Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 13- "Missing you, baby!"
"Pass your assignments forward," the professor instructed.Since I was absent for two days, I had nothing to pass. Still, I was responsible for getting the paper of my classmate sitting at my back to relay them forward until they reached the teacher's hand.Without saying anything, when Trey passed his paper to me since he was sitting at my back, I accepted it without a word, too, and I even avoided looking at him. If only I had a choice, I wouldn't want any interaction with him. But I didn't have, and it was my responsibility to get his paper and pass it forward because his seat was behind me.I could almost thank the heavens that I survived the whole period without having to talk to him or to even meet eyes with him. I, or should I say both of us, pretended to be back to zero, as if we never knew each other and being complete strangers to each one.Gratefully, weekend came and I finally had a break from the stressful and exhausting school works.I went on a jog early in the morning.

"Oh, my dear Camila, I'm so glad you came!" Just as I walked inside the restaurant where mom had asked me to meet her, she gave me a warm embrace and a kiss me on the cheek. I just smiled, feeling a bit awkward. "Hi, mom." She held me on my shoulders and looked at me with a wide smile on her face. "Hey, how are you, beautiful? I missed you a lot! How long had it been since we last spoke? Anyway, let’s sit down, dear." She brought me to a seat in front of the table where various foods were already set out and waiting to be eaten. I could remember I debated with myself yesterday whether to come and meet her today or not when I read her text message. I actually thought about it the whole day, and yeah, I decided to go on and see her. "I'm alright, mom. How about you?" "Oh, I'm so happy, of course, because you agreed to see me today! I have been so excited since last night for this lunch date with my dearest daughter!" I smiled small but genuinely. Somehow, no matter how I felt d

I wasn't really able to sleep well that night after hearing those exchanges of conversations, so when the next day came, early in the morning, I packed my things, and mom was taken aback to see me in the living room with my luggage, fully clothed and ready to leave…"Camila, where are you going, my dear!" she asked."I have decided to go back to dad's house, mom.""But why, Camila? Aren't you happy being here?"I looked away from that. I always felt like I didn't belong here, who would be happy with that kind of feeling?"Uhm, mom, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but last night, I overheard you and uncle Raul arguing about my stay here.""Oh!" She was genuinely apologetic. "Camila, I'm so sorry."I shook my head understandingly. "It's alright, mom. I understand. And I'm not even mad about it. Uncle Raul actually has a point. I don't belong here, I don't belong to this family…" My heart stung with those words."Camila, don't say that! You're my daughter!" And she embraced me.I responded t

"How are you? You actually survive that afternoon incident? We all thought you were dead already—""Mom, that's enough." I interrupted to cut my mother’s words out, stood beside her, and gently held her arm.She looked at me. Actually, all of them looked at me.I turned to Trey and apologized, "I'm sorry, Trey."He didn't respond, but he finally seemed to get what was happening…Mom was even more amazed. "So, you knew all this time that he's alive? Wow! Why haven't you told me about it? And what? Why didn't you call him 'Noah?'""Mom, he is not Noah," I said in a low voice, totally feeling embarrassed in front of the Gregoris watching.Mom stopped for a bit to let what I said sink into her mind.I continued, "That's Trey Gregori. He's my classmate in Biology class. He and his cousins." I eye-gestured the other Gregoris alongside Trey himself.Few seconds later, mom awoke to her senses. "Oh! So, I got it wrong? He isn't Noah, after all!""Yeah. He is not him, mom," I emphasized.She tu

I couldn't really be wrong!I saw them with my own two eyes! Her eyes quickly changed color! From the very flaming pupils to the normal colors I usually see around!"Barbara, it's you!"My gaze also caught those long nails that seemed like they were animal claws! I couldn't see it wrongly, I really saw them raw! But she seemed so quick to hide her hands on her back."What happened to you? Are you alright?" I checked on her, back into looking at her seemed-tired and anxious face.She nodded as if she wasn't in her senses, and she couldn't directly look into my eyes. "Yeah.""Are you sure? You wanna go to the clinic? I can assist you going there—""No!" she quickly cut me off, but immediately realized, too, that she was reacting a bit strangely. She sighed and gathered herself together. "I mean, I'm alright. No harm, Camila. Just the usual digestive issues, but I'd be all fine later on. No worries."I was still not convinced. The excessive sweating on her forehead couldn't really agree

