Chapter 15
Lucas’s POV
"I DON'T WANT to see him ..." I uttered a little bit upset. Could not hide my emotion.
Then a little while after I felt Maxine’s presence besides me.
"O-are you okay?" I heard her asked.
I did not budge. I just stared at the sky while closing my eyes. the corners of my eyes also started to heat up. I couldn’t stop the flow of the past in my mind.
"Do it, Fernan!" Grandpa shouted orders to Tito. It sat in the silver chair in front with the supposed elders. while at the bottom of the hall were people lined up on each side no’n, wearing black heel -length clothes. Its faces are covered so that only a part of its mouth can be seen, like messengers of death.
in the middle stood Tito Fernan, fear and apprehension on his face. And behind it was a woman just the same age as Mommy bound with both hands, trembling and crying hopelessly. I had no idea what was going on inside.
“I can’t, Papa! Just let her go ..she hasn’t something to do with this! ” Titus shouted. “It was all my fault! I was the one who betrayed Ella .. ”
I tightened my grip on the door. So that woman is his mistress?
"You are a goddamn jerk, Fernan!" Grandpa's voice rumbled, eyes glazed with anger. Scary. "Are you gonna kill her, or I, myself will do it for you ..?" '
“I won’t allow anybody to hurt her. Not even you, Papa! ”
"She's a damn human, Fernan!" Grandpa roared. It's scary to listen to. Grandpa's eyes turned blood. its snout became extinct and feathers grew on its face, and all over its body. Its size and height are even double, which is a reason to damage the coverings that were worn in the past, the nails on the hand also fell out as if it could kill anyone who was hit by it.
"I love her ..." Tito replied firmly, at the same time it also changed its appearance. Became a monster like Grandpa.
In an instant they wrestled. I can't even see them so fast ..
..
...
... until Tito fell bloody ..
I gasped with horror, trembling. I was unaware of the tears falling in my eyes. Back in my infancy I witnessed how Grandpa took the life of his own Son --- until I felt hands covering my eyes.
"Mom?" garagal ko. I was still trembling with fear.
“What are you doing here?” its question. "You shouldn't be seen by your Grandfather."
“But what was that Mom ..? How could he kill his own Son? ”
“Enough, baby. Someday you’ll understand why your Grandpa has to do it .. ”he hugged me tightly and stroked my back as if to alleviate my fear.
"Lucas ..." I heard Maxine call again. I didn’t response. I just found myself leaning on his shoulder at the same time as the fluid dripped from his eyes. to this day the memory of that is still fresh in my mind. Just because I want to forget ..
..with my whole being.
“Don’t leave yet, please ..” I beg you. Strange, but this is the first time I let someone else see my weakness ..
..and to think that Maxine is a human.
"Stop. I'm not leaving. ”
At least I didn't go down without explaining myself first.
IT IS past eight o'clock in the evening when I take Maxine to her place of residence.
"Thanks for the delivery, huh." she smiled at me. It dropped the motor. I returned his smile.
"Thank you also." I replied.
“All right, I'm in. take care."
It was about to turn around when I remembered something.
"Uhm, wait!" I stopped Maxine.
"Why?"
I got off and opened the u-box of the motor.
"Here ..." I handed him a paper bag.
"What is this?"
"That's for you ..." I smiled. "Let's just say incentive for you to do your job well."
She frowned.
“Do not open it yet. Just look inside. ” I added.
"Okay .."
I slightly ruffled her hair but frowned at me and wiped my hand.
"You made me a dog."
I laughed at what he said. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye Maxine .. ”
It nodded in response and went inside.
"GOOD NIGHT, Sir ..." the guard greeted when I opened the gate. I just arrived from town. I took off my helmet and looked at it. "Have they arrived yet?"
"Yes, with your Grandfather."
I immediately went to the garage and parked the motor.
I was about to enter the mansion but it failed. Why would I go to the front, if I could go up to the third floor of my room? Tsk, why not? I barely backed away to b-um-welo. in an instant I reached the veranda of the room without difficulty. I immediately took off my top and went to the bathroom.
I went to my wardrobe after I took a shower, only a towel covered my genitals.
"It's been a long time, Grandson .."
I turned violently in the direction of the veranda. I folded my hands to face the source of the voice.
“Do I give you permission to come in?” I asked my Grandfather in a cold tone. But it didn't seem to hear anything at my suggestion, but it laughed and went inside.
“Oh come on, you jackass, is that how you’re gonna welcome your Grandfather?”
I smirked at him as I crossed my arms. I don’t care about my nakedness.
“I'm not happy to see you. Why did you go, my dear Grandpa? ” my sarcastic question.
it shrugged and stepped even closer to me. “It’s because, I’ve missed everyone of you. You are the only rest of my family. Don’t you miss me? ”
Watta crap!
