Hiro's POV

"BULLSHIT! GET OUT! LEAVE BEFORE I WRING YOUR NECK!" galit na sigaw ni Linus sa isang kawawang warrior. Dalawang linggo ng wala si Couz at dalawang linggo na ring may dalaw si Alpha. Rinig niyo naman siguro ang sigaw niya diba? Tsk! Nadamay pa ang inyong gwapong lingkod.

Asan na kasi ang Kiara na yun? Antagal naman kasing bumalik at biruin mo, dyosa pala ang pinsan kong yun. Hindi na ako magtataka. Nasa dugo kasi namin ang kagandahan at kagwapuhan. Mukha ko pa lang alam na!

"Saang banda?"

"Ay gwapo!" sigaw ko ng bigla na lang may nagsalita sa isip ko. Gulat ako ah! Si Kiara lang pala.

"Sa lahat ng banda," sagot ko ng makarecover.

"Hiro kailangan kong makita si Tito. Emergency. Do you know where he is right now?" tanong niya kaya napaayos ako ng tayo dahil sa sobrang kaseryosohan niya.

"He's currently patrolling on the West border of the pack. Bakit ba?" tanong ko. Sobrang seryoso niya eh. Di ako sanay. 

"M-my father needs him. He's dying Hiro please." naiiyak na sagot niya. I can feel her sadness, remorse, and grief. 

"What?! Luna Kiara, where are you?!" di ko mapigilang hindi mag-alala para kay Couz.

"I'm going to tito," she said before cutting our link.

"Anak ng!" Tumakbo ako papalabas ng office in Linus pero pinigilan niya ako.

"Where are you going?" tanong nito.

"My cousin needs me," seryosong sabi ko bago tumakbo ng mabilis papuntang West Border. Nakita kong sumusunod sa akin si Linus pero natigilan siya ng tawagin ni Jane. Wala akong panahon sa mga kadramahan nila.

That Alpha doesn't deserve my cousin. Bestfriend ko siya pero tang'na galit ako sa kanya. I hate him for hurting my cousin's feelings.

Siguro akala ni Luna hindi ko napapansin dahil magaling siyang magkunwari na ayos lang siya. Pero ako, hindi niya ako maloloko. Kita ko kung gaano siya nasasaktan tuwing nakikita niya si Linus at Jane na magkasama. Pero kahit ganon, she still has the guts to smile na para bang walang nangyari.

Pagdating ko sa West Border ay nakita ko si Couz na kayakap ni Dad at umiiyak siya. "Kiara! What the hell happened?!" gulat na tanong ko. Pukto ang mga mata niya ng lumingon ito sa akin pero hindi nakatakas sa akin ang pagbabago ng anyo niya.

"Insan" hagulgol niya. "Insan si Ama!" pagsusumbong niya sa akin. Niyakap ko naman siya habang patuloy pa rin sa pag-iyak.

"Sshh, Couz nandito lang kami ni Dad. Tell us kung may kailangan ka," pagpapagaan ko ng loob niya. Tumango naman siya at bumitaw na sa yakap. Nagpunas muna siya ng luha at ngumiti ng pilit.

"Insan kailangan ko ng ihatid si Tito kay Ama," paalam niya sa akin. Kahit nanginginig ay hinawakan niya ang balikat ni Dad at bigla na lang silang naglaho. Perks of being a goddess.

Nanatili lang ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng ilang oras dahil hindi magsink in sa akin ang mga nangyayari. Pangalawang beses ko pa lang nakita si Kiara na umiiyak.

She's bubbly and strong kaya alam kong pag umiyak siya, sobrang sakit na ng pinagdadaanan niya. She was rejected tapos dumagdag pa yung kalagayan ng ama niya. I know she's having a hard time.

Paalis na sana ako pero nagulat ako ng makita si Kiara na nakasalampak sa lupa at nakatakip ang mata habang humihikbi.

"Kiara," tawag ko bago lumuhod at yakapin siya.

"H-hiro, hindi ko kayang makita si Ama na nahihirapan. He's slowly dying, and I can't do anything but watch him suffer kaya umalis ako. Hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko kaya. Ang duwag-duwag ko," inis na sambit niya.

"No, you're not. Akala ko ba malakas ka? You're Kiara Rileston, right?" pampagaan ko ng loob niya pero langya! Lalo pa siyang naiyak!

"Akala ko rin eh! Hindi pala insan, kasi ang hina-hina ko," paos na sagot niya.

"Couz, let's go home para makapagpahinga ka. Don't worry, magiging maayos rin ang lahat," saad ko na lang bago siya alalayang tumayo.

