ROSALINE'S POV "Ohh shit!!!" I stumbled and fell on a hard rock body. I looked up to see who I just fell on, and it was Gabriel. "I bet you saw me coming," I replied. He scoffed. "And I bet you didn't realize that there was an obstacle on your path which made you stumble. I have been standing right here all the while. You were the one who hit me. An apology would suffice," he said I huffed. "Stalking me?" I asked. "You wish, don't you?" he replied sarcastically. "Then why do you always seem to be in my way," I questioned. "The last I check, your name wasn't imprinted on any passage way here," he answered with a light grin on his face. I knew this question and answer would continue for eternity. Gabriel had such time but I had no such time for that because I needed to see alpha Konan urgently. I ignored him and tried to make my way when Gabriel fully stopped me in my tracks. "Beta dear, I sneered. I would really appreciate if you would clear the way. I have somew
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
ALPHA KONAN'S POVAs I neared my study, the scent of something familiar, innocent and sweet, struck me.Madeline. And she was a stark opposite what her scent represented.She just stood outside the door; tense, fidgety, her shoulders slouched. Even in the thin light, I saw the shimmer of unshed tears in her eyes.I breathed out slowly. I had expected this, this confrontation. I had given the instruction that no one allowed Madeline see godfather. And consider how stubborn she was, she would go see him.Seeing him would only reopen her wounds. Keeping her away was the only way to protect her."I heard you captured him... godfather," she said, her voice strained with frustration.I didn't reply. I reached for the study door and pushed it open. She followed, hot on my pursuit."I need to see him," she said as soon we were inside."No," came my reply.She paused, wide eyed, as if my response had struck her like a gavel striking judgement."Why not?" She retorted.I turned to face her full
ALPHA KONAN'S POV I took a look at Godfather's body, hung upright, his arms stretched above his head. His wrists and ankles were bound in thick, silver chains laced with painful shift serum. The serum was already working its magic as usual, keeping his wolf weak and on the edge of madness, but not enough to let him slip. I stepped closer and took in more of his sorry features. His head dropped forward, his chin, resting just above his chest. He was unconscious. Behind me, Kellan asked. "What do you want to do with him, Alpha?" I didn't take my eyes off the bastard. "Wake him up." Kellan got into action immediately and drove his balled fist hard into the godfather's stomach. A strangled grunt escaped from godfather's throat, his body jerking forward against the chains. His eyes opened slowly, and then realization struck. He struggled against the chains, but they held firm. He just winced, in pain. The serum had seeped deep into his system, making his every movement dr
ALPHA KONAN'S POVRosaline and Dan were in my study, talking about border patrols, pack issues and upcoming new pack agreements, yet none of it truly registered.My mind was somewhere else.I could still feel her warm, supple skin against my own, the way her body arched underneath me as my mouth explored her. Her soft whimpers, her hitching breath. And those hard, reddish peaks that pebbled under my touch—all of her responding to me so perfectly.And the taste of her... so heavenly.I became aroused just replaying the moment I had her squirming under my relentless touch, how I didn't stop even after I pushed her over the edge. The blissful exhaustion in her eyes.Sleeping beside her, in my arms. Waking up to see her eyes flutter open. I had waited so long for this and now that I had experienced this , I was never letting go.A small smile tugged at my lips.She was for real, a dangerous little wolf.Rosaline's voice cleared the fog in my head. I snapped back to the present.I found bo
MADELINE'S POVSilence wrapped around us like a heavy blanket. Alpha Konan collapsed beside me, his bare chest, rising and falling.I watched him from the corner of my eyes. My body still tingled, my mind still spinning from everything that had just happened, but still hungry with need.For a while, neither of us spoke. Not that the silence was uncomfortable.Then, he turned his head to look at me, in a very soft way."Did this just happen?" He murmured more to himself. He let out a slow breath. "This is like a dream come true."I didn't know what to say. A part of me couldn't believe it either.Then, he shifted onto his side, facing me fully. "I have done grave things to you, things that scarred you. Forgiving me won't be easy, but I want to try, one step at a time, I will fix things. I will treat you rightly, the way I should have done from the start."I swallowed nothing, unsure on how to respond. This honesty...his openness."About Damien—"He hushed me gently before I could finis
