Princesses Of Today

I have been bound to Ryan Hardin for nine years. He is pureblood, the Alpha of Silverfang Pack. And I… I was chosen as nothing more than a “temporary Luna,” a political pawn to steady the pack’s power. In those nine years, he betrayed me countless times. The first time, on my birthday, he announced that the celebration belonged to another she-wolf he had just met. The second time, I brewed medicine for his injuries, only to be accused by the Elders of bewitching the Alpha. He didn’t defend me—instead, he ordered me to be whipped in front of the entire pack. The third time, I was three months pregnant. He stood there, watching as his childhood sweetheart pushed me down the stone steps. I lost our pup that day. Nine years. Three thousand two hundred nights. I endured his indifference, his humiliation, his contempt. Last night, at the Silverfang Pack’s full-moon feast, he openly entwined his hand with a young Omega’s while I sat abandoned at the far end of the Alpha’s table. Every gaze cut into me—wolves whispering, mocking, savoring the spectacle. It was his 200th betrayal. When the feast ended, Ryan didn’t even look at me. His words were sharper than fangs: “Don’t forget, your Luna title is only temporary.” At dawn, he descended the Alpha’s staircase, his voice cold and commanding as if I were a servant: “Prepare the council’s tea. Now.” I met his gaze without flinching, my voice steady, stripped of all submission. “I’m sorry, Alpha. That is no longer my duty.” He seems to forget—we were never bound by a mark. Ours was an agreement, nothing more. And today marks the third-to-last day before that agreement ends. I gathered the Luna emblem, the wedding ring, and our only wedding photo—and burned them all. In three days, I’ll leave this pack. I will return to the secluded Herbal Academy, reclaim my research. And this time, when I walk away, I will never return.

Sabi nila lahat ng bagay at tao my lugar may pwesto, may panahon at oras makakapagpasaya man sayo o hindi. Gaya na lang ng araw sa umaga bwan sa gabi, ang tubig sa ilog umaagos at ulan ay pumapatak, ang tao ay nabubuhay at namamatay... But Im not buying it kasi kung ganon? Bakit kinuha agad ang mahal ko? Ang lugar at pwesto pati panahon at oras nya ay dapat sa tabi ko. Kaya isa lang ang ibig sabihin LIFE IS A BIG BULLSHIT UNFAIR! Sandali ko lang syang nakasama pero kinuha na lang sya bigla. Marami pa kaming gustong gawin at puntahan. Marami pa syang pangarap na gustong tuparin. Kung maibabalik ko lang ang oras. Pero kahit anong gawin ko di na ko makakabalik sa oras na yon. Yong masaya at kasama ang mahal ko. *** Tumgin ako sa salamin at yuko. Tumingin uli ako sa salamin... Tingin sa likod.... Sa salamin uli.... "Oh jesus!!!!" "Waaaaaaahhhhhh..." Sigaw ko habang nakaturo sa salamin. Subra talaga ang takot ko kaharap ko ang bata kong pag mumukha! Sigaw pa rin ako ng sigaw buti na lang walang tao kundi para akong baliw. Totoo ba to? Kinurot ko sarili ko at pinag sasampal. "Aray! Putik ang sakit" "Ano bang nangyayari? Ganito ba sa heaven?" Lumabas ako hahanapin ko na si mahal walang duda patay na ko! As in dead. Pero pano si mommy? Hinihintay ako. "Bala na si batman basta mahanap ko si mahal." Napadaan ako sa labas ng at.. Ano ba showing nila mga luma na pang 2014 pa. sariwa pa sa akin ang mga taon ng nakilala ko si mahal. Teka? Parang may di tama. Kaya nag duda na ko nagtanong- tanong ako at sa 20 na taong tinanong ko isa lang ang sagut... Today is APRIL, 17,2014. Hindi pwede, 2055 na sa panahon ko.

My family hates me for causing my brother's death. From then on, I become a child no one loves. Meanwhile, my cousin, Evelyn Green, who looks like my brother, becomes the apple of my parents' eyes. From the age of ten to 18, my days are a cycle of beatings and forced apologies. On my 18th birthday, Evelyn wears a gorgeous gown and basks in everyone's adoration, while I'm shoved around in a maid's uniform and hit like I'm not even human. In my darkest moment, Morgan Oakley, the mafia boss, saves me. He takes me home, and step by step, wins his way into my heart. Because of him, I learn what love can feel like. He treats me like a treasure and promises me forever. However, on the day we're supposed to register our marriage, he keeps me waiting for a whole day and night. He never shows up. As I'm about to leave, my phone starts buzzing. A text from Morgan pops up. "Jasmine, I'm sorry. I ran into an enemy and couldn't make it to the city hall. A storm's coming, so make sure you get home quick!" My heart clenches in panic. I'm about to text back and ask if he's okay when Evelyn's message comes right after his. "Jasmine, I'm the one he loves. He skipped marrying you today because of me. You must be devastated, right?" Then, she sends a video. In it, Morgan holds her gently, his voice soft as he comforts her. "Evie, don't cry. You once saved my life, so I'll do anything for you. If you don't want me to marry Jasmine, then I won't. I love you. I only took her in so I could keep her close. That way, she'd be right there when you needed blood." My parents were off to the side. They chimed in tenderly, "Don't cry, Evie. Morgan loves you. He only pursued Jasmine because of your condition. You have a coagulation disorder and need transfusions of Rh-negative blood whenever you get hurt." I stagger back when I hear that, dropping my phone to the ground. So, Morgan's sudden passion is laced with poison. He only pretends to love me just so he can turn me into Evelyn's walking blood bank! Everyone goes to so much trouble to hide the truth from me just so Evelyn doesn't need to suffer from her condition! Rain mixes with my tears as they slide down my face. I stare at my phone on the pavement as bitterness floods me. A thought forms—I want to leave them forever. I want to disappear so they'll never find me again.
