LOGINRiver always thought she was a normally, if slightly more intelligent girl. After her mother dies, she has to deal with things herself as her father is heartbroken. When he informs her of his new wife and daughter just 16 months after her mother’s death, she finds this hard to believe. She meets a charismatic man and the meeting changes her life. McKenzie after meeting his mate, has a hard time believing that she is so young. Also, that she doesn’t seem to know what she is. They learn to trust each other and love each other. Once her father dies, they learn why they never told her what she really is. They also learn that there is another threat out there and they work together to stop them. Both River and McKenzie have to learn to trust each other and lean on each other.
View MoreNakatulala ako sa kawalan, nag-iisip kung anong pweding iregalo sa boyfriend ko sa nalalapit naming dalawang taon na anibersaryo nang, “Ang lalim ng iniisip natin best,” biglang sumulpot ang matalik kong kaibigan sa harap ko, si Nica.
Tinignan ko siya, nag-babaksakaling may sagot sa mukha niya pero napabuntong hininga ako ng wala akong nakuhang sagot.
“Ano bang iniisip mo best at kanina ka pa nakatulala diyan?” tanong niya. “…baka makatulong ako,” dagdag pa niya at hinila ang upuan na bakante para doon maupo.
“Second anniversary kasi namin ni Troy next week best at hindi ko alam ang pweding iregalo sa kaniya,” malungkot kong turan at humalumbaba sa table ko para magsimula mag-isip ulit.
“Iyon lang ba? bakit hindi ka nagtanong sa akin alam mong expert ako sa mga ganiyan. Haynaku, kanina ka pa nag-iisip dyan,” taas noong sabi niya.
Napatingin naman ako sa gawi niya habang nakahalumbaba at naghihintay ng susunod niyang sasabihin.
“Ano nga bang magandang regalo kay TJ?” tanong niya sa sarili niya. TJ ang tawag niya kay Troy dahil bago pa maging kami ni TJ ay magkakaibigan kaming tatlo nina Nica.
Bumagsak naman ang balikat ko. Akala ko may matinong sagot na siya.
“Bakit hindi kayo sa ibang lugar magcelebrate, sa Hilton best maganda doon. Mahal nga lang pero kung para kay TJ naman, why not diba,” sabi niya habang nakaupo parin sa tabi ko at may malawak na ngiti.
Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya, minsan ko lang bigyan ng regalo si Troy why not nga naman dba. Umayos ako ng upo at hinarap ang kaibigan ko, “How much?” tanong ko.
At nang sabihin niya ang presyo, parang biglang sumakit ang ulo ko.
“Hey babe, here,” abot ko sa boyfriend ko ng magkita kami dito sa labas ng pinagtratrabahuan ko. Gabi-gabi niya kasi akong sinusundo galing sa trabaho.
“What’s this?” nag-tatakang tanong niya habang binubuksan ito.
Hindi ko siya sinagot. Ngumiti lang ako sa kaniya, hinihintay na ilabas niya ang laman ng envelope na inabot ko sa kaniya. Nakita kong nag-ningning ang mata niya ng makita ang laman nito. Sa tuwa niya’y niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit at hinalikan pa ako sa noo.
“Thank you, babe. How did you know that I want to go here especially with you?” masayang tanong Niya.
Ngumiti lang ako sa kaniya dahil hindi ko naman alam na gusto niyang puntahan ang Hilton. Sasabihin ko sanang sinuggest lang ni Nica ang lugar na iyon sa akin pero hindi ko nalang sinabi, ayukong mawala ang ngiti mula sa kaniyang labi.
“We're thinking the same things, babe,” masayang ani ko.
Muli ay niyakap niya ako at ginawaran niya ang aking labi ng mabilis na halik.
2nd day at Hilton
Nagising ako ng maramdaman kong may yumakap sa akin, nanatili akong nakapikit in-enjoy ang yakap ng kasintahan ko at isa pa ay napagod ako sa ginawa namin kagabi. Napakagat ako sa labi ng maalala ang nangyari kagabi. Para akong tanga sa ginagawa ko ngayon, nakakagat sa labi habang nakapikit.
Napakahirap ng gabing iyon, masakit pa rin ang buong katawan ko. Ngunit wala akong dapat pagsisihan na ibinigay ko ang aking sarili sa tamang tao at lalo na sa lalaking mahal ko.
Sa dalawang taon naming magkasintahan, hindi ko hinayaang hawakan niya ako, dahil gusto kong mapanatili ang aking virginity para sa makabuluhang kaganapang ito. At iyon ay kahapon, ang araw ng aming dalawang taong anibersaryo. I made the decision na siya na ang tamang tao para makasama ko habang buhay.
Ayuko pang imulat ang mata ko, gusto ko pang matulog sa mga bisig niya dahil wala naman akong trabaho ngayong araw. Nag-leave ako sa trabaho ko ng isang lingo dahil sa sinunod ko ang payo ni Nica
Nag-book ako ng suit dito sa Hilton na nag-kakahalaga ng isang buwang suweldo ko, isa sa regalo ko kay Troy dahil gusto kong bumawi sa kaniya at sulit naman ito dahil sobrang nag-enjoy kami sa unang gabi namin.
Hindi nawawala ang ngiti sa labi ko. Dahan-dahan kong hinawakan ang abs niya. Ganito ba talaga ang hubog ng katawan niya? Dahil sa dalawang taon namin ay hindi pa namin nakikita o nahahawakan ang mga maseselang parte ng katawan ng isat isa, kagabi lang ang unang pagkakataon. Ganito ba talaga kaganda ang katawan niya?
