After that, Jirou took off without saying another word. Sure, he said a lot of awful things to me at the end but part of me couldn’t hate him fully. They were mean, hurtful words but I knew that he was bluffing. When I used him to lash out my emotions and forget my unrequited love for Kicchan, I could feel his warmth. He didn’t say anything but he held me so tight through all those nights and made me feel loved; at least he did try. But things were different now. In the end, we both knew that this kind of relationship was fruitless. We would just end up hurting each other. This made me realize that Jirou was indeed in love with me all along. How could I not notice? He was the only Alpha who stayed by my side when I decided to cut ties with the others. The hate he was feeling now was because I wasn’t able to see through his true feelings. I did the same thing as Kicchan — only I took a person for granted. “I’m sorry, Jirou,” I whispered to myself and clenched my fists.
KAZUKI [Special POV] “SHIMADA-SA~N! Ayaw na ni Izumi-sensei sa ‘kin! Uwaaah~!” bumubulahaw na iyak ni Hanamichi-kun sa harap ng couch namin habang nakaluhod ito. “So… Why me?” I asked in confusion. I was surprised myself when Hanamichi-kun showed up at our house earlier. I had no idea how he knew our address but what’s more surprising was that when he told me that Aki fired him. Hanamichi-kun sniffed and tried to wipe off his tears, the pain and regret was written all over his face. “Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin, Shimada-san. Ikaw lang ang alam kong pwedeng lapitan,” he said and bawled like a child again. “It’s ‘Okuda-san’ (my new surname), Hanamichi-kun. But you can call me ‘Kazuki-san’ if you want,” pagtatama ko sa kanya bago bumuntong-hininga. “Did he tell you his reasons?” I asked calmly. Hanamichi-kun shook his head sideways several times and then went on crying. I knew Aki could be really childish sometimes but to actually fire his sole secretary an
AKI I AM still baffled by the fact that I became pregnant. I mean… I wasn’t expecting it at all! Since the day we knew that I was growing another being inside my belly, Chihiro decided to take me to his place — to keep watch on me and make sure that I would not get stressed again. Muntik akong makunan noong isinugod nila ako sa ospital nitong nakaraang linggo. Part of it was because of the early pregnancy symptoms I was experiencing and the majority was due to lack of sleep and stress that I went through because Chihiro and I had a big fight. Thinking back, I didn’t become pregnant when we first had sex and he was in heat that time but why for the second time? “Sensei, pasok ka. Maupo ka muna, ha? Ipaghahanda kita ng makakain at maiinom,” Chihiro offered with such care, even holding my hand to assist me. [Nabuntis lang ako, hindi napilay,] I sighed to that sarcastic thought just now. I knew I’m an irate person but these past few days, my irritability became m
AKI IT’S BEEN now a week since Chihiro and I started living with his parents. Sa edad naming ito, nakakahiya at hindi ko maipaliwanag ang pagkabalisa ko. Maraming maaaring mangyari. Alam kong nag-aalala lang naman sila sa kalagayan ko at mas marami na silang napagdaanan na problema pagdating sa pagkakaroon ng mate at anak pero hindi ko maiwasang maasiwa sa tuwing kausap ko si Hiromi-san. Bilang isang kapwa Alpha, I could still feel his reluctance towards me and my feelings for his son. Well… he should be. I haven’t even admitted what I really felt towards Chihiro and what’s worst is that we’re now expecting a child. “Pasensiya ka na talaga kay Hiromi, Izumi-san,” biglang paumanhin sa akin ni Chidori-san nang mapuna nito na mukhang malalim ang iniisip ko. Nakita niya akong nakatulala habang nakaupo sa sofa ng kanilang sala. Kasalukuyang nasa labas si Chihiro at inaasikaso ang mini garden ng kanyang ina. Napansin ko rin na naging madalas ang pag-aalala sa akin ni C
