THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [09]
AUTUMN:The dress felt so heavy in my hands and automatically returned it to the beta. Brows furrowing, I stared back at Beta Maddox, while trying to wrap in my mind why the alpha would suddenly act like we were best friends. Giving me this dress so that I could attend the party? What's his reason? To taunt me? To make fun of me? To make my life even more miserable?We were in the past, but not anymore. Omega's were not forbidden to attend the party. Everyone was invited to join. “Why did you return the dress?” he asked. “Did you not hear what I said? This was a gift from the alpha. Refusing this meant you were not acknowledging him as your superior which could cause serious consequences on your part as an omega.”I heard it loud and clear. It was from the alpha. But the question was, why? What was more hurtful about being rejected by my mate?‘I told you to move on and look for our second chance mate,’ my wolf reminded me. ‘Stop acting like this.’Sighing, I said, "I don't underst

AUTUMN:My packmates were already having fun outside. Me? I'm still debating if I will join or not. The elegant dress was still in my bed, waiting for me to put it on. Now that I had a real look at it, it was an elegant solid fold V neck pleated dress. A red one where anyone would glance at me. Earlier, I put it on to check if it fit me, and to my amazement, it did fit as if the dress were meant for me.Meant for you? Stop dreaming, girl.What was Alpha Hugh thinking? Embarrassing me like this?Remember when he played a prank on you where he pulled out the check when you were about to sit? Remember those times when he told you that your parents were calling you only to find out that they did not? He was laughing so hard that his stomach ached a lot. Those were our bittersweet memories which we could no longer go back to. Time was ticking and if I stayed here even longer, someone might be asked to fetch me and force me not to join the party, but to spend the rest of my days in a du

AUTUMN:It was a cliche, but when I said that I looked like a completely different person was an underestimate. The woman completely changed me into someone else that I could no longer recognize.I didn't really believe that I was ugly. I was blessed with looks that I inherited from my deceased mother. But after what happened, my outlook completely changed. I now believed that I was ugly and seeing my face in the mirror reminded me always of the tragedy that befell on our family. The head makeup artist stared at me in the mirror and asked, “Well? I want to assume that you're speechless because of what you see? What do you think? If you wear that dress it will completely compliment that look."My eyes darted to the dress on the bed which was completely out of place in my room. With the look I had right now, then I could say that I well blend in the crowd. Everyone was waiting for this day to come and the arrival of the alpha, believing that they will be the alpha's or the beta’s mate

AUTUMN:I felt like there was a lump on my throat. My second chance mate was here. He was here! My heart felt like it was going to burst with happiness. I wanted to kiss the alpha for forcing me to come here. If I got stubborn and forced myself to take the part time job, then, I would never be given the chance with this opportunity. Who would have thought that within a short period of time, I would be given the chance to meet him? But where?Scanning the surroundings, I tried to look for him. Until I found a pair of forest green eyes staring back at me.My breath caught in my throat while my surroundings seemed like it had faded in the background. It was only me and my mate. ‘Look who it is,’ Trisha whispered. ‘Look who is our second chance mate,’ he added. My eyes were already glowing on him and could not take it away, even if someone asked me to. The smell of the spicy scent was stronger than ever as he sauntered towards me. As if he was the king, the crowd parted for him, bu

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh kept on staring at me as if I was some fine specimen under the microscope. Back then, his gaze was full of innocence and warmth, but right now, it seemed as if he was stripping me of the clothes I wore. My breathing labored. I was the one who suggested this place, knowing no one would be allowed to come here. In fact, only a few people (slaves) were allowed to come in this place to clean. Strictly. “Why did you give me this dress?” I asked instead. There was no way that he would know that we were mates. We no longer were children who wanted to be each other's mates. His forehead formed a knot. “Dress? Do you think I would waste my time buying an omega a dress?”My mouth opened and closed. After a couple of seconds, I found myself asking, “You did not buy this for me?”“Why would I?”My eyebrows furrowed. Did the beta lie? Then, who gave me this dress? “He said…”“Who?”“The beta.” “Maddox.” He threw back his head and laughed. “Why would he lie about that? I

AUTUMN:The alpha was lying, right? Maybe he was back to his games. He loved pranks in the past. He must be because why would he accept someone like me? The beta rejected me so I did not think he would do the opposite to me. ‘Why are you not even thankful? Someone finally wanted us and did not consider rejecting us,’ Trisha muttered. Clenching my fist, I answered my wolf, ‘Do I have to say that I was thankful to him for not rejecting us? Don't you think the end game of this is just another rejection? If it's the same ending, I would rather want this to end right now. The alpha is toying with our emotions. There is no way he would accept us. He will only make us his plaything.’I folded my arms in front of my chest and returned the same intensity of gaze to him. He cocked his eyebrows. “When I heard you want to talk to me in private, you got me excited there for a bit, Autumn.”“Why? You believed I will fuck you?”He laughed. “Where was the innocent Autumn in the past? It looked lik

