The Alpha's Caregiver 133–Of freedom and Rebellions.
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

EUDORAThe neon light sign of the club was the object of nightmares and you’d think staring at it long and hard will make it go dim or make me forget my experience there. “I am not going in there.” I lost count of how many times I said that to Zena as we stood at a distance close to the long line of people that were filing into the club. At the entrance, the two huge men I recognized from the last time I came here, were checking for passes that I didn’t even know we had until Zena handed one out to each of us. The long queue was thinning and soon, it would be our turn to go in there. “I told you it’s not going to be like last time.” I have also lost count of the number of times she has said that. “You could have told me!” I hissed, trying so hard to not let all the conflicting emotions get the better of me. I just wanted to get out of here, go back home and into the safety of my room where there were no rogues. Maybe rebelling wasn’t really a good idea and Alpha Rex was right to m

EUDORA.There was something about the way he was crouched down in front of me and holding out his hand. Something about the way his lips stretched into the most genuine smile as he waited for me to take his hand and something about his voice and the way it instantly soothed me and clamped down on my anxiety of being around so many people.Maybe it was the way he showed up out of nowhere when I was in distress after suddenly disappearing on us. It made me torn between slapping some sense into him or taking his hand and getting off the floor. I couldn’t do either. Everything faded into the background—the people and the ear-splitting music—and it was just us and the twirling lights above us as our eyes remained locked in an emotion filled gaze. By emotions, I meant mine. They suddenly went from ‘I want the ground to open up and swallow me whole’ to ‘I’m confused, why do I want to remain like this for eternity?’ His smile made it all fade away and he made me feel like I was a main char

EUDORA. Her harsh tone lashed at me like a whip laced with venom. I didn’t care for her words as vulgar as they were but instead the way her face hardened like I had done something abominable. Maybe I had really done thatI had almost kissed her brother in the heat of the moment knowing how every relationship surrounding him was complicated. “No, why would you even say that?” I finally found my voice. “I dunno! Maybe because you were all over him.” She retorted. “You don’t even know that!” I wanted to know how she knew what had almost happened between us. Not that I was counting on this being some sort of prank just because I didn’t want her to feel betrayed and ruin what we have as friends. Whatever reason it was I asked, it didn’t go the way I planned because she scoffed and snickered like she couldn’t believe what was happening. “Because I’m blind?” If she was angry before, she is enraged now.I moved closer, “You know I didn’t mean it that way.”“It damn well sounded like you

ZENA Rage. Despair. Pain. Those were the feelings that sum up the entire twenty years of my life. I have never gone a full day without feeling either one of them. It was like a stage, one I ascended to or descended down from. I was more familiar with rage because it was the only way I could express how I felt without feeling weak. Without being looked down on like a mere child with confused hormones, throwing tantrums. I would rather rave and tear the whole world down than let them see through me. And then when I am alone, I descend into despair. My loss becomes more apparent and the feeling of hopelessness creeps in. The feeling that nothing would change no matter what I do. That my life would forever remain the same. That I would never really know what happened to my parents and why they had to die like that. The pain brings tears. It makes me curl into myself at night. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and it hits me like the waves of a stormy ocean. And then I wake

ZENA•••Max—or whatever it is Eudora named him—lost me at the word, ‘pain’. Not like I was willing to listen to whatever he had to say anyway but just like he has always done since I met him, he succeeded in fanning the flames of my rage by mentioning something that I could swear was foreign to my asshole brother. Pain? What does Rex know about pain? What does he know about living in the same hell everyday and not being able to get out of it no matter what you do? What does he even know about me? He was totally clueless about me and cared more about exerting his revenge on our parents and everything they have built, than he did about the little girl who witnessed the death of the so-called parents. A girl who learnt to grow up on her own in total darkness and became an adult long before the significant age and before her body started changing. A girl who grew up without answers and had to fight for them till this day. So no, I didn’t care about Rex’s pain. I didn’t want to kn

ZENA•••Really?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. “I might change my mind if you don’t stop hiding and watching me like a creep.” I threatened and his hurried footsteps carried him to where I was seated. He hesitated for a few seconds but I knew the moment he lowered himself to the ground and sat beside me.“Too close.” I snapped. “Got it!” He answered quickly and moved farther away. “I told you not to follow me.” “I know.” He responded weakly. “Are you usually this relentless or is it just you being stupid as usual? Because I literally threatened to kill you yet here you are.” “I just wanted to talk to you.” He said again.I snorted, “If this is about that shit you said to me before, then the threat to kill you still stands.” “Well, I’m not afraid of you. Okay, I was earlier but then I remembered you threaten to kill me at least twice a day but l somehow I wake up the next day unharmed so I’mcounting on today being one of those days too.” I shook my head.

EUDORA. I walked—more like stormed—through a clear but unfamiliar path near the club,opposite of where Zena went and also ahead of whoever was following me. I called my situation a trap because I didn’t know where I was and whoever it was following me had a clear advantage. They were stealthy, barely making any sound with their feet but I was very much aware of their presence as not much was done to cover the strong roguish scent that the night air carried, accompanied with the unmistakable smell of alcohol. Whatever rogue followed me had a lot to drink and that didn’t make me feel any better about my situation or the fact that I was always in one danger or another. But Heaven knew I really didn’t want to do this today. Rather than fear, a wave of despair and sadness was all I felt. I looked slowly over my shoulder a few times, careful and pretending I had no idea I was being followed and each time I did that, a dark figure caught my eyes just as it tried to hide behind somethings

The Alpha's Caregiver END-HER DESTINY
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 183-The first Pure Blood
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 182-At all Costs.
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 181-The Whining of a Weakling
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 180-A Bigger Destiny
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 179-A Crazy Turn
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 178-The Greater Hell
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,
The Alpha's Caregiver 177-One 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
The Alpha's Caregiver 176-The Confession.
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
