ALPHA REX I stood still in Eudora’s room, looking around like the answer to the questions in my mind would be found somewhere in the corners of her room. I really needed to know why she has reacted to me that way when she has never done that before. Wasn’t she in my bed just a few nights ago? Yes, that was probably a mistake on my part but she had woken up on that same bed with me and asides coming to the realization that we’d shared the same bed, there was nothing unusual about her. Was it the nightmare? Leticia stepped into the room with me. The painting was almost done and she had only two days left before she returned to her pack. Since the last time I told her about what had happened at the MoonBorn pack, things have been a little awkward and I didn’t know for which one of us or why exactly things turned out that way. “What happened?” She asked after allowing me a brief moment of reflection on what had just happened. “You saw it.” I said, matter-of-factly, facing her. She s
LEUDORA. Alpha Rex stared at me like I had grown two heads. Something flickered in his eyes but it was gone faster than I could tell what exactly it was. Maybe it was shock, shock that comes from the fact that just like I had asked to stay a few days ago, I was asking to leave now, only this time, I wasn’t on my knees, I didn’t have to be. I didn’t have to beg to leave just like I had begged to stay because it was easier now. After all, he never really wanted me around and taking care of him was a part of earning my pay which was having a roof over my head and having food to eat. “Do you know what you’re talking about?” Alpha Rex asked after a stretched moment of silence. I looked over my shoulder to be sure Zena was still there. I felt her presence now more than ever and it made me turn back to look at Alpha Rex.“Yes. Yes, I do.” My voice was just as I and Zena had rehearsed a few minutes before we came back in here. Keep it strong. She’d said. Don’t stutter. Once you do, he wo
ALPHA REX. PAST♣️♣️♣️My first day at the pack’s kindergarten was such a memorable one that as soon as I got back, I went to my room and laid all my bed, sulking all day. My mother got back from Luna business that day and I heard as she asked everyone around the house about me until she came looking for me herself in my room. The moment I heard her come in, I pulled my duvet over my entire small frame as if to hide for her but my reaction was so funny to her that she chuckled.I didn’t plan on being funny. I wanted to come off as pissed. She came to sit on my bed and slowly pulled the duvet off me. Her silver eyes peered down at me, they were calm and “Rex, did you not like your first day at school?” She asked, playing with my hair. Some of my anger dissipated at her calm voice and soothing fingers. My mother was perfect.I shook my head to answer her. “You’ll have to use your words, young man. I can’t tell if that’s a no or a yes.” She said playfully. “No, I didn’t like it.” I
ALPHA REXI didn’t exactly plan on being caught eavesdropping and not in another Alphams home either since I am used to having my way, so I didn’t know how to react to their incredibly annoying faced son, looking ag me in a questionable manner. Conan was no doubt the same age as I was, two more inches and he’d be on an equal eye level with me. He didn’t have what it took to be intimidating even though that was the look he was aiming for. Probably because he didn’t spend half his life locked up in a dungeon with crazy doctors sticking needles into him every day.Instead, he probably spent most of his life being coddled by his parents. Probably sent to the best college out there and told he had an important role waiting for him as soon as his father becomes too old for him to keep ruling the pack.I knew people like him and I also knew how to deal with them. The look in his eyes told me he’d known I was eavesdropping on them before he had even seen me. Hard to hide an Alpha’s scent an
EUDORA.I do not regret returning to the Bluecoven pack. I do not have the sudden urge to return to the pack where I’ve spent most of the days being miserable. I do not regret coming back to the man who has rejected me. No, it wasn’t regret I felt. But I did feel something, and it started from the moment Alpha Rex turned his back on me and walked away. It got worse as I sat to eat dinner with Alpha Osolo and his family. It was just like old times, except this time it felt like a shadow was looming over us at the dinner table. I couldn’t even work out my appetite because even though it’s just as before, it doesn’t feel like it. I expected the awkwardness. I prepared myself for it because it was inevitable. I didn’t expect less from the reunion of a girl who was sent off to become a plaything for an Alpha and the people who perpetrated it. I felt like a stranger. I was watched like one. I could feel the gaze of Alpha Oslo and Luna Eleanor, hot on me. I could tell they were disappoint
EUDORA “I missed you, Eudora.” I heard it the first time but it had me stunned. Too stunned to say a word and so I stared blankly at him, just long enough for him to repeat it again. I wanted to believe Conan so badly. His eyes held so much sincerity that I was really willing to forget how he’d betrayed me and totally changed towards me after he rejected me but I couldn’t easily forget a part of my past that hurts so much, could I? I couldn't easily forget the starting point of my misery. “Why?” I asked quietly, maybe a little too foolish too because I didn’t know what sort of answer I was expecting when I asked him that. He seemed to be thrown off guard too as he searched for words to say. He sighed.“Don’t be like that, Eudora. I know you’re mad at me and I totally understand that. I was…” he paused and sighed again, “I was a jerk.” He confessed sincerely. “But you have to understand that I couldn’t do anything to stop my parents. All they wanted was the best for me and the pa
EUDORAMy best bet at handling a situation like this trying to act like whatever was happening wasn’t what it seemed like but I already missed the opportunity the moment I nervously tried to hide my bag, the one that he had already seen. I wet my dry lips and tried to speak but words failed me for a second. “Conan.” His name was the only thing that could leave my mouth and even at that, it came out a little shaky, giving away just how nervous I was. It didn’t help that his eyes were fixed on me, unmoving and unwavering like he was waiting for an excuse as to why I was up 4am in the morning with a bag slung over my shoulder and opening my door like I was ready to bolt out of the house any moment from then. It was strange that he was at my door that early too and I took the chance to make this about him and not me. “Conan, everything okay?” I asked nervously with an awkward laugh or something like it. “Everything was going good until now.” He said in a low voice. I couldn’t stop an
EUDORA.“Wha—what?” I stuttered. “Let me make you mine, Eudora. That way you won’t have to worry about anything anymore. You’ll be mine and mine alone.”I instantly understood what he meant and I felt a heavy lump in my throat from hearing those words. I backed away, holding myself in my arms as I suddenly felt jittery all over. My bruises started to itch too and one look at the closed door, I regretted not running out of it when I got the chance.I couldn’t believe Conan was trying to take advantage of me. “What’s so hard to believe about it? He almost did it once, remember?” My wolf gave me a reminder of what had happened and that she was still here, witnessing all that was going on between me and the man I used to like so much.Conan was right even though I wanted him to be so wrong. I would be safe once I was claimed. I wouldn’t be in danger of being forced into the arms of any other Alpha. It was the best way to finally find peace but how could I possibly find peace with Conan?
