Dark Side

CHAPTER THIRTY

MEETING THE KING

(A/N: UNEDITED. DO NOT PLAGIARISE, OR YOU WILL BE CURSED.)

"Cyan," narinig niyang tawag ni Lawrence.

Hindi niya ito pinansin at nagpatuloy lang patungo sa pack house.

"Don't walk out on me," sabi nito sa tonong naiinis at pinigilan siya sa balikat.

"What?!" sita niya.

"Why are you still mad?" tanong nito, looking frustrated and angry at the same time.

"I'm not mad," tanggi niya.

Napansin niyang naglalakad na rin paalis sina Gabriel at Dennis mula doon.

"Yes, you are," he said flatly.

Tumingin lang siya rito at hindi nagsalita.

"Fine," sabi ni Lawrence, sighing in defeat. "I was wrong to do that, I was wrong to blame them about you, leaving months ago," sabi nito sa kaniya.

"Hindi mo dapat ginawa iyon sa kanila," galit na sabi niya dito.

"I was angry at the time, at sila lang ang nakikita kong dahilan na nagpalala ng sitwasyon noon," he explained.

"Then why are you still doing it until now?" tanong ni Cyan dito.

"I'm strengthening the pack, Cyan. It's only natural for me to make each of them stronger."

Lalong uminit ang dugo ni Cyan sa narinig. Iyon din mismo ang sagot ni Dennis kanina.

"Alam mong hindi iyon ang tamang paraan, Lawrence," malamig na sabi niya. "All you were doing was making them suffer just like you did, just like we did."

Tinitigan siya ng mataman ni Lawrence, na para bang sinusuring mabuti kung ano ang iniisip niya. Maya-maya ay nagliwanag na ang mga mata nito.

"You are really my Luna," he said softly, the side of his lips lifting into a smile.

"Seriously?" iritang sabi ni Cyan sa biglang paglalambing ng tono nito.

"I'm just glad that you are acting exactly like a Luna now. You are thinking of the pack's welfare," nakangiti nitong sabi na para bang hindi sila nagtatalo kani-kanina lang.

"I can't believe you are saying this now," irita niyang komento rito.

"It perfectly suits you, being my Luna, defending them so bravely like that," marahan nitong sabi.

Cyan's face slowly began to flush a dark shade of red. Hindi na siya nagkomento at tinalikuran na niya ito pero niyakap siya nito mula sa likod. She groaned loudly, causing him to chuckle.

He kissed away the frown from her forehead, causing her to blush even more.

"Lawrence. We are outside!" she groaned and tried to get away from his arms.

Lawrence chuckled and let her go.

"Paano nila ginagawa iyon? One minute they looked ready to kill, then bigla nalang silang maglalambingan pagkatapos." Narinig nilang may nagkomento mula sa likuran ni Lawrence.

Namumula sa hiya na tiningnan ni Cyan ang nagsalita at nakita sina Gian at Gabriel na pinanonood sila habang nangakangisi at naka-crossed arms pa.

"Yeah.. Very interesting." sang-ayon ni Gian.

Cyan groaned even louder in annoyance and walked away from them, leaving them laughing lowly in amusement.

That night, they started to get their belongings ready. Baka kasi mag-stay sila ng ilang araw sa kaharian.
