THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [12]
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

AUTUMN:If looks could kill, Sabrina would kill us right now. She was glaring at us and it looked like she would pounce any minute. The worst thing that this woman could do was create a scandal and pull my hair in front of the public.It was because of the beta. Him approaching me would only attract a lot of chaos from this woman. “It’s time for you to run away, Beta Maddox. Your mate will kill me. See how her nostrils flared?” Sabrina clenched her fist as if she was promising herself that she would punish me if she ever reached us.I was not scared of her. At all. What I was worried about was Trisha— my wolf and what she would do. “She’s not my mate,” he corrected, as if there was a need to do so. Which he did not have to. “What's going on between us is complicated,” he continued. There's no need for you to explain! You really did not have to! Don't you dare confuse me as if you’re going to accept me if Sabrina is out of the equation. “She is your mate,” I corrected. “You had cho

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox personally chose the dress for me. Those words had been ringing non stop in my mind for a couple of minutes until I was able to give him a reply. Yes. It took me longer than that. “But you did not give it to me? I mean…you did not buy it for me? You did not spend your money on this dress?”It was only a dress, Autumn. Why can’t you let it go?It might only be a dress, but it meant a lot if that person had given it out of good will. That he had given it because he wanted to. And that no one was forcing him, too. After my family's death, I had been living alone, trying to survive even if I did not deserve to live. And this dress…I was already getting emotional. Damn it. Beta Maddox averted his gaze for a couple of minutes, before he said, “The owner said that I could not divulge the identity of him. He wanted it to remain that way.”Cannot? Or he did not want to?“Whatever. Save it to yourself. I don't care about it, anyway. I only wanted to know if it was real

AUTUMN:Like a child, Sabrina stomped her foot and held her ground, refusing to listen to the beta. “She’s the one who started it! She wants to take you away from me! This bitch. I don't know how she remained alive after what she did to her family. She does not deserve to live!”My inside shook upon hearing my family on his lips. I clenched my fist and tried to stop myself from slapping her. How dare she mention my family with her mouth. Although she was also right. I did not deserve to live after everything. “Sabrina. That's not something that you would say in public,” the beta warned.The woman slapped his hands away. Now, we finally grabbed almost everyone’s attention. I just wanted to disappear. A slave fighting with a free she-wolf, especially the woman of the second most powerful person in the pack, was not something that would be taken lightly. I could be punished for this or may attract a lot of enemies.Damn it. Talking about my family was not something I took lightly.

THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [96]
AUTUMN:I could feel Alpha Hugh's on me and Eric. He had a lot of questions. I could see it in his eyes, but he did not blurt them out loud. We were not doing anything wrong, but why did my heart keep on beating wildly against my ribcage? Why did I feel as if I was scared that he would say something like he was disappointed that I was accepting Eric even if it was still my work. "No, Alpha Hugh," Eric responded. He never bothered to step back so that Alpha Hugh would stop giving us weird looks. I shifted my weight from foot to foot. How do I deal with situations like this? I did not know how. When I was serving as the slave of the pack, all I cared about was on how to do my assigned work. Who would have thought that there would be an upgrade and that I would also be thinking about me? When Alpha Hugh continued staring at us, I put a safe space between Eric and me. Alpha Hugh did not answer for a few minutes and only stared at us. Damn it. What did he want? I already put some
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [95]
AUTUMN:ALPHA HUGH was about to say something, but chose to close his mouth. Then he said, “I will call you later, dad.”I sighed in relief. I did not wahg to see any member of his family and put myself in a miserable situation. I was not ready to see the disappointed look on their faces. “Hugh. Is it true that you found your mate? We need to celebrate. You should inform the pack about it.” This was the first time I heard the former alpha this happy. Normally, he was always serious and his voice felt like thunder echoing from all over the pack house. But now…all I heard was a dad who was genuinely happy for his son. Would he be happy like that if he found out that it was me? Remembering my childhood, the alpha's family were hospitable and treated me kindly when my dad was still alive. They let me play with Alpha Hugh. Everything only changed when I became an orphan. “I will, Dad,” he said and added, “I will tell the rest of the details when I visit the house again with my son.”He
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [94]
AUTUMN:“WHAT DO you want me to do for you, Autumn?” Alpha Hugh asked, sounding hopeful. I pretended to think for a moment, even if I already knew what I wanted from the beginning. My freedom. From him. From being the slave of the pack. I just wanted to be free where I could finally be happy. Did I deserve to be happy? After what happens to my family? “You know what I want in the beginning. Reject me,” I asked instead. “If you do that, then I will know that you're being serious about it.”His face hardened. “I cannot do that. I want to keep you, Autumn. Rejecting you is the last thing that I will do.”“Really? If that's the case, you will introduce me to your family.”Of course he was not able to do that. He could not do that. This was the alpha we were talking about. His eyes widened. I was already expecting that reaction and he would say no. Think of all the alibis he could say. He will disappoint me again. Just as I was about to open my mouth, he said, “Is that what you want?
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [93]
AUTUMN:THE REST OF THE DAYS flew smoothly. Beta Maddox and I would occasionally meet in any of the corners of the house, but I was the one who would look away and pretend that I did not see him at all. The beta had not given me his decision whether he was going to pay for my talent fee or not. Yes. He should be paying me for my talent since I was the one who would face Sabrina whom I was certain would only mock me or even bully me there. When they wed, I will no longer bring any gifts for them. My presence was already enough. Let us see if Sabrina could still fathom seeing me. One time, when our path crossed when we were in the stairs, the beta would open his mouth, and was about to say something. I waited until words would come out from his mouth…that he would call my name, but he would go on and pretend as if he did not see me too.Coward or what? I guessed he was not willing to spend some fortune for his beloved Sabrina. If the beta was acting nonchalant, the alpha was the o

