PETRA'S POV.

I had just recovered from the punishment I received from Godfather a few days ago and it was time to begin executing the new plan. The only way to salvage the situation was to become close and undetachable from Madeline.

I had put my plan in place. First, I was to go close to her and be her personal maid. Madeline looked very lonely and I was sure that she would most appreciate and agree to my suggestion to be her companion because no one wanted to associate with her. Two, understand her daily activities and find the perfect time to strike. To be honest, I felt pity for Madeline. She was the only servant who was nice to me. I just wished she weren't caught in this crossfire.

I headed towards the lady's quarters with basket of fruit that I knew she loved eating. Her room door was slightly opened and I knocked.

"Hey Madeline, thought you might enjoy some of your favorite fruits today," I said showing her the baskets of fruits I carried.

"Hello Petra, it's been a while,

    ALPHA KONAN'S POV I was momentarily entranced when I saw Madeline draped in the outfit— the black gown that accentuated her curves and enhanced the bump on her stomach. A sense of pride and awe swept over me and Elyan responded with a quiet , appreciative growl. Why was I feeling this way about her? Throughout the meeting, I noticed her shifting uncomfortably in her chair, holding a scrunched face as she rubbed her stomach and back. It was subtle, but I couldn't ignore the strain in her movements. It was time for the vote of thanks, I scanned the room, and she wasn't anywhere inside the room. Where could she gone to at a time like this? I could go through the remaining events of the night without her, but I didn't want to. A sense of unease pricked me, even before Dan entered the room and leaned close. "Alpha Konan," he whispered, his tone urgent. "Madeline has been kidnapped." "What?!" I roared, rising to my feet. You've got to be joking Dan. "What do you mean she has be

    ALPHA KONAN'S POV I paced around my study as I waited for Rosaline's arrival. The sound of my shoe soles on the tiled floor were the only defined noise I could hear. Anger and worry simmered within me making my insides hot and I was forced to ask myself for the umpteenth time why I was feeling this way towards her. This feeling was new, very pristine. "It is because she's carrying your child. So it is a tangible reason for you to behave and feel this way." My subconscious answered. "Exactly!" And I couldn't agree more. Rosaline came into my study panting heavily from running. "What did you say happened to Madeline," she asked worry lines evident on her forehead. "The servant girl was kidnapped by Damien, my uncle." "Is Damien around?" she asked. "I have no idea," I replied. "He only made his presence known by kidnapping the servant girl and dropping a letter." "What did the content of the letter say?" Rosaline asked. "I don't care. I only need to save Madeline and

    MADELINE'S POV The darkness crept in, swallowing the room whole. I saw the room closing in on me and felt suffocated. The shadow of a man danced on the wall with a glistening metal knife in hand, trudging towards me. "Please, please..... Don't hurt me. I did nothing wrong to you, I am not the one you seek," I begged. As he came closer, I saw the dangerous face and wicked smile of the man who held the metal knife. He lifted the glistening metal above his head aiming straight for my growing stomach. Sweats filled my face as I struggled to wake up, but the nightmare held me captive in its glued grasp. In reality, I squeezed my pillows and wriggled from side to side till I let out a blood curdling scream and jolted awake. When I woke up, Petra was beside me together with nurse Maude. Beads of sweat lined my forehead and cheeks and I felt sore in every part of my body. My throat was parched and my stomach churned badly. "How are you feeling?" Petra asked. I kept mum because I

    PETRA'S POV Madeline's kidnap had me exhausted. I couldn't get any ounce of sleep the previous night. I asked Madeline about what happened the previous night and why she was kidnapped, and she refused to spill. This was the first time Madeline was hiding an ordeal from me, a very serious one and it kinda hurt. I overheard how alpha Konan talked down at Madeline this morning. I couldn't get the whole details of what happened during the kidnap, but I pitied her—i really did. I understood her predicament and I knew she was going through a lot and I didn't want to keep hurting her. I went back to the servant's quarters to freshen up and grab something to eat before I went back to work. To my surprise, I found my room door ajar and found Kong standing close to the window with a dangerous smirk on his face. I was shocked and taken aback. "Kong, what are you doing here?" I asked with a hushed voice. "Godfather requests your presence." "Now," I asked. "Yes," he really does

    PETRA'S POV Madeline almost caught me last night, but I was smart about it and thankfully she didn't confront me about my strange behavior. I almost gave myself away. Throughout the night, I couldn't seem to drift off. I tossed and turned and I couldn't shake off the feeling of what I was about to do. I definitely had to prepare and begin my duties for the day. I did the necessary things and I went straight to Madeline's quarters. There, I found nurse Maude crying in Madeline's arms. "What exactly is going on?" I asked myself. The only way to find out was to go in and ask. "Is everything alright nurse Maude?" I asked, my voice dripping with curiosity. When nurse Maude heard my voice she wiped her tears and tried to compose herself. She tried wearing a calm face despite the sorrow she was feeling. "I am so sorry for bothering you Madeline. I.... I just received some terrible news," she snorted. "I...I just lost my son," she said. I gasped. "He was among the Warri

