Witchita
n. a special kind of witches who hailed from the Beast Republic and who can wield both black and white magic with their male members as the ones conceiving their offspring.(Witchita Series #2)
Being born in a supreme and wealthy Witchita clan, life had not been easy for Rosendo Stefan Cavendish. It always came with a price in the form of numerous problems. Ever since he was young, he had been through countless kidnappings, hostage-takings, and scams which he was able to survive through his magic. His bigger problem arrived in the human form of his best friend, Ruby Lane Acosta, with who he had fallen deeply in love since they were seven years old. The thing was, Ruby Lane did not seem to heed his feelings even after all the years. Instead, she kept pushing him away. His biggest problem happened when he got pregnant with her and found out that Ruby Lane was actually a Nodram, a black witch who kept hunting their kind.
But wait, there's more!
His worst problem was when he also discovered that she was not just a simple Nodram but the daughter of their greatest archnemesis - the king of Nodrams; and then one day, she just left him and took their twins with her right after he had given birth to them.
Follow Ross and Ruby Lane as they journeyed from puppy love to being their each other's the one and until their not-so-ordinary parenting life and chase as he confronted and solved his rich Witchita problems.
On the evening of Santacruzan, I met Gideon, the consort of my life. Months later, we grew closer to each other, but then... he found out about the bet and we split up. Weeks after our breakup, he confronted and told me, “Panagutan mo ako... Buntis ako”, and I was like, “Gago ka ba?” Days after my family revealed our biggest secrets, I made up my list. To do: 1. Get to know more about my family's identity, history, and special ability (especially in dealing with a pregnant male partner!)2. Master my family's craft — witchcraft.3. Attend to Deon's needs, assist, and take care of him.4. Protect and keep him away from his pack for nine months (or else our child's gonna get killed because Deon's a son of an alpha b*tch!)5. Plan about our child's financial support and our parental setup.6. Make sure that the whole pregnancy experience will be tolerable for the first-time mommy (or pappy or whatsoeve
"PANAGUTAN MO AKO." Iyon ang mga salitang pambungad ni Gideon sa akin nang tuluyan na akong makalapit sa kanya. He texted me earlier that he was already outside our house and that he wanted to talk to me. Siyempre, pumayag ako kasi aminado naman akong may kasalanan din ako. I'm not one to run from my mistakes. I faced them and be accountable for them. Kunot-noong tinitigan ko siya sa mga mata niya, hinahanap ang kalokohan doon. Gano'n naman kasi talaga siya, maloko. Kaso sa pagkakataong iyon ay wala akong mahagilap na pagbibiro mula sa mga mata niya. "Buntis ako," dugtong niya pa. Ngayon ay hindi ko na talaga napigilan pa ang sarili at humagalpak na ng tawa. Napahawak pa ako sa tiyan ko dahil hindi talaga ako maka-get-over sa sinabi niya. Paanong mabubuntis siya gayong lalaki naman siya? "Gago ka ba?" I asked him when I finally recov
I COULDN'T COUNT how many times I have felt betrayed just for a day, just for today. Una ay ang katotohanang hindi pala kami normal kaya kami palipat-lipat ng tirahan. Pangalawa, ako lang sa aming lahat ang walang may alam no'n! Tapos ngayon ay dito pa talaga sa kwarto ko patutulugin at patutuluyin ni mommy si Deon! “You are letting us stay in one room?!” I shouted even before my mom could exit through my bedroom door. Napabuntong-hininga si mommy at pagod na binalingan ako. “Sweetie, you have to be responsible for him now because you two will have a child. Ganoon ang ginagawa nating mga Witchita sa mga partner natin sa tuwing nabubuntis sila. We take care of them.” “Pero, mom!” pagmamaktol ko pa sabay padyak ng kanang paa ko sa sahig. “I know you can't do anything here. Maselan ang kondisyon ni Deon kaya kailangan maging maingat kayo. You are also wearing your protection charms, your
