All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh stared at me for a few seconds before he answered me, “I’m not jealous or anything.”Yeah. Why would he get jealous? “Oh. Really? So why do you always ask questions about Eric and the beta? If that meant nothing to you? Only a man who is jealous would do such a thing, Alpha Hugh.”His cheeks flamed. Because of anger or embarrassment? More like the former. Disappointment flashed inside my heart. I already knew that he did not feel anything about me, but maybe…I was expecting that he could give me more than I could ever ask. That he would like me even for a little. That he could…I spare me a glance?Alpha Hugh sauntered towards the couch, sat and pointed at the opposite couch. Folding my arms in front of my chest, I said, “I don’t think there’s a need for this. Aren’t we done talking, Alpha Hugh? I have a lot of things to do right now and…” my words were suddenly thrown out of the window when he suddenly rose, moved and sat beside me.My heartbeat quickened. He s

AUTUMN:Alpha Hugh and Eric looked at me as if I had grown horns. Then the two stared at each other. "You're not the only one who is busy, Eric. I am too because I have a job. I take care of the kid. So if you want someone who could amuse you, I'm not the one for that. There are other women out there who could do the job well."This man would only flirt, lie, or joke just to get in my pants. Or who knows? Maybe he was different from the other men who were only good at playing a woman’s heart. "I'm not looking for a fling. I’m looking for someone who would return the same love I feel for someone. One glance at you and I know it was you, Autumn."What a sweet talker and women fell for that one? Cheap. Did he think I was that stupid?I was about to respond when the alpha opened his mouth and said, "Autumn is also not looking for a fling, Eric. She’s focused on her job because she has a goal in her mind. Getting in a relationship with someone is not part of that."Really? Now I have a

AUTUMN:A date, huh. Was Eric certain of inviting me to a date? I never experienced one. All I had were dates with my cleaning materials. I was secretly jealous of women in my pack who would casually buy dresses and make themselves even more gorgeous on their date. They would get excited and even asked me to clean their room after creating a mess. When I watched them in the mirror in awe, I realized I wanted to experience that, too. With my mate. My world and my dreams fell apart when Beta Maddox rejected me. The reality that no one would want to be with a cursed one slapped me. Hard.And here came Eric. There was someone who wanted to date me despite my social status. Someone who made me recall those dreams I had in the past. "Why would you ask me for a date?" I asked, wanting to clarify it. “There is nothing worthwhile in me. I’m boring to talk to. I am always straightforward. I’m not like the other women out there who would laugh at your corny jokes. I never put any makeup o

ALPHA HUGH:“You will create a hole on the floor, Alpha Hugh,” Maddox commented. We were already inside the office after I walked Eric to the gate. Gabriel was being taken care of by Autumn. A couple of hours had passed, but my anger had not even subsided. I needed an outlet. Something that would make this anger disappear. Right. I will run later. “Are you perhaps bothered by that man?”I stopped pacing and barked, “Who?”“Eric. You seemed on edge after you had a talk with him.”How about you? Are you not bothered at all? I stared at him, checked for his reaction, and found that he did not feel any sense of jealousy despite Autumn being his mate. Were they mates? Or not. He seemed unaffected by Eric’s presence. Maybe Maddox was the type who could control himself. How pathetic I could be when it comes to self-control? I am an alpha. Self-control should be easy like that. I had not told him that I already knew. He sure did know how to act and pretend as if he did not feel anythi

AUTUMN:My heart hammered against my chest. I wanted to go to my room and grab some knives. If things get worse, at least I have something to defend myself. But it would only be a waste of time. With calculated steps, I went downstairs, tiptoeing. Was I stupid for walking downstairs like this without any weapon in my hand? Yes, I was. I should lock the door and wait until the thief steals everything. This was not my house. I did not care anything about the objects inside. Besides, the alpha was already filthy rich. He could buy and replace anything that would be stolen. But my life? It will never be replaced. There was only one foolish Autumn who died from fighting off the thief whom she did not know if she could handle or not. But no. I had to play a hero for the kid and go after the culprit.I might die because of this. But at least, I will die of a noble death. What will you do if you're already six feet below the ground?Dang.I never dreamed of dying and becoming a hero.
