Romans de Marghie

Doc. LesleyNawala bigla yung ngiti sa labi ko nang makita ko si Dwayne na naglalakad papasok sa mansion. May kakaiba sa aura niya, parang may mabigat siyang sasabihin. Hindi ko gusto yung pakiramdam na 'to. Parang may malaking pagbabago na naman na mangyayari sa buhay naming lahat."Lesley," bati niya, pero yung boses niya ay hindi katulad ng dati. Mas seryoso, mas malamig. "May importante akong sasabihin sa'yo."Kinabahan ako lalo. Umupo siya sa sofa sa living room, at sumenyas na umupo rin ako sa harap niya. Huminga muna siya nang malalim bago nagsalita."Napagdesisyunan ko na, Lesley. Ikaw na ang magiging legal guardian ni Baby Jake mula ngayon."Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit bigla niyang sinasabi 'to. "Dwayne, anong ibig mong sabihin?""Alam kong ikaw lang ang mapagkakatiwalaan ko pagdating kay Baby Jake," sagot niya. "At saka, naayos ko na rin yung titirhan ninyo sa abroad kasama sina Giselle at Manang Kendra."Parang binuhusan ako ng malamig

JanellaGulat na gulat ang mukha ni Dwayne nang marinig niya ang plano ko. Kitang-kita ko ang pagtataka, pagkalito, at bahagyang pagtutol sa mga mata niya. Pero hindi ako pwedeng magpatinag. Ngayon na ang tamang pagkakataon para tuluyan nang mawala si Baby Jake sa buhay namin."Anong ibig mong sabihin na ipadala sa abroad si Baby Jake?" tanong niya."Love," panimula ko, kunwaring pinipigilan ang mga luha. "Hindi ba't nasa kulungan naman si Nancy? Wala na siyang paraan para makalapit kay Baby Jake. At isa pa, binabayaran mo naman si Doc. Lesley ng napakalaking halaga, di ba? Pwede siyang maging legal guardian ni Baby Jake. Mas okay siguro kung sa ibang bansa na lang natin siya palalakihin."Pinahid ko ang mga mata ko gamit ang likod ng aking kamay, "Dwayne, isipin mo naman. Sa tuwing makikita mo si Baby Jake, hindi ba't lagi mong maaalala si Nancy? Yung babaeng pumatay sa mama mo? Hindi ka ba napapagod na maalala yung sakit? Ayaw mo bang makalimot at move on?"Alam ko na tinatamaan siy

DwayneSimula nang makulong si Nancy dahil sa pagpatay sa mama ko, hindi ko na nadalaw si Baby Jake. Alam kong kasalanan ko rin, pero hindi ko talaga maiwasan. Tuwing nakikita ko siya, naaalala ko si Nancy. Naaalala ko ang krimen na ginawa niya.Nasa incubator pa rin si Baby Jake sa isa kong mansion. Pinatira ko doon si Doc. Lesley para siya ang mag-alaga. Binibigyan ko naman siya ng pera bilang personal guardian, kaya alam kong hindi ko pa rin naman masasabing napapabayaan.Mas focus ako ngayon kay Janella at kay Baby Dwayne. Inalis na rin sa incubator si Baby Dwayne at pwede na siyang buhatin. Masaya ako tuwing hawak ko siya. Pero tuwing naaalala ko si Baby Jake, nakokonsensya ako.Masama man, pero pati si Baby Jake nadamay sa galit ko kay Nancy. Nawalan ako ng pagmamahal sa kanya.Nakaupo ako sa tapat ng crib ni Baby Dwayne. Habang patuloy sa pagasalita si Janella ay lumilipad naman ang isip ko"Dwayne, kapag natapos na ang forty days ng mama mo, pwede na natin siyang pabinyagan pa

