JULY
"AGENT MERCADO? Are you okay?" I heard the president ask.
"Mission is mission." I heard my wolf say it again.
"I’m okay, sir. I'll accept the maid's outfit. It's my job and duty to make everything perfect on this mission. I can't compromise the name of our agency, sir,” I said politely.
He was smiling widely at what I said. "I know I can count on you, July. I think we can get along."
‘Thank you, father-in-law.’
Wolf! Shut up!
My ‘wolf’ is growing teasing me. Tsk!
"As I said, sir, it's all for the sake of the job," I seriously said
"Thank you, July. Hold on. Just a moment," he said and motioned his hand to the nearest guard. The guard immediately approached him. "Tell Kakay, I need her here." The guard nodded and left immediately.
Soon after, Kakay arrived, who looked like Kakay the Comedienne. Her aura is so kind. She was pleasantly smiling at me. And because I'm kind by nature, I smiled back.
"Mr. President, do you need me?" Kakay asked.
I almost burst out laughing as Kakay Comedienne's voice was the same as hers. What are they... twins?
I just averted my eyes from the pictures hanging on the wall to distract myself. And that's when I noticed that the pictures of the ex-presidents were lined up there. And on the bottom table are the pictures that I can't see very well because the frames are quite small, but there was a big frame with Natalia's picture on it that my eyes were glued to.
"Imprint now! What a beauty! Let’s take her as a mate!" That was my wolf again.
Then you will regret it one of these days when you choose her. I answered her.
"Nahhh... Mate! Mate!" she shouted. Wow, I guess I spoiled this ‘wolf’ too much.
"Uhm, July?" I heard someone calling my name. When I turned around, it was the president.
"Yes, sir?" Damn, I think I'm zoning out more often these days. Not good.
"These are the uniforms..." he handed me the black and white uniform that is the same as what Kakay is wearing now. I was reluctant to accept them.
"Kakay will lead you to where you will stay."
"Okay, sir."
I will not show that I am disappointed in what is happening. I keep reminding myself that it’s my mission. After all, I am the best at covering missions. I will not embarrass Valiente just because I don’t like my mission now.
"Let's go, agent!" the maid said.
I stood up, holding the uniform he gave me and my leather jacket.
Kakay walked first, and I just followed.
It was the first time I got inside WH, and I can say it was the place where you could see yourself on the floor because the marble tiled floor is so clean.
The interiors are old and look good with new designs that complement them. Before, I thought the White House was all pure white, but now, I can't help but be impressed with its designers.
We passed a lot of rooms before Kakay stopped in a room on the right.
"This will be your room, agent..." she said and opened that room.
I wasn't surprised at how beautiful it was because I was expecting it and the beauty and size of that room are not far from my room in our mansion.
"Thank you, Kakay..." I said with a pleased smile.
The room was plain white, which I liked because I was a bit picky about colors. Jacqui even quoted that I am a "neat freak". And I love the color white. It was plain and simple.
"You are welcome, agent," she said, smiling. I smiled back.
“It's July, Kay. Just call me July," I said with a toothy grin and turned away from her.
She’s still not leaving. I can still sense her even when I turn my back. I was expecting her to leave earlier when I turned around, but she was just giddily standing there with a wide smile looking at me.
My wolf asked, "What’s wrong with her?"
I replied, "I don’t know." Kakay was still smiling and looking at me.
I wanted to see if the uniform she gave me fit, but I don't want to undress in front of her, despite my sexy body.
"Ahh... I'm okay, Kay…” I said in a friendly way. I hope she gets what I mean.
"Get out, maid! Privacy! Go away. Shoo!" shouted my wolf. My wolf is so mean sometimes.
“Don’t be harsh! Stop being so mean!” I told my wolf. She just scoffed.
I don't know why my wolf is like that. I am kind and respectful. My wolf is my opposite. She's so hyper and has anger issues. But I'm still thankful she's my wolf because, even though she's like that, we're still a perfect team. Especially in combat.
"Oh yes. I'm sorry, Miss July. It’s just that I am so stunned at your beauty. Are you a model? Or are you an actress? Can you give me an autograph?" she asked, looking at me like she saw a famous person.
Now I understand why she’s not leaving yet. I smiled at what she said.
"No..." I replied.
