CHAPTER 16.1
I couldn't sleep last night. I tried every position while lying on my bed but I can't find myself to sleep.
That is the reason why my mind is flying somewhere else while waiting for the first professor of our first subject.
"Lexis!" I almost jump when Ronald called me. I looked at him.
"What?" I asked. He raised his brows at me."I was talking to you. What are you thinking? It seems that your mind isn't here with me,"
I shifted on my seat and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry...I was just...thinking," I said.
"Well, anyways are you ready for tomorrow? Tomorrow is our field trip," he said. I nodded.
He's right. I just saw in the bulletin that tomorrow will be our field trip. I already paid the bill so I'm ready. I just need to prepare my things later. But before that I should take a remedial exam first with Sir San Diego.
Ronald was about to talk again when Sir San D
CHAPTER 16.2I saw Alqamar leaning on his chair while waiting for me. He looked at me and stood up. Confusion filled me when he took the plastic bag that contains my food away from my hold. And then he suddenly grabbed my hand leaving the faculty.He didn't even explain or talk!"Sir! Where are you taking me?" I asked. He's still pulling me from nowhere!"We'll eat somewhere," he answered and before I can talk we stopped in front of a single nipa hut. It's standing outside the school. We're outside the school but I can still see the gate from here. It's secluded that's why I'm sure that no one would be dare to go near here."How'd you know this place?" I asked while looking around. The place is very wonderful especially the hut! I've never experience living in a house like this!"Someone told me," he said and shrugged. He walked towards the hut so I followed him. He opened the hut and I was amazed because even though it's old it i
CHAPTER 17Everything in me feels heavy. Everyone is happy and enjoying the trip while I can't even smile or even fake a laugh when my classmates will tell a funny story.How would I smile when Alqamar is avoiding me? How can I laugh when he's always surrounded by the students who are mostly girls?It's...frustrating and irritating!How can he ignore me and talk with everyone else?I didn't even know why he is suddenly like this?!Because of frustration I can feel my blood boiling but above all I can feel pain."Are you okay Lexis? Are you sick?" Ronald asked worried.We are now taking our walk towards the camping place where we'll build our tent while the professor or our guide for this trip is explaining some things in front. I don't even understand what he's saying because of my unending thoughts."No. I'm fine," I assured him and smiled. I don't want Ronald to worry about
CHAPTER 18The night is cold but I feel warm and hot. The night is dark but I can see light and rainbows around me. My heart is pounding so fast that it almost hurt my chest.He slowly withdraw from the kiss. I can't move. I feel like I am a nail pinning on a wood trying to escape but something is hitting me to drown.The kiss was just lips to lips and nothing more but I can feel the electrifying feeling that travels around my body. It started from my heart down to my toes.Our eyes met and I can't find my strength to look back at him with anger when he absorbed most of my energy from that kiss.I saw him closed his eyes intently like it was as if he regretted what had happened. It made my heart crumpled in pain. Why is he regretting it? Why would he kissed me when he would regret it in the end?!I pushed him with my strength and anger turned back again like a fucking fire came from hell."Are y
CHAPTER 18.2"Line up!" The guide commanded us. We immediately lined up and looked in front."There's a cave tunnel in the end of this trail and our activity today is to find any herbal medicine that you can see around the area. After you find one you can pick a sample of it, also don't forget to take a picture of it. The sample you brought and taken will be given to us but before that you have to report in front of us the benefit of it to the people who use that particular herbal medicine. Got it?""Yes Sir!" We all shouted. And like what's been told. The group should be together while finding a herbal medicine.Because the girls are mad at me and the boys have their own topic I feel lonely in the group. I wish that Ronald is here!I sighed heavily as I walked. I remained my eyes in the ground where my foot step. I am trying hard enough to stop my eyes for looking at that asshole. He isn't worth my time. After he ki
CHAPTER 19I woke up with my head throbbing in pain. I immediately held my head and closed my eyes intently as I slowly gets up from where I am lying."Lexis! Are you okay?" I heard Ronald's worried voice. I opened my eyes and noticed that I am inside of a tent. This isn't the tent I am staying at. Who's tent is this?My eyes turned to Ronald and I saw him pouring a water in a glass. He immediately give it to me and urge me to drink it. I nodded and I did what he wants me to do. I felt the cold water in my throat and I felt relax after that.I gave the glass afterwards as my brows furrowed at him. I remember who I was with and it's not Ronald!That's Alqamar right?"W-Where am I?" I asked. He looked at me with his worried eyes."Sir San Diego found you in the river almost drowning! Fortunately he saved you right away!" He said a bit tensed. I took a deep breath."I'm sorry. I go
