Mag-log in"Yes, it seems that you really found your mate. Based on your initial reactions, we can safely assume. However, sparks may not be there yet for two reasons. He is a different creature or he is using some type of cloaking spell. Cloaking spells tend to distort our senses." An elder from our pack told us. He is the most knowledgeable when in come to issues on mates. He is a mestizo his Papa was an Ilustrado while his Mama is spanish.
"Juancho, did this happen to anyone you may know? Or does our books talk about this scenario?" Edith asks the elder. She is wary that this might just be a hunch.
"Si señorita, my Mama has felt this when she saw Papa. Our history does not talk about this as they don't know this yet when this happened a century ago.
In those times, having a filipino mate is unheard of especially since they were in España. But alas, Mama experienced it and was able to pass on the knowledge to me. If you want further information, you may check your grandfather's diary. I believe he has his own anecdotes of the things that happened to our pack in his time." Juancho was almost asleep when he said this. Living at the age of 103 is normal for wolves but the energy we have is almost depleted.
"Thank you Juancho for that information. We will leave you now. I will see to it that a servant will be assigned in this area to help you and the other elders." It was Alex who bid him goodbye.
They found the elder snoring already. "Hermana, thank you. I don't know what I would do if you did not accompany me. Surely he wont talk to me alone. I don't have the power to ask him." Edith hugs her hermana.
"Don't you dare think like that. Where is my fierce and strong hermanita who was good at strategizing?" She looks at her in the eyes. Edith has been teary eyed. It has been two years after her first shift and she has been looking for her mate for way too long.
"I am just tired hermana. For the past two years, I haven't had a good night sleep. It is always the same nightmares. Now that I found him, I just hope I can have a peaceful sleep." She sighs and tears started to run down her face.
"Oh hermanita, all will be fine. Remember when I had to chase Claudia just so she could accept me as her mate. Moon goddess has her ways to help us find our mate and be together. We just need to trust her and do what we think is right. Whatever is happening with you and your mate will always have a solution. With you as a bookworm. It won't take long for you to piece the puzzles together." She hugs her little sister and stayed that way in the middle of the dirt road.
"Thank you hermana. I needed to hear that. It reminds me of what I can do. Let's go we have a ton of diaries to read." She grabs her hermana's hand and drags her towards there pack house. It seems as though, Alex knew how badly she needed her. She has become her support this past few years.

"Pat where are you going? The celebration has just begun." His Mama asks. It was unlike him to leave early.
"I am going out to get some fresh air Mama. No need to worry about me. I will be back. I promise." He then move away from the stage and went to the balcony. The celebration for his sister is held in their grand hall, where every engkanto in the woods has gathered. She is being introduced to them as part of the royal family.
In the next few months, she will entertain suitors from the other kingdom. Since she is now condidered as an adult she may choose whom ever she like. However, she must choose within the same year or else their Papa has to find a husband for her.
One year might be short for humans but for them, it is quite long. Engkantos consider one day to be equivalent to one month for humans.
Unlike Princes that has a destiny that they need to search. His sister doesn't have one. She is free to find her partner. This was is what has been done for many generations. It helps them to create alliances with other engkanto thru family ties.
"Are still here? Why haven't you gone back?" His Mama has stood by his side.
"Mama how did you and Papa meet?" Pat asks her.
"You know the story my dear. It was a cloudy day in the woods, and I got lost on my way home. Your Papa saw me and there he professes his love to me. I was stunned but I.accepted him. I knew he was mine the moment our eyes met. Why do you ask?" She explained.
"I think, I found my destiny Mama." He lets out a sad smile.
"That is great news. Where is she? Did you invite her here?" She was excited.
"No Mama, I did not invite her. She is a human, I think." He gave out a sigh.
"Oh, my son, why are you sad? Even if she is human. She is your destiny and I know she will accept you." His Mama assured him.
"Thanks Mama. But I am not sure, if I will be able to see her again. She just gave me her name. She said she will tell me her house if we meet again. But since we could not go out often then I don't think I will be able to see her." Patricio was feeling defeated.
"Nonsense. Let me talk to Iñigo about this. I am sure he will be able to grant you safe passage until you bring her home here." His Mama was excited and it can be shown in her face. She was also looking forward to this day when her youngest son will find his destiny.
"Thank you Mama. I will not waist my time sulking hear. I will try my best to find her." He was determined and his Mama was happy for him.
Edith wait for me my lady, my love. I will find you and make you my wife. I won't go back hear without you.