Maingat kong inilakbay ang kamay ko sa kabuoan ng katawan niya habang nakapikit at dinadama ito. Napatigil ako ng magsalita siya. "Oh, you woke up, Pia," sabi niya habang hinahaplos ang aking buhok, "It must be a tiring night for you," dugtong pa niya.
“Not at all, Troy, I enjoy it very much… Wait who the heck is Pia?” biglang bawi ko sa sinabi ko.
Minulat ko ang aking mata at nakakita ako ng ibang mukha, hindi ang mukha ng lalaking mahal ko. Gwapo siya, pero hindi pamilyar sa akin ang mukha niya. Nagsimula akong sumigaw: "Who the hell are you?!"
Puno rin ng pagtataka ang mukha ng lalaki nang magmulat ito dahil nagulat sa pagsigaw ko.
Pilit kong kinakalkal sa isip ko kung anong nangyari kagabi, pero sumakit lang ang ulo ko kakaisip dahil wala akong maalala.
Kung ang lalaking ito ang nakasama ko buong magdamag nasaan si Troy? Bakit hindi siya ang kasama ko ngayon? Anong nangyari kagabi?
Sunod-sunod na tanong ko sa sarili ko, pero wala akong nakuhang sagot.
Ibig sabihin hindi si Troy ang nakasiping ko kagabi, hindi si Troy ang pinagbigyan ko ng pakaingat-ingatan ko. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang kumot na nakabalot sa akin, gusto kong umiyak pero hindi ko magawa masyadong okupado ang isip ko sa mga nangyari.
Napatingin ako sa gawi ng lalaking nakasiping ko kagabi ng tumayo siya, inalis ko agad ang tingin sa kaniya nang makita kong wala siyang saplot. Pinikit ko na lang ang mata ko dahil nag-lakad-lakad siya sa harap kong hubot h***d at isa-isang pinulot ang mga damit niyang nagkalat sa sahig at sinuot ang mga ito.
Muli, pinilit kong inisip ang nangyari kagabi pero wala, hindi ko maalala.
“Here,” ani niyang nag-pamulat sa akin. Nakita ko naman ang tsekeng hawak niya at pilit na inaabot ito sa akin.
“I'll pay you $5 million to stay quiet about what happened last night; another cheap woman approached me for money last night, huh?”
Wala sa sariling inabot ko ang tsekeng hawak niya. Tumulo ang isang butil ng luha mula sa mata ko.
Once everyone is back and reassured the threat to their pack has gone. McKenzie tells them they will be having a cook out. “We are pleased to inform everyone that my mate is pregnant” McKenzie tells everyone having left the pack link open, so the people not there could also hear him. The mood of the pack instantly becomes much merrier. They all start to congratulate them. Both personally and over the link.They celebrate until long after the sun has gone down. There is music, dancing and much laughter, as the youngest run around and play with one another. McKenzie and River feel the happiness of the pack through the link. Which brings them much relief and happiness also.When they go back to their home in the early hours of the morning. McKenzie makes love to his mate very slowly. Showing her just how much she means to him. He becomes excited when he too feels the baby move. He has tears of joy in his eyes as he joins with his mate and brings them to completion. “I love y
McKenzie puts her down on a chair in the kitchen and then goes to the oven and takes out the stew. “How did you know the high council were going to turn up?” he asks her as he sits down beside her. “I got an image of three men in cloaks looking annoyed. They were outside the pack house. I asked Tom if he knew of any people that wore cloaks and he said the high council” River explains“High council on official business. I guess they heard of what happened to Dan’s coven. Well, we’ll deal with it when they turn up” McKenzie says rubbing her back for comfort. River looks at him and smiles “I thought once we dealt with the witches. We would be able to enjoy our life and I’d be able to sit down and think about, this little one we made. Now we have to deal with the high council! I can tell you Realm and I are a thin thread away from losing our shit!” River admits and McKenzie see’s Realm, flash into River’s eyes. Telling him that she will not allow anyone, even the high council to
McKenzie holds his sleeping mate. Really not wanting to leave her. But if he is leave here without being caught, he must. He kisses her head and goes to move his arms from around her. River wakes up, turns and looks at him sleepily.“Sorry love, I really need to go” he apologises. “Thank you, for staying with me. It is going to be a long day. I’ll leave our link open. I think it’s best if we don’t actually, see each other until after its all over. I hope it’ll be all over” River says. He kisses her and then gets up out the bed. “Go back to sleep love, it’s still early” he tells her.She watches him, pull on his clothes and then he comes and kisses her again before leaving. She tries to go back off to sleep again. She hugs McKenzie’s pillow to her face and breaths in his scent. It allows her to get another couple of hours sleep. Then it’s time for her to get up and put her game face back on.“Love, Dan’s wife has spent the night drinking and it drunkenly casting spells a
They wake in the morning, with a new sense of urgency and determination that they should end this as soon as they can. McKenzie calls Tom, Greg, and some of the other key pack members to their house. River is making breakfast. She started with sausages, then thought eggs would be nice. Started making toast and then also harsh browns in the end everyone had a full English breakfast with a plate of pancakes on the side.As they sit and eat around the table. McKenzie explains River’s plan. She doesn’t say much just concentrates on eating. “Greg, are you going to eat that sausage?” she asks “er” “thanks” River says taking it from his plate and biting half of it and then eating the rest. Greg looks at McKenzie who gives him one of his sausages, shaking his head to not say anything.“Are none of you having the pancakes?” she asks standing and getting the Nutella from the cupboard. They watch as she spreads it thickly onto a pancake and then pours syrup over it before rolling it and
