Alexis' POV
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon dahil sa masama kong napanaginipan. Agad napahawak sa kanang leeg ko papunta sa aking pisngi. Napailing ako nang muling nag-flashback sa aking isipan ang napanaginipan ko.
God! I've dreamed a man nuzzling my neck and biting my ears. What I've dream is making me uneasy and somewhat, hot. The scenes sent havoc to my whole system.
"Just what are you doing to yourself, woman?"
Nanlalaki ang mata na napatingin ako sa nagsalita.
I was stunned when three incredibly sexy and handsome men are all staring at me like I've come out from a spaceship. Their forehead is knotted while they're staring at me intently. They all stood six feet tall, I think.
The man that I heard asking me is leaning onto the wall in the left corner of the room, fixing his eyeglasses while the second man is leaning onto the wall in the right corner with a book on his left hand while the third man is leaning in the left side of the bed I'm sitting at.
Napataas ako ng kilay nang mamukhaan ang lalaki na may hawak na libro. He's wearing contact lenses, I see.
"Pablo?" I muttered, unsure.
His face became impassive before shaking his head and walked out to the room, leaving me behind with this two man who's looking at me like I have a face of a stealer.
I swallowed hard when I felt a lump on my throat. Bakit ba ganiyan sila makatitig? Geez, I'm a victim here. I mentally commented.
"You're lucky. Alpha James found you before you could lost yourself in the forest and be eaten by those stinking mutts," the man with eyeglasses said coldly.
"Hey, don't scare our guest. Baka manakbo na naman 'yan kagaya ng kuwinento sa atin ni Alpha," sabi ng lalaking nakasandal sa higaan at natawa.
Napalunok ako dala ng takot at pagtataka dahil sa napanaginipan ko.
So ibig sabihin totoo ang panaginip ko?
"Totoo naman ang sinabi ko. Walang rebeldeng werewolf ang hindi mangingiming lapain ang babaeng 'yan. Tsk!" supladong wika ng lalaking may eyeglass bago lumabas ng kuwarto at iniwang bukas ang pinto.
Oh, God! What I've dreamed is real.
The man wearing an eyeglasses said that I was found by their Alpha James. Pero hindi. Hindi lang ako nahanap ng Alpha nila.
Their Alpha also molested and touched me in a way that made me shiver to death!
Muli akong napatingin sa nakabukas na pinto. What if I run away now?
Napailing-iling ako saka napalunok dahil sa ideyang naisip ko. Too risky. Baka himbis na makaligtas ako ay mauwi ako sa kamatayan ko. And I don't want to die.
"Ulol talaga 'yon. Wala lang kasi mat-este love life!" natatawang sabi ng lalaking nakasandal sa gilid ng kamang inuupuan ko bago niya ako nilingon.
"Pagpasensiyahan mo na si Dello. Wala talagang filter ang bibig no'n. Second in command kasi. Anyway, I'm Acero Lladao. Third in command ng Dark Claws pack."
"A-ahh..." Kinakabahan ko na lang na sabi.
I don't feel safe here. Iyon ang tumatak sa aking isipan makalipas ang ilang minuto kung kaya't kahit kabado ay nakapagdesisyon na ako.
I'm going to escape.
Inipon ko ang lahat ng natitira kong lakas at tibay ng loob bago tumayo sa ibabaw ng kama at tinalon ang distansya ng kama mula sa pintuan.
Natigilan ako nang hindi ako tuluyang nakaapak sa sahig bagkus isang pares ng matitigas na braso ang sumalo sa akin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.
"Damn, baby! Are you insane?! Papalalain mo lang ang sugat mo sa paa!" Singhal sa akin ng lalaking nakasalo sa akin.
Hindi na ako nakagalaw nang matitigan ko ang mukha ng lalaking sumalo sa akin. The one who molested me. His olive green eyes is also staring at me deeply while carrying me.
He made me sat to the bed before bending over and reached my left foot. He tsked before looking up to me.
"You're one hella stubborn, aren't you?" He said, grimly.
Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya at tumingin sa kaniya na may pagmamakaawa sa aking mukha. "Pakawalan mo ako, please." Tanging naiusal ko dahil sa kakaibang tensyon na bumalatay sa buong pagkatao ko habang hawak pa rin niya ang paa ko.
