YOU CANNOT LET ME SLEEP ON THE STREET The child will be taken away after it is born, wiping the memories of the surrogate mother. Alpha vampires, who seem to have no trouble from beginning to end, are fated to watch their human-fated pair grow and die. Ryo's mother didn't inherit the vampire qualities; thus, he died of depression after knowing the infidelity of his husband, the man he had loved for so long, who stayed in his life to break him apart. This made Ryo averse to human emotions, and he promised never to be like his mom. The love that hurts and kills his mother will never be on him, and he will never be like his grandfather, who's chasing, nor be like his great-grandfather, who's still asleep waiting for someone. He will be the first vampire to never be like them. But what if he knows that his stubbornness and the truth of fate and identity will hit him brutally shortly? Will he still choose the same path or be like the rest of his clan? A fool for love. A fallen god who goes against the law of heaven? Then Ryo's phone rang again; he didn't pick it up, for he knew who the caller was by the ringtone he set. "Oh dear me, my cheap father must have been going crazy by now; who would not?" Ryo laughed and stared into nothingness. "You came home to see that all your belongings are piling up like trash, and your house is dug up?" Ryo couldn't help but laugh again like crazy, wiping the tears from his cheeks, and decided to have a good hot bath to relax his nerves. "Mother, it is our home, it has never been a home to Father, so let him hug that vacant lot, full of trash." Soon the phone died from battery exhaustion, another poor phone that will be thrown away like a used condom. When everything seems to be going well after a harmonious family dinner date at a yacht restaurant that Carlson's friend was operating. Brandon was lost for words after he saw that the whole mansion was gone, and his things were scattered. He parked the car like a lost kid with a sudden screech, the other two were riding with Carlson, and he knew they were also shocked like him. "Daddy? Where's the mansion? What's happening?" "Hon? What's going on? This is not what it is. Are we in the wrong direction?" While Carlson leaned his back against the car, watching with curiosity, on the inside, he was utterly disappointed. He doesn't like how things are going, yet he still needs to be seen as an easygoing man, he has a main objective. "Daddy? What does this mean?" "Brandon! Do something! You cannot let me sleep on the street." The panic from the voices of the two was clear even in whispers, making Brandon dizzy. He wanted to scream at them to please shut up and let him think, but he couldn't; it was like his tongue was cut. They're in that situation when a maid approaches them and hands Brandon an open letter, written in big letters. THE HOUSE IS MY INHERITANCE, SO I'M GOING TO TAKE IT, AND YOU CAN HAVE THE DUMP SITE ALL TO YOURSELF. Then, the three of them were startled and jumped back; the paper burned, and the maid was gone. "What the hell was that?" Brandon gasped, afraid to get burnt, he was still trying to understand the letter by reading it repeatedly when it caught fire and was gone, leaving him no choice but to digest what was in front of him. A wide empty lot to be called a dump site is an insult. The manager's back was sweating cold after the CEO left, making her knees weak. She can't lift her head to make eye contact with four of her trusted employees and assigned them as the main servants of the VIP staying at the rooftop. "You ok?" One of the bellboys asked her while carrying some luggage to their respective rooms. "Yeah, I'm good, don't mind me, and do your job." She left the crowd and went inside her office. "Who is this Omega to catch his eyes?" She muttered in the air. The bellboy just shrugged his shoulders and went on his way. On the other hand, inside the car, Iro and Nigel removed their masks and breathed a deep sigh of relief; the mask that covered their entire face was like a miasma cutting their oxygen off, only showing half of their lips to keep their identity. They also loosened their necktie to breathe more air comfortably, and Iro witnessed the scenario at the hotel, giving more reason why his tigress was crying like a wet chicken the other day. He thought the Omega he accidentally touched was crying that day because of Carlson, his half-brother, but it turns out it's more than that. "Nigel, investigate my Ryo's background thoroughly, deeper than his soul; I want to know more than just the basics, and give it to me in less than a day." "Ha? Who again? And what!?" Nigel almost choked from the water he was drinking like a savior when his relief was cut short. "My what?!" He can't believe Iro was putting so much effort into knowing someone and, most importantly, an Omega? Even taking ownership? Is that a pet? "And assign three bodyguards around to silently watch him without getting noticed, please choose someone not handsome, pretty ugly." "..." Three black lines crossed Nigel's forehead. Like, what kind of requirement was that? "Find a strong bodyguard who will watch my tigress 24/7." "Cough cough cough, what?" Iro rested his slender fingers on his chin as if questioning his decision. "Why? Is an ugly bodyguard his fetish?" "Urgh! I don't know" Nigel rolls his eyes out of frustration. The demands were enough to