CHAPTER 80
There are some things that no matter how we tried to change and erase it from our lives, it will not still changed and removed. I tried that a lot of times. I tried to ignore the pain and feelings I have just to be happy but while in the middle of that process I still can't find happiness because in that pain, in that feeling, that's where I once experienced that happiness and even though it's painful, deep inside me I am still happy, because I found him there.
I saw him there.
When I was still young all I wished and ever wanted were my parents love and attention. I would go all out and have tantrums just to stop them for leaving me. I always wished that their business would just vanished so that their attention would remain to me.
But I was wrong of thinking that. Because when I met Alqamar in that forest I finally realized that it was hard to let go to something that's dear to you. Just like how dad and mom hold on tightly for their business.
CHAPTER 81I don't know what to think about it. I am nervous and anxious at the same time. Especially now that I remember that my cycle is late. I am regular so it's so surprising that I am late now.I thought about the symptoms these past few days. I am not a picky eater neither didn't like tomatoes! But right now, I vomitted because of a tomato! I am recently not in the mood and I can say that my mood is shifting very easily.My heart beat faster and immediately serched for a pregnancy kit. I am still not sure but the symptoms are leading me into that. It's been almost weeks when I had an intercourse with Alqamar. Damn, the more I think about it the more my mind says that I am pregnant!But I can't find a pregnancy kit. I sighed and sat down in my chair. I massaged the temple of my head. With Alqamar still gone I don't know if I can handle this situation if I am truly pregnant. Tears formed in my eyes as I softly caressed my stomach, slightly feeling wh
CHAPTER 82I don't know how to tell mom and dad that I'm going to leave to find Alqamar. I have a feeling that if I told them, there have a chance that they won't let me. I know it's wrong to hide secrets from them but I really want to see Alqamar right now. I want to know why he's taking so long to find me. No matter how hard I try to do not think about dangerous things but I really can't help it. I am always worried about him."Mom...I'm gonna leave later..." I uttered in the middle of our lunch. Dad and mom both stopped. My eyes remained on my food."Yes you are Lexis, you have duty in the clinic right?" Dad said. I sighed heavily. Should I keep it a secret? They'll ask so many questions that will lead me to tell them that I am pregnant. I don't want to cause problems for them. I breathed heavily and smile to them."Yeah...I am just telling you both..." I said, finally deciding to keep it to myself."Of course we know that..." mom chuckled. I ch
CHAPTER 83I fell asleep inside the bus and only got awaken when the driver shouted that we already arrived at the place. I immediately stood up and took my luggage to went inside. The cold wind past through me. I closed my eyes as the familiarity of the place crawled within me.It's been years since I last stepped my foot into this place. I made a lot of memories in this place, be it a happiness or sadness. And this is the place where I first met Alqamar. I wonder if the ancestor house of my grandma is still there? It was been abandoned for years and surely, it looks haunted house now.I sighed when I noticed that the sky is going to be dark now. The sun is almost moving down for it's ending. A symbol that darkness will already fill the sky. I breathed heavily and took a cab towards the ancestral house. I will stay there for a while. I'll just clean up so that I can be able to stay there.When the cab arrived at the ancestral house, my jaw dropped by it'
CHAPTER 84I still can't forget what happened earlier. The voice I heard was like so him. Or my ears were just playing tricks on me that even Alqamar's voice, I mistakenly overheard it through the man I bumped?I don't know what to think anymore. My head is throbbing and stopped sipping my instant noodles soup. I sighed heavily and stood up to go upstairs and rest in my room. I am holding the candle until I enters my room. I closed all the windows and blew off the candle before I lay down myself over the bed. Everything was dark as I try myself to sleep. I closed my eyes until I found myself soundly sleeping.I woke up the next morning with my dizziness. Morning sickness are kicking me in again. That's why the only thing I did first thing in the morning was to vomit inside the bathroom. It's so hard feeling this. I didn't know that it was so hard to carry a baby inside my body. I feel like my body is changing. Everything in me is changing. I flashed the toilet b
CHAPTER 85"Fin..." I uttered his name. My lips parted in amazement. I didn't know that Fin has a son now. And it's this kid!"Miss Castillo..." he said and slightly bowed her head to greet me. I smiled at him. Seeing Fin makes me a bit relaxed. Finally, I have someone I am familiar with in this place."You know her dad?" The kid asked as he tugged his shirt. Fin nodded slowly."When did you came here?" He asked."Yesterday. Is he your son? With whom? Your mate?" I said a bit excited. He looked at his son."His name is Froy. Froy she's Miss Lexis Castillo. An old friend..." Fin introduced me to his son. Froy nodded excitedly and suddenly he pulled my wrist that made my eyes widened."It's great! Dad can we invite her in our house? Mom would be happy!" Froy said with enthusiasm. I smiled a bit and looked at Fin."Is it okay with you?" I swallowed hard when Fin asked me that. I nodded slowly.Froy is holding
CHAPTER 86I woke up with the pain in my abdominal area. The moment I opened my eyes I immediately panicked and held my stomach."Damn it!" I cursed when I thought about my baby! I saw Rain run towards me and guides me to sit. My eyes teared up."M-My baby?" I asked panicking. Rain sighed and smiled at me."The baby is okay...""There's blood..." I couldn't say the words because of panicking. I saw blood before I fainted! Damn it! Rain held my hands to comfort me. I stopped when I met her eyes."The baby is fine Miss Castillo..." Rain assured me. I calmed down a bit and caressed my stomach. After a minute of silent Rain spoke up."Fin is talking to the doctor..."I nodded and breathed heavily. I don't know what to do if something will happen to my baby. Damn it! I almost lost my baby! I closed my eyes intently until we heard the door opened. I opened my eyes and looked at whoever enter the room. I saw Fin but behind him I saw G
CHAPTER 87They told me everything about Alqamar's condition. They said that they tried to tell him a bit of the truth and sometime mentioned my name but Alqamar past out and the doctor warned them that it was a bad sign. The memories might be forever be forgotten if that's continued so they stopped mentioning my name. Alqamar always asked them but they chose to lie and hid everything for his sake.After hearing those things, it suddenly weakened me. My hope for us loosened and I feel like Alqamar is slowly drifting away."I'll introduce myself in my second name. Midnight." I said after knowing that my first name is affecting Alqamar. They all nodded by what I said. I dressed up in simple shirt and jeans. I'm gonna leave the hospital and go to where Alqamar is. They told me that the whole pack are there. And like the old times they went back following Alqamar's orders and rules, except from the rule about killing humans of course. He's now back to being an alpha
CHAPTER 88I opened the curtains of the window of the room that Cristine lead me in. I sighed when I saw how the sun set down. I roam around my eyes inside the room. It was made out of hard wood. It looks comfortable especially the bed with all white sheets.I don't know what's the possible things that might happen to me here. The truth is I'm happy...I'm happy that I saw him again. And even though he doesn't remember me I am still happy knowing that he's alive and well. So many things happened and I always dragged him in danger. Now he's suffering of amnesia and it's because of me again. I wanna stay beside him until he remembers and if that day happens I'm gonna able to tell him about our baby.I arranged my clothes in the closet and exactly the moment I finished, Cristine went inside my room. She looked at me with her usual smug look."The dinner is ready. If you don't want to get hungry then eat but if you're too shy and afraid to come out then don't.
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
