after the rain

Zarfa was just a simple person who tried her best to help her family. Born and raised in the province of Aether, kasama niyang lumaki ang mga kambing at palayan ng kanyang mga magulang. She was content with the life she had despite the few problems here and there. After all, wala namang problemang hindi malalagpasan basta’t magkakasama, hindi ba? Meanwhile, Vanraj was the crown prince of the kingdom of Terabestia. Palapit na nang palapit ang araw na siya na ang maghahari sa buong lugar. He may have the innate desire to help people but he was uncertain and terrified of what would happen to the people once a man like him inherits the throne. When a series of problems stitched their paths together, they soon become each other’s refuge and solace. But in this universe where deities can interfere with their lives, sa dinami-rami ng mga tao, silang dalawa pa ang napili ng tadhana. As secrets get revealed, so do the deep-seated emotions of love, hatred, suffering, pain and betrayal. Zarfa’s fate to doom seemed to be predetermined before she was even born. If Vanraj wants to save her, he has to give up something. He has to fall from grace. Love runs deep. But there are times— many of them— when it’s not worth fighting for. Lalo na kung marami na ang nadamay at nasaktan, lalo na kung sa tingin mo, wala ng patutunguhan.

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. Damn it. I can’t shake the worry that she might sever our bond and leave me with nothing. Let’s keep this under wraps until our child inherits all her assets. Only then will we reveal the bombshell, plunging her into darkness.” Ciara giggled, praising Zane for his cunning. My claws itched to lash out, but I held back, knowing the time for confrontation wasn’t yet. My heart sank as their betrayal cut deep. Years ago, I had defied my pack elders’ warnings about Ciara being a potential threat, taking her in and grooming her into our pack's doctor, funding her education out of sheer empathy. Now, I regretted every moment of my kindness. To think that my mate, who had once begged for my protection for his fragile pack, had the audacity to betray me. 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