"No," he said before looking to Acero. "I need you to bring me a medical kit. Bring more bandage, alcohol, betadine, and cotton." He commanded to Acero who quickly left us with a salute.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses akong napalunok nang muling magtama ang mata naming dalawa ng lalaking minolestiya ako.
"Your wounds is way to deep. Aabutin 'to ng ilang linggo para gumaling so be a good girl and be more extra careful to your movements," he said that made me nod for no apparent reason.
I felt a litte disappoinment when he released my foot and walked towards the door to close it.
Napailing ako. s**t! Ano ba 'tong nararamdaman ko?
I automatically gulped when his tantalizing green eyes stopped its gaze on my direction before walking towards me.
Iniwas ko ang aking mata sa kaniya at napatingin sa suot ko. I'm still wearing my white blouse and pencil skirt. May punit ang skirt ko na siguradong nasabit kanina sa mga halaman habang tumatakbo ako.
Napatili ako nang biglang hinablot ng damuho ang kaliwang binti ko at ipinatong sa kaliwang binti niya ang paa ko habang nakaluhod siya gamit ang kanan niyang tuhod sa sahig.
Nanlaki ang aking mata nang dahan-dahan siyang yumuko palapit sa aking binti at inamoy ito kagaya ng ginawa niya sa akin.
"A-anong ginagawa mo?" nauutal kong tanong.
My breathing became ragged and my heart started beating fast as his left hand traced my toes up to my knees.
"I don't like the idea of you staying here inside this room with my packmembers," he whispered to my legs that sent electricities to every fiber of my being.
I tried to shake his hands away but he grip the back of my knee and looked up to me.
"I would like to tell you that pissing me off is a bad idea. If you don't want me to devour you, be a good girl and avoid going near to my packmembers, are we clear?"
A small smirk appeared to his lips when I nodded twice just so he wouldn't devour me.
"So now, let me properly introduce myself to you." He continued nuzzling my leg, making me feel uneasy but hot.
"I am James Aeonsia," He grazed his nose to the skin of my leg. "I'm the alpha of this pack. Dark Claws pack to be specific," he said before he let go of my legs and stood up in front of me.
Hindi ko maiwasang mapatanga sa kaniya dahil sa sobrang tangkad niya. He stood six and half feet tall na masyadong minaliit ang height kong five feet.
Pasimple akong napairap na sa hangin nang bigla akong nakaramdam ng pagkairita.
Pareho kaming napatingin sa pinto nang bumukas 'yon at pumasok si Acero na may dalang medical kit. Inabot niya kay James ang medical kit at pagkatapos ay nakapamulsang tumayo sa kaniyang puwesto.
James cleared his throat. "Leave now," he commanded him with a deep bigger voice that made Acero took steps backward before he rushed out to the door and closed it.
Even me is shocked and terrified. Para kasi siyang sinaniban ng demonyo para mag-iba ang boses.
"Let's talk while I'm disinfecting your wound. Lean your back to the headboard and lay down your feet to the bed," he said in a very deep commanding voice.
Agad kong ginawa ang utos niya at sumandal sa headboard. Mabilis kong tinakpan ng kumot ang skirt ko nang pumwesto si James sa dulo ng kama at binuksan ang medical kit.
"What's your name?" he asked while putting an alcohol to a cotton ball.
"Alexis Jean," I answered.
Hinawakan niya ang paa kong may sugat at idinampi ang cotton ball na nilagyan niya ng alcohol para linisin ang dumikit na dumi sa paa ko.
"Ahh! Ouch!"
Napaigik na lang ako nang maramdaman ko ang pagkirot ng sugat ko.
"How old are you?"
Muli siyang naglagay ng alcohol sa isa pang cotton ball at idinampi na sa mismong sugat ko na talaga namang napakahapdi.
"I'm twenty-seven! Ang sakit! s**t!" naluluha ko nang sabi at humila ng unan para kagatin ko.
I heard James chuckled that made me shot him a death glare. Natuwa pa ang loko.
"Well, I'm twenty-nine."
He took another cotton ball and applied betadine on it. Dinampi-dampi niya 'yon sa sugat ko at pagkatapos ay itinabi.
"What do you do for a living?" he asked while unrolling the bandage before encircling it on my feet, to where my wound is placed.
