تسجيل الدخولAs my blade pierces the base of his neck, the silver sizzles against his skin. His cold blue eyes open wide. The grim reality of his situation sets in. He gulps hard and shakes his head in fear. "I repent." He squeaks like the coward he is. "Forgive my crimes. Let me face the Council." "You'll find no mercy here, Sin." Blood gushes down his bare chest freely. "You will be judged by the Goddess." His expression quickly changes to one of anger, exposing his ruse. "I see you in the Palace of the Goddess, I will kill you again." I growl. "And if she casts me out, I will meet you on the edge of the River Styx and kill you in Purgatory over and over until the Ferryman come to collect us. And if Hades allows, I will continue to kill you in the Underworld until the end of time." "I underestimated you." He chokes. "Everyone does." I whisper as I lay my full weight against the pommel.

Isang umaga habang ako'y abala sa aking paglalaba may isang tao na bigla nalang ako ginulat."Ay butike! Ano ka ba naman Maxine! Ano'ng ginagawa mo dito?"Sabi ko sa kanya sabay lingon sa aking likuran at kita ko agad ang nakakaloko nyang ngiti.Ngunit ang kaninang ngiti ay napalitan ng yamot nung tinapunan ko siya ng bula ng sabon sa kanyang mukha."Ano ba kasi ang ginagawa mo dito? Sabay baling ko sa pintuan at baka andun si mama. Alam mong mainit ang bait sayo ni mama ngayon dahil sa pag layas nating dalawa kagabe na hindi man lang nag paalam.""Eh kasi naman Dianne yung boyfriend mong si Ian panay ang chat saken. Bakit daw hindi ka nag o-online. Sige na bye! Baka maabutan pa ako dito ni tita at masabon pa ng bareta itong maganda kong mukha. Mag online kana muna at siguradong nag da-dragon na yun sa galit ang jowa mong......ah basta.!"By the way, she is Maxine Claire Ibarra. She is my Best friend, she's a damn pretty at may kaya sa buhay. Ang pagkaka-alam ko ay nag-iisang anak si Max. Full support siya sa akin kahit sa pag bo-boyfriend ko ng biglaan. Ngunit galing din sa broken family kung kaya't magkasundo kami since High School. At siya ang may alam lahat ng mga sikreto ko sa magulo kong buhay.At ako naman si Dianne Ace Reyes, 25 years old. Isang mahirap na nilalang sa mundong ibabaw na pinagkaitan ng masaya at boung pamilya. Kung kaya't pati pag no-nobyo ko hindi ko man lang pinag isipan ng mabuti bago ko pasukin ang tinatawag nilang pakikipag relasyon.Agad kong binuksan ang data ng aking cellphone at doon na lamang ang gulat ko nang sunod-sunod na nag pop-up ang mga missed calls at ilang chat message ni Ian. Ano naman kaya ang problema nang taong 'to. Sabay pindot ko sa keyboard para mag reply sa kanya."Hi mahal, naglalaba ako kaya hindi ako naka-kapag online pa."Sabay baba ko ng aking cellphone ngunit hindi ko pa naman naii-baba ay tumunog na ulit hudyat na nag reply na ang aking mahal.Ian:“Magkita tayo mamaya 7:30 sa dating tagpuan.”"Okay mahal,see you later. Loveyou!"Hindi na siya nag reply kaya bumalik na ulit ako sa paglalaba at baka maabutan pa ako ni mama at pagalitan na naman ako.Mahal ko si Ian ngunit hindi yung tipong luluhudan ko para masabing mahal ko talaga. Andun yung kilig sa tuwing magkasama kami, tuwing magkahawak kamay namin. Pero minsan napapaisip ako kung masaya ba ako sa kanya? Na kuntento ba talaga ako sa pagmamahal niya? Basta ang alam ko lang ay napapamahal na ako sa kanya yung tipong sakto lang, walang labis walang kulang kumbaga.Kasi minsan hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit hindi ko maramdaman ang sinasabi nilang inlove! Yung sabik ka lagi na makita siya,hinihintay mo lagi ang tawag niya. Yung tipong makita mo palang siya duma-dagundong na sa kaba ang puso mo na parang aalpas na sa sobrang saya. Yung mga ganun.Ah basta! Mahirap i-explain anteeh!Hapon na nang matapos ako sa aking paglalaba at si mama naman ay nasa kanyang kwarto at nag papahinga dahil kararating niya lang galing sa palengke para mag tinda ng mga isda.Oo isang magtitinda