THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [76]
BETA MADDOX:Cedric and I locked gazes and shook his head. "Women. I'm glad I don't have a mate right now. That's why it was already enough for me to have one mate. Having twice was already a cause of a headache."Cedric was right. Autumn was giving me the most headache. I pocketed my phone. "I'm going mad," I commented and drank the remaining beer on the bottle. Dad would surely be disappointed if he found out that Sabrina broke up with me. He would pester me and order me to make up with the woman. To woo her and do everything in my power to make her forgive me. Sabrina was prideful. Knowing I was the one who needed to be forgiven, she will do everything to make it difficult for me. A sort of punishment. To teach me that at the end of the day, I needed her to make my family proud. “You can leave her, Beta Maddox.”“It’s easy for you to say.”“Why? You should not force yourself on someone with whom you don’t even have any feelings. That’s the downside of taking someone who was no

AUTUMN:My body felt like it was on fire. It felt like I was burning in front of the hot furnace. I wanted to take off my clothes to appease myself even for once. It must be the alcohol I consumed. Would I drink again? Maybe if it will with the alpha. The man had been patient with me and walked me to my room with all the care while I was all leaning heavily at him because I can’t walk straight alone. “Do you want to give you coffee to sober you up?” Alpha Hugh asked, his concern growing for me. If he kept this up, I might do something which I would regret later on. “It’s fine, Alpha Hugh,” I muttered and grabbed a pillow and put it between my legs.Damn it. The burning feeling was not even gone at all. I wanted to dive in a pool full of ice until I suffered from hypothermia. My wolf was clawing at me, wanting to be out. “Could you please turn on the fan, Alpha Hugh?“ I asked and fanned myself. Not satisfied, I removed my shirt, leaving my tank top.“Are you sure you're removin

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh shivered while I licked my lips as I felt his warmth.My heart hammered against my chest and my breathing labored. My body ached for him. I wanted to have a taste of him and see for myself if he tasted as good as he looked. “Alpha Hugh? Will we just waste our time standing here?” I licked my lips a couple of times and it seemed as if he was mesmerized by it. “Autumn…” he groaned, his breathing labored. A smile made its way on my lips. So I was not the only one who was feeling like this. He was too.“Alpha Hugh? I’m so lonely right now. You’re the only one who could satisfy me. Why don’t you feel my body? You can touch my breast and feel the ache inside me. See how my nipples hardened whenver you stared at my breast? You’re the only one who had that kind of effect on me, Alpha Hugh. So please help me ease this ache. I know I’m not the only one who is in pain right now.” Tiptoping, I whispered in his ears. “We have the same problem, alright? So please? Will you b

ALPHA HUGH:I could not forget the feeling of Autumn’s lips on my mouth. It was soft and nothing like what I had imagined so far. “How could you do it, Alpha Hugh?” Maddox said for the nth time. His disappointment was on the nth level. My body was still on fire and I had to do something with my massive erection. I needed a cold shower to at least ease the pain. "What are you referring to, Maddox?" I asked as we stepped outside of the house and returned to where we were drinking earlier."What else? Kissing that woman. How could you do it? How could you kiss Autumn? How could you fall into her trap? Are you even listening to me, huh?""I am listening to you, Maddox. I get what you mean. She's not just a woman, Maddox. She has a name. She is our friend." And you just kissed your friend as if there was no tomorrow. It felt so good to kiss that friend. I got to taste her lips and I did not think I would be able to stop myself from thinking about her before going to bed.Autumn was like

AUTUMN:When I woke up, I had a splitting headache for the rest of the day because of being drunk last night. I remembered what I did and I wished I just did not remember all of them. How could it be like that? How could I seduce the alpha that night? How could I lower myself and act like a slut in front of him?Damn it.What did he think of me now? Was he disappointed? Or not? He must be. Who would not? He would think I was already planning that I would seduce him a long time ago. And last night was the right timing. I kicked the bed a couple of times and grabbed the pillow and screamed. Fuck it! How could I be stupid.My cheeks failed when I remembered how I grabbed his hand adn put them on my chest. And these sinful hands had touched his manhood. His massive erection which was the first dick I had touched all my life.My cheeks flamed. I wished the ground would swallow me whole.I hoped everything would be worth it, because I did not like what I did last night. It was embarrassin

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

[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.