"And do you want me to believe that?" I laughed at the question. “Come on Lolo, we both know why you’re here. and I’m telling you, you can’t make me do what you want. ”
“You are still as stubborn as before. But let me remind you, Grandson .. no matter how you wanted to escape from it .. it won’t change the fact that you’re a CANIS .. ”
I looked at him in the eyes. "I'm sure I can't change that, but I won't be like you."
Grandpa's eyes were cold on me, and so was I on him.
"I want to rest." usal ko. I want to let her know I don't want to see her.
"Let's see how stubborn you are." later Grandpa said, the expression on his face blank. He passed me afterwards and left the room. Depressed I sat on the side of the bed. The Alpha is starting to manipulate me, and I hate it.
Maxine’s POV
aLAS Eight has passed and it's a good thing Mom didn't ask why I stayed up late, by any chance, I don't know what my alibi is.
After I did the ritual every night I went up to the deck to rest but I remembered the paper bag that Lucas had given me earlier.
"Wow!" my ejaculating eyes widened when I looked at the contents of the paper bag, an iPhone Princess plus.
My God, this cellphone is so expensive! Shakz, I want to faint!
"Anyari sayo?" I heard Mom's question as she was already lying down.
“W-no,‘ Mom. ” I lied once hiding the phone under the pillow.
“Oh, you're young for your theme. Go to sleep and you still have class tomorrow. ”
Okay fine, I squatted without sound.
“Yes,‘ Mom! ” I replied satisfied with the ease. I lay down and picked up the new phone again.
Seriously, I thought it was just a dream. What could that arrogant person eat? But darn, I don’t want to be hypocritical. I'm so happy!

Author’s POV
ON THE veranda Luke passed down the next morning. the young man couldn't help but feel excited despite the confrontation he had with his Abuelo last night, because he would see Maxine again.
MEANWHILE, Maxine had just come out of the gate from inside the mansion. in fact, she came in at seven-thirty so the girl of the past six o'clock was so confused that she woke up, she couldn't even have breakfast in a hurry. But his confusion was replaced by panic when he reached Luke outside the gate.
"Morning ..!" the young man greeted with a smile.
"Y-are you still there?"
“Not really. Hop on "
Maxine quietly complied and did not protest further.
"Thanks for the phone you gave me, huh!" Maxine said wrapping her arms around the young man's waist.
"Did you like it?"
“Sobra. Wait, how much is that?
"Don't ... you might get upset."
"G-gano'n ..."
Shake as the young man started his motor.
FROM ‘not far away’ Maxine descended instead of right in front of the University.
"Thank you for the delivery ..." he whispered as he got down.
"Why here?" Luke asked frowning.
hand over head Maxine's face seemed hesitant to tell Luke why. The truth is that he is misunderstood, because some students passing in their direction are looking at them.
"Gosh, he's handsome!" said one of the three female students going to the University.
"Yeah right, is that a student here?" He whispered in the middle, his corn -colored hair over his shoulder.
"I don't think so .." replied the curly hair on the left side. "But look who's with him, isn't that from COM?"
Maxine rolled her eyes as if something was wrong with what the woman had said.
"Yes. Seriously, kalerke ‘yong taste niya sa babae ..” said the woman on the right side with a laugh. "Honey ..."
"Wait, you don't want Hevo to see me deliver you?" Lucas moaned when Maxine didn't answer.
"Oh no ---."
"Don't say you're still meeting there?" the young man grabbed what the girl was going to say. "Are you breaking that rule?"
All Maxine did was shake at what Lucas said. Eh, not really.
"It's not like that ---."
"Then what?"
"B-maybe the students will think there ... what ..." Maxine whispered, scratching her head again.
"Is that your boyfriend?" Luke answered, it shrugged. "So what?"
"It's Harrison ..."
"What's the matter with that --- you're embarrassing me ?!" Luke asked incredulously, he also barely laughed.
"You're thinking wrong." Maxine justified. One of the reasons is that he is also ashamed that Meghan might see him and tempt him. It may even make him angry and call him a liar. they even talked about the Harrison's secret. He didn’t tell Meghan that he knew one of these .. or correctly say it would serve.
The girl was about to speak when Lucas suddenly grabbed her to avoid the car, causing her to hug the young man.
the eyes of the two were fixed on each other, they seemed to be statued alike; as if measuring, feeling who will be released first. Add the small distance between their faces.
"Uh-uhm, L-Lucas ..." Maxine stammered, obviously uncomfortable in the latter's embrace. But he got no response from it. It remained staring at him while still wrapping one arm around his waist. "L-Lucas .. m-ma-li-late n-na ako .."
"S-sorry .." Lucas seemed to be upset that Maxine was released.
