Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 110

Peelle

Eda didn't come back to our room last night. I knew she wanted to speak with Osborn and for a while I was concerned that they would get into an argument. But I felt it the moment that he marked her. It's an odd feeling but it's like her being marked by both of us created a bond between the three of us.

I hope when I see them this morning that things will be okay. It would break my heart if she was upset over the marking or if he randomly decided that he didn't want to be with her.

I walk downstairs and see that Alita and my parents are already at the dining table. Mom looks at me curiously and I know she wants to ask where Eda is because Eda is normally with me, but today she isn't and that's unusual.

I notice her scent first and it has changed as it has now mingled with my brother's. I can hear his soft chuckle and their footsteps as they come downstairs. My shoulders suddenly relax as I let go of the tension that I didn't realize I was carrying.

I turn towards the door, and I can't help but smile seeing the happiness on Eda's face and seeing that she is more lively today than she has been lately.

Knowing that her own mother poisoned her has taken its toll, but the poison itself made her weaker each day. Seeing that she feels a little better is a good feeling. Did her finally getting marked by Osborn help her heal a little more?

She walks straight over to me and hugs me and whispers in my ear, "I'm sorry I didn't go back to our room last night."

I hold her tight, and a chuckle escapes my lips as I say, "You don't need to apologize, Eda. I know you were safe."

She pulls away with a smile before sitting beside me and Osborn takes a seat next to her. Our parents look at each other and seem giddy and I just roll my eyes at them. But after a couple of minutes with their looks Osborn is annoyed and snaps, "Why do you keep looking at us?"

Our dad rolls his eyes but mom says, "Son, we're just so happy for you. Look at you three! You have found and accepted true happiness and as parents that's all we want for you!"

Dad nods along in agreement and Osborn shakes his head as he murmurs, "Crazy parents."

Eda giggles and I can't help but place my hand on her thigh, just wanting some kind of physical contact. Everything feels perfect.

But then dad had to say, "So, have you thought anymore about what we should do to save Eda?"

Eda visibly pales at my dad's words, and I realize she is still worried about Osborn. He notices her reaction and turns toward her as he says, "No, we haven't figured it out, yet. But we will." He grabs her hand and brings it to his lips as he says in a low tone, "I will not lose you, okay?"

Her heart beats faster as she whispers, "Okay."

I'm proud of him and how he seems to care for her now. It's all I could've wanted for her. I just wish we knew how to safe her without getting other family members involved.

Mom and Alita have tried to save her, and nothing has worked and at this point... I'm running out of hope.

Alita

It's been two weeks since Osborn marked and mated with Eda. She's so weak now that she can't get out of bed.

Osborn and Peelle are scrambling to figure out what to do. They can't make a fake blood via or that could have more dire consequences. But everyone has agreed asking one of our relatives to send blood isn't an option. It's just... they all think it's too risky. But I see how happy my brothers are with Eda and they're finally getting along. I know this is something Peelle has longed for most of his life.

Which is why I'm going to take action.

I sit on my bathroom floor as I read over the instructions I got online of how to take my own blood. I snuck the supplies from our pack hospital, and I need to figure out a way to get my blood to the rogues. I think if I sit with Eda long enough and ask her questions about her past life that I might be able to find information in her mind so that I know what direction to go.

Or maybe I could get off pack lands and have a sign or something for them. Surely, they're watching and waiting for a moment that they can act to attack our pack.

I know that no one would approve of what I'm doing, but what else am I supposed to do?

Eda can't die. She's the missing piece in our family and my brothers are finally happy. If I have to sacrifice a little blood to make her live then it's well worth it.

Eda

It's been almost three weeks since Osborn marked me, and my health has declined a lot more than I care to admit. Osborn and Peelle are worried about me, and we all spend our nights in Osborn's room because it's the biggest and neither of the men will sleep without me.

At this point, I'm convinced that my life is over, and I just need to be grateful for the time I have left with my mates.

Peelle comes into the bedroom and smiles at me as he asks, "Are you ready for breakfast, princess?"

I smile as I raise my arms up and he rushes to my side and cradles me into his arms. The last time I tried to walk down the stairs, I fell down them. Peelle and Osborn refuse for me to go down them on my own now and insist on carrying me.

Claudia and Evan smile at me when I come in. Claudia comes and spends a lot of time with me during the day. She doesn't want me to feel alone when both of the boys are busy. She's been a true mother figure and her kids are so lucky to have her. She even told me the story of how they knew my mom. I knew my mom wasn't a good person, but the whole situation blew my mind.

Osborn sits beside me and leans over giving me a quick kiss as he asks, "How are you feeling today, love?"

I give him a weak smile as I say, "I'm okay."

The worry in his eyes is evident and I would do anything to make him feel happy again. But I don't know how to fix this. Just like they don't know how to fix this.

We all settle down to eat our breakfast when the door bursts open and a patrolman trips on his way in here. Osborn stands up and rushes over to help him as he questions, "What's going on?"

The man looks at all of us before focusing back on his Alpha and passing him a package, "It's for you, Alpha."

Osborn nods as he takes the package and the man leaves. Claudia looks concerned as she asks, "What is it, son?"

He shrugs as he opens it and his eyes widen and he brings it over to me. Inside I see a syringe filled with some kind of liquid and on top of it was a simple note that says, "Love, mom."

I breathe out, "It must be the antidote."

Peelle asks, "Shouldn't we have a doctor check it out?"

We all sit in silence as we process through what's happening. I say, "Guys, I'm already close to death. If this is supposed to hurt me then honestly what does it matter? But if it can heal me... then it's best if I take it immediately." Osborn nods as he says, "I agree."

Peelle looks into my eyes and fear is consuming him. He breathes out as he nods, "Okay, do it."

Osborn injects the syringe into my neck, in the same spot my mother did. I hiss from the pain. Time will tell if it worked.
