EUDORA “I missed you, Eudora.” I heard it the first time but it had me stunned. Too stunned to say a word and so I stared blankly at him, just long enough for him to repeat it again. I wanted to believe Conan so badly. His eyes held so much sincerity that I was really willing to forget how he’d betrayed me and totally changed towards me after he rejected me but I couldn’t easily forget a part of my past that hurts so much, could I? I couldn't easily forget the starting point of my misery. “Why?” I asked quietly, maybe a little too foolish too because I didn’t know what sort of answer I was expecting when I asked him that. He seemed to be thrown off guard too as he searched for words to say. He sighed.“Don’t be like that, Eudora. I know you’re mad at me and I totally understand that. I was…” he paused and sighed again, “I was a jerk.” He confessed sincerely. “But you have to understand that I couldn’t do anything to stop my parents. All they wanted was the best for me and the pa

EUDORA.“Wha—what?” I stuttered. “Let me make you mine, Eudora. That way you won’t have to worry about anything anymore. You’ll be mine and mine alone.”I instantly understood what he meant and I felt a heavy lump in my throat from hearing those words. I backed away, holding myself in my arms as I suddenly felt jittery all over. My bruises started to itch too and one look at the closed door, I regretted not running out of it when I got the chance.I couldn’t believe Conan was trying to take advantage of me. “What’s so hard to believe about it? He almost did it once, remember?” My wolf gave me a reminder of what had happened and that she was still here, witnessing all that was going on between me and the man I used to like so much.Conan was right even though I wanted him to be so wrong. I would be safe once I was claimed. I wouldn’t be in danger of being forced into the arms of any other Alpha. It was the best way to finally find peace but how could I possibly find peace with Conan?

EUDORAI did as told, I spread my legs. At least I spread them as far as they let me or to put it more accurately, as far as I was able to spread them because of how weak and mushy my entire body was.My guess was I didn’t spread them wide enough or the way Alpha Rex wanted them to be because he came even closer to me, sank into the empty space of the bed beside me and spread me apart with his hands as my dress had already ridden up to my thighs. His touch—for the first time—on the bare skin of my thighs served as a wake-up call and also fired my skin up once again in a way that burned harder than before. My breasts seemed like they grew even heavier at his touch and the nipples fought hard to be broken away from the restraint of my dress. The wake-up call weighed heavier than my breasts. It made something else other than the lustful thoughts that’s been whirling around in my head, take up my entire mind as I realized what was about to happen. My heart raced faster, harder than it

ALPHA REX.Fresh air. Silence.Realization…It all hit me all at once, not taking a second longer after I left Eudora alone in the room. I stayed calm for her own sanity, but mine descended into chaos the moment I was away from her. I stood in the middle of their living room and just…I just stared at blank space as my thoughts tore at each other in my head. The whole house was silent now, Eudora’s moans and cries were only echoes at the back of my mind now but inside of my head were even louder noises that I fought to keep down. I looked down at my fingers—the ones that had been knuckles deep into the wetness of an Omega—and I sighed, my hand going to my hair. What was I thinking? I could have walked out of there, no, I ‘should’ have. The moment I knew what was going on with her and the only way to stop it, I should have left yet I couldn’t and I couldn’t even give an excuse as to why I let an Omega come on my fingers. And not just any Omega too, a strange one whose existence was

ALPHA REX. “I’m going to stop going after the Alpha-Delta project.” I announced. My Beta raised a brow at the suddenness of my words and what they meant. I’ve been thinking about it since the moment we met, itching to let it out and I finally did when I was done fighting my thoughts in my head. The battle was between a part of me that wanted to keep digging, to see what I could find because it was sure there was something lurking in the darkness and I could find it if I kept pushing, and another part of me that was tired of the back and forth that was getting me nowhere. “You don’t mean you’re giving up, are you?” Logan finally responded. “I’m not giving up, I’m simply trying to make better use of my time.” Logan stared back at me in surprise and I knew one, I’d been the one who was adamant and bent of making sure I got to the root of the project but here I was backing out.“Sounds like you’re giving up to me.” He said, shaking his head. “What changed?”A lot, including the fact