Edith hears the thump of the feet of the horse in the ground. She was sitting at the back of their house. It was a sunny afternoon and she did not want to work inside her office where it was cramped and hot."My love, what are doing here? Why aren't you inside the house?" Pat asks her. He had a worriod look in his face. How can she tolerate the heat hear? He thought."Pat, you came. I thought you weren't going to show up." Edith replied with a smile on her face. She suddenly felt happy when she saw him."Are you busy right now?" Pat asked and scratched his head."Yeah, I am actually free. This can wait until later in the evening. So where are we going this afternoon?" Edith asks."Were going horseback riding." Pat happily replied."Are you serious? I haven't done that lately." Edith was excited. She has been planning to do that for a while now.&nb
The party has started as soon as the guest of honor arrived. Pat and his family were seated in the makshift stage along with Edith's family. A simple feast as it seems but Alex and Trish had prepared an entertainment of sorts."Tonight, we will introduce to you our very own dancers. They will be perfoming the tinikling. Please welcome our dancers and give them a round of applause." Alex stood in the fance floor while announcing this. Edith was shocked to see that her little sister along with her classmates are dressed in a Filipiñana while the boys who were from this pack and the same age were wearing barong and pants. They also brought bamboo sticks.The dancers paired up. Two boys were holding the bamboo sticks in both ends while the girls are standing in the sides. There were six groups all in all. The bamboo sticks rested in a bamboo that was cut in half.They started the dance. Pat's family was in awe with the
Patricio, Juan and their Mama are in the gates of the woods. They are ready to step into the human territory when there was someone who called Pat."Pat wait, I am coming as well." When they looked back it was his little sister."Mama can we bring her as well?" Pat had a worried look on his face. His sister is the most naughty among them. She might ruin his chance to be with his destiny."Let her come. We need as much support as we could if we are to present ourselves. Your Papa can't come so might as well bring her with Juan. This way we will show them that you are very serious in courting her as you brought your family with you." His Mama was a wise woman. He nodded and then waited for his little sister."Maria you should be at your best behaviour. This is not an adventure. Your elder brother has to prove his sincerity to pursue his destiny. We are just their to support him. Understood?" Hi
"Who are you again?" Edith asks with a sly smile on her face. She knew the guys name but wanted to tease him. He was her childhood crush and has day dreamed of him as her mate."Don't you ever forget me. You silly girl." The guy replied to her. He was smiling as well. His eyes shows the happiness he has and its radiating all over his body. Edith could not stop staring at his body which was fully cloth but you can somehow imagine the muscles and the abs. Somehow he grew a scruff and it suits him. He was handsome when they were still in high school but now he looks manly."So what brings you here Fabio? I thought you're in España." Edith asks him, she was still looking at his body."Oh, right well España. I got bored and went home for a couple of weeks. Mama insisted I stay here for summer." He scratches his scruff and it was oozing with sexiness. Edith could not stop but drool."So are you goi
It has been two days since Edith last saw Pat. She has become agitated by his absence. She wasn't sure if he will come back. It seems her Papa gave him a very hard task.These days courtship is quite hard. Unlike before you just present your riches and any parent will give you your approval. This time they need to prove themselves not their wealth or their background."Hermana, are you okay? You seem distressed." Trish asks her. She was staring at the crops outside but her mind was somewhere else."Hi Trish, I didn't notice you were here. I am just worried. Pat hasn't visited yet. And tomorrow is the party. What if he won't come? Or what if he decides I am not worth the trouble?" Edith answered her sister's question."Hermana don't think like that. You know what, instead of sulking here alone. Why don't you come with me to town. We can drag Joselito with us. He is such an adorable kid." Trish
Alpha Vicente just made a decision and plans to let his children know.'Mijas, please come to my office please.' He mindlinked his children and his mi amor.'Si Papa' Edith responded. She was nervous as Pat was in a hurry to leave after his talk with her Papa.She hurriedly came upstairs in the second floor where his Papa had made an office for himself. Before he was in the third floor but as Alex her hermana assumed the Alpha role, he willingly gave her the office. He now took out a few meters of space in the library."Hi Papa. How was your talk with my mate? He seemed to be in a hurry to go." Edith asks him. She could not wait to know what happened."It was good. I called you hear to discuss our conversation also. Let us just wait for your Mama and sisters." Their Papa explained. She tried to read his facial expressions but she came up with nothing. He didn't seem hap
