The Alpha's Caregiver 69–For Every Hunter.
ALPHA REX “Fine! I know only what I have been told, okay? I do not trust Tauren or this rogue of his yet unless I am going to get something out of it.” He finally confessed.“Now we’re getting somewhere. And what is it that you know?” He hesitated for a second, “Are you going to leave?”“As soon as I get what I want. I do not want to keep you away from the business that awaits you.” He sighed as if caught up in a corner. He was counting on his games going well and my presence meant the opposite of that could happen. “Tauren came to me a few days after his mate’s funeral and he told me about this…this project. At first, I thought him stupid to believe the words of a rogue but he’s a sly old fox, he had plans of his own in case things went south and so it didn't matter to me.”He paused only to continue a second later , “I only met the rogue recently…he had come here in search of an Omega.”“Wait.” I stopped him, “When?”Alpha Raule’s brows furrowed, “I do not remember clearly but
The Alpha's Caregiver 70–Not without her.
ALPHA REX. Nothing ever comes easy. I would know that because that was everything my whole life embodied and so I didn’t expect winning Eudora back to come easy. Not when a game like this was designed to break girls like her till they were without repair. What I didn’t expect was the list of players who chose her to rack up to the point where I’d have to be in a battle with— “Ten hunters?” Raule announced, taking the words right out of my mouth. “Wow, ten hunters have chosen the number 7 as their prey, how…competitive.” He continued. There were murmurs in the crowd and my eyes swept over them and the looks of excitement that crossed their eyes because of the prospect of the game being a deadly one now that eleven players including me, have their eyes fixed on the same prey. My fist clenched to the side and afraid that I might throw it in someone’s face, I dragged Raule to the side before he could go further with his announcement. Anger was boiling inside of me but I fought the urge
The Alpha's Caregiver 71–Doomed if I don’t, damned if I do.
EUDORA.There were ten of them. Ten sadistic males—including Alpha Rex—who have chosen to hunt me down yet only one of them will turn out victorious after he has successfully captured me. Captured me…how sick. Bile travelled from my stomach, making a stop at my throat where it took all my willpower not to let it loose and draw even bigger attention to myself. My heart was beating madly against the barricade that was my chest, threatening to break through it. My world kept spinning around me, making me dizzy and aiding the bile lodged in my throat. Any moment now and I would make a mess all over the floor of the arena. The selection continued. It continued like they didn’t just place a death sentence over me. More males made their pick from the other Omegas while the spectators placed their best bets on who would make it back alive, who would be captured and by whom, who would die…dear goddess, it was a sick scene that had me holding on to myself dearly because that was the only t
The Alpha's Caregiver 72–To survive together.
EUDORA.When my legs were too weak to carry on, I fell to the ground beside a tree, my chest heaving and my heart squeezing tightly inside of it. My breath came out in short pants and the more I drew in, the harder it was for me to breathe properly.My face was no doubt tear stained and I’d only managed to stop crying after giving myself a pep talk that Laila was strong and she was fine. She was going to escape the hunter. She was going to survive this terror. Every second that passed with me in these woods however threatened those reassuring thoughts especially because with every step I took, came the cries of women in pain within a mile radius. Each sound made me wince while I will my brain not to conjure up the horrifying things being done to them that could cause so much pain. Tuning out the echoes wasn’t working. There was only so much my ears could ignore and so I sat there and just listened to the cries of innocent girls till I was able to catch my breath so I could continue m
The Alpha's Caregiver 73–Her Innocence.
EUDORA Either she didn’t realize it or she chose to keep it away from me, Laila didn’t show signs of pain till we were a safe distance away from the hunters. She was limping and it was what made me stop running coupled with the pained wince every now and then that I just couldn’t ignore anymore. “What are you doing? We can’t stop now.” She tried to hold my hand again so we can keep going but I crouched instead. She tried to shift away from me but I gripped her thigh to stop her. “What are you doing?” She yelled.I was hoping I was wrong, that it was just a limp from a bruised knee or chipped nail from falling over and over again in this dark woods but the blood dripping down and the glaring bullet wound on her left leg confirmed my fears. “You got shot.” I said, more to myself than to her. I looked up at her. “You got shot.” I repeated. Laila’s face twisted in pain, and I was just noticing the sweat of perspiration gathered on her forehead. She was in pain.I thought we escaped
The Alpha's Caregiver 74-Too late to save her.
CHAPTER 73–EUDORAMy very first instinct was to protect Laila who was already on the floor crawling back in fear as she watched me being dragged around by the hunter. Tears spilled out of her eyes and she seemed to pull herself together and attempted to move towards me.“Stay back!” I yelled at her and she stopped abruptly. I winced in pain as the long fingers of my captor dug into my arm.“Don’t come, Laila, you’ll get hurt. Go!” I yelled at her, ignoring the pain searing through me. Keeping my own tears at bay.“How touching.” The hunter said gruffly, his voice and words no doubt mocking how helpless we both were. Laila shook her head stubbornly, limping towards me while I tried to back up.The hunter suddenly pulled out his gun, aiming at Laila. “You heard her little one, scram out of here or I’m gonna shoot. Trust me, I know how to make a death seem like an accident.” The hunter threatened.“No…no…please.” I begged, “Please don’t shoot her.” The tears fell down my face now, I
The Alpha's Caregiver 75–Never be the same again.
(forgive me if the details of this chapter are a little to disturbing) ALPHA REX. “Please…please, stop .” Her cries were incessant. I was still on the same spot, rigid as if I'd grown deep roots like every other tree in these woods. However, my heart was the complete opposite as it was very much beating ferociously. My brain was just the same, registering bleakly the pain caused by digging my fingers into my palm but mainly focusing on how much time I had left before I threw the sicko off Eudora.Thirty seconds left. I recounted.“Oh, pipe down you whiny bitch! Is it because you haven’t gone into heat yet? Should I do that? Should I make you an even easier prey for the rest of the men?” He slapped her face to the side, harshly.Twenty-six seconds.She struggled with him as he finally got to pull down his pants, preparing to take her. I couldn’t tear my eyes away even if I wanted to, knowing that by the time the countdown was over, I’d be dragging him by the balls off of her.He r
The Alpha's Caregiver 76–A broken Omega.
EUDORA.For days after that, I drowned in one nightmare after another. And that was even the times I could close my eyes to sleep because the poor things have endured so much pain from the heaviness of being kept open for too long. But there was barely any difference being awake or asleep made because I still heard those screams. They still echoed in my head. Made it feel like a dark empty room, bouncing off its walls because there was no way out—not a door, not a window. Just a room. I still felt those hands too. They caused a Squeamish feeling to wash over me each time I thought of them and the places they’ve been on my body. I’d wash and wash and wash myself till the sponge bruised my skin and the soap caused it to sting but even that didn’t make the feeling of filth go away. I felt like dirt each time I remembered how I almost got claimed against my will. And I still saw her. Laila.Lifeless in every single image that crossed my mind.I hated it. I hated that it was the image

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

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
