Third Person's Pov

The whole field trip was gone so fast. One week has passed by. Mikha and Aiah took their relationship at a slow pace. They are childhood bestfriends, but they are open to knowing more about each other even if they are already a couple, especially since one of them is a werewolf and the other is a hunter.

Currently, all eight of them are in the Papi House. Kakatapos lang ng game nila Aiah, and they decided to have a sleepover there. Gwen and Jho are the chefs for tonight.

"Colet tulungan natin sila Gwen," Mikha said.

"Tara, baka need nila ng help," Colet said.

Hinawakan agad ni Aiah at Maloi ang mga kamay ng mga girlfriend nila. Nanunuod silang anim sa sala habang nagluluto si Gwen at Jho.

"Umupo lang kayong dalawa," Maloi said.

"Wala ba kayo tiwala sa dalawa?" Aiah asked.

"Kay Gwen meron," Colet said.

"Pero kay Jho, wala," Mikha said.

"Hoy rinig ko kayo," Jho said.

"Magluto ka lang dyan, wag mo gamitin hearing powers mo," Colet said.

"Pag sa school, bunot na bunot ni Stacey si Jho. Dito sa Papi House, bunot niyo din siya," Sheena said.

"Tumingin lang kayo kay Jho, mapapatawa niya kayo agad," Mikha said.

"Tama nga naman si Mikha at Colet," Stacey said.

"Staku kampihan mo ako," Jho said.

"Jhoanna Christine Robles ayusin mo pag-hati ng karne at bilisan mo din," Gwen said.

"Ito na po head chef," Jho said.

Ang aga pa ng gabi pero tawang-tawa na kami.

"Shee nagiging oa din pala girlfriend mo," Aiah said.

"Mamaya lambingin ko si bebe," Sheena said.

"Stacey lambingin mo din si Jho para hindi maingay mamaya," Maloi said.

"Bahala siya," Stacey said.

Nililigawan na ni Jho si Stacey. The next day after the field trip, hinatid niya si Stacey sa bahay nila. Humingi agad ng permission from parents. Sa bahay pa mismo talaga ng family of hunter, ang lakas ng loob ng nag-iisang Jhoanna Robles. Napa-bilib naman parents, pumayag na din si Stacey.

"Love kaka-message ni mom, kakatapos nila mag-dinner. Close na close daw si Iris at Sophia," Aiah said.

"Pinag-sama ba naman sa iisang bahay ang feeling bata at ang bata," Mikha said.

Nasa bahay nila Aiah si Irish dahil ang parents ni Aiah ang nag-present na maging foster parents ni Iris habang inaayos pa ang papers for adoption. Ang parents ni Gwen ang mag-aadopt naman kay Iris, magkakaroon na siya ng little sister pero cousin in blood.

Kaya din nasa Arceta family si Iris ay mas safe siya. Imposible na may malakas ng loob na umatake sa bahay ng hunter.

"You did a great job at today's match, love," Mikha said.

"You always know the words to say," Aiah said.

"My favorite word to say to you is I believe in you," Mikha said.

"You never stop believing in me," Aiah said.

"You're the great captain of the archery team, my childhood bestfriend, and my girlfriend," Mikha said.

Mikha kissed Aiah's forehead.

"Lalanggamin na kami nito," Sheena said.

"Boang Shee," Aiah said.

"I'll just get something in my room," Mikha said.

"Samahan kita love," Aiah said.

"May kukunin lang ah, walang magtatagal," Stacey said.

"Jho lambingin mo daw si Stacey," Mikha said.

Naglakad na papunta sa second floor si Mikha at Aiah, rinig nila nag-babardagulan na naman ang jhocey. Pagkapasok sa room ni Mikha ay tinignan ni Aiah mga wall pictures.

"Love may vacant space sa gitna ng wall pictures mo," Aiah said.

"That's because I'm going to put these picture frame," Mikha said.

Mikha is now holding a picture frame with a drawing of the two of them.

"Surprise," Mikha said while smiling.

"Love, it's beautiful. When did you have the time to do it?" Aiah asked.

"During the past few weeks, na umiiwas ako sayo," Mikha said.

Sinabit na ni Mikha yung picture frame na may drawing.

"I don't know what to do in those times, so I tried drawing the two of us based on the picture we took during one of my games," Mikha said.

"You really love me that much," Aiah said while smiling.

"Because nothing makes sense without you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me in this world," Mikha said.

