after the rain

Sa isang gabi na puno ng katahimikan, biglang kumatok sa kuwarto ni Aliyah ang isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahan na makikita niya. Nang matapos nilang magsalo ng isang gabi, bigla na lang siya nitong hindi kilala kinabukasan. Sa mga lumipas pa na mga araw, magagawa naman niya kaya itong tanggihan ngayong ang lalaki na mismo ang lumalapit sa kanya na inaalok siya ng kasal? Tatanggapin niya kaya ito alang-alang sa kanyang ina? O baka naman... may iba pa siyang binabalak?

Around the seventh month of my pregnancy, I overheard a conversation between my mate, Zane Andrews, and Ciara Phillips, the she-wolf I had taken in out of compassion after her family was brutally slaughtered by rogues. In a sultry, flirtatious tone, Ciara purred, “Zane, my love, if your wife discovers that the fertilized egg I planted in her womb isn’t truly hers by blood, she’ll be devastated—perhaps to the point of despairing suicide, don’t you think?” Zane snorted, his voice dripping with disdain at the mention of me. “It’ll work for us if she simply dies from heartbreak.

If not for my support, his pathetic pack would have crumbled long ago, leaving him nursing his wounds in a dark corner, fretting over survival. After a long moment of contemplation, I made my decision. I would feign ignorance to their schemes and play along by giving birth to Ciara’s baby. Two decades passed. Ciara’s child grew up, bearing the name Simon Andrews. Aware of their treachery, I still transferred all my assets to him. Once the paperwork was completed, Ciara boldly approached me in front of the entire pack, a maternity DNA test in hand. With a smug smile, she declared, “Leia Holland, look at this! I am Simon’s biological mother. Leave h
