Linus's POV

"Alpha! The Beta's cousin just arrived!" my omega announced. I nodded in understanding and fixed myself before going to my Beta's house.

While walking, my pack members are bowing their heads on me as a sign of respect. After all, I'm the Alpha of the powerful and most dangerous pack in Selenia, the Golden Moon Pack.

I saw my girlfriend while heading to Hiro's house. She's Jane, the most beautiful and sweetest girl I've ever seen. She's very humble and understanding, that's why I love her so much.

"Sweetheart, where are you going?" she asked. I hugged her tightly before answering.

"I'm just gonna meet my new pack member, Hiro's cousin," I said pertaining to my Beta. She nodded in response and asked if she could join me, and of course, I agreed.

We walked while holding each other's hand. She really is the perfect girl for me, and I can't imagine myself holding another girl's hand. For me, my hands are perfectly made to hold my sweetheart, Jane.

As we enter the house, I heard someone screaming. "KYAAAAHHHH!!! I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCHH!! Lalong lalo na ang gwapo kong pinsan! Pakiss nga!"

My Beta's mother, Tita Laine, saw me standing at the doorway, so she smiled at me and asked me to go inside and sit.

"Kia naman! Alam kong gwapo ako pero hindi tayo talo no!" Hiro said.

My Beta saw me, so he let go of his cousin who is facing backward, and greeted me. "Yo! Bro! This beautiful girl right here is my cousin, Kiara Rileston," he proudly said. Beautiful? As if. I'm sure she's not even half as beautiful as my girlfriend.

The girl turned around and I was surprised to see her face. It was so perfect, and I can't even point out a small imperfection in her flawless face.

She looks like a goddess for goodness' sake! I hate to say this, but I think she is way more beautiful than Jane. Better than any girl I saw before.

Our eyes met and I drowned in her beautiful emerald eyes.

"Mate," she whispered. One word that brings me back to my senses. My brows creased because of what she said. Mate?

I immediately faced Jane and I saw her on the verge of tearing up. I tried to hold her but she is refusing!

"Jane sweethea--STOP!" she shouted angrily to me.

"We're over. Be with your mate" she said before walking away. I saw her tears falling from her swollen eyes. Those precious tears.

I angrily faced this girl claiming to be my mate. I don't feel any sparks or pull at all.

"Mate," she said again which makes me angrier.

"I AM NOT YOU MATE!" I shouted.

"You are my mate Linus," she insisted while wearing that intimidating face of hers. I walk towards her and eyed her dangerously. When our face is just inches away from each other, I said those words that make her raised her brows.

"Then I'm rejecting you. I don't even know you. How would I know if you're telling the truth? Wag mo akong lokohin babae."

"Tapos ka na? Pwede na akong matulog? Pagod ako eh. Excuse me. Ang by the way, it was nice meeting you, MATE."

"Psh. Ipagpapalit niya ako sa pangit na yun? Hah! Nakakasira ng beauty." I heard her whispering while going up to her room. What the heck?! Kiara Rileston huh? Let's see how long can you stand on your lie.

Luna Kiara's POV

"Then I'm rejecting you. I don't even know you. How would I know if you're telling the truth? Wag mo akong lokohin babae."

He rejected me.

He rejected me the first time he laid his eyes on me.

Ganon ba ako kapangit? Wait! Panget ba ako? Sa ganda kong to! Irereject niya ang akong walanghiya siya! Sakalin ko yun eh! Maintidihan niya!

"Couz, wag mo munang pansinin si Linus. Nabigla lang siguro yun." Saad ni Insan para paggaanin ang loob ko. Tsh! Nabigla your face!

Inirapan ko na lang siya ng wala sa oras. Badtrip! Kadadating ko lang yan agad ang sasalubong sa akin. Sana sinabi nila para naman prepared ako!

Idagdag mo pa ang kaartehan ng girlfriend niyang mukhang paa. May paiyak-iyak pang nalalaman. Malandi! Nang-aagaw ng mate ng may mate.

At yung Alpha naman, may pareject-reject pa, halata namang natulala siya sa kagandahan ko. Tsk. Bakit kasi siya maggigirlfriend?! Hinintay muna sana niya yung mate niya bago siya maghanap ng iba.

"Nga pala couz, hindi ba 19 ka pa lang? Pano mo nasabing mate mo si Linus eh hindi ka pa naman twenty? Kiara ha! Baka niloloko mo kami?!" akusa ng pinsan kong medyo gwapo. Slight lang dahil pinagbintangan ba naman ako!

"Ako manloloko? Excuse me? Of course not! Tsh! Mga iniisip mo insan eh!" inis na sabi ko sa kanya.

Well, I did that para idivert ang attention niya. Hindi ko pwedeng sagutin ang tanong niya dahil kapag ginawa ko yun, malalaman niya ang pagkatao ko.

Nilingon ko si Tito Charles at sinenyasan. Nagets naman ata niya ang gusto kong mangyari kaya nilingon niya si Insan.

"Anak, pagpahingahin mo muna ang pinsan mo dahil siguradong napagod siya sa byahe." Sabi niya kaya nakahinga na ako ng maluwag. I guess I'm safe for now. Si tito lang kasi ang may alam ng totoo kong pagkatao and I trust him pagdating sa bagay na iyon.

Nagpaalam muna sila sa akin bago lumabas ng kwarto ko. Sumunod kasi sila sa akin matapos kong magwalk-out sa Alpha na yun. Psh. Kala mo naman napakagwapo.

Humiga na ako sa kama at pumikit, pero nakakainis! Dahil mukha ng mate ko ang nakikita ko.

May tumulong luha sa pisngi ko na dali dali ko namang pinahid. Kahit naman naiinis ako sa kanya, mas lamang ang sakit. Sinong hindi masasaktan eh nireject niya ako kaagad?!

