EUDORA.If he was teasing me or actually meant every word that left his lips, with his man, I never could tell. But for both our sake, I hoped this was a tease and he wasn’t really asking me to bath him. A grown man! “Are you kidding me?” I snapped at him when I was finally able to regain my composure from the shock I received earlier at his carelessly thrown words. He scratched his head, “You seem horrified. Did I say something scary?”Clueless. He was totally clueless. I was this close to opening my mouth and calling him stupid just the way his sister does but I clamped down on it. He was totally clueless to how his words messed up my insides and caused me to go red from the bottom up. Him being an Omega, I could pretend to understand but him being stupid just because he’s an Omega? I felt insulted. Ignoring the buff chest and the very obvious V of his waist, I stalked over to him. He backed away, slightly frightened by my determined movement towards. He grips the end of the tub
L’s POV.***I stopped counting the days. Even as I write this, I do not remember exactly when all of these happened. It was hard to keep counting when everyday was just me reliving the same torture over and over again. You’d think it would get better as the days bled into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but it never did and the longer I was in captivity, the sooner I realized that it never would. It could only get worse. And when I met others like me, the only question I had in mind was, what made me special? What made me different from all of the other Omegas held captive in the MoonBorn pack? What made me believe my fate was worse than theirs?My fate changed within a minute of me finding out that Mason, my brother who I tried so hard to protect even with my death, was already in the hands of the merciless Alpha who tore our family apart. I always knew—no, my parents always told me we were powerless and a few times, I have experienced it back at our own pack but t
L’s POV****I was never really curious about the world but there was always a question at the back of my mind because as an Omega, what it entailed was like a luxury, the kind someone like me couldn’t enjoy. How does one fall in love?Does it begin with a touch that sends sparks flying in the air? Eye contact that leaves you mesmerized for days? The laughter of that one person that gives you butterflies for days even after they’re gone? Gifts that show the affection of one towards another?Well, for me it started with three words; “Are you hurt?” In a world where no one cared about Omegas and what happened to them other than what they needed to gain from us, hearing those words after bumping into someone, losing my footing and falling to the ground was like hearing Luna Trisha dishing out orders to us without threats of punishing us in the most brutal ways. He wasn’t just anyone too, he was an Alpha male and like every other one of them, he scared me at first, so much that I c
L’s POV***Asides love, the concept of being bonded to one person for all of eternity has always left me with questions too. About how natural it was for us to meet someone that will belong to us and us to them, forever. Learning that at first, felt good, especially for an Omega who has been told all her life where she stands in the scheme of things.It felt good to know that we were at least allowed one thing. To know that though inferior to them, we still had one thing in common and that was the ability to feel a connection with someone who would be ours forever. Someone you could share your fears, dreams and hopes with. Someone that would feel your pain, your pleasure and every other thing in between. It was hard to accept at first that you could suddenly meet someone and be forced to like them just because some goddess tied a string onto both your hearts and bodies so that no matter what you do, you both end up with each other but I knew from the little moments spent with my pa
L’s POV***I thought things couldn’t get any worse after that. I didn’t think any other misfortune could beat being deceived by the very first person I opened my heart to or having to satisfy him that night knowing my body would betray me and love every second of it. Knowing that my heart could hate him but my body would welcome him willingly not just because he evokes strong emotions inside of me but because he was also my mate and going by the spark I felt when I realized what we were to each other, I couldn’t resist him even if I tried. I thought all of that was the worst that could happen to me but I’ve never been more wrong. ***There was a deadly silence, following the last words of Maximilian. His hand still hung in the air where he held up the one of the Alpha who had almost hit me. It was like time seized for a second and every single person in the hall was trying to figure out just how much his words weigh. Until his father broke the silence. “Maximilian, what are you
EUDORA.After a week of nursing a literal man-child, nothing was weird anymore, in fact, me not getting used to everything that was going on would be the only strange thing as it seemed everyone has gotten used to it pretty fast. By everyone, I mean Zena. She took pleasure in torturing the nameless personality of her brother. It was as if she was taking all the years of Alpha Rex doing the same thing to her, out on him. They looked more of siblings now than ever with the constant bickering and banters about the most trivial things and of the both of them, the one who couldn’t take the heat was obvious and each time, he would use me as a shield while trying to avoid getting beat up by Zena for something he said. There are times that he couldn’t avoid her wrath. He either got hurt or got punished in ways that made me question who was older. Using her dominance as an Alpha blood, she would command him to do chores like clean her already tidy room, arrange the books on her shelf or read
EUDORA. He couldn’t be serious. “You can’t be serious.” I blurted. He stopped rummaging, only for a second to look at me as he held up a neon colored sock. It distracted me a bit, surprised that the Alpha actually has something of color in his closet.“And I won’t be going through Rex’s closet looking for an outfit if I wasn’t serious.” He continued searching. “Aha.” He exclaimed loudly, taking out a deep blue t-shirt and a black one. “This or this?” He said, stretching them forward, wiggling thick his brows playfully. I couldn’t help the scoff that left my lips. He must be insane to think he was really going anywhere on my watch. I snatched both shirts away from him and tossed them onto the bed.“None! You’re not going anywhere.” His expression fell. “Now, clean up your mess. I’m going to ask Zena what all of this is about.” I turned away from him and left the room. They’ve been up to a lot of things all week but this one has to be the craziest. It was already hard enough to
EUDORA We were doing it—rebelling. And it was ironic that the one person who would have stopped us was the most excited about ‘finally leaving the house and touching grass’. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited too. The thought of having a fun night without restraints or fear that I didn’t deserve such luxury, made me so giddy that I couldn’t sleep the night Zena told me. But I’d also be lying if I said there wasn’t a part of me that still had that niggling fear but as I watched myself in the mirror after Zena was done with my makeup the night of our “rebellion”, it was buried to the very depth of my mind, never to resurface. “All done. What do you think?”“Wow.” I whispered breathlessly. It was the best I could do because I couldn’t believe the girl in the mirror was me. “You’re gonna have to give me more than that because hello? Blind witch?” I suppressed a laugh at the nickname he gave her. Although that was one of the things that made me marvel at the wonder she had j
