ALPHA REX. The number of times I asked my prisoner about what I already knew proved the singular point that I wasn’t willing to accept that someone I had just tossed out of my pack somehow, has something to do with a revolution I was still confused about.“I told you everything I know! Please…please…let me go now.”The screams and yells of the man followed my move out of the room with Logan following dutifully behind me. I didn’t care what the men did with him, I already got what I wanted from him even though it was not in the least satisfying. If anything, it made me want to trash the whole club. I just couldn’t wrap my head around anything especially where the Omega was concerned. What was it about her? Why was she…why was she everywhere in my face?“You look angry.” Logan said quietly, stating the very obvious.“No shit, Sherlock.” I grumbled at him. “This is about her right?”“Isn’t everything about her now?” I snapped. Everything revolved around her yet I couldn’t figure out

EUDORA.“I need you.”Three words and it’s just Alpha Rex saying them with the usual pointed look in his eyes, making it difficult to properly make sense of the words and why he said them like they were just another set of words he always flings around at me. I barely got the chance to say anything after what he said and even if I did, my brain failed to make any sense that could send signals to my lips to make them work. It happened fast and now we were in his car, on the way back to the pack. It was surreal and no, it’s not just returning to the pack that made me feel that way but because Alpha Rex came back to get me and now I was seated right beside him while he drove. We rode wordlessly. The few weeks I spent being close enough to him made it clear that he was not a man of many words and especially not to me who he didn’t even like the sight of. The awkward situation dampened my excitement. I was going back to the pack, I was going to meet Zena and Lillian again, I wasn’t just

EUDORA. The reason I was brought back to the Angels and Banes pack wasn’t officially announced until after a few days when Lillian came into my room, bearing shopping bags in her hands. I ran over to help her with the heavy bags, now just realizing that the Alpha had no maid around the house to handle things like this. I only just realized how much work Lillian did here. “Do you get paid for this?” I asked, more worried about her than I was curious about the loads of bags dumped on my bed.Lillian smiled tenderly, tired lines causing her forehead to crease. I had heard the Alpha talk about her leaving this week and I already knew why. Lillian was retiring. She has until her birthday to be this strong and able to move heavy things around the house.At eighty, she will have no wolf to give her the strength anymore. I was just like that. Give me a few wrinkles and tired eyes and there you have it, a wolf fit for the retirement pack. “The Alpha does send me money but I have had no use

EUDORA.Lillian left early the next morning. She was transported to the retirement pack by Logan and we were allowed to see her off just outside the house and nothing farther than that. As I watched the car leave, I thought back to break of dawn when she had stealthily walked into my room. My bed dipping with added weight was what woke me and I had been startled at first. “Did I ruin a pleasant dream?” She whispered as I slowly sat up. I shook my head, eyes heavy with sleep but even though my vision was still slightly blurry, I saw the way the smile on her face slowly froze. It was then I realised something a little late. Lillian’s eyes were already on it and I couldn’t hide it anymore.“Eudora, your hair.” She whispered. On instinct, my hands went to my hair. I knew I looked like I was a deer caught in the headlights with how startled I was. Her eyes then lurked around till they found what they were looking for sitted on my bedside table. My wig. I exhaled, my heart beating fast,

EUDORA. As Zena would say, “I fucked up.” I messed up so bad on my first time even when I thought I had it all under control. I was wrong, I had nothing under control and as the Alpha chased me out of this room in the wee hours of that morning, I contemplated running out the front door of the house and not return to the room I was still having sleepless nights in.I couldn’t tell why I couldn’t sleep but my mind zeroed continuously around being able to hear Alpha Rex breathe through the thin layer of the wall and also being so close to him than ever before and no, the walls did nothing to make it feel better. I was nervous…could he hear me breathe too? Did I breathe too heavily? Was my scent too much for him to handle? The thoughts kept me up all night and I tried to keep my nerves in check by reading a book from Zena’s shelf. Somehow, his steady breathing assured me that he was asleep and I would admit that regularity of it was in a way…calming. I was wide awake when I noticed th
