shouted at my phone. As if it would reach July. "What more does she want? Do I have to be the first to wish her a happy Valentine's? Gosh, I can't believe her! She said, she'll make sure to pamper me from now on!" I threw my phone on the bed. I was trampling like a child again and crying. No tears flowed. It was a fake. I just like to be dramatic."Ma'am? Ma'am? Are you okay, ma'am?" Kakay rushed in. "Are you in pain? Where? Here?" She touches my forehead. My forehead furrowed. But she still didn't stop. "Here?" She touched me on the neck. "Here?" She's sincerely worried. I can see that, but she's touching the wrong part."Get your filthy hands off my breast!" I shouted, to her surprise. She immediately backed away."I'm just so worried a
