I caress the apple of her cheek with my thumb, enjoying the feel of her soft skin against mine. “You make me move. Our kids make me move. But it’s when I’m still that I feel your love and theirs. It’s in the quiet that I understand it. It’s in moments like this my shield protects it.”
She leans in and kisses me into compliance like she’s done for many years.
Alpha—I can’t change that about myself. I’m learning to tone it down a bit for my daughter’s sake and to appease my wife. However, the protector in me will always emerge, it’ll always be aware, and it’ll always be prepared to act when one of my own needs me. I’m their shield forever.
Beta—My Sophia is. What can I say? She’s my world, my life, my motivation, my love. No one touches her but me, and no one will ever stand beside, behind, before her but me. Why? Because an Alpha’s job is to protect its Beta forever.

AFTER GROWING UP IN THE Philippines, I now live in California with my husband and two girls. My husband survived two bouts of cancer, AML Leukemia and Mucoid Carcinoma, hence the inspiration in Unbreakable. I thank the good Lord for healing my husband twice. It can’t get any better than that.
Our oldest, Andrea is a senior in APU. When she looks at my computer the first thing out of her mouth is “Mom! What are you looking at? Dad!” Our youngest, Allysa is a sophomore in high school. The few times she passed by me and looked over my shoulder when I was writing her reaction was, “Mom! I’m telling dad!” There you have it, I have two double agents in my house. What happened to loyalty!
If my husband is the ying to my yang, Andrea is the Marlin to my Dory while Allysa is the Buzz Lightyear to my Woody. I love the beach but I hate the sand, I love to travel but I hate to fly, I love to eat but I hate gaining weight (all women can relate to this) and so it goes my little quirks in life.
Am I crazy? Well, the jury is still out on that one, but I’d like to think I can make one person smile with my craziness.
