登入Following a heartbreak from my betrothed and the man I have loved all of my life, I leave my home and family behind, seeking solace in the Realm of the Humans. Having no qualifications to live in a world bound by stupid rules has me jumping at an absurdly good offer to be the personal assistant to a top class business man. And my first assignment is delivering his forgotten wedding rings to the event. I found my mate. My boss, standing at the altar, exchanging vows with a puny human woman I could break in half if I wanted to. I flee, fingers clutching the damned ring boxes. He leaves his fiancée at the altar, chasing after me, but it makes no difference to me. I have had my fair share of rejections and I can't take anymore of it. So, I reject him, before he can do the same to me. But rather than cower in pain, he cracks a grin that makes my stony heart stumble, and leans forward, several feet taller than me. "And you're fired."

"Ms. Peachee Gellato?" Narinig ko nang tawag sa pangalan ko kaya napatayo ako agad mula sa hanay ng mga nakaupong mga aplikante para maging personal maid ni Mr. Stefan Castellano. Ubod man ito ng sungit at arogante kilala naman sa pagiging liberal na magpasahod. Kaya kapag ganitong bukas ang bahay niya para sa mga aplikante na gusto mamasukan ay talaga namang naguunahan ang mga babaeng taga-bayan para maging kasambahay sa mansion. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, hindi lang basta kasambahay ang hinahanap kundi hustong mapagkakatiwalaan at dapat na maasahan at higit matatag ang loob hindi rin pusong mamon at kaya sabayan ang hindi nito magandang ugali. Kaya ngayong araw dadaan kami sa mahigpit na pagsusuri at sa dami rin namin dito, isa lang ang maaaring makuha... kaya mapalad na lang ang mapipili. Pinapasok na ako ng isang kasambahay sa loob ng isang katamtaman laki ng silid na tanggapan ng aplikante. May lamesa pagpasok ko at nakita ang may edad na mayordoma ng mansion, nakaupo sa may upuan ng lamesa at nakaharap sa bandang direksyon ng pintuan. "Magandang umaga ho," magalang kong bati dala ang brown envelope ko na laman lang ay biodata. Hindi ito agad bumati sa akin pabalik, mapanuri niya muna akong tiningnan mag-mula sa suot ko. Medyo nahiya pa nga ako na iniangat ang damit ko sa bandang dibdib dahil mababa lang ang kwelyo ng suot kong bestida kaya nakikita ang hiwa nito, at dahil din sa lusog at pintog nitong dibdib ko. Hindi ko rin naman magawang maitago dahil medyo may kalakihan talaga ang hinaharap ko at suot din ang luma kong sling bag na pinaresan ng lumang sandalyas. Hindi na ako nag-abala pa maging pormal o bumili ng damit para maging presentable at kasambahay lang naman ang a-apply-an at isa pa wala ako pambili kaya nga kailangan ko ng trabaho. "Magandang umaga rin naman. Maupo ka." Tinuran niya na ang bakanteng silya kaya hindi na ako nagsayang pa ng oras mabilis ako lumapit sa harap ng lamesa at naupo sa bakante nitong silya. Inilahad ko ang dala ko. "Biodata ko po." Inilapag ko sa lamesa pero bigla siyang natawa nang makita. "Resume na uso ngayon, hija." Kinuha niya pa rin naman kaya napaayos ako ng upo at napahawak sa batok at mahinang tumikhim sa hiya. "Pasensya na po, hindi ho ako maalam gumawa ng resume eh, saka wala po akong budget para magpagawa kaya ayan na lang biodata na lang po," hinging paunmanhin ko na sandaling ikinatigil ng Mayordoma at sumeryoso ang mukha na muli akong pinagmasdan. Humugot siya ng malalim na pag-hinga at binuklat na ang laman ng envelope kinuha ang biodata ko sa loob at binasa. "Peachee Gellato, 19 years old, high school lang ang natapos," basa niya sa paunang nakasulat suot ng salamin sa mata. "Hindi ka pumapasok sa kolehiyo?" tanong niya nang mag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin at tumaas pa ang isang kilay. Umiling ako. "Hindi po eh... kailangan pa po ba ng college degree katulong lang naman po?" sagot ko na medyo nabahala kaya napatawa ito. "Hindi naman sa required, naitanong ko lang," rason niya na ikinatango ko at nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. "Hindi po ako pumasok ng college