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI carried her towards the bed and sat down, placing her comfortably, on my crotch, straddling me.She began to gyrate slowly and softly on my crotch. Even through the fabric of my pants, I could feel how wet she was, how badly she needed me.And then her hands found the hem of my shirt, and she pulled it over my head, exposing my chest.She stopped gyrating.Her fingers trembled as she traced her soft, small fingers over my chest, feeling the hard planes of the muscles. Her touch was featherlight, as if she was trying to memorize every inch of me.In turn, I unzipped her dress and let it fall to a pool on her waist, leaving her with only the flimsy lacy underwear.Oh Moon Goddess...What I saw!That only made me want to take my time with her.She wore no bra. Her naked full breast with protruding hardened nipples called to me."You are beautiful," I complimented, watching her through hooded eyes.Her lips parted as if she had something to say, but she said nothing.I
ALPHA KONAN'S POV My eyes widened in shock. "What?! I exclaimed softly. What did you just say? Madeline stared at me. Her once innocent eyes were now wild and desperate. A hunger burned in them— a hunger that mirrored my own. "You heard me, Alpha Konan," she murmured with a hoarse voice filled with urgency. "Claim me!" I curled and uncurled my fist beside me. Every fiber of my being scorched, my control stretching impossibly thin. "I think I will go insane if you don't," she exhaled sharply, her chest rising and falling with uneven breaths. "I want your lips on mine, your hands on my skin. I ache for you," she said raspily. Shudder racked through me. Did she even understand what she was asking? What kind of beast she was unleashing? Elyan surged forward. Feral. Restless. But this was happening too fast. "Are you sure about this, Madeline?" My voice was low and guttural. She didn't hesitate to reply. "I have never been more sure of anything, Alpha Konan." This wasn't enough
ALPHA KONAN'S POVThe journey to Crescent Pack is now confirmed, Rosaline said. Everything is in place.I just gave her a knowing, short nod.Sera's memory has improved faster than we expected, compared to the last time I reported to you.That was a relief, but I stayed silent.Also, Godfather now pressurizes Sera to bring him the new pack agreement. He can't wait much longer.I released a slow breath, reached into my desk drawer, and pulled out the document, then slid it to her. She picked it up and went through the pages. A slight frown emerged. "Are you giving Godfather the original agreement?" she asked."Yes," I replied.She lifted her gaze, scrutinizing me. "You are actually giving it to her?"I rested my back on my seat. "She needs something real. Something with Oceanwolf Pack seal. Godfather should never suspect anything. If not, he will tear through every lie she tells. He needs to believe Sera is not compromised. The more he trusts her, the more reckless he will become."Ro
MADELINE'S POVThe moment we were far enough from Alpha Konan, I yanked my hands away from Damien's grip.He stopped, tilting his head with a mockingly amused expression. "That's a weird way to say thank you," he mused."Thank you? For what?""For saving you from that conversation with Alpha Konan," he said smoothly. "I saw how much you wanted to get away from him. Now you need to make it up to me. We have a lot of catching up to do."I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "What do you want, Uncle Damien?""A date," he blurted.I blinked. "A what?""A d-a-t-e," he stressed, as if I had difficulty hearing. "We are going to have a date, in public, where the whole pack sees us. His eyes shining with mischief. I want us both to be a thing."A laugh bubbled up from my throat. I shook my head, letting it spill out, filled with ridicule."That can never happen between us Uncle Damien. We can never be a thing."I turned on my heel, ready to walk away."If that's all, then I—But then he spoke, and his w
MADELINE’S POVRelief settled in my chest. I wasn’t the only one Alpha Konan had summoned. Rosaline, Dan, a few high-ranking warriors, and the pack elders were all here. That meant this meeting wasn't personal, but important. I exhaled quietly. At least it wouldn’t just be me and him.Still, I couldn’t stop my eyes from drifting toward him. He looked… different. His sharp, commanding face was rougher, etched with deep worry lines, and he lacked the composure he always carried. Then my gaze moved lower.His left hand was wrapped in bandages, messily done, with only his fingers peeking out. The rumor floated through my mind—the one about him losing control, destroying things. Maybe it was true. Maybe he had really spiraled, hopefully not because of me.My hands curled into fists, nails digging into my palms. Whatever pain he was feeling now, it was nothing compared to what he put me through. And yet… my wolf didn’t listen to reason. My heart did its own thing, tugging in a way I wished
