The Vampire King's Favorite

Chapter 37

Tahimik lang kaming dalawa habang nakaupo rito sa labas.

We just found ourselves comfortable with each other's company. Mahigpit niyang hawak ang kamay ko habang nakatingin sa malayo habang ako naman ay hindi maiwasang napapatingin sa mukha niya.

I guess the mate's pull is really doing its job. Cause I can't take my eyes off him. Ni hindi ko na naisip na nasa kuta pa rin kami ng mga bampira. Kaming dalawa... Na parehong lobo.

Tumikhim ako dahilan para mapatingin siya saakin. My heart skipped a beat when our eyes met.

"What... What were you doing here?" Lakas loob na tanong ko.

He smiled. At napangiti nalang rin ako dahil don.

"I was with a friend. And yes, I have a vampire friend. I guess ikaw rin naman, because you too was in that party." Sagot niya.

Napatango-tango naman ako at saka ko lang naalala ang bampirang naiwan ko sa loob.

"I heard their king is getting married."

He's getting married...

I don't know but something in me twitched. Parang ayaw sa ideyang iyon. Napailing nalang ako at tinuon na ang buong atensyon sa mate ko.

This is what I'm thinking. Kaya simula pa lang, alam ko nang yung pagkagusto ko sa asungot nung bata pa ako ay hindi pwede. Because someday, I'll find my mate. And that day happened to be today.

"Yeah. He's getting married with his sister." Hindi ko alam kung bakit nasabi ko yon bigla.

He then chuckled that made me stare at him. My heart was filled with warmth. Sobrang gaan sa pakiramdam ng tawa niya.

"Oo. Yung kaibigan ko nga, pinsan niya yung girlfriend niya ngayon. How funny, right? That's incest for us but they only call it preservation of their kinds." Nakangiting sabi niya.

"What's your name?" At last, naitanong ko rin.

Kanina ko pa kasi iniisip kung anong pangalan niya. I think he also forgot to introduce himself.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away. My name's Mitchell. Mitchell Evans. How bout you?" Balik-tanong niya.

"I'm Theia. Theia Deious."

Sa hindi malamang dahilan, unti-unting nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa sinabi ko. Nangunot tuloy ang noo ko dahil don.

"You're Theia? The Theia Deious of the famous legendary pack?"

Napangiwi tuloy ako sa sinabi niya. Kilala niya pala ako.

Well, I'm not a secret anyway. Lalo na kapag si Lolo ang nagpapakilala saakin. He's willing to announce to the whole world that I, Theia Deious, is his granddaughter. Minsan, ako nalang ang nahihiya.

"Ah, yeah." Napapakamot sa ulong sagot ko.

"I can't believe it... My mate is the daughter of an alpha... Your grandfather is my idol. Grabe, hangang-hanga talaga ako sa storya niya." Sa sinabi niya, agad ulit akong napatitig sakanya.

His eyes are sparkling with too much adoration. Talaga ngang idol niya si Lolo. Well, who wouldn't?

He, with only his hundred men, defeated five packs in a row. Five undefeatable packs. Can you imagine that? Ang sabi pa, hindi daw lumagpas sa sampu ang nawala sa grupo ni Lolo. That's the time he started building up his own pack.

After that bloody war, he became the famous Alpha of the legendary pack. And now, he's the Alpha King. Pero lagi niyang sinasabi saakin na, 'Its not that pack. It's the individuals in it. The pack wouldn't be legendary if the person in it is not.'