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

AUTUMN:My breath caught in the air. I did not look at Hugh right away. Instead, I stared at his fingers sliding into mine. It molded perfectly as if we were made for each other. ‘You two are both made for each other,’ Trisha stated, sighing. ‘He is our mateeee!’My heart was loud now. Louder than the squeals of Trisha inside her mind. Could Hugh have heard it, too? I wished he could not. It would only embarrass me even more. Did I like the feel of his hands against mine?His fingers locked mine and I could feel his callouses—one of the signs of how he worked hard to keep the pack safe. His hand reminded me of the great responsibility he was carrying. Until now. I fucking loved the feel of our calloused hands against each other. There might be times when I denied it, but when he did something to surprise me, it was always surprising. Finally, I looked up and saw how Hugh's eyes danced with joy when I did not tug my hand away. "I love you, Autumn. I really do."My heart somersaul
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [137]
AUTUMN:I did it again. Forgetting that I should be saying that it was my "friend" who was asking. That it was for a friend.Dang it. I should be careful with my words, especially around Mika. This woman was sharp and I could not hide anything from her. "Y-yes. I'm asking for my friend."Her eyes narrowed, suspicion evident in her eyes. “You sure?” she asked as if she was only waiting for me to come clean and confess that there was no friend and it was nothing but me. I bit the inside of my cheeks. Right now, I should be telling her the truth. And nothing but the truth, but…wasn't it too embarrassing already?“N-No.”Mika heaved a sigh. "I know it's you, Miss Autumn," she said, out loud. "I don't get why you have to deny it. I can sense if you're lying or not.""It's not me," I lied once again, wanting to hold on to the lies. "I'm not buying it," Mika said. "Alright, whatever. It's your life. You're my client.”“It wasn't really me.”Trisha rolled her eyes at me. ‘What’s the harm

