THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [64]
AUTUMN:What Beta Maddox failed to understand was that rejection was difficult to be free from. You will still feel as if you still had lingering feelings for your rejected fated mates. You will still get mad whenever you see her or him with someone else other than you. Just like what he was feeling right now. Even if he denied it as much as he wanted, I could feel what he was feeling. What was it?Envy directed towards Eric. He can call me a liar and deny it, but I know what I was feeling right now. I pity Beta Maddox actually as long as he had a wolf with him, he could never get away from me.Breaking the tension of the atmosphere, I clapped my hands and exclaimed, "Well, so much for that. Please accept the snacks we prepared for all of us.” It was time to break the tension. If not, a couple of minutes from now, the beta and Eric will be fighting all because of me.I was not worth it.When the beta did not say anything, I added, “I hope you don't mind, Beta Maddox, that we prepa

AUTUMN:I don't understand what I should be feeling right now. Would I be hurt at Eric's lies or would I be disappointed that he was lying to me. “Autumn…”I did not know, but I was expecting a lot from him and to think that I was all praises for him. I thought he was way different from the men that surrounded me. In the end, it was a bad idea that I somewhat put my trust in him. “You lied to me?“ I asked for the second time when he did not say anything. “Did you have a good time lying to me? Was it fun when I believed your lies, Eric?” I spat. I clenched my fist. How could I be this stupid?Cedric’s eyes shifted to me and Eric. The atmosphere inside the kitchen turned tense. “A-Alright. I think you need to have some private time, love bird,” Cedric said, and was about to exit when I opened my mouth. “I will act that I did not know anything or hear anything from you two.” He turned his back and was about to exit the kitchen, but I opened my mouth and said, “You can stay here,

AUTUMN:Sabrina suddenly slapped Beta Maddox on his arms. The beta flinched and glanced at us. Cedric averted his gaze while I met his eyes. Why would I look away when I did not do anything wrong?“You are back defending that woman? How many times would we fight because of her? Beta Maddox. This woman? She is a slave! She is an omega! Why would you waste your time on her?”The beta’s face turned bright red.“Hitting me was unnecessary, Sabrina. You have to show some respect. I am still your beta.”“And I will be your future wife,” she exclaimed. “I can do whatever I want to you, Beta Maddox.”“Not all. Including disrespecting me in front of my people. Continue doing this and I might break off the engagement,” he threatened.I clicked my tongue together. “You would do that?”“Yes, I would, Sabrina. The next time you embarrass me in front of my people, you know what will happen.”“Autumn?” Eric mouthed. Not wanting to hear anything from them, I bowed and excused myself, before they n

AUTUMN:My body was on fire. Was I having a fever or not?I coughed when smoke suddenly entered my nose while my eyes burned.Opening my eyes, smoke was already in my room. Fire! Fire! My mouth went dry while my feet were rooted to the ground. The flame intensified even more as if it was angry. It swallowed all the things it wanted, until it became even scarier."Autumn, help!" The voice of a boy. "Autumn! Big sister!" I froze. That was my brother calling for help. Wasn't he already dead? The fire continued to eat the things inside the house and the cry for help became louder.Using the back of my hand, I covered my nose and tried to breath in as much fresh air as possible. The room became thick with smoke."Pluto!" I screamed at the top of my voice, calling for my brother. "Pluto! Where are you?""Autumn! Please help me!"Tears simmered from my eyes, as my need to run to his side continued. If at first I was not able to help him because I was only an eight-year-old back then, but

AUTUMN:“What does Eric have to do with this?“ I asked, clenching my fist. “Leave him out of this conversation.”“I…I heard what they said. Sabrina visited the house. Eric, too, and that you two had some misunderstanding.”Misunderstanding? I wondered what kind of things he heard from Maddox and Cedric. Did Maddox tell him something? What about Sabrina's sudden visit? How come he did not say anything about it? Does it mean that he was fine with anyone visiting this house? I rose from the bed and went to the vacant chair. Staring back at him, I exclaimed, “I don't need your opinion about that, Alpha Hugh. Regardless of what happened between us, it has nothing to do with you.”After Eric left, he did not call the telephone number in the house and also did not bother to make his presence known. It seemed like he just disappeared. For good. “You can tell me what happened,” he urged. “I will listen.”Will he? Or maybe he was happy that Eric disappeared and did not bother to call me. Wil

AUTUMN:“Do you want your Uncle Maddox to get married?” I asked. “Do you want him to marry Sabrina?”Dang it. Why was I asking about those questions? If Beta Maddox would hear about this, he would think that I was pathetic. That until now, I was waiting for him.I refused to be like that. Still…the beta was not here and it was not bad to get this boredom out of my system. The kid was willing to answer my questions, anyway. Why not seize the moment? Gabriel showed me his coloring materials and flipped the pages showing a colored green dinosaur. “As long as he is happy, Miss Autumn. I will be happy for them too. Except Daddy. I will be the one to approve of my next mommy.”I did not care about his next mommy. It would never be about me, anyway. “Are you happy that they will get married?” I asked. Don’t get me wrong. I was not jealous. I was only curious about it. “You liked the beta and I believe you are only after the beta’s happiness.”“If Uncle Maddox makes him happy, I am happy t

AUTUMN:Did the beta know about the alpha and my connection? How? No one was told about it. Literally no one. Above all, why did he start showing his interest? Act calm, Autumn. Let him think that he was not right. Let him get a headache for overthinking a lot. It was nothing to what you experienced. I forced a laugh. “What the heck are you talking about? Why would I be rejected by the alpha when he was not even my mate? What made you think about that ludicrous idea?”Did Cedric plant those thoughts? Was that man capable of saying those things? But what would he gain from that one? I did not think he would do such things without any ulterior motives. “Your silence is alarming, woman.”I fanned myself while trying to control the fast beating of my heart. Did the alpha tell him? Did this man already know that the alpha found out about us? Why was I scared about that? It would never be my fault, right?“You’re imagining a lot of things, Beta Maddox.”The corner of his lips lifted s

AUTUMN:I waited until Beta Maddox would open his mouth to say something. Something like he was only playing a prank at me and he did not believe that there was some connection between me and the alpha. But he did not. He continued to gape at me as if I was…“Are you…sure? You and the alpha are mates? He is your second chance mate?”I smiled and folded my arms in front of my chest. “You don’t believe it. It’s acceptable. I’m just an omega who was paired to an alpha and on top of that were my best friends. Ex-best friends. I wondered what the Moon Goddess is thinking right now? Can you believe that? It is rare for best friends. I meant…ex-best friends to become mates. It was either they will be paired to someone outside the pack or another neighboring pack. But best friends? It was unheard off.” He shook his head in disbelief.“Are you saying it because that's what I wanted to hear from your mouth?”He had been pestering me about it, as if he cared about me. I did not understand why h

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
