Tedros raised his head from the book to look at me. For a second, his eyes widened, his gaze moving down to my chest and all the way down. He gulped, then turned his gaze away.

Giving him a questioning look, I wondered why he was looking at me like that instead of answering.

“Can I stay here for the night?” I inquired once more. “I won’t be a bother, I can sleep on the sofa.”

“No,” he replied bluntly. “Why can’t you sleep in your room?”

I stepped closer to him, standing next to him and glancing around the room to find a spot to sleep that wasn’t the bed. The room still looked like it had when I arranged it for him.

“Aren’t you going to say why you have to sleep here?” he questioned.

Spinning around to look at him, his hands were folded, and he had a straight look on his face. He looked like he didn’t want me there. After all, I was the one who had provoked him earlier.

“Does it matter?” I asked before I could stop myself.

I still couldn’t tell him that there was another him dow

    TEDROS“Did you get to speak with the manager of the motherboard delivery?” I questioned Cole as soon as he stepped into the office. He paused halfway towards me and spun around, groaning in frustration as if regretting his decision to walk in. “Why are you still here?”“That’s because I work here,” I answered, lowering my gaze from him and looking down at the files in my hand.My gaze trailed to the heaps of paperwork that still needed to be taken care of. Not that I didn’t have a secretary who could have done it or an assistant; I insisted on doing it myself.“That's the point of it all,” Cole grunted, turning back to look at me. “If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have bothered coming in.”I raised my head to frown at him. He was probably saying that because he didn’t want to work anymore for the day.“Have you spoken to the manager like I asked you to?” I repeated my question.“No.” He replied, walking over to me and flopping his butt on the chair in front of me, his eyes scann

    TEDROSSince that day she asked to stay in my room; she had always been reading those research papers that I had no idea what they were about.The only time I got to see her was when she was making breakfast and when she left her room in the middle of the night to go to the living room.“Just give me the keys, Cole,” I muttered. “I need them to finish or do the job yourself.” He frowned. “Well, there are tons of people that could do the job in this company. I see no reason why you would want to do it yourself.” Calculating my steps, he was in front of the window and holding the keys in his hand. I would be able to snatch the keys if I got close enough.“Mom asked me to send her invitation to you and Elodie. We are all having breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow, which is Sunday." He said, changing the topic.“What for?” “Come on. Don’t tell me you don’t want to see Mom.”“That was not the question. I asked, Why should we visit tomorrow? Is it even necessary?”“Yes. Dad is back, and

    ELODIESitting across my monitor screen in my dim office, I closed the book's last page. I scanned my eyes through the notes I had taken. For the past two months, I have been reading every book I could find about premature transformation. Now I was finally done reading everything I could about the transformation. The book hadn’t said anything about the last transformation stage. The only thing written about it was to get rid of anyone in the previous stage, but there was no way I was killing Ted.I couldn’t believe I had spent two months reading and doing research only to find nothing at the end. But I still managed to learn a few things that I knew nothing about. I was glad for that.The days had been hectic, and there were times when I had fallen asleep in front of the computer, only to wake up and continue. It had been a while since I had spoken to Tedros properly, and I missed him.He had no idea what I was doing because I was too busy to even sit down and have a discussion with

    ELODIE“Right,” I said, not wanting to argue about it. “Can I have more?”He nodded. “You can take as much as you want.”I reached out to take part of his food but stopped halfway, rising to my feet, I hurried towards the kitchen.“Where are you going?” He asked.“Hold on, I am just going to grab something. I will be back in three seconds.”I dashed into the kitchen and returned with a bigger plate. He watched me curiously as I poured all the food I could find on the table and stirred them all together.“What are you doing?” He questioned.“Mix them since I want yours,” I responded. “Are there still any more apples left?”He eyed me like he hadn’t expected me to mix them or even try to eat the mixture he made.“There are still more left.” He said, the corner of his ears turning red as he averted his eyes. “I will add it together.”“Okay.”Tedros added all of the apples he could find and soon we were eating the food. He spent most of the time staring at me while I stuffed my mouth with

    ELODIE“You have a father?!” I demanded, feeling like he had punched me in the face. How could he have a father, and I know nothing about it? Now I feel like all this time I claimed to know everything about him, I’ve just been lying to myself.“I am so sorry,” I mumbled, seeing that I had freaked out before him. “I didn’t mean to ask about your father like that. It’s just that it took me by surprise. I never knew your father was still–”“Alive?” he questioned, cutting me off.“I didn’t mean it that way!” I tried to defend myself.I didn’t want to get him mad for thinking that his father was dead when the man was still alive.“He is dead, Ducky,” Tedros murmured in a low tone.I breathed a sigh of relief. “I was right all along, so he is dead.”A smirk curled up his lips. “He is dead to us, not dead.” He revealed, shattering all the relief I felt. “How long have you thought that my father was dead?”I peered at him, reading his expression. He wasn’t mad nor was he surprised. He just ha