I AM STILL eighteen years old and currently in my last year in senior high. Well, that simply means I still have to go to school, and I really hate it.Hindi naman ako bulakbol pero wala lang... nakakawalang ganang pumasok lang kasi alam mong lilipat din naman kayo. Nasasayang lang lahat ng memories at efforts ko na mag-excel sa klase. Sa labing-apat na taon ko ba naman kasing pag-aaral ay fourteen times na rin akong lumilipat ng school. Nakakapagod at nakakasawa na talaga!Donning my blue gingham plaid knitted sleeveless vest over my white collared shirt tucked in my high-waist black skater skirt, I graced the hall of that state college which offered senior high school as well. Naka-puting knee socks ako at black sneakers saka nilagyan ko rin ng plain blue headband ang nakalugay kong mahabang buhay. Yakap ko sa isang kamay ang folder ko habang nakasabit din sa balikat ko ro'n ang itim kong YSL sling bag. My outfit of the
I HELPED LOLA Panya sat on her rocking chair that was settled in our patio.“Aray... Aray ko–” ani lola habang iniinda ang sakit ng balakang niya.Pagkaupo ay agad naman siyang ngumiti sa akin dahil nakaramdam ng relief. Kita ko tuloy ang bungi-bungi niyang mga ngipin.“Salamat, apo.”Kagagaling ko lang sa gym room at katatapos ko lang din mag-ehersisyo. Mommy encouraged me to go out with her, Chadleen, and Mignonette for a jog but I refused. Iwas ako sa pakikipagkaibigan o pakikisalamuha man lang sa iba ngayon. Para saan pa kung hindi rin naman kami magtatagal dito, ‘di ba? Nagsasayang lang ako ng energy at efforts.Naupo na rin ako sa katabing upuan ni Lola Panya at inabot ang tinimpla kong orange juice sa ibabaw ng patio table namin saka ininom iyon gamit ang isang bamboo straw. Aside sa ayoko sa mga plastic, I sincerely care for the
ONE OF THE rules that I have learned and strictly follow from the Mean Girls was that, ‘On Wednesdays, we wear pink.’ That's why today I'm sporting a white tube underneath my pink cropped buttoned blazer partnered with its matching pink high-waist midi skirt. High-waist kasi bawal kita ang pusod dito sa state college which honestly surprised me kasi bawal iyon pero hindi bawal ang tadtad sa tattoo. I'm not hating on Deon's best friend, Felix, who was tattooed. I just find it so weird why they're letting him in and loose. Dapat fair! I want to wear crop tops kasi and this rule was preventing me from doing it.Anyway, I had my long straight hair tied in a half-ponytail using a pearl barrette. I also put on some dangling earrings that were composed of connected daisies and a pair of white stiletto from Louboutins.“There!” I happily announced after closing Chadleen's backpack.
NAKAPANGALUMBABA AKO SA armchair ko habang nakatingin sa board sa harap kahit wala naman doon ang isip ko at lumilipad lang. Deon was surprisingly snob and withdrawn today. I don't know what to feel. Magbubunyi ba akong sa wakas ay tumigil na siya o ano. Pero as someone na lagi niyang kinukulot ay legit na nakakapanibago iyong kinikilos niya ngayon. Baka may pinagdadaanan itong isang ito ngayong araw. Sana naman ay hindi maapektuhan nito ang activity namin sa PE today lalo na at partners pa naman kami. Ang hirap kayang paganahin ang teamwork kung mukhang wala sa sarili iyong kaparehas mo. Sana lang talaga ay umayos siya mamaya. Pati ako ay madadamay sa kanya, e. We were told to wear our PE uniforms because we will be having the activity today. Dinala kami ng PE teacher namin sa field kung saan iyon gaganapin. Pagdating namin doon ay naroon din ang ibang sekyon, particularly ang section ng girlfriend ni Deon.