AUTUMN:This woman got to be kidding me. To say that I was one of the alpha’s women was something I did not expect. I was nothing compared to them. They all came from good families and backgrounds. While me? What could I be proud of? Being the cursed one of the pack?Alpha Hugh stared at me for a few minutes and responded to the woman, “You don't have to be jealous. This woman is my…” he trailed while wearing a smirk on his face.My grip on the glass tightened. He was clearly toying with me. I was about to respond, to correct the woman, but bit the inside of my cheeks to stop me from saying anything. It will never help. I should keep my mouth shut. Slaves like me did not have to defend oneself. The woman glared at me. I could smell her intense jealousy as the alpha continued his silence. “You’re what? Your friend? Don't use that alibi, Alpha Hugh. I won't ever buy that one. You never had a woman friend. All the women around you were either your girlfriends or fuck buddy. This w

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox.When we were children, he and the alpha were already fond of asking questions. If they were curious about something, they will make sure to know why it happened or why it worked like that. Until now, he was carrying that attitude. Lifting my chin, I asked back, "Why are you curious?" Which reminded me that I had not asked him about the dress. Who gave the dress if it was not the alpha?He gave me a half-shrug. "The people were whispering. They believed you would be his next whore given the past that the three of us had." Whore. "Why would I whore myself to him?""What do you think, Autumn? What else? So that you will start brand new. If you becomes the alpha's woman, you will never be branded as the cursed one of the pack. Everything would be to your advantage.""I would rather die than fuck the alpha." I would rather die than give myself to a man who did not even see my worth as a woman. I would rather give myself to someone who sees me as a woman. He looke

THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [57]
AUTUMN:What the heck was wrong with Maddox? Was this because he wanted to punish me for how I talked to him this past few days or what? When I finally had someone who was brave enough to confess he liked me, he would start to ruin everything? "Why would you do that?""I'm just doing my job when the alpha is not here. I will be the head of this house. Do not think that there is some ulterior motive behind. There is not, Autumn.”There was not when he clearly showed that he was against me going on a date with Eric? My gaze shifted to Eric. He never loses his cool despite what the beta had said. How did his Dad raise him again? It was unlike men to be this calm and always smiling. Going out with Eric would be nice. It would be like breathing fresh air where I could not see him for a while.Eric smiled again, showing me his dimples. "It's fine, Autumn. I respect the beta's decision. I will just wait for the alpha until he gets here.""He won't be coming here. He has a lot of things to
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [56]
AUTUMN:There were a lot of things I wanted to tell Beta Maddox. A lot of words which then again would only turn into something useless and a waste of my time.“You're giving too much energy you hate, " he commented.“I don't fucking care at all,” I said, and walked passed ahead of him until I reached the gate.I was right. It was not the alpha, but Eric, bringing another bouquet of flowers which I told him did not matter at all.He scratched his neck seeing me. “Hi?” he regretted not being sure at all.“Eric.”“Autumn…” he said with a longing expression on his face. As if we had been separated for a long time. “I missed you already.”Opening the gate, I let him in while the beta was watching my every move.‘Can you at least go farther away?’ I asked inside his mind. I did not know if he would answer me or not. As long as he knew that I did not appreciate his presence.‘Why would you drive me away?’ he responded inside my head. ‘We need privacy. It's like peeing, Beta Maddox. We w
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [55]
AUTUMN: Before I knew Beta Maddox's response, he suddenly kicked me out of his mind. He was territorial even if in his mind. “You have nothing to do with it,” he said. Cedric raised his eyebrows and stared at us while holding the kid's hand. “You’re still not yet done?” “About what?”“About your tiny argument?” he said, quoting the air when he uttered the word tiny. Fighting is bad. It’s not a good thing if the kid will be able to witness you fight.”Forcing a smile and showing that it was not true, I said, “We are not fighting. Why would we?”“Daddy said that only married couples fight.”“That’s not true. Friends also fight.” I remembered when the three of us had our pity fighters over some apple. I wanted the apple to be peeled. But the two did not want to. And in the end, the day of our supposed to be eventful picnic was ruined because I stormed out all because of that damned apple. “They fight and they become friends again,” Beta Maddox stated. Did we make up after that fi
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [54]
AUTUMN:Beta Maddox growled at me while Cedric was watching our engagement. “You’re so sweet,” he commented. “Is this how you show your affections towards each other?”“We’re not sweet!” the beta and I said at the same time. I scoffed at him and he glared at me. The only thing that he was good at was glare at me. “I hate him,” I exclaimed. “I don’t care if you tell the alpha about our connection. I don’t care at all.”“You don’t care because you already told the alpha about it,” Maddox said. I did. What can you do right now, Maddox? No matter what you do, I will never tell you the truth. Overthink. Worry. That's what I wanted you to do. “Whoa. You two are different.”“We can never be the same, Cedric. I hate his guts. And I was glad we are no longer bound to each other.”“So you two rejected each other.”“We did and that was one of the best decisions I made in my entire life,” I commented. "You're not the only one," Maddox seconded.Cedric chuckled and flinched when he felt the
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [53]
AUTUMN:Hot tears rolled down from my eyes while glaring at Beta Maddox. I was the one who slapped him, but I was the one who was crying right now. My hands shook. “Are you done ruining my confidence? Are you happy, Maddox?”I never bothered to hide how much I hated him. Let him know that he was not the only one who did not like being paired with him.He faced me. There was an imprint of my hands on his cheeks. Good. I wanted to add another hand imprint on the other side of his cheeks. “Do you even think I like you even? I would rather die alone than being paired with you. Seeing you makes me sick, Maddox. Why are you even proud of yourself? Without your family's name, you are nothing. Without Hugh, you are nothing.” He did not know it, but I was there when his Dad told him to befriend the alpha. He added that having Hugh by his side would be beneficial for them and that Maddox would be able to use it when the right time comes. The right was when they both became an adult and b
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [52]
AUTUMN:I was expecting that it would take a long time before Hugh and Maddox arrived in the house since it was a long drive from the pack and here, but it only took an hour before they arrived. "Where is your man?" Hugh asked the moment he arrived. He was not listening. "I don't have a man. What the heck are you talking about? Why would I have a man? I did not slave myself in taking care of your son and asked someone to come here and do whatever you were imaging right now in your head." Seeing how he had reacted, I was certain he was imagining the worst. Could I slap him for once? I was not that kind of woman for crying out loud!"You said a man is sleeping in your room.""Yes, I did. He is currently in the living room. I wanted to drag him to the second floor to the guest house but he was too heavy. I also cleaned the blood on the floor. See the blood on my shirt? This came from the man. You can thank me later. You are welcome.""Blood? Is there a fight? Are you okay?" Hugh asked
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [51]
ALPHA HUGH:I grabbed my jacket and put it on after dropping the call from Autumn's link. She was with a man while taking care of my son? How could she do it? Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where are you going? Can’t you see there’s a lot of documents that need your attention? Plus there’s an incoming war where we might be involved. Hugh. I do understand that you wanted to see Gabby, but now is not the right time for that. It can wait.”“A war will never take place. I will do my best not to get involved.” It was an ongoing rift between the neighboring pack and mine. It started from Dad’s time and until now, it had never been solved. As the time went by, the conflict turned even worse. “There should never be a war. We cannot afford to lose innocent lives, Maddox.”“Right. I’m glad that you know it. Where are you again?”“Home.”“Home? Why? Did something happen to Gabby?” He rose from his seat and grabbed his coat, too. When it comes to my son, he will leave all the th
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [50]
AUTUMN:My heart hammered against my chest. I wanted to go to my room and grab some knives. If things get worse, at least I have something to defend myself. But it would only be a waste of time. With calculated steps, I went downstairs, tiptoeing. Was I stupid for walking downstairs like this without any weapon in my hand? Yes, I was. I should lock the door and wait until the thief steals everything. This was not my house. I did not care anything about the objects inside. Besides, the alpha was already filthy rich. He could buy and replace anything that would be stolen. But my life? It will never be replaced. There was only one foolish Autumn who died from fighting off the thief whom she did not know if she could handle or not. But no. I had to play a hero for the kid and go after the culprit.I might die because of this. But at least, I will die of a noble death. What will you do if you're already six feet below the ground?Dang.I never dreamed of dying and becoming a hero.
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [49]
AUTUMN:Two days had passed since the last time that Eric had visited and he never had visited again. I did not know what had happened to him. Did I miss his presence? Kind of. He broke the monotony of my life. When I was with Eric, I could laugh easily.Still…it did not mean that I missed him. And even if he did not visit this house for a year, it was fine with me since I really did not wait for his presence. Life must go on whether he will come or not.“Are you done coloring the apple?” I asked. We were inside the kid’s room. The room was more spacious than my room at the pack. It was also tidy. There was another room for his playground where there was also a basketball ring.I envied this child. Even if he was still a child, he already experienced luxury, unlike me who already witnessed how difficult it was to live alone without my parents.If you did not only kill your family…I closed my eyes and breathed deeply.That voice would occasionally enter my mind every now and then.
