ALPHA REX.“It’s tomorrow.” Logan gave me a reminder like I didn’t wake up every single day counting the hours until it’s finally time to get rid of the Omega. “I know. Are the men ready?” I asked, playing with my glass of cheap whiskey—that was all I could get at the Banes club that has now become a second home to me. The ice cubes made up for its bland taste as I found them mesmerizing to look at with the whiskey forming little bubbles around them. “Yes, they will camp at the borders tonight.” I nodded, satisfied by Logan’s answer and relieved that everything was finally going to come to an end. All of my plans were falling into place. “They better not mess this up for me. They only attack tomorrow night when the old geezer leaves the pack with the Omega.” I said to Logan, who nodded dutifully at my command. I’d had enough of forcing the shitty drink down my throat and so I set the glass down, shifting it away from me. I couldn’t wait till all of these ended and things went b
EUDORAI’m back here…again. Alpha Rex had made rules that I was obligated to follow to the letter but there had been an unspoken rule that I had personally made. One that I deemed even more important with grave consequences than any of the other rules. I have repeatedly broken all of the other rules he made while I kept to the one I made for myself. Well, until now.I was never to step foot into Alpha Rex’s room again but here I was standing in the middle of it, exposed to the toxic and angry waves radiating off him as he glared at me. I felt so small standing there. I felt the need to be protected and covered by something. To be shielded away from his piercing eyes that conveyed a deeper expression of disgust and hate than any word from his lips could ever do.I fiddled with my fingers, fear eating me up molecule by molecule that I feared I would collapse to the ground and die. It was so hard to steady my breathing. So hard to not feel like I have finally met my death. Why had he
ALPHA REX. I let Zena out of her room the next day and although her eyes held surprise at seeing me standing by the door of her room, she masked it with a frown. “What do you want?” She rudely asked.“Come out. Let’s have breakfast.” I said calmly to her even when I wanted to do more than just talk to her in a calm way. I still couldn’t get the scene of her and Omega out of my head but for some reason, I just couldn’t bring myself to call her out on it either. “Why? Do you suddenly feel guilty after locking me up for days?” She snapped. I sighed, I didn’t have time for this. Alpha Tauren was already on his way and my men were already on standby. I already planned to meet Alpha Tauren away from home and the only place that could be possible was the Banes club. I was just going to leave that morning without having to see my sister but I couldn’t stop myself from heading for her wing. I must have been delusional to think she would smile or laugh at me the way I saw and heard her la
EUDORA. “Run.Keep running. Don’t you dare look back. Run far away from here. I will guide you. I know you do not want me but I will lead you to where you are meant to be. Where you don’t have to feel threatened by anyone, a place where you don’t have to be ashamed of me. Run, Eudora. Run.”And I did. I ran blindly. I ran without any inhibitions. I ran with no destination in mind. I ran with fear in my heart, not knowing the second when all of my efforts to get away from here would be in vain. I ran with the thought that it was better to die running, best to die on these tracks than live the kind of life I had just a taste of but knew in that instant that it wasn’t the kind of life I wanted to live. The voice in my head telling me to run was one I recognized too well. I had first heard it the first time I was in danger of being taken by rogues. The same voice had told me the same thing; to run because I was in danger. It belonged to my wolf. It had to be her. The corny company
ALPHA REX. I’ve heard stories of the meeting hall in my pack and how it used to be before I took over. My earliest memories of it was when I was younger…way too young to be locked up like an animal at the time. I’d been a waddling toddler who knew nothing so being allowed in a place as important as that was a privilege I got from being a pup and also the future Alpha of the pack. The Alpha and Luna of the pack converged at the hall with other high-ranking members of the pack to discuss the important issues concerning the pack. Invited Alpha’s and guests from other packs were also received at that hall. There, they made and broke destinies with just words of mouth and writings of ink on pieces of papers. I destroyed it the moment I took over. It was one of their many legacies that I didn’t leave standing. I didn’t exactly bring the building down but I dispersed the high-ranking wolves and instilled fear in everyone of them. Some moved out of the pack while some were still around,
ALPHA REX.Every one of my muscles tensed. I watched the scene play out right in front of me yet I found it hard to believe this was really happening; that somehow, Alpha Tauren had outsmarted me. “Let go of me!” The Omega’s screams rang through the half-empty hall, the echo of it bouncing through the walls as she kept struggling with the men whose strength tripled hers.I swallowed…hard. My Jaw was locked so tight it hurt.Alpha Tauren looked straight at me, a satisfied look crossing his features no doubt at my shock that I failed to hide. It wasn’t that I failed to hide it, it just wasn’t easy to hide the feeling that my plans fell through because somehow, he found her before I did.Alpha Tauren raised his hand, a signal to his men to let the Omega go. They did, in a not so gentle way, pushing the girl to the ground so that she fell face first right at the foot of my seat. Slowly, she pushed herself off the ground and her eyes met mine. She was seized with fear that made her fr
EUDORA. It all started from the very moment Alpha Tauren stepped out of that car and I was brought face to face with the very reason I was escaping in the first place. It had been too late to run by then and before I knew it, I was bundled up into one of the cars. My screams threatened to bring the roof of the car down but the men didn’t care as they drove me to an unknown place.Every other thing happened quickly, too fast for my brain to comprehend all at once but one thing had my brain reeling with the same words over and over again. I almost died!I tasted death. It was literally at the tip of my tongue and it was the most unpleasant and painful thing ever. It was nothing compared to all the times I’ve been in danger. Dear Goddess, my heart was literally in my mouth! Alpha Rex had almost killed me and I would have been dead right now if it wasn’t for Zena suddenly coming out of nowhere to save my life. Once again, Zena came to my rescue. Looking at Alpha Rex, now in the pool
ALPHA REX♠️♠️♠️PAST“We can’t go on with the treatment.”The woman who locked me up in here has been frequenting my dungeon a lot these days. It has been like that since the last time I had that episode and she nursed me back to health.I still detested her but I couldn’t pretend a part of me was always excited for having her around. I also detested that part of me but it couldn’t be helped. Right now, she kept stealing glances at me as she conversed with the scientist. Since all the times she’s been here, I was heavily induced with anesthetics and unable to comprehend anything. It was awkward being in the right state of mind while she was there at that moment. She avoided me too, guilt too cloudy in her eyes to be mistaken for any other emotion. She knew how much I hated her and how I refused to say even a single word to her. If they knew I was listening to their conversation, they didn’t show it as they were engrossed in their conversation. Or maybe they just intended for me to
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
