THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [36]
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: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:We were already done with breakfast when the alpha and beta arrived. It was true when the child said that the two could go home the next day. At the corner of my eyes, I saw that there were cuts on the side of their faces and some bruises on the beta’s jaw. Would I be jumping with joy at the current condition of their faces? “We are home,” the alpha announced with joy.I never knew that the alpha had another side. He was a doting father to his son and he was not that bad in dealing with people. Plus…he did not treat me badly nor say mean things to me. Unlike the beta. My hatred towards that man had never dissipated. He was still the most irritating jerk I ever knew. “What are you watching?” Alpha Hugh asked. We were watching some television series where a doctor is one of the protagonists.I turned around and for a split second, the beta and my eyes met. He was the one who first averted his gaze. “Daddy!” Gabby exclaimed and ran towards the alpha. “What took you so long?

AUTUMN:“Maddox. No one is watching us right now. No one would reprimand you. Treating each other like we were friends in the past is fine,” Alpha Hugh stated. Between the two, the alpha seemed the rational one. It was just me but it really felt as if he wanted to bring the past. Of the three of us being best friends. I wondered if I had not become an omega of the pack, would I live with them too? Not being treated as a slave, but part of their family?My chest tightened.That foolish dream was like a knife plunged inside my chest. “It’s not fine, Hugh,” the beta insisted. It looked like nothing changed between us. His annoyance was addressed to me. “Why not?” Alpha Hugh said. The beta sighed. “You really cannot see any reasons at all?”“For starters…Beta Maddox was looking at me as if he was going to kill me. Second…an omega will stay an omega unless she bought her freedom. Period,” I answered. Alpha Hugh scowled. “Well, at this house, you're not an omega. You are Gabby's nanny.

ALPHA HUGH:My mate was the beta…The words kept on ringing my head, disbelieving those words. “Maddox,” I called only to remember something. The beta and Gabriel were no longer in front of me but the two went to the playground. The two were almost inseparable if the beta was here to the point that it looked like he was the father of my kid. Was there any kind of jealousy? There was none. I was just glad that the beta was here to play with my child when I was too busy to play with him.‘The beta? Why would he be your mate?’‘Yes, he is. And about the reason why he is your mate? Ask the Moon Goddess about it. If I would be asked, I would rather be paired with an omega who would accept me for who I am than you or the beta,’ she muttered. It was like a kick in my gut. I should be the one telling those words, but Autumn? No woman had said no to me. All of them wanted me for the luxury I could provide. But Autumn?He is not like the other women, the other part of my mind said. I was

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh stared at me for a few seconds before he answered me, “I’m not jealous or anything.”Yeah. Why would he get jealous? “Oh. Really? So why do you always ask questions about Eric and the beta? If that meant nothing to you? Only a man who is jealous would do such a thing, Alpha Hugh.”His cheeks flamed. Because of anger or embarrassment? More like the former. Disappointment flashed inside my heart. I already knew that he did not feel anything about me, but maybe…I was expecting that he could give me more than I could ever ask. That he would like me even for a little. That he could…I spare me a glance?Alpha Hugh sauntered towards the couch, sat and pointed at the opposite couch. Folding my arms in front of my chest, I said, “I don’t think there’s a need for this. Aren’t we done talking, Alpha Hugh? I have a lot of things to do right now and…” my words were suddenly thrown out of the window when he suddenly rose, moved and sat beside me.My heartbeat quickened. He s

AUTUMN:Someone was knocking on my door. Again. For the nth time. I opened my eyes, and with blurry eyesight, craned my neck to see the door. The clock on the door told me that it was only three o’clock in the afternoon. This was supposed to be my nap time, but I had overslept. I never experienced this one. Taking my nap. The work on the pack house required me to always move and clean everything. After talking to the alpha I fell asleep. It was emotionally draining. Talking to the two I mean especially pretending that I did not hate them at all in front of the kids. “What do you want?”“Daddy said that you have a visitor.” Gabby. Alpha Hugh had not scolded me for not taking care of his son? “I am not expecting any visitors.” A visitor? Who would visit me in this place? My former bosses? As far as I knew, no one was living in this place. “Who?”“Daddy said I will not tell you unless you go downstairs. Your visitor is waiting for you, Miss Autumn. He has been waiting for a long

