“Miss Albaya, would you not want to climb up?” The gorgeous man with those deep-seated eyes asked Grazziena with his expression dancing with amusement.
“Err, I’m sorry.” Grazziena almost stumbled as she tried now to climb up the float where the grinning god of masculinity is standing. Grazziena could not remove her eyes from the man.
Something inside Grazziena keeps on whispering and wobbling. The man’s scent of a cool breeze soothed into her nostrils, making her mind went wild. Then she heard an excited whisper that lingered into her heart. “MATE.”
Grazziena felt incredibly confused about what she is feeling and hearing. She has read some paranormal stories about werewolves written by good foreign authors and she could not imagine that such fictional stories would happen to her. She can understand the word “MATE” based on what she read. What she felt are somehow similar to the descriptions of those foreign authors, when a werewolf suddenly found his or her mate or one true love for ordinary humans.
“Do you always think that deep?” Suddenly, the perfectly gorgeous man beside Grazziena asked, his eyes are squinting with a ray of amusement flashing through them.
“Oh, I’m sorry Sir.” Then suddenly, Grazziena recognized the man. Goodness, how idiot she could be not to recognize at once their newly elected Provincial Governor Draeko Villadela! She gave herself a good defense on this aspect ‘though. “Well I just saw him in posters and never in person before,” she murmured smirking.
“And do you usually murmured like that?” The young governor asked again to Grazziena’s embarrassment.
Grazziena knows her cheeks are growing red already. Good thing she is wearing make-up; the evidence of her embarrassment will not be visible to anyone’s eyes, not even to Governor Draeko.
“Oh, it was nothing Governor; I just remembered something. Apology, only now that I recognized you.” She tried to smile apologetically.
“That’s awful.” He smirked but then he laughed thereafter. He was just trying to tease the newly crowned beauty queen of their province to make her feel relax throughout the parade.

Grazziena could still hear the ringing in her ears of that someone’s whispers inside her body. She is getting annoyed but at the same time confused. “Hah, I really need to visit a psychic or a sorceress who could help me with my condition,” she thought.
It has been a mission for Grazziena to research and asks simply with their old folks in their place if they know someone who could help those persons who are probably under a spell or curse. As of this moment, however, she could not really find yet such kind of human being whom she could trust and at the same time can help her to be cured.
It has been hard for her for almost four months already and having this kind of feeling now with this man beside her; Grazziena could tell that her every day will be more difficult. She sighed unintentionally.
The young governor suddenly looked at him, surprised. “Hey Ms. Albaya, you are sighing already; are you tired, hungry, or whatever?”
Again Grazziena fell into the pit of embarrassment. She looked at him but suddenly she froze, mesmerized, drawn to him as if his body has a magnet.
“Ms. Albaya, don’t look at me like that here, where the eyes of the public are looking at us. I might not control myself and ravish you now with my kisses.” The young governor whispered while his eyes are intensely looking at her red lips, which is a bit open and enthralling.
IGrazziena has been frozen. She felt herself quivered as the governor’s scent filled her lungs. Something within her gallops and jumped as if triggered by such a smell. She was drawn into his eyes and his inviting lips made her quivered more.“Sister Teresa, I repeat stopped looking at me like that or else, I will devour your lips right here, right now.” Governor Draeko whispered once more, his hand reached for Grazziena’s hand.As if awakened from her deep sleep, Grazziena back off. She made two steps backward away from the seducing gaze of the young Governor. “I am not Sister Teresa.” All she could murmur.Governor Draeko made a chuckle. “The reincarnation of Sister Teresa then,” he said teasing the newly crowned beauty Queen.Grazzien
I In a village situated at the heart of Mt. Reveree; Lumaro the son of the Alpha of the Cold Mountain Pack will soon celebrate his twentieth birthday. He will be the next Alpha and his father’s challenge for him is to find his mate, soon to be the Luna of their pack. Once he found her; only then that he can replace his father as the new Alpha of the Cold Mountain Pack. “What else could I do father? I have visited every other pack’s full moon parties to find my mate but I failed. I cannot feel any connection with those numbers of the unmated she-wolves that I have met. Could it be that my mate is still yet to be borne?” Lumaro asked his Alpha father with so much frustration. Suddenly, Alpha Maro remembered something. Didn’t he and his best friend Gregor make a pack and a prayer to the moon goddess that should, the Luna will give birth to a daughter, they wished her to be the mate of his son Lumaro, who was just one year old at that time? Alpha Maro has