Aiah placed her hands on Mikha's shoulder, while Mikha placed her hands on Aiah's waist. They connected their foreheads.

"I want to see your eyes glow," Aiah said.

"Huh?" Mikha asked.

"Not only your eyes; I want to see you in partially lupine form," Aiah said.

"Are you sure? Really sure?" Mikha asked.

"You can hear my heartbeat. I'm serious, and I'm not afraid," Aiah said.

Mikha stepped away for a bit, then she's slowly transforming into her partially lupine form. Fangs, claws, pointed ears, and glowing eyes. She can't look at Aiah; she's looking at the ground.

Aiah is really not afraid. She walks closer to Mikha, then she holds her girlfriend's cheeks.

"Mikha Lim, look at me," Aiah said.

"I'm afraid, Aiah," Mikha said.

"Please look at me," Aiah said.

Mikha slowly looks at Aiah, who is already smiling.

"I'm a werewolf, an alpha," Mikha said.

"And I'm a hunter, an archer. You're beautiful, love," Aiah said.

Mikha smiled at what Aiah said. Nagkalapit mukha nila, Mikha initiated the kiss. Aiah responded with a slow pace and a passionate kiss between the couple. They stopped when Aiah's phone was ringing. It's Stacey calling.

Call Conversation:



Aiah ended the call and then gave Mikha a quick kiss on the cheek. Mikha is back to her human form.

"Let's go back to the others. You really like teasing Jho and Stacey," Mikha said.

"Stacey is the president of our tandem. So, I'm the president of jhocey," Aiah said while smiling.

"Ikaw talaga," Mikha said.

She pinched Aiah's nose, then they went back downstairs.

"Tagal naman ng dalawang captain," Stacey said.

"Ang sabi may kukunin lang," Maloi said.

"I forgot what I was going to take," Mikha said.

"Forgot or may ginawa lang," Sheena said.

"Imposible may nakakalimutan si Mikha," Colet said.

"Baka makalimutan ko na friend at vice captain ka Maria Nicolette," Mikha said.

"Piskit ka Janna, wag yang pangalan ko," Colet said.

"At least okay lang sakin marinig ang Janna," Mikha said.

"Hephep wag na mag-asaran, ready na ang dinner," Jho said.

"Okay Christine," Colet and Mikha said.

"Ganyanan ah," Jho said.

Lumapit si Jho kay Colet at Mikha, pasimpleng wrestling ang nangyare sa tatlo. The others smiled at those three.

"Mabuti nalang wala ako second name," Gwen said.

"Hayaan niyo na yang tatlo, kain na tayo," Stacey said.

"Hindi niyo aawatin yung tatlo?" Aiah asked.

"Sanay na si bebe sa kanila," Sheena said.

"Wag ka mag-alala Aiah, hindi gumagamit ng powers si Jho at Mikha," Maloi said.

"Kahit si Maloi sanay na din sa tatlong yan," Gwen said.

Nauna na pumunta sa dining area sila Aiah. After a few seconds, sumunod na yung tatlo. Bicol Express and Sinigang ang ulam. Kahit ano topic nila habang kumakain.

"Wag sana mag-overtime sa lecture yung terror na prof bukas," Sheena said.

"Hindi naman siguro, masasaktuhan din natin start ng game bukas," Aiah said.

Nilagyan ni Aiah ng ulam plato ni Mikha, who is smiling.

"Nawawala angas Mikhs," Jho said.

"Ikain mo nalang yan Jho," Mikha said.

"Nag-sisimula na naman sila. Titigil kayo o titigil?" Maloi said.

"Kalma uyab," Colet said.

Tiklop din si Jho at Mikha kay Colet. After nila kumain ay nag-bato bato pick ang papi line kung sino maghuhugas. Talo si Colet at Mikha. Habang naghuhugas ang dalawa ay nasa sala naman mga iba. Unlike Jho, who used her hearing senses, Mikha doesn't use her powers for eavesdropping.

"So bakit ang tagal niyo sa taas, Ms. Arceta?" Stacey asked.

"Talaga hindi mo titigilan si Aiah," Maloi said.

"Of course, president of mikhaiah tandem ako," Stacey said.

"Mikha placed a picture frame of a drawing of us on the wall," Aiah said.

"Ah, that drawing, ginagawa niya yun after she passes by your house," Gwen said.

"Pinapanuod lang namin siya habang naglalaro ng games," Jho said.

"Thank you for being there by her side," Aiah said.

"We are a family in our pack, but we, the papi line, are also a family," Gwen said.

