THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [57]
AUTUMN:What the heck was wrong with Maddox? Was this because he wanted to punish me for how I talked to him this past few days or what? When I finally had someone who was brave enough to confess he liked me, he would start to ruin everything? "Why would you do that?""I'm just doing my job when the alpha is not here. I will be the head of this house. Do not think that there is some ulterior motive behind. There is not, Autumn.”There was not when he clearly showed that he was against me going on a date with Eric? My gaze shifted to Eric. He never loses his cool despite what the beta had said. How did his Dad raise him again? It was unlike men to be this calm and always smiling. Going out with Eric would be nice. It would be like breathing fresh air where I could not see him for a while.Eric smiled again, showing me his dimples. "It's fine, Autumn. I respect the beta's decision. I will just wait for the alpha until he gets here.""He won't be coming here. He has a lot of things to

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:Those memories were what keep me doing. If the did not exist, what would keep me going? Beta Maddox stared at me for a long time before he heaved a long sigh. "I'm not asking you to forget them. I'm asking you to move on from the past. There's no way that would happen. I'm talking about the promises we did, Autumn. As you can see, I am already arranged to marry to Sabrina. I cannot say no to the elders. I have no—"Damn him! He had no choice, really? “Stop!” I said cutting off his word. It was uninteresting to hear how he was an obedient beta. Gathering my courage, I asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, Beta Maddox? I don't want to hear anymore of the past."He opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but closed it again.Good because I did not want to hear any of his lame excuses."Can I ask something, Beta Maddox?""What is it?""Don't call me anymore especially if we are in private. Sabrina, your fiancee will get mad at me for sure." Especially if sh

AUTUMN:First it was confusion and the next, I was glaring back at Beta Maddox. With no plans of answering him, I hurried cleaning the hallways, mopping everything and when I was done, gathered all the cleaning materials that the other omega's had dropped on the floor. “Have you gone mute?” he asked. “I said why are you cleaning the hall alone?”At the corner of my gaze, he pocketed his phone in his pocket, while eyeing me.“I did not need an audience, Beta Maddox.” Telling him why the others left was a waste of time. There was no guarantee that he would take my side. He rejected me, remember? Seeing him will only make the mate bond painful. Just because I carried it well did not mean that I was no longer in pain. “I am overseeing things, Autumn. You're not answering my question.” “I'm not the only one working. Try to check if the others are done as well.”I double checked the hallway, checking if there were still spots that were left. But there was none. “Done. You're the only o

THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [56]
AUTUMN:There were a lot of things I wanted to tell Beta Maddox. A lot of words which then again would only turn into something useless and a waste of my time.“You're giving too much energy you hate, " he commented.“I don't fucking care at all,” I said, and walked passed ahead of him until I reached the gate.I was right. It was not the alpha, but Eric, bringing another bouquet of flowers which I told him did not matter at all.He scratched his neck seeing me. “Hi?” he regretted not being sure at all.“Eric.”“Autumn…” he said with a longing expression on his face. As if we had been separated for a long time. “I missed you already.”Opening the gate, I let him in while the beta was watching my every move.‘Can you at least go farther away?’ I asked inside his mind. I did not know if he would answer me or not. As long as he knew that I did not appreciate his presence.‘Why would you drive me away?’ he responded inside my head. ‘We need privacy. It's like peeing, Beta Maddox. We w
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [55]
AUTUMN: Before I knew Beta Maddox's response, he suddenly kicked me out of his mind. He was territorial even if in his mind. “You have nothing to do with it,” he said. Cedric raised his eyebrows and stared at us while holding the kid's hand. “You’re still not yet done?” “About what?”“About your tiny argument?” he said, quoting the air when he uttered the word tiny. Fighting is bad. It’s not a good thing if the kid will be able to witness you fight.”Forcing a smile and showing that it was not true, I said, “We are not fighting. Why would we?”“Daddy said that only married couples fight.”“That’s not true. Friends also fight.” I remembered when the three of us had our pity fighters over some apple. I wanted the apple to be peeled. But the two did not want to. And in the end, the day of our supposed to be eventful picnic was ruined because I stormed out all because of that damned apple. “They fight and they become friends again,” Beta Maddox stated. Did we make up after that fi
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [54]
AUTUMN:Beta Maddox growled at me while Cedric was watching our engagement. “You’re so sweet,” he commented. “Is this how you show your affections towards each other?”“We’re not sweet!” the beta and I said at the same time. I scoffed at him and he glared at me. The only thing that he was good at was glare at me. “I hate him,” I exclaimed. “I don’t care if you tell the alpha about our connection. I don’t care at all.”“You don’t care because you already told the alpha about it,” Maddox said. I did. What can you do right now, Maddox? No matter what you do, I will never tell you the truth. Overthink. Worry. That's what I wanted you to do. “Whoa. You two are different.”“We can never be the same, Cedric. I hate his guts. And I was glad we are no longer bound to each other.”“So you two rejected each other.”“We did and that was one of the best decisions I made in my entire life,” I commented. "You're not the only one," Maddox seconded.Cedric chuckled and flinched when he felt the

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

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.
