Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 27
ELODIE“I was not terrified,” I grumbled. I didn't want him to place the camera and see his look-alike. I still don't know the cause of his look-alike appearance. I didn't have an idea if it was him too. There was no way I could let him see his lookalike without getting all the information I could get about it.“Saying that won't change my mind about installing the cam. I understand that you don't want me to know who comes here, but that doesn't mean I can't find out.’’“Tedros—” “Don't try to change my mind, Ducky. This is for your safety. I could tell from the look on your face that you were terrified.” He leaned down closer to draw lines on my face with his finger. “You looked so terrified yesterday, and now you are upset.” I just let him draw the invisible lines on my face. His touch was both rough and soothing, and his large hands made my face look small.“I am really fine.” I insisted, my eyes closed, trying to resist the urge to grab his hand and sniff it. “You don't look
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 28
ELODIEAfter Tedros retired to his room, I spent a few more minutes making coffee, which I ended up not drinking because it turned cold from me staring at it. Heading to my room afterward, I had a cold shower, changed into my night dress, and hopped on my bed, trying to sleep.I tossed around the bed, unable to sleep. I stayed that way for a few hours before rising from the bed in a sitting position. I have to head to work tomorrow, and I need to sleep. Laying back on the bed, I pulled the pillow to my ears and covered them. In a few minutes, the sound of footsteps reached my ears, and for a second, I thought it was Tedros, but listening carefully, I could tell it wasn’t him. The footsteps were coming from outside, from my window.Then, the sound of a rock hitting the window caught my attention. I checked the time, and it read 11:59 p.m. Getting out of bed, I headed for the window. The only person who could visit at this time was none other than Lucas. I wondered what he wanted this

ELODIETedros raised his head from the book to look at me. For a second, his eyes widened, his gaze moving down to my chest and all the way down. He gulped, then turned his gaze away.Giving him a questioning look, I wondered why he was looking at me like that instead of answering.“Can I stay here for the night?” I inquired once more. “I won’t be a bother, I can sleep on the sofa.”“No,” he replied bluntly. “Why can’t you sleep in your room?”I stepped closer to him, standing next to him and glancing around the room to find a spot to sleep that wasn’t the bed. The room still looked like it had when I arranged it for him.“Aren’t you going to say why you have to sleep here?” he questioned.Spinning around to look at him, his hands were folded, and he had a straight look on his face. He looked like he didn’t want me there. After all, I was the one who had provoked him earlier.“Does it matter?” I asked before I could stop myself.I still couldn’t tell him that there was another him dow

TEDROS“Did you get to speak with the manager of the motherboard delivery?” I questioned Cole as soon as he stepped into the office. He paused halfway towards me and spun around, groaning in frustration as if regretting his decision to walk in. “Why are you still here?”“That’s because I work here,” I answered, lowering my gaze from him and looking down at the files in my hand.My gaze trailed to the heaps of paperwork that still needed to be taken care of. Not that I didn’t have a secretary who could have done it or an assistant; I insisted on doing it myself.“That's the point of it all,” Cole grunted, turning back to look at me. “If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have bothered coming in.”I raised my head to frown at him. He was probably saying that because he didn’t want to work anymore for the day.“Have you spoken to the manager like I asked you to?” I repeated my question.“No.” He replied, walking over to me and flopping his butt on the chair in front of me, his eyes scann
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 31
TEDROSSince that day she asked to stay in my room; she had always been reading those research papers that I had no idea what they were about.The only time I got to see her was when she was making breakfast and when she left her room in the middle of the night to go to the living room.“Just give me the keys, Cole,” I muttered. “I need them to finish or do the job yourself.” He frowned. “Well, there are tons of people that could do the job in this company. I see no reason why you would want to do it yourself.” Calculating my steps, he was in front of the window and holding the keys in his hand. I would be able to snatch the keys if I got close enough.“Mom asked me to send her invitation to you and Elodie. We are all having breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow, which is Sunday." He said, changing the topic.“What for?” “Come on. Don’t tell me you don’t want to see Mom.”“That was not the question. I asked, Why should we visit tomorrow? Is it even necessary?”“Yes. Dad is back, and

ELODIESitting across my monitor screen in my dim office, I closed the book's last page. I scanned my eyes through the notes I had taken. For the past two months, I have been reading every book I could find about premature transformation. Now I was finally done reading everything I could about the transformation. The book hadn’t said anything about the last transformation stage. The only thing written about it was to get rid of anyone in the previous stage, but there was no way I was killing Ted.I couldn’t believe I had spent two months reading and doing research only to find nothing at the end. But I still managed to learn a few things that I knew nothing about. I was glad for that.The days had been hectic, and there were times when I had fallen asleep in front of the computer, only to wake up and continue. It had been a while since I had spoken to Tedros properly, and I missed him.He had no idea what I was doing because I was too busy to even sit down and have a discussion with
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 33
ELODIE“Right,” I said, not wanting to argue about it. “Can I have more?”He nodded. “You can take as much as you want.”I reached out to take part of his food but stopped halfway, rising to my feet, I hurried towards the kitchen.“Where are you going?” He asked.“Hold on, I am just going to grab something. I will be back in three seconds.”I dashed into the kitchen and returned with a bigger plate. He watched me curiously as I poured all the food I could find on the table and stirred them all together.“What are you doing?” He questioned.“Mix them since I want yours,” I responded. “Are there still any more apples left?”He eyed me like he hadn’t expected me to mix them or even try to eat the mixture he made.“There are still more left.” He said, the corner of his ears turning red as he averted his eyes. “I will add it together.”“Okay.”Tedros added all of the apples he could find and soon we were eating the food. He spent most of the time staring at me while I stuffed my mouth with
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 34
ELODIE“You have a father?!” I demanded, feeling like he had punched me in the face. How could he have a father, and I know nothing about it? Now I feel like all this time I claimed to know everything about him, I’ve just been lying to myself.“I am so sorry,” I mumbled, seeing that I had freaked out before him. “I didn’t mean to ask about your father like that. It’s just that it took me by surprise. I never knew your father was still–”“Alive?” he questioned, cutting me off.“I didn’t mean it that way!” I tried to defend myself.I didn’t want to get him mad for thinking that his father was dead when the man was still alive.“He is dead, Ducky,” Tedros murmured in a low tone.I breathed a sigh of relief. “I was right all along, so he is dead.”A smirk curled up his lips. “He is dead to us, not dead.” He revealed, shattering all the relief I felt. “How long have you thought that my father was dead?”I peered at him, reading his expression. He wasn’t mad nor was he surprised. He just ha
