THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL [18]
AUTUMN:Beta Maddox personally chose the dress for me. Those words had been ringing non stop in my mind for a couple of minutes until I was able to give him a reply. Yes. It took me longer than that. “But you did not give it to me? I mean…you did not buy it for me? You did not spend your money on this dress?”It was only a dress, Autumn. Why can’t you let it go?It might only be a dress, but it meant a lot if that person had given it out of good will. That he had given it because he wanted to. And that no one was forcing him, too. After my family's death, I had been living alone, trying to survive even if I did not deserve to live. And this dress…I was already getting emotional. Damn it. Beta Maddox averted his gaze for a couple of minutes, before he said, “The owner said that I could not divulge the identity of him. He wanted it to remain that way.”Cannot? Or he did not want to?“Whatever. Save it to yourself. I don't care about it, anyway. I only wanted to know if it was real

AUTUMN:Like a child, Sabrina stomped her foot and held her ground, refusing to listen to the beta. “She’s the one who started it! She wants to take you away from me! This bitch. I don't know how she remained alive after what she did to her family. She does not deserve to live!”My inside shook upon hearing my family on his lips. I clenched my fist and tried to stop myself from slapping her. How dare she mention my family with her mouth. Although she was also right. I did not deserve to live after everything. “Sabrina. That's not something that you would say in public,” the beta warned.The woman slapped his hands away. Now, we finally grabbed almost everyone’s attention. I just wanted to disappear. A slave fighting with a free she-wolf, especially the woman of the second most powerful person in the pack, was not something that would be taken lightly. I could be punished for this or may attract a lot of enemies.Damn it. Talking about my family was not something I took lightly.

AUTUMN:“It was the beta who wanted this party,” Alpha Hugh insisted. A lie.There was no way he was telling the truth. Why would he when he was facing an omega? An omega who was his mate?Men were full of lies and I hated how I was seeing one. They lie just to get what they want. And right now, even if I could not explain it, I could feel that the alpha was lying straight at my face.“Oh, please, Alpha Hugh. You don’t have to tell me that shit. I also don’t care if you were the one behind this party or not. That’s not what I wanted from you. I want your rejection. I wanted to be free from you and from any man that ever existed.” “I’m not lying to you, Autumn. It was the beta.”“Oh, please. What a load of crap. You enjoyed your time with that woman. You went out with her.”“I did, but I….” He stopped, and after realizing something, shook his head. “Never mind. Your face tells me you will not believe anything I said. Jealousy is written all over your face, Autumn.” He smirked.“I’m

AUTUMN:The difference between the beta and the alpha? They were both clear on what they wanted. The alpha was clear that he wanted me for whatever purposes he had. The beta made sure that I was not the one he needed since he was already betrothed to someone else. What if I told them that both of them were my mates and that the Moon Goddess played a sick prank on the three of us?But one thing was for sure. In the end, Alpha Hugh would only keep me in the pack. Never rejecting me. At least not for now. He would only hide the fact that we were mates to his pack.The beta and both the alpha did not want everyone to know about me. “Are we clear, Autumn?” he growled, when all I did was stare at him. “If I saw you with any man, I would kill you both. I don’t share what’s mine.”His breath fanned against my cheeks, inhaling the smell of the cigarettes on his mouth. His voice seemed like he meant it.“And why would you do that, Alpha Hugh? Why would you kill someone? You did not even lov

AUTUMN:It seemed like the devil was after my life.The incessant knocking on the door was enough to awaken the whole neighborhood. Groaning, I turned to my side while grabbing a pillow and used it to cover my ears. But my sensitive healing was not helping at all. The loud banging continued. It did not help to make my headache disappear. It felt like my head was going to split open.Images of what happened last night resurfaced. The alpha. “You looked gorgeous tonight and the dress fits you well.”Did he think he could sway me with those words? He could not. I wished he would just reject me. At least the beta did. “Open up!”Someone was shouting outside the door, telling me to open it.Forcing my eyes to open once again, the dirty ceiling of my room glared at me. Which reminded me that my room needed some cleaning too. “Open up!” he shouted for the nth time. “You will be punished for not responding!”Punish. Ah, right. They did not know that I was their future Luna. If they did

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox glared at me and if looks could kill, I would be dead by now. It seemed like he was not used to this kind of treatment coming from his subordinates. Too bad. After rejecting me, all my respect towards him was all thrown out the window. Respect begets respect. Lifting my hands, I said, “Okay, okay. I’m just teasing you. You will never feel any envy. You don’t have any feelings for me, that’s why you rejected me right away, Beta Maddox. No hard feelings. Of course you will always choose someone who would benefit you and that’s Sabrina. I got that.”I did not. He was an asshole. “You never tease an alpha or a beta,” he responded with a cold voice. “Know your place, slave.”Slave. What a nice endearment. “Geez. Fine. I was only trying to lighten the mood after what you did to the poor guard. You scared me right there. Imagine if you happened to kill him right in front of my room. Then his soul would keep on lingering here scaring the heck out of me.”I pretended