"Oh, I thought you were an actress or a model. You're so beautiful. You're so tall. When you decide to be an actress, I will be your number one fan. That’s a promise!"
"Thank you..." I was so amused at her fangirling.
That conversation was interrupted because her phone rang. She answered the phone, and I continued to look around the room.
"Uhm, excuse me, Miss July, don't you need anything anymore?" I looked at her as I shook my head, meaning I didn’t need anything from her. "I have to leave because the princess is calling me." As she said the word "princess" her face suddenly turned sour.
"Princess?" I wondered.
"Yes. The spoiled princess..." she sighed. "All right. It's nice to meet you, Miss July. I hope you will not have a hard time watching over the spoiled princess..." she said and left before I could ask anything from her again.
My eyebrows raised, thinking about what Kakay said. I already have an idea of who she calls the spoiled princess, but I still can't believe that a beautiful angel-like person is a super opposite in real life. You can’t judge someone based on their mere appearance.
And I don’t need more proof to verify that she is the spoiled princess because I heard Natalia ranting to Kakay about trivial things. She’s super demanding too. This is typically rich, entitled behavior.
How did I know that? I'm a wolf, remember? I'm no ordinary human being. I can hear people’s conversations for a limited time of 2-3 miles.
After wearing the maid's uniform, I went to the big cabinet. There was a tall mirror attached to it. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
My wolf said, "Not bad." I agree with her. I shrugged and nodded and arranged my brown hair into a bun.
After I fixed my hair, I looked at myself in the mirror again. I am still wearing my boots, and they match what I am wearing. I can say that the woman in the mirror is superbly hot in a maid's uniform.
I cannot believe this uniform would suit me. I picked up my phone and took a picture and sent it to Jacqui. She immediately replied by saying "hot maid" in her text.
I know she'll say that. She's my best friend, anyway. She will always be on my side. We have no malice either because Jacqui is straight. Also, I won't hit on her. She's my effin' best friend! I shouldn’t even think about her like that.
“Right! Why do you think that way?” my wolf asked.
I just ignored her. I organized my things first, and then I left that room to go to the kitchen because I was so thirsty.
My thirst increased when I didn’t immediately see where the kitchen was. The WH was massive! Where is the kitchen?!
I looked for guards to assist me, but they weren't around anymore. Just when I needed them, they were nowhere to be found!
"I’m hungry!" my wolf demanded. Oh shit! I just remembered that I forgot to eat breakfast earlier because I was in a rush.
"No worries. We’re going to eat," I said.
“Finally! Finally!" my wolf replied, sarcastically. I did not quarrel with her again because it was my fault.
A few more turns and I, at last, found WH’s dirty kitchen. No one was there, so I decided to just serve myself food.
I ate the first meat I saw in the refrigerator and more other raw meat products because my monster wolf was very hungry.
I continued eating until my wolf was satisfied and I drank the bottled water I saw in the refrigerator.
"Hey, you! Bring us something to eat in my room. ASAP!" I heard someone say it from behind.
My wolf shouted happily, "My mate!"
I was so stunned I could not speak, not knowing what to do.
Then I heard my heartbeat getting louder.
Am I having a heart attack?
NATALIA WHAT IS THE DEAL of our housemaid? Why is she refusing to face me? Does she have a stiff neck? Or is she scared of me? Instead of confronting the maid, I just ignored her and went back to the room, still happily humming because no one could give me bad vibes today. I'm happy because my super gal friends and I are in travel mode again. It's nice to be the president's daughter. Woohoo! I'm in good spirits, so I didn't scold the maid earlier as long as she would just deliver the food I asked for. With a wide smile, I returned to the room where I found Sofia busy using my laptop while the flirty Haruka was busy calling someone from her cell phone.
NATALIA HARUKA KNEW SHE GOT ME REALLY EXCITED. If that friend of mine is flirty, then I'm even more flirtatious than her. Besides, if that agent is really HOT, then I can definitely enjoy wandering around the country because I'm with her. Why? Because I will have an instant playmate. Ain’t it fun? Yey! I ran to Dad's office and met my guards who were tailing me again, but I warned them not to follow. They complied and stood in the corner. Very good, boys. I have four freaking guards. They were all tall and well-built, but in my mind, they were just my robots. My servants, assistants, lackey, etcetera. I am used to having bodyguards all the time. But why am I acting weird towards this new lady guard? ‘I’m just curiou
NATALIA "WHY THE LONG FACE, GIRL?" Haruka asked me as I returned to the room. They were still in front of the laptop and were still probably booking where we were touring. They were so earnest about this trip because they would also benefit from it. I frowned and fell onto the bed. I can't understand why I'm so disappointed that I didn't see Agent July. Yes, I didn't get to meet Agent July because this is what happened... Flashback… "Mr. President, you have a visitor," Jessa said, glancing at me. I just winked at her and I saw her blush. She turned my gaze to my father. I smirked at her bearing. "Who, Jes?" Dad asked.
