KABANATA XV


Third Person's POV

"You're back." Malumanay na sambit ni Jake ng muling lumitaw si Greyson sa loob ng opisina. But then, his expression says that something really did happened.

Hindi nag-aksaya ng oras si Greyson at kaagad na lumapit sa direksyon ni Jake.

"They already knew something about Everly." Doon na tuluyang nabalot ng seryoso ang ekspresyon ni Jake. When Greyson said those words he already knew whom he is referring to.

None other than their most deadly enemy. Those evil warlocks.

"How come? Wala namang nakakalabas na impormasyon sa mansion hindi ba?" Puno ng kaguluhang usal nito sa Alpha na bakas ang inis sa ekspresyon.

"A while back, I began to sense something was off. Then my heart began to pound quickly, as if someone was clutching it tightly. Nang dumating ako sa mansion ay doon ko nakumpirmang may nangyari nga kay Everly. She was found by manang, unconsciously lying on the floor of her own room." Doon ay natigilan si Jake. Hindi niya lubos maisip na ganito pala ka seryoso ang nangyari kanina kaya napilitang umalis si greyson ng walang pag-aalinlangan.

"Are you sure they are the ones who did this? I mean, we have a lot of enemies around, and one of them could've been behind this." May puntong usal nito kay Greyson na inilingan lang ng lalaki.

Ramdam niya pa hanggang ngayon ang lamig ng babae, siguro kung nahuli lang siya ng dating ay malamig na bangkay na lamang nito ang kanyang dadatnan. Her unusually slow heartbeat is still vivid in his mind.

"She almost died. Walang ibang mas may kakayanin na gumawa ng ganitong kasamaan bukod sa mga nilalang na iyon." Pinanood ni Jake ang pagkuyom ng palad ng Alpha habang bakas ang labis na galit sa ekspresyon nito.

"They're really doing anything to trap me." Napa diretso ng tayo si Jake at muling humarap sa nakabukas na bintanang iyon.

"What do we do now Alpha? We should do something to keep Everly as well as manag safe." Nababahalang sambit nito habang pilit na nag-iisip ng paraan paano masosolusyunan ang panibagong banta na ito.

"Did you already give our first command?" Balik na tanong nito na mahinang tinanguan ni Jake. He is referring to the undercover organization they established to conduct their secret investigation and carry out their plan. Sadly, Greyson wasn't there earlier to explain their strategy to the hidden group in person. But he is cognizant that his own Beta is the one person he can trust the most.

The two of them have been on each other's side since the very beginning.

"I did. Hindi lulubog ang araw ng hindi natin nalalaman ang mga impormasyong nakalap ng grupo. I just hope that they'll find something that we can use to temporarily stop those leader from doing anything against you." Sambit nito na tinanguan lamang ng Alpha. Pareho silang hindi sigurado kung may patutunguhan ba ang mga bagay na ginagawa nila ngayon, or kung may saysay ba ang pag-kuha nila sa mga tauhang iyon para tulungan sila sa kanilang plano.

They have no other option, though. They can't just complete the task on their own; in addition, they have a significant duty to the pack and must learn how to withstand enemies' unexpected attacks.

Greyson tightens his hold on the table as he considers a more effective strategy for keeping his enemy outside the mansion. His mind then wandered to his mother's former coven, which he immediately refused to accept.