ng isda ang aking mama at may sarili kaming puwesto doon sa merkado. Kaya ganun nalang ang aking pasasalamat kasi kahit papaano ay nakapagtapos ako ng High Shool kahit mag isa lang si mama.Ibig kong sabihin siya lang ang nag hahanap buhay para matustusan ang pag aaral ko.Nag iisa akong anak kaya kahit papaano ay napag tapos ako ni mama kahit high school lamang.Ang papa ko? Yun ang hindi ko alam kung saang lupalop siya ng mundo naroon. At wala akong balak na hanapin siya. Sabihin na nilang masama akong anak, pero hindi nila ako masisisi kung ganon na lamang ang pagkasuklam ko sa aking ama.Kaya kahit nung nag aaral pa ako simula First Year ay tumutulong na ako kay mama sa pamamagitan ng pag sa-sideline ko minsan sa isang shop. Xerox operator ako doon at tuwing sabado at linggo lang ang pasok ko."Ma alis po muna ako. May pupuntahan lang po kami ni Maxine. Nag papasama po si Max sa kabilang bayan, tatagpuin niya daw po kasi ang kanyang papa."Hindi ko na hinintay ang tugon ni mama at baka nakatulog na.Atleast nag paalam ako kahit hindi niya rinig, sabi ko sa aking sarili.Hindi alam ni mama na may boyfriend ako. Kaya lagi si Maxine ang dahilan ko sa tuwing magkikita kami ni Ian. Alam din ni maxine yun kaya to the rescue siya lagi. Isang taon na pala kami ni Ian at sana stay strong sa amin dahil araw-araw kaming nag babangayan.Sumakay na ako ng jeep para pumunta sa tagpuan namin ni Ian. Habang nasa byahe ako ay nag txt ako kay Maxine na tatagpo ako ngayon kay Ian at sinabi ko din sa kanya kung ano ang sinabi ko kay mama na dahilan at baka gabehin ako sa pag uwi, kaya siya na muna ang bahala para lusotan ang kalokohan ko sa buhay.Malapit na ako sa meeting place namin ni Ian kaya hindi na ako nag chat sa kanya kahit online naman siya. At nakababa na nga ako sa jeep at dumiretso na agad ako sa cafeteria kung saan kami lage nag kikita.Papasok na ako at kita ko na agad si Ian kahit nakatalikod ito ay alam kong siya yun dahil sa clean-cut niyang gupit at malapad niyang likod. Ngunit nagulat ako dahil may kaharap itong maganda at sexy na babae at alam kong wala akong panama doon.Bigla akong nanglambot kaya nagpalamig nalang muna ako dito sa labas ng cafeteria,antayin ko nalang na makaalis yung babae bago pumasok. Ewan ko kung sino yung babae na yun. Baka kaibigan o kaklase ni ian,pero bakit parang ang seryoso naman yata ng pinag uusapan nila? Tanong ko sa aking sarili sabay upo.Si Ian ay matanda sa akin ng dalawang taon at kaklase ko siya noong Third Year High School kami.Ian Emannuel Antenor ang totoo niyang pangalan. Kaka-graduate lang namin ng High School at nag aaral din siya ngayon sa isang sikat na Private University dito sa aming lugar sa Cebu.Milo’s POV“Bronx!” I stand up and block him from throwing a water pitcher at an analyst who yawned during our afternoon debrief.“If she’s not going to take this seriously, she can get the fuck out!” He rages.“Alpha, stop! She’s worked sixteen hour shifts for the past three days and she came in at five a.m. for a conference call with our contact in Istanbul today!” I hold my arms out, giving the staff a chance to escape out the door. “You need to stand down!”“I’ll calm down when we find Kas, Milo!” He punches the wall, leaving a giant hole. The last few people behind me gasp and scurry out of the room.“Bronx, we’re all working as hard as we can to find her.” Reggie steps up beside me. “You can’t keep losing your shit with the people trying to help. It’s only slowing us down!”“Bro, we’re not going to get another chance to speak to the Brisbane office until they get access to run another traffic camera scan.” I try to talk sense into him. “Going ballistic on our search team isn’t g
