The Praise Of Folly

Ang ampon ng aking ama ay ikinulong lamang sa masikip na storage closet nang halos labinlimang minuto, ngunit tinalian niya ako at itinapon sa loob bilang parusa. Tinakpan pa niya ang ventilation gamit ang mga tuwalya. "Bilang nakatatandang kapatid ni Wendy, kung hindi mo siya kayang alagaan, marapat lamang na maranasan mo rin ang takot na naramdaman niya,” seryoso niyang sabi. Alam niyang may claustrophobia ako, ngunit ang aking mga desperadong pakiusap, ang aking matinding takot, ay sinagot lang ng malupit na sermon. "Magsilbi sana itong aral sayo para maging mabuting kapatid." Nang tuluyang lamunin ng kadiliman ang huling hibla ng liwanag, nakakaawa akong nagpumiglas. Isang linggo ang lumipas bago muling naalala ng aking ama na may anak pa siyang nakakulong at nagpasya siyang tapusin na ang aking parusa. "Sana'y naging magandang aral sa iyo ang isang linggong ito, Jennifer. Kung mangyayari pa ito muli, hindi ka na pwedeng manatili sa bahay na ito." Ngunit kailanman ay hindi niya malalaman na matagal ko nang nalanghap ang aking huling hininga sa nakakasulasok na silid na iyon. Sa kadiliman, unti-unti nang nabubulok ang aking katawan.

Adrianna is an ordinary college student who's trying to get through her life by working part-time. Isang araw ng pagdalaw niya sa kaniyang ina ay kinagiliwan siya agad ni Madam Polly, ang ina ni Axl Genesis. She offered her to work for Axl. Ang akala niyang masaya at simpleng unang araw sa trabaho bilang secretary ni Axl ay nauwi sa isang pangyayari na lubos niyang pinagsisihan. She became a witness of a crime done inside the Genesis Office. And became the suspect for it. She did everything to prove that she's innocent. In the end, she has to stay with Axl, in his condo unit so she can prove she is innocent. Axl made sure she's safe as a witness and secured as a suspect as well. And he made sure she stays with him while the investigation is on going. The investigation and Adrianna's work with him was a rollercoaster ride. Unti-unti niyang nakilala si Axl. She found out why Axl became aloof, she found out why it was hard for him to trust people. Hindi nagtagal, nalaman niyang nahuhulog na rin siya rito. With her status in life and Axl's wealth, alam niyang imposible silang dalawa. She left for Axl's sake, to save his name and his family. But Axl didn't want it that way. He's willing to fight for her, he's willing to face all the problems as long as she's with him. Adrianna realized that she can do the same, that she can protect him and love him while they're fighting for each other. They are willing to prove that there's no such thing as meant to be, that there's no such thing as destiny, because you can be with someone as long as you want to be together. We create our own destiny.

I am staring at the city lights while having a smoke. It’s been a while since the last time I stayed in this condo. “Mist,” the man called me and I just gave him a boring look. “I want—” “Us back again?” sarkastiko kong sabi, tumango siya kaya tumawa ako. “Sorry, but killing is now my passion, so kill that love of yours.” “Isn’t it love is your passion?” naiiyak na sabi niya. “People change, and I ended that passion.” Iniwan ko na siya sa veranda saka nagtungo sa kwarto nag-ayos ng damit isinuot ang agent suit. Again, I am ready to kill. “Love? What the heck is that, I won’t beg, even if he does, hindi na ako papasok sa mundong yon, that place is chaotic, it is poisonous, venomous that can make you feel ill and numb.” Zyra Mist Alejandro, too tired of loving. If come inside of my heart you can only see words saying ‘end of passion’ because love is a killing potion.

After taking over from her father, Brielle becomes the first female Alpha to exist. Better yet, the pack she takes over is the second largest in the country. To say she already had her work cut out for her would be an understatement. Since the day she was born, she’s planned for this very day and made sure she would be a force to be reckoned with. Despite being one of the most ruthless, strongest warriors to date, many Alpha’s believe the Shadow Pack need a man in charge. Brielle must assert her dominance and deter those coming to take her title. She was prepared to put up one hell of a fight and eliminate anyone coming to take what was her birthright.

Will realising Brielle is his mate change the Alpha’s plans to dominant eliminate her leadership? Or has the battle for the Alpha title of the Shadow Pack only just begun? If that’s then case, then as Brielle would say; “let the games begin.” And quite literally, might I add. Oh, damn it, I forgot one more thing. Did I say Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack? Sorry, I meant Alpha’s. More specifically, I meant Alpha River, Alpha Ryker and Alpha Reid.
