Third Person's Pov

A few months passed by after the incident. It's been peaceful for Aiah and the others. They had been busy studying for their final exams.

Aiah, Stacey, and Sheena are also monitoring the next generation of players in their archery team before graduating.

It's the same with Mikha, the papi line, and Maloi, who are busy monitoring the volleyball team. Colet passes the vice captain role to Via, while Mikha passes the team captain role to Sophia.



"Can we eat already?" Jho asked.

"Jho, you still have more to read," Mikha said.

Currently they are in the study area just outside of their department building, all eight of them.

"I think I would rather go play volleyball than study," Jho said.

"Stacey, oh," Mikha said.

"Jho libre kita mamaya ng balut basta mabasa mo lahat yan," Stacey said.

"Yes, princess," Jho said.

"Kay Stacey ka lang talaga susunod agad," Mikha said.

"Mikha Lim, continue reading your reviewer too," Aiah said.

"Yes, love," Mikha said.

"Tiklop din naman sa girlfriend ang nag-iisang Mikhaela Lim," Jho said.

"Ingay niyo Jho, Mikhs," Colet said.

"Si Mikha kasi," Jho said.

"Si Jho kasi," Mikha said.

"Tumigil kayong dalawa. Nag-chat si Coach Mickey, pinapapunta ang papi line sa gym," Maloi said.

"May nagawa ba kayo kasalanan sa coach niyo?" Aiah asked.

"Hala wala love," Mikha said.

"First time kayong apat na pinatawag ng sabay," Aiah said.

"Promise love, wala ako ginawa," Mikha said.

"Mas lalo ako," Gwen said.

"Mas lalo din ako." Colet said.

"Teka teka wala ako kasalanan kay coach ah," Jho said.

"Basta pumunta na kayo sa gym," Maloi said.

"Opo uyab aalis na kami," Colet said.

Nag-aayos ng gamit si Mikha habang naka-tingin pa din sa kanya si Aiah.

"Aiahkins, focus on your reviewer," Mikha said.

"Message me if tatagal kayo kausap si Coach Mickey," Aiah said.

"Yes, you can wait for us here," Mikha said.

"Let's eat when you get back, love," Aiah said.

"What are you craving later?" Mikha asked.

"Ramen, please," Aiah said.

"Okay, ramen it is for my Aiahkins," Mikha said while smiling.

"Ehem nandito pa po kami," Jho said.

Mikha glared at Jho.

"Oops, time to run," Jho said.

Jho grabbed her bag, then ran to the gym. Napatawa naman si Mikha, pero kinurot siya ni Aiah.

"Mikhs pinag-tritripan mo na naman si Jho sa ganyan tingin mo," Gwen said.

"Bumabawi lang sa kanya. Treat ko kayo later ng ramen," Mikha said.

Mikha kissed Aiah's forehead before going to the gym with Colet and Gwen. Nasa loob na ng office si Jho.

"Coach pinatawag niyo po kami," Mikha said.

"Yes, this is a short notice," Coach Mickey said.

"Short notice?" Gwen asked.

"Another powerhouse team wants to have a practice match with our team," Coach Mickey said.

"That's good po; it's going to be a great experience for the team," Colet said.

"We're going to watch the start of the leadership of Sophia as the next team captain," Mikha said.

"They have one request," Coach Mickey said.

"I have a bad feeling about the request," Jho said.

"They want the papi line to play, especially Mikha to be the team captain," Coach Mickey said.

"Coach, what is the team's name?" Mikha asked.

Coach Mickey said the opponent's team name. He said the match will be on the weekend. The papi line went out of the office and sat on the bleachers. Colet felt the tension from her three friends.

"Is there something wrong with their team?" Colet asked.

"We're familiar with the team, especially their team captain," Gwen said.

"Looks like we're going to see a jealous Aiah," Jho said.

"By the words of Jho, I think Mikha and their team captain have some connection," Colet said.

"Their team captain is a werewolf, who we met when we were kids," Mikha said.

"And she likes Mikha," Gwen said.

Gwen and Jho pat Mikha's shoulder.

"I'm not worried about the match; I'm more worried about Aiah," Mikha said.

"Jasmine Therese Henry, Jaz is her nickname," Jho said.

"If she's clingy, then we'll really see a more jealous Aiah," Colet said.

"I'm going to be so dead," Mikha said.

"Good luck, Lim," Colet said.

Colet pats Mikha's shoulder.

"Very supportive, mga pag-pat niyo ah," Mikha said.

"Wag mo na isipin yan Mikhs, tara nalang kain ramen. Narinig ko ramen kanina," Jho said.

"Talaga ginamit mo na naman powers mo," Colet said.

"Ang tagal niyo eh," Jho said.

"Matagal o talagang gutom ka lang?" Gwen asked.

"Gutom, tara na guys," Jho said.

They went back to the study area. Their girlfriends just finished studying.

"Ready for ramen, love?" Mikha asked.

