Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 49
ELODIEMy eyes were wide in shock as I tried to process what he had just asked me. I thought he didn’t want it. He never said anything about having a honeymoon after the wedding; the only thing he did was head to work immediately.I tried to think of the possibility that I hadn’t heard him right, but I knew I had. What had gotten into him?“Mom suggested we go to a party with her. I was wondering if we could take it as a honeymoon,” he said, averting his eyes and ruffling his hair. “What do you say?”Honestly, I wouldn't have thought about going on a honeymoon if he hadn’t suggested it, and since he was going to head to the party with me, there was no use rejecting the offer.“Okay,” I replied. “When are we leaving?”“Noon.”“Noon?” My brows rose. “Today?”He nodded. “Yeah.”“What time is it?”“8.”“Eight? You gotta be kidding me.”A few hours later, we were in the car, and I was glancing at my wristwatch. The time was 11:50 am, and I barely managed to pack all of the things I would n

ELODIE“She is alright,” Kathy said for the tenth time. “There are no issues.”I turned to Tedros with a playful grin. “See, I’m perfectly fine,” I said, giving him a reassuring pat on the arm.He had driven to the hospital after we left Lucas' home. Even though I tried to stop him, he didn't listen and brought me to Kathy.“Did you say she was unconscious?” Kathy questioned.Turning my head to look at her, I found her eyes narrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line. Her fists clenched at her sides, trembling slightly as if she were barely restraining herself from lunging at Tedros.“Yes, she was unconscious,” Tedros replied, not understanding the look on her face to be that of anger.“How many days was she unconscious?”“Five days.”As soon as the words left Tedros’ lips, I knew he was done. And we would be so late and miss our ride to Huinsia.If I knew all this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have gone to meet Lucas. Now, seeing that he is fine has made me a display case for Ka
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 51
ELODIEHer question caught me off guard, making me halt and spin around to look at her. Her gaze held a serious look as she waited for my answer.Of course, she knew about the sickness way more than I did. She was a doctor and had been searching for the cure for the last stage all her life even though it had no cure.Even though she knew about the look-alike, I was still not going to tell her I was seeing Tedros’ look-alike. If I did, she was going to get rid of him immediately.“Look-alike?” I questioned, my brows raised as I played dumb. “What are you talking about?”Her brows knotted as she frowned at me. Controlling myself, I made sure not to show any emotions that would give away my act.She stared at me, her eyes boring into me like she could see into my soul.“It was nothing,” she replied, just as I had expected. “I was just wondering if anyone who has the same face as Tedros has been visiting.”I shook my head. “Not at all.”She sighed in relief, her shoulders sagging. “That’s
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 52
TEDROSGlancing at my mom, I waited for her to explain what Belle had just said. Did she lie to me about Ducky wanting a honeymoon?“Did you say that Ducky refused to go because I was not going?” I questioned when Mom went on without explaining.Mom’s eyes darted to Belle and she nodded her head. I could already tell what they were talking about—it was more like they wouldn’t say a word to me no matter how I asked.So, I leaned back against the seat. “Fine, I won’t ask about it anymore.”“Good,” Mom said with a grin on her face. “We will be there in a few hours. You should have some rest; Elodie is asleep already.”I glanced at Ducky. Mom was right, she was asleep, and her head was in place. She did everything and even slept properly on the plane seat.Her hair was over her face, and she looked calm and collected. Pulling my gaze from her, I turned back to my mom.“Yes, I do think I need some rest.”Two hours later, the helicopter had come to a stop. Belle and Mom walked out while I s

ELODIE“That’s all for today,” Belle muttered, spinning around to look at me.We were in a jewelry stall, and she was holding a necklace in her hand. The pendant was emerald green while the neckline was gray.“I saw this necklace and thought of you,” she said, holding up the necklace for me to see. “It has the same color as your eyes.”I blinked, nodding my head. “Right.”“Do you like it?”“Yes.”“I am going to help you wear it,” she murmured, stepping behind me and putting it on. “Tada!” She pushed me towards the mirror. “Isn’t it pretty?”I stared at my reflection in the mirror. She was right; the necklace matched the color of my eyes, and the gray around it reminded me of Tedros' eyes.“It is beautiful.” A warm smile appeared on my face. “I love it.”“I knew you would,” she replied, stepping away from me and paying for the necklace.I didn’t hear them talk about the price or know how much she bought it for, but the necklace had great quality.Peering at her, I grew suspicious. Why
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 54
ELODIEWas I frowning?“I am fine,” I replied.He peered at me, leaning in, his face inches from mine. My heart skipped a beat as I felt his breath on my skin, warm and intimate. For a moment, I thought he might kiss me, and the world seemed to hold its breath.Was he going to kiss me?But then he pulled back, leaving me with a flutter of disappointment. Definitely not. I was overthinking it.“Ted!” Jessica's voice reached us, her tone soft. “Belle is bullying me.”Tedros's gaze turned to her. I stared at her; she looked like she wanted to cry. Hah, there goes her acting childlike to get a man's attention.“I did nothing to her,” Belle said with an eye roll. “She is overreacting, as always.”Not waiting for him to respond, Jessica hurried to Tedros and tried to hold his hand.“I am feeling sick,” I told Tedros. “Could you take me to our room?”Tedros' attention shifted to me. While lifting me, he dodged Jessica’s hand and, without saying a word to her, carried me into the house.Belle
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 55
ELODIEMy jaw dropped when I heard Mrs. Vinters' words. How could she not remember Jessica? From all I knew about them, Jessica visited their home regularly in the past years.I glanced up at Tedros to see if I was the only one surprised that Jessica wasn’t recognized, but he had the same look on his face.I averted my eyes and saw that everyone in the room looked as if a golden goose had just flown by.“I am—am Jessica,” Jessica stuttered, clearly shocked that she wasn’t recognized. “We used to live next to you years back. My mom was red-haired too. We celebrated birthdays together because Tedros and I shared the same birthday, one year apart.”“I don’t remember you, and I also don’t remember being close to anyone and letting them call me Mom,” Mrs. Vinters replied. “Only Elodie is allowed to call me that, along with my children.”Why was she adding me to a conversation that was supposed to be about them?“Who is Elodie?” Jessica questioned, spinning around to look at me. “Her?”“Yes
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 56
ELODIE“You didn’t have to eat all that was given to me, you know?” I said as we walked down the passageway to our room. “You said you couldn’t eat anymore,” he replied, falling into step next to me. “I did what I had to do—to help you eat.”“How charming,” I murmured, smiling at him.He shrugged, tossing the apple into the air and catching it. “I did what I had to do. And weren’t you the one who said we had to share a room?” he questioned. I nodded. “Do we have a choice?” I knew he would have suggested separate rooms, but without asking, his mom had given us one. “I guess we don't,” he replied. Reaching the room, I hesitated to open the door. Mrs. Vinters had told me the door was white compared to the other doors in the house and it was the largest too. I guess they took giving us the best room seriously. However, I wondered what the decoration might be like inside. “Are you going to run away?” Tedros questioned, pulling me out of my thoughts. “Of course not,” I replied. “Yo

ELODIEGlancing at Tedros, I could see he was curious about that. Why had I mentioned it in the first place? 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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 82
ELODIETedros' eyes were wide in disbelief as he stared at me. 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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 81
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

ELODIEWas she just my imagination? But the ice cream was so real—I could see it. 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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 79
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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 78
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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 77
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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 76
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