Hindi man lang niya ako kinilala muna bago niya gawin yun. Ang sakit kaya! Pero di bale, hindi ko siya susukuan. Hindi ako papayag na ganun ganunin lang ako no! I'm not Kiara Rileston for nothing!

By the way, do you wanna know kung bakit ko nasabing mate ko ang alpha na yun kahit wala pa ako sa tamang edad?

Let me tell you a secret.

My mother is Selene, the moon goddess, the creator of Selenia, the deity of all the werewolves. Siya ang may gawa ng mga mate thingy na yan! Di ko nga alam kung anong naisipan ng nanay kong yun at ipinares ka ako sa lalaking yun.

Originally, sa Elium naninirahan lahat ng mga diyos at diyosa, but when my mother created Selenia, the land of werewolves, umalis na siya sa Elium para mabantayan ang mundong ito.

Dito niya nakilala ang ama ko. He is Kiron, a werewolf, he is the beta of the Golden Moon pack noon. They fell in love and they had me. My father left the pack dahil kay ina, at napagdesisyonan nilang bumalik sa Elium at doon na manirahan.

Yun ang dahilan kung bakit may mate ang bawat lobo dito sa Selenia. My mother wants them to be happy and contented with their own mates katulad nila ni Ama.

Sabi kasi niya, the first time she saw my father, she felt a connection with him, at may kuryente daw at sparks sa paligid.

Kaya kapag nakita namin ang mate namin, we will feel the connection between the two of us, dagdag mo pa yang mga electricity na yan at sparks kuno!

Ganon ang mate, pagnakita mo siya may attraction na agad, and eventually, love. Ang problema lang, nauso ang rejection. At nadamay pa ako! Makatulog na nga lang. Naaalala ko na naman eh.

***

Maaga akong nagising dahil ngayon ang first class ko. Kung tutuusin, my knowledge is more than enough para pumasok pa. Dyosa kaya ako! At lahat ng dyosa, matatalino!

Actually, hindi pa ako goddess. I'm just a demigod for now, but when a demigod like me reaches twenty, She will be officially a goddess and gain more power.

Dahil wala naman akong gagawin, at isa pa, nandoon si Linus, I decided to enroll. Nagsuot na ako ng highwaisted jeans at tank top. Pinuyod ko na rin ang buhok ko bago lumabas sa kwarto at pumasok sa academy, ang Selenia Academy.

Kasabay ko si Insan dahil kahit Beta siya ng pack na ito ay kailangan pa rin niyang pumasok. Ano siya sinuswerte?!

"Couz, don't do anything stupid okay? Kilala kita! Wag kang makikipag-away." banta niya sa akin dahilan para mapatawa ako ng slight.

"FIY Insan ha! Hindi ako basag ulo no. Hindi ko sila aayawin kung hindi nila ako aawayin. Simple as that." saad ko dahilan para mapailing-iling na lang siya.

Nagpark na siya ng sasakyan at kita kong nasa amin ang atensyon ng lahat. Beta's perks I may say. Bumaba na si Insan at sumunod na ako sa kanya. Nagsimulang magbulung bulungan ang lahat dahil sa amin, at rinig na rinig ko naman ang mga pinagsasasabi nila.

"Pare! Ang sexy."

"Oo nga. Pormahan ko yan pare."

"Asa ka! Lagot ka kay Beta Cain."

"Yan ba ang mate ni Beta?"

"Ang ganda niya ah in fairness."

"Excuse me? Mas maganda ako diyan no!"

Napailing na lang ako at hindi na sila pinansin. Naglakad na ako papasok kasabay si insan ng biglang tumigil ang mga bulung bulungan sa paligid.

I smelled the intoxicating scent again, that only my mate can have. Nilingon ko ito and I saw him standing at the entrance while looking intently at me with his dangerous stare.

I tried to stop myself pero parang may sariling utak ang bibig ko na bigla bigla na lang magsasabi ng "Mate."

Nagulat ang lahat at nagsimula na uling magbulung bulungan ang mga students sa paligid.

"She's the Alpha's Mate!"

"She's our Luna."

"How about Jane? Paano na siya?"

Nakita kong mas dumilim ang aura ni Linus habang matalim na nakatingin sa akin. Using his inhumane speed ay mabilis siyang nakalapit sa akin at kinaladkad ako patungo sa isang bakanteng silid.

Bago pa ako makapagreklamo ay siniil na niya ako ng halik. Itutulak ko sana siya pero hinuli niya ang mga kamay ko at inilagay sa pader habang patuloy ang paghalik sa akin.

I can't stop myself from responding to his kisses pero maya maya ay bumitaw na siya ng maubusan ng hininga. Tinitigan niya ako habang naghahabol pa rin ng hininga.

"I don't feel any sparks at all my so-called mate, so don't ruin my life by your lies." He spatted angrily before going out and slamming the door loudly, leaving me processing in my brain all the hurtful words he said.

Siraulong yun! Hahalikan ako tas iiwan din pala! Ipabubugbog ko siya!!

"Ahm, Ale, ayos lang po kayo?" tumaas ang kilay ko ng narinig ang sinabi ng lalaking bagong dating. Nilingon ko ito at sinamaan ng tingin. Badtrip silang lahat!

"Tinawag mo akong Ale? Gusto mo bang mamatay ng maaga?" mapanganib na sabi ko.

"Hindi po! Hindi po! Hehehehe, Sabi ko ate, bingi niyo naman eh." saad pa niya dahilan para mas tumalim ang tingin ko sa kanya. Arghhh! This day is so stressful! Tumalikod na ako at naglakad na papaalis ng sumigaw siya uli.

"Alex nga po pala! Nice meeting you!"

Psh. Pambabae.