ngayong taon dahil hindi po kaya ng mga magulang ko ang pang-matrikula at isa pa... hindi po ako matalino, baka hindi rin po ako makapagtapos..." Nabigla siya sa sinabi ko. "Hanggang katulong lang pangarap mo?" tanong niya at pinaningkitan ako ng mata. "Hindi naman po sa ganoon... kaso mukang itong trabaho lang na ito ang kaya lang ho ng utak ko, at napunta po kasi ata lahat ng laman sa dibdib ko," biro ko kaya natagpuan ko siyang nakaawang ang bibig na para bang naging kaawa-awa ako bigla sa paningin niya imbis na matawa. "Ang baba ng tingin mo sa sarili mo," pagalit niya at hindi nagustuhan ang sinabi ko pero nagkibit balikat lang ako at natawa ng kimi. "Iyon po kasi sabi ng Nanay at Tatay ko... wag na raw ho ako mag-aral kasi wala rin naman ako matututunan kaya heto, mangatulong na lang daw ako." Hindi siya nakapinawala. "Sinabi nila iyan?" Tumango ako. "Opo..." "At pinanindigan mo talaga? Ayaw mo ba patunayan na mali sila?" alinsunod niyang tanong na hindi ko agad nasagot. "Peachee, tama?" Binasa niya ulit ang pangalan ko sa biodata at ibinalik din ang tingin niya sa akin. "Tandaan mo, walang ibang taong makakapagsabi ng kapasidad ng isang tao kahit pa magulang iyan at buong buhay mo pa silang nakasama, may sarili ka dapat isip at paninindigan," payo niya na ikinangiti ko. "Salamat po sa salitang masarap sa tainga pero hindi po talaga ako matalino kung may bagay na magaling po ako siguro ay ang mang-akit ng lalaki," biro ko na siyang ikinalaki ng mga mata niya. Napahalakhak ako. "Biro lang po!" Sabay bawi at humagikgik. "Sinabi rin po kasi ng Nanay ko magtrabaho na lang daw ako sa isang beer house o club para naman daw makatulong ako tutal siguro magiging mabenta ako sa mga lalaki..." Natawa pa nga ako at inaasahan ko rin na matatawa siya pero awa lang sa mukha niya ang nakita ko kaya napalis ng ngiti ko. "Ganyan sila sa iyo?" Nauyam niyang tanong. "Gusto nila kung hindi ka mangangatulong, mag-trabaho na lang sa isang beer house?" dagdag pa niya batid ang pagkadismaya. Tumango naman ako. Wala akong dahilan para magsinungaling background interview naman ito. "Opo... pero ayaw ko maging GRO, Ma'am," tapat kong sagot na ikinabigla pa niya. "Gusto ko naman ho ng disenteng trabaho na kahit mababa lang ang titulo at least masasabi ko... marangal." Tumagal ang tingin niya sa akin. "Utak ko man po'y madalas kapos... pero iyung dangal ko gusto kong manatili sa akin dahil ito na lang ho ang bagay na meron ako na maipagmamalaki ko..." Doon ay unti-unti siya ngumiti. Bigla na siyang tumayo kaya kinabahan ako dahil akmang aalis na sya nang walang desisyon kung tanggap ba ako o hindi pero ang sunod niyang sinabi ang nagbigay galak at labis na tuwa sa akin. "Tanggap ka na, pwede ka na mag-umpisa bukas na bukas rin galingan mo sa trabaho." Ibinalik niya sa brown envelope ang biodata ko. "Bukas, 6:00 ng umaga dapat nandito ka na, ibi-briefing kita sa magiging trabaho mo at itong biodata mo." Itinaas niya para ipakita sa akin. "Kailangan ko itong ipakita muna kay Mr. Castellano, at bukas may final interview ka sa kanya kaya mag-handa ka." Umalis na siya sa lamesa bitbit ang envelope ko at nag-tungo na sa pintuan at lumabas na... At ako? Naiwang natulala rito at hindi pa makapaniwalang ako ang natanggap sa mga dalawampu na mga aplikanteng sumubok pero ako... ako ang... napili?NAOMIIt is indeed amusing, more so than I thought it would be.Dane would laugh his head off if he saw me right now, carrying a backpack, strutting down a hallway filled with women who stare at me with wide eyes and men who whistle unabashedly. I know, I look good in leather.I halt by a huge door, peering up at a sentinel who has the sternest stare. “Hello, love. Would you mind opening up for me? I have an appointment with your…principal?”His gaze rakes me from head to toe and rises back again. “Chancellor Vesper,” he mouths slowly, like he’s talking to a kid, and I can’t help the faint smile that blooms across my lips at the notion. The male turns around, and I whistle at how nice his ass looks in uniform. Stepping foot into this land has brought me across the finest specimens I’ve ever seen. There is no end to them. None at all. I step out of my allotted room in castle—hot guards. I walk the streets of Lycanthia—extremely hot villagers. I walk into school—stunning, beautiful and
