THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL/RJ Cross
ALPHA HUGH:I grabbed my jacket and put it on after dropping the call from Autumn's link. She was with a man while taking care of my son? How could she do it? Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where are you going? Can’t you see there’s a lot of documents that need your attention? Plus there’s an incoming war where we might be involved. Hugh. I do understand that you wanted to see Gabby, but now is not the right time for that. It can wait.”“A war will never take place. I will do my best not to get involved.” It was an ongoing rift between the neighboring pack and mine. It started from Dad’s time and until now, it had never been solved. As the time went by, the conflict turned even worse. “There should never be a war. We cannot afford to lose innocent lives, Maddox.”“Right. I’m glad that you know it. Where are you again?”“Home.”“Home? Why? Did something happen to Gabby?” He rose from his seat and grabbed his coat, too. When it comes to my son, he will leave all the th

AUTUMN:I was expecting that it would take a long time before Hugh and Maddox arrived in the house since it was a long drive from the pack and here, but it only took an hour before they arrived. "Where is your man?" Hugh asked the moment he arrived. He was not listening. "I don't have a man. What the heck are you talking about? Why would I have a man? I did not slave myself in taking care of your son and asked someone to come here and do whatever you were imaging right now in your head." Seeing how he had reacted, I was certain he was imagining the worst. Could I slap him for once? I was not that kind of woman for crying out loud!"You said a man is sleeping in your room.""Yes, I did. He is currently in the living room. I wanted to drag him to the second floor to the guest house but he was too heavy. I also cleaned the blood on the floor. See the blood on my shirt? This came from the man. You can thank me later. You are welcome.""Blood? Is there a fight? Are you okay?" Hugh asked

AUTUMN:Hot tears rolled down from my eyes while glaring at Beta Maddox. I was the one who slapped him, but I was the one who was crying right now. My hands shook. “Are you done ruining my confidence? Are you happy, Maddox?”I never bothered to hide how much I hated him. Let him know that he was not the only one who did not like being paired with him.He faced me. There was an imprint of my hands on his cheeks. Good. I wanted to add another hand imprint on the other side of his cheeks. “Do you even think I like you even? I would rather die alone than being paired with you. Seeing you makes me sick, Maddox. Why are you even proud of yourself? Without your family's name, you are nothing. Without Hugh, you are nothing.” He did not know it, but I was there when his Dad told him to befriend the alpha. He added that having Hugh by his side would be beneficial for them and that Maddox would be able to use it when the right time comes. The right was when they both became an adult and b

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox growled at me while Cedric was watching our engagement. “You’re so sweet,” he commented. “Is this how you show your affections towards each other?”“We’re not sweet!” the beta and I said at the same time. I scoffed at him and he glared at me. The only thing that he was good at was glare at me. “I hate him,” I exclaimed. “I don’t care if you tell the alpha about our connection. I don’t care at all.”“You don’t care because you already told the alpha about it,” Maddox said. I did. What can you do right now, Maddox? No matter what you do, I will never tell you the truth. Overthink. Worry. That's what I wanted you to do. “Whoa. You two are different.”“We can never be the same, Cedric. I hate his guts. And I was glad we are no longer bound to each other.”“So you two rejected each other.”“We did and that was one of the best decisions I made in my entire life,” I commented. "You're not the only one," Maddox seconded.Cedric chuckled and flinched when he felt the

AUTUMN: Before I knew Beta Maddox's response, he suddenly kicked me out of his mind. He was territorial even if in his mind. “You have nothing to do with it,” he said. Cedric raised his eyebrows and stared at us while holding the kid's hand. “You’re still not yet done?” “About what?”“About your tiny argument?” he said, quoting the air when he uttered the word tiny. Fighting is bad. It’s not a good thing if the kid will be able to witness you fight.”Forcing a smile and showing that it was not true, I said, “We are not fighting. Why would we?”“Daddy said that only married couples fight.”“That’s not true. Friends also fight.” I remembered when the three of us had our pity fighters over some apple. I wanted the apple to be peeled. But the two did not want to. And in the end, the day of our supposed to be eventful picnic was ruined because I stormed out all because of that damned apple. “They fight and they become friends again,” Beta Maddox stated. Did we make up after that fi