"Yes, love. Ang bilis niyo ata," Aiah said.

"Sinabi lang ni coach na may gusto makipag-practice match sa team at need kami papi line maglaro," Mikha said.

"Maglaro kayo love, need pa din ng guidance ni Sophia bilang next team captain," Aiah said.

"Yes, love. I'll guide your sister before we graduate," Mikha said.

They grabbed their things and then went to the ramen restaurant.

"Love ano gusto mo na ramen?" Mikha asked.

"I want miso, but I also want to taste tonkotsu," Aiah said.

"Pick miso while the tonkotsu is for me, and I'll share it with you," Mikha said.

Aiah's smiling with joy that she will also taste the tonkotsu. Mikha fixed Aiah's hair. Ramdam niya mapang-asar na mga tingin nila Colet.

"Pumili na kayo," Mikha said.

"Nakapili na kami captain Lim," Colet said.

After a few minutes, dumating na mga order nila.

"Sa weekend pala practice match niyo, coach messaged me, but he didn't tell me the opponent's team name," Maloi said.

Maloi knows Jaz too. She met her once; muntik niya na naka-away dahil akala ni Jaz na may gusto si Maloi kay Mikha.

Nag-usap kanina ang papi line na sabihin nalang kay Maloi bukas sa practice.

"Kaya siguro gusto kayo maglaro dahil malakas ang kalaban," Sheena said.

"Bebe isa din na powerhouse team," Gwen said.

"Well, let's play our last practice match and don't forget to enjoy the game," Mikha said.

"Mikha's right. Even if they are a powerhouse team, you guys have something that they don't have," Aiah said.

"What is it, Aiah?" Jho asked.

"The volleyball team is a family. You have each other's back," Aiah said while smiling.

Aiah holds Mikha's hand.

"All for one," Aiah said.

"One for all," They all said at the same time.



They continued to eat happily. Hinatid ni Mikha si Aiah pauwi gamit car niya na BMW convertible. Hindi motorcycle ang gamit niya ngayon.

"Himala car gamit mo ngayon love," Aiah said.

"Under maintenance si red," Mikha said.

Naisipan ni Mikha bigyan ng name ang Ducati motorcycle niya, si Aiah nag-suggest ng name na red.

"Mabuti pa ang amo may healing powers pero yung motor wala," Aiah said.

Napatawa naman si Mikha sa joke ni Aiah.

"Pina-improved ko engine, and it's been a while since I used this car," Mikha said.

"I think this car needs a name," Aiah said.

"Alam ko na ano naisip mo na name," Mikha said.

"What?" Aiah asked.

"Blue, because the color of the car is blue," Mikha said.

"Wrong, pero isa yan sa nauna ko naisip," Aiah said.

"So what are we going to name my car?" Mikha asked.

"Alpha, because this belongs to the alpha of our pack," Aiah said while smiling.

Mikha quickly smiled at what her girlfriend said.

"Baka mag-tampo na si Red Niyan," Mikha said.

"Red is a cool name too. Not because the color of your ducati is red, but because of the color of your hair," Aiah said.

"Very smart, Ms. Arceta," Mikha said.

Mikha pinched Aiah's cheeks before going out of her car to open the door on Aiah's side. They have arrived in front of Arceta's house.

Aiah was about to walk to her house, but she hugged Mikha first, who hugged her back.

"My hunter needs a hug," Mikha said.

"Yes, this hunter is tired from studying for the exams," Aiah said.

"You can sleep early, love," Mikha said.

"How about you?" Aiah asked.

"I'll study for a bit then go to sleep," Mikha said.

"Someone said three werewolves are playing games until 1 am," Aiah said.

That someone is Gwen. Last night the three werewolves, Mikha, Colet, and Jho, decided to play games after studying.

"Well, we kinda lost track of the time last night, love," Mikha said while smiling.

"Don't smile, Mikha Lim. You may have werewolf powers, but you still need to have enough sleep," Aiah said.

Lagot tinawag na ng Mikha Lim, hindi love.

"Sorry, love. I'll go to sleep after studying," Mikha said.

"Siguraduhin mo Mikha Lim, especially you have practice for the practice match this weekend," Aiah said.

"Yes po, can I have another hug?" Mikha asked.

Aiah pinched Mikha's nose before hugging her.

"Goodnight, my archer," Mikha said.

"Goodnight, my alpha," Aiah said.

Mikha made sure to see that Aiah gets inside the house before she leaves.

When Mikha got home to the Papi House, not only the papi line was inside but also Maloi. Nasa sala sila except kay Colet na nagluluto ng dinner.

"Nahalata kayo noh?" Mikha asked.

"Si boss Colet ang nahalata," Gwen said.

"Mikhaela Lim, sit down," Maloi said.

Naka-cross ang arms ni Maloi. Umupo agad si Mikha sa gitna ni Gwen at Jho.

"Bakit si Colet hindi kasama?" Jho asked.

"Kayong tatlo ang kilala si Jaz," Maloi said.

