CHAPTER 39
ELODIE
If it weren’t for the fact that they told me Freddie was their father, I wouldn’t have thought they were related. Their appearances were nothing alike: blonde with green eyes, dark hair with gray eyes.
They were opposites in every way.
My eyes darted to his wife. She was blonde, too, with blue eyes, which her daughter had inherited. She had that innocent look, but unlike her son, she seemed to be hiding her true self behind that facade.
“Would you start with an introduction first?” I snapped at Freddie. I wasn't going to let him speak to me like that. I wasn't going to let anyone speak to me like that.
Freddie’s eyes widened in disbelief before he threw his head back in laughter. I couldn’t tell what was funny about how I spoke to him. Ignoring his laughter, I proceeded to pick out several foods to fill my plate. Tedros helpe

ELODIEI glanced at Tedros as soon as his father was done talking. Why was he paying attention to me? It wasn’t like we knew each other. Tedros reached down to hold my hand and squeezed it softly. He was comforting me, but I felt like it was more like telling me not to snap. “Yes, go on, Freddie,” I replied. “What is it that you want to ask me?”I had a feeling that whatever he wanted to ask me wasn’t good. A grin spread across his face. Everyone was silent; I guess they were curious about what he had to say.“I heard you are the best friend of my son’s ex-wife,” Freddie stated, making me freeze. Why was he bringing that up? If he had paid attention to that, he must have known what happened.“Yes, I am,” I replied, unwavering.“Why are you suddenly asking that?” Tedros demanded. “We have made it clear that we won’t mention my ex-wife anymore.”Turning my gaze to look at him, I found him glaring at his father. “That’s right,” Belle added. “If that’s what you want to talk about, you

ELODIEHe was standing up for me. Does that mean he doesn’t believe in his father? I mean, what his father said made a little bit of sense, and they could believe it. After all, I don’t think they fully trusted me.What if they secretly blamed me for her death? I was the one who offered to buy her baby’s outfit the day before. If only I remembered what happened. My head throbbed as I tried to think about it.“Are you so dumb that you can’t realize that she killed her best friend?” Freddie pressed. “Didn’t they head out shopping?”Shopping? I couldn’t remember heading out shopping with her. I remembered telling her we were going to go, but I had no idea if we did.The pain in my head increased, and everywhere suddenly became blurry. I placed my hand on my head and tried to keep my eyes open. My head throbbed, and I felt a tight grip on my chest. “Be quiet!” Mrs. Vinters' voice echoed, and I saw a liquid spilling. Even though my vision was getting blurry, I found the liquid spilling
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 42
ELODIE“Are you alright, sweetie?” Mrs. Vinters asked, her fingertips grazing my cheek.Why are they so worried? I am not dead yet; I just collapsed from... I couldn’t even tell what caused me to faint. It must have been stress from reading all night without getting proper sleep.“I am fine,” I replied.“No, you aren’t,” Belle choked out.It was then that I realized she was crying. What the hell was happening? Her sobs increased, making me panic.“I am seriously fine,” I said, trying to calm her down. “Nothing happened to me; I only passed out from stress. It was nothing important.”Although I was confused, I was glad that they were still by my side. That proved they didn’t believe the allegations Freddie made against me, but where was Tedros?I had trailed my eyes earlier to catch sight of him, but he was nowhere in sight.“Stop lying to us,” Cole murmured.Mrs. Vinters pulled them both away from my body and shoved them behind her. Sitting next to me on the bed, she snatched the box

ELODIE“Ducky, can you hear me?” A loud, impatient voice rang through the air.Despite the background noise, I recognized the voice immediately. There was only one person in the world who called me that.“Keep your voice down; you might wake her,” another voice muttered, slightly softer than the first.Beep!Beep!The beeping sound pierced through me. My head hurts. Every breath I took made me feel like my lungs were blocked.It hurt so much.I tried moving my fingers, but it was tough. I noticed that I couldn't move any part of my body.“Ducky, can you hear me?” The first voice repeated itself.Hearing his voice made me want to talk to him. “Tedros?” My lips moved on their own, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt anymore.“Ducky, you're awake.” He sounded pained, and I felt a hand on mine.I wanted to open my eyes and look at him. He came; he came for me. My head throbbed as I tried to remember all that happened.“What happened to Beatrice?” he asked almost immediately.Surprised, I man

