Kung Makikita Mo Si Gabriel

I always knew that I had to rule. It was written in my blood, as well as my father’s. And my great grandfather. For centuries, my family has been responsible for the monarchy of vampires. Our powers allowed us to drink human blood and then eliminate that memory. In fact, at the time of biting them, we could see some memories of that human. The most relevant of their life. Humans would only wake up the next day in their bed, with a mosquito bite on their neck, not remembering and without even suspecting anything. Although of course, exceptions existed. Wolves had their mates, the sorcerers their connections, and even the sirens had their other half. We were not different, not at all. For each existing vampire, there was a special blood. The donor with only a drop of blood that could keep us active and strong for weeks. In most cases, those people became a couple of vampires. However, not in my family. The lineage should remain pure, so even if I managed to find my donor, as we used to call them, I could only keep it as a lover. Did I want to be a monarch vampire? Of course not. Did I have another option? Of course not. I should not worry about getting my donor, because the statistics of finding them were so small, that even some vampires believed that it was a myth. The only way to find that special blood was drinking from it. And it was impossible to try the blood of all the humans of the world. So many didn’t bother looking for it. Me included. However, I did not expect to meet her in a somewhat peculiar situation.

“Oh my… ang aking Kapitan! Mabuti naman naalala mo ako! Hmp malapit ng magtampo sa’yo si Lola. Ilan taon na din ang nakalipas.” Sabi ni lola ng may pagtatampo sa kaniyang tinig. “Magagawa ba naman kitang tiisin, ikaw ata ang pinaka-mamahal kong Lola!” nakangiti kong sagot kay Lola sabay yakap sa kaniya. Habang masaya akong bumabati kay Lola ay isang pigura ng babaeng nakatalikod ang unti-unting tumayo at nakangiting humarap sa amin. Si Yvette. Hindi ko inaasahan na dadating siya ngayong araw. Nakangiti siya pero makikita sa kaniyang mata ang kakaibang lungkot, isang damdamin na kahit anong tago ang gawin ay hindi niya maitatanggi. Si Yvette ang dati kong karelasyon at muntik ko ng mahalin matapos kong aliwin ang aking sarili ng malaman kong naging boyfriend ni Karmela si Andrew. Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ko siya. Wala naman akong pakielam sa kaniya pero knowing Yvette? Paniguradong gagawa siya ng eksena at ayokong matakot si Karmela dahil sa kaniya. Lumapit siya sa akin at nag beso. Nakangiti niya akong binati ngunit may halong pait sa kaniyang boses “My Captain Xian Herrera… its nice to see you again. Ang tagal na din ng huli nating pagkikila” may panunuya siyang tumingin kay Karmela at mapait ng ngumiti sa kaniya “siya ba? Siya ba ang dahilan kung bakit hindi mo ako sinuyo? Kaya naman pala bigla kang nawala sa picture. May bago ka na palang pinagkaka-abalahan!” Nang marinig ko ang sinabing iyon ni Yvette ay alam kong hindi lang iyon simpleng pagpuna. Naramdaman ko sa kaniyang boses ang matinding hinanakit. Kinapitan ko ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Karmela at tinignan siya na parang sinasabing “ huwag kang mag-alala hindi kita pababayaan.”

Estelle grew up being surrounded by werewolves. The Alpha and the future Alpha always considered her as being one of the wolf despite not being part of the pack. She was a human. However, her reflexes were much faster than any human's, as well as her senses. Sometimes, she is considered as a wolf because her resistance was equal to some of them. Werewolves have mates, the women who are capable of taming those beast. It is assured that when a wolf turn sixteen, they can percieved the essence of their mate and there were no exception to the rule. Estelle didn't know if it was her idea or her hallucination but ever since she was a child, she already know who her mate is. The problem? He's a and she's a human. That would be impossible. The other problem? That guy is her best friend. The biggest problem? He already swore to know his mate and it is not Estelle.

"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."