CHAPTER 20My brows furrowed from what he said.Alpha?My eyes went up to Alqamar who was dangerously looking at the man who was named Herman.Herman.That name was so familiar."Leave Herman before I throw you out of here," Alqamar warned him.I don't get it! Who is this man?! And why Alqamar is mad at him?!"Wait why are you so mad Alqamar? I was just vitising you! Is there a problem cousin?" Herman said mocking.Herman is Alqamar's cousin?! That explains their similarity!"Just leave!" Alqamar lost his cool and shouted at his cousin. Now I am confused. Why is Alqamar so mad at his cousin? Herman seems...to be a good guy even though he looks dangerous.Herman laughed and looked at me again."I hope you don't forget your responsibility Alqamar or else...I'm gonna find a way to take what's supposedly mine," Herman said seriously and walked out.Silence filled us. Herm
CHAPTER 21The professors and the students started to come back from the last activities they had. The sun is almost out when they arrived. I saw Ronald nearing at me so I smiled at him. He looks tired though."How is it?" I asked. He sit beside me and like what I'm doing he put a wood in the bonfire I made. The other students are busy and tired. The professors are having their meeting in the huge tent that were made for them. The reason why I can't see Alqamar right now."It's fun! I hope you were there though," he said and glanced at me. I smiled at him. I remember how worried he was when I woke up earlier."I'm okay though! I-It's fun staying here," I said and looked away because I remember Alqamar's kisses on me. I shook my head to forget that thoughts!"Well...the view is nice here so I'm sure you won't be bored. Are you going to hike tomorrow? Tomorrow is our last day here so the dean let us decides the things we are going
CHAPTER 22The next sunrise came up so beautifully. My smile is plastered on my lips even when I'm brushing my teeth. I can't think anything but Alqamar's kisses and touch on me last night. I feel like dying! Darn it! Is it even legal?!I immediately lined up to my group when the guide of the trip blow her whistle. Like what Ronald told me yesterday she announced that this is the last day of our trip and it will be up to us where we want to go.Ronald only nodded and smiled to me before he left while I remained watching him feeling sad that I had to let go of one of my friends.I bit my lower lip and slowly walks towards my tent but I almost jump in surprise when Alqamar just popped up in my front! I held my chest because of the sudden beat of my heart."Darn it! I almost had a heart attack!" I spat but he just remained looking at me with his serious eyes. Now I am wondering what he's thinking?"You want to go out?"
EPILOGUELooking back to all the things that happened, it seems worth it now. After the accident I woke up with a headache and the first person I saw was a man wearing his white lab coat. He told me that his name was Ronald Madrigal, and I had an accident. At first, I couldn’t believe it. How could I have an accident when I know that I have the greatest power among all my pack? And I am the alpha. But then…I noticed how I clearly remember my childhood memories and the night where I saw my parents soaking with blood but other than that…I remember nothing.I feel like I was stuck in that particular memory and it’s tormenting my mind. It was frustrating to only know a bit of yourself. I remember Fin, Gray, Rael and Cristine because they are part of my memories when I was still young but…I didn’t even remember how I got an accident! Damn!“Don’t stress yourself too much, Alqamar. Your memories will be
CHAPTER 120“When are you planning to go back, Alqamar?” I heard Cristine asked while I am watching the trees danced with the wind. It was still vivid to me. The things that happened and how I almost lost my life in that unfaithful night. And…how I watched Lexis cry while darkness is eating my whole system.I had the choice to go back and tell Lexis that I am alive but it’s not easy at it’s seem. I’ve learned my lesson. Carlos is still alive and probably waiting for his attacks if he finds out that I am alive. When everyone thought that I was killed Carlos stopped chasing and targeting Lexis. It only means one thing. I am the only one he needs and my come back is his trigger to use Lexis again as my weakness. So, I have to remain hidden and just like before…watched Lexis from afar.I don’t want to go back to the days where I was still looking at her from afar but it’s still happening right, an
CHAPTER 119It wasn’t easy. Every time she’ll ask about my identity or my past makes me anxious. Thinking that once I told her everything she’ll slip away. And it’s even harder when I found out that Herman and Carlos’ group is planning of an attack against Lexis. So, for the mean time I told Lexis that I’ll leave. She assured me that she loves me. She made love to me, and I know that finally, she loves me back. Finally, I claimed her and she’s officially mine now, forever.“Are you seriously going alone, Alqamar?” Cristine asked me with her raising tone while I am packing my things. I already told Lexis about it and even she wants to know my real reason she still managed to keep herself silent. And I regret that I still need to keep this a secret. Maybe I was just really afraid that she would leave me if she found out the truth.“Yes. I know I can handle them better alone,” I said co
