Semua Bab THE ALPHA'S DOWNFALL: Bab 131 - Bab 140

AUTUMN:Maddox's reaction was far better than watching the newcomer. From the looks of it, it seemed that the beta did not like the woman at all. Good for him. I wanted him to squirm. I wanted him to be uncomfortable. Just because we had a truce did not mean I was all good to him. On the other hand, the interaction between the two was...how did I say it...interesting? I wondered what was the story between the two?"Autumn."My brows furrowed, realizing there was the alpha standing beside that woman. How come I didn't even notice him?Hugh’s expression darkened as if he was…mad? Again? For staying in the same room with the beta?‘Maddox and I did not do anything wrong,’ I said. ‘You think he has the time to fool around given his condition right now?’ I asked through our mind link, not hiding my annoyance. ‘Why am I even explaining to you? I do not owe you anything, Hugh. Please stop acting jealous because you're not being cute,’ I stated inside his head. ‘Could you blame me? My mate

AUTUMN:With all eyes on Hugh, it seemed that his tongue had retreated. Then, a couple of minutes passed, and he answered, "Yes. I will be shouldering the expenses. Charge everything to me."Mika narrowed her eyes. "Why? Are you her second chance mate?"I coughed and said to change the conversation, "Now, now. It's not about me, but Beta Maddox. Why don't we return to our previous conversation and start healing the beta? So that he could return to the pack house? A lot of warriors might be missing him."Mika clapped her hands. "Alright. I agree. We lost so much time. Beta Maddox, can you handle the severing of your bond?"Secretly, I sighed in relief. "How will you do it?" I asked, plainly curious. Mika smiled. "It's not that simple. I will cast a spell. Others use a potion, but the chances of success are slim. If you want your money not to be wasted, let's go work on casting a spell. But I want to make it clear that there would always be a risk.""What kind of risk?" I asked, sudde

AUTUMN: The beta’s shout of pain continued to explode like wildfire shattering the silence of the hallway. As much as I did not want to feel any worry for him, I could not help it. His shouts seemed like he was being skinned alive. No wonder Beta Maddox does not want to get treated by Mika. It was because of this. “Hey. Tell me the success rate of healing the beta?” I asked. “You’re worried for him,’ he said matter-of-factly. “Alright. Fine. Yes, I am worried even if I should not be feeling it right now. I hated him. I hated how he rejected me, but dammit. I am not that heartless. I still feel sorry for him right now.” “Maddox had the same reaction when it came to this. But we can be rest assured that he is fine in Mika’s hands.” “Are you sure?” “I am sure.” “You seemed to trust that woman a lot. Is there something going on between you and her in the past?” He glanced at me while his eyes narrowed. “Is that jealousy I hinted at in your voice?” “Of course not! I w

AUTUMN:My breath caught in the air. I did not look at Hugh right away. Instead, I stared at his fingers sliding into mine. It molded perfectly as if we were made for each other. ‘You two are both made for each other,’ Trisha stated, sighing. ‘He is our mateeee!’My heart was loud now. Louder than the squeals of Trisha inside her mind. Could Hugh have heard it, too? I wished he could not. It would only embarrass me even more. Did I like the feel of his hands against mine?His fingers locked mine and I could feel his callouses—one of the signs of how he worked hard to keep the pack safe. His hand reminded me of the great responsibility he was carrying. Until now. I fucking loved the feel of our calloused hands against each other. There might be times when I denied it, but when he did something to surprise me, it was always surprising. Finally, I looked up and saw how Hugh's eyes danced with joy when I did not tug my hand away. "I love you, Autumn. I really do."My heart somersaul

AUTUMN:I stared at the ceiling and laughed out loud. “Don’t you dare give me your bullshit, Maddox. Don’t lie to me. For what?” He stared at me for a long time, his eyes holding too much emotion. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but was holding himself. “I'm not lying. This is difficult for me, too.” He pulled the blanket from his body. “Oh, please. I did not think I had to spell it out to you, Maddox. Of course, it would be easy for you. It was easy since you rejected me in the past.”His face darkened. "Could we please stop talking about the past?" he asked. Running away from the past again? "This mess started all because you rejected me. And now that I was to be completely free away from you, you're giving me conditions that I don't have any choice but to follow. You're always so selfish, you know that?""It's give and take, Autumn. If it were me, I would never join the ceremony. The pack needs me right now. If someone is selfish, it's not me. It's you forcing me i
