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

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

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

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: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.

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

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
