ALPHA LENNOX:

My heart was restricted while I was peeking at Keira getting ready for her school. She was excited and at the same time nervous.

Leaning on the wall, I watched as she rummaged through her bag, to check if she forgot something or not.

She enrolled in a community college after passing the placement test with only five mistakes.

I volunteered to help her review, but declined my offer saying she could do it. When the result came out, I was humbled when I was the one whom she called to break the news.

I was happy for her even after what happened. But I was scared that going to school would make her forget about me.

What if she found someone there? What if she will find a man whom she will like?

The mark on her neck was still glowing. It may be enough to scare away the male werewolves, but there is no guarantee the humans will stay away from her.

I need to be there always. I need to protect what's mine.

    ALPHA LENNOX:Keira did not do anything to remove the boy's hand on her shoulders, something that the beast and I did not like at all. Did she like that boy? She never said anything like that nor shared about some random guy. Maybe it was because she knew I would get furious and jealous and I will make her change her mind about going to college. My grip on the steering wheel tightened. My breathing was as fast as the wind. Does she like that boy more than me?Keira glanced in my direction and noticed I was still here—in the parking lot. She waved her hand, telling me to go. Or not?Jealousy continued to spread like wildfire inside me. Dammit. I did not like this feeling at all. This burning feeling of wanting to kill anyone just because they touched Keira's part of the body. Hold your emotions, Lennox. We don't want you shifting into your wolf, scaring the humans off. Some of them did not know werewolves existed. Fuck!I inhaled deeply. If I hurt that boy, she will get mad an

    KEIRA:Ace must be kidding. I mean, why would he like an old woman like me? Why would he be wasting his youth on me? I was nothing compared to the female students here. I lost my youthful glow because I was exposed to work even at such a young age. I was not desirable, or beautiful. I gained some extra fat. “I like you.”Did he like me? Why?He was nothing but a child who did not know what he felt. Maybe he thought I was a challenge to him. When I could not find the words to say, I laughed nervously.However, Ace did not like it. “You don’t believe me.”I did not and I refused to believe it. “You don’t understand what you are saying, Ace. Your mother will be disappointed if she heard you liking someone who is not even your age.”“Mommy approves of anyone I love.”He said he only likes me, but now he was talking about love.“Ace. You are still a child to me. We are not on the same level. I am only tolerating your presence because you’ve been a great help when I enrolled her. But if

    KEIRA:Lennox and Ace continued on their staring contest as if they were fighting over some important stuff. I never knew Lennox could stoop this low. He was an alpha for crying out loud! He should be the one who should humble and restrain himself.And what of this special friend thingy? They sure knew how to make me laugh. Sarcastically. I squeezed the alpha’s arm, but he would not budge glaring at Ace. It looked like the boy had done unimaginable things which made him not forgive him. ‘Lennox. Are you a child? Really? Fighting with that boy? Very mature, Lennox.’‘Open your eyes, Keira. This boy likes you.’‘So what if he likes me?’ I did not see any problem with that. ‘What’s wrong with someone confessing his feelings? It’s not like I am obliged to return his feelings, okay?’Lennox sucked in a breath in relief. ‘Does that mean you will only love me, love? Can I say you won’t be giving this boy a chance?’‘My study is my priority as of the moment, Lennox.’‘Will you only love me,

    KEIRA:I was about to correct Ace when we settled inside his car, that this was not a date that we will be going to, but he looked so happy now. He looked like a child jumping with joy when his parents gave him some toys. Correcting him that we were not on a date will crush his heart.And then what? Will you allow him to continue his fantasy? Keira. As early as possible, you have to slap him hard with reality before everything will turn into delusions. But...Ace so far was being good to me. He never intentionally hurt me and always checked whether I was okay or not. He was a gentleman and a good boy. Correcting him could wait. Later.I looked at the sky. There were no stars or moon in the sky. I sniffed the air. I could smell the rain as the cold air slapped my face.The weather was getting romantic. It would be better if Lennox tagged along.Will you stop thinking about him? It was his fault, to begin with. "I'm sure you will like it there. They have the best ramen in the country.

    KEIRA:I chuckled after sending the photo. I was imagining that Lennox would be fuming right now. Ace and I were done eating our ramen and he was telling the truth. The ramen was the most delicious I ever tasted. I had no regrets about going after him.Looking around, the other customers were already done eating and slowly started exiting the ramen house. Fifteen minutes left before this place closed and the management had already stopped additional customers.Ace was paying on the counter while at the same time talking to the waiter who looked like his old friend. The line was long and the pacing was slow. My mouth curved into a smile.What would be Lennox doing now after seeing the images? Was he furious? Or did he not care about it? It would be so much better if he gave me a little reaction that would make me happy even for a moment. I did not know what got into my head, but I just felt like sending him those pics. My phone beeped. Lennox. My lips curled. Finally. The reply