    ALPHA KONAN'S POV The day of the duel had arrived, and the weight of what lay ahead pressed heavily on my chest. This wasn't just another fight—it was a battle for my pride, my unborn child, and, more than anything, for Madeline. If I failed, it wouldn’t just be my defeat—it would be a loss of everything I held dear. But I couldn’t afford to lose. Not this time. I had to emerge victorious, and I had to put Uncle Damien in his place. My muscles were tense, a storm of nervous energy swirling in my body. I needed to focus, to center myself. I walked to the makeshift gym in my study and began my workout, pushing my body to the limit. Every punch I threw was a way to clear my mind. But as the minutes ticked by, her face kept flashing in my thoughts. Madeline. Her eyes. Her strength. Her vulnerability. Elyan's voice echoed in the back of my mind. Was I already falling for her? I clenched my fists tighter, trying to shake off the thought. There was no room for distractions. The time f

    MADELINE'S POV What was happening!!! Everything was happening in a whim. It all looked like something out of a movie scene. My initial reaction was one of shock and total disbelief. Rosaline didn't waste time. She dragged me out the pack square chaos. She barked orders to some warrior wolves to escort me back to the mansion. I instinctively placed my hands on my growing bump as we moved. The distant sounds of snarling, breaking bones and primal roars sent shudders down my spine. We were halfway to the mansion when a rogue wolf appeared, already shifted and ready to attack. It's eyes gleamed with brutality, and its snarls were chilling. The warrior wolves charged forward, but the rogue was much stronger than them. In seconds, it knocked them all down, it's sharp canines tearing into their flesh. Horror and terror paralyzed me. I couldn't move. The rogue turned its attention to me, baring its teeth and growling low. As it stepped closer, I instinctively stepped back. I ke

  • Contracted Mate To Alpha Konan   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    ALPHA KONAN'S POV I sat alone in my study, the events of the last few days replaying in my mind like a relentless storm. Most especially, I couldn’t shake the image of Madeline—trembling, disoriented. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions—rage, confusion, helplessness. The weight of the surprise attack weighed on me. Everyone was demanding answers, especially the pack members whose lives had been endangered. They’d all come out to show their undying love and support, and now they were left with questions I didn’t have answers to. The attack seemed too well-coordinated to be a coincidence. There had to be a mole in the pack. Someone who knew the ins and outs of our operations. Someone close. Damien had to be my prime suspect. He would do anything, any way, to get what he wanted. He had suggested the duel, and the people who supported him might have been in on it too. The duel could have been a distraction, a ploy while they carried out their attack. But in the same breath, Damie

His face still carried the bruises from that fight.Everyone bowed in respect, including me. He just nodded, as expected of an Alpha. No words. His eyes caught mine briefly.

    MADELINE'S POVThe silence that followed was drawn thin like a bowstring aiming for its target. Warrior Wolves on both sides grew rigid. It was as if the earth stopped its rotation to watch.I met Alpha Konan and beckoned to him not to do this. Instead, he ignored me like I was some trash to be disposed."Really? Konan. A duel?" Alpha Novare said, tightening the piece of cloth on his wrist.Alpha Konan didn't waste time. He stalked to the sparring circle and peeled off his shirt as if it offended him.Both of them were now shirtless, carved from pure grit and bloodlines, sweet and moist like candy. This was not the first time I had seen them shirtless, but the warm rising sun was unforgivingly honest, highlighting their Greek god features.It wasn't just me. Other women around. Even the male warrior wolves pretended to be unaffected, but I could feel the temperature spike.Still, in my own realm, the fight started. It didn't just start, it detonated.They didn't move like men. They mo

    ROSALINE'S POVMy body morphed back, skin stinging from the shift. My clothes hung in tatters, but I cared less.Gabriel, on the other hand,, stood there, staring with an infuriating grin."That same scent..." he said dramatically, inhaling like an idiot. That same lithe, bossy little frame—but today...I swear, you look stunningly sexier, even in your tattered clothes.I hissed between my teeth. "Why did you follow me into the woods?"He shrugged. "Saw a rogue wolf tearing through Crescent Pack lands. Wanted to make sure it wasn't some rogue.""You wish, don't you? I questioned curtly. Why weren't you at the meeting?"He cocked his head, his infuriating grin, spreading wider now to his nose and ears. "Some strategist missed me. You did, didn't you?"His words slithered cunningly through the forest air. Rose moved aimlessly and restlessly within. Always perfidious when it came to Gabriel."There are other capable