This was what I wanted everyone to see when I wrote the previous chapter and now I’m satisfied with what I have written here. Zena is a really flawed character and we’ve always known that 😅 Although, now we see her and her intentions as they truly are. How do you feel about her lying and deceiving Eudora? Will they ever go back to being friends? After reading this, Do you think Eudora knows Zena like she told Alpha Rex?
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. His stupidity st
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
EUDORA.Since it was hard for my brain to keep up, my lips did what my heart told them to do as my heart seemed to be the only organ capable of processing what was going on at that moment. It was hammering against my ribcage at first, threatening to burst out of his confinements until it slowed down and made my entire body relax in his hold. And then my brain finally caught up. He was awake. And he was kissing me. I lost track of time and where I was as well as how bad this would look if anyone walked through that door and saw us this way. My brain however wasn’t doing much thinking because all it could process was how unbelievably soft his lips were as they moulded into mine like they would become one. The feel of his lips sent something like electricity crackling through me, starting from my brain and sending the tingly signals down to even the tip of my toes. Goosebumps spread through my body, causing every single hair on my skin to rise like it would if I was in danger. This
ALPHA REX.One thing packs revered more than the moon goddess, their beliefs they’d die protecting, mate bonds and boundaries, is meetings that bring Alphas of all packs together under the same roof. It was one of the rarest occurrences in the werewolf community and could only mean whatever reason a meeting was called is more than what a pack can handle alone. Me?Well, I’ve never given a shit until now. I guess no one expected the beastly son of the Alpha of the Angels and Banes pack to show up at a meeting instead of being locked up in his cage. Before that meeting, no one knew the changes that had happened at the pack or that I had taken over. I still remember the whispers, murmurs, grumbles and accusing eyes that followed me as I took my seat amongst them and introduced myself as the new Alpha. Of course, my ascension as Alpha wasn’t smiled upon but there was nothing anyone could do about it. Alphas wolves were territorial and knew what it meant to respect boundaries. One thin
ALPHA REXIf I thought by some miracle, the old geezer would leave Eudora and my involvement out of this, I was wrong. Instead, he seemed to be delighted to drag me right through it. “Yes, an Omega.” He finally responded, “The Rogue—”I pulled him back, making him slam into his seat. He glared back at me, eyes blazing with shock, surprise and irritation all at once. I couldn’t just sit back and watch, especially as no one but us knew about the Omega. Or so I thought.“Wait…is this about that written note found on the body of the Alpha of the MoonCrest pack?” A wry smile spread Raule’s lips as someone somewhere in the room said that. For a second there, I forgot that the only reason no one knew about an Omega or a note with an inscription about her on it was because the first body was found at my borders and I did a good job at covering it up. The rogue must have known and that was why he messed with me this time, placing the body somewhere else and taking the bold step of spreadin
EUDORAOf all the ways I imagined seeing Alpha Rex again after he woke up, being at my door wasn’t one of them. Yet, there he was, standing with his two hands dipped in his pocket as he stared straight at me. I lost count of the number of times my heart skipped a beat just by seeing him there.I panicked. And I reacted by doing the craziest thing I’ve done since kissing him in his unconscious state. I slammed the door in his face, fastened the lock and backed away from it like it would come crashing down any moment from then. I placed my hand on my beating heart to calm and assure myself that everything was alright but my brain was screaming the opposite. None of this was alright. I didn’t expect to see him so soon or to see him at all. Especially as I have prepared myself for the next time we would meet. The plan was simple, act like nothing happened. Like I didn’t sneak after him and disrespect him. Like it wasn’t my fault he fell down the cliff. Like things were back to the way
ALPHA REX.I didn’t know why I approached her room until I saw her. It was because I knew the sight of her—safe, under my roof and belonging to me—would calm my raging thoughts and send them into hiding. It worked, until it didn’t. Eudora succeeded in stirring something beyond anger inside of me. So much that it hurt. In my painfully hard dick and somewhere in my heart. Especially as I realized that what she had for me when she saw the blood was true concern.It wasn’t just a chore for her or a duty she was sworn by but true worry. It was etched in her features. Her pupils had dilated and the specks of brown inside of them had been even brighter It was laced in her voice with the way she scolded me like I was a fucking child. I simmered down before I realized it and let her guide me like I was strong enough to break all the bones in her body.She’d been genuinely worried and I hated and liked it at the same time. I hated it because who she worried about wasn’t truly me. I liked it
EUDORA. Since our last encounter, I’ve been wary of the Alpha. The promises of what he would do to me excited and scared me at the same time and the only way to keep my emotions from overwhelming me was avoiding him. Thankfully, he seemed really busy and everything seemed to return to the way it used to be quicker than I expected after everything that has happened in the past week. The only thing that wasn’t the same anymore was my heart as well as my relationship with my only friend. I wasn’t even sure if I could call her that anymore. Zena hasn’t said more than a word to me since our first big fight. When our paths meet around the house, I either get a nod of the head of a simple “hey” as she retires back into her room. But even before that, running into each other always sends some sort of shocking signal throughout my entire body. Awkward wasn’t the kind of feeling I was supposed to have with Zena around but that was the exact feeling each time we suddenly ran into each other
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