AUTUMN:There were a lot of things I wanted to tell Beta Maddox. A lot of words which then again would only turn into something useless and a waste of my time.“You're giving too much energy you hate, " he commented.“I don't fucking care at all,” I said, and walked passed ahead of him until I reached the gate.I was right. It was not the alpha, but Eric, bringing another bouquet of flowers which I told him did not matter at all.He scratched his neck seeing me. “Hi?” he regretted not being sure at all.“Eric.”“Autumn…” he said with a longing expression on his face. As if we had been separated for a long time. “I missed you already.”Opening the gate, I let him in while the beta was watching my every move.‘Can you at least go farther away?’ I asked inside his mind. I did not know if he would answer me or not. As long as he knew that I did not appreciate his presence.‘Why would you drive me away?’ he responded inside my head. ‘We need privacy. It's like peeing, Beta Maddox. We w

AUTUMN:What the heck was wrong with Maddox? Was this because he wanted to punish me for how I talked to him this past few days or what? When I finally had someone who was brave enough to confess he liked me, he would start to ruin everything? "Why would you do that?""I'm just doing my job when the alpha is not here. I will be the head of this house. Do not think that there is some ulterior motive behind. There is not, Autumn.”There was not when he clearly showed that he was against me going on a date with Eric? My gaze shifted to Eric. He never loses his cool despite what the beta had said. How did his Dad raise him again? It was unlike men to be this calm and always smiling. Going out with Eric would be nice. It would be like breathing fresh air where I could not see him for a while.Eric smiled again, showing me his dimples. "It's fine, Autumn. I respect the beta's decision. I will just wait for the alpha until he gets here.""He won't be coming here. He has a lot of things to

AUTUMN:The three men continued to give me disapproving looks as if they were against my relationship with Eric. Wasn’t it funny? Nothing was going on between me and him, yet here they were, already showing their disapproval. Especially Maddox. I could see that he was not satisfied at all. Was he freaking jealous?Or maybe he was angry that I found someone as good looking as Eric?I mentally shook my head. He was the most difficult to read. He rarely spoke of his feelings, unlike when we were children. He was always vocal when he was around me while Hugh was the serious type. “My first mate does not want me, so it’s fine,” I announced. Little by little, it seemed as if my wolf had started to accept the pain of the rejection. Did the pain disappear? It did not, but it was slowly disappearing. I was hopeful that one day…it will fade away. And when that happens, I will stick my tongue at Maddox. “What about your second chance mate?” Cedric pressed.This was acting as if we were al

BETA MADDOX:Cedric was staring at me as if I had grown horns. "What?" I asked, when I could no longer take how he would occasionally glance at me. His stares were becoming annoying. “I am not saying anything, Beta Maddox.”That was the point. He was not saying anything, but his stares were all. He wanted me to do something about Eric and Autumn. What was there to do when I already rejected her? There was no going back.Gabby was napping beside him and told us to awaken us when Autumn brought the snacks. "I don't like how you keep on looking at me, Cedric. Move your eyes away or I will pluck them out."He held his hand in the air as a sign of surrender. “I just wanted to ask, that's all. I’m only curious.”There was nothing new to that. They would always be curious, something that I had to deal with after rejecting Autumn. Everything came with a price. And this time, 8t was already expensive, causing me peace. As long as Autumn and I will be sharing this house, there will always be

AUTUMN :It was so fast that I was not able to react. One moment Eric was saying that I was his mate and the next thing, his back slammed on the wall. Hard. He flicked in pain. My mouth slacked. "What the..."A growl snatched my attention away. Beta Maddox. If looks could kill, Eric and I would be dead by bow. The way he stared felt like I betrayed him where in fact he was the one to betray me. “Beta Maddox? What the heck are you doing!” I cried out. “Eric? Are you okay?” I asked while internally panicking. I could feel the beta’s beast rising. Gold flashed in his eyes. “Whatever’s in your mind right now, don’t do it, Beta Maddox. Eric is innocent! He is not doing anything wrong!”The beta was no longer listening. Beta Maddox seemed like he had planned on killing Eric. He closed the distance between the two...pulled him up, and was about to swing his fist towards Eric, but put myself in the middle before he could land his punch.Damn it! Why did I have to pretend as if I was so
