She Who Got Rejected ✔️

Chapter 32

[Red]

Tila gumuho ang mundo ko. Tinanggal ni Kaizon ang brasong naka-akbay sa akin.

And then masked men appeared, surrounding us. Familiar masks. Ganito rin ang maskara ng mga kasamahan noong taga-Council na nagbigay ng misyon sa amin.

Someone clapped. "Bravo! Finally! You guys caught up!" The person who gave us this mission appeared from the circle of masked individuals. Sa tabi niya ay naroon si Vladoimir at Wirron Oleander. Humahakay si Vladoimir, looking bored. Wirron Oleander meanwhile has a triumphant smirk on his face.

"Ate Reka!" bati ni Zafeera.

Sumagot ang taong nagbigay sa amin ng misyon, "Hey, cutie Zafeera!"

"Where's Ninong Z?" tanong ng bata.

"Namimili siguro ng gifts para sa'yo, Zafeera."

The child screeched in happiness but I couldn't care about anything else right now.

Wirron Oleander placed steel cuffs around Alekxus' wrists. Tinadyakan niya si Alekxus at ito'y napaluhod sa lupa.

I couldn't do anything. I don't know what to do. Pakiramdam ko ako ay nasa isang bangungot at gustong-gusto ko nang magising.

"Alekxus Oxalis," tawag ni Wirron Oleander. Alekxus slowly lifted his head and is now directly staring at me. His gaze filled with sadness, but no regrets, not even a hint of regret. "You're arrested for crimes of murder, murders outside of Bone Field, a major violation of The Council's Law." Namutla ako. Alekxus' eyes didn't leave mine, expression unchanging. "As the head of the Werewolf Seat of The Council, and as punishment for your crimes, I am sentencing you to die by beheading."

Nanlambot ang mga tuhod ko at magkaharapan na kaming nakaluhod ni Alekxus ngayon. A tear dropped from Alekxus' eyes. Followed by another and then another. Hindi ko na napansin kung kailan rin ako nagsimulang umiyak.

"Any objections, Alekxus Oxalis?" tanong ni Wirron Oleander.

"None." Alekxus croaked.

Hindi man lang niya dinipensahan ang sarili. He's guilty, Alekxus is really guilty of murdering five werewolves.

"Nabulag ng pag-ibig si Red Hood." komento ni Reka. "Mahal mo na 'yang si Alekxus at dahil sa pagmamahal na 'yon, hindi mo napansin ang ibang bagay. Matalino ka subalit natalo niyang puso mo ang utak mo." Biglang pumasok sa isipan ko ang mga nangyari nitong nakaraang araw. Reka is right. Sometimes, Alekxus acted strangely. Those are clues and I failed to notice them. "When it comes to Oxalis Heir, you aren't a detective, you're just a woman in love." To Kaizon, Reka said, "That's why you should be angry at her, Alpha Kaizon. Red Hood here failed as your detective."

"Enough drama, Reka. Alekxus Oxalis, good of you to face the consequences of your crimes." May humila sa akin patayo, napabalikwas si Alekxus, tila gustong hawakan ako, yakapin ako, but a different set of arms hugged me instead.

Kaizon.

Itinapon akong parang gamit ni Wirron Oleander kay Kaizon, and to his relative, Wirron said, "That's fun to watch. What a wonderful battlefield! Battlefield of lies, of betrayal." Ngumisi si Wirron Oleander. "Now, you can have your woman back, child." Wirron grinned at Kaizon. "Disiplinahin mo. That's the only way na mapapasayo ang babaeng 'yan." Mas humigpit ang pagkakayakap sa akin ni Kaizon.
