BJOURNE gave Marifer a tour around Astrid City on the following day. Tuwang-tuwa siya dahil kahit paano, napilit niya itong dumaan sila sa ilang boutique. Sayang lang at wala siyang nagustuhan sa mga pinuntahan.
"Are you sure you didn't like that floral dress? It looked good on you," suhestiyon nito paglabas nila ng panlimang shop.
She actually liked it. She just didn't like the idea of Bjourne paying for her stuff. Namomroblema na nga siya sa late blooming daddy issues niya, magpapaka-sugar daddy pa ito. Baka lamunin na siya ng kahihiyan kung nagkataon.
She shook her head. "Nah. It's too cheap. Anyone can afford it. I don't like things that are easy to buy. Nakakahiya ang may makasalubong kang parehas mo ng suot."
Bjourne tried to hide his smirk as he cleared his throat. "Are you sure it's because of that?"
"Of course. Anong akala mo sa akin? Sinungaling?" Tinaasan pa n

Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagdadalawang-isip kaya naman bago pa ito tuluyang makatanggi, hinawakan niya na ito sa braso at tinitigan sa mga mata. "You said there's no chance that Irene might still come back, right? Kasi kahit kayo hindi ninyo alam saan ba talaga sila nagpunta ni Eric, so yeah. Sasama ako. Maybe I can help talk things out. Involve ang bestfriend ko. I know Irene. She'll probably just feel more sorry if she'll find out Baron is still this way." Nalunok niya ang namuong bara sa kanyang lalamunan. "She... She doesn't deserve secondhand pain, Bjourne..."Sandaling napasara ng mga mata si Bjourne habang humuhugot ng malalim na hininga. "Sigurado ka ba?"Naiwas niya ang tingin dito. "If I have to make up stories for him to cope up then... Then I will. It worked with me. Nakalimutan ko ang pagkawala ng mommy ko dahil sa sarili kong kasinungalin

Nakaupo siya sa mahabang sofa at hawak ang tasa ng tsaa habang si Elmont at Bjourne ay nasa dalawang single seater. Bjourne was leaning his body forward facing her direction while looking at Elmont who's comfortably crossing his leg over the other Nakapatong sa arm rest ang isang braso ni Elmont habang ang isang kamay ay hinahaplos ang baba nito."Compulsion is a rare ability of a vampire. Senyor Vance, Senyor Valian, Azrael, and Crane were the only vampires I know who can do compulsion," dugtong na paliwanag ni Elmont."Rare? You mean there are other abilities vampires possess?" she asked out of curiosity.Bjourne breathed in deeply. Bumaling ito sa kanya bago tumango. "Some can see the past during blood feed. Some can determine a victim's desire, deepest darkest secrets, while others are just strong and

Kahit na hindi niya sigurado kung saan ang dapat puntahan at ang pamilyar na amoy lamang ang kanyang sinusundan, hindi nita mapigilan ang kanyang pananabik. Hindi siya pwedeng magkamali dahil kilalang-kilala niya ang kanyang ina kaya alam niyang ito ang nararamdaman niya sa paligid.There was never a day that she didn't sit inside her walk in closet where she kept her mother's clothes sprayed with her favorite perfume. Niyayakap niya ang mga damit nito habang sinisiksik niya sa kanyang isip ang kasinungalingang siya mismo ang bumuo. Although she made herself believe that her mother was already dead, she still, just like every daughter mourning for their mother, sometimes craves for her mom's presence.Kahit pa sinabi ni Bjourne na ipinanganak siya dahil kay Jophiel, hindi kailanman mawawala ang pag

