In The Arms Of An Alpha

Epilogue Part 1

Freya's P.O.V.

Malungkot akong napatitig sa kwintas na nasa kamay ko. The only thing that connects me to my mother land is now gone. Isang parte ko ang nakakaramdam ng panghihinayang sa nangyari. Subalit alam ko kahit na anu pa ang gawin ko ay hindi ko na mababawi pa ang bagay na pinili kong bitawan. I don't exactly know where this is going to lead us, but I am hoping that it will be for the better.

"I'm sorry..."

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa nagsalita. I can see the guilt on Prompto's eyes while looking at the necklace I am holding.

"Don't be, it's the right thing to do." At least, that is what I hope so.

"Paano na lang si Cloud? He is supposed to bear the mark. He is supposed to be the next-in-line alpha of Tenebrae. He completely lost his pack."

"I've been in that situation before, bearing that mark is a headache. If I am going to be honest, I think I feel so much better now than before." Nagkibit-balikat ako at saka itinapon ang kwintas sa kalapit na basurahan. "Malaya na ako. The ties that connects me on my old pack no longer exist, and my father exiled me."

Napangiwi si Prompto sa huli kong sinabi. I know he feels bad for me because of what had happened, but it's really nothing in my own opinion. Masakit ang maitakwil ka ng iyong sariling magulang. Subalit iba ang sitwasyon ko. Ang magulang na nagtakwil sa akin ay hindi ko nakasama ng matagal na panahon. How can I miss someone who never been there for me right from the very beginning?

"How about Ravus? He's still your brother."

Nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa dibdib ko sa pangalang binanggit nito. Ravus probably tried to kill me and trapped me in the cursed mirror, but that doesn't mean I want him to die. He is still my brother. Sa maikling panahon na nakasama ko ito sa Tenebrae noon ay naging mabuting kapatid ang turing nito sa akin. Subalit may mga bagay na alam kong sadyang hindi maiiwasan.

"Ravus saw it coming. I don't want to lose him, but there's nothing I can do to save him either." Malungkot kong wika. Nasasaktan ako sa isiping wala na talaga ito. Subalit kung nasasaktan ako sa pagkamatay ni Ravus ay alam kong mas nasasaktan ngayon si Nyx. He is his bestfriend. Nakagat ko ang ilalim ng labi ko upang pigilan ang pagiyak. "This world is cruel. Who would have thought na aabot sa ganito ang lahat?"

Tinawid ni Prompto ang distansiya namin at saka ipinaloob ako sa bisig nito. Ibinaon ko ang mukha ko sa leeg nito at doon tahimik na lumuha. I thought, the end is supposed to feel satisfying and happy. In my case, I feel lost. It feels like there's a big piece of my soul has been taken away from me. I feel so empty right now. I'm not sad, nor happy. Instead, it feels like there is a void in my soul that I know nothing can fill.

"It's okay. You can cry on me Freya. What you have been through is not an easy. Pinapili ka ng mundong ito sa pagitan ng iyong pamilya at sa lalaking itinakda sayo." Hinaplos nito ang buhok ko.

Sa kabila ng sakit at pagod na nararamdaman ko ay nakaramdam ako ng kapanatagan. I know I made the right choice when I chose to bring his soul back to life. Prompto is such an angel. He is that person that I can always lean on. He never fails to lighten up the atmosphere. He and Light deserves to be happy.

Hinayaan ako ni Prompto na ibuhos ang lahat ng sakit na nararamdam ko sa kanya. He didn't try to make me stop crying. He stayed silent and let me cry to my heart's content. Alam nito na walang kahit isang salita ang makakapagpagaan ng nararamdaman ko.

Noctis's P.O.V.

"Are you sure about this?" Tanong ko kay Nyx na ngayon ay nakayuko sa harap ko. Now that Prompto is back and the mark that binds my son in Tenebrae pack has been remove, he is asking me to free him from the responsibility of being the gamma of Niflhiem. "Prompto is back, but that doesn't mean you will lose your position as the current gamma of Niflhiem."
