MasukWhen I was a kid my entire family committed suicide. Weird, I know. Unfortunately, they thought themselves as unfit to live and ended their life. They had gotten themselves stuck in something deep and dark with a couple of the demons around our neighborhood and their contract was coming due. So at the age of only 13, I was left to fend for myself and survive in a world full of werewolves and demons. ~ I am Lisa Summers and my family was once one of the most powerful werewolf packs in North America. That is, however, only because of a contract made by a demon. After their deaths, the pack diminished to almost nothing. The spell cast upon the pack members had been lifted and they saw no reason to stick around. I was left with no one to support me and I was f****d to find my own way through life. My title as the Alpha's daughter slowly slipped back to Omega in a matter of hours. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I was a freak in their eyes. They were embarrassed of me, I humiliated them. I was supposed to be strong and lead the pack when her parents couldn't and I wasn't able to. I was an Omega at heart. I always had been, no matter the spell the demon put on everyone. I was an Omega and they were finally beginning to see that. I was weak, pathetic, unloved, and an outcast. Everyone despised me. People who I thought of as family members disowned me. For the first time in my life I was completely and utterly alone. Until I met him. He is the one for me . Only him.

Sa likod ng maalikabok na bintana ay namamataan ko ang isang lalaking nakaputing toga. Hindi toga sa graduation kundi patient gown ng isang mental ospital.
Nakasampa siya sa kama at nakatitig lang sa kawalan. Tanging siya ang nasa kwarto at mukhang naghihintay sa doktor.
Nananatiling nakatali ang kurtina kung kaya hindi naging mahirap para sa akin ang pagsilip. Tila isang opisina ang nasa loob ng kwarto.
May mesa na bunton-bunton ng maraming libro ngunit iyon lamang ang napansin ko maliban sa isang malalim at nakaaawang boses.
"Shanta..." nanginginig na bulong ng lalaki. "Shanta! Shanta! Why can't you be here?"
Isang ngalan ang paulit-ulit niyang binabanggit. Nanaisin ko mang magpakita ay hindi ako basta-basta puwedeng magbasag ng bintana para lang makapasok.
Katahimikan.
Iyan ang nais kong mangyari dahil kung walang katahimikan, madali akong mahuhuli.
Hindi lang 'yon dahil kahit saang anggulo tingnan ay nakasuot ako ng itim na sombrero, panyong nakapulapot sa pisngi ko, at salamin na itinatago ang lihim sa mga mata ko.
"Shanta... I am sure, it was you! Ikaw 'yon. What they're saying is impossible. You're alive!" nanlulumong sambit niya na ikinarindi ng tainga ko.
Kahit pa na sarado ang bintana ay nakalapat ang tainga ko sa jalousie, sapat para mapakinggan ang kanyang boses.
Sa itinatagal ng panahon ay ngayon pa dumating ang araw na ito.
Ang araw na sa tanging isip niya lamang ako naaalala, nahahagkan, ngunit sa totoo ay hindi na ako.
Burado na ako sa mundo at sa alaala ng mga taong minsan ay naging parte ng buhay ko.
"Kage..." bulong ko.
Nais ko siyang lapitan at ikulong sa mga bisig ko. Nais kong iparamdam sa kanya ang maiinit na haplos. Iyong mga haplos na dati ay nakapagtatahan sa pagwawala ko.
Makita ko pa lang ang pagtakip niya ng tainga ay nangingilid na ang luha ko sapagkat ngayong nagwawala siya ay wala rin ang mga haplos ko.
Nanlulumong napasandal ako sa matigas na bato at isang malakas na bugso ng hangin ang umukit sa aking balat.
Umulan ng mga dahon at tila nagtatago ang araw sa likod ng maiitim na ulap. Sa malayong bakod ay nakakandado ang itim na gate, isang tarangkahan para sa mga nakakulong sa kanilang mga isip.
Nakabaligtad ang mga letrang nakakapit sa taas, binubuo ang ngalan ng ospital.
ERAC LATNEM EGDILOOC
At dahil nakatayo ako sa paloob nito, isa na rin akong pasyenteng nasisiraan ng bait. Bagaman hindi literal na inaalagaan ako ng ospital, isa lamang akong buhay na patay.