James sits on the rope to lower it enough for Kas to climb in. She nods at what her guards are telling her, and sways side to side with her hands on her hips. She cracks her knuckles and moves to the center of the ring, swinging her arms in a last-minute stretch as she waits for Bronx.The fighter in the ring isn’t the Kas we know and love. There’s not even a suggestion of her usual smile and excitement. There’s just cold, galvanized, unforgiving, yet contained anger.The lead trainer recites the rules as Bronx takes off his eyepatch and hands it to Reggie. He steps to the center of the ring, but he doesn’t look like he realizes how dead serious Kas is about this scrimmage.The trainer blows his whistle, and Kas takes a defensive stance. She is already petite. The posture makes her look comically small compared to Bronx’s tall, unbothered position.Unlike Musu and my fight, everyone is dead silent except for Marco and James who are calling out coded instructions to Kas. No one else da
“Did you talk to Bronx?” I ask while looking in the vanity mirror.“Lenora!” Justice yelps out of nowhere, scaring the shit out of me.I grab my chest to calm my heart. “Justice, Codi is fine. She’s sound asleep in her crib. Anne is going to stay with her.”“It’s not that. Well, it is, but… something’s happening. I can sense it.”I try to calm myself as I weave my fingers through my hair. “We’ve spoken to Doctor Berra about this. If there’s something wrong, we need to talk it out, not freak out. So, what do you sense? I’ll try to help.”“If I knew I would tell you, child. It feels like-” She gets ready to go into a rant, but gets interrupted.“Yeah, I spoke to him when we were lifting yesterday.” Milo replies from the bedroom. “He hasn’t talked to Kas about your goddess stuff yet. He doesn’t know how to break it to her, so he’s been avoiding her, I guess. It sounded like it was really stressing him out.”“And she thinks he’s fucking around on her.” I mutter under my breath while smoot
Lenora’s POV“You see?” Musu puts her hands on her knees and pants. “A few hard workouts every week are all you need. No?”I lower myself to the floor with a groan and roll onto my back. “I don’t know about that, but I’m definitely too tired to worry anymore. I guess now that my back doesn’t hurt, I have to make up for lost time.”It’s been over a month since I tried to explain to Milo why Randall criticizing me was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Between Justice trying to stop me and Ghost… Well, I don’t know if Ghost was trying to protect our secret from Milo or if he truly doesn’t understand the gravity of the continuation of my life, but I failed miserably at trying to explain. Justice has even resorted to ignoring me unless she absolutely has to engage with me.When I got back from checking on Musu, Milo began to treat me differently. It’s like he was actually noticing me for the first time in a long time. He has been extra sweet and thoughtful. More than usual, I mean. He
“Child, you can’t tell our mate what we know.” Justice’s voice isn’t angry, but it has a hint of warning to it. “So you really think Randall knew about the Menae before Kas?” I fold my hands behind my head and look up at the ceiling in the dark. “Definitely. Paars is one of the Dark in hiding. I’
“Alpha Bristow, thank you so much for your hospitality.” Milo shakes the man’s hand and gives him a broad smile. He shows us directly to the cozy dining room with a rustic, round wooden table.“No, Beta Regent, the honor is all ours. Call me Lowe. We’re a small pack. I only use my surname for ceremo
“Good Morning, Beta.” Sondi Eklund pokes her head into my office. “Would you be able to review these retirement package updates I’m proposing to the Alpha?”I look up from my spreadsheet and try to smile at her. “Of course, Sondi. Please come in.”“I already highlighted the sections in question.” Sond
“Kaaas?! Are you sure you and Codi will be okay?” I yell into the living room. “I can call the daycare and see if they have someone who can come up.”“No, we’re fine.” Kas’s voice sounds strangled.Milo peeks his head into the living room and pulls back quickly. He doubles over in a silent laugh, poin
