THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [114]
AUTUMN:My eyes widened, feeling the Alpha's lips pressed on my own lips. It was warm like him and it felt like when we were children, harmlessly giving each other kisses on the lips without any malice at all. Just innocent children who treated each other as kids. Get a grip, Autumn! This is not a friendly kiss! This is a kiss between a grown man and a woman!To validate my statement, Alpha Hugh started moving his tongue, licking my lips. I almost moaned and stopped myself before I could embarrass myself even more. The alpha did not think any more of the possibility of us being seen by his mom. His hands started moving on their own and reached my breast and slowly massaged it. A gasp escaped my lips, and I used the opportunity to shove his tongue inside my mouth. And I said that this kiss was a friendship kiss? There was nothing friendly in this! Though I admit that his kisses were nothing but sweet and slow at the same time.His kisses made me forget the cold. What I felt was a

115AUTUMN: “Mom! That’s enough disrespect!” Hugh exclaimed, his voice echoing across the four walls of this room. “Slave or not, you should treat people with respect. I will never tolerate any of this. You know I always treat my people with the same respect I give you.” Luna Joy’s eyes narrowed. “You’re raising your voice at me now. All because of that woman? Was she good in bed? Did that woman bewitch you?” “Nothing of that sort happened, Luna Joy. I did not know any kind of witchery,” I explained. She pointed her fingers at me and snarled, “Don’t talk when you were not asked to! Hearing your voice will only make everything worse. I hate it. I hate everything about you.” My heart felt like it was being ripped apart.Of all the women I know, Luna Joy was the only one whom I expected as someone who would understand me. But now. It did not happen. She was the first one who did not understand me. She was full of judgments. We just kissed. Twice, but I was already a whore in he

AUTUMN:You want Hugh to stop defending you, yet you dared to be hurt all because he said you two are friends? You’re confusing me, Autumn, the other part of my mind said. “She's my nanny, Grandma, and Miss Autumn is the best nanny for me,” Gabriel declared while kicking his legs under the table. Crumbs of bread were all over his face. I grabbed some table napkins and wiped the smudges on the corner of his lips.“See that, Grandma? Miss Autumn always takes care of me. I like her so much.”My hand stilled.I did not intend to act as if I were a loving nanny in front of Hugh’s parents. It was never my intention to make them believe that I was a loving nanny. I continued wiping his mouth and made a mental note to just let Gabriel dirty his face. The luna will only think that I was acting anyway all because they were watching me. “Please sit beside me, Miss Autumn,” the child pleaded. “Where have you been, Miss Autumn? I haven't seen you.” He pouted. “Please?”Luna Joy looked at Gabrie

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox was oblivious to the tension inside the dining room. He went straight to the refrigerator, opened it and grabbed a bottle of cold water.He entered the room as if he was drunk, and could not even walk straight. Groggily entered the room and did not even see that we were there. Was he that oblivious? Or was he that sick? I found myself on the verge of standing and helped him, but then realized I was in the presence of Hugh’s mom. Which reminded me that I forgot to send him any food at all. How could I eat right now, without even remembering that he was also hungry? Maybe he was only forced to enter the kitchen all because he had no one to order.Damn it.Despite the kind of relationship we had, I could not fathom leaving him alone in his room to die. Still not seeing us, he returned to where he came from, back to his own private room where he could rest again.When everyone was no longer in shock at the beta’s sudden arrival, Luna Joy called him, but it seemed

AUTUMN:My heart leaped at the beta’s confession, which he rarely does in this lifetime. I, myself, was also shocked about it, though the beta and the alpha were always vocal about their feelings towards me when we were children. Damn.Sometimes, I wished we were still children. “You have a crush on me?”“When we were children. You also know about that. Don’t act as if you are surprised.”“I am surprised.” “Don’t give me that shit.”“Well, don’t also give me that dirty talk or I might staple your mouth,” I threatened.He glared at me, but that was only what he was capable of doing right now. Glare. “Let’s not fight, Beta maddox. You should focus on your recovery, you know.”“If someone like you keeps on visiting my room, no one will recover right away.”“If this someone stopped visiting you, do you think you got the chance to heal right away? You will not, Beta Maddox. Going back to the topic earlier, may I know what you liked about me?”He grabbed one pillow and put it on his lap