    ELODIE“Ducky… Ducky…” A soft voice called, and I felt a tap on my back as someone tried to wake me up. “We are running late already.”“Yes?” I muttered, tossing around what I thought to be the bed, but my head collided with a hard surface, jolting me awake immediately. “Ouch!” I cried out, sitting up hastily, only to bump my head into something above me.I heard Tedros groan in the background. Snapping my head in the direction of the voice, I found him holding his jaw. It was then that I realized it was his head I had bumped into earlier.“I am so sorry.” I apologized, reaching out to grab his head and look at it. “Does it hurt?”“I’m starting to think you are doing it on purpose,” he responded. “You have always taken advantage of the chances you get to hit me.”Releasing his face, I rubbed the sore spot I had hit on the wall, wondering where the wall came from. He hadn’t even tried to stop me from hitting my head. I glanced around the room to see that I was in my room. My gaze retur

    ELODIE“He hasn't been giving me a hard time, and I missed you both,” I muttered to the two who were squeezing me tight. “I can't breathe.” Cole pulled back from the hug, and Belle followed suit. She had a worried look, just like the one Tedros had when he told me about his father.It was more like she wanted me to go somewhere else than get into the house. “My father is here already,” Belle said, I could feel the resentment in her voice even though she tried to hide it. “He is in there with his family and asked of you, so I had to stay with her and wait.” “That son of a bitch.” Cole cursed through gritted teeth. “I told him not to ask after you since he never cared for his children.” “Cole,” Belle called, glancing at Cole. “You shouldn't curse in front of Elod.”I found no reason why they would want to be careful around me. I was on their side since their father had decided to treat them like that. “There is no need to be careful around me,” I muttered. “Tedros already told me a

Honestly, I didn't need them to protect me; I was an alpha too.By this time, the commotion has drawn the attention of everyone at the dining table. “Back off!” Cole bellowed, and I could feel his alpha aura emitting from his body. His halfbrother immediately backed away; he wasn't an alpha, and he must respect one.Also, they belonged to the same pack. “Cole!” A deep voice yelled.I turned my head to see who it was, only to find out it was their father. None of the kids looked like him, and he had the brightest green eyes I had ever seen.“How could you use that aura on your own, brother?” Their father demanded. “And don't you know there is an omega here?” “I don't give a fuck!” Cole retorted. “I don't care if your bitch is an omega or your daughter!”“And you shut the fuck off, old man!” Belle added. “You better keep your son in check too, or you

Now, I have to talk about it.I was pissed that he had ignored my texts and calls; however, there was still a sense of relief in me. I was glad his look-alike hadn’t shown up when I was alone in the elevator.Also, I was yet to learn what was wrong with me.“I have been counting all the girls you dated,” I answered. “It doesn’t matter; you’ve heard my final answer, and since you weren’t with your phone, I’ll let it slide.”I rose to my feet and headed for the bathroom. “I’ll go shower,” I said but paused halfway. “There are no clothes to change into if I shower.”“You can wear my jacket. It has buttons,” he suggested. “You’re short, so it’ll probably stop at your knees or mid-thigh.”I glared at him for calling me short. “Alright. It would be best if you took off the jacket now. I have to go.”“Alright.”Tedros took off his jacket, and I took it from him before heading for the

    TEDROSLeaning my back against the wall next to the elevator, I sighed. Ducky was probably asleep by now. She must have thought about it like I asked her to.Her words couldn’t stop ringing in my head.“It’s because I love you, dumbass!”Dang it.How could that be possible?To be honest, Ducky and I were nothing alike. She got good grades in school, became the top student in all her classes, won all sorts of competitions, and even became the school president.She always shines bright everywhere she goes. She’s a role model for several students. Why the heck did she notice me of all people? An average student who barely passes his math exams.Come to think of it, our paths were nothing alike. She was on the academic path and super intelligent, while I, on the other hand, was on the sports path.I did quite well in sports and won tons of awards too.I had always thought she would go for a more academic guy and not someone like me who couldn’t solve quizzes with her or enjoy the same boo

I had just laid out my feelings for him, yet all he could do was look at me like I had said something shocking.“I’m telling the truth,” I insisted. “I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember, but you’ve never seen me as anything more than a friend! Even now, we’re married, yet you still treat me as just a friend.”Tedros shook his head, trying to snap out of it. “Are you serious?”“Believe me or not, I don’t care. But I’m not going to let you kill yourself!” I growled.He slowly raised his hand, placing it on mine, which was gripping his collar, and gently pulled it down. “I think you’re confused, Ducky,” he murmured. “Why on earth would you love a man like me? You could love anyone in the world, yet you chose me.”As I opened my mouth to respond, he placed a finger on my lips to silence me. His expression was unreadable.“Think it through carefully. Consider what you really want. Do you want to keep me alive, or do y

