The Alpha's Caregiver 152–THE BAIT
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
The Alpha's Caregiver 153–THE BAITED
ALPHA REX.Our plan was simple. Logan made shit up. His years of watching every human fantasy film he can set his hands on paid off. The humans had a knack for making movies based on their imaginations when none of them had actually met a true werewolf. My assumptions are always that one of them probably did but as the stories passed around, it became a watered down version of what the real one is supposed to be;hence the lame storylines of the movies.“It’s more hilarious than it is interesting now. How do they make this shit up?”He’d say whenever I asked why he was watching them. Magic or sorcery doesn’t exist in our world nor does it exist in that which the human’s live in. However, it exists in their movies and Logan nicked a story off of one. The character was part of a bloodline that wielded power like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Bad men are naturally drawn to it and will do anything to have it for themselves. The character in our case is Eudora. The bad men are the

EUDORA. (Fifteen Minutes earlier…)“Stay here, the Alpha will come get you.” I did as I was told; I stayed. The ‘here’ in question was a small room, an extension of a somewhat larger space that I didn’t see clearly when Logan left the house with me and led us here. After he closed the door behind him as he left, I spent the first few minutes accessing the room, mostly because I wondered if there was anything there that could give me an answer to the only question that’s bugging me since Alpha Rex got me this dress: Why? Why had I been brought here? What was the fancy dress for? The small room proffered no answer. It was a study or at least used to be one. The dust covered books on the only furniture—a table and a chair—was a witness to how long it’s been since anyone has used this room. There were a few other items, stationeries, figurines and some more books stacked neatly on a small shelf. I couldn’t help the feeling of slight disappointment that washed over me at the thought
The Alpha's Caregiver 155.BLADE WIELDING MANIAC.
EUDORA. The voice in my head was a good enough distraction from the striking silver eyes of the hulking man standing over me and the corpse of the man he’d just killed with a blade. The voice was one I haven’t heard in a long time and I’d forgotten I even had. “He’s here…finally, he’s here for us.” There’s a delight in the voice—the kind that no one in their right mind should have when they are being faced with possible death by a blade wielding, malevolently looking man. For a voice I was hearing for the first time in weeks, my wolf’s voice was nothing like a soothing balm that it should have been. Instead, it was like salt rubbed over and over on a wound that was fast healing. It stung. However , it also sprung me back to life and jerked me out of my paralyzed state. We don’t converse much but with the little time we have, I was well aware of the fact that both times, I was in a life threatening situation. And this was one. Only a fool would need her wolf to tell her to get
The Alpha's Caregiver 156.To Be Normal.
ALPHA REX. A fucking disaster. That’s what the whole day has been and just when you think it couldn’t get worse, another dead body is dropped at your feet. I wasn’t sure how many times I’ve killed pretty boy in my head—probably a gazillion times—and I should be the happiest person on earth to finally be able to stand over that piece of shit’s body but even in his death, he still found a way to fuck me over.Unlike the other Alphas, Conan was killed in one single blow or to put more accurately, one single slice. He didn’t die a tortured death like the others. His death was clean, precise. Unpremeditated. Clearly, it was spontaneous and happened in the heat of the moment. He hadn’t meant to kill him but he did it for a reason. That reason being the girl I’d found unconscious mere feet away from Conan. The girl whose sudden disappearance had driven me right over the edge and made me almost lose my mind to the thought that he’d taken her away from me. It was only for a few minutes bu

ZENA. There’s only one means for comfort in my messed up life and I clutched it tightly to my chest as I laid on my bed. My eyes were tightly shut. I see nothing but darkness everyday of my life but closing my eyes like that helps feel like I’m just like everyone else. Like I was normal. With my mother’s picture held tightly to my chest, I tried to search for the good memories amidst the dark one that keeps rearing its ugly head like a venomous snake. I tried so hard to keep it from rising to the surface but no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t budge. It’s been that way since Rex said those words to me. I’ve only ever had a single memory of my parents' death. Even in my dreams, it was always the same. I’ve had the same dream over and over again for me to know I didn’t see wrong. It was always the same. The blood soaking the lush white rug of my father’s room. My father’s eyes wide open and lifeless. My mother beside him, her neck twisted to the other side. And Rex standing ove

ZENA. “How long have you been following me?” I said, sneering at him and chanelling all of my anger from this afternoon into grabbing him by the neck. I didn’t grip him too hard but it was enough to have him choking for air and of course, Logan wouldn’t fight back. He never does because of the stupid mate bond. Groaning, I let go of him;my anger already subsiding. There was no point attacking him if he is only going to let me hurt him and not try to fight back. I sprang off him like he was hot coal that was burning holes into my body. In truth, it did feel too hot being that close to him. That and the fact that shifting has left me stark naked. “Shit.” I cursed at the realization that I was naked. I turned my back against him, my cheeks tinting red in embarrassment. I sensed him standing as well and it was futile trying to cover my privates with my hands.“Zena—” He started to say.“Don’t.” I cut him off, looking over my shoulder although I couldn’t see him anymore. I was back in

ZENA. We stood, seconds after Logan’s mind-numbing words as clouds darker than the ones in the sky that the moon was peeking through, settled over us—over me. And even when the moon succeeded in fighting the clouds, coming out victorious and casting its silver glow over the large clearing, mine were still darker than ever. There were clasping thunderstorms in my head and a good chance of a heavy storm that could sweep me away.That is the only way I can describe how I felt at that moment. I had just been told that the woman I’ve spent my entire life mourning was alive and I couldn’t even move a finger—or a paw in my case since I was still on all fours in my wolf form. “Are you okay? Say something.” Logan’s worried voice broke through providing a single crack in the clouds that made light flood through but that was enough to jerk me out of the shocking effect his words had on me. “Woah! Woah.” Logan exclaimed, backing away the moment he saw me shifting back. I hadn’t thought it thr

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