Nakapanhihindik-balahibong balikan ang mga pangyayari sa pasilidad na ito at napakapamilyar pa rin ang amoy ng ospital.
Bumaling ako sa aking likuran at napagmasdan kong nakaupo na muli si Kagan.
Sa oras na ito, kalmado na siya, wala nang ingay na maririnig, kung kaya walang alinlangan na kumatok ako sa bintana.
"Kagan..." tawag-pansin ko at nilibot niya ang kanyang paningin bago pa nahanap ang pinangalingan ng tunog.
Sa pagkakataon na ibinigay ng langit, mabilis na nagtagpo ang mga mata namin. Mga titig na sa haba ng panahong pinagkaitan ay muling nagkasama rin.
Ito na at malapit ko na siyang mahawakan. Ang mainit niyang palad sa mga pisngi ko at ang malaki niyang katawan na kumukulong sa maninipis kong braso.
"Shanta..." hindi makapaniwalang sambit niya at mabilis siyang napatayo. "You came back?"
Masayang tumango ako at pumorma ang ngiti sa labi niya.
Panandaliang nawala ang takot sa mga mata nito at sa oras na buksan niya ang bintana ay naramdaman naming dalawa ang kasariwaan ng hangin.
Sa kahit anong sitwasyon, babalik ako.
Sumampa ako sa paanan ng bintana at napakapit sa matitigas niyang balikat. "Shanta..." ulit niya.
Tinanggal niya ang aking sombrero saka marahang kinalas ang panyo. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko nang dumapo ang kanyang tingin sa labi ko.
"Kage..."
"I was so worried sick when you left me on the island," aniya at hinawakan ang pisngi ko.
Hindi na ako sumagot at diretso na lang siyang tinitigan. Halos maduling ako sa sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa ngunit hindi iyon naging sagabal sa aming dalawa.
Naaliw ako sa kagandahan ng kanyang awra. Nakakalambot ng puso ang mapupungay niyang mata at dahil sa katangusan ng ilong niya ay napasandal ang aking noo sa kanya.
Namutawi ang panandaliang katahimikan na agad namang napalitan ng mga ungol. Naramdaman ko ang kanyang labi at halos matumba ako sa bilis ng kanyang mga h***k.
"I miss you damn, damn much..." bulong ni Kage at tinugunan ko naman 'yon nang buong-buo.
Naramdaman ko ang kanyang dila at tila nawala ako nang panandalian sa mundong ito, na para bang nagkaroon ako ng mga pakpak at hinihigop ng kalangitan.
Parang isang paghahangad ang naging mensahe ng mga iyon.
Isang pananabik na mahagkan siyang muli sa kabila ng mahabang panahon.
Isang pag-aasam na manumbalik ang dating ngiti sa kanyang labi, at muling maangkin ang kanyang kabuoan.
Hindi ko na namalayan kung saan papatungo ang mga h***k niya at napatingala na lang ako sa mahina niyang pagsunggab sa leeg ko.
"Kage..."
Malikot niyang hinaplos ang bewang ko habang pinipigilan akong mahulog sa pagkakasampa ko sa bintana.
Sana siya na lang ang dungawan, para sa kanya na lang ako nakasampa.
Sa gitna ng kasiyahang nararamdaman naming dalawa ay dumarating rin ang lumbay. Tatlong beses na umugong ang katok mula sa pinto at sa isang iglap, naputol ang lahat ng koneksyon.