AUTUMN:I was expecting that the beta would give his rebuttal. That he would say it will never happen. That he will never regret rejecting me. But instead, he looked away."Will I?""I was only teasing you," I said, taking back my words when I saw the expression on his face. It seemed as if he regretted everything he did to me. Or maybe I was only delusional. That might be the best explanation. There was no way he would regret rejecting me. "Of course, that won't happen. You love your beloved Sabrina. And when you marry, the love you feel for each other will deepen even more.""Is that how you look at it?""Yes. That's what will happen shortly since you chose Sabrina over me. You should make sure that it will be worth it,” I pressed and waited for his reaction. He heaved a sigh and met my gaze. "I don't really know."I chuckled. “Don't tell me you're in doubt after everything?" Beta Maddox did not join my happiness.To hide the awkwardness, I laughed out loud.Damn it. Why don’t you

ALPHA HUGH:Autumn was nowhere to be seen. Mom and Dad were already bidding their goodbye, but she was not around. I was not the only one who noticed her absence. Mom, too. Her mood did not even get better. It turned worse seeing that Autumn was not here to send her off. "See you around, Grandma."Looking down, she smiled at my son. "See you too, Gabriel. Be a good boy. Be healthy and inherit your Dad's position in the pack. You have to become the alpha, okay?"With pure innocence, my son nodded.But I will never force him to do something he did not want. "Alright, Grandma. I will become strong so that I will protect Miss Autumn and you."Her smile disappeared from her lips hearing Autumn's name. "Speaking of that woman, where is he? Isn't she supposed to be Gabriel's nanny? Hugh. You explain why she’s not here.""I sent her an errand, Mom," I lied, hoping that Mom would not catch my lie, which she always did. I could not hide anything from her. "You're always sending her to an e

ALPHA HUGH:It did not enter my mind that Maddox would snatch Autumn away from us. If I did, I would just keep my mouth shut and let him marry that woman. 'Maddox has his own standard.''Standard? I did not believe in that kind of bullshit. Anyone would take Autumn as his mate. That bastard Eric was proof of that. Don't you add any more of our competitors? It's already difficult winning our mate's heart.'"I don't know, Hugh. Everyone is telling me that I should not marry her.""Who?""Autumn. My wolf.""What do you think of Sabrina?"He met my gaze. "She's someone I can use. That includes their money and status."He rejected me because I was useless to him. "So...you're only using her. Would it be worth your future?”“It is. Worth everything. I already invested a lot in Sabrina. If I drop this wedding, what will my family think?”“Stop thinking about your family. You start thinking about yourself. Anyways, that's your life, Maddox.”“Why are you interested in my relationship with he

AUTUMN:Eric had found his mate, something which we did not expect at all, especially him. His eyebrows met, and I could see the visible worry on his face. Worry for this woman.My heart sank, and I bit my lower lip. Dang it. Why did I finally become sad? "Let's bring him to the hospital," I said when he just stared at the woman, completely mesmerized. "Just to be sure. She might have unseen injuries which we did not know at all."His eyes never left the woman, and he did not respond to me right away. I shifted my eyes at the woman. Curly red hair. Oval face and breast that perfectly molded her body. Despite her dirty appearance, she was gorgeous.Eric cleared his throat. This must be the first time he saw his mate. "You're right. Let's bring her to the hospital."Just as he was about to scope her in his arms, the woman's eyes snapped open until her eyes landed on Eric. First, it was confusing. Followed by fear when she realized all eyes were on her. My heart sank.I knew what w

