Epilogue Just as the bell rang, I sprinted to the door. I didn’t wait for our professor to say his goodbyes. I was even the first one who went out of the room before anyone could. I hurriedly went to the elevator and waited for it to open. Today is special because mom is going home from Jakarta. She stayed there for almost a year for business partnership and now, I’m so excited to see her. I miss her so much. I had a lot of things to say to her. I couldn’t wait. Just as I arrived, the elevator rang and It opened. I saw our law professor inside as I entered. I smiled at him as I greeted, “Good morning sir.” He smiled back, “Good morning, De Vera.” Did our professor just smile at me? I felt like my cheeks burning. He was so handsome and hot. No wonder why most of my classmate were into him. And if they were here when he smiled, they will probably go insane. The elevator closed the moment I entered and I felt it moving down. I leaned my shoulder against the wall as I waited to rea

Thirty-Nine-Daniel King’s POV –My eyes wandered around the house as I walked to the living room. Dad was so busy covering the furniture’s with white clothes. I stood at the center of the house and some of the appliances were gone. My brows furrowed as I looked for mom. I went straight to her room seeing that the door was open.As I entered, she immediately turned her head at me and gave me a quick smile. I walked to the bed and sat as I watch her took other clothes from the closet and put it in the suitcase.“The house was already sold. And just as I told you, we’re flying back to California.” Mom explained as she gave me a quick look before I could ask her.“When?” My voice was low like it was a whisper.“Today at 6 pm. Right after your graduation.” She replied while pressing the clothes in the suitcase as she zip

Thirty-Eight-Daniel King’s POV –It felt different when you were attending a wake. Especially when it was someone close to your heart. I felt uneasy and this feeling made me uncomfortable. The house was filled with cold atmosphere and everyone did not feel like talking. It was not that crowded considering that only grandpa’s and dad’s close friends were here. I heard nothing but this deafening silence that echoed in the entire house. This house was used to be filled with happiness but now, it had nothing but depression, disappointment and sadness.I squeezed my eyes and stood. My head still hurt but not that bad. I still have a slight fever and I don’t feel like taking any medicine. I'm planning to go to the kitchen to have some coffee. It might help me got rid of this sleepy feeling and headache.Mom was busy serving coffees and biscuits to the guests and dad was not around. He was out for processing some papers regarding gr

Thirty-Seven - Daniel King’s POV – By the moment I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see dad standing beside the bed. He was busy talking someone on the phone. Before I could get pissed off by his presence, I tried to recognize where I am. I remember checking in at an inn with Hannah and probably I was still here. Hannah? I turned around and I was shocked to see that she wasn't there. Where is she? I was sure that I slept next to her. And how the hell did dad know that I was here? Maybe Hannah told him? No way. She won’t do that. I’m sure she won’t. "Fix yourself, young man. We are leaving.” Dad ordered. And I won’t be surprised if he sounded like commanding. He usually ordered everyone around as if he was the big boss, which pissed me off. "You can’t order me around as if you own my life.” I protested as I fix a glare at him. He frowned, "And you can’t talk back to me like that. Knowing that I am your father.” His tone was tense and he emphasized

Thirty-Six-Hannah Mae’s POV –I was rolling on the bed when King left the room. I couldn’t sleep, even I wanted too. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking of how we satisfied ourselves. It sent goosebumps to me every time I thought about it and I ended up chuckling like an idiot. His whole body was so warm and his dick tasted so good in my mouth that I couldn't get enough of it. I love sucking and licking it. And how he massaged my breast is really something. I slowly opened my eyes as I breathe out.Oh gosh. I’m imagining it again and it was making me wet. I wanted his dick in my hole again and thrust me so hard that I could moan my lungs out.I flinched in surprise when I heard a phone ringing. Damn! It was ruining my moment of happy thoughts. I stood in annoyance and tried to follow the ringtone to find out where it came from. No one was here so I better find that phone and turn it off. It was kind of dist

