Sonadow Shadow Uke

Sa Pilipinas, hirap at tiyaga ang susi sa pag-angat, lalo na para sa mga hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Si Tresandrus Villafahr o kilala sa pangalang Tres, isang binatang may matayog na pangarap para sa pamilya— ay napilitang tumigil sa pag-aaral upang suportahan ang kapatid at alagaan ang maysakit nilang ina. Bilang breadwinner ng pamilya, pinasok ni Tres ang trabahong labag sa kanyang paniniwala at prinsipyo—ang pagiging male prostitute. Nilunok niya ang kanyang hiya at dignidad, isinakripisyo ang kanyang sarili para sa kinabukasan ng pamilya. Sa madilim na mundong kaniyang ginagalawan, isang gabi, pinasok ni Tres ang madaliang trabaho para kumita ng mas malaking halaga na makakapagligtas sa Nanay niya—ang maging isa sa bidding item. Sa gitna ng tila mga hayok na mayayamang kalalakihan, isang naiibang babae ang nagtaas ng bid paddle at binili siya sa halagang hindi kayang pantayan ng sinumang naroon sa kaniyang harapan. Ang gabing iyon ay nagbukas ng isang bagong kabanata sa buhay ni Tres. Sino ang babaeng ito at ano ang dala niyang pagbabago? Magkakaroon kaya si Tres ng lakas upang baguhin ang kanyang kapalaran, o mananatili siyang alipin ng mga makapangyarihan? Magkakaroon kaya sila ng pangalawang pagkakataon, o ito’y panandalian lamang?

On the day Shane Jackson and I registered our marriage, his infatuated secretary pushed me off a building. I fractured two ribs, lost my baby instantly, and slipped into a coma. Shane stayed by my side and told everyone I was his only wife, never leaving my bedside. But when no one was watching, he pressed that secretary against the hospital bed and murmured, "If it weren't for you, Lily and I would already have a three-year-old child. You owe us a baby. This is what you must repay her." Joanna Rogers trembled in his arms, eyes full of tears. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. I loved you too much. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me." A moment later, I heard their heavy breathing. My eyes, which had been shut for three years, suddenly opened. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

My mother is the Royal duchy and I am her sole heir. My mother was once deceived by my father, which nearly bankrupted our family. That bastard father of mine disappeared without a trace, taking the fortune he'd stolen from my mother and running off with his mistress. To prevent me from falling for the same kind of man in the future—to keep me from being fooled and robbed blind—my mother adopted two war orphans. She planned to raise them as potential husband candidates for me. But mother never knew the truth. These two men appeared respectful and obedient to her arrangements on the surface. But privately, they were both infatuated with my maid Josie. They constantly neglected me and made my life difficult, all to win her favor. My favorite, Marcus Reed, even gave up his own last name. He changed it to Josie's—Marcus Thompson. The betrayal cut deeper than I'd expected. Before mother died, she asked me the question I'd been dreading. "Which one do you want to choose as your husband?" But I had heard something interesting lately. There was a mafia heir—Vincent Rossi—who was notorious for his violence. He'd killed innocent people. Years of brutal fighting had left him severely injured. The doctors said he had less than six months to live. The mafia Rossi family wanted to marry him to a noblewoman before he died. I didn't hesitate to reach out to him. I offered an alliance through marriage. To my surprise, the Rossi family agreed. But on my wedding day, Marcus and the other candidate burst into the ceremony. They begged me to reconsider. "Please, don't do this!" Marcus shouted, his face desperate. "You can't marry him!" I stood there in my wedding dress, looking at the two men who had spent years ignoring me for my maid. Now they wanted me back? How interesting.

Eight years into our bond, I spotted a child at the kindergarten who looked uncannily like Malcolm—my mate. Malcolm had told me he was away on a business trip. However then he was holding that child in his arms, gently coaxing him. "Be good, sweetheart. In a few days, I'll bring you and your mom home. You're my only child. I'll never abandon you." The child smiled, content and trusting. I stood hidden around the corner, unable to breathe from the pain gripping my chest. Eight years ago, I had taken a silver blade to the stomach to save Malcolm. I lost my wolf that day—and with it, the ability to ever carry a pup. Back then, Malcolm had sat beside my hospital bed and made a promise: "You are the only mate I will ever choose. Whether or not we have a pup doesn't change that." However, what I saw now felt like a brutal slap—a reality too sharp to ignore. What value would Luna have if she'd lost her wolf and could no longer bear heirs? How could I possibly compare to someone who could give him a child, and the pack, a future? Choking back the pain swelling in my chest, I picked up the phone and called my father. "Dad… would you still want a daughter who's lost her wolf?" His voice came through, steady and sure. "Of course. No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you."