"I am a-ahh! Doctor-ouch! Masakit!" reklamo ko nang maramdaman ang pagkahigpit ng bandage na dumikit sa sugat ko.
He put a medical tape to the bandage so it will not be remove. He heaved a deep sigh when he's all done.
Pareho kaming napatingin sa pinto nang makarinig ng katok mula sa labas.
"Ahm, this is kinda weird to ask but are you guys done ravishing each other?" Acero asked that made me blushed.
James just smirked before shaking his head. "That dirty-minded Gamma," he said then closed the medical kit and walked towards the closed door.
Nakita kong napatumba si Acero nang binuksan ni James ang pinto. Namutla siya bago tumango-tango at tumakbo palayo.
Napataas ang aking kilay. I'm confused. Hindi naman nagsalita si James para mamutla si Acero at tumango-tango.
James looked at me. "Rest for now. We'll talk tomorrow. Good night, baby." then he closed the door.
Agad kong sinubukang tumayo pero mabilis akong napatumba sa kama nang sumigid sa kaibuturan ko ang sakit ng sugat ko.
Tuluyang itinumba ko na lang ang aking sarili sa kama at tumitig sa kisame.
Now what? Ilang linggo ako mananatili dito dahil hindi ako makatayo. Panigurado din na hindi ako basta-basta makakatakas lalo na't feeling ko ay clingy si James at bantay-sarado ako ng mga katulad niya. By now, I'm sure. Pinapahanap na ako ni Tita.
Napapaligiran ako ng mga werewolves na banta sa buhay ko lalo na't totoo rin ang mga bampira kagaya nila.
Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako at hinila hanggang sa aking leeg ang kumot.
Maybe it's better to rest for now then run away when I have the chance and strength on doing it. I said in my mind before closing my eyes and let myself to fall asleep.
James' POV
"Why the f**k did you take the mortal away?" I asked then puffed the cigarette I'm holding.
Hiro, my innerwolf just yawned, not interested to our topic.
Me and my packmembers are currently inside my office after I left the delectable woman in my room one hour ago. Moon Goddess knows how hard I tried to reign myself to ravish my pack's first mortal guest.
Nexxus, my delta heaved a deep sigh before speaking. "I know that mortal. She's a friend of mine in the human world, Alpha," he answered that made me nodded, convinced.
"But she can't go out because our portal won't let her? Now, that's a first." I said and leaned to the backrest of my swivel chair.
"Well, I think., it's because she's my mate."
Napamulagat ang aking mata sa sinabi ni Nexxus. Even Dello and Acero looked at him like he said the dumbest thing in the world.
My body suddenly went rigid as I felt my increasing hatred towards my Delta. Kahit si Hiro na natutulog ay biglang nagising at pabalik-balik na umiikot sa aking isipan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang may nagtutulak sa akin na tumutol sa sinabi ni Nexxus.
"Bu-but. But Alpha James just ravi--"
Mabilis kong dinampot ang ballpen ko sa aking lamesa at binato 'yon sa kaniya. Sapul sa noo ang mokong.
"Aray ko, Alpha. Totoo naman ang sinasabi ko. Kakatapos mo lang nama--"
I growled loudly that made him silent.
Fuck! Masisiraan ako ng bait dahil sa gamma ko. He kept saying that I ravished Alexis because he doesn't know that I'm having a massive boner right now while Alexis' scent coming from my room five doors away from my office's door keep entering my nose.
I sighed, calming myself.
"You dirty-minded mutt. I was disinfecting her wound, you idiot."
Diniin ko sa astre ang upos ng sigarilyo ko pagkatapos ay itinapon ko sa trashbin na nasa ilalim ng aking lamesa.
Agad akong umayos ng upo at hinarap ang tatlo kong pinagkakatiwalaan na packmember.
"Okay, then." I felt a lump on my throat before continuing what I'm going to say.
"Let's consider that Moon Goddess planned this so that you, Nexxus and your mate could stay now beside each other. Send a packmessenger to the King. Tell him, it's nothing to worry about."
Tumango-tango si Nexxus habang si Dello at Acero na nakangusong hinimas ang kaniyang noo ay nanatiling tahimik.
I cleared my throat when Hiro tried resurfacing on me.
"Let me out, Idiot! We need to see her! You can feel it!" Asik ng aking innerwolf na ikinabuntong-hininga ko.
