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
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
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
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
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
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
(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
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