"Speaking of a pack, I wanna ask about the kind of eye colors of a werewolf," Aiah said.

"I guess Mikha has shown you her alpha eyes," Stacey said.

"I told her I want to see her in partially lupine form," Aiah said.

"What's your reaction?" Jho asked.

"I'm happy seeing her in that form; I was not scared," Aiah said.

"Our partially lupine forms are all the same, except the color of the eyes," Gwen said.



"We already know red is an alpha. Bebe and Jho's eyes glow gold," Sheena said.

"Gold means we didn't take any innocent human life," Gwen said.

"What happens if you take an innocent human life?" Aiah asked.

"Our eyes would turn blue, like Kuya Enzo," Gwen said.

"His eyes were blue before he turned to an alpha, then he turned back to beta after using his powers to heal Maloi from mistletoe. Mikha was supposed to do that, but Kuya Enzo didn't let her sacrifice the alpha power that she just earned when we saved Maloi from hunters before the game," Jho said.

"Wait, when did that happen?" Aiah asked.

"Jho bunganga mo," Maloi said.

"Ikwento niyo na habang busy pa naghuhugas yung dalawa," Gwen said.

"It was during the night before one of their games. I was kidnapped by hunters who we encountered during summer break," Maloi said.

Gwen and Jho helped Maloi tell what happened that time. Aiah, look at Mikha's back.

"She's willing to do anything to protect everyone," Aiah said.

"Except the taking of someone's life part. Mikha would never do that. She would rather think before taking actions, just like the past problem with Kuya Bryan," Jho said.

"I'm lucky for having her, not just as my childhood bestfriend, but also as my girlfriend," Aiah said.

"We think she's the one who's lucky for having you," Maloi said.

"Why?" Aiah asked.

"You're her anchor, Aiah," Maloi said.

"Mikha told us that before her anchor was family, but she discovered that you're her true anchor," Gwen said.

"A werewolf's anchor is that which we can concentrate on to keep ourselves human, especially during full moon," Jho said.

"If Aiah is Mikha's anchor, ano sa inyong dalawa?" Stacey asked.

"Mine is Sheena," Gwen said.

"You, Stacey Sevilleja," Jho said.

"Jho seryoso yung tanong ko," Stacey said.

"Seryoso din ako Stacey. Na-realized din namin ni Gwen," Jho said.

"Ang seryoso niyo ata dito," Mikha said.

"Wala lang love, I just asked the different colors of a werewolf. They told me about blue eyes, just like Kuya Enzo," Aiah said.

Aiah changed the topic because, deep inside, kinikilig siya sa nalaman niya kay Mikha. Na-gets naman nila Gwen ang pag-iba ng topic. Mikha and Colet sat beside their girlfriends.

"Kuya Enzo's blue eyes," Mikha said.

"Is it okay to ask why your brother's eyes are like that?" Aiah asked.

"Of course, we need din namin maging open sa inyo mga hunters," Mikha said.

Mikha told them how her brother's eyes are blue. He needed to kill his girlfriend, who was bitten by their uncle, Javier Lim. Her girlfriend doesn't want to be a werewolf and asked Enzo to just kill her. He did a mercy killing even if he didn't really want to do it.

After telling the story, all of them went upstairs to sleep early. Mag-bebe time lang ang macolet at hambebe, sigurado bardagulan bago matulog ang jhocey. Ang mikhaiah naman ay cuddle time.

"Hindi ko masisisi si Kuya Enzo sa ginawa niya, her girlfriend was also a hunter. There was an old rule if a hunter was bitten by a werewolf, they should kill themselves," Aiah said.

"Meron pa din ba yung rule?" Mikha asked.

"Wala na, dad and I made a new rule. Nous protégeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protége eux-mêmes," Aiah said.

"We protect those who cannot protect themselves," Mikha said.

"Wait, alam mo mag-french?" Aiah asked.

"I already know French; I was just teasing the others when I asked about the meaning of the note on the bento box. So it means you're the one who gave it to me," Mikha said while smiling.

Tumalikod agad ng higa si Aiah kay Mikha. She's feeling shy.

"Thank you for the note, love," Mikha said.

"Because you're always the best. Even as a childhood bestfriend, team captain, friend to the papi or kikay line, and now an alpha," Aiah said.

Mikha gave Aiah a back hug.

"They told me what happened at the health center. Please always be careful, Mikha Lim. Just always come home safely to me," Aiah said.

"I will, Aiahkins. You're my home," Mikha said.
