EUDORA.“You’re hiding something, aren’t you?” I paled and snapped my head up from a random book I was reading on Zena’s bed. She was perched in the middle of her bed, her brows raised skeptically. “Hm?” I thinned my lips. “You’re hiding something.”I heard her the first time. I was just hit by the suddenness of her question when all we’ve been doing was reading and exchanging a few words. However, I couldn’t deny the fact that I could barely focus on the book I was reading and only pretended to be so immersed in it so I wouldn’t have to look at Zena and have her tell something was wrong without even seeing me.“No, of course not.” I finally answered after a few seconds of contemplating what the best answer to give Zena would be. I tried to keep my voice steady and also forced a smile. She didn’t seem convinced as her expression still doesn’t change.“I don’t believe you.” She said.I tried to be as convincing as I could, giving her my full attention. “Why? What do you think I’m h
EUDORA. Time seemed to still for a second or maybe more. I wasn’t even counting. I couldn’t. Not with the body that was weighing down on mine and the way my thought was spiraling around how it was possible for him to be there. When I finally snapped out of it, I pushed him off me and he landed on the floor with a loud thud. My palm flew to my mouth in horror, maybe because I didn’t expect him to just roll to the ground like that like a sack of potatoes. Horrified, I nudged his body with my foot, keeping a reasonable distance in case things went sideways. “Alpha Rex.” I called, still maintaining the much needed distance between us. I nudged him once, twice and the third time, he rolled over and I jumped back. A loud snore erupted from his lips. He reeked of alcohol and passed out cold on the floor of the room. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized he wasn’t conscious. That was the only time I was able to gather my thoughts. I needed to think it through to be able to understa
ALPHA REXPAST♣️♣️♣️I was dying…again.Fighting for air on the bed I was strapped to. Sweating profusely and seeing my miserable life flash before my eyes. How many times has it been now? Was it the fifth time? I couldn’t tell. I already lost count of the number of times I’ve been close to dying after the first time it happened. All I knew was that each time is always worse than the last, so horrible that I hoped for death instead of the torture I was subjected to.Yes, I hoped for death. It was strange because I didn’t want to die just yet, not without finding out the secrets that were more important to my mother than I was but as it happened frequently, I hoped for death more and more. As always, the damned scientist wasn’t there. Whenever this happens, he is never around and the times he is, he would only watch me, doing absolutely nothing until I can finally breathe again. It suddenly began to feel like it was intentional. Like he was testing how far I could go and how strong
ALPHA REX. Till I travelled down to the borders of my pack, I strongly believed Logan was mistaken. It was the most bizarre news I’ve heard and I needed to see for myself. Logan was already waiting at the borders with a few of my men, including Tyrone. They showed their respect as soon as they saw me but I pushed past them, not wanting to waste another second. Logan followed closely behind me as I trudged forward, going past the fog that protects my pack and stepping onto the other side of it. The body laid there on the ground and the familiar wrinkled face of Alpha Tauren was a bluish-purple—undoubtedly a sign of death—like his arms and legs that were exposed. He was dressed in an evening robe and his legs were bare so I knew he couldn’t have walked here. His eyes were wide open and they were a lifeless sea of grey. Flies played about his exposed body parts, some going in and out of his mouth that was also wide open. The body emitted a scent that aired the fact that he’s been dea
EUDORA.He wasn’t there when I woke up. So it felt like a dream that made me question if he was ever even there at all. I was worried something might have happened since I slept off while I was meant to be taking care of him but Zena told me she heard him leave the house that morning and it brought instant relief knowing he was fine. She had no idea her brother spent the night, passed out on the floor of my room and I intended to keep it that way unless Alpha Rex makes an issue out of it. The only thing I was worried about was how much he saw and how much he remembered. That and Leticia acting strange this morning. Alpha Rex saw my hair and his reaction to it reminded me of all the reasons why I shouldn’t have been tupid enough to leave my door open. It was my mistake and I was scared it would cost me something. Leticia on the other hand has been in charge of cooking ever since she joined us at the house. For some reason, she thought it better to cook our meals and she added extra
EUDORAI didn’t know what made me shrink—the fact that the easy look in her eyes despite how fake they have always been, turned into something more harsh or knowing that the reason she asked me to help her with the meal for that day was because she wanted to question me about why the Alpha was in my room. Her eyes were intense as she stared at me while I fished for words to say to her. I knew anything that leaves my lips would be a stutter and I wanted to kick myself for that one thing alone. Why was I frozen this way when I have done nothing wrong? It wasn’t my fault that the Alpha passed out in my room. If anything, I was even more worried that he’d seen what I’ve been hiding all my life. “Why?” She suddenly asked again. “Why was he in your room?” I wish I knew too. I wish I knew why he almost made me pass out of fear and shock. “I…I don’t know.” I said truthfully, finding my voice, “He suddenly showed up, drunk and—”“Drunk?” She scoffed, “Who? Rex? You want me to believe that