"Are you following me?" I asked him directly.Honestly, I chose to ignore him at first but later on, as I saw that he was really following me, I stopped walking and went straight to him to ask.Trey looked at me blankly. "No." With that, he passed by me.I was a bit embarrassed by that. What the heck!I walked again, passing him and getting ahead, making my footsteps bigger.When I turned around to look once more, I could see he was still walking in the same direction I was taking! So what I did was stop and wait for him until he was near and I approached him over again."Liar! You're following me!"He gave me tired eyes and a lazy smirk. "Why do you think would I? Any reason to make me follow you? Besides, what could I get doing so?" And he eyed me head to foot, showing no interest at all.I was again deflated! Was he implying that I am simply boring and unattractive, huh?!I looked away and crossed my arms. "You're walking in the same lane as I take. Isn't that enough evidence that

He looked at me with a soft expression and nodded. "I'm a vet med student. Of course, I have knowledge of attending to them, forget about that?"I watched him as he turned around on the cabinets and shelves and he seemed to be looking for some things there."Exactly. You're still in college and studying your field but the way you performed showed that you already knew so well what you were doing."His passion and penchat to veterinary practice is truly radiating. I witness how he seems to love the path he's taking, and I'm actually happy to see that he enjoys what he does and he has his heart in it.It never seems like he is only forced to do this just because of his family's bloodline in veterinary medicine but he's doing this because this is what he truly wants.He stopped for a while and glanced at me. "Maybe because since we were young we were already trained to do things like these. During weekends, our aunties and uncles would want us to join them and be their practicing assista

If there were pictures of Trey when he was younger with his cousins that he's still around with today, meaning he really isn't Noah at all. They are absolutely different people.The album was the clear proof that I was really wrong thinking and hoping that Trey was my late fiancé Noah. Trey grew up in a wealthy family, well-provided, and had cousins with him, while Noah, on the other side grew up in an orphanage, alone, parentless, definitely not rich, and without a family to call his own.This maybe is the realization that from now on I should really stop linking Trey to my first love because he is not Noah and Noah isn't Trey. They are different from each other and grew up with very opposite life privileges.At home, I prioritized my cat and served him the cat food that Trey had given. Happily, my dear cat seemed to enjoy eating it.The next morning at school, I was walking in the corridor when I saw Barbara walking ahead, so I decided to walk faster to get to her and talk after wha

Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 80- EPILOGUE (The Last Battle)
SIX MONTHS LATER... "Long live the newlyweds!" "Best wishes!" Everyone cheered and applauded after Trey and I were declared husband and wife. He lifted my veil to kiss me and I responded eagerly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Everybody was happy for the both of us and they wished us a healthier and abundant marriage, most especially the Gregoris—Trey's parents, cousins, and even his brother, Noah. "Congratulations, lovebirds! Remember our deal? You're going to spend the rest of your lives making each other happy every single day, okay?" He reminded us. Both Trey and I nodded sincerely. Above everyone in the celebration hall, the two of us were the happiest ones. Genuinely happy that finally we were able to turn our dreams into reality. He tapped Trey's shoulder and they gave each other a warm brotherly hug. "Thank you so much, Noah. Thank you for understanding and thanks for giving way for our true happiness," I said from the bottom of my heart. And for the last time,

Noah brought a chair, placed it beside me, and sat on it. He was also looking after his brother."There wasn't any single time that I could remember I had been a good brother or at least treated him in a kind way…" he spoke, breaking the silence between us.I looked at him, and then he continued, "But you know what's ironic? That was despite me obviously despising my own brother, he has always been there for me. He was saving me, protecting me. Even before, since we were young and I wasn't yet aware of his existence, of my real identity, he was already helping me in silence. He always got my back, and though he wasn't getting anything in return, he was always willing to do something for me because he always wanted to see his brother being so well.”I knew it. I have really fallen crazy in love with an absolutely selfless man!"You know what, since then, he's really been there and always ready to save my life from harm or any danger. He never leaves me... Even if his own life would be
Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 78- "Without realizing..."
(Camila's POV)Walking back and forth to the wide ground of the residences of the Gregoris, my heart seemed to uncalm from its fast and hard pounding because I'd been waiting for Trey's troops to come back from the battlefield, where they had to fight to get Barbara after she was abducted.I couldn't take it easy. I could not even calm down. I felt bothered and scared that something might happen, especially to Trey and to Noah. Yes, both of them went there. As the ruler, Trey led the troops, while Noah insisted on coming with them because he also felt responsible for saving his family member.Seconds later, a siren on the whole building created a loud noise, indicating that the troops had already returned, and they were successful in getting Barbara back!The main gate opened and the first voice I heard, aside from the noises of the feet of the troop members running and hurrying, was Abigail's screaming and crying, "Trey is badly wounded! Trey is badly wounded, everybody!"My world sa