ELODIE3 years later.“Welcome, Ms. Campbell.” My personal assistant greeted me as I made my way inside. Holding my head high, I glanced at the people that were in the conference room. They were two women, and they were in their mid-40s.“Good evening, Ms. Campbell.” The woman greeted me. Taking my seat, I smiled at them. “Hello, Mrs. Thompsons.” They returned the smile, and I tried to keep my fake smile in place. The Thompsons were my high-paying clients. I'm currently the CEO of Elod's security organization. It is currently located in human territory, but my employees were werewolves. However, our clients were mostly humans because they were the ones who needed protection more than werewolves. The ladies in front of me were humans who had no idea that they were staring at a werewolf. “Ms. Campbell, we have been waiting for an hour. Couldn't you have told us that you were going to be late?” The first woman muttered. Sighing, I collected the files that my assistant was handing

ELODIEMy eyes rounded as I stared at him. His hair was longer than usual, and it poured over his face. I could barely breathe as I held his gaze. I could feel tears filling my eyes. Although I have tried to deny my feelings for him, They came rushing back as soon as I saw him. I still love this man. I loved him, and I have missed him so much. All these years of asking for him had been fruitless, but he was in front of me now, and I wasn't going to let him leave. “What are you doing here?!” He demanded it, his hard voice pulling me out of my trance.“Tedros,” I called out, my hand reaching out to stroke his face.He flinched, his eyes widening, before he pulled away. I felt my heart clench. I reminded myself that we were nothing but friends when we separated. I was expecting him to rise and perhaps walk away, but he did none of them. He just pinned me down, staring at me like I was a snack.“What?” I managed to ask a question.“You look different.” He blurted it out, surprising me.
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 3
ELODIEAs soon as the tranquilizer hit Tedros, he spun around and shielded me with his body. I was more than surprised when he reacted that way. “You have to run as soon as I am done counting,” he muttered.I guess he didn’t know what he was hit with. “Tedros?'' I could feel him fighting the tranquilizer. “It’s alright; they are my men.”He glanced back to look at the men; they were staring back at him. Lucas, on the other hand, was staring at me, his expression asking if one tranquilizer was enough to hold down Tedros. “They have guns, Ducky.”“Drop your guns,” I ordered, my voice rising. “He is a friend; don't attack him.” They all dropped their weapons with their gaze focused on me. Lucas's brows arched, and he stared at me like I had just said nonsense. His expression asked, When did I get to keep friends?“See, they listened to me,” I told Tedros. “You can stop fighting the tranquilizer now.” I couldn't believe that he threw himself to cover me from their attacks. “It's even
Alpha Tedros CHAPTER 4
“What's going on here?” I asked.Both heads turned to look at me, and the nurse rushed over to me. “Ms. Campbell, he had been like that since morning.” My eyes met Tedros, and he had a betrayed look on his face. He stared at me like I had just betrayed him. Well, I betrayed him just because I took him to the hospital to check his body.“You better hide your men.” Tedros piped. “Because if you don't and I find the one who shot me with a tranquilizer, I am going to kill him.”“No, you won’t,” I responded, turning my gaze to the nurse. “Go on. I will take it from here.”The nurse nodded before leaving us. Tedros folded his arms and stared at me as I walked over to his bed. I could feel that he had something to say to me.“Say it,” I muttered.He crooked his head to the side, his eyes squinting. “Everyone here seems to be listening to you.”I placed the lunch box on the bed and grabbed the little table that was meant for patients. I placed it on the bed in front of him and unlocked the