Si Elijah Juarez, 25 years old, ipinanganak sa kahirapan ngunit itinadhana para sa marangyang buhay. Pinakasalan niya ang lalaking pinapangarap ng lahat — si Lejandro Ferman, anak ng isang bilyonaryo at tagapagmana ng pinakamalawak na hacienda sa bayan ng Velegas. Isang kasal. Isang pangakong walang hangganan. Isang buhay na tila perpekto... Pero paano kung ang lahat ng ‘perpekto’ ay bigla na lang maglaho? Ginawa kang alipin. Utusan. Alila. Pinagmalupitan. Tinanggalan ng dignidad. At ang lalaking pinakasalan mo — si Lejandro — bumalik sa Pilipinas… Ngunit hindi para iligtas ka. Kundi para ituring kang hindi asawa, kundi isang hamak na katulong sa kanilang hacienda. "Saan hahantong ang pagiging asawa ng isang bilyonaryo kung hindi ka niya kinikilala bilang asawa?" Aalis ka na lang ba? O haharapin mo ang mapait na katotohanan? Paano kung isang araw... Bumalik ang alaala ni Lejandro, ngunit ibang babae na ang nasa kanyang puso? Dahil sa mapanlinlang na si Furtiza, ang tunay mong pagkatao ay ninakaw… At ikaw na si Elijah, ay ipinakilalang katulong — sa iyong tunay na asawa.  Isang kwento ng pagnanasa, pagkakalimot, at pagtataksil. Handa ka bang maramdaman ang sakit ng pagmamahal na binura ng panahon?

Dahil nakatira sila sa isang bahay hindi maiwasan ng lalaki na lumapit sa kanya sa tuwing sila lang ang nasa bahay, dahil sa galit ni Samantha kay Gabriel kahit anong pilit nitong paglapit sa kanya ay hindi nya ito kinakausap, dahil sa araw araw nitong kinukulit si Samantha ay malapit na syang madala ng charisma ni Gabriel, isang araw ay hindi na nito napigilan ang sarili ng lumapit ito at hinalikan s'ya sa labi ng lalaki ay biglang dumating ang kasintahan nito at muntikan na silang mahuli. Araw araw kinakausap nito ang kanyang anak na si Mika sa pag-uusap nila ng anak ay narinig ito ni Gabriel napatanong ito kung may anak na s'ya subalit hindi nya sinabi na anak nila.

"I accepted everything, even your unborn child na walang ama tapos susuwayin mo ang utos ko? Akira gusto mo bang lumaki ng walang kinikilalang ama 'yang anak mo?" Sermon, yan ang palaging bungad ng stepmother ko sa tuwing pupunta ako dito sa bahay. Tumingin ako sa mga mukha nito, halata dito ang galit at inis. Napayuko lang ako dito sa sofa habang nakaupo. All my life I was a spoiled brat girl but in one night, in just one mistake nagbago lahat. Nakita ko ang pag hakbang nito palayo, ngunit bago pa man siya makaalis ay nagsalita muna ito. "You have no choice Akira, its either abort that child or marry Mr. Briar." "WHAT?" Sa sobrang gulat ay napasigaw ako at napatayo, napahinto naman si tita Belle. Lumingon ito sakin na parang nagtatanong kung bakit ako sumigaw. "A-anong si Mr. Briar?" "Yes, Mr. Reigh Briar. You know him right? Sila ang number 1 kalaban ng pamilya natin this coming election, so kung maikakasal ka sa kanya, you'll be staying there and be our spy." "Pero—" "No buts Akira." may diing sabi nito at tuluyan ng umalis. Si Reigh? Sa lahat ng lalaki si Reigh pa talaga? Why him? Kaya ko nga di pinaalam sa kanila kung sino ang ama ng batang nasa sinapupunan ko ay para lumayo sa kanya tapos ngayon siya ang papakasalan ko? PAPAKASALAN KO ANG EX KONG AMA NG DINADALA KO?
