“I’M SORRY, SIR. The madam specifically instructed that no one should come in her office. She is in the middle of a meeting right now and cannot be bothered to entertain guests.”“I’m not just any guest! I’m her son, for crying out loud! This is my third time coming back here. And you’re saying she’s still in that meeting? Who are you trying to fool?” I shot back at my mother’s secretary. She recoiled. Felix had been trying to stop me but since he couldn’t give me the answer I needed, I went straight to my mother’s clothing company but her secretary and the guards stopped me from barging in her office.I’d never been denied access to this place before. In fact, it was Mom who would always ask me to pay her a visit. But so much had changed in just a span of three days.The more we play hide and seek, the more agitated I become. I’d been having a hard time controlling my emotions these days. It happened the second I heard Alexandra was marrying Luther. Since then, I felt like something

KENJI had always known that Beatrix was a werewolf. He was a human born with a special gift. He could identify the shapeshifters even in the middle of a bustling crowd. And that ability of his had been useful to us for a long time.Kenji’s ability had never failed him until he saw Giovanni in person five years ago and told me that my cousin was a werewolf, too, which of course, was very unlikely to happen. That was the best joke I’d heard, one that still makes me laugh until this very day.Giovanni as a wolf? Man, I just couldn’t picture it. He was considered the saint in the family, the VP’s ultimate pride and joy. If he were to suddenly shapeshift, it’d just mean one thing: the world was about to end.Besides, his own father would have been the first to know it and the first to take him down. Mason may act friendly towards the wolves, but just like Duncan, he couldn’t stomach having one in his own mansion. The VP is capable of killing, everyone in this town is.The humans were so af

(Luther)I DELIBERATELY walked away as slowly as I could because I wanted Alexandra to call me. I wanted her to stop me from walking away because once I get out of these woods, once I leave her here with Giovanni, I feel like we’ll only drift further away from each other.Here I was, thinking we could somehow work things out since she was starting to talk and open up to me. But this happened.In the end, my expectations had hurt me again. I never really learned.My parents were the living proof that falling in love was a terrible thing. And yet, even while knowing that, I still fell in love with Alexandra. I only realized it when I saw her embracing another man. I think I’d been in love with her from the first time I saw her and that feeling must have grown more as I watched her from afar all these crazy years.Maybe I first fell in love with her bravery. No one was ever that brave around me. When I saw her again in Manila, I fell in love with her determination, with her guts.Then I

(Alexandra)“IF YOU join the Crimson Moon pack, we will help you out. If you were to join the Silverstone pack, your father’s previous pack, then it’s okay. We will send you to them. I know them. They are nice people. They will accept you and be glad to welcome you once they find out who your father is. The choice is yours, Giovanni. But let me tell you this: choosing wolves meant that you will belong to us from now on. Your loyalty will solely be to the pack and not to the humans,” Alpha Calypso told Giovanni after the latter told us his situation.Giovanni’s condition seemed better this morning. But he will still need training. Lots of it. Based on his story, he was not a true Sinclair. And he had only found out about it yesterday through Davina, his mother. Davina fell in love with a wolf and it was Alpha Bernard from the Silverstone pack. He was my father’s friend.And because their love for each other was forbidden, Davina and Bernard had a secret relationship. But then Mason spo

(Alexandra)“THAT woman you’ve been glaring at is Michelle Villar, twenty-seven years old. She was last year’s Miss Universe first runner-up and currently works as a runway model in the States. She’s your husband’s ex-girlfriend and among his ‘tremendously famous’ exes, she’s the one who got to be with him for more than a year. I heard that was his longest relationship ever. She was currently having a vacation here and unlike someone I know, when she learned about Luther’s situation, she rushed to his side that there were some people who thought she was his wife.”“I’m not glaring at her, Beatrix. I’m only looking at her face. And so what if she’s famous? I know my worth, Beatrix. You can’t put me down just like that.”She giggled. “Then why are you pouting?”“I just think that the reason why people mistook her was because she doesn’t know her place. That woman is not the real wife but look at her, acting like a snake as she wraps her arm around Luther’s arm,” I answered while my eyes