NAKATINGIN LANG AKO kay Deon na hindi naman mabaling-baling ang atensyon sa akin kahit na magkatapat lang kami. We were partners again for an activity. Natiyempuhan ulit na napili kami bilang magkagrupo. Our teacher asked us to go to our pairs respectively.Pinalipat ako ni Felix sa pwesto niya dahil siya na naman daw muna ang tatabi sa pinsan ko. Nanggigigil na tumayo ako sa upuan ko at nagmartsa na palapit sa kay Deon na halatang iwas pa rin sa akin. Ano bang problema ng isang ito ha? Konting-konti na lang talaga at masasapak ko siya, e. Ang arte! Kung may problema siya sa akin ay bakit hindi na lang niya ako prangkahin?Pinagharap namin ang mga upuan namin. When I sat back, I crossed my legs in a sophisticated way. I loved sharing my OOTDs, just so you know, I was sporting a terno yellow and white gingham plaid tweed bishop sleeves jacket and skirt over its matching cropped spaghetti strap top. Naka-knee socks din ako and white Gucci sneakers. I was

Ciao! This is the special chapter. Thank you so much for being with me in this long journey, and see you on our next one, on the second Witchita installment – the Rich Witchita Problems. Warning: This chapter may contain scenes not suitable for readers aged eighteen and below. Reader discretion is advised. TODAY WAS MIRACLE’S second birthday and mine and Deon’s first wedding anniversary. Sinadya talaga naming isabay sa birthday ni Miracle ang kasal namin noon para mangyari ito – isang double celebration. However, Deon and I felt really exhausted with our daily routine, papasok kami sa kolehiyo nang salit-salitan tapos aalagaan namin si Miracle at gagawa pa ng mga gawaig-bahay. Ayaw niya pa rin kasing kumuha ng makakatulong sa amin sa pag-aalaga kay Miracle dahil gusto niyang maging hands-on kami sa pagpapalaki sa anak namin. I let him because I feel like he was doing this to project the things he wa
Hello, Charmings! 🤗 This will be the end of a guide called the back matter, or simply the epilogue. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude that you have come with me this far. I will forever treasure all the gems, reviews, comments, and coins that you have shared with me. Writing Witchita’s Guide to Successful Parenting has always been one of my greatest dreams – a witch’s story that would undertone a deeper theme which was about sex and gender roles. Now, I am glad to announce that the story of this Witchita Family will not end here. We will still have 3 or more tales under the Witchita Series. We will have Ross and Ruby Lane’s story, Chadleen and Felix, and Mignonette and her ringmaster love interest (yes, a carnival theme story). Without your support, I would not have also reached this far. I certainly owe you a lot, and I will promise to make more and improve in each st
DUMATING NA SINA Chadleen at Felix dito sa dating bahay namin sa Sidero. I called them to enlist their help in freeing Deon’s whole pack from Igor and Vicenzo. “Natawagan mo na ba sina tito?” nag-aalalang tanong niya agad sa akin pagkatapos niya akong yakapin. “Oo, natawagan ko na sila. We need their help, too. Nagulat sila at nagalit but then when I told them na balak gamitin ng mga Nodram mula sa South Region ang pack nina Tito Leon upang sakupin ang buong Abseiles ay pumayag naman sila agad. Actually, they’re already on their way here.” “Sinong kasama nila?” “Mommy said it will only be daddy, Kuya Will, and Tito Khalil.” “Si Miracle?” she asked after looking around. “Did you make sure that they are in a safe place?” Tumango naman ako upang siguraduhin iyon sa kanya. “Nasa kina Ross sila kasama nina Tita Dimples at Kidlat.” Sunod ko namang binalingan ang kapatid niyang si Ruby Lane na tahimik lang habang mata
WE WENT IMMEDIATELY to the Cavendish Palace. Pagdating namin ay agad kaming iginiya ni Ruby Lane sa parang meeting hall ng lugar. Ross was still attending to the kids kaya hindi agad namin siya nakita o nakausap man lang. Dumiretso lang kaming lahat dito. Inihiga ni Deon ang wala pa ring malay na si Tito Leon sa upholstered couch na nasa tabi.“Manang, pwede pong pakitawag si mama rito?” magalang na utos ni Ruby Lane sa katulong na umalalay sa amin papasok dito. “Pakisabi na rin po sa kanyang dalhin po iyong mga niluto niya kasi kailangan na po namin dito.”Naalala kong kaya palang magpagaling ng mga pagkaing nagagawa ni Tita Dimples. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mapapatitig sa kalmadong si Ruby Lane habang nagbibigay ng iba pang mga panuto sa empleyado. She was calm and really… smart. Pulidong-pulido iyong plano niya and not a slightest sight of panic can be observed from her. Sobrang talino ni Chadleen but she would sometim
