Lana was right, this mountain is hell. It may have a very angelic name but the terrain, the altitude, and everything else was pure hell. But despite my complaints about how it gives us a hard time, our training went better than expected because of it. I was surprised at the tenacity that Drake, Calvin, and the rest of the elite warriors showed in today’s training. So many times they have proven that giving up is never in their vocabulary. “Trust me when I say that you have my respect,” Drake says, “Now I understand why it was so hard to beat you during tournaments.”I laughed.“Seriously?” I asked him.“Seriously,” Drake replies as he finishes a whole bottle of water. “What made you think that way?” I asked out of curiosity.“Damn, this training that both you and Jericho are giving us is way beyond my imagination. The complexity, the way we now all move in sync with each other as we fight and at the same time protect our own,” Drake was filled with awe and excitement that it made
I was surprised that Seth decided to extend the training session for today. He said that he wanted to chill tomorrow with me, Jericho, and Cal. I was happy that he decided to do just that so that I can spend more time with Mikey while we were here. “Wow,” Nikki said, as she leaned by the wall, “You’re still here?”“Seth said that their training was extended for tonight because he wants to chill tomorrow,” I replied.“I remember,” Nikki said, “Drake wanted me to prepare a dinner for you and your company,” Nikki added.“Really?” I asked.“Yup,” she replied, “Anything you crave for?” “Nothing in particular,” I said, “You know what I like.”I watch as Mikey continued to act cutely and smiles at me. “I’m not sure if I told you this but Mikey will be adopted soon,” Nikki said her voice was serious.“What do you mean?” I asked, even though I know already what she meant. I felt my heart break upon hearing the news. I was not expecting that Mikey would get chosen too soon. I know that Mike
Last night I almost told Lana about my surprise to her but stopped myself. She said that she found out from Nikki that Mikey was going to be adopted. She was devastated when she heard the news and told me how much she regretted not telling me how much she loves Mikey and how she should have told me that she wanted to adopt him.It was the first time that I saw her like that. And my heart breaks to see her that way. But I just look at the bigger picture and imagine what her reaction would be when she found out that the adoptive parents that Nikki told her about were actually us.This morning, Lana requested to stay with Mikey until Mikey’s adoptive parents arrive and we all decided to support her in that way so that we can all prepare better for the surprise. “Are you ready to be a dad again?” Drake asks as he places his arms around my shoulders. “Been waiting for it for so long,” I replied smiling. “How nice would it be to have our children grow together,” Drake said with dreamy e
I asked Seth to drop me off at the Orphanage/Day Care because I wanted to meet Mikey’s adoptive parents. I wanted to make sure that they were good people and that Mikey will be in good hands. I also told Seth how I felt and all my regrets about not being able to adopt Mikey. When I asked him what would his answer be if I asked him if we could adopt Mikey, he said that he would have said yes. I start to fold Mikey’s cute clothes and place them neatly on the small baby bag that Nikki had provided. She said that she had something to take care of for the party that they will be preparing for us later in the afternoon so she can’t be here this morning which made her happy when she found out that I was willing to help her out. She said that Mikey’s adoptive parents might drop by later and that I should call her once they arrive. “You’re preparing Mikey’s stuff?” Lea asked, one of Nikki’s assistants.“Yes,” I replied, “Nikki said that Mikey’s adoptive parents might come today.”“Ah, yea
Sometimes I begin to question why the goddess lets this kind of thing happen. And what is the purpose behind these events?Shouldn’t the goddess guide us because we are her children?But why do I feel the goddess doesn’t exist?Kai continued to push himself to the limit as I see the reason behind his urgency. It felt like we had been running for hours even though it was just for several minutes. I felt my heart calm a little the minute I got a view of the roof of the orphanage. I heard Kai’s growl first before I saw the rogue wolves that were trying to get to the orphanage. ‘Look for Lana,’ Drake said to the mind link that he had opened, ‘We’ll take care of these morons.’I nodded to his wolf and continued to run towards the entrance of the orphanage, killing whoever gets in my way. Jericho and his wolf Rico speed up and went in front of me as he started clearing the path that Kai and have to go through. As we rounded the corner more rogue wolves can be seen. They all look like we
The moment that I saw those white lights extinguishing those rogue wolves, I already knew who they were coming from. I remember the conversation I had with Seth’s grandfather while I was training with him. “There used to be a very strong image in this region,” Seth’s grandfather said, “She was one of the most beautiful, the kindest, and the most powerful.” I waited as Seth’s grandfather continue to tell the story. ***** “She was not only a mage but also a shifter,” he added, “But that’s not all, she was also born as the daughter of one of the most powerful packs that used to exist in this region.” “The moment that she found her Fated Mate she felt everything was falling into place. She only dreamed of living with her Mate in their house, regardless of how simple it is. But her father, who was the Alpha of that pack, was blinded by greed. He ordered the death of her Fated Mate which brought her so much pain to the point that she just wanted to die with him.” “But his father ha
Seth, Jericho, and I all went home as soon as we said our goodbyes. We passed by Purple Hill’s orphanage/daycare to drop Nikki off. I look at the building and there was something about it that makes it looks so interesting and charming despite its very old exterior. Suddenly, I got this feeling that I was missing something. Suddenly my eyes start crying and I feel like my heart is breaking.“Are you okay, baby?” Seth asks me as I wipe the tears that just came out of nowhere.“I am,” I exclaimed in surprise, “I honestly don’t know why I am crying.”“Actually,” Seth said as he looks ahead, “Something is also nagging me. Like I was forgetting something very important. It’s like there is a hole in my heart but I can’t seem to find what to fill it in,” he added as he clenches his shirt above his heart. “Don’t get me wrong, baby. You know that you complete me. But whatever it was, I feel like that gaping hole in my heart had some relation with yours,” Seth explains. “I get the same feel
After some fun times with Seth, he dropped me off at the training academy before visiting Aunt Aurora to discuss the expansion of the Day Care and the creation of an orphanage. As I enter the training room, I saw someone in the makeshift arena having a battle. I slowly walk through the pool of warriors whose attention were on the two people in the arena who are fighting with everything I got. As I get closer, I notice a familiar head and I approach him to know what was happening. “Hey,” I said to Marko once I was beside him.“Hi, Luna,” Marko replied smiling.“What’s going on?” I asked just loud enough for him to hear.“Lovers quarrel,” Marko said smiling. “Lovers quarrel?” I asked in confusion as I try to get a grasp of the situation. “Wait is that Sol and Yuqi?” I asked in surprise. “Yup!” Marko replied. “How? When?” I asked as the idea does not still sink in with me. “A few months ago?” Marko said unsure, “Actually I didn’t know that Yuqi was the one that Sol was in a relati