I Lumaro tried to look further for his mate. He traveled in nearby pack villages, even in the rouge pack but he could feel the sign of his mate; he could not even smell her. After almost one month of traveling to different places looking for his mate, Lumaro went home feeling like a failure. He was not able to find his mate yet. “My son, I need to tell you something; I guess this is the most opportune time to let you know this thing.” It was Lumaro’s Alpha father who has spoken when he saw Lumaro arrived with a depressed expression. Lumaro suddenly looked at his father, with eyes on their inquisitive form. “What is it Father?” he asked curiously. “It is about your possible mate.” Lumaro’s Father replied as he sat on the wooden, well-sculptured chair in their living area. “I am excited to listen now my Alpha Father.” Lumaro also sat on the wooden chair in front of his Father, readying himself to listen. “Your possible mat
I Grazziena received a bouquet of red roses early in the morning. It has been delivered by a known flower delivery shop from the city. Surprised, Grazziena looked at the words written on the attached card. The note written in the attached card said, “To the woman who is giving me beautiful mornings just by thinking about her. . . See you this afternoon at our hotel Ms. Grazziena… Waiting with love, Jervin Ty.” Grazziena became uneasy. In a recent F******k live interview with a reporter from a local branch of a known TV Station, Jervin Ty vocally admitted that it was him who insisted to his father to invite the reigning Ms. Albaya 2020 to grace the opening of Ty’s second-biggest hotel in the province. When asked by the local reporter why he insisted so, Jervin Ty smiled warmly and pointed his finger on his heart part then softly said, “She hit me here.” The reporter’s eyes grew big and giggled as she looked at the camera, winked, and bade goodbye.
I And they said for a man to gain more allies and powers, he needs to know the real meaning of the word, “Control”. Control means, not only manipulating people to follow you but more so, manipulating yourself, your emotion to never burst out in anger, hatred, jealousy, or any other bad emotions in front of other people. This is what Governor Draeko has in mind when he saw the son of the Hotel Magnate and Business Tycon, Ty holding the hand of Ms. Albaya 2020 while helping her get out of his Mercedez Benz. It never occurred in him that this young man of the Ty family would be so persistent, to the extent of fetching Grazziena personally from her home going to the hotel. This is his problem; he cannot just do that right now. He cannot just go to Grazziena’s house without a valid or legitimate purpose being the Governor of Albaya Province. What would be a good purpose to visit her and her family using his Governor position? That he needs to think deeply. He cann
I She opened her eyes when she felt the nearness and the hard breathing of Governor Draeko. Unable to control herself, she touched the heart part of Governor Draeko. She even managed to caress it gently and then innocently checked on the expression of the young Governor, who is now closing the gap between them. “Grazziena, I really like you. At the onset that I saw you there on the ramp, I felt something different and I want you to be mine.” Governor Draeko whispered as his eyes are closely focused on Grazziena’s innocent-looking face. Grazziena kept her silence. She did not know what to say actually. Her heartbeats overwhelmed her senses. When Governor Draeko’s lips slowly came closer to her own lips, her eyes automatically shut and her lips trembled. She felt nervous at the same time excited. What could be the taste of the lips of a young and gorgeous Governor? She thought and then something inside her willowed with joy. Seeing that Grazziena cl
I Lumaro consulted his Alpha father where to go next. He tried to travel again in another pack’s land but to no avail. Sadly, he was not able yet to find his mate. “Father, I’m tired of looking for my mate. Where can I find her?” Lumaro with a weary heart asked his father Roilo, who suddenly brought his mind into the past. Alpha Roilo, who was then the Beta of Alpha Gregor clearly heard it when the most feared witch Tuthaara curse the daughter of their Alpha and Luna at that time. “Your father rejected me despite all the love I showered him; you, their only heir will suffer my final curse to your pack. You will be thrown to a far-away land where wolves are considered deadly animals and after the day of your adulthood, you will shift every midnight into your most dreadful wolf form that the wolves’ world and even the human’s world will ever see! Let my curse be done to you!” “Far away land… in the human world Lumaro! You can find your mate in t
I Lumaro can still visibly describes to himself the she-wolf in his dream last night. If she is his mate, he did not know how he could take her when she is in her wolf form. But she is beautiful as a human; too beautiful to be rejected. A thin smile peeped through the glistening eyes of Lumaro. “Father, it is time for me to travel again… into the human world,” Lumaro told his father the next day. He is fully decided to find the woman in his dream. He sat on the chair at their Pack House’s dining hall and requested for a cup of coffee and waffles from one of their maid omegas. His Alpha Father glanced at Lumaro whose eyes are showing some signs of excitement. “Why did you decide suddenly to travel to the human world now?” “Because I saw her father; I saw the cursed daughter of the former Alpha and Luna of our pack,” Lumaro replied smiling. “How?” Curiosity covered the face of the Alpha father of Lumaro while waiting for his son's reply.
