Hmm…I smell drama👀 Leticia isn’t just going to leave, is she? And Eudora as bait? Will they really capture our mysterious rogue this way?
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
L’s POV•••One would think one good turn in your life means everything will suddenly begin to go well. One good fortune and you think you have the entire world under your feet so instead of getting crushed under the heavy weight of the world, you are rather standing on it, strong and resilient, knowing you survived. But it never really ends, does it? Because even when you are on top of the world, you can always fall. No wind is too small to throw you down and your greatest fear should be not being able to stand again after you fall.***Things changed. It was clear they would after what had happened. The news spread faster than lightning. Of course, it was just the one of me being taken by not just anyone but by the son of the Alpha and the future Alpha of the pack and not about us being mates.No one could ever find that out. I still remember Maximilian’s strong warning that night. “All you have to do is stay still. Don’t do anything. I will do everything for us, I will fight
L’s POV•••If we thought the worst thing that could happen to us was his parents finding out about us, we were wrong. Things could get a lot worse than that and it did. It all went down from the moment Maximilian stepped in between his mother and I without thinking. I couldn’t blame him because I knew he was only trying to protect me just like he promised. I could only blame the world that did this to us. That didn’t give us a chance to love each other on our own terms but through the circumstances around us.“You don’t mean that.” His mother was finally able to say after it seemed like forever since he made the groundbreaking announcement. With his hand still holding mine firmly, he faced his mother defiantly, “It’s a mate bond, mother. I don’t have to mean it. You just have to open your eyes and see it.” I’ve never seen Luna Trisha so distraught. I never even thought she was capable of any other feeling other than the one every one of us has come to know but I witnessed it firs
Dear readers!Thank you for coming on this journey with me and still sticking around up till this moment.

Thank you for every comment, every gem and every cent you spend reading every chapter of my book.

L’s POV.•••Mason. My very motivation had come to me and even though my legs were weak, I willed them to pull me up so I could go to my brother. When they failed, I crawled on all fours, tears spilling out of my eyes despite the smile that was beginning to form on my lips at the sight of him. My hoarse voice sent soft weak words out my chapped lips as Mason also went on to kneel to meet my height.“Mason.” I wish he didn’t have to see me this way—broken and barely clinging on to life. If I didn’t miss him so much that it hurt, I would have turned him away from me so that his innocence will remain the same, that’s if the monster who did this to us hasn’t tainted it yet. I think it was that fear that made me hold on to my brother instead of turning him away. If Mason was hurting and broken like me, I had to know. I had to fix it before he’s past repair.“Luna.” He was heaving, breaking down in tears as soon as he took full sight of me. While he cried, my hands roamed him—from his
EUDORA.I threw up. And if I had gotten to the bathroom a second later, the contents of my stomach that were now swirling in the water closet would have ended up on my bed instead. I was bent over the toilet seat, assisting my weight with my hands that gripped both sides of the seat tightly while I tried to catch my breath.Moments after I was sure there was no need for me to remain in there, I flushed the toilet and watched the last of the nasty content disappear while my mouth still bore the taste and a stinging reminder of why I threw up in the first place.At the wash hand basin, I splashed water all over my face and also took some in my mouth to cleanse it. With dread, I returned back into my room, taking ginger steps like I was an intruder there. It was just where I left it on my bed—the Journal. From a distance, it looked even more ominous than it did on the first night I found it buried under all that dirt. More ominous than it did a few minutes ago when I hadn’t read the se
ALPHA REX.For the first time since I became the Alpha, I never thought I’d willingly attend an Alpha meeting without being summoned or in this case, I never thought I would actually be the one to summon Alphas for a meeting. I watched with unenthusiastic interest as more Alphas filed into the hall. The lack of interest is mutual as the disapproving looks they sent my way showed. I was aware of the moment Alpha Raule arrived as well as the Alpha of the Blucoven pack and his shit face son. It irked me to be in the same space as them both for the next hour or so, but pretty boy’s crooked nose from our last encounter should help me see this through. That too, and the maddening need to protect what was mine. I summoned them all and that made me the presiding Alpha. “You better have a good reason for summoning everyone here.” My attention was drawn to Alpha Theo, the one who had presided over the meeting in his pack days ago. Of course, today’s meeting was also being held in his pack.
EUDORA. I shimmered like a thousand stars courtesy of the sequins sewn onto the blue halter neck dress that I was wearing. The same one Alpha Rex got me out of the blue sometime this past week. If there was one thing I’ve learnt since coming here, it was to never question what goes on in the Alpha's head. And so until he drove me to a dressmaker, had me try on this itchy yet beautiful piece of clothing, ogled me like something he wanted to unravel layers and layers of—while also having me squirming so hard under that intense look in his eyes—and drove us back home without a word; I asked no questions.The only thing Alpha Rex said to me was to go on with my usual routine until he sends for me. Since my usual routine wasn’t so usual anymore without Zena, I descended into a deep pit of worry, thinking of all the reasons the Alpha got me something as beautiful as this. Then today, he told me to put on this dress. As I stood and stared at myself in the mirror. It was so beautiful that
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
