ALPHA KONAN'S POV Sleep was far from me. Madeline betrayed me, I muttered continuously, unconsciously. I buried myself with work. Morning was here and it was time for alpha Novare and his people to take their leave. I had to see them off because it was only customary I did so. Madeline yet wasn't in sight.She appeared from the other end of the mansion. My eyes was fixed on her as she made her way to join alpha Novare and the others. Her eyes was fixed on everything except me. She clearly avoided my gaze.Alpha Novare noticed and whispered to me."Tone your stare a little bit Konan. You could burn her with those laser eyes of yours."I scoffed."Your whore will be back like she never left. Chill out Konan, you won!!!" he grinned.I gritted my teeth at the sound of the word whore coming from his mouth. I knew he was indirectly trying to provoke me.I never moved my eyes from Madeline. The early morning breeze blew her silky hair about and her smooth skin glistened under the rising su
MADELINE'S POV I was awoken with a rough tap on the shoulder. I jolted up in surprise, my vision blurry at least. I rubbed my eyes continuously, so it could get accustomed to the dim light and see who my company was. When my eyes cleared, I looked up and I was blessed with a lanky figure towering above my huddled frame. She was a middle aged woman with a horse whip placed on her shoulder, her face was scrunched totally making her very mysterious and her demeanor giving a no nonsense vibe. Whoever she was, I don't know. I just knew I had to sit up right. "You spent your night here," she asked. "Yes ma'am," I replied very softly. "Up stand!!! I will show you to your room. You are who again?" "I am Madeline, from Oceanwolf pack. I arrived here last night." "Ohh, the servant girl with the complicated relationship with the alpha of Oceanwolf pack?" I bopped my head softly in agreement. She sighed. "That's alright. I apologize for the type of sloppy welcome you receive
MADELINE'S POVAlpha Novare guided me to the pack training field as he had promised. It was a long walk from the pack mansion to the training field.It bustled with energy as the warrior wolves engaged in various fitness activities. At one end, able bodied warrior wolves, their body well shaped and sultry to die for ran laps across the jogging track, the thumping of their feet creating a steady beat. He led me to the other end of the field dominated with female warrior wolves and there stood Louisiana addressing them. Immediately she caught sight of alpha Novare, she ran towards him and they engaged in their little moment of public display of affection. When they were done, she subtly asked."Why are you here with her?""I brought her here for training," he replied."You've got to be kidding me Novare, she chuckled. She isn't supposed to be here. Send her back to madam Apricot. She knows where to place her accordingly.""Give her a chance Louisiana, will you? Trust me, I won't butt i
MADELINE'S POVLouisiana, the warrior wolves and alpha Novare stared at me in awe and astonishment as I came down from the mountain forest. I was shy, dirtied and bloodied all over. I could hardly maintain my composure because a large crowd had gathered.Murmurs emanated from every corners of the crowd. She's far from been a rookie, I heard one of them saying. The 'stealth and stalk' training isn't one for rookies as the rumors claims her to be.Alpha Novare clapped his hands in admiration and Louisiana looked enraged. She never believed I could get past her seasoned warrior wolves."You did well," one of the warrior wolves who hunted me complimented. I later got to know her name was Freya.I hurried down to my room to clean my dirtied self and nurse my wounds. I entered the shower, determined than ever to wash away the dirt and blood. I turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade down. The first droplets of water hit my skin and I felt a sharp sting as it seeped into my open
ALPHA KONAN'S POV"Report," my husky voice demanded.My informant bowed slightly before me. I waved my hand impatiently, "Skip the pleasantries," I said."Alpha Konan, I followed Madeline's movements in crescent pack as you instructed.""And do you have any information about her," I asked."Yes, I have," he hastily replied."Since Madeline arrived crescent pack, her activities have been mundane until she underwent military training and became quite popular.""Military training?" my eyes sharpening."Yes alpha, my informant replied. According to my findings, she requested to join the warrior wolves of crescent pack and alpha Novare allowed it. This was happening after she had a private chat with alpha Novare."And what type of military training is that?""The 'stealth and stalk' training alpha Konan.""The what? You've got to be kidding me, right?""No a..lpha," he stuttered. She underwent the military training.I allowed him to continue."Initially, alpha Novare's mate was against her
MADELINE'S POVSeconds turned into minutes, to hours, to days, to weeks and to months. Today marked it the sixth month I arrived crescent pack and the past six months hadn't been easy.Before the break of dawn, I trudged to the pack training grounds, where Louisiana single handedly spear headed most of my trainings. Whenever she wasn't handling any trainings, she watched my every move thinly with disdain. She took pleasure in watching me struggle, smirking whenever I stumbled or lagged behind in training. She made no secret of her detest for me.The trainings were always grueling and my body often ached because of the much effort I exerted. My endurance limit was often tested each day. My social life was almost non-existent. Interactions with others were brief and strained. It started and ended with hollow hello's and hi's.The annual moon festival was today and everyone including slaves and servants were given the day off so they could celebrate with their families and loved ones. Si
MADELINE'S POVI was jarred back to reality when madam Apricot called out my name. I had spent the night in the hospital without a wink of sleep and dawn was almost here. I was traumatized. The look on madam Apricot's wasn't helping the situation. It was etched with curiosity and suspicion."Explain the relationship between you and the girl, she asked. She constantly called your name and requested only for your presence.""I don't know her madam Apricot," I replied defensively, yet calm.She stared at me—expressionless. I knew she wasn't done with her questions. Infact her suspicions grew stronger when it came to matters concerning me. She always suspected me at any opportunity she got."What about the girl?Is she dead? Is she up?" I anxiously asked."Which do you wish to hear first," her reply sarcastic.I kept mum. I didn't want to rile her up further. She noticed my silence and finally gave me a response. "The girl's up, refusing not to talk to anyone but you and that sounds fishy
MADELINE'S POVThe refusal to speak to anyone but me was mysterious. Even after I left the strange girl's room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something sinister was going on with her. The least I could do was meet her attending doctor to know if her predicament could be explained medically."Doctor," I called as I hoped for answers.The doctor turned to me, his face drawn and tight. You could tell he was on call throughout the night."How can I help," he forced out a smile."The girl found yesterday night and brought here, what could be the cause of her amnesia?"The doctor sighed.The scans shows no sign of any form of physical damage to the brain, and yet... she's unable to remember anything except you. This is not just a simple trauma induced amnesia. It is as though someone deliberately wants her not to remember anything about herself."You mean someone manipulated her memory?""Or something worse, the doctor replied. When her blood tests came back, It came out clean, no