Thirty-Five-Daniel King’s POV –I was rushing to the hospital after I had a good time with Hannah. Mom told me on the phone about what happened to grandpa. But my ears wasn’t paying any attention on that moment considering that my body was so busy thrusting her mouth, feeling every pleasure I felt. I quickly felt asleep right after that and was woke up by another call from mom.But my head surely hurts so bad. As if it had been twisted. I groaned as my brows furrowed. My sight was little blurry but I could still see mom, Aunty Veronica and Aunty Emilia in front of the Emergency room. Mom was standing right in front of the door while Aunty Emilia and Aunty Veronica were sitting on the bench in front of the Emergency room.I felt like my foot wasn’t touching on the floor as I was walking towards them and the world is spinning. I slowly felt chills getting in me but I didn’t bother at all. I need to see grandpa’s condition

FORTY-EIGHT (48)-Rhea’s POV –Agad kong sinundan si Jc nang tumagos siya sa ulap na kanyang kinatatayuan. At bago pa man siya muling tumagos sa isa pang ulap, agad kong inabot ang kanyang kamay habang ang aking mga pakpak ay pumapagaspas sa hangin. Konti nalang talaga at lalapag na ang kanyang mga paa sa ulap.Ang lamig ng kanyang kamay at sobrang pamumutla niya na parang walang dugo sa kanyang mukha. Nagmistulang papel ang kanyang mga labi. Agad naman siyang tumingin sa akin nang mahawakan ko ang kanyang kamay.“Kailangan mong magtiwala sa iyong sarili at maniwala sa Panginoon upang maging possible ang impossible,” saad ko sa kanya.Napatitig siya sa akin ng ilang minuto saka niya binalik ang kanyang tingin sa ulap na nasa kanyang ibaba. Dahan-dahan siyang bumatiw sa aking kamay hanggang sa lumapag ang kanyang paa sa ulap. Napabungisngis siya ng matagumpay niyang naitapak ang kanyang dalawang paa sa ulap. At ako naman ay lumapag sa kanyang tabi kasabay ng pagtiklop ng aking pakpak.

FORTY-SEVEN (47)-Jc’s POV –(flashback from 2 years ago)Pagkatapos ng bonding ay magkasabay kaming naglakad papunta sa abangan ng jeep. Nakatitig akong sa maamong mukha niya habang siya naman ay parang iniiwasan ang aking tingin. Mukha siyang naiilang na akong ang kasabay niyang umuwi. Si Boss Ganda kasi kadalasan niyang kasabay. Kaso nga lang, napasobra ang inom niya kaya lasing siya at hinatid na nila Lil_Ron sakay ng taxi. Pero hindi naman ito ang unang pagkakataon na magkasabay kaming umuwi. Parang hindi siya nasanay.“Ang tahimik mo jan. Ano bang pinagluluksaan mo?” biro ko.Mukha siyang napilitan ngumiti, “Wala. May gusto sana akong sabihin eh,” sa sobrang hina ng boses niya, hindi ko siya halos marinig.Pero meron din naman akong gustong sabihin sayo. At dahil inunahan mo na ako, mauna ka na.Kinakabahan naman ako sa kung ano ang gusto niyang sabihin.Sinubukan niyang tumingin sa akin pero hindi niya magawang tumingin ng deretso, “Ano kasi, Four… pupunta kami ng Japan ni at