Naglalakad na kami ng may makasalubong akong mga warriors. "Beta Hiro! May mga rouge sa East Border! Kailangan namin ng back up!" Napatingin ako kay Couz.

Tumango naman siya para sabihing ayos lang siya kaya kahit ayaw ko siyang iwan ay sumama pa rin ako sa mga warriors para tulungan sila dahil sa biglang pag-atake ng mga rouges. Tsk! Bad timing naman kasi sila!

Linus's POV

My warriors just informed me a while ago that there is a rouge attack on the East Border, but I trust my Beta. I know he can handle those bastards.

I am walking hand in hand with my girlfriend. I'm so happy that she gave me a chance to prove myself to her, but that Kiara is nagging my mind! She doesn't leave my mind since last week, and I don't know why I feel uneasy without her in my sight. 

Ang speaking of the devil. I saw her walking with her intoxicating smell toward our direction, but it seems like she's not in herself. Her emerald eyes are swollen and unfocused. She has a gloomy aura as well that makes my brows creased. Ano namang problema ng babaeng yan?

Patuloy lang kaming naglalakad ni Jane, but she doesn't seem to acknowledge our presence. My mouth then talked on his own and asked her.

"What happened to you?" using my Alpha tone. She suddenly returned to her senses and give me a tired smile before murmuring.

"Mate."

I felt Jane letting go of my hand and walking away after saying "Talk with your mate." I can't do anything and just watch my girlfriend walk away from me.

When I'm sure that Jane was away, I irritatedly look at Kiara. "How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have any rights to call me mate?!" I spatted angrily.

"Linus, I'm your mate," she said tiredly. Her voice was too lonely, and the pain was visible on it. What the heck?! She's nearly crying! Is she really that annoying Kiara that I met?!

"I have all the rights to call you Mate because that is the truth. You are my mate, and I am yours."

"Bakit ba kasi pinipigilan mo?" she said with her hoarse voice and I was shocked when a tear flowed from her eyes as she stared at me.

I closed my eyes and stopped myself from comforting her. She's making it hard for me! No one dared to speak for a couple of minutes until I decided to talk.

"I need to..." I stopped talking in the middle of my sentence when she covered her eyes with her hand and sobbed silently like she knew what I'm going to say.

"Kiara, I need to reject you," I continued while my fist was closed tightly preventing me from holding her and wiping her tears. I really want to hold her, but something is stopping me.

She smiled weakly at me while her tears are still flowing continuously. "Why?" she said while preventing herself from sobbing loudly. Tears flowed in her porcelain face, and I immediately feel pain in my heart. It pains me to see her crying. Why do I feel this way?! Is it because of the mate bond?

"Please tell me," she whispered, but I didn't answer her.

"It's Jane, right? You love her." She smiled painfully. I just nodded my head and guilt flashed in my eyes.

"I promised myself to protect her just how she protected my mother 5 years ago. She didn't leave my mother until her last breath when rouges attacked that time. And even she died, I know she's happy because someone protected her," I said while reminiscing how I found my mother lying on Jane's lap with her blood covering her whole body and her heart pulled out from her body. That memory makes my blood boil.

She nodded in understanding while still crying. "Pwede bang humingi ng pabor?" she asked, and I didn't speak as a sign that she can.

"Pwede bang yakapin ka?" she said that caught me off guard. She didn't wait for my response and walked closer to me. She hugged me tightly like she doesn't want to let go.

I don't know what to say or do! I just let her hug me. All I know is that I want her in my arms. God! We stayed like that for a few minutes until she decided to let go.

She stared at me and touched my face. She seems like memorizing every part of it. She caressed my face with her two warm hands and kissed my forehead. Heck! The moment her lips touch my forehead makes the sparks in my body erupted.

Her touch, her hugs, her kisses, and her stares are the only thing that makes me feel crazy. Even Jane can't! Siya lang! It's like a drug, and I'm addicted to her. She makes me want me want more and more of her and there's no cure for it! But there is something in me that's stopping me from claiming her.

She then kissed the tip of my nose. I'm slowly losing my sanity! She kissed my cheek and stares at me again.

"Farewell, my mate. You are a great Alpha and I'm proud of you." She smiled before kissing me on my lips, and that makes me lose it all. I feel like breaking free from something. I don't care about anything anymore! All I know is that I want to be with my mate!

She let go of me and stared at me one last time. "I love you," she said before disappearing from my sight. I can't move. S-she what? Did she leave me?! Damn! Damn! No! Not now! Not now, please!

"KIARA!" Nilibot ko ang paningin ko habang nagbabaka sakali na makita siya but damn! She's gone. Wala na. Damn it! What have I done?!