OUR TALK WENT on where we found out more about the past of the Acosta Family that can be traced back to us and also to what happened to Deon’s pack.“I-I am sorry…” pausal na paghingi ng paumanhin ni Tupe sa akin habang nakayuko pa rin ang ulo niya.Thinking about the things that happened in the past, I suddenly realized that Tupe scared the hell out of me and yet… he never hurt me. Looking at him now, I understood why. He might look terrifying but he was never the type who will hurt anyone. Nakayuko lang iyong ulo niya na para bang nahihiya akong tingnan sa mga mata ko kahit na hindi naman niya ako talagang nakikita. Tama nga si Tita Dimples. She did not raise her children to become violent and evil. Tupe seemed more like a gentle giant to me. Mukhang napilitan lang talaga siya noon…Tinanguan ko siya at sinabihang, “Naiintindihan ko na ang lahat ngayon. You have my forgiveness.”Dahan-d
RUBY LANE HAD taken us to her family home. Gusto pa sanang sumama ni Ross sa amin pero pinagbawalan na siya ni Ruby Lane. To make him really stay, she told him to take good care of Miracle while we were away. Hindi naman na umangal pa si Ross at pumayag na lamang na manatili roon. Hindi na rin kami nagpahatid pa sa drayber niya dahil iyong sasakyan na nirentahan na lamang namin ni Deon ang ginamit namin papunta kina Ruby Lane.When we reached her place, we found her abode to be simple yet seemingly bright and alive. There were different sorts of plants in their yards which ran a gamut from flowering to non-flowering and from big to small. The plants beautifully matched and ornamented their house’s white wall with brown outlines for doors and windows that were made from wood. It gave a certain type of peace and familiarity. Iyon bang kahit na hindi magara ay naroroon iyong tunay na kayamanan sa loob, sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya nila.“I lik
RAMDAM NA RAMDAM ko ang bigat at tensyon sa pagitan nina Deon at ng Beta ng pack nila na si Igor. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay siya rin ang tatay ni Richelle. Ngayon ay alam ko na kung saan nagmana ang isang iyon.“Nasaan si papa?” mahinahon ngunit madiing tanong ni Deon kay Igor.He looked calm and serious, but it was the kind of calm before the raging storm. His fists were also clenched and the veins in his forearms were now visible. I know that he was trying so hard to control his anger. Halatang-halata iyon sa kulay pula na niyang mga mata. Pinipigilan niya lang talaga ang sariling sumugod agad. I hugged Miracle more. Hindi ko hahayaang may mangyari sa kanilang dalawa.“Inilagay ko lang naman niya sa dapat niyang kalagyan,” nakangising tugon ng Beta, iniinis at pilit na pinipigtas ang natitirang pagpipigil ni Deon.“Uulitin ko… nasaan si papa?”I had also observed that some men who we
NAGPAALAM NA KAMI sa parents ko tungkol sa plano namin ni Deon na pag-uwi sa kanila sa Sidero at ang pagsama rin namin kay Miracle roon. Of course, they disagreed. Ilang araw ko rin silang kinulit na payagan na lang kami. Mahaba-habang kumbinsihan ang naganap. I kept assuring them that I can now control my chi and Deon had already unlocked his Alpha potentials. If there will be emergencies, we can surely fight and protect Miracle and ourselves. At the end, they still did not agree.“Hindi ko maintindihan, Chad. Hanggang ngayon ba naman ay hindi pa rin nila ako pinagkakatiwalaan?” tanong ko sa pinsan kong tahimik na nagtutupi ng mga bagong labang damit ni Miracle.It was Deon who washed them, by the way. Ako lang talaga ang nagligpit dahil nga may pasok pa siya sa University of Portofino. Hindi ko rin naman natapos sa pagtutupi dahil umiyak si Miracle at nanghihingi ng gatas kaya pinapadede ko na muna siya ngayon habang nakatayo ako at marah