*Lisa's Point of View - 5 years later*"Push!" the doctor squeals, "Come on, Luna! One more push!"With one final grunt, a piercing cry springs around the room."He's here!" the doctor cheers, as I collapse back onto my back.Alex grasps my hand and sends me a huge grin. After cutting the umbilical cord, the doctor walks up to us and gently places the baby on my chest."It's a boy," she grins with a gleam in her eye.I look up at Alex, tears filling my eyes."We did it," he whispers, placing a small kiss onto my lips.I let out a small sigh of content, holding my boys closer."I love you," I murmur, watching as my baby opens his eyes and looks up at both me and Alex.Deep green eyes shine back at us, causing us to smile deeply. The little boys lips turn up at the corners, giving us a toothless grin. It melts my heart, knowing that he knows exactly who we are."I love you too, babe." Alex whispers back, scooting into the bed beside me and wrapping an arm around my waist.My smile widen
Lisa's POV:My mouth drops open in disbelief."Y-you're alive?" I stutter, tears already filling my eyes."Of course, we're alive." my father snaps, "Do you really think that we'd kill ourselves?""It looked like it," I gasp, "You drove off a fucking bridge."They both shrug, looking bored, "We had to make it look believable."Alex is silent through all of this. I had forgotten that he knew nothing of this. His eyes meet mine with a questioning glare.I sent him a look and he glances back down to the ground. I didn't want to speak of this to him to anyone. I was completely embarrassed. My own parents didn't love me enough to keep me."Why?" I mumble, looking over at them, "I want to hear from you, both of you. Why did you do this?""We were tired, Lisa." my father answers, "We didn't want to be Omega's anymore and you stood in the way of that. You would have never gone along with this deal willingly, so we took drastic measures.""That is the complete opposite of what you did!" I scre
Lisa's POV:"Abror?" Gina gasps, squealing slightly as she falls to the ground."Who the hell is Abror?" Alex spits, "Adam, come on man, you better not be playing any tricks.""I'm not your brother." Adam mocks, "And as I repeat, I haven't been your brother in quite a long time.""H-how is that possible?" I stutter, inching slowly towards Gina and Alex.Abror's eyes find mine and he cocks his head to the side, "Ahh, my sweet, sweet Lisa. Let me tell you the story.""She's not your anything!" Alex screeches, pulling on his chains once again.He growls lowly, but immediately stills. It is almost as if he had forgotten that I felt his pain, as he stops pulling against the chains and looks at me.Adam does nothing, but snicker and continues, "Where shall I begin? Ahh, well his birth is as good as ever I suppose. Your parents were my enemy. My father, who had the throne before me, pinpointed your parents as an ultimate threat. I'm sure you heard about the battle of the Kings, but I'll expl
Lisa's POV:Panic strikes my core as I watch Alex's head lull to the side. I knew he wasn't dead, but it wouldn't be long before he was."Why are you doing this!" I screech, pulling against the invisible restraints."I told you before, Lisa." The demon bellows, "I have my orders and I must abide by them. I was ordered to kill the threat and here I am, killing the threat."She snickers as she turns towards Alex. A scream leaves my lips as she tightens the chains around him and a cry of pain leaves his lips unconsciously. It feels that my heart is torn in two. If your mate is harmed it feels as if someone has driven a stake through your body."The King is almost here, Lisa." The demon grins, spinning on her heel."I don't care about the King!" I scream, "I care about Alex.""Mm," she hums, "Then we'll just have to destroy him then."My eyes begin to sting and I push myself to use my powers."No, no, no." Katherine grins, wagging her finger.The stinging pain in my chest is apparent now
Lisa's POV:"K-Katherine?" I stutter, coming to the realization that this woman did not know the tragic news of her daughter's passing."Where the hell is she? What have you done to her?!" she screeches.Alex cocks his head to the side and steps forward threateningly.Maneuvering my body in front o
Lisa's POV:I never knew it was possible to have such powerful feelings towards someone that was not my mate. I didn't love him, far from it actually, but I held a certain corner of my heart for Alex's family. They were my family too after all. The only family that I actually did have. So of course
Lisa's POV:"What about the body, Lisa?" Alex hisses as we exit the house through the sliding glass door."Get somebody else to do it." I shrug, turning towards the pool.The familiar prick hits my eyes as I see all of the women in the pool wearing, what has to be, the skimpiest bikinis that they c
Lisa's POV:"What the hell did you do?" Alex spits."W-what?" I stutter, backing away slightly."What the hell did you do to my daughter?" he growls his eyes turning dark."I-I don't k-know what you're t-talking about..." I trail off, stumbling backwards.Alex's eyes darken to soulless pits that se