FORTY-SIX (46)-Rhea’s POV –Pakiramdam ko ay umiikot ang buong bahay habang naglalakad ako papunta sa banyo para maligo. Ang tindi ng hangover ko pagkatapos naming mag-inuman nila Mj at Almira hanggang madaling araw. Syempre kasama sila Lorenz, Jc at Ceejay. Parang triple date, ganun. Ideya kasi ito ni Mj. Kaya ang ending absent ako ngayon. At ang malala pa, Bourbon ang ininom namin. Pare-pareho ng tama ng Scotch. Halos sa banyo na nga ako matulog sa kakasuka. At si Mj naman? Beteranong-beterano na sa inuman. Hindi man lang tinablan. At salamat sa taas ng alcohol tolerance niya, nakauwi pa kami. Dahil kung ako lang, malamang sa guest room na naman ako ng party house matutulog.Pinaandar ko ang sink saka naghugas ng kamay. Pagkatapos ay naghilamos na rin upang mawala kahit paano ang aking antok. Matapos kong basain ang mukha ko ay tiningnan ko ang aking sarili sa salamin. Grabe yung eyebags ko oh. Mukha na tuloy akong zombie nito.Napansin ko ang ilang parte ng aking buhok sa bandang

FORTY-FIVE (45)-Third Person’s POV –“Sa mga hindi pa nakakapunta, welcome to party house.” Pahayag ni Jc habang naunang pumasok sa loob. Nasa kanyang likuran naman nakasunog sila Rhea.“Bakit walang tao?” Pagtataka ni Almira habang iniikot ang kanyang paningin sa paligid, “Wala kang show ngayon, pinsan?”“Cancelled para exclusive natin ang buong area.” Sagot naman ni Jc habang naglalakad papunta sa mini bar.“Nag-effort talaga siya oh.” Bulalas pa ni Almira.Nagtungo naman ang lahat sa mini bar kung saan naroroon ni Jc. Tinulungan nila ang kanilang mga sarili na umupo sa counter at binuhat naman ni Almira si Cesha upang umupo sa kanyang tabi.Si Rhea naman na nasa kaliwa ni Almira nakaupo ay mukhang hindi mapakali. Naalala niya ang gabi na nag-inuman sila ni Jc habang nakabaon ang tingin sa Scotch shelves. Sinusubukan niya itong alisin sa kanyang isipan upang hindi maging awkward sa kanya ang paligid.“Anong gustong inumin ng lahat?” Tanong ni Jc kasabay ng pagsulyap niya sa lahat,

FORTY-FOUR (44)“Ang haba naman ng pila.” Reklamo pa ni Rhea habang nakasimangot na nakatingin sa ticket booth ng Rollercoaster.“Wag ka na magreklamo.” Wika pa ni Mj habang hila-hila ang kamay ni Rhea papunta sa ticket booth.Gustuhin mang magreklamo ni Rhea ngunit hinayaan na lamang niyang masunod ang gusto ng kanyang kapatid. Gusto niya rin kasing mag-enjoy ang kanyang kapatid kaya hindi na siya komontra. Ngayon lang kasi siya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na maka-bonding si Mj.Sila Rhea na at Mj ang pumila sa ticket booth. Kahit mahaba man ang pila, mahaba naman ang pasensya ng dalawa upang pumila. Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay nagkaroon na sila ng ticket para sa Rollercoaster. Agad namang nagtungo ang dalawang dalaga sa entrance kung saan naghihintay ang lahat.

Fifty- NineNICOLETTE’S POV —“What was that, baby?” Kian exclaimed as soon as he got off the river.Half of my lips curved for a smirk as I crossed my arms, “You said you can't heal. So I let the river do the job.”“You throw me to the river!”“And look,” my gaze dropped to his wrist, “your wound is healed. You're welcome.”His jaw tightened slightly as he pushed his wet hair back. Droplets of water traced the sharp line of Kian's jaw, trickling down his neck and over his collarbones before sliding across his bare chest.I'd seen him half-naked before so why the hell did he look so different now?I was about to roll my eyes when a strong wind slapped my face. And in the next heartbeat, Kian's nose was already touching mine, his arms locked around my waist.“You're making me melt with that look.” His warm breath brushed against my face, absorbing down to my skin.One of my eyebrows arched. “Just checking if the river caused any serious damage to your head.”That knowing smirk again pl