CHAPTER 118I tried to pursue her. Followed her wherever she goes. I wanted to be there for her. That’s why I tried so hard to be near her. I am sure that she’s smart and I didn’t know why she had a low score in her quiz but maybe fate is on my side that I took that chance to get her attention only to me, not with anyone but to me."I'm gonna schedule a tutorial for you so you'll understand-""No!" she cut me off when I tried to suggest that. I just want to help her or maybe I did have a secret intention, but I am serious that I want to help her. Our eyes met. I gave her a serious eye and she was just staring at me like she was in the middle of a deep thought about me. I sighed."What's wrong with that?" I asked. I really don’t get it. It’s more convenient to her."I'll just ask Ronald for it. You don't have to schedule anything," she said.My jaw clenched. I really hate how she’s gotten close
CHAPTER 117The next morning, I woke up early moving forward to the second day of class. I didn’t know that it will be more fun than what I expected. Already carrying my bag and other things when I saw Rael, Fin and Gray inside my house. My new house that I bought last week. I planned to stay here until I am still teaching at the school. I will just visit the village when weekends.“How did you all enter my house?” my brows furrowed while staring at the three who were sitting comfortably in my couch. These three has nothing to do with their lives.“You didn’t lock the doors,” Gray said. Rael smirked at me.“Your house is huge, we can stay here, right?” Rael’s twinkling eyes looked at me. I raised my brow at him, he noticed it that made him looked away.“Yeah right…we can’t,” he answered in his own question.“You’ll work?” Fin asked
CHAPTER 116I parked my car in the parking lot of the school. I sighed heavily when I saw the students coming inside the school. I can’t believe that I am here. I must be crazy. I looked at myself in the mirror before coming out of my car. I went straight at the faculty and checked my schedule. I unconsciously smiled when I saw that my first schedule is Lexis’ section.But my smile faded when I remember something. She’ll see me again. As her professor. Would she recognize me? What if she recognizes me and run for hill to hide from me? Because she’s scared? I gritted my teeth. I hope it won’t happen though. I would rather want her to not recognize me and remain to be a stranger to her. Goddamn it! Am I masochist?I sighed heavily and collected my things to attend my first class. I can feel everyone’s eyes on me. I am used to it but…they are college students. They should look at me with respect and not&helli
CHAPTER 115I can sense her presence now. I just saw her car arrived at her grandmother’s ancestral home. I watched her guided by her parents and her grandma who looks shocked of seeing her. I stared at her grandma. She looks familiar but I shrugged it off when I saw Cristine watching me. I stood up straight and looked away from Lexis’ direction.“I was right. You’re here,” she said and raised a brow at me. I ignore her and walk like nothing happened. I am going now to the village. It’s enough for me that I saw her safely arrived.“What do you need?” I asked when I felt her followed me.“Do you have plans? You know that Herman and Carlos are allies to bring you down, right?” She asked calmly. I sighed. I have plans but it’s not necessary to tell her anymore.“What are your plans? Make Lexis fall in love with you first and then tell her the truth and finally you&rs
CHAPTER 114After I send her home, I immediately washed myself. I feel like her puke is all over me. I closed my eyes as I felt the cold water dripped down my body. Watching her closer like that makes me insane. It’s been years since I last watched her close like that and she was just a young girl back then. Now that she’s and a grown woman I can’t help but to feel crazy over her.I woke up at dawn and the sun hasn’t risen yet when I drove myself towards San Isidro. I have a house in the city if ever I don’t want to go home yet or won’t be able to go back early. This province is an hour far away from the city. I parked the car in my usual place and walks towards the village.Everyone greeted me as soon as they saw me. I just nodded every time. I don’t have any plans today and I think I’ll go back in the city during Lexis’ graduation. I’ve never missed every celebration she has. I was alway
CHAPTER 113I woke up feeling awful the next day. My head is spinning like crazy. I don’t know but I felt cold. Damn! I am not usually like this. Maybe because I let myself in the rain yesterday? Well, wolves can also possibly catch a cold, but it will just pass by like before.I get up from the bed and changed my clothes before going out. Everyone made away for my arrival until I stopped in front of them, I saw my whole pack waiting for me to speak. I sighed and started to elaborate the things I wanted to say.“First of all, I wanted to compliment…Carlos’ group for guarding the boarders of this province, the other wolf pack wouldn’t have the chance to cross the island because of that,” I said and looked at Carlos and beside him is Herman. Carlos just nodded courteously at me. There’s a reason why I’d give that mission to him. So, that he will be far away from my pack while I’m investigating hi
