THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [25]
AUTUMN:I sucked a deep breath and faced Alpha Hugh. Was he for real? Was he serious? If he was, he was one scary man. “If you will only kill him, I would rather keep my mouth shut, Alpha Hugh.” I made a mental note to choose my words carefully as it would either endanger the person. “There is no way someone’s life will be at risk because of me.”‘That’s what you get for lying,’ Trisha commented. I bit my lower lip. “A name,” he said in a controlled voice. “If you keep on protecting that bastard, he is not the only one who will be punished. That includes you as well. My beast will not be able to save you if I toss you in the dungeon and put you there for a week.”A week? That was too much.“Now, give me a name, Autumn. If I were you, I would no longer protect him.”Perhaps taunting the alpha was not even a good idea at all. “I won’t give you one.”“And why is that?”“How could I when that man did not even exist?”“Are you messing up with me?” he growled. “Don’t you test my patie

AUTUMN:Why was I begging for something which I deserve in the first place?"If you will not punish me for failing to work and help the other slaves in cleaning the Great Hall, let me excuse myself, Alpha Hugh."He raised an eyebrow. "Are you in a hurry that you cannot spare the alpha your time? Why? You're going to meet your boyfriend?" he mocked. “Remember what I told you? I will kill your man.”If he was the beta, maybe he would push me to be with the other man. Unlike the alpha. I did not get him at all. He was unpredictable. "If you want to put it that way, my imaginary boyfriend, yes. I am going to meet him."“You’re pushing me to my limits, Autumn. Just because I am treating you nice does not mean that you can do whatever you want. I am your alpha. I am your mate as long as I do not reject you.”“As long as I did not reject you, too.”“Can you?”I averted my gaze. My wolf was still bound to follow him since he was my alpha. Nibbling my bottom lip, I said, “Fine. What do you

AUTUMN:I gave in to the temptations, I muttered to myself as I settled next to the beta. Of all the men who could accompany me to the alpha's house, it had to be the beta!We sat on the passenger's seat while someone was driving. No one would be able to hear our conversation since the beta was careful enough to lift up the sound proof window.Damn it! Who would say no to opportunities like that? Despite knowing the real reason behind asking me to live with them and be the alpha and beta’s personal maid, I still give it a go. If I will just suffer, I will suffer while earning cash at the same time. The alpha said that I could have whatever I wanted. And I will have it. I will buy my freedom and will be the one to reject him in the end. ‘You still have the chance to back out now,’ Trisha said. ‘No way. I will stick to my decision,’ I responded. I will make sure that I will use this opportunity to my advantage. I admitted that doubling my salary or tripling it was the one thing tha

AUTUMN:My heart raced. With our faces only inches apart and Beta Maddox’s hands wrapped around my waist, my mind could no longer think carefully. How could I when he is this close?The beta suddenly checked my body, looking for some wounds. Which was an exaggeration since we did not hit something. The diver just pulled into a stop. I was not able to brace for impact and that was it.“Are you okay? Is there some pain you felt?” he asked once more. He was seriously concerned about me. Why? “Careful when you drive!” he demanded. This kind of concern was melting my heart. My heart raced. “I’m okay. W-will you please stop touching me, Beta Maddox?” I asked. “M-move aside. I don't like you being this near to me.”Confusion passed in his eyes. As if realizing only now our situation, he let me go and averted his gaze. “Don’t think of anything that happened.”“I’m not,” I answered and straightened myself. “Next time, don’t pretend as if you are concerned about me, because we all know that

AUTUMN:What was happening to me? I should not even say anything to Beta Maddox or share anything like that. Nothing changed between us. He was my enemy. I hated him for rejecting me and I should not forget about that.I cleared my throat. “Forget about what I said.”“You can still go to school if you want. I heard that you have already finished your senior high. In the past. There were a lot of people out there who finished school even if they are old. Age should always be a number.”Was this man seriously giving me advice? From the beta who never failed to show that I was undeserving? I smirked as I continued to follow him. The alpha’s house was really massive and if I was the only one here, then it would take me a long time before I could finish this one. “You seemed to be updated about my life.” Did he ask someone? Or did he check my record? When? Why did he do that? What did it mean? “It flattered me that you are also curious about my life, Beta Maddox.”He was not really sayin

