The Mad Gate

My name is Ember Haiven. I’ve been alone and on the run my entire life. Everything changed when I became Kieran’s surrogate in exchange for his protection. I had no idea that I would fall in love with this dragon shifter and enter a world that I believed existed only in my dreams. “Is that what you want?” he asked. “Yes…” I said feeling myself go breathless in his arms. “I never thought I’d be able to touch another person like this and now, I just don’t want this feeling to end.” He kissed me sweetly, pulling me closer and then rested his forehead against mine. I could see the color drain from his face and his shoulders sag like I’d ripped the heart from his chest. And maybe I had. It felt like my own was trying to claw its way from my skin. He moved to take a step forward but then thought better of it. Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon is written by Claire Wilkins, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Simula pagkabata, humahanga na si Alliana sa Ninong niyang si Amadeus isang propesor. Kaibigan ito ng kanyang mga magulang at isa sa mga taong naging sandigan ng pamilya niya noong bata pa siya. Kahit noon pa man, alam na ni Alliana sa sarili niya na hindi lang basta paghanga ang nararamdaman niya sa kanyang Ninong. Tahimik niyang pinangarap na balang-araw, kapag siya’y ganap nang dalaga, baka sakaling mapansin din siya nito. Lumipat ang pamilya nila sa Vancouver Canada, at doon siya lumaki. Nang bumalik siya sa Pilipinas, isa na siyang kolehiyala. Dahil hindi na makakauwi sa Pilipinas ang kanyang mga magulang, ipinagkatiwala siya kay Amadeus na hindi lang ngayon ay guardian niya, kundi isa rin sa magiging propesor niya sa unibersidad. Sa tabi mismo ng condo unit ni Amadeus siya nanirahan. Mula nang magkita silang muli, hindi nawala ang pagkamangha ni Alliana sa kanya. Hindi pa rin ito nag-asawa. May dalawampung taon ang agwat ng edad nila, pero lalong lumalim ang damdamin ni Alliana sa araw-araw na kasama niya ito. Nakikita niya kung paano ito igalang ng mga estudyante, kung gaano ito ka-organisado at katalino, at kung gaano ito ka-dedicated sa trabaho. Ngunit gaano man siya lumapit, tila may dingding pa rin sa pagitan nila. Turing pa rin sa kanya ni Amadeus ay isang bata. Isang inaanak na kailangang alagaan at ituwid. Nagpasya siyang akitin ito sa kahit paanong paraan na alam niya, at kung hindi pa rin ito bumigay sa kanya tutuluyan na niya itong kakalimutan talaga at ibabaon ang damdamin para rito.

After my crimes, I surrendered myself to the police. My fiance rushed over and questioned me, “You didn’t steal anything, so why’re you admitting it?!” I spread my hands. I decided to spend the rest of my life in prison. In my previous life, my fiance’s childhood sweetheart, Selene, had caused trouble everywhere after she returned to her home country. First, she stole things from a mall. Then, she dined and dashed. Finally, she ran a red light and killed someone. The mall manager, the restaurant owner, and the victim’s family all cornered me. I was puzzled. Why did they come after me for the things Selene did? Later, they accused me in front of the police of stealing, dining and dashing, and committing a hit-and-run. Apparently, they had mistaken me for Selene. But Selene and I looked nothing alike. I requested the surveillance footage as proof of their claims. The footage somehow showed that I was the one who had stolen things, dined and dashed, and committed a hit-and-run. My denial was useless without evidence. The footage, on the other hand, was foolproof. The victim’s family stabbed me to death out of rage. Even as I died, I could not understand why all the crimes Selene committed ended up becoming mine. When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the very day Selene stole things from the mall.
