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

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

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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 57
TEDROSThe moment she took a bite from that apple, I realized that I had messed up. Why did I agree with Mom when she suggested one room?I thought it was going to be like when I shared a room with Belle. Why didn’t I think of the fact that I wasn’t related to Ducky and we were married?The look on her face when she leaned in to take a bite of that apple with her finger brushing against mine sent electricity through me.She was beautiful and seductive at the same time. With a little bite, she sent shivers down my spine.Leaning my back against the bathroom door, I sighed and rubbed my temples. I hadn’t pictured her taking a bite from the apple, I had pictured her taking my dick into her mouth.The way she moved her hair to the side was mesmerizing. Remembering how she had wiped the juice off her chin and dug it into her mouth made me harden in my pants. Not again.I told myself I wasn’t going to have sex with her anymore. What she wanted was someone who would make love to her, and I w
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 58
TEDROSImmediately, I turned her around to face me and was greeted by the sight of blood gushing from a large cut on her forehead. What the hell was happening?Her eyes were pale, and she held a piece of the vase, blood dripping from it. My heart raced as I watched her. Did she cut herself?“Ducky?” I called out, panicking, but she didn’t say a word, staring at me with terror in her eyes.*****“She is going to be alright,” the doctor murmured, wrapping the final bandage around her head. “It is just a little cut and will heal soon.”I sat next to Ducky and held her hand in mine. She sat on the bed, staring blankly into space. It was almost as if she wasn’t there with us.“Are you sure she is going to be alright?” Mom questioned, her voice trembling with terror. “She didn’t do what I thought she did, right?”The doctor shook his head. “She did cut herself.”Cut herself? I squeezed her hand. Why would she do that? She was excited about going to the clothing store; she had no reason to d
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 59
ELODIE“Can you tell me why you did it?” Tedros’ voice reached me, making me stiffen at the calmness in his tone, despite knowing that my forehead had been slit.It wasn’t like I had done it myself—I hadn’t slit my forehead. There was no reason for me to do that, and I would never intentionally harm myself.How could I explain that to him? I couldn’t tell him that I had seen his look-alike again after he left. I usually saw him once a day, but now it was twice: once at Lucas’ home and once in the room.Earlier,“Tedros?” I called out, stepping out of the bathroom.Tedros wasn’t in the room, and my clothes were laid out on the bed. I approached the bed, did my skincare, and got dressed. I had just finished my makeup when I felt someone behind me.When I spun around, I found Tedros standing there. Unlike the expression he had on his face before I left, this one was the opposite.It was then that I realized it was his look-alike.“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying my best to pret
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 60
ELODIEThere was silence as soon as I finished speaking. I wanted to glance at Tedros to see his reaction, but I decided against it.He could have asked me anything for as long as he wanted. Using the silence, I thought of a way to avoid the discussion and escape being questioned to death. Not that I would die from his questions, but I wouldn’t be able to keep up with lies and might make mistakes with my answers. He would realize that I was lying.“I’m glad to know you didn’t do it on purpose,” he replied, his voice still calm. “Just go to sleep. By the time you wake up, you’ll be completely healed.”“Aren’t we going to the party anymore?” I asked, my voice low.“No.”“I can still go. I mean, the injury isn’t serious—just a scratch on the forehead.”“Are you talking about the scratch that made you bleed so much? You haven’t even gotten a dress yet, and there’s no way I’m letting you leave this room until you’re healed.”“But…”“No buts.” He mumbled. “I won’t attend the party either,
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 61
ELODIEAs soon as my hand connected with her cheek in a resounding slap, she threw herself back and landed on her butt with a loud thud. I stared at her in disbelief; I hadn't slapped her hard enough to make her fall. Why was she acting like I did?Tedros’ head snapped in my direction, and he wore a surprised expression on his face. I was even more surprised that I had slapped her; it was annoying to watch her speak like she owned Tedros and could tell him what to do.“I was only suggesting a divorce,” Jessica mumbled. “After what you told me the last time we met, I was only trying to get Tedros out of the marriage without telling him what you said.”“What?” I was confused by what she was saying. When did she and I have a conversation?Jessica began rubbing her cheek. “It hurts,” she purred.I glanced at Tedros, wondering if he was going to fall for her tricks. She was trying to frame me; I hoped he could see that.Tedros was glaring at Jessica, his face twitching in disgust. I had ne