(Camila's POV)Noah and I went home after that long and draining double engagement night."Good night, Noah," I told him and was about to go to my room when he called me in a low, deep voice."Camila…""Hmmn—" I turned around to look at him, but I was surprised when he pulled my hand and brought me very close to his body.He held my waist tightly, and his eyes screamed desperation, hunger, longing, and sadness…"Noah, what are you doing—" I was cut to my words when he claimed my lips."Noah!" I tried pushing him gently on his chest, but when I felt like it was to no avail because he wouldn't let me go, I stopped, and instead, I just responded to his kisses.It was a responsibility of mine, wasn't it? He's my boyfriend, and he's kissing me, therefore, it's my responsibility to return his kisses. I responded to it as I should, as I obliged.He only freed my lips when he stopped, but his face remained very close to mine. He brought our foreheads touched.His breathing was deep, and the l

(Trey's POV)I could just watch her from afar… She was walking out of the hall and walking away from everybody, from where I stood…"Congratulations on your engagement," one of the seniors in the pack went to the table where my fiancée—Beth—and I were standing.We smiled at him and nodded and thanked him, then we granted his invitation for a toast.He proceeded to talk and have fun with other guests and invitees, and the cycle just went on and on every time anybody would approach to congratulate us and have a toast. We would smile at them, thank them, and toast our drinks."Trey, Beth, you really look great together. We wish nothing but abundance in your upcoming wedding," dad said happily when he went to us.Beside him and clinging to his arm was mom, who was also smiling happily upon nearing to us."Thanks, mom and dad."They both gave me a hug.And that's what Beth did, too. She greeted them, giving respect to elders, as well as her being their future daughter-in-law."I'm really g
Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 75- "Beth..."
I saw Trey from the glass door stopping and taking a look at me for the last time. He saw me and Noah hugging. I could see the hurt in his eyes, and yet he chose to shrug it off and totally went away.I knew that starting with this, I had lost him forever. He walked out of my life…After our hug, Noah cupped my face and almost endlessly thanked me for not leaving him, and for choosing him instead of Trey."I'm sorry, my love. I couldn't help it. I'm so happy and delighted that it's really still me that's in your heart even after all these years!"I simply forced a smile though it was hard to do so because my heart just honestly felt so heavy at the moment.To be frank, I chose him for a reason even though I knew within me who really my heart wanted. But I disregarded the thought. I'm happy that Noah is back and he's alive, and now we'll be able to continue what we thought we had lost several years back. I should just focus on that and give Noah my full attention and love because I alr
Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 74- "Hearing him..."
(Camila's POV)"How have you been, Camila?" Trey asked with a low broken voice when we agreed to meet one day to finally talk about us."I'm doing fine. How have you been, too?" I asked back while not looking at him.It's been a week since the big revelation came, and yet I'm still, even up to this day, affected by what I just have discovered. I guessed everybody still is.He smiled a little and nodded. "I'm alright. I'm glad you asked."I finally looked at him. "What are you going to tell me, Trey? I need all the truth, please."He sighed a bit heavily and nodded his head. "Okay. I'm telling the whole story to you…"He started from the first time he knew he actually had a brother and Noah was sent away from home to grow up and be trained to be independent and strong in all challenges of life, how Trey played being the shadow and guide and protector of the crown son and the supposed Alpha of their clan."During that afternoon when the tragedy happened, I was also there, Camila. I saw
Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 73- "Hide from me..."
After that reckless move I made, I never dared to do it again anymore or do something like that. I backed myself off, especially from their relationship. I could not possibly do anything to ruin them and mess up the plan.I just continued to watch over my brother as per my seemed-to-be lifelong task and assignment to my family. I didn't dare anymore to get close or approach Camila again just like I did that day. And I learned to move on my own. I should respect their relationship given the fact that Noah is my brother and he is about to become the Alpha and ruler of the pack while Camila is to become his Luna and wife.I tried forgetting my feelings for my brother's girlfriend and though it was hard because my own heart seemed to betray me at all time, I still fought it and instilled in my mind that I should really leave them alone because it's obvious that the two of them are the ones meant for each other. I am just a guardian and witness of their love.I also taught myself that I sh
Paradise in the Alpha's Arms 72- "I shouldn't have..."
One time, it was so reckless of me to have found my feet directing to where exactly Camila was sitting.She was at one of the tables inside a restaurant in a mall, and she was waiting for Noah because, basically, they agreed to have a date that day.I also wanted to feel and experience what it would be like if I stood next to her if I ever talked to her, and she would speak to me. I just really wanted to be in my brother's shoes, even for a little while, especially regarding his relationship with his girlfriend.Soon as she saw me at the restaurant door, she called my name… Noah's name, to be exact, because she was waiting for him and she or they—both her and my brother—didn't even know my existence…"Noah!" She waved at me happily and excitedly.My heart jumped. It felt like my world had suddenly stopped, and I could only see the two of us. I wasn't even able to move my feet!She stood up, waved at me, and ran to me. I was taken aback, and my feet turned to jelly as she hugged me.D*