"We didn't expect that she would request that," Gwen said.

"The four of us know that she is a bit obsessed with Mikha," Maloi said.

"Maybe she changed," Mikha said.

"Mikhaela Janna Lim, kung ako muntik na naka-away si Jaz. Paano pa kaya si Aiah na girlfriend mo and especially a hunter," Maloi said.

"Well, you guys are my backup," Mikha said while smiling.

Napa-facepalm si Maloi. Lumapit na si Colet kila Mikha.

"This is a small problem to normal humans, but in terms of a girlfriend hunter and obsessed werewolf who likes our alpha, Mikha might have to use her werewolf power to order Jaz," Colet said.

"What do you mean?" Mikha asked.

Napa-facepalm din si Colet.

"Halata hindi kayo nagbabasa ng book na binigay ni Coach Mickey Satin," Colet said.

Coach Mickey gave the four of them a copy of an updated book about werewolves.

"Hindi ko pa tapos basahin," Gwen said.

"I only read half of it," Mikha said.

"I think I haven't started reading it," Jho said.

"I'm the new werewolf here, but the only one who finished reading the book," Colet said.

"Just tell us what you want to say," Jho said.

"What I meant about Mikha is she can use her alpha power to make Jaz transform back to human form in case she wants to fight Aiah," Colet said.

"Oh, that. I already know that," Mikha said.

Colet punched Mikha's shoulder.

"Alam mo naman pala eh," Colet said.

"At least sabihin natin kila Aiah ang situation. Kaysa malagot ka pa sa weekend," Maloi said.

"Baka ma-distract siya sa pag-review," Mikha said.

Tinignan ni Maloi ng matatalim na tingin si Mikha.

"I'll tell her tomorrow when they watch our practice," Mikha said.

"Good," Maloi said.

The five of them ate dinner first before studying. Jho studied in her room while Colet and Maloi are studying in Colet's room since sa Papi House din matutulog ngayong gabi si Maloi.

Kasama ni Mikha si Gwen nag-review sa sala. Nag-vibrate phone niya. Aiah is calling through video call.

Video Call Conversation:



Aiah and Mikha talked for a bit more before they ended the call. Gwen is teasing Mikha.

"May pa-Yes ma'am ka," Mikha said.

"She's just concerned, Mikhs. All of us know you're really smart, but enough sleep is not in your vocabulary," Gwen said.

"Gwen, you know me since we were kids. Even when my parents were still alive, they always caught me reading books until 1 am," Mikha said.

"Even if you're an alpha now, enough sleep is still needed. Hindi mo kailangan lagi mag-puyat para bantayan kami," Gwen said.

Mikha took a deep breath while Gwen patted her head.

"Everything is calm now, Mikhs. It's time to focus on the future," Gwen said.

"You're right. I'll pursue my plan to be a pro player," Mikha said.

"We'll watch you and Colet play," Gwen said.

"You and Jho are really going to pursue your dream," Mikha said.

"Well, we can still play if you need us. After all, we're the papi line," Gwen said.

"If I need other help besides volleyball, would you do it?" Mikha asked.

"Of course, especially I'm your cousin. All for one," Gwen said.

"One for all," Mikha said.

Both of them smiled at each other.

The next day, after their classes, the eight of them went to the gym. Aiah, Stacey, and Sheena are sitting on the bleachers while watching the volleyball team prepare for practice.

"We're finally graduating after the exams," Sheena said.

"I'll pursue being a model and an artist," Stacey said.

"Graphic designer and photographer for me," Aiah said.

"Same ako with Aiah," Sheena said.

"Hanggang dulo sasamahan mo talaga ako Shee," Aiah said.

Aiah pinched Sheena's cheeks.

"Sasamahan ka niyan para may cookies din siya every work niyo," Stacey said.

"The best kasi gawa nila na cookies ni Maloi pero favorite ko kasi gawa ni Aiah. Pero seryoso na sagot, gusto ko lang talaga din samahan si Aiah," Sheena said.

Everything is calm now. They are now focused on their future careers.

"Aiah, nag-message si Ma'am Ica. Tawag daw tayo ngayon sa practice area," Stacey said.

"Now na talaga? Wait mag-paalam muna ako kay Mikha," Aiah said.

Aiah went close to Mikha, who is getting the volleyballs in the storage room.

"Love iwan ko sa bag mo mga cookies. Tawag kami ni Ma'am Ica," Aiah said.

"Sige love, sandali lang ba kayo?" Mikha asked.

"Siguro, biglaan lang din kami tinawag," Aiah said.

"Baka may kasalanan kayo tatlo. Wait, joke lang po," Mikha said.

Kukurutin na sana ni Aiah si Mikha.

"Can I have a hug first?" Mikha asked.

Aiah smiled seeing Mikha requesting, like a baby, a hug. She hugged her girlfriend, then kissed her nose.

"I love you, Mikha Lim," Aiah said.

"I love you too, Aiahkins," Mikha said.