AUTUMN:Cedric’s eyes shifted from the alpha, the beta, and me. And shook his head. “Something must be really wrong with you three,” Cedric stated. “I don’t understand this kind of set-up. How come it’s fine with the three of you to be paired with somebody else? You don’t know how painful it is when your mate will marry someone else. To the point that you wanted to die,” he explained. “You three should fix this one.”“There is nothing to fix since this connection was already destroyed before it will start.”Was I in pain? I was still. But I did not want to look miserable in front of them. “Autumn….” Alpha Hugh called. I raised my hand. “You don't have to defend yourself, Alpha Hugh. I perfectly know the reason. That's why I am shifting my focus on Eric. He is a good man. And whatever you say, nothing will make me change my mind.”Cedric shook his head again. “Why was I the only one who thought the three of you should do something about it?”“Nothing should be done, Cedric. I am alr
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [91]
AUTUMN: Sabrina must be freaking kidding me. What the heck was she thinking asking me to be her bridesmaid? Was she out of her mjns;? “Tell her she did not know what she was asking,” I muttered. If she will not practice now, what will she do? “Of all the women, why did it have to be Autumn? No offense, beta maddox, but your woman…she’s crazy sometimes.” “It’s not sometimes. She is always crazy.” What was her deal? Why did she have to ask for my presence at her wedding? It only meant one thing. “Did she know about our connection? Did you tell her about us?” Beta Maddox’s brows furrowed. “Why would I do that?” “You’re the only one who could answer that one, Beta Maddox. But you can tell your fiancee that I am busy. There’s so many things to do inside this house.” “You’re never busy, Autumn,” the beta insisted. I know what you're doing inside this house. You rarely take care of Gabriel. You let him do whatever he wants while you clean. Is cleaning more important than the future a
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [90]
AUTUMN:I was already expecting that no one would answer Cedric’s question, but the beta responded, “It's because of the impending war. We don't want to lose our people and the alpha needs to marry the Alpha's daughter to save our people.”“I haven't decided yet, Maddox. Right now, I want you to shut your mouth while I think about it.”“I thought we were done with this, Hugh? You said you're going to meet that woman.” “I did say that, but I never said any date. I need to think about this a couple of times.”“Fuck,” Maddox cursed. “Do you think your people could wait? You heated them every day. And yet you could not even decide right now? What is stopping you, Hugh? Wake up! The people needed you!”Where was Gabriel again? I was glad that he was not here. Maybe he went upstairs and went to his room. It was safe if we were the only ones who talked about it.“Don’t you think I did not know that, Maddox? I am aware that the war should be stopped before it takes place, but I don’t want to
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [89]
AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh’s eyes widened. “You’re in a relationship now?”“Yes,” I replied. “So please allow me to reject you, Alpha Hugh. Or you can reject me right now. it will be both beneficial for the two of us, Alpha HUgh. Let’s free ourselves from each other.”His face darkened once again. “No.”Someone suddenly cleared his throat. Glancing over my shoulder, I found Eric standing while holding some snacks. The sight made my stomach growl. “Uhm, did I interrupt something?”Alpha Hugh stood. “Gabby and I are going now. You can come with us if you want, Autumn.”Come with him? What did he think of me? Shameless and did not even have any dignity at all? After what he revealed, the more I wanted to stay here and think about everything once and for all. “No. I want to spend more time with Eric, Alpha Hugh. We will go home later.”“Don’t come home late,” he recalled and went inside his awaiting car. I gave me a curt nod. “Here, Autumn.” Eric gave me a cup and it turned out it was some kin
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [88]
AUTUMN:What the heck was happening with my life? My first mate rejected me. My second chance mate was undecided with me. And now, he was telling me about a woman whom he was going to marry without even considering my feelings?Isn’t asking what you think of him marrying someone else one way of considering your feelings? another part of my mind asked. Would it be better if I did not know at all? ‘It was your fault in the first place,’ Trisha stated. ‘You told him you’re going to accept Eric’s feelings right now. That might be the reason why he finally decided on considering the woman as his wife.’‘He really did not have any feelings for me, right?’ All he wanted was to be friends with me again. Nothing else. ‘Tell me what I should do, Trisha.’My heart felt suddenly heavy as if there was a large elephant inside it.I just wanted to shift and let Trisha take over. A long run would be nice. I was pathetic. How could I long for someone’s acceptance to be his mate? How could I not mov