AUTUMN:The beta was freaking kissing me! The beta who never failed to let me know how much he hated me was kissing me?My head spun as I tried to understand what he was doing.Even my wolf did not know how to react. Nevertheless, his lips were as soft as a cotton candy. Which reminded me of our history as childhood best friends. He would give me one when his family would go out for a family outing. The beta pressed himself against me and kissed me deeply. He nibbled on my lips while his hands were busy roaming around my body.He was hard as rock, which contradicts my body.Sparks flew between us, and for a moment, I saw my wolf suddenly gave me some reaction— she sighed. Noticing that I was watching her reaction, she suddenly vanished in my head.Beta Maddox pressed his body against mine. His hands finally rested on my waist. His hands were warm just like his lips. I loved the feeling of his rocked hard body. He had done a lot of working out. Maybe he went to the gym with the al

AUTUMN:“Do I look like this is my child?” Beta Maddox asked. “Seriously?” My eyes darted to Beta Maddox and the child who was now glaring at me. They were not alike. I did not see any resemblance which only meant one thing. This child was the alpha. I was sure of it. But the way the child acted was more like the beta.Did Beta Maddox somewhat influence the child’s behavior? That could be the case if the two kept on being with each other. What was puzzling was the fact that the alpha was able to hide this boy from us. What was his reason or reasons? The pack did not know he had a son. Even rumors about him fathering a child was unheard off. “You two were nothing alike,” I whispered. Excluding the behavior. “I have a hunch who is the father of this child.”Until now, I could not believe that the alpha had a child. “Who is she, Uncle Maddox?” Uncle Maddox. That confirmed my hunch. The child was handsome. He had tantalizing eyes. Those eyes also showed a lot of maturity as if he h

AUTUMN:Whether I had a crush on the beta or not should be nothing to Alpha Hugh. He kept me, his mate as a secret so I was noBut the curiosity on his face was…interesting. More interesting than knowing that he already had a child. What would you do if you found out that he had a child or not? the other part of my mind said. He never considered you as his mate. He will never be. You already know the real reason why he asked you to live with them and that’s something to do with his child. The truth was…we did not have any feelings involved at all.“What if I have a crush on him? What will you do?”“I am your mate,” he stated. It looked like he was only holding himself, not to get angry. “What if you are my mate? Will it change anything at all?” I asked back. “You don’t have any feelings for me. And the child…you already have a son and that's what I want to know, Alpha Hugh. Hiding your son that long. Wow.” I clapped my hands. “You never failed to surprise me.”No wonder it took him

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

AUTUMN:Who was going to get married? Alpha Hugh? To whom?What if it's you? the other part of my mind said.Me? Why would we enter a marriage of convenience?There was something like a lump on my throat."What do you mean by that?""I am just asking. That's all. You seemed to believe in marriage.""You don't'?""I...I haven't found someone whom I want to marry."My heart sank.In short, he had not found me. He did not see my worth as a person. He did not believe that I was some kind of wife material.Pathetic. How could I continue thinking foolishly? it was clear that this man had never seen me at all as a potential wife. Maybe a potential made of his house.Damn it.What did I really want from him?"Are you sure? Then why do you keep on asking about marriage?"He cleared his throat. "The thing is... maybe you are already aware of the conflict between our neighboring pack.""That has been going on for like what? forever? What about it?""The alpha has a daughter."I did not want to l
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [86]
AUTUMN:I thought the alpha would be watching over our conversation, but he did not. Hugh stayed inside the car, watching over his sleeping son. It was too bad that Gabriel did not see the beautiful scenery in front of us. Another attraction of this place was that someone would paint you and give it to you over a few dollars.It was nice for creating memories. Eric had availed the service and gave the painting to me. It was me and him facing the river while I was leaning on his shoulder. It had a romantic atmosphere.I wanted to spend a few dollars on Gabriel and me, but the kid was asleep."So...what do you want to say, Autumn? We've been staring at the river for far too long. But if you want to stay like this, it's fine by me. As long as I got to spend my time with you. We can stay here as long as you want, Autumn."What did I want to say again? That I wanted to give him a chance? Did I not tell him already? Was I about to tell him that I accepted his feelings? That I wanted to g

