CHAPTER 30–Nothing but trouble. ALPHA REXI didn’t know why I stood there and just let them run past me but what else could I have done? How fast could I have come to terms with the fact that my sister—might I add, who was very much blind—had been fighting off rogues while the Omega I thought I thought I had in check clung to her? How was anything supposed to make sense to me in that fleeting moment? Nothing made sense right from when I regained consciousness and was told an Omega was just across my room and I was the one who brought her back to my pack with me. Even now, as I sat on the couch in the room and watched as Logan beat the answer out of the two rogues bound on their knees in front of us, nothing still made sense. “Enough.” My words stopped another one of Logan’s punches on Tyron. His fist hung mid-air only for a second before he slowly brought it down and kicked Tyron forward. He landed just a few feet away from me, coughing up blood as he did. Tyron was a bloody mess

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 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

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

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