Kabanata 27"HAVE you heard? Valian sent some minions to Remorse. What a stupid little rascal."Gumuhit ang makahulugang ngisi sa mga labi ni Yvann matapos madinig ang ibinalita ni Crane. Prente siyang nakaupo sa mahabang sofa habang hawak ang baso ng pinaghalong alak at dugo ng babaeng nakahiga sa kanyang kandungan—tulala at nakaawang ang mga labi.Sa totoo lang ay matagal na siyang hindi nakikialam sa mga nangyayari. If it wasn't for Crane who still tells him what's going on, he's really not going to give a damn anymore.Dahil sa totoo lang, seeing Michael finally free is something hard to accept. Hindi dahil ayaw niya kay Michael. Sure, the head Archangel got the angst and terrifying attitude. Pero hindi iyon ang dahilan.He got so used to the great relationship Michael and Lucifer had, and seeing them this way now, it just... Hits different. Kaya nga magmula nang palayain siya ni Jophiel s

It was an important night for the whole District, but none of the pack members felt like celebrating, not even the newly proclaimed Alphas.Hindi dahil hindi masaya ang mga ito. It's just that, they knew, if the former alphas didn't die, Levi, Layco, Pearce, and Alexander will still have enough time to prepare themselves for the responsibility of being Alphas.At sana, hindi ganito kalungkot ang dapat ay isa sa pinakamahalagang gabi para sa mga bagong Alpha.Malaki ang tiwala ni Bjourne sa kanyang mga alaga, ngunit alam niyang sa kabila ng tatag ng mga ito, naroon ang panghihinayang na wala ang mga magulang nito upang ipagbunyi ang pagpapasa ng trono.Sa unang pagkakataon, apat na Alpha ang pinasahan ng responsibilidad hindi sa mismong Vourden Castle, kung hindi sa himlayan ng mga dating pinuno.

Kabanata 29HINDI napigilan ni Bjourne ang paglandas ng matipid ngunit kuntentong ngiti sa kanyang mga labi nang maabutan ang kanyang apat na bagong Alpha kasama si Kyran sa sementeryo. Nakaupo ang mga ito sa damuhan at pinanonood ang papalubog na araw.It's already been a month since they officially became Alphas, and today, they went there again to maybe tell their folks how things are going.Bjourne stood behind them. Tiningala siya sandali ng lima ngunit nang makita ng mga ito ang matipid niyang ngiti, kusa ring nagsipagkurba ang labi ng mga ito. They took in enough breath and then stared at the setting sun together. Nobody talked, not even the cursing machine alpha of Tyrain. Pinagmasdan lamang nila ang kalangitan habang may munting kurba sa kanilang mga labi.Bjourne hopes his Alphas know how proud he is to be there, not in front of them but behind them, his black wings they cannot see spreading widely,

Pulang-pula na ang mga mata nito at ang mga labi ay mariing nakasara habang panay ang hugot ng malalim na hininga para lang makontrol ang sariling emosyon.Hank was sitting at the hood of his car, his innocent child was sleeping at his shoulder while Kiara was inside the car, unconscious."What happened?" bungad ni Bjourne dito nang tuluyang malapitan ang mag-ama.Hank sucked in enough breath then looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Nanginig ang ibaba nitong labi nang tangkain nitong magsalita.He shut his lips again as tears began to trail down his face. "She's... She's going to die if I..." Pumiyok nang tuluyan ang tinig nito at sa huli, napapikit na lamang saka sumubsob ang mukha sa maliit na balikat ng anak.Lalong sumikip ang dibdib ni B

Kabanata 31HALOS pigil ang hininga ni Bjourne habang isinasara ang pinto ng kanyang opisina. Nang lingunin niya si Elmont na nakatayo na sa harap ng malaking salaming bintana, sumikip nang todo ang kanyang dibdib. Paanong hindi niya man lang napansin? Is that why he felt so comfortable with Elmont? Is that why when he looked into his eyes that day he met him, he felt the need to take him in?Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga. "Is it true?"Kitang-kita niya kung papaanong nagtaas-baba ang mga balikat nito. "What if I am? Are you going to beat me up, send me to hell and tell me this is all my fault?" malamig nitong tanong na nagdala ng kakaibang kirot sa puso ni Bjourne.He clenched his jaw and rubbed his palm on his face. Namayani ang damdamin ng isang ama sa kanya. Lumambot ang kanyang ekspresyon at gumuhit ang basag na ngiti sa kanyang mga labi."If you're really Abel, how dare you think that way