AUTUMN:"Hey? Are you okay, Eric? Did I say something wrong? You suddenly turned quiet," I asked. I wondered if it had something to do with what I replied earlier? Do you not like any surprises?Silence stretched between us, until he finally replied, "It's nothing."That was one of my pet peeves— saying it was nothing, but it was actually something for that person. "O-Okay. But it looked like it was nothing. Something made you quiet, Eric. It's good to tell me about it."He forced a smile. "It's nothing that you should be worried about, Autumn."I gave him a half-shrug and stared right ahead. I had to let him do whatever he wanted. For now.The image of that beautiful house resurfaced inside my head. I wish I could also have a house in the near future. "So, what are you planning with that house? Will you do some buy and sell? You will buy and then you will sell it again for a reasonable price after some renovations? Or will you make it as yours I don't know. Maybe vacations? Is you
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |126|
AUTUMN:I was not bothered at all or scared at what Hugh would do to me. He will never hurt me. What I was scared of was Eric. I was scared for his safety. The two might kill each other all because of me. Before they would kill each other, I moved away from Eric.“I-I am fine, Eric. Thank you very much for thinking about me.”His shoulders fell on both sides. He might feel that I was rejecting him and his touch. My stomach churned slightly. I wanted to return to his arms, so as not to hurt him, but if I did that, Hugh would be mad too. The best thing to do was to stay out of his sight as soon as possible.Remembering that they were supposed to go out, I halted and faced the alpha. “Please allow me to go with Eric. He wants me to come with him to check some property.” Hugh’s eyes narrowed, and he pocketed his hands.“Why did it have to be you? He has a lot of people under him.”“I don't know, Alpha Hugh. But maybe it's because he wanted me to tour around the area.” It was only rar
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |125|
AUTUMN:I cared about the alpha's feelings, too, but it did not mean I would drive Eric away because of him. That man did not do anything wrong at all and it would be a shame if I told him to return to his home without him doing anything wrong. "You think I am that kind of woman? That I am heartless?" I asked. Until now, it was still a surprise how little he thought of me. "Let me go, Hugh. Put me down. If you think I am that kind of selfish, put me down."He groaned. "That's not what I am trying to say.""It looks the same to me, anyway. If you don't trust me. If you think this is unfair to you, Hugh, stop pursuing me.""No, never," he growled. With reluctance, he let go of me and put me down. Then, I ran towards Eric, who was watching Hugh with an intense look. Never wasting anything, he asked, "May I know if you two are already in a relationship?" Glancing over my shoulder, Alpha Hugh was now sauntering towards us. "No. Not yet." "Not yet," he whispered. "So you have plans of

Cg you. Remember when we were children? I always carried you on my back.” He had a faraway look on his face. I smiled at the memory. “You always called me heavy,” I recalled and sighed. “You and Maddox would always tease me saying I weighed like an elephant.” I would believe them, then I would cry. That was the only time that they would stop. He smiled.My heart fluttered, seeing his gorgeous smile. He was always handsome no matter what he did. I stilled, realizing I was already gawking at him. What was worse was that I was already complimenting him, and no bad words would come out of my mouth. Damn. Since when did I always compliment him?“I wished we could return to the past, Autumn.”Go back to the past, huh. I wrapped my arms around his neck and inhaled his scent deeply. He smelled so good. I could smell traces of his aftershave and the soap he used.“We can no longer go back to the past. All we can do right now is focus on the present.”“The present is this you, Autumn. And

AUTUMN:Hugh’s eyes went down and then back to my face. Could the snow bury me alive? How could I face him like this?“A-Autumn?”My cheeks flamed. “Turn around! Dammit!”He jerked and finally realized what I was saying and obliged.“Why are you n-naked?”It was already normal for werewolves like us to be naked. It was no big deal. We were usually like this after shifting back to our human form but being seen by the alpha was never okay. He didn't even say any part of my body when we were children. How much more when we were already adults?“Why are you here, Hugh?”“I was looking for you all over the house. Did you sleep here? Out of the cold?”With his back against me, I put all my clothes as fast as I could while my heart was beating wildly against my ribcage.What kind of bad luck did this day carry? I wished it would be gone.“Blame it on my wolf. She wanted to run. I did some favors, but what did she do? She slept in here without realizing how dangerous it was!”“Yeah. A bear mi
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [122]
AUTUMN:"Shit," I muttered to myself when I found myself naked in the middle of nowhere. I was back to my human form buck naked.Scanning my surroundings, I heaved a sigh when I saw there was no one except me and a few squirrels in the surroundings. 'What happened, Trisha?' I asked. After shifting into my wolf form, Trisha took care of my body. She kept on running in the woods and chased some bears. I got exhausted by what she was doing and sank into the background, and then I did not know anymore what happened next.“It’s morning already?” I exclaimed and hurried. ‘How come you did not wake me up?’ I scolded my wolf. What's the point of waking you up when we will only see that woman's face? No. I would rather stay here. Out in the cold than facing Luna Joy. I'm afraid if I keep on facing her, I will not be able to stop myself from biting back. She will not like us even more.'Looking around, I tried to spot the tree where I hid my clothes. Where was it again?I sniffed the surroun
