Kang Sae-byeok Number

"Wala kang pagpipilian kundi tanggapin ang alok ko, Estelle," sabi ni Raziel na namumula ang mga mata. Ang tanging hangad lang ni Lady Vienna ay makasama ang lalaking bida ng kuwento. Hanggang sa lumitaw ang isang salamangkero at inabot sa kanya ang isang libro isang araw. Ang libro pala ay naglalaman ng daloy ng kanyang buhay! Ipinagpalagay pa nga niya na siya ang pangunahing babae, ngunit siya ang kontrabida sa kuwento! Nang malaman niyang papatayin siya ng kontrabida, si Duke Raziel, sa edad na 22, ginagawa niya ang lahat para maiwasan ito! Lumapit siya sa kontrabida at nalaman ang sikreto nito, na naging dahilan upang imungkahi niya sa kanya ang isang kontrata ng kasal kapag natuklasan niya ang katotohanan tungkol sa aktwal na katangian ng lalaking lead. Sa karamihan ng mga kuwento, ang mga kontrabida ay pinapatay, ang lalaki at babae ay nagpakasal, at sila ay nabubuhay nang maligaya magpakailanman; gayunpaman, tinututulan ni Lady Vienna "Estelle" Thaleia Xaviera ang pattern na ito. It’s up to Vienna na pigilan ang mga pagkalason, pagbabanta sa kamatayan, pagkakanulo, at pagpatay na mangyari bilang resulta ng aklat. "Mas mabuting magmahal ng kontrabida dahil alam naming gagawin niya ang lahat para sa iyo. Ang bida, sa kabilang banda, ay handang isuko ang iyong buhay para sa ikabubuti ng lahat.”

((( Julius POV’s )))Napabangon ako dahil sa bungangang yun. Tinignan ko yung babae.“Huwag kang lalapit sa akin!” Bigla akong ngumit at natawa sa sarili ko. Kung gano'n ang babaeng 'to ay walang iba kundi si Janine.“Seems I have a “good” Morning. Good morning Janine.”Bigla akong pinaghahampas ng unan ni Janine. Ewan parang ang saya eh. Nakalapit ako sa kanya. Pinigilan ko ang kamay niya saka hinila ko siya palapit sa akin.“Bitiwan mo ako Julius!” Hinalikan ko siya sa noo. Natigilan siya sa kakapalag.“Now, your mine.” Saka ko siya hinalikan sa labi.Bakas sa mukha niya ang pagkagulat. Kaya bigla niya akong sinampal. Ngumiti lang ako bilang tugon...“I know. I deserve it.” At muli ko siyang hinalikan.“Julius! Gumising ka nga!” At pinagsasampal ako ni Janine, magkabilaang pisngi. Pinigilan ko ang kamay niya.“Gising na gising ako. Gusto mo pa?” Pak!Aww...yun ang masakit.“Di ako nakikipaglokohan sa'yo!” Ngumiti ako.“Sa tingin mo niloloko kita?”“Ahhhh....hmmm..” Hinalikan ko eh.At bago ako bumangon, hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi. Natulala siya.Bumangon na ako. Tinali ko ang robe ko at kinindatan siya bago ako pumunta ng banyo.Nang makapasok ako, narinig ko ang pagsisigaw ni Janine.Nakita ko naman ang refleksyon ko sa salamin. Ngiting-ngiti na napapailing. Naghilamos ako. Iniisip ko kung sino sa dalawang ama-amahan ko ang gumawa nito.

On the day that I returned to the country, Lola Lawson, the one who was once the love of my life for ten years, sent me a picture of a baby. She told me to think of a name and meet her at the city hall to register the baby, as she had prepared a welcome-home gift for me. So, I rushed over with bags full of baby supplies. But when I arrived, she and her girlfriends were bent over with ridicule and laughter. "I told you! Even though he was gone for a year, he's still a loyal lapdog! Just a wave of my hand and he'd even be willing to raise someone else's kid for me!" She sized me up with mocking amusement. "Kevin Sheraton. How could you still be this naive? Just one joke and you come running?" They laughed without any restraint, calling me names and hurling insults, saying I'd do anything for Lola. But when I walked past them and took a number to register my own child's birth, and later wrapped my arm around my wife as the three of us took a family portrait, Lola's eyes were completely reddened with tears.

"Hi, yes you aren't dreaming, it's the chubby Kelly," I say inwardly as I see the unhappy face expression of Jason who is disheartened. The guests laugh at us. They call our couple all sort of names. "The prince charming and the pancakes' eater Kelly" is one I can sadly remember." "I, Jason Bentley of the South pack, reject you Kelly Thompson as my mate and the Luna Queen," he declared fiercely. *** Kelly Thompson, an eighteen-year-old curvaceous and wolfless she-wolf, has been quietly admiring Jason Bentley, the heir apparent to the throne of the dominant South pack, for a number of years. Unfortunately for Kelly, she doesn't get the same attention in return from Alpha heir Jason, as the handsome daughter of his old father's Gammas, Betty Nord, is already the love of the pack's future Alpha. But, the plump Kelly has an advantage over the skinny Betty because of a strong vow made by Jason's father, the Alpha King Don Bentley, that his son will marry the daughter of his Betas who gave their lives two years ago in a fight against the North pack's fiercest adversaries in order to preserve the life of the Alpha heir. But clearly, nothing goes as smoothly as Kelly imagines.