JamillaNakahiga ako sa matigas na kama ng ospital, nakatitig lang sa kisame habang pinakikinggan ang paulit-ulit na tunog ng monitor sa tabi ko. Beep. Beep. Beep. Sa paningin ng mga doktor at nurse, isa akong pasyenteng gulay—comatose, hindi nakakagalaw, at tanging ang mga mata ko lang ang tila may buhay. Pero ang totoo, nararamdaman ko ang bawat hapdi sa katawan ko at naririnig ko ang bawat bulong sa paligid.Pinilit kong panatilihing relax ang mukha ko nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto. Ang yabag ng sapatos na iyon... kilala ko 'yun. Si Janella.Pumasok siya sa kwarto at narinig ko ang pag-lock ng pinto. Lumapit siya sa gilid ng kama ko. Naamoy ko ang matapang niyang pabango na tila sumasakal sa akin. Ramdam ko ang pagtitig niya, kaya pinako ko ang tingin ko sa kawalan, walang emosyon, parang patay na dilat ang mga mata."Kamusta, ang traydor?" panimula ni Janella. May halong tawa ang boses niya, 'yung tawang nakakapangilabot dahil alam mong wala siyang pagsisisi.Hinawakan niy

DwayneInilibing na namin si Mama ngayong araw. Madilim ang langit at malamig ang hangin, parang nakikiramay sa bigat na nararamdaman ko. Habang dahan-dahang ibinababa ang kabaong niya, pakiramdam ko ay kasama ring ibinaba doon ang kalahati ng puso ko. Sobrang sakit. Hindi ko kailanman inisip na darating ang araw na ganito ang magiging paalam ko sa kaniya.Humakbang ako palapit sa hukay at kumuha ng isang dakot na lupa. Tiningnan ko ang kabaong ni Mama. "Ma, sana mapayapa ka na," bulong ko. Pinilit kong huwag manginig ang boses ko pero sadyang traydor ang mga luha ko. "Sana mapatawad mo rin ako dahil hindi kita naipagtanggol nung mga oras na kailangan mo ako. Ang hirap tanggapin na ang taong pinasok ko sa bahay natin, ang babaeng minahal ko, ang siya palang kikitil sa buhay mo."Sa bawat butil ng lupa na pumatak mula sa kamay ko, parang unti-unting lumilinaw sa isip ko ang lahat. Tapos na ang trial. Narinig ko na ang hatol. Sinabi ng batas na guilty si Nancy. Kahit gaano kasakit, kail

NancyNakatitig lang ako sa kisame ng bago kong selda. Masarap ang higaan, malamig ang hangin dahil sa aircon, at hindi ko na kailangang makipag-unahan sa pagkain. Pero habang tumatagal ako rito, mas lalo akong nasasakal. Ang bawat tiles na kumikinang sa ilalim ng ilaw ay parang nanunuya sa akin. Alam ko na ang bawat luho rito ay galing kay Shane Lincoln, at ang presensya niya ay parang isang madilim na anino na hindi ko matakasan.Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng bakal na pinto. Inasahan ko na si Shane na naman ang papasok para takutin ako, kaya agad akong napaurong sa kanto ng kama, yakap ang aking mga binti. Pero laking gulat at luwag ng dibdib ko nang makita ko ang pamilyar na mukha ni Doc Lesley. Bitbit niya ang kaniyang bag at may bakas ng pilit na ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi.Dali-dali siyang lumapit sa akin at hinawakan ang aking mga kamay. "Nancy! Kumusta ka na? Pasensya ka na at ngayon lang ako nakadalaw, medyo naging abala lang sa pag-aayos ng mga papeles.""Doc Lesley," sambit ko

The air in the bedroom was thick with the scent of sex and primal need. Alpha Nathan’s powerful body moved over Luna’s with a relentless, driving rhythm, the headboard tapping a steady beat against the wall. His cock plunged deep into her wetness, each thrust drawing a gasp and a moan from her parted lips. She was close, so close, her inner muscles fluttering around his length, a telltale sign he knew intimately.His hand, large and possessive, slid from her hip, down the curve of her ass. His calloused fingers traced the sensitive skin there, a gentle contrast to the fierce pounding of his hips. Then, he did it. One thick, demanding finger pressed against her other entrance, a circle of tight, forbidden heat.Luna’s body went rigid. “Nathan, wait—”But he was already stopping. He withdrew from her dripping core completely, the sudden emptiness making her whimper in protest. He ignored her, his own breath a ragged growl in his ear. He used his own slickness, coating his throbbing, roc