know someone better, but putting bodyguards with heavenly requirements unbeknownst to the other party gives Nigel bad weather. Nigel can't utter any more words, the request was getting heavier. He didn't mean to make a joke about it, but the way Iro replied makes him want to explode from madness. "Don't you dare ask me to steal his register and abduct him today, too, and force him to marry you." Nigel, looking at Iro's bored face, as if telling him, "YES, PLEASE DO IT." "Can't I?" Iro mouthed then. "Oh shit, give me a damn break!" But Iro was dead serious. If abduction justifies his actions¹⁵AN ENIGMA CREATED ARTIFICIALLYIro was tired of talking anyway, and when they thought the day was over, they were wrong.Nigel, who had just chosen a good candidate to be an unnoticed bodyguard, stopped when the phone rang more than twice.Nobody answered it until it stopped ringing but vibrated, signaling a text had just been received, and that's when Nigel picked it up and read the content.Making Iro's bored face darkened."Damn this eventful day," Iro said, brushing his hair harshly and wearing a black wig to cover his long silver hair. "So? I guess you made a decision?"Nigel asked, waiting for more instructions."Turn the car, of course, I need to go home. I might as well see what my grandfather had prepared for me."The driver did not need to be told twice and made a perfect U-turn with ease."Should we wait for you?"Nigel asked."No, just go back, and I'l

1325 YEARS PASS"How are you doing there?"The morning rays are shining like endless hope, but for Iro, it's only reminding him to keep living, like how Ryo wishes."I'm leaving the Philippines for good and staying in England until my last breath, I hope you're doing ok, see you again my love."A tear fell from his eyes while kissing the tomb of his deceased Omega.He was unwilling to leave but how can he face life, without Ryo?And wherever he goes it only reminds him of his unfulfilled love."Uwahhhhh."Iro wiped his face with the back of his hands stood up almost hugging the ground, and carried the baby out from the stroller."Iyo, say bye to mommy."He holds the small hand gesturing goodbye and waves it twice while his tears can't be stopped from falling onto the grave.Timid footsteps approach the two, one crying loudly and the other silently."Brother let's go, mother is waiting inside the car.""Hmm" sniff sniff sniff.As the car left without turning back, one pair of red eyes
12 HE WAS LITERALLY PLANNING ON CHAINING HIS TIGRESS There was a little commotion in the castle when an ant-sized block was towering like a lost toddler beside the giant fountain in front of the maze garden. Pure vampires waited until dark to get out and crowd the lone form filled with curiosity that was delivered by a helicopter. Then a car went in as the gate closed on its own without anyone controlling or pushing a button to manipulate it, in short, it's hunted, but that's what makes vampires cool. All the heads didn't bother to notice him, they're all interested to know more about the structure that's sweating if it could be alive. Ryo came out of the car and clapped his hands, to let everyone know of his existence. "Why is this house here? Is the castle not enough? Or something happens?" Juanillo one of the vampires asked after confirming the scent of Ryo that was wrapping the abode. "It's a long story" As if what Ryo said was a magic word, chairs in the air, p
11THE WEDDING WAS JUST A WORDAfter crashing late at night, at Wilson's place, Brandon let his wife come upstairs first to have a rest and offer Wilson a wine as apology, which was accepted by the young Alpha.Sachin also retired even though he wanted to latch like a leech unto Wilson, he just let the two have some time for themselves.The wine was served elegantly swirling down the glass, and when it explore Wilson's tongue melting through his throat making an outline within his chest, he suddenly forget who he was and what's his purpose.It blended so good within his core that he took three more sip before putting down the champagne glass with discontentment written on his down the table.He wanted to chug every last drop of the wine, he can even chew the bottle to leave no remnants, but that would be madness, he's still sober to give in.Satisfied with the reaction, Brandon talked straight without hesitation, testing the man he met for the first time in face, though he always saw
10TO AVENGE HIS WIFE "The number you have dialled is unattended, the number you have dialled----"Shit!"Brandon kick the light post where he was standing, he's anger was making him a fool, he tried so many times to contact Ryo, only to get nothing.He don't know what just happened to the house that was suddenly dug up leaving a big hole, all his belongings are thrown in disarray worst than a garbage.And that paper burn to ashes leaving no evidence,The sweat on his back can filled a bucket, he don't have any words to explain the situation towards the three people behind his back.He can't just tell them to go home and forget what you have seen, everything's an illusion.When he already thought of an excuse, Wilson tap his back, with a blank face.The anxiousness written to Brando's wet face was disgusting, if Wilson don't have a hidden agenda, he could've just left and go."I don't know what's happening, but if you don't have a place to go, my house is big enough to accommodate th