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh and Eric looked at me as if I had grown horns. Then the two stared at each other. "You're not the only one who is busy, Eric. I am too because I have a job. I take care of the kid. So if you want someone who could amuse you, I'm not the one for that. There are other women out there who could do the job well."This man would only flirt, lie, or joke just to get in my pants. Or who knows? Maybe he was different from the other men who were only good at playing a woman’s heart. "I'm not looking for a fling. I’m looking for someone who would return the same love I feel for someone. One glance at you and I know it was you, Autumn."What a sweet talker and women fell for that one? Cheap. Did he think I was that stupid?I was about to respond when the alpha opened his mouth and said, "Autumn is also not looking for a fling, Eric. She’s focused on her job because she has a goal in her mind. Getting in a relationship with someone is not part of that."Really? Now I have a

THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [53]
AUTUMN:Hot tears rolled down from my eyes while glaring at Beta Maddox. I was the one who slapped him, but I was the one who was crying right now. My hands shook. “Are you done ruining my confidence? Are you happy, Maddox?”I never bothered to hide how much I hated him. Let him know that he was not the only one who did not like being paired with him.He faced me. There was an imprint of my hands on his cheeks. Good. I wanted to add another hand imprint on the other side of his cheeks. “Do you even think I like you even? I would rather die alone than being paired with you. Seeing you makes me sick, Maddox. Why are you even proud of yourself? Without your family's name, you are nothing. Without Hugh, you are nothing.” He did not know it, but I was there when his Dad told him to befriend the alpha. He added that having Hugh by his side would be beneficial for them and that Maddox would be able to use it when the right time comes. The right was when they both became an adult and b
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [52]
AUTUMN:I was expecting that it would take a long time before Hugh and Maddox arrived in the house since it was a long drive from the pack and here, but it only took an hour before they arrived. "Where is your man?" Hugh asked the moment he arrived. He was not listening. "I don't have a man. What the heck are you talking about? Why would I have a man? I did not slave myself in taking care of your son and asked someone to come here and do whatever you were imaging right now in your head." Seeing how he had reacted, I was certain he was imagining the worst. Could I slap him for once? I was not that kind of woman for crying out loud!"You said a man is sleeping in your room.""Yes, I did. He is currently in the living room. I wanted to drag him to the second floor to the guest house but he was too heavy. I also cleaned the blood on the floor. See the blood on my shirt? This came from the man. You can thank me later. You are welcome.""Blood? Is there a fight? Are you okay?" Hugh asked
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [51]
ALPHA HUGH:I grabbed my jacket and put it on after dropping the call from Autumn's link. She was with a man while taking care of my son? How could she do it? Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where are you going? Can’t you see there’s a lot of documents that need your attention? Plus there’s an incoming war where we might be involved. Hugh. I do understand that you wanted to see Gabby, but now is not the right time for that. It can wait.”“A war will never take place. I will do my best not to get involved.” It was an ongoing rift between the neighboring pack and mine. It started from Dad’s time and until now, it had never been solved. As the time went by, the conflict turned even worse. “There should never be a war. We cannot afford to lose innocent lives, Maddox.”“Right. I’m glad that you know it. Where are you again?”“Home.”“Home? Why? Did something happen to Gabby?” He rose from his seat and grabbed his coat, too. When it comes to my son, he will leave all the th
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [50]
AUTUMN:My heart hammered against my chest. I wanted to go to my room and grab some knives. If things get worse, at least I have something to defend myself. But it would only be a waste of time. With calculated steps, I went downstairs, tiptoeing. Was I stupid for walking downstairs like this without any weapon in my hand? Yes, I was. I should lock the door and wait until the thief steals everything. This was not my house. I did not care anything about the objects inside. Besides, the alpha was already filthy rich. He could buy and replace anything that would be stolen. But my life? It will never be replaced. There was only one foolish Autumn who died from fighting off the thief whom she did not know if she could handle or not. But no. I had to play a hero for the kid and go after the culprit.I might die because of this. But at least, I will die of a noble death. What will you do if you're already six feet below the ground?Dang.I never dreamed of dying and becoming a hero.