    ELODIETedros's gaze held mine, a serious look on his face. Had he just asked if I was seeing something no one else could? How could he have traced it back to two months ago?“Am I wrong?” he asked. “What is it that you’ve been keeping from me for the past months?” He paused. “It was the same when you came here, too, right? The vase cut on your forehead wasn’t you, was it? It was them. Isn’t that right?”He knew. He already knew. There was no need to hide it anymore.“That’s right,” I replied. “I can see what other people can’t.”His eyes widened for a second, then slowly turned into a frown.“What do you see?” he asked. “Why don’t you fight back when you see it? Why do you keep letting it hurt you?!”“Because I can’t fight back.”“Why is that?!” he demanded.“It’s way too strong for me!” I answered. “It’s way too strong for me.”“Did you try?” he asked.The question made me pause. Come to think of it, I hadn’t tried fighting the look-alike whenever he appeared.The first time he grab

I held up the ice cream for Tedros to see.“Are you seeing the ice cream in my hand?” I questioned. “You can see it, right?”His eyes trailed to my hand, and for a second, my heart skipped a beat. If he didn’t see the ice cream, how many other things had I been imagining?Fear ripped through me. What the heck was wrong with me? I had seen that girl, listened to her, spoken to her, and even touched her. There was no way I could have imagined her.“Yes. I can see it,” Tedros confirmed. “You’re holding the same ice cream I bought you, except I never asked a kid to give it to you.”I felt the blood drain from my face.“Did you see the little girl when you got to the car?” I asked.He shook his head. “Nope.”No?“She was standing next to the window,” I mumbled. “In a pink dress with two braided ponytails?”He shook his head again.“How could you not see her?” I asked, my voice trembling.The cup of ice cream

    ELODIEThe culprit had been caught, yet I couldn’t bring myself to ask who it was. The guilt of finding my mate and being married was eating me up. I hadn’t thought much about it, but was I going to have to reject one of them? I shook my head to snap out of it. I was good at hiding my emotions, and I wasn’t going to let them show.“Who was the culprit?” I asked.Even though the culprit was behind the rogue attack, I had been the one to run on the broken glass and jump out the window like that. His look-alike was the one who made me get injured. There was no way I could tell him that, though. I’d let him believe it was the rogue who got me into that condition.Besides, one rogue broke my head and made the glass pierce even deeper.“Are you alright?” Tedros asked.I looked away. “I’m fine. My injuries have healed on their own.” I turned back to him. “Don’t you think I’ve needed medical attention too much? I must be worrying everyone.”He reached out to stroke my head. “We might be worri

    TEDROSWalking out of the cell with Jeremy and Mom, I rubbed my temples. That was stressful. I hadn’t gotten enough sleep for days, and dealing with that made my head throb.I wondered how Ducky was doing. Has she woken up yet? I wanted her to wake up, but I wanted her to wake up with me there.“I always knew she was trouble,” Mom said. “She had always been troubled since she was a little girl. Thank goodness she never ended up as my daughter-in-law.”Jeremy groaned. “That’s right. I disliked her too.”I had banished her from the pack, but I still needed to consult the elder of the wolf clan and bring the situation to them. Although Ducky could give her the punishment she wants, another pack could take in Jessica.All I wanted to propose to the elders was to make sure that Jessica never gets into another pack. If that happened, she was still going to be able to come close to Ducky, which I don’t want.“I will have to get an appointment with the elders,” I told Mom and Jeremy. “I will

    TEDROS“What the hell?” Jeremy questioned. “The rogue is your mate and happened to be the leader of the rogue attack?! Does that mean you asked her to attack our pack?” he growled.I could sense the anger in his voice as he growled. They had told me nothing about Mira being the person who had led the other rogues to our pack.Jessica said nothing but took the antidote from her mate and gulped down all of the contents.She held her neck and began coughing vigorously. It took several seconds for her to stop coughing.Jeremy wasted no time; he grabbed her, lifted her by the collar, and slammed her against the cell.“Did you ask your mate to attack this pack?” Jeremy demanded. “I heard two rogues broke into the house to find the Luna. They wouldn't have gone there if no one from the pack hadn't told them.”Jessica held Jeremy's hand and tried to stop him from holding her up.“It isn't a coincidence that you had a fight with her the day before and got embarrassed instead,” Jeremy continued

    TEDROSMy gaze turned to Jessica, who looked stunned for a moment before tears began rolling down her cheeks.“I think someone is trying to frame me,” Jessica cried. “Why would a rogue that attacked my pack claim to know me when I don’t even know her? She’s been lying all along, and now she’s trying to lie again.”Jessica looked like she was telling the truth, but there was no way I was going to buy her words.“Do you know her?” I asked the rogue.“Yes,” the rogue confirmed. “We’ve spoken to each other tons of times. She knows me too, but she’s pretending not to.”The whole situation was confusing. Jessica claimed she didn’t know the wolf and the she-wolf said she knew Jessica well.I had no idea who to believe—Jessica, whom I knew, or the rogue who was staring at Jessica with a determined look on her face. I could tell something was going on between them that Jessica didn’t want to talk about.“Stop lying!” Jessica snarled. “Just shut the fuck up and stop lying about me.”I stared at