It’s not mine, I swear.“I’m sorry,” my husband apologizes for the umpteenth time, dropping a kiss to the curve of my mouth. It’d almost been a mishap. Almost. Had Ethan not swooped in with rings that I’m pretty sure were new; rings I didn’t choose. As if he somehow knew Sinclair was going to lose them, like he did during his wedding with Eliana. I currently have a fucking plan B on my ring finger and the more I look at the more I want to smack him.I purse my lips, refusing to speak to him. I’m not particularly mad, but how does a man forget his own damned wedding rings? Okay, maybe I’m a little irked, and plenty disappointed.Grasping his cool hands tightly, I let him spin me across the floors in an elaborate sweep than earns cheers and I blush, smiling at a clapping Ray. “I’ll murder you later,” I tell Sinclair and Dane chokes on his wine somewhere in the gathering.“I look forward to what method you’ll chose. Your hands are much too small to strangle me. You love me too much to p
Three Months Later…GinevraMy fingers are sweaty around Rune’s arm, and my steps are slow, a complete contrast to my racing heartbeat. I cannot, for the life of me, contain my excitement and anxiety. My breaths are shallow, and I can’t get enough air in my lungs.Rune’s larger hand lands on mine, and I glance up, looking through the veil. His green eyes smile as he pats down gently. “Think of tonight. It’ll help.”Tonight. Butterflies scatter in my stomach. It’s not like it’s going to be my first night with Sinclair, but it is my wedding night after all. The first night I’ll spend as Mrs. Winchester. My toes curl in my heels at the thought of it, and maybe, just maybe I start walking a little faster to get it over with.I grin widely as Ethan, dressed in a black tuxedo, gives the huge door a large push and it parts wide enough to reveal the floral petal pathway. Rune takes the first step up, and I follow, blowing a playful kiss at Ethan, whose lips tilt up into a small smile.As I st
Fenrir Leaning against the wall, he overlooked the gardens where his mate knelt, tending to the flowers with her bare hands. Her light hair brushed over her cheek and she pushed it back, smearing mud on her porcelain skin. Her eyes were the brightest he’d seen them in days, and he wished he could take her with him.It was for her, after all, that he was doing this for. He would right the only wrong he had done in his life. He would return to the past, and ensure he never even met with the boy’s mother.But Fenrir knew there were consequences and sacrifices to be made if he was going to toy with time. Nothing as drastic as losing his life, but he truly did wonder if the world might have been a better place without him. An awful thought. If he didn’t exist, Hekate wouldn’t have been reborn into Rune’s body and the problem with the Void would never have been resolved. Zephyr would have been mated to some lord who didn’t understand her meek, yet wild nature and desires. The world was
Alaric The sound of a bowstring disturbed the silence and Alaric frowned as he watched the arrow hit the mark. Off. He was off by a few inches. He walked back to his supplies and took another arrow, nocking it. His hands were bloodied. He’d been at it for hours. There was no better way to ge
In a split second, he strikes, grabbing my wrist, and his gaze locks onto mine as he twists it, disarming me. The knife clatters to the floor and in that moment, I realize I’ve only managed to excite him. How can I get to him in the same way that he did me? How can I hurt him too and make him feel a
Ray laughs at me the entire ride home. The jerk took my purse with him as well, with my phone, so I wouldn’t be able to call anyone to come get me. And he’d tied my hands so tightly, it had taken Mr. Dante cutting the tie with a knife to get my hand loose.Walking to the counter in my underwear and h
