All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

AUTUMN:Eric suddenly grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. “You’re giving me a chance, Autumn?” he asked. His eyes seemed like they were twinkling with hope. Guilt washed over my chest. Why did I say those words when they were not even true? How could I…hurt this man?‘You don't know what you’re talking about,’ Beta Maddox suddenly said inside my head. ‘I know what I am talking about,’ I replied using the same mind link. ‘I am sure with Eric. He is better than you and my second chance mate.’‘Better?’ he mocked inside my head. ‘You don’t know for sure.’‘How could you be so full of yourself, Beta Maddox? Do you think you’re the only man? Mate or not, I will accept anyone who showed their true feelings to me. Someone who will never reject me. Don’t you dare question my decisions.’‘I am not,’ he denied. ‘You cannot stop me, Beta Maddox.’‘I am not stopping you or anything like that. I am reminding you that not everyone who showed some intentions is true.’Who did he think he was?

AUTUMN:Sabrina would always react no matter what I do. Or no matter what others would say about me. Especially what Eric confessed.Who was the one who made her enter this house? Why did she have to ruin everything?When she controlled herself, she slapped Beta Maddox's side. "Love? Mates? You're taking her as your mate? Are you delusional? Are you stupid or what, Eric?" she asked, in disbelief. “Come on. You can do better than that. You can look for someone else who is way better than her.”Ah, right. This was Sabrina for you. She loved how to belittle people. Not being able to see her for a couple of days did not mean I should not forget what kind of person she was. Eric looked at her with a confused expression. “I don’t get what you mean, Miss Sabrina.”I clenched my fist. Could I slap her for once? She's not really helping at all. She was the type of person who only wanted herself to be the center of attraction. But in this house, she wanted the full attention. Not just the h

AUTUMN:I don't understand what I should be feeling right now. Would I be hurt at Eric's lies or would I be disappointed that he was lying to me. “Autumn…”I did not know, but I was expecting a lot from him and to think that I was all praises for him. I thought he was way different from the men that surrounded me. In the end, it was a bad idea that I somewhat put my trust in him. “You lied to me?“ I asked for the second time when he did not say anything. “Did you have a good time lying to me? Was it fun when I believed your lies, Eric?” I spat. I clenched my fist. How could I be this stupid?Cedric’s eyes shifted to me and Eric. The atmosphere inside the kitchen turned tense. “A-Alright. I think you need to have some private time, love bird,” Cedric said, and was about to exit when I opened my mouth. “I will act that I did not know anything or hear anything from you two.” He turned his back and was about to exit the kitchen, but I opened my mouth and said, “You can stay here,

AUTUMN:My body was on fire. Was I having a fever or not?I coughed when smoke suddenly entered my nose while my eyes burned.Opening my eyes, smoke was already in my room. Fire! Fire! My mouth went dry while my feet were rooted to the ground. The flame intensified even more as if it was angry. It swallowed all the things it wanted, until it became even scarier."Autumn, help!" The voice of a boy. "Autumn! Big sister!" I froze. That was my brother calling for help. Wasn't he already dead? The fire continued to eat the things inside the house and the cry for help became louder.Using the back of my hand, I covered my nose and tried to breath in as much fresh air as possible. The room became thick with smoke."Pluto!" I screamed at the top of my voice, calling for my brother. "Pluto! Where are you?""Autumn! Please help me!"Tears simmered from my eyes, as my need to run to his side continued. If at first I was not able to help him because I was only an eight-year-old back then, but

AUTUMN:“Do you want your Uncle Maddox to get married?” I asked. “Do you want him to marry Sabrina?”Dang it. Why was I asking about those questions? If Beta Maddox would hear about this, he would think that I was pathetic. That until now, I was waiting for him.I refused to be like that. Still…the beta was not here and it was not bad to get this boredom out of my system. The kid was willing to answer my questions, anyway. Why not seize the moment? Gabriel showed me his coloring materials and flipped the pages showing a colored green dinosaur. “As long as he is happy, Miss Autumn. I will be happy for them too. Except Daddy. I will be the one to approve of my next mommy.”I did not care about his next mommy. It would never be about me, anyway. “Are you happy that they will get married?” I asked. Don’t get me wrong. I was not jealous. I was only curious about it. “You liked the beta and I believe you are only after the beta’s happiness.”“If Uncle Maddox makes him happy, I am happy t