L’s POV*FRIDAY, 5th Of April**12 AM* (Mason’s Birthday is over) My parents kept their promise in a quite eventful way. A way that made me question if any of us would be alive to see Mason’s coming birthdays as I was dragged by the hair out of my hiding place while my eyes burned with tears from the pain from my scalp and the fear for our lives. Like a bag of potatoes, I was thrown to the carpeted floor of our living room that was already shrouded in darkness. The candles from my brother’s birthday cake were off which meant the cake was probably somewhere on the floor, turned upside down along with every other thing in our living room. The darkness added to the crippling fear that has already taken over every part of my body but it was even more worse seeing nothing but shadows of the men who have broken into our home. Moving shadows that looked like they would pounce on me at any given time. “Someone find a lantern or something!” The Alpha male who had dragged me out commanded g
L’s POV*APRIL 11**A week after Mason’s Birthday*•••I haven’t seen my mother or Mason after that day that my entire life changed. I wasn’t just snatched out of my home and into another reality, I was dragged right through it, literally. I put up a fight at first, refusing to be taken away to whatever place that twisted Alpha had in mind but it seemed my struggle for freedom pleased and angered him all at once because he ordered for me to be dragged out while I screamed and called for my mother. As an Omega, I was powerless against the muscles that dragged me through the floor and bruised my delicate skin.As I got bundled onto the back of the truck, with tears blinding my eyes, a single plea was all that I left my lips in whispers that only I could hear. That no matter what, Mason doesn’t come out. That no matter what, my brother remains safe and unfound. He was an Omega male and there was hardly any need for them than to become slaves and laborers to other powerful werewolves. Ju
EUDORAI couldn’t sleep that night. And because I couldn’t sleep, nightmares didn’t come and because they didn’t come, I didn’t feel Alpha Rex’s warmth. I must be stupid, to still want his touch and attention after what he had done and my wolf seemed to be rejoicing triumphantly while I was in deep pain and hurt. Was I wrong about the whole situation between me and Alpha Rex? Was I being delusional all these while? How could he just switch from cold to hot and then from hot, back to cold again. His words cut so deep inside of me that I buried my face into my pillow and cried until I couldn’t anymore. He called me pathetic. He said I was worth nothing but a tool for men’s pleasure. He has never called me names. Never said such hurtful words to me and I just couldn’t tell what changed. It got worse when I saw Leticia in his room, on his bed. She had showed up out of nowhere after so long and he still let her on his bed. He made me leave the room for her and I couldn’t tell what hu
ZENA “You’re going to get me in big trouble one day.” Logan said as we both snuck out of the house through the secret back door that I’ve always used. Just this time, I wasn’t sneaking out of the house entirely. I wish I could roll my eyes at him and how dramatic he was being. “Keep your voice down.” I warned as we both walked towards the greenhouse. It was late at night, really late. I made sure everyone was sound asleep before I found Logan, woke him and dragged him down here with me. I almost didn’t make it out here because for some reason, Rex chose to sleep in the living room today but I had to find a way somehow. It’s been days since me and Logan went in search of my mother and I’ve been trying hard to keep things low so I don’t draw Rex’s attention. Not like he cared much anyway. He seems to be even more preoccupied with Eudora these days. Something was going on but I’ve been too caught up in my own world to care. Logan continued to grumble as I led the way to the gree
ALPHA REXThe situation I met when I followed Logan back to the house wasn’t exactly the way he described it. Saying Leticia was dead drunk and didn’t want to leave was putting it mildly. She was making a huge scene in front of the house and my men were trying hard to keep her from coming in. I didn’t know how she managed to escape the morons at the borders when she didn’t even seem like she could stand on her own. I watched from a distance first as she fought off the men who were trying their best and failing miserably not to handle her with force. Her hair was disheveled, her make up ruined and her feet were naked. In all, she looked a total mess. She was nothing like the calm and composed woman who left a few weeks ago, accepting the fact that there was no place for her in my life no matter how hard we try to make it work. Leticia had handled our parting pretty well. I had driven her out of the pack myself, asked where she would want to go since she detested her twisted father