AUTUMN: The beta’s shout of pain continued to explode like wildfire shattering the silence of the hallway. As much as I did not want to feel any worry for him, I could not help it. His shouts seemed like he was being skinned alive. No wonder Beta Maddox does not want to get treated by Mika. It was because of this. “Hey. Tell me the success rate of healing the beta?” I asked. “You’re worried for him,’ he said matter-of-factly. “Alright. Fine. Yes, I am worried even if I should not be feeling it right now. I hated him. I hated how he rejected me, but dammit. I am not that heartless. I still feel sorry for him right now.” “Maddox had the same reaction when it came to this. But we can be rest assured that he is fine in Mika’s hands.” “Are you sure?” “I am sure.” “You seemed to trust that woman a lot. Is there something going on between you and her in the past?” He glanced at me while his eyes narrowed. “Is that jealousy I hinted at in your voice?” “Of course not! I w
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |135|
AUTUMN:Maddox’s changing his mind about me? That was the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard right now. Why would he change his mind? What happened that I did not know at all? Using the shoes of my heels, I pointed it on the floor. “Tell me. Did he bump his head or something?”“No.”“So that’s the answer, Hugh. Beta Maddox did not change his mind. Maybe…I did not know.”“Then how would you explain how he changed his mind? He did not want to sever his bond. Which might only meant one thing. He changed his mind. Maybe his feelings when we were children returned.”I threw back my head and laughed. “What the fuck, Hugh?” I asked if I was done laughing. “If you’re going to say something, at least you should anchor it to reality. Maddox never changed his mind.” Making my expression serious, I said, “Let’s forget about this and focus on his healing. Let's waste our energy on that. You needed Maddox on the pack while I don't want to continue visiting him anymore.”It would only give
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |134|
AUTUMN:With all eyes on Hugh, it seemed that his tongue had retreated. Then, a couple of minutes passed, and he answered, "Yes. I will be shouldering the expenses. Charge everything to me."Mika narrowed her eyes. "Why? Are you her second chance mate?"I coughed and said to change the conversation, "Now, now. It's not about me, but Beta Maddox. Why don't we return to our previous conversation and start healing the beta? So that he could return to the pack house? A lot of warriors might be missing him."Mika clapped her hands. "Alright. I agree. We lost so much time. Beta Maddox, can you handle the severing of your bond?"Secretly, I sighed in relief. "How will you do it?" I asked, plainly curious. Mika smiled. "It's not that simple. I will cast a spell. Others use a potion, but the chances of success are slim. If you want your money not to be wasted, let's go work on casting a spell. But I want to make it clear that there would always be a risk.""What kind of risk?" I asked, sudde
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |133|
AUTUMN:I felt weird all over because Mika shed tears for me. She did not know me. She did not know my past, so why was she overreacting?No female had ever hugged me like this. Back in my pack, all they did was either bully me or inflict pain on me. They hit me or kicked me whenever they wanted. Including Sabrina, Beta Maddox’s fiancee. But never like this.Now, as Mika continued crying, I couldn't help but feel…comforted. That someone knew my pain? That someone was able to empathize with me. This witch, hugging me was like giving me some kind of comfort, giving me butterflies on my stomach.I shook my head when I realized something. I should never get accustomed to this. This woman…she was a stranger. "There's no need to hug me," I said and pushed her away. There were tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry for the waterworks. I'm an empath. I could also feel what you are feeling right now. You're heartbroken. I wonder why. Have you perhaps broken up with your lover? Or your mate?"My
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |132|
AUTUMN:Maddox's reaction was far better than watching the newcomer. From the looks of it, it seemed that the beta did not like the woman at all. Good for him. I wanted him to squirm. I wanted him to be uncomfortable. Just because we had a truce did not mean I was all good to him. On the other hand, the interaction between the two was...how did I say it...interesting? I wondered what was the story between the two?"Autumn."My brows furrowed, realizing there was the alpha standing beside that woman. How come I didn't even notice him?Hugh’s expression darkened as if he was…mad? Again? For staying in the same room with the beta?‘Maddox and I did not do anything wrong,’ I said. ‘You think he has the time to fool around given his condition right now?’ I asked through our mind link, not hiding my annoyance. ‘Why am I even explaining to you? I do not owe you anything, Hugh. Please stop acting jealous because you're not being cute,’ I stated inside his head. ‘Could you blame me? My mate
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |131|
AUTUMN:I forced a smile even if my heart was breaking apart for some unknown reason.It must be the bond that we shared. This should be cut as soon as possible, to avoid things like this. To avoid getting hurt like this. Again. “Good. So…when will your wedding be?”“Next month,” he said and coughed. Next month. Next month would also be six months of working in this house. Six months of taking care of the alpha's son. “Alright. I will be there at your service, Beta Maddox. I will be happy to be there as long as the price is right,” I declared, forcing my voice to sound cheery as much as possible. The corner of his lips lifted. “Everything should have a price, huh?”I gave him a half-shrug. “It should be. After all, it’s not easy to face Sabrina. I know why she wanted me. She wanted to rub on my face that she’s one lucky woman when you marry her.” I scoffed. “I will never forget what she did to me. Never.”“It’s your right,” he said. I turned around and watched the door when I fe
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |130|
AUTUMN:Hugh loved me. He loved me? He loved me!The confession shocked me to the core and all I could do was watch him with wide eyes. When I did not say anything at all, he continued, "I loved you, Autumn and I am willing to risk everything to have you. I want to spend the rest of my days with you. I'm so sorry for taking this too long to say, but now, I am one hundred percent sure of my feelings for you."A confession coming from him was definitely not what I expected. "What about your mother? What about your family? What about your pack? What about Beta Maddox? What about the people around you?” I asked. His brows formed a straight line. "Just because I loved her does not mean I'm going to listen to her when it comes to relationships. You're my mate, Autumn and I will do my best to keep you in my life."A lump suddenly formed in my throat, and what happened earlier was temporarily forgotten.Hugh loved me. My mate loved me. Finally. "You're only confused, Hugh," I said after a