AUTUMN:Beta Maddox. I did not know what his deal was, but I definitely did not like how he was always emotional when it comes to whatever I say and do.Everything I say, there was always a reaction coming from him. As if he made it his mission to contradict everything that I said. All because I was his ex-mate? Or did he hate me that much?“You fucked someone?” the alpha asked, almost growling. I gave him a half shrug, trying to be indifferent. “Yeah. So what? You're not the only one who has secual needs. I need to do something about it. I have, too.”“Watch your mouth!” the beta snarled.Alpha Hugh stared at me hard as if he was trying to decipher if I was telling the truth or not. If he believed, good. There was no way I would tell him that I slept late because of what he said before we parted ways. It was embarrassing and unnecessary. I could not believe that I was affected by those damn words. “I'm just telling the truth. The alpha wanted the truth from my mouth and I gave

AUTUMN:I sucked a deep breath and faced Alpha Hugh. Was he for real? Was he serious? If he was, he was one scary man. “If you will only kill him, I would rather keep my mouth shut, Alpha Hugh.” I made a mental note to choose my words carefully as it would either endanger the person. “There is no way someone’s life will be at risk because of me.”‘That’s what you get for lying,’ Trisha commented. I bit my lower lip. “A name,” he said in a controlled voice. “If you keep on protecting that bastard, he is not the only one who will be punished. That includes you as well. My beast will not be able to save you if I toss you in the dungeon and put you there for a week.”A week? That was too much.“Now, give me a name, Autumn. If I were you, I would no longer protect him.”Perhaps taunting the alpha was not even a good idea at all. “I won’t give you one.”“And why is that?”“How could I when that man did not even exist?”“Are you messing up with me?” he growled. “Don’t you test my patie

AUTUMN:I chuckled softly to lessen the heavy feeling in the surroundings. "Who said Daddy and I are getting married?" Images of Hugh and I walking down the aisle resurfaced in my mind, bringing a smile to my face. Why not?Wasn’t marriage to be the last goal with this man? Maddox folded his arms in front of his chest while eyeing me. It looked like he was mad at me or something like that. Hugh, on the other hand, popped his eyes open and looked around.Good because I definitely wanted someone to help me right now."Uncle Cedric said so, Miss Autumn.” The child shrugged off his shoulders. "I don't know, Miss Autumn. I will ask him next time. Is it true, Miss Autumn?"Cedric? That man again. What was running on his mind when he said the alpha and I would get married? If my groom would be Hugh, the idea of getting married was no longer scary. “Why would he say that? You must not believe everything that he was going to say. Do you understand?”“Why, Miss Autumn?”“People lie somet

AUTUMN:"Autumn?" Hugh asked as if he was going to die from happiness. It looked like he was going to jump out of sheer happiness. Real happiness. I chuckled nervously. "Y-yes? What is it, Hugh?"Trisha giggled, loving how the event turned properly. She approved how I finally became true to myself and accepted this man. Perhaps this was the right time. Perhaps…I should now accept his love and see if we were meant to be each other or not. I will never know if I will not try. Hugh…this man was worth it, right? Was he worth the pain? Still…Why did I say that I loved him, too? I must have been sleepy at that time. Was it too soon to say it?‘What the…you're out of your mind. The alpha had been waiting for you for almost six months.”Was it six months? No. It was not six months. It was shorter than that. But…love could not be measured by time. If that was the case, I wondered what would be measured by love? How will we know if we already loved that person? How will we know if he was