JULY AT WH GATE… 11 P.M. "Hey sis, glad you're back," Rizal greeted me. "Oh, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to watch the president's daughter?" I asked hesitantly while getting out of the passenger side of the car. "The other guards are there, big sis. Besides, she's more frightening than the chief. She’s like a tiger and very bratty," Rizal complained. Uh-oh. On the very first day he substituted for me, he immediately tasted the bitterness of that woman? ‘She’s not a bitch! She’s our mate!’ my wolf said. I ignored her. "Why? What happened?" Jacqui asked, coming out of the driver's side. We were on a mission together ea
NATALIAI WOKE UP EARLY THAN USUAL TODAY.Besides, my dream was so good that I woke up feeling amazed. I'm feeling extra happy today, so when I looked at what time it was, I was surprised that it was still around six in the morning.Wow! Ever since I graduated from architecture, this is the only time I got up so early, as far as I remember. I feel so good due to waking up this early.I got up while humming random songs. I quickly checked my phone's notifications on Watty to see if there was an update from my favorite story, "Probinsyana" but there was none. Perhaps on Saturday, the author will update again. The recent bonus chapter was the reason why I had a good night's sleep.With that in mind, I suddenly felt hot and needed a quick shower. Last night, I dreamed of m
NATALIA "BREAKFAST IS READY!" Kakay announced. I looked at the two first with another bad look and stormed off to go to the dining room. Isat next to Dad, who was sitting at the center chair. The others followed. "Let's go, July baby," I heard Haruka say. She made July sit in Sofia's former seat. Sofia sat down next to me, mumbling something under her breath. I was still giving them a death glare that the agent couldn't see because she was too busy flirting with Haruka. Shit! Why am I like this? Why do I gnaw so much at what I see? Maybe, maybe, because Angelina Jolie prefers this "pretty raw Japanese lady" to my beauty? Ouch! I am even more beautiful than Haruka
HARUKA "NAT, LET ME BORROW the magazine you were reading earlier," I said softly to my friend, who was now asleep. Sophia and I are on a private plane going to Mindanao. First stop, Iligan City! Natalia did not budge. I called her again, but she ignored me. Her head is leaning on the chair with eyes closed, but I know she's not asleep yet. I could clearly see her fingers tapping on the arm of the chair. That’s why I know she's still awake and we haven't traveled too far for her to fall asleep right away. "Nat?" No answer. But I just noticed that ever since we arrived at WH this morning, she has been ignoring me. What could be the problem? "Do you need something, Miss Haruka?" Suddenly, a brave agent appears. I immediately smiled at her as I nodded and pointed to the magazine next to Natalia. "The magazine, Miss?" she asked politely again. I nodded and then she took the magazine. I saw her mouth open. Maybe she asked for permission from Natalia as she would take the magazine. My
JULY ‘SIMPLY GLANCING. AHA!’ my wolf teased me. Actually, it was true. Earlier, I was simply looking at Natalia. She is already asleep and she looks so peaceful, I can't help but stare at her angelic face. Since breakfast, she doesn't pay attention to me anymore. She is just giving me a glare. My system just got used to what she was doing. I was thankful that she was only throwing a bad look at me. I prefer that, instead of slapping me or shouting bad words at me. Because I swear, I can’t afford to silence her. I feel like I'm running out of patience with this woman's behavior. Oh god! Earlier, she kept shouting at Kakay and other housemaids while they were packing her things. And based on the things she packed, I thought she was going to take her whole room on this tour. I really hate brats. We're rich, but we haven't been brats and super insulting to people, but Natalia, gaah... She's a devil! ‘Give her a passionate and knee-wobbling kiss, Juls. Then mate, mate, mate!’ There’s
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
