EUDORA.I was awake when someone slipped a book under my door.My first thought was that Zena hasn’t given up on me like she made it seem the last time she was here. For a brief moment, I laid there, contemplating whether to go for the book, fighting between the inquisitive and the rational part of me.In the end, the inquisitive one won but first, I listened for footsteps and when I could make out none, I got off the bed and went for the book, flicking its first page open. The only person who could give me a book was Zena but it was also weird, what kind of book it was. It wasn’t the usual one we both read and enjoyed. It was some sort of self-help book and its title was even more weird. “Kicking trauma’s butt with style!” It was a typical Zena thing to do but she also didn’t know what I had gone through. Isn’t that why she was at my door, day and night, requesting for answers? Did she know already? Or was it so obvious that I had gone through the hardest phase of my life? I re

EUDORA.Zena hesitated after saying the first few words that will take me into her world and maybe even understand her and her relationship with her brother better.I realized I never even stopped to think about how she became blind. I just found it fascinating, how she was able to find her way around her weakness while mine has wrecked me over and over. I settled beside her on the bed, touching her arm reassuringly. To let her know that I was willing to hear her story despite myself. She continued. “I was born in my brother’s absence and then, I didn’t even know I had a brother. No one spoke of him.” It must be true then. That Alpha Rex was locked up at a really tender age for her to not have known him while growing up.“I was young but I could tell our family wasn’t perfect. I would always wake up to my father and mother arguing and as I slowly began to make sense of the world around me, I realized most of their arguments were about this brother no one has told me about.” She

ALPHA REX I stood still in Eudora’s room, looking around like the answer to the questions in my mind would be found somewhere in the corners of her room. I really needed to know why she has reacted to me that way when she has never done that before. Wasn’t she in my bed just a few nights ago? Yes, that was probably a mistake on my part but she had woken up on that same bed with me and asides coming to the realization that we’d shared the same bed, there was nothing unusual about her. Was it the nightmare? Leticia stepped into the room with me. The painting was almost done and she had only two days left before she returned to her pack. Since the last time I told her about what had happened at the MoonBorn pack, things have been a little awkward and I didn’t know for which one of us or why exactly things turned out that way. “What happened?” She asked after allowing me a brief moment of reflection on what had just happened. “You saw it.” I said, matter-of-factly, facing her. She s

ALPHA REX. PAST♣️♣️♣️My first day at the pack’s kindergarten was such a memorable one that as soon as I got back, I went to my room and laid all my bed, sulking all day. My mother got back from Luna business that day and I heard as she asked everyone around the house about me until she came looking for me herself in my room. The moment I heard her come in, I pulled my duvet over my entire small frame as if to hide for her but my reaction was so funny to her that she chuckled.I didn’t plan on being funny. I wanted to come off as pissed. She came to sit on my bed and slowly pulled the duvet off me. Her silver eyes peered down at me, they were calm and “Rex, did you not like your first day at school?” She asked, playing with my hair. Some of my anger dissipated at her calm voice and soothing fingers. My mother was perfect.I shook my head to answer her. “You’ll have to use your words, young man. I can’t tell if that’s a no or a yes.” She said playfully. “No, I didn’t like it.” I

EUDORA.I do not regret returning to the Bluecoven pack. I do not have the sudden urge to return to the pack where I’ve spent most of the days being miserable. I do not regret coming back to the man who has rejected me. No, it wasn’t regret I felt. But I did feel something, and it started from the moment Alpha Rex turned his back on me and walked away. It got worse as I sat to eat dinner with Alpha Osolo and his family. It was just like old times, except this time it felt like a shadow was looming over us at the dinner table. I couldn’t even work out my appetite because even though it’s just as before, it doesn’t feel like it. I expected the awkwardness. I prepared myself for it because it was inevitable. I didn’t expect less from the reunion of a girl who was sent off to become a plaything for an Alpha and the people who perpetrated it. I felt like a stranger. I was watched like one. I could feel the gaze of Alpha Oslo and Luna Eleanor, hot on me. I could tell they were disappoint
