CHAPTER 31–A wet mess. EUDORAI ran right into a wall-like figure while making my way back to my room in the dark and it made me lose my footing. I braced myself for impact, clenching my eyes shut as if it would reduce the pain that was going to come with my butt hitting the floor—hard but it never happened. A hand had shot out to grip me by the wrist to stop me from making a mess of myself on the floor. Instinctively, my free hand landed on the wide plane of his chest, gripping onto the thin material of his shirt to further steady myself while I stared into a pair of silver eyes that were at their brightest in the dark and lonely corridor. They made my breath lodge itself in my throat, making the first few seconds of impact with him hard for me to breathe or think straight. The Alpha. “You.” One word from his lips and I came right to my senses. I jerked away from him like he was hot coal and he burned me badly. The movement made me lose my footing again and this time, there w
CHAPTER 32–I was once like you.EUDORA. With slow and uncertain steps, I entered Lillian's room while she held me to herself. The old Gamma didn’t care that I was wet all over or that I could ruin her clothes. Even though I was cold from the rain that had mercilessly beaten me, her kind heart provided momentary warmth. It took my mind off Alpha Rex and everything else that has plagued me. I knew that those things weren’t easily forgettable, they would haunt me the moment I’m no longer in Lillian’s warm space but I lived for little moments like this and wanted them to happen often. If I could have at least five minutes of warmth in a day, I’d use the seconds found in each minute to fill up the rest of that day if it turns out cold and terrifying. Especially if it turns out cold. Ten seconds for when I come in contact with Alpha Rex and he seethes at me. Five seconds for when I sit at the table to eat with them. Ten seconds for when I am alone in my room. Lonely. Afraid for my fut
CHAPTER 33–Just one more week. ALPHA REXThe news of my appearance at the Banes Club spread like wildfire across the pack. Along with it was rumors of the presence of an Omega in the pack, the first in the last six years since I took over the pack. The rumor wasn’t anything I could avoid, unless I’d acted like myself and silenced everyone who had been present at the club. The rumors would only remain a rumor as no one could confront me. I didn’t think it wise to get more blood on my hands because of an Omega. It would be reckless to ruin the peace of my pack just because of her. More so, I would be getting rid of her soon. If there was any blood I’d be getting on my hands, it would be hers and if I didn’t have any justification to kill her before other than for being one of the species I hated the most because of the effect they had on me, I had one now. She knew too much already just by breaking my rules and going out of the house with Zena. About our parents. The Omega would be
CHAPTER 34–Grounded!EUDORAAsk him, she said! He won’t turn down a polite request, she said! The Alpha is just…a little different from others when it comes to expressing his feelings, she said! Why had I let Lillian push me into this?He’s different alright. Every other person, notably my bullies has said pricking me with a needle would cause me to deflate and float in the air like a balloon but Alpha Rex would be the first person to think flattening me into a book would be better. And what’s worse? I believed it because I knew it wasn’t just any threat. I have seen firsthand what the Alpha was like(well his alter ego as Lillian barely explained but it doesn’t change anything). I’ve seen what he was capable of doing and I wanted no part of it. I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, making sure to hear the usual bang of the door to his room before I slowly raised my head to return back to the table where I’d been eating. I already lost my appetite but I also knew better tha
CHAPTER 35–The woman in his dreams. ALPHA REX♣️♣️♣️PASTMy breathing was ragged. Each breath that left my mouth and nostrils was shallow. My chest heaved and added to the difficulty in breathing. I was going to die. That was the only thought that ran through my mind. How did it come to this? Mere seconds ago I was strapped to my bed the way I’ve always been since I was locked up in here save for the times when the damned scientist brings the weird little Omega in here and asks me to play with her while I’m locked in the giant cage. The usual safety precaution because he knew what I was capable of doing to the Omega. He’s been bringing her here of late. And even though I hate to admit it , her presence brings me some sort of comfort. I knew the comfort wouldn’t last. Not because of her but because of me. I already established the fact that she was a weakness for me, no doubt all Omegas like her would be. The comfort wouldn’t last because I was ready to wipe out all my weaknesses
EUDORA.I spent the next few days doing the same I have been doing as an unofficial member of the Angels and Banes pack. It was the usual rinse and repeat process for me. I’d wake up every morning, roll out of bed just so I could go get lashed out at the table because “My fear was making him lose his appetite.”, “Could I eat a little faster? My sluggishness was distracting.” and “I don’t have to sit around and pretend like I’m not done eating just so he could finish eating first and leave me alone at the table.” Alpha Rex was always grumpy but at least he didn’t shame my body. It was the only thing I was giving him credit for. Although he still scares me to no end, I’ve gotten used to that grumpy look on his face like he carried the weight of the whole world on his shoulders and it cost him his ability to smile. The only thing that has been different about waking up every morning in his home in the past few days is my determination to get through to his sister. After breakfast eve
EUDORAIt was Zena. Zena was the one who had opened the door to her room and she was staring down at me with an unimpressed look on her face. It took a few seconds for it to register. For my brain to actually process the fact that Zena, who has been locked in there since forever, opened the door to her room herself.“Ho—how?” I stuttered terribly looking from the door to her. Was I seeing things? Was this a dream? It was very much possible because I had been dozing off when the door suddenly opened. “H-ow…how did you…wow.” I couldn’t form any sane words. My mind was a mess that had happened like that because it was trying too hard to understand what was going on.“You know he’s going to kill you right?” Zena said calmly, like she didn’t just open a door locked from outside. I shook my head, breaking out of the trance and standing up to my feet instantly. I cared less for her brother and his threats of death at that moment. All I wanted to know was how she got the door to open if i
ALPHA REX.“It’s tomorrow.” Logan gave me a reminder like I didn’t wake up every single day counting the hours until it’s finally time to get rid of the Omega. “I know. Are the men ready?” I asked, playing with my glass of cheap whiskey—that was all I could get at the Banes club that has now become a second home to me. The ice cubes made up for its bland taste as I found them mesmerizing to look at with the whiskey forming little bubbles around them. “Yes, they will camp at the borders tonight.” I nodded, satisfied by Logan’s answer and relieved that everything was finally going to come to an end. All of my plans were falling into place. “They better not mess this up for me. They only attack tomorrow night when the old geezer leaves the pack with the Omega.” I said to Logan, who nodded dutifully at my command. I’d had enough of forcing the shitty drink down my throat and so I set the glass down, shifting it away from me. I couldn’t wait till all of these ended and things went b