    KEIRA:Shit! What to do?You know what to do, Keira. Kill or be killed. Run or fight for your life. Did someone want to kill me? I thought Lennox had already captured my enemies. That he killed Salvacion. That was the last thing Lennox told me during his confession. But not this one.I did not remember anyone holding a grudge against me. No. I slapped a lot of assholes trying to grope me at the strip club. Maybe they were out for revenge. The man wore a smirk on his face as if he already knew he could catch me.I regretted not teaching myself how to fight more a few years ago. I got comforted by the thought that Lennox was always there for me. To save me from anyone. I clenched my fist and swallowed down the fear trying to resurface. "Who sent you?" I asked, my heart hammering against my ribcage. My eyes darted to the ground where Ace was sleeping. He was still breathing, but there was blood running down his face.Fuck! Where did the asshole hit him?I needed to treat his wound a

    KEIRA:A hybrid between humans and werewolves was actually quite rare since some werewolves prefer a non-human counterpart. But it was not impossible. If Ace's mother was a human, probably it was his father who was a werewolf. If that was the case, why did they hide it from him?"This boy smelt human to me.""How can you explain his healing rate?""I don't know, Keira. That's something I do not want to know. This boy already brought a lot of trouble to us. I do not want anything from him anymore."Our conversation was cut short when Ace stirred. Opening his eyes, his gaze focused on me. I sighed in relief. "Ace? Oh, thank God you are awake now.""Keira? Ouch.""Tell me what's wrong.""It's my head.""There's no wound there. We already checked. You will get better in a couple of minutes."I helped him to his feet. Ace shook his head and tried to remember what had happened. "What exactly happened?" he asked, his voice weak."It turned out someone wanted to kill me."Ace automatically

    KEIRA: Lennox's patience was wearing thin and if this continued, I feared he would do something he would regret for the rest of his life—hurting a woman. He was not that type of man. Interrupting the two, before Lennox forgets himself and hurt Ace's mother, I called, "Mrs.—""Dulcy Morales," the woman introduced. "Mrs. Morales. I appreciate this warm welcome, but we really have to go. If you want another conversation with us, we can do that next time.""There is no next time. I am forbidding my son from the likes of you. Never ever go near him again.""Mommy, Keira is kind.""Not a word, Ace! This is your fault, to begin with. I strictly forbid you to tag along with a random stranger.""Keira is my classmate. She is not a stranger. You don't understand everything.""Shhh! Stop. I don't want to hear any words from you at all." Still not letting go of us, Dulcy ordered, "Let's go inside you two.""Mrs. Dulcy—""I said follow me! Are you an idiot?"I heard a low growl escaping from Le

    KEIRA:I was taken aback by Lennox’s honesty. He rarely showed his emotions to me. And when he did, it was the most tender expression I witnessed.My heart fell for him.I was about to console him when hurried footsteps were heard.The back of my hair stood as if it could sense an enemy. "Alpha Lennox!" It was Alpha Bryan together with his daughter beside him. His eyes darted at our joined hands. "What is the meaning of this?"Lennox put me on his back, protecting me from Alpha Bryan's murderous look."It is what it is, Alpha Bryan."His eyes narrowed into thin slits. "Are you forgetting what we had agreed? The wedding will happen next week!""The wedding won't happen. My apologies, Carmela."The woman secretly sighed in relief without her father knowing. Wait. She did not like Lennox? Why?Do you have to know? Not all women liked an alpha like him. It's good for you, Keira. Less competition in yourself. You can focus on the problem at hand— Alpha Bryan. "You know what will happen

    KEIRA:I knew it would be difficult for Lennox to answer my call for help. So it was no longer a surprise when he said, “I cannot.”Right then, I realized he no longer cared about me. His words and actions no longer matched. I gave up. Letting go was much easier than clinging to him. ‘Okay. I understand your decision, Lennox.’Did I? I could not.But what choice did I have? I had to return my focus to Ace. My eyes went back to the fight when the crowd cheered. The fight had already begun and I didn't even notice it. It was only a few minutes of talking to Lennox but Ace was already losing. He was bloody and beaten to a pulp by his brother Kent. “You said you trained him!” I cried out.“I did, Miss Keira. But Kent is stronger than his brother. He had already trained since he was a child. Among the sons, Alpha Bryan had high regard for him,” he growled. I covered my mouth to stop the sob from escaping my mouth.I cannot watch Ace like this. He was only a boy who was forced to honor

    KEIRA:My heart was pounding loudly against my ribcage as I waited for the match to start. The rest of the batches had already started and winners were already declared. Except for Ace. His name wasn’t called yet. I squeezed my sweaty palm now and then. It felt like I was also part of the match. I did not know what I should be feeling right now.I wanted to stop the match while Ace was not yet in the arena. But how? That man had already made up his mind. We were in the oval-shaped arena and the crowd was already thick. It was a ten-minute break before the next match. Was Ace okay there? The guards did not allow us to see him for the last time. No matter how much we tried to change his mind, he would not escape. Until I gave up and turned my attention to looking for Lennox. But I failed to find him. Was it only me or he was evading my presence?Why? He was not yet prepared to face me? He looked like he was indeed guilty. Solomon tried to look for him, but he could not find him. O