Fifty- EightNICOLETTE'S POV–Apart from witnessing something between historical and traumatic, there was nothing more horrifying than seeing your whole body covered with blood but no wound, while drowning in a bloody red river. I knew without a doubt that motherfucking James Roswell drove a sword to my body but I couldn't find a faintest wound. Am I really damn dead this time?But for some supernatural reason, this golden mist that spiraled to my body felt like it was pulling me up. My brain cells weren't functioning but one thing was for sure— I needed to get my shit out of here.My hands were reaching the surface that seemed like rippled water until a cold wind wrapped around my fingers.I’m almost to my resurrection.Water splashed across the ground as I finally made it out of the river. The first thing I saw was a brownish wolf flying across the woods before its claws tore into the earth, carving deep trenches as it struggled to regain control.For a heartbeat, my eyes were glued

Fifty- SevenNICOLETTE'S POV –My eyes snapped open, and to my surprise I was somewhere strangely familiar. The feeling that I had been here before, yet for some reasons, it felt different— tall trees, dancing leaves, blooming flowers and soft, gentle chuckles.But as far as I am concerned, I knew I fell on the river, and…. Realization hit me like a voltage, my hands, as if it had their own minds, flew across my body.No wound? Not even a single drop of blood? My eyeballs almost came off, staring at my arms and clutching on my shirt. Cold water washed over my body, my skin was warm as if it had never been drowned in the river.What the fuck is happening? Am I really dead this time?“Kian!” My voice growled, repeating in the brightness of the sunrays.My gaze darted everywhere, not sure of what I was looking for. I couldn't find Kian, Laurent, James and Uncle, which I was pretty sure that they were here. James e

Fifty- SixNICOLETTE'S POV—My whole body completely turned stone, cold sweat dripping across my face while my lips were trembling.“He… saw us…” My voice stuttered, my eyeballs broadening as it locked at James.Just as I heard Kian's tongue click, he hooked an arm around my waist and leaped away from the trunk he was leaning against. In that exact second, James's sword pierced through the trunk.In the same instant, James retrieved his sword while Kian's foot dropped onto the ground. He immediately shoved me behind his back and blocked my entire fucking view.The pressure in the woods suddenly dropped low and heavy, as if trapping my breath in my throat. The next thing I realized was this haunting chills as if needles were pricking on my back.I peeked over Kian's shoulder, enough to see Uncle Arnold's eyes gleaming as it met mine. His eyeballs were completely consumed by black, jaw tightened as his fangs slip

Fifty- FiveNICOLETTE'S POV–“Somebody, help!” A woman was hysterically running without any sense of direction, hurling frantic cries in each corner she stumbled into.Her ragged breathing strained her chest when a black wolf appeared out of nowhere, claws glinting in the darkness as its massive weight lunged straight to her.Another piercing shriek from that woman before a numerous amount of blood splattered on the fur of the wolf. Her body shivered uncontrollably, her eyes broadened— and finally, not another gasp escaped from her.A shiver ran down my spine, freezing my entire operating system. But before my brain could process everything, a gunshot shattered the air. The dark wolf slammed on the ground, blood gushing from the wound like flowing water.“Holy shit.” My jaw hung open, the hairs along my arms stood on the edge while clutching on my chest. “What the…”My knees were trembling, almost losing my bal

Fifty- FourNICOLETTE'S POV– A sharp shriek pierced through the darkness, followed by a broken scream. My eyelids twitched until it opened, revealing a clouded night. As I moved my body up, every inch of my muscles were protesting. And somehow, this clouded place seemed familiar, including the thick mist hung in thin air.Are we in the same cave where we talk about dreams and fated mates? Except for the mist. However, I still had the feeling that I saw this mist before.Another scream splintered into a broken wail, shuddered the steady mist in the air. Next thing I noticed was Kian sitting next to me— whole body shivering, his sweat dripping, his face deeply buried within his hands, and his shoulders violently heaving.“Hey, are you okay?” I crawled up to him, only to realize that my whole body was soaking wet. A freezing wind washed over me, jerking my body and stiffening my fine hairs to its edge.Still, I reached fo
