Powder Days

Looking at the bright sun, which is not so bright right now hiding itself to create darkness all around totally makes me think about my present situation. I heard that sound of footsteps entering the room, so I turned around and said, “Hey!” “Don’t start now. You will get your wish soon.” he said removing his coat. “We can’t!” I said, looking at him. “What do you mean? All these days you are asking nothing but for divorce papers. Now they will reach you in a few days for sure. Now why are you saying we can’t?” he asked with a completely blank expression. “I am pregnant!” I mumbled. “What?” he asked, stepping towards me in shock. “I.Am.Pregnant!” I said each word with force and then let the darkness consume me.

I was the princess of the Blood Moon pack, the little sister my Alpha brothers cherished. But that all changed when they brought home Lily, the human girl they adopted. They threw me in the dungeons for three days to “reflect.” My crime? Taking Lily into the forest and “accidentally” letting a rogue wolf attack her. I tried to explain, to tell them I was innocent. But my three brothers just looked at me with disgust and disappointment. “Aren't you just jealous that Lily’s getting our attention? Freya, when did you become so vicious?” Then, without a second thought, they severed our sibling mind link, cutting off my pleas for mercy. What they didn’t know was that the weakening wolfsbane in my cell had been swapped for lethal wolf's venom. Three days later, my oldest brother, Ethan, asked the butler, “Has Freya learned her lesson?” By then, I was already dead. My body was already starting to rot.

I died on the day I was supposed to form a mate bond with Alpha Ragnar. Since I did not show up, he went ahead and performed the ceremony with his childhood sweetheart, Nina. “Selena has already been marked by me, yet she still threw caution to the wind and cheated with a rogue. Her betrayal has brought shame upon us. She’s not worthy of being the pack’s Luna!” With just one careless sentence, Ragnar made my family a disgrace of the pack. My father was once a great warrior of the pack. He lost his wolf saving Ragnar, only to be drowned in a river as punishment for supposedly failing to discipline his own daughter. Our blood bond allowed me to feel his pain. However, I had been locked in a sealed, abandoned interrogation room—a silver cage. The mechanism inside was accidentally triggered, and thick poisonous gas filled the space. It killed me slowly and painfully. After my soul left my body, I appeared beside Ragnar and heard him say to Nina, “Thanks for your help today. If Selena hadn’t acted so foolishly, you wouldn’t have had to take her place in the ceremony. Ever since I marked her, she’s been getting bolder, thinking my affection gives her a free pass. How dare she skip such an important ceremony?!” However, the noble Alpha Ragnar seemed to have forgotten something. Just seven days ago, he threw me into a silver cage meant only for the most dangerous criminals to appease Nina. “You hurt Nina, so you must face the consequences. Take these three days to reflect. If you still won't admit your mistake, then don’t even think about ever leaving this place for the rest of your life.” I waited three days and then three more. The poisonous gas and silver ate away at my body, corroding me from the outside in. I endured seven days of unbearable pain before I finally died. When my body was found, it had been so ravaged by the poison that I was unrecognizable. As for the arrogant Alpha? He had completely lost his mind.

I am Maybelline Mia Park. Actually hindi ko alam kung bakit Maybelline ang unang pangalan ko, siguro big fan ang Mommy ko ng Maybelline make-up o baka naman uso talaga ang Maybelline products o di kaya wala lang talagang ibang maisip ang parents ko ng magandang pangalan. I really hate being called Maybelline dahil hindi naman ako mukhanag lipstick o face powder o eyeshadow o kung ano ano pa mang make-up na meron sila. Kung tinatanong ng iba ang pangalan ko, sinasabi ko lang "Mia Park." Short and decent. I am the epitome of clumsiness. Kahit ano ang gawin ko hindi ako ume-excel. Kahit saan ako magpunta palagi akong nadidisgrasya. Not actually disgrasya katulad ng nasagasaan o kaya nahulog sa building. Sa awa ng Panginoon hindi pa nangyari sa'kin ang ganun ka lalang sakuna. Maliit na disgrasya lang naman kagaya ng nadudulas, nahuhulog sa canal, mabuhusan ng tubig, natapunan ng pagkain. Can you still consider it small accidents? Kakambal ko na siguro ang .malas'. Sanay nadin naman ako sa mga hindi magandang nangyayari sa'kin sa pang araw-araw. Uggh!! ..but so much for that. Ever since nakita 'tong si Mr. Handsome and Mr. Hot sa mall nong gumala kami with my friends, hindi na ako napakali kaya hinanap ko talaga siya. Sinuyod ko ang buong town para lang malaman kung anong pangalan niya, san siya nakatira at sang school siya pumapasok. Well, di naman ako nabigo at nalaman ko din ang mga impormasyong gusto kong malaman. Then guess what? I transferred to livingstone Univeristy kung san siya nag-aaral ofcourse with my friends. Hindi naman din kasi sila magpapaiwan. I did everything para lang mapansin niya ako.
