CHAPTER 20–Keyword is “Kill” Eudora.Lillian pulled up from the floor and exited the room with me. I had my arms wrapped tightly around the old Gamma, putting most of my weight on her as my legs were too heavy to walk out of there on their own accord. Despite how heavy I no doubt was, Lillian didn’t complain, neither did she let me go till we were totally out of the room and back in the safety of mine. The moment she locked the door behind us, I let her go and fell to the ground heavily, gripping my chest as it heaved from a panic attack that was fast stealing my breath away from me. I wheezed and coughed. Tears streamed out of my eyes because of how hard it was to breathe. Death. It felt like it was finally ready to claim me and save me the misery that my life has become. I became aware of Lillian’s presence behind me. The old Gamma put a hand on my hunched over back, patting it lightly seeminly to help me overcome my plight. “Breathe, Eudora. Let yourself breathe.” She whispere

CHAPTER 22–I am the dinner. EUDORA.The rest of the week in the Angels and Banes pack was peaceful. Too peaceful for a pack said to be borne out of chaos and destruction and for someone like me whose life went to shit in a couple of days. I couldn’t say I enjoyed the peace and quiet when the world inside of my own head was a mess but I still reveled in the joy that the world outside of it wasn’t calling for the end of me.At least not yet. Since I remained in the designated room on the Alpha’s home, I had no reason to see him. It was almost as if he hasn’t decided on what to do with me after the traumatizing experience in his room the way he regained consciousness. I hoped to the goddess that he kept it that way. I didn’t know for how long but I just prayed I didn’t have to see him for as long as needed for me to recover from everything I’ve been through since I turned eighteen. Lillian was the only soul I set my eyes on after that day. She was the only soul I longed to see because

CHAPTER 24–A stickler for rules. EUDORAI wasn’t hungry when I approached the table to eat with Alpha Rex but I thought it was going to be easy to stuff my face with food and leave as soon as I could. Since I couldn't change anything else, I could at least reduce the time I had to spend around him. It didn’t go as planned. Not with the sibling war—one like no other—that I got swept up in and I couldn’t even bring myself to eat the food in front of me after that. The hatred between the both of them was sizzling. You could feel it in your bones and it could electrocute you if you got too close. It was beyond me how Lillian spoke so highly of Alpha Rex while his sister hated him to bits. When I asked Lillian because she was the only actual person willing to talk to me in the entire house, she didn’t give an answer. I couldn’t decide if it was because she really didn’t know or she wasn’t allowed to spill the tea. Either way, if my life was hell before, having to sit in the middle of tw

CHAPTER 26–The Banes 2 EUDORA.I have never been to a club and the very first time I did, I walked right into what seemed like a trap that had been set for me. The people here–whoever they were–had been waiting for me and Zena brought me right to them because I trusted her. We were in the middle of the club. I looked ahead to see the gyration of bodies against each other. Scents were mixed and would only leave you to recognize people by their faces. Alongside music, my ears were filled with familiar moans of pleasure mixed with grunts and the harshest of breaths. Everyone was too lost in the sensational sound of the music and the sensual club lights that changed every second to care about an Omega who’d walked into danger. “Beautiful, isn’t she?” The man ran his eyes over my body. The darkness in his iris made me feel small and dirty. It made me hold myself in my arms, my body barely able to contain the fear that was slowly having my heart in a chokehold.“Err…she is not exactly m

CHAPTER 28–One hurdle at a time. EUDORA. A piece of paper with some silly writing on it.It was all I was worth this time around. It was all it took for me to be tossed away again like I didn’t breathe the same air everyone else breathed. Like I wasn’t every hit as alive as them all. Zena betrayed me and left me to deal with dangerous men. The realization still caused a shuddering feeling to rock my spine at how stupid and naive I was. Stupid to think anyone stronger, anyone of higher rank would actually be my friend. The Rogues dragged me away from the busy part of the club and into a darker area where a door was opened and I was tossed into the room whose lights were also kept low and dim. I couldn’t put up a fight. Not anymore. There was not a time when I fought back and won. This moment was just like every other. It was just like every other thing I’d been through. I huddled in a corner of the room—the darkest. I couldn’t fight the men off but I could at least hold off my woe