ALPHA HUGH:'Alpha Hugh. Are you done babysitting your slave?' Maddox asked after I called him. I was still inside the car, and could not leave Gabby alone. Both of the doors were open.'I am not babysitting her, Maddox,' I replied while watching the two sitting side by side, their shoulders already touching each other. My wolf was already growling at me, demanding me to go there and separate the two. It unsettled me after knowing that Autumn was now planning to accept Eric's feelings.'Oh. What are you doing right now, Hugh? I told you that we have a lot of things to do, yet you followed what you wanted and went with the love birds.''They are not love birds,' I corrected. 'Maybe not right now, but later on.''Later on? What do you mean by that?''Autumn...she said that she will now accept Eric's proposal.''What proposal? Wedding proposal?' he asked. 'You know what kind of proposal it is.''After Autumn will say yes, they will complete the mating ceremony which includes biting he

AUTUMN:"Do I like him? Why do you ask, Alpha Hugh? Are you now stepping in on my romance? Will you dictate it, too?""I am only looking after your welfare, Autumn.""I don't think that it's part of your job, Alpha Hugh.""What about what happened last night?"My eyes shifted to the kid who was already sleeping. This kid was a fast sleeper. He would doze off whenever he wanted. I was jealous of that."What about last night?" I asked, acting innocent. "I don't get what you mean by that.""Did you already forget what happened?""What happened last night, Alpha Hugh? Because right now, all I remembered was that I was drinking with you until the beta and Cedric entered the scene and the rest was already hazy.""You did not...remember that I walked you into your room?"I pretended that I was thinking. "Did it happen?""You did not remember," he said quietly, as if he was disappointed. "You did not remember what happened next?""Hmmm. I don't get what you mean by that, Alpha Hugh. I think y

AUTUMN:Walk away. Walk away while you still have the chance, Eric.This was the final test I had for you. Any one in their right mind would walk away and run for their lives. That was what he should be doing right now. I did not want him to be imprisoned by someone like me who did not even have a future.“You kissed the alpha?”“Yes, last night,” I responded without batting an eyelid. “If you cannot deal with that, you still have some time to step away. I will not take it against you.”“Why did you kiss him?”“What if I tell you that I like him?”“You like the alpha? Isn’t he your mate? You told me earlier.”“yes. So, is it fine with you? Me kissing the alpha because if it’s not fine with you, you can walk away, Eric.”His hands dropped to the side. “Why do you keep on driving me away?”“Why not? I am only saving you from doom.”“No. Are you scared?”“Scared about what?”“That you will kill me like what you believe? You think you are cursed and that anyone who would get near you woul

[82]AUTUMN:“Take it or leave it, Autumn,” Alpha Hugh stated. “If you don’t want to, then stay here. You can also have a date. It’s not about the place. It has something to do with your companion,” he stated. He looked like he was already in a lot of relationships. He sounded so much like a professional already when it comes to relationships. “Why would you join us? I assure you, we will only bore you to death, Alpha Hugh.”“I don’t trust Eric for you. That’s all.” What the heck.He woke up on the other side of the bed. How could he say those words like it was nothing? Eric was clearly listening to him! Isn't he embarrassed at all? “You don’t trust him? Why is that? Are you the only one who would be in a relationship with him?”“No. But you’re living under my house and I don’t want anything to happen to you. I am only doing this to protect you.” Ah. So he was pulling the protective card. The safety card. “What's there to protect him? I could perfectly do it for myself?” I asked.
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [81]
AUTUMN:My heart felt like it was so heavy. Why would I need to prove something whenever someone likes me? Why did I have to justify it? Why was there a need to validate it? Why could I not be happy about it? “Men would usually give up on their title just to be with you, Autumn. It's already weird enough.” It was not weird for me because I also deserve to be happy right? Why could he not understand that? “It has nothing to do with me. But them. I never even have any relatives who know how to do such things so please stop saying I put some kind of witchery in a man. I don’t know any of those cheap tricks. I promised myself that if someone liked me, it was because he liked me for who I was not because I put something on his drinks. What do you take me for? A pathetic fool?”Someone cleared his throat. Eric. “Autumn, whatever the beta said, I don't believe him that you're capable of doing such a thing. I believed you. You have a good heart and that's what made me fall for you. I wish
