Chapter 18: Eyes that change with time. EUDORA. Outside of his door, I tried hard to steady my breathing. I looked down at myself like any crinkle on my borrowed dress could tick him off or a single hair out of place would make him run wide like he did back at Alpha Tauren’s room. One thing I made sure to keep properly hidden under the wig was my multi-colored hair. No one could see that. Especially not him. With shaky and clammy hands, I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. That familiar scent hit me before anything else. And like the first time, it almost knocked me over. I didn’t have to see him to feel his presence, thick and prominent in the air. There was not a breathing space that didn’t have him written all over it. The room was just like him. Dark. Hazy. Almost suffocating like it would snuff the life out of you. He was nowhere around and I trudged further into his space. I was startled the moment my eyes caught a painting on the wall. Heavens! It was huge eve
Hello dear reader, Littlest writer here! If you haven’t noticed, this is my first werewolf book and I almost gave it up countless times because it just didn’t feel right and that storyline messed with my head so bad. But I’ve decided to continue anyway and give it my best and hope that you love the idea as much as I did when I first started it. Please, stick around and let this beautiful story unravel. Now, the main purpose of this short note is to bring to your attention something you might find confusing. Most of Alpha Rex’s POV would begin with memories of his past that will all make sense as the plot unravels and at the beginning and end of each flashback(whether as a dream or not) I use this emoji “♣️” to make it easier to tell the past and the present apart. I hope this explanation is clear enough for you! Thanks for adding my book to your library and finding it worth the read. Please leave comments as well as they make me feel better about my writing! I hope to write more b
CHAPTER 19: Their weakness. ALPHA REX.Sometimes, the memories of the past bite harsher when your eyes are open and the world around you isn’t bleary from a nightmare.♣️♣️♣️“He’s awake.” My eyelids were forced open by gloved fingers and bright light from something no smaller than a pen stung my eyes. It made me wince and struggle to have my eyes closed enough to get away from the bright light.The damned scientist was here again. And he wasn’t alone. He brought a guest. One of whom the marks by the side of my bed represented. One of whom I would kill right after I have clawed out the chest of the damned scientist. A slow death that didn’t need bloodshed to make an impact on their lives forever. The light was taken away and when I opened my eyes again, I saw her. She hovered over me like a dark cloud and there was that familiar look in her silver eyes, a glassy sea that mirrored mine. She smiled. I hated it because it was fucking sincere like she was really happy to see me. I was
CHAPTER 20–Keyword is “Kill” Eudora.Lillian pulled up from the floor and exited the room with me. I had my arms wrapped tightly around the old Gamma, putting most of my weight on her as my legs were too heavy to walk out of there on their own accord. Despite how heavy I no doubt was, Lillian didn’t complain, neither did she let me go till we were totally out of the room and back in the safety of mine. The moment she locked the door behind us, I let her go and fell to the ground heavily, gripping my chest as it heaved from a panic attack that was fast stealing my breath away from me. I wheezed and coughed. Tears streamed out of my eyes because of how hard it was to breathe. Death. It felt like it was finally ready to claim me and save me the misery that my life has become. I became aware of Lillian’s presence behind me. The old Gamma put a hand on my hunched over back, patting it lightly seeminly to help me overcome my plight. “Breathe, Eudora. Let yourself breathe.” She whispere
CHAPTER 21–How it feels to be weak. ALPHA REXI almost forgot how it felt to be weak. The last time I felt it was before this new being formed inside of me and the only other time I felt it was when I met her…♣️♣️♣️“Rex…I brought you a friend.” I wasn’t strapped to a chair or the bed. This time, they had me in a barricaded cell that is nothing like the conventional one that has enough space for one to put their hands or head through. It was blocked in all corners with only a little space for me to see through and another one close to the ground probably for food to pass through. I was caged like a beast. It was beyond me how they managed to get a really large cage in here but I wasn’t surprised they were able to put me in here. They did it while I was unconscious, the way they liked to keep me because they knew how crazy I get and how much I fantasized about killing my captors. Keeping me in this cage was probably because of the other pair of eyes aside from that of the scienti
CHAPTER 22–I am the dinner. EUDORA.The rest of the week in the Angels and Banes pack was peaceful. Too peaceful for a pack said to be borne out of chaos and destruction and for someone like me whose life went to shit in a couple of days. I couldn’t say I enjoyed the peace and quiet when the world inside of my own head was a mess but I still reveled in the joy that the world outside of it wasn’t calling for the end of me.At least not yet. Since I remained in the designated room on the Alpha’s home, I had no reason to see him. It was almost as if he hasn’t decided on what to do with me after the traumatizing experience in his room the way he regained consciousness. I hoped to the goddess that he kept it that way. I didn’t know for how long but I just prayed I didn’t have to see him for as long as needed for me to recover from everything I’ve been through since I turned eighteen. Lillian was the only soul I set my eyes on after that day. She was the only soul I longed to see because
CHAPTER 23–Her Alpha till he says otheewsuse. ALPHA REX♣️♣️♣️They fed me well. I had to be the only prisoner in the world who always had a table set before him like a king. It was the only thing that didn't change over the years as eating that way was the kind of life I had before I was coldly tossed into this one. I cared less if anything is added into my meals since I got injected with an even stronger substance most of the time anyway. Whenever the damned scientist shows up with my food, he'd ask: "Do you want me to sit and eat with you?" Each time, a angry growl was enough for him to take the hint and leave me the fuck alone before I finally settle down in my peace and quiet to eat my meals. Having to see his face while I eat would only make me choke on my food. Eating was the only time I felt human. Normal. It was the only time I felt like I wasn't some enraged beast locked up to save the world from ruin. It was the only time I wasn't thirsty for blood and destruction b
CHAPTER 24–A stickler for rules. EUDORAI wasn’t hungry when I approached the table to eat with Alpha Rex but I thought it was going to be easy to stuff my face with food and leave as soon as I could. Since I couldn't change anything else, I could at least reduce the time I had to spend around him. It didn’t go as planned. Not with the sibling war—one like no other—that I got swept up in and I couldn’t even bring myself to eat the food in front of me after that. The hatred between the both of them was sizzling. You could feel it in your bones and it could electrocute you if you got too close. It was beyond me how Lillian spoke so highly of Alpha Rex while his sister hated him to bits. When I asked Lillian because she was the only actual person willing to talk to me in the entire house, she didn’t give an answer. I couldn’t decide if it was because she really didn’t know or she wasn’t allowed to spill the tea. Either way, if my life was hell before, having to sit in the middle of tw
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