EUDORAAlpha Rex wasn’t joking when he said he was going to train me to figure out what else I was capable of. I had no idea why he believed there was something about me that needed to be harnessed and he didn’t seem like he planned on letting me know too. I didn’t know how else I could let him know that there was nothing special about me. I was ordinary. I’ve been that way all of life and people have reminded me repeatedly and I believe nothing has changed. The cut he made on my palm took days to heal. It didn’t make sense how my blood was instantly able to heal a cut on Alpha Rex’s wrist while I was doomed to go about with a bandaid on my palm. I ignored the fact that it healed his own injury and focused on the fact that all in all, I was still an Omega and whatever that blood stunt was doesn’t count. I kept denying that I was something more than an Omega but I could only tell myself that because Alpha Rex was past caring or listening. I’ve been training rigorously in the past
EUDORAI opened my eyes and they met with an unfamiliar ceiling. I could tell that was neither my room nor Alpha Rex’s room from the dark and sombre shade of the ceiling. There was something depressing about its colour that made my chest tight and my heart ache. Waking up to this kind of ceiling everyday would have to be the most terrible fate ever and I desperately wanted it to disappear. Since I was laying on my back, I decided to roll on my sides so I can have a less depressing view. I rolled on my left side but it did not give me the result I expected.Instead, it shocked me so much that I sat up quickly on the bed I’d been laying on as I realised that the ceiling wasn’t the only strange thing about where I had suddenly woken up. The bed I was on was only one out of the many beds arranged in rows in a narrow room. The beds were so tiny and the room too small for them so that it felt like the walls were closing in on me. Where in the world was I? Why did it feel so strange and
EUDORA“Woah.” Logan. He’s been having a field day with my hair ever since Alpha Rex left and put him in charge of looking after me. Now, it appears he is doing more of looking at me than actually looking after me. He doesn’t hide how stunned he is by my hair and he does it in a way that doesn't make me uncomfortable, no. I couldn’t tell if this new found confidence in my hair was because of the way Alpha Rex kisses it and tells me it is beautiful every chance he gets but it felt good and the attention it draws from Logan was just too amusing for me to feel less of myself. Well, that and the fact that he doesn’t seem to believe that I was born this way. It was almost hilarious. When he first saw me this morning, he hadn't really taken notice. He just passed by me saying, “Nice hair.” and then stopped halfway to the kitchen only to turn back and look at me with eyes as wide as saucers. I’d laughed but Alpha Rex didn’t seem to like the way Logan was looking at me and told him to
ALPHA REXI shattered completely. My vision slightly blurred while my grip on the frame got hard enough to actually break it into two. Number 7. It’s embroidered on her chest, big, red and brighter than her entire appearance in the photo. She was young. Pale. And her eyes, pained.“Your father and I had an agreement. That no one should ever know that she became his Luna. That no one knows your mother’s past, including you.” He continued to speak but I could barely hear him above the roaring of blood in my ears. She was all I saw. All of my memories of her–good and bad–tainted one after the other by what I am learning about her now. How had she felt? What were her days and waking moments like? How had she survived? How much pain was she in? Did she wish to die? Did she try to?“I do not know why the rogue sent such a warning to me. Why he asked me to tell you the truth about Lunita but I am afraid that your dead mother might be in some way related to the disappearance of the Omegas,
ALPHA REX'S POVWeak. She makes me weak. Even when she’s been unashamedly gone for so darn long and I have learnt to move on from the pain of her keeping me in the dark even after I gave her another chance, my mother still makes me weak. The weakness she stirs inside of me can be the only reason I regarded Alpha Raule with my attention despite how much I despise him. The weakness she instilled in me can be the only reason I agreed to go back with him to his pack with him so I could learn this truth he speaks of. This tale about my mother that I have craved for so long to know about and the one he claims that I can only understand if I come with him to his pack. Of course, I asked questions. Questions of how someone like him knew anything about my mother. For a promise to help him, he traded my silence till we got to his pack and I didn’t ask anymore questions after that. There was no need to as long as the truth he was trading for my help was worth it. I left with him reluctantly
ZENA*A FEW HOURS EARLIER*( In the same Timeline as Alpha Rex’s encounter with the rogue) “You’ve got to stop doing that.” Logan said, no doubt referring to me shifting and ruining my clothes in the process. I had just walked out of the corner where I’d been changing into the new set of clothing Logan managed to get after I ruined the last ones by shifting and jumping to attack our stalker who is now waiting at my behest, after saying the words that had me stunned for more than a few minutes until Logan lifted me off the man. Logan didn’t seem pleased about a lot of things but him having to run around to get me new clothes seemed to top his annoyance chart. I sidestepped him, more concerned about the man who claimed to know my mother than I was about my situationship with Logan at the present moment. He didn’t argue, he just fell into step beside me.“Where is he?” I asked, now fully dressed and heading back to the alley where I had attacked the man. We were already at the entran
