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

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

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:Fifteen years ago...Autumn was only 8 years old...We sprawled on the grass. The three of us. Maddox. Hugh. And me. All of us were catching our breaths, after running for a long time in the forest. It was fun and exhilarating at the same time. Maddox said it would be more fun if we had our wolves, but we had not reached our eighteenth birthday, yet so there were no signs of it. "That was fun," Hugh declared, the eldest among us being ten years old. But he did not look like ten years old. He had a huge body and daddy said that he would become a fine alpha with all the muscles and genes he had. Between Maddox and him, he was the tallest with the rest of us and the leader of the among us. "If we had our wolves, then, we would be faster than we ran using our feet," Maddox stated. He was one year younger than Hugh was. Two years older than me. But still, it did not stop us from forming a bond. I did not know how our friendship started, but daddy said that it had something to

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox and my eyes met. Then, he opened his mouth, but I could not make out what he was saying. The woman who was kicking me suddenly dispersed and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he was suddenly in front of me and helped me get up. His mouth opened, but I could not hear anything. ‘Mate,’ Trisha whispered.Images of our childhood resurfaced of him promising me to take me as his mate and rejecting anyone if it was not me.This time, this was no longer our decision, but the Moon Goddess herself.Did the Moon Goddess pitied me this time?“Autumn,” he called, glancing at the surroundings. We were in the secluded part of the pack house, where only a few would pass. This was the part of the house going to the utility room where it was also rumored to be housing a lot of ghosts.Beta Maddox helped me stand and nearly released me when we both felt the strong flow of electricity when our skin contacted.It was undeniable and without a doubt he was my mate.Finally.“You are my ma

AUTUMN:It had been a week after the beta’s rejection and I was pretending that everything was normal. No. My bad. There were no pretensions anymore because no one was giving me their attention. No one. So there was no pretending at all since they did not see me.I was doing my usual work in the pack house. Cleaning the hallway. Wiping the portraits on the wall. Wiping the dust of the enormous sculptures. Everything was monotonous. And it was already tiring. Lazily, I dragged the mop back to the utility room. I had already finished cleaning everything. There were a few omega's that I had met, but no one bothered to say their greetings. All feared me. A gasp escaped my lips when I felt the sticky liquid on my hair. With shaky hands, I reached out and found out it was nothing but an egg thrown on my hair. Again? Incidents like this were no longer new.The hall rang with laughter coming from my pack members. ‘Don’t tell me you will do nothing?’ Trisha asked, baring her teeth to me.

AUTUMN: Beta Maddox looked like a god who had walked here on earth. All the women had gaped at him as if he was what they were worshipping on the ground he walked. My stomach churned. Why did he have the perfect timing? Always seeing my pathetic side. The bullied. The weak. “Beta Maddox.” The crowd dispersed and parted. With my heads bowed, I waited for the footsteps to stop until I could see feet right in front of me. I had to stop myself from inhaling his delicious scent. Damn it. Why did he have to barge in and pretend that he did not reject me? I hated him. I loathed how he tossed our past. "Bullying in front of the daylight?" Beta Maddox asked. Why do you ask when you even rejected me. Secretly. ‘Why? You want the world to know that he rejected you and that you want it to be out in the open?’ Trisha asked. “Sabrina!” The woman paled. Sabrina was too flabbergasted to answer. She should have reacted that way. Bullying was prohibited in the pack, but it was

AUTUMN:What? Beta Maddox did not expect that I would rob it into his face? Shame on him! “Watch your mouth, Autumn,” he whispered, his voice flat. "I am still your beta. I am your superior. You follow whatever I say."I am your ex-mate, I wanted to say, but stopped myself from saying it. “Why would I? Will you punish me? Do it. All of you are good at bullying me so it does not make any difference at all.”“All I am saying is that…”“What?”“We are no longer eight and nine years old, Autumn. We are already adults. That's why I am asking you to talk in private.”I scoffed. “No. You talk to me in private because you do not want the pack to know that you're paired to a curse one? Enough of being a fake knight-in-shining armor, Beta Maddox. You already rejected me. So please stop giving me your fake care."He heaved a long sigh. "Everyone who is bullied, I will do the same to save them, Autumn.""Whatever you say, Beta Maddox. If you will excuse me."Gathering my cleaning utensils, I w

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

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
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [120]
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
