ALPHA REX. I haven’t felt this disturbed in a long time. Like the world was closing in on me and breathing now became too hard. I was going to give it up, Heaven knew. I was going to stop going after something that seemed too impossible to be true but it was different now that someone was dead and not just dead, killed and dumped at my doorstep as a warning to me. I couldn’t stop thinking about the way Alpha Tauren wound up dead at my borders. As merciless and brutal as people claim I was, I could have never killed anyone the way Alpha Tauren was killed. It showed just how much I have undermined the Rogue who was going around packs and promising a new world order. He’s dangerous-whoever he is. He was a threat and was unlike anybody I have ever met. He knew more about me than he was letting on and I know people like that. They are like rabid dogs who will not let go of a prey that they have sunk their teeth into and now he has bitten me and he won’t let go until he has taken everyt
EUDORA.A world more bearable than mine? What a joke. What in heaven’s name did I just read? If the words weren’t written with bold ink but instead printed, I would have argued to death that it was all fiction. That it was just another book of woes where the hero or heroine suffers half of the book and the author only allows them little happiness on page 338 of pages 340. But no, I held it and it was real. It felt so real that it made goosebumps decorate my skin like a piece of art. The first thing I did was close the book and throw it back under the bed like it burned my hands and then I just sat on my bed for seconds longer than I was able to count and just…stared. Stared into blank space. I should have stopped reading from the second entry. Should have taken the warning of the last two lines from that entry but I couldn’t stop myself from being sucked into the pages and had to move on to the third and now I wish I never did. It was both cruel and shocking. She lost everythin
EUDORA. I knew exactly when the clock struck nine. I knew because my eyes followed the hands of the clock right from when it was 7 pm when Zena told me to go wait in my room. According to her, he leaves the house sometime around nine at night and I need to be in his car before then. I was sure I was ready to do it. Certain that it was going to be okay, that all I needed to do was follow him, see where he goes and then inform Zena when I return but as the time got closer for me to actually do it, I became a bundle of nerves, sweating away on my bed as I waited. When a minute passed and Zena still didn’t show up and even Alpha Rex wasn’t home yet, I hoped she already gave it up. I couldn’t go to her and tell her I was too scared to do it anymore but at least I could pretend to be surprised if she told me not to go anymore. When my door burst open, my heart sank and I wanted to cry. The expression on Zena’s face wasn’t that of someone who was coming to tell me that I didn’t have to
EUDORA. He drove for hours. On rough roads and smooth ones. On the smooth ones, I of course had a smooth experience, even dozing off a few times when my fear wasn’t too big enough to keep me from resting my eyes. On the rough ones, I regretted ever getting into the car. I regretted agreeing to do this in the first place and wished I could turn back the hands of time. My head banged against the upper part of the trunk each time he took a really rough path and since I was squeezed a little tight into it, it only made me even more uncomfortable. We spent more time on the rough roads than the smooth ones and after a while, it was all rough and I had to hold myself back from making a sound each time. It didn’t help that it was pitch black in here too and light only flooded the trunk briefly each time he passed what I assumed were street lights. The state of the car didn’t help matters either. It was rickety and spluttered smoke like it was going to break down at any point and now I ha
EUDORA. Déjà Vu. It hit me even harder than the pelting rain as we ran through the forest. The feeling of familiarity came from knowing I’ve been in this same situation before with the rain serving as the only variable. The hand gripping mine tightly and pulling me, my racing heart as I followed him into the unknown while trying to keep the same pace, and the imminent threat to both our lives which was not far behind us as we ran—I’ve seen it all before. It was just like the first day I met him(well, a different version of him but I didn’t even know that then and now that I do, I couldn’t stop my brain from replaying the previous scene in my head), and he practically ran away with me while I was still wearing the dress that signified my innocence that would have been punctured by Alpha Tauren if Alpha Rex hadn’t showed up. It was the day my fate changed upon meeting him and so it was a given that even in this dangerous moment, it was all I could think about. That and the way my he
ALPHA REX.“Are…we lost?” We’ve been silent since we found shelter under the huge rock, staring into the stark darkness ahead of us and listening to nothing but the rhythmic sound of the rain and the occasional thunder that rocked the forest. This wasn’t exactly how I planned the day to go yet here I was, in the middle of a deep forest with a girl whose existence has only ever bothered me since I met her. I’ve been walking the paths of this forest for seven years, ever since that night I regained my freedom and returned to the place I used to call home but this was the first time I’ve gone off course because I had felt the urge to protect someone even though it wasn’t who I was expecting to see. Right now, that someone was curled up beside me, shivering and I can smell her apprehension. I peered into her questioning brown eyes and they almost stopped me from saying the words forming at the tip of my tongue but I let them out anyway. “What do you think?” I snapped at her and she re
EUDORA.I was falling down a cliff. It was an endless fall, one that made me think I would float in the air forever and I was prepared for the outcome, to feel pain the moment my back hits the ground, to let the darkness take over my vision and finally get plunged into that abyss that has been a long time coming but suddenly, an unknown face appeared above the cliff and for some reason, I didn’t want to keep falling anymore.I reached out, desperate. They reached down. But it was too late. I hit the ground the same moment I woke up with a horrified gasp and realized it was just a dream. At least part of it. I tried to remember where I was and the last thing I remembered was someone holding unto me as I slipped and then my vision turned dark. I must have passed out from the shock of the fall down the cliff. On instinct, I sat up and my hands roamed my body. A sigh of relief escaped my lips upon realizing I wasn’t hurt or bleeding anywhere. I was fine, but how? My vision was still
EUDORA.I was freaking out, anyone would If they saw the same thing I was seeing right now. It took slapping my cheeks a few times to be sure I wasn’t the problem and this wasn’t a dream even though I wished it was. Did I hear him right or did he just say he was an Omega? “What sort of rubbish are you blabbering?” I snapped, “Did you hurt your head?” He shook his head, blinking his eyes rapidly and pouting his lips. “My head is fine. Is there a reason why it shouldn’t be?” I shifted closer to him, refusing to believe the fall didn’t mess with his head. Him being his alter ego, I could take but confusing his identity with one that wasn’t his? No. I dug my hand through his hair, letting my fingers scratch through his full head of black and brown, trying to see if he shattered his skull or something. “What are you doing?” He protested, “Stop!”I didn’t back down and even proceeded to grab his entire face so I could have a better look. He struggled with me and pushed me off him. I lan
