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

My laughter increased, and I clutched my stomach. Jessica was so dumb and a terrible liar that I found it funny she tried bringing up a convincing lie that would never work.“You're going to injure yourself if you laugh too much,” Tedros muttered as soon as I was done laughing.It took a while for me to stop laughing, but it was worth it. Jessica looked shocked and confused, the tears on her face were still there, but she had stopped fake sobbing.I inhaled and exhaled, calming myself before speaking.“Did I say that, Jessica?” I questioned.Jessica's brows arched, and she nodded. “You said it.”“When was that?”“A few hours ago,” she replied.“Oh yes,” I said, nodding my head in agreement. “I was with Tedros the whole time.”“She’s right,” Tedros supported. “I was with her all day, and she went nowhere.”Jessica backed away now that her lie was caught. “She must have sneaked out when you were asleep.” Picking up courage, she reached out to hold Tedros’ hand. “You have to believe me!
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 63
ELODIE Jessica’s voice drew the attention of everyone at the party, and they all turned to us. I felt their judging eyes on me, the weight of their gazes heavy with accusation. “I’m sorry that I bumped into you, but you didn’t have to spill red wine all over my white dress,” Jessica said, sobbing and rubbing her eyes. “My dress is ruined, and it was my late mother’s.” What the hell? She had changed her demeanor in seconds, playing the victim flawlessly. “How could you say I poured wine all over you?” I demanded, my fury rising. It was a cheap trick, and I’d seen it too many times before to fall for it. “Why are you holding a glass then?” she questioned, a smirk slowly spreading across her lips. Everyone began to murmur, their whispers growing louder. “Who the hell is she to do that to Jessica?” “How could someone be that cruel at a party like this?” “She’s heartless, doing that to another woman in a white dress.” “And it belonged to her late mother?” “And this is
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 64
TEDROS“Go check if she’s alright if you care about her so much!” she snarled, brushing past me and hurrying towards the house.I stared after her, confused as to why she was acting that way when I did nothing to her. My eyes trailed to her bleeding hand as she moved.Her words rang in my head as I watched her grip her gown until she was out of sight. How was I going to tell her that I didn’t care about Jessica as much as I did about her and that Jessica wasn’t my mistress?Turning my gaze back to the path Belle and Jessica took, they were gone too, and I felt all eyes on me. Ducky had quite shifted her anger from Jessica to me. I should have helped her when it happened, but I wasn’t close.Mom had asked me to help her carry something, and when I returned, Ducky was about to strike Jessica. I wanted to stop her and deal with it myself, but I had no idea Jessica was biting her.And of all things, why did Jessica resort to biting?I felt bad, and I knew what Ducky was probably thinking.
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 65
ELODIEGetting into the room, I slammed the door behind me and locked it securely in case Tedros came after me. Leaning my back against the door, I blushed harder than I ever thought I could.Tedros’ words kept ringing in my head. “I am not in love with Jessica!”“Just know that I am not in love with Jessica, nor is she my mistress.”“I care about you, not her!”He cared about me, not her. I slid to the floor, covering my face with my hands. Excitement filled me, making me feel like a thirteen-year-old who had just had a first crush.“Stupid, I had been stupid to think he loved her. It’s been years, and I have seen him date other ladies, get his heart broken, and break girls' hearts.”He didn’t even date Jessica, and I was getting jealous over nothing. Jessica wanted to make me angry, and I was not going to let her succeed.Rising to my feet, I unlocked the door and peered into the passageway. The party was still on, and I was supposed to be introduced, wasn’t I?Why would I ignore th