The steam from the shower curled around Alpha Nathan’s powerful form as he stepped onto the cool marble of the bedroom floor, a towel slung low around his hips. His gaze, sharp and assessing, swept the room and froze.There she was.Luna Beatrice lay stretched across the dark silk of their bed, a vision of deliberate provocation. Completely naked. The moonlight filtering through the window painted her curves in silver. One arm was draped above her head, the other resting on her flat stomach. And her legs… her legs were spread wide open, an unashamed, carnal invitation.Nathan’s jaw tightened. A low sound, something between a growl and a sigh, rumbled in his chest.Beatrice watched him, her eyes gleaming with a mix of defiance and raw need. A slow, wicked smile touched her lips. “See something you like, Alpha?” she purred, her voice husky.He didn’t answer, his eyes fixed on the precise point where her body opened for him, glistening in the low light. His mind, treacherously, supplied

Meanwhile, far away from the Red Moon mansion, hidden among the trees and shadows, a man was running fast through the forest. His red eyes glowed with fury. His hands were clenched, and his fangs were gritted.Lucas.He had seen her.He had found her.That woman Jake was protecting… he knew her real name. She wasn’t Alona.She was Jillian.His Jillian.“She doesn’t remember me,” Lucas muttered angrily to himself as he moved through the darkness. “He made her forget everything… That foolish Alpha!”He jumped high into the trees, landing without a sound. He turned back and looked toward the mansion in the distance. “I won’t let this go. He can’t have her. She’s mine. Jillian is only for me, no one else can have her.”Then, with a low growl, Lucas disappeared into the shadows.He returned to his hideout, a large dark mansion hidden deep in the mountains where no one dared to go. The place was quiet, filled with silence and waiting. But once Lucas stepped inside, the silence broke.Vampir

Alona froze for a second, surprised—but then she closed her eyes and kissed him back.Jake deepened the kiss, his arms wrapping around her as he lifted her gently and carried her inside. Still kissing her, he brought her into his room and carefully laid her on his bed.He looked down at her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “I’ve never had a mate,” he said quietly. “I’ve never mated or marked any woman.”Alona reached up and caressed his face, her thumb brushing his cheek. “Then maybe…” she whispered, “you were waiting for me.”Their lips met again—this time slower, deeper—as they fell into each other’s arms.Jake’s hands trembled slightly as he gently removed the hair from Alona’s neck, his lips tracing soft kisses down her skin. Alona responded with a quiet gasp, her fingers gripping the front of his shirt, pulling him closer. The bond between them ignited, wild and instinctive, as if their souls had been searching for each other all along.“Alona… I want you,” Jake whispere

Alona’s eyes widened slightly. “King and Queen?”Cindy giggled. “Maybe you forgot that too. King Shane and Queen Amelia are the rulers of all werewolf packs. They live in the kingdom of Westoria. Red Moon Pack is one of the packs they govern, and Alpha Jake, their son, is the leader here. He is also the future King of the werewolves.”Alona nodded slowly, taking in the information. Cindy turned her to the mirror and smiled. “Perfect. You’re ready.”Cindy guided her out of the room and down the grand staircase. Alona looked around in amazement at the huge mansion. The sparkling chandeliers, the rich wooden floors, and the detailed paintings on the walls made her feel like she had stepped into a palace.They entered the dining area, where Alpha Jake sat alone, sipping coffee. His eyes lifted and met hers—and just like before, Alona felt her heart beat faster. Something about his gaze stirred something inside her. Jake, too, paused and swallowed hard as he looked at her.He gestured to t

Giselle slowly awoke, coughing harshly as water filled her lungs. She gasped for air, her body trembling uncontrollably from the cold. Blinking against the bright sunlight, she struggled to focus.A tall, handsome man stood before her, his expression serious and unreadable. Behind him, several pack guards stood alert, their eyes sharp and watchful. The dazzling sunlight made her squint, but despite the glare, it was the man’s face that held her gaze—strong jawline, piercing eyes, and an air of authority. She was soaked, shivering from the cold water that clung to her skin and clothes.The man looked down at her and spoke in a calm, measured voice. “Who are you?”Giselle blinked, trying to remember, but her mind was blank. She shook her head slowly. “I… I don’t know. I don’t know who I am, or what happened to me. I don’t even know where I am.”The man’s brow furrowed as he considered her words. “So, you have amnesia?”“Maybe,” she whispered, her voice weak.He reached out and removed h
