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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 62
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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 66
ELODIE“You could have refused their offer to introduce you to the pack members until later,” Tedros said, holding my hand and leading me into the building.The party was done, and everyone had retired for the night. After getting introduced to everyone, I had a glass of alcohol, then another, then another until I was halfway drunk. I couldn’t walk properly unless someone supported me. I glanced at Tedros, who had a concerned look on his face.“Easy for you to say. Did you see the delight in their eyes when I agreed?” I questioned. “It was worth spending time with the other ladies from several packs, and I met the younger Luna among them too. I think she is the Luna of a new Alpha.”“You could have turned them down still,” Tedros said, ignoring what I had just said. “Now you are drunk and can’t walk. I don’t have a memory of you being drunk.”Pouting, I shook my head. “I could never get drunk in front of so many people. Although I drank, it was with Mom, Cole, and Belle. They are my f
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 67
ELODIE“What did I do after that?” I asked, but Tedros rolled his eyes and rolled off the bed.He managed to stand straight in the pile of toys and kicked some out of the way to make space for standing.“Do you need help getting up?” he inquired, stretching out his hand for me to take.I took his hand and slowly rose to my feet. I peered at him, and from up close, the makeup on his face was visible and it made him look like a beautiful man. It was hilarious.I chuckled softly and began giggling. He had so much courage carrying that makeup on his face, and the eyeliner looked like it was drawn by a black marker.“What’s so funny?” he asked. “You did all of this to my face, can’t you remember?”I immediately stopped giggling and stared at him. “I did? When?” I didn’t have that memory in my head.He ran his hand through his hair, groaning in frustration. “Let’s clean up. This room looks like a dumpster.”Frowning, I wondered why he had just ignored my question. “I just asked you a questi

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
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 83
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
