THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [01]
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

AUTUMN:I was in my room, cursing Beta Maddox for I did not know how many times already. My heart had been pounding like crazy. A mixture of anger. Pain. And annoyance.I did not understand why they wanted me to join the party. No. Why did the alpha want me to join the party? For what, actually? To rub it on my face that I was completely alone in this place? If I joined the party, I would only be left behind. The rest would only make me a clown in the party. I would feel miserable and heartbroken at the same time. Damn them! I cursed for the nth time while biting my fingernails. What are they trying to prove? Pacing back and forth, I could hear my phone had been ringing nonstop. It was my boss. The one who hired me for a part-time job. I did not know how to answer him, actually. He was one of the few mortals who made this world bearable. He was understanding of my situation, even if he knew who I was and my role in the pack. In this time, werewolves and the rest of the species

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
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [83]
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