[What the hell am I saying?]“Eh?” “Stop touching it,” I demanded na may halong galit sa boses ko. But the truth was I wanted him to keep touching it and sweet talk to me like this. “Aki-san, may masakit ba sa ‘yo?” he slightly panicked and stopped hugging me and tried to make me face him. [Just stop talking and—] “…kiss me already,” I muttered. “Huh?” The idiotic giant tilted his head to the side, not sure what I was trying to say. “Why are you so dumb? I really hate that part of you,” I said in irritation and grabbed-hold the back of his neck. “Come here,” I uttered and pulled him towards me, making our lips touch. Chihiro was surprised but he responded to my kiss still with care and tried not to put his weight against me. Me, on the other hand, wrapped my arms around his neck to prevent him from letting go. “…san,” he breathed between our kisses and looked at me in the eyes with such passion. “Okay lang ba?” I chuckled. How cute. “Just shut
AKI JUST when I was about to go out with Chihiro today, I got an unexpected call from a person whom I’m very familiar with. “H-hello?” I answered in a very hesitant and shivering voice. “Aki? Aki, is that you?” The voice from the other line asked. It belonged to a woman’s. “I’ve been trying to contact you for a while now but I can’t seem to reach. How are you doing?” [Ah. I should be delighted that she sounded worried but why am I having a mental breakdown right now?] I thought to myself while trying to hide my uneasiness. “I…” I uttered and subconsciously glanced at Chihiro that was patiently waiting for me to finish my call. “I’m fine… mom.” Just calling her ‘mom’ almost made me want to vomit. I couldn’t take any more of this conversation. My parents don’t usually contact me like this unless they wanted to demand something for me. “Good. Your father and I have already talked about some important matters. Aki… it’s about time—” The next words she spo
“Kicchan is not a slut!” I finally snapped. Lahat sila ay napatingin sa gawi ko. “And he was a first born! It was his parents that failed to notice that their son was not an Alpha and neglected him after knowing the truth!” sigaw ko sa kanila. “Aki-san,” Chihiro called out to me and tried to calm me down. “Pinapunta niyo lang ba ako dito para marinig ang mga pang-iinsulto niyo sa ibang tao?!” buska ko sa aking mga magulang. They didn’t even falter by how I acted. “Wala kayong alam kung ano ang pinagdaanan ni Kicchan bago niya nahanap ang Alpha na nakatadhana para sa kanya. Madaling sabihin na isa lamang siyang Omega dahil wala kayo sa posisyon niya! Kahit kailan, hindi naging mababa ang tingin ko sa kanya dahil lamang sa hindi kami parehong Alpha. Kung tutuusin, mas lalo akong humanga sa kanya noong lumaban siya hanggang sa huli! Wala kayong karapatan na pagsalitaan ng masama si Kicchan!” I bursted into tears. [Ah. Come to think it, I think I haven’t told Chihiro yet
AKI “WHAT’S the meaning of this, Chihiro?” kaagad kong tanong sa kanya nang makarating na kami sa sinabi nito na pupuntahan namin. It was supposed to be right after we encountered my parents pero kinabukasan ay wala akong ganang gumawa ng kahit ano kaya hinayaan muna ako ni Chihiro. “Mamamasyal tayo, Aki-san!” nakangiting sagot naman ng baliw. “And why is Kicchan here also?” I asked with a disturbed facial expression. “Ako ang nag-imbita sa kanya!” masayang sagot ni Chihiro. “How have you been, Aki?” asked Kicchan with a smile. He was carrying baby Yuuki with him. “Goo~” Yuuki uttered and reached out his hand as if he’s waving hello to me. “Hindi ka ba masaya, Aki-san?” nagsimulang mag-alala si Chihiro nang makita na hindi napawi ang tila pagkainis ko. “No, it’s not like that but…” I said and looked at the person that was standing right next to Kicchan. “Why am I also here?” It was Okuda who finally said what I wanted to say. “Exactly!” I