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [49]
AUTUMN:Two days had passed since the last time that Eric had visited and he never had visited again. I did not know what had happened to him. Did I miss his presence? Kind of. He broke the monotony of my life. When I was with Eric, I could laugh easily.Still…it did not mean that I missed him. And even if he did not visit this house for a year, it was fine with me since I really did not wait for his presence. Life must go on whether he will come or not.“Are you done coloring the apple?” I asked. We were inside the kid’s room. The room was more spacious than my room at the pack. It was also tidy. There was another room for his playground where there was also a basketball ring.I envied this child. Even if he was still a child, he already experienced luxury, unlike me who already witnessed how difficult it was to live alone without my parents.If you did not only kill your family…I closed my eyes and breathed deeply.That voice would occasionally enter my mind every now and then. S
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [48]
ALPHA HUGH:“You will create a hole on the floor, Alpha Hugh,” Maddox commented. We were already inside the office after I walked Eric to the gate. Gabriel was being taken care of by Autumn. A couple of hours had passed, but my anger had not even subsided. I needed an outlet. Something that would make this anger disappear. Right. I will run later. “Are you perhaps bothered by that man?”I stopped pacing and barked, “Who?”“Eric. You seemed on edge after you had a talk with him.”How about you? Are you not bothered at all? I stared at him, checked for his reaction, and found that he did not feel any sense of jealousy despite Autumn being his mate. Were they mates? Or not. He seemed unaffected by Eric’s presence. Maybe Maddox was the type who could control himself. How pathetic I could be when it comes to self-control? I am an alpha. Self-control should be easy like that. I had not told him that I already knew. He sure did know how to act and pretend as if he did not feel anythi
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [47]
AUTUMN:“What tricks?” I asked, confused. “Eric’s pick up line,” Aloha Hugh growled. “I told you before to be wary of him. He is not the man whom he is portraying. He might be a womanizer given how he looked.” The keyword was might. The alpha did not know for sure. When it comes to convincing someone, he should choose the right words. I snorted. “Now you’re acting as if you cared about me, Alpha Hugh. And you’re acting like a jealous mate. You don’t have the right, okay? You loved your Pamela. You can love her for as long as you want, but leave my love life out of it.”“I am trying to protect you.”“I don’t need your protection, damn it!”His eyes widened. “You think you know him but you don't.”“Stop it,” I warned. “Giving you a flying kiss? Telling sweet words? You have to think of his intention, Autumn. Whether it is pure or not. Think. You got to use your brain. Not your heart. You listen to your wolf. Listen to what name she is whispering in your head.”How dare he give advic
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [46]
AUTUMN:A date, huh. Was Eric certain of inviting me to a date? I never experienced one. All I had were dates with my cleaning materials. I was secretly jealous of women in my pack who would casually buy dresses and make themselves even more gorgeous on their date. They would get excited and even asked me to clean their room after creating a mess. When I watched them in the mirror in awe, I realized I wanted to experience that, too. With my mate. My world and my dreams fell apart when Beta Maddox rejected me. The reality that no one would want to be with a cursed one slapped me. Hard.And here came Eric. There was someone who wanted to date me despite my social status. Someone who made me recall those dreams I had in the past. "Why would you ask me for a date?" I asked, wanting to clarify it. “There is nothing worthwhile in me. I’m boring to talk to. I am always straightforward. I’m not like the other women out there who would laugh at your corny jokes. I never put any makeup o
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [45]
AUTUMN:‘Do what?’ Alpha Hugh asked. ‘Telling me that no one will like someone like me. How could you be so cruel? You’re not the only one who deserved to be happy. I too deserved to be happy! Stop meddling with my life! You’re not my brother! I am not your sister. Back off, Alpha Hugh!’‘I want you to be happy. I only want you to be safe. I don’t want you to get hurt by meeting someone whom you don’t even know.’Using our connection, I made him feel how much I hated him. ‘Again with that bullshit. If I tell you that you are my happiness, what will you do with it?’ I spat. Alpha Hugh was speechless. That was the reaction that I kind of expected. It served him right. He should know here he should stick his fucking nose. He should know that sometimes, his opinion was already unwanted.'Do you desire someone who loves someone else? Someone who could not forgive the mother of his child?' Alpha Hugh commented. 'I don't want to be unfair to you, Autumn,' he explained softly inside my hea