AUTUMN:When I shifted my gaze to the woman, I found her leaning toward Eric and was already sleeping at his side.She looked like an innocent doll beside him. She looked so fragile that their protective instinct resurfaced. Maybe that was also the reason why Eric chose this woman over me. The need to protect this woman was the strongest. They deserved each other and it was only time that their paths would cross. I felt sorry for her.Until now, there were bruises all over her body.Whoever did this to her deserved to die over and over again. Men who hurt women were the worst. I wanted them to suffer until the last breath. "That settled it then. We need to inform Cedric about this new arrangement," Maddox stated. “This will not be permanent. Until we know the person behind this. However, Eric. If you believe you can handle the risk, you can have her as long as she will come with you.”"Cedric already knows as of the moment," Hugh informed. “I told him over the mind link.”That fas
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |153|
AUTUMN:"Yes. May I know who she is?" I asked, seconding Maddox. No one wanted to answer. Hugh was glaring at me. Probably because he was mad that I only arrived now and Eric. He could not really meet my gaze. Maybe because he was guilty that once in his life, he was sure that he was going to take me as his mate, but now? He suddenly changed his tone. Was I hurting for his change of heart?No.It was more like the feeling of betrayal. Like how could he claim he was sure of me and then changed the next time?"Eric? Why? Are you guilty that you suddenly lose your tongue?”“Autumn …” he started but there were no words in his mouth to add. He looked so guilty. He should be. “I do not believe that the woman is not important; I don't think you will come here at this hour, wait for us until we get home and let us think that this is an ordinary scene."What I was curious about was why they did not let the woman retire for the night? Or let her go? Or whatever was needed to make her have
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |152|
AUTUMN:My eyes widened. What the heck?This was the reason why he was mad? Sabrina was calling off the wedding? And Maddox allowed her? Why? I grabbed the coffee and forgot that it was hot. My tongue burned. But it was not enough to recover me from shock. "Oh, shit," I muttered out loud. "That's totally unexpected. Why would your beloved Sabrina let you go? You're a big fish under the sea, Maddox." “I may be a big fish, but there are other bigger fishes than me,” he responded, trying to act cool. Was he in pain right now? Or was it his ego that was in pain? “You mean… Does she like someone else? There are far better looking men than you on her standard? I thought you're the only one in her heart?”But nevertheless, a certain part of me was happy that they will not pursue the marriage. Not because I want to be the bride-to-be but because Maddox did not deserve that woman.Maddox laughed, and it was weird. I flinched. He rarely laughed. He was always serious unlike Hugh who was
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |151|
AUTUMN:It took me a couple of minutes before I got over Maddox's statement. He was already near the entrance of the restaurant as if he was the owner himself. He strode with so much confidence. Until now, his words kept ringing in my head.Me flirting with him? How could I talk to him? Opening a conversation? Forgetting the past and moving on could be flirting?Since when did I do that? That was such a serious statement that I could not let it pass.I stepped out of the car, and ran after him as fast as I could—chasing him. The need to correct him persisted and I will not stand still without talking to him. The security guard opened the door right away when the beta entered. The atmosphere inside the restaurant suddenly shifted when he entered.A beta had entered. Maybe that was what was running in their mind right now. All werewolves would identify him right away. The hostess bowed and smiled at him. From the scent they gave off, most of them werewolves from the neighboring
THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL |150|
AUTUMN:I was occasionally glancing at Beta Maddox from the rearview mirror. The tense atmosphere inside the car told me that he was not in the mood for any kind of conversation.The beta was not in the mood. The car was filled with nothing but silence.After he reached out using our mind link, he told me that he was going back to the mansion even if we will get there late at night. I was about to say that I will eat first, but sensing that he was not in the mood to hear anything, I kept my mouth shut.So here I was, in the rear passenger seat, occasionally watching him from the mirror.His hands held the steering wheel as if he was choking someone else. I badly wanted to know the unlucky person who got on his bad side. It was not me, right? I never accepted Alpha Dimitri’s invitation saying we could do it next time. When we have a lot of time.The alpha wanted to ask for my number, but told him I was not using any phone. I did not have one.To my surprise, he gave me his spare phone

BETA MADDOX:My gaze darted at Sabrina’s bare neck, not marred by any marks.Lifting my gaze, Sabrina and I had a staring contest. “Did you hear what I said, Maddox? I will not call off the wedding if you will give me the mark that I deserve. We both promised each other. We promised that we will choose each other regardless of what will happen. Give me my mark.”A mark that would ward off any males. A mark that was a silent sign that this woman was mine and no one would take her away from me. When we both chose each other, she demanded right away that I should make her. However, I kept on delaying it everytime.So it reached this point.A mark in exchange for marrying me.Extend your fangs and mark her, the other part of my mind said. Except that it was not that easy. My wolf refused to do it. It was set on choosing Autumn as its mate. No one else. Not even this beautiful woman in front of me. No matter how much I begged my wolf to mark Sabrina, it will never cooperate. According

BETA MADDOX:I was seated on the chair, while eyeing my fiancee on the table, scanning the photo album in front of her— our prenup photos. It was already a week since it arrived, but because I was sick that time, we were not able to look at it together. After the rehearsal, Sabrina informed me she would come inside my room and we would watch the photo album together. “Aw…you were so handsome with all these pictures, Maddox.” She grabbed her phone and took a picture of it. “Done. I will be sending this to my family's group chat and they will be envious of me.”A group chat with all her family. Where she openly bullied Autumn. The woman could not even defend herself against them.“You don't have to do that.”She clicked her tongue together and said, “Nonsense. We do a lot of this prenup and we will only make use of this if they will get jealous of me.”“You don't have to do that.”“No way! This is my wedding and I wanted them to be jealous. I will be the talk of the town, Maddox that