    KEIRA:Ace automatically hides me on his back, protecting me from his father. He snarled at him as if he would fight the alpha if worse came to worst. Solomon was on high alert as if he would fight hand in hand with Ace. "Son!"Solomon was now beside me. "Are you two starting to fight against me?"The tension escalated, swallowing me whole. The air was so thick that breathing was hard. Peeping in front of me, I can verify that Ace was a photocopy of his father. Their eyes. Mouth. Nose. And everything looked alike. They could pass as twins if not for the fine lines on the alpha’s forehead and around his eyes. Aside from that, they looked like they were sewn in the same cloth. “You!" he started, pointing his hands at me. "How did that woman enter my territory?” the alpha growled, snarling. The two guards behind him shifted their weight from foot to foot. The blood on their faces drained while their knees trembled in fear. All of us will die here if nothing is done. "Solomon!""Yes

    KEIRA:The tension inside the room thickened. Ace's jealousy was like poison, making me gag. This was supposed to be a normal reunion. But after those baseless allegations of coming here because of Lennox which I didn't even know he was here was low.Lennox will deal accordingly. Not now. I will find him later. And also his woman. I will ask him if he wants her or not. I wanted to ask him where I belonged in his heart. Did he still love me or not?“That’s so mature, Ace,” I commented. “Did I look like the only person that mattered to me was Lennox? You think lowly of me.”There was a slight sting in my chest. I thought Ace would be happy that we were trying our best to save him. But because of Lennox, everything was turning in the opposite direction. I badly wanted to ask him about Lennox. But asking it right now will only make things worse. That can wait. I felt Solomon's gaze burning a hole in my forehead as well as Ace's. He was silent. Maybe waiting for the right opportunity

    KEIRA:I think I will die of boredom. A few hours had already passed since Solomon left me. But he had not returned yet. I already asked the staff of the resort if they had seen him, but they shook their heads and said Solomon would return even if it would take him long hours to. It was not new, but they put their trust in the man and the man never failed them. First, it was Ace. Now, it was Solomon.I bit my fingernails. What if he was hit by a truck while he was in his wolf form? Or what if someone shot him a tranquilizer thinking he was some wild beast?Now, I was already worried for two people. I paced back and forth, barefoot. I stayed at the swimming pool area, hoping the water would clear my mind at the moment, but it did not. The pacing did not help free my mind from worrying about the two. Damn it.I felt hopeless and felt like I was a damsel in distress waiting for her knight-in-shining armor.I glanced at the clock on one of the cottages.Past six o’clock in the even

    ACE:A backhanded slap with the alpha wearing his ring and bony hands was one of the worst punishments he could give. I felt his ring slicing my skin, sniffing the blood from it. My ears felt like it was ringing, after the alpha's slap. It was more humiliating because that's how he slapped his wife and mistresses. I shook off the feeling of dizziness. "I don't have a coward son! Don't you dare run with tails behind your legs, son. Do not bring any more disgrace in my name."Raw anger emerged like a roaring lion as I tasted the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. Spitting on the floor, and staring him in the eyes, I exclaimed, "Why don't you appoint your eldest son as the alpha? That's how it works, Dad. Aren't you even worried your son will die because of that match?"He pushed me off the wall and cornered me. Pointing his fingers on my chest, he whispered, "The weak should die. I don't feel any sorry if they die during the competition. As long as they did not cower in fear."

    ACE:My heart pounded like crazy. After a few years of evading this place, I was able to return to Blackriver Pack, the place where I was born. All the alpha's women gave birth here. It was one of the laws of the alpha to his pregnant women before he would sign the certificates signifying he was the father of the children. The pack were looking at me with a weird expression on their faces. Bastard or the bitch's child. The illegitimate child. The kept woman's child and a lot more to tell. The people became imaginative as I grew up. That was the name they called us. Without the alpha's knowing. My stomach knotted. My legs trembled, but I tried to act calm, especially with the guards beside me. They would laugh at me, thinking how could a powerful alpha like Alpha Bryan have a cowardly son. And then they would add, "It's because he is the son of the mistress. Illegitimate children are all weak. Why did the alpha acknowledge them?"In this pack, only the legal sons and daughters o

    KEIRA:The sun had already risen when I woke up. Rubbing my eyes, I looked at the clock on the bedside table. Ten o'clock in the morning. Damn.I overslept because I was too comfortable at this place. Maybe it was also because of the ambiance of the place and the sounds of the waves lulling me to sleep.My stomach growled. I need to eat. Ace. Where was that man?I looked for my shoes only to remember that I was barefooted when I checked who had entered my apartment.Checking if there were some spare slippers, I found them under the bed. Sprinting towards the door and looking for Ace, I found him on the beach, sitting on the sand facing the shore while sipping the juice of a coconut.Sensing my presence, he glanced over his shoulder and saw me, leaving the coconut on the sand, and sauntered towards me. "Hey. Did you sleep well? I asked someone to check if you already woke up, but the helper said you’re sleeping soundly."Surprisingly, I did. Maybe it was because I dreamed about L
