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

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.

    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. I did not know what his deal was, but I definitely did not like how he was always emotional when it comes to whatever I say and do.Everything I say, there was always a reaction coming from him. As if he made it his mission to contradict everything that I said. All because I was his ex-mate? Or did he hate me that much?“You fucked someone?” the alpha asked, almost growling. I gave him a half shrug, trying to be indifferent. “Yeah. So what? You're not the only one who has secual needs. I need to do something about it. I have, too.”“Watch your mouth!” the beta snarled.Alpha Hugh stared at me hard as if he was trying to decipher if I was telling the truth or not. If he believed, good. There was no way I would tell him that I slept late because of what he said before we parted ways. It was embarrassing and unnecessary. I could not believe that I was affected by those damn words. “I'm just telling the truth. The alpha wanted the truth from my mouth and I gave

    AUTUMN:Beta Maddox glared at me and if looks could kill, I would be dead by now. It seemed like he was not used to this kind of treatment coming from his subordinates. Too bad. After rejecting me, all my respect towards him was all thrown out the window. Respect begets respect. Lifting my hands, I said, “Okay, okay. I’m just teasing you. You will never feel any envy. You don’t have any feelings for me, that’s why you rejected me right away, Beta Maddox. No hard feelings. Of course you will always choose someone who would benefit you and that’s Sabrina. I got that.”I did not. He was an asshole. “You never tease an alpha or a beta,” he responded with a cold voice. “Know your place, slave.”Slave. What a nice endearment. “Geez. Fine. I was only trying to lighten the mood after what you did to the poor guard. You scared me right there. Imagine if you happened to kill him right in front of my room. Then his soul would keep on lingering here scaring the heck out of me.”I pretended

    AUTUMN:It seemed like the devil was after my life.The incessant knocking on the door was enough to awaken the whole neighborhood. Groaning, I turned to my side while grabbing a pillow and used it to cover my ears. But my sensitive healing was not helping at all. The loud banging continued. It did not help to make my headache disappear. It felt like my head was going to split open.Images of what happened last night resurfaced. The alpha. “You looked gorgeous tonight and the dress fits you well.”Did he think he could sway me with those words? He could not. I wished he would just reject me. At least the beta did. “Open up!”Someone was shouting outside the door, telling me to open it.Forcing my eyes to open once again, the dirty ceiling of my room glared at me. Which reminded me that my room needed some cleaning too. “Open up!” he shouted for the nth time. “You will be punished for not responding!”Punish. Ah, right. They did not know that I was their future Luna. If they did
