Teach Me How To Alpha

AFTER 5 - CAKE

POV TRAEVON ERIKSSON

Pagpasok namin ni Polaris sa loob ng bahay ay kapansin pansin ang interior design ng bahay ni Caelen. It looks familiar as if I have been to a similar house before. High technology kitchen amenities and fully furnished interior decoration. Sigurado ako na hindi afford ng isang office worker ang ganitong klase ng bahay.

Napansin ko agad isang light cream paper sa ibabaw ng glass table. It has a red wax seal with letter J. I am quite sure who is the owner of this stamp.

Welcome to my humble abode.

Treat this as your own house. I will keep in touch.

- Sir Joe.

Sir Joe. Just like what I have expected, this letter is from my great grandfather, Joaquim Hidalgo, also known as Joah the Thirteenth Alpha. I wonder what is Caelen's relationship with him.

"Traevon, magbibihis lang ako ah? Wait mo lang ako," sabi ni Caelen sabay baba ng cake sa lamesa.

Umakyat naman ito sa second floor para magpalit ng damit. Si Polaris naman ay nakaupo sa sofa at nakahawak sa ulo na parang may matinding problema.

"Polaris, you lied to me. You know Caelen San Rafael. Who is she?"

"W-what? I don't know what you are talking about!"

"You are not a good liar, Polaris. Tell me what you know about her."

"Dude, I can't say anything."

"I'm not asking you as your friend. I am asking you as the Royal Heir, the Alpha of the Eriksson family. Who the fuck is Caelen San Rafael? And why the fuck is my great grandfather is in touch with her?" tanong ko sabay hagis ng letter ng lolo ko sa kanya.

Polaris is a good friend of mine. He is part of my Royal Cavalier or my elite protective detail. But I don't like the fact that he lied to me. I know in my guts that he is hiding something.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm not at liberty to answer your question."

"What the fuck are hiding from me?"

"Find your great grandfather. He is in the position to discuss this further."

"So you are indeed hiding something from me."

"Yes and I vowed not to tell you anything."

"Are your hands tied? May kinalaman ba ang mga First Heirs."

Tumango lang si Polaris. If he made a vow in front of the First Heirs, it means that this is an unbreakable vow. Maybe Lolo Joah can give me more answers.

"Leave us. I'll stay with Caelen for a few days. Don't tell anyone where the fuck I am. Find the Thirteenth Alpha. Let him know that I will ask him for answers myself."

"Trae, I'm really sorry."

"Don't apologize, Polaris. You're just doing your job, but just so you know, I'm not stupid."

Naputol ang usapan namin ni Polaris nang bumaba si Caelen. She is wearing a simple dress. She looks cute and I can't seem to choose if she looks better with clothes or without any clothes on.

"Polaris will be leaving shortly. May pupuntahan pa siyang ibang lugar," sabi ko kay Caelen.

"Pero ang dami ko chocolates sa ref. Baka gusto mo magbaon, Aris?"

"Aris, I like that. Call me Aris."

I can sense from Polaris that he had an attachment with Caelen, not a romantic relationship, but more of a friendly connection.

"Aris, kain ka na rin ng cake bago ka umalis. Libre 'yan, bigay ng may ari ng bahay. Sabi ni Traevon sa akin, matakaw daw ang mga Werewolf."

Pinagbigyan ni Polaris si Caelen at kumain ng merienda bago umalis. Naiwan naman kami ni Caelen na kumakain pa rin sa dining table.

"Traevon, dito ka na matulog. May extra kwarto sa taas."

"Sigurado ka ba hindi magagalit ang boyfriend mo?"

"Huy! Magkatabi nga tayo matulog kagabi eh. Tingin mo may boyfriend ako?"

"May point ka. Sige, I'll stay here for as long as you like. I will teach you about being a Werewolf, straight from the Alpha himself."

"Talaga? Buti naman kasi wala ako kasama dito eh. Gusto ko maka sigurado na hindi ako magiging aso pagbalik ko sa Maynila."

Mukhang kailangan ko takutin si Caelen na baka mag-anyong Werewolf siya anytime soon dahil bilog ang buwan para hindi agad siya umuwi sa Maynila.
