THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [31]
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

BETA MADDOX:"You can still send her out, Hugh. I don't trust her," I declared when we were already inside the alpha's office. When the two were done talking in the woman’s room, I asked for his time. I did not know what the two talked about. Why did that woman want to talk privately to the alpha when he could talk while I was around?Autumn wanted to mock me. She knew I did not want the alpha to know that we were mates, yet she kept on talking about our connection. That woman…My patience was already wearing thin. Before she would say something unnecessary, I need to drive her away from this house. Would the alpha listen to my reasons? For all those years, it was always us. The two of us. That woman suddenly came into the situation. The alpha must not know about us. Alpha Hugh sat down, watering his cactus which he never failed to do. It was one of his hubbies. Tending to the garden. "Why? She’s the best nanny for my son."The best? How could he say that when that woman practic

BETA MADDOX:I should have not asked the alpha of questions like that. I reprimanded myself. Hugh will ask a lot of questions if I said the wrong words. He will continue on probing until he gets the answers that he wanted. I must be careful with all the words I say. All my answers should be well thought. “It’s nothing,” I said, trying to act nonchalant. “Forget what I said. I must be imagining things, Hugh.”“Imagining things? Such as what?” he pressed. “This is what I said when I said that you started acting weird, Maddox. Why is that?”“I’m not acting weird. I never did anything suspicious or weird.”I bit the inside of my cheeks and drew blood. I must not tell him anything. I should continue keeping my mouth shut. The alpha must not know. No one must not know. Sabrina will break off the engagement. My family would be disappointed at me if it happens. They nearly were disappointed when I almost lost the beta position to another potential candidate among the warriors I had dueled

AUTUMN:Let us see if Beta Maddox could give what I wanted in exchange for doing what he desired me to do. He suddenly looked at me with a disgusted expression on his face. "Me? Why would it have to be me?" "You. Why not? You're my first mate. They said the first one is the most memorable of all. Unless you wanted to ask for my second chance mate instead?"At the mention of my second chance mate, his eyes turned sharp. "Who is he? Tell me."“As if knowing him will change something.” A smile spreaded on my lips. "You will never know his identity. I don't trust you enough, Beta Maddox. Why would I trust someone who rejected me?""Why do you want me when I am already engaged to Sabrina? You already said it yourself. You have your second chance mate.""I don't want you to be happy. You hurt me. I was in pain, and we should be sharing the pain. I want you to be miserable like me. If you are fine with that, then, I will do what you want. If not, leave me be. The Alpha's condition is bet

AUTUMN:A good luck.That’s all the alpha wanted? For what? How dare he confuse me with his words. What was he planning? I had to harden my heart. It is deceitful. ‘Why would I say that?’ I asked using our mind link. He sighed at the end. ‘We are mates.’Mates…He acknowledged the bond privately, but in public? He did not. Did he think I was a fool? Did he think I belonged to his harem? ‘And then what if we are? You never acknowledged me in front of the crowd.’‘We need to be with each other for half a year, Autumn. We are mates during that time.’‘Mates in secret?’ I offered to say and laughed at him with pure sarcasm. ‘You’re a great clown, Alpha Hugh,’ and disconnected our connection. He was not talking about his son, anyway so I thought it was okay to drop the conversation and connection. Served him right. I did not want to deal with talks like that. I was already mad at the beta. I did not want to add more stress. I don’t care if I would receive an earful later if he return

AUTUMN: Gabby nodded. "I did. We had a long talk." Sabrina knew that the alpha had a kid? "Did she know that you are the alpha's child?" I asked. The alpha trusted Sabrina? That woman was not to be trusted. “What did she say? "Uncle Maddox said that I should not tell anyone who I am for my safety. No one knows that my dad is Alpha Hugh." "So...who did you say you are?" "I told Aunt Sabrina that I am the beta's nephew. I told Uncle Maddox that it's not good to lie, but he said that it's for my safety." Ah, right. If it was related to Maddox, Sabrina would pretend that she was good. "She believed you?" Sabrina was not easy to fool. "She did. I like her. She's beautiful and she was good to me." Sabrina was undeniably beautiful. Almost all the men sought her. So...this child had already visited the pack house on the presumption that he was connected to the beta. Did no one notice their similarities? Although it was not that big, there were still some. "You want that woman to b

AUTUMN:Now that I had glimpsed the man standing outside the gate, I could see that he was hot. He was wearing a cap which was turned sideways while his hands were full of dirt from getting trash. He wore gloves but those were not enough to shield him from the dirt. His skin turned pinkish when the sun kissed his bare skin. Beads of sweat coated the stranger’s forehead. He grinned seeing I was watching him. If I was some normal girl, I would be swayed by his smile. Especially that dimple. Any woman would faint because of that. I mentally slapped myself noticing the direction of my thoughts. I must not let his handsomeness destruct me. This man could possess a threat to the kid. Or even me. I did not care about my safety. I don't care if I will die this instant. But the child…he was innocent. And what if this stranger is a threat? What can you do, Autumn? Do you know how to fight?I will fight to death. “What do you want?” I barked, distancing myself from the gate and him. I

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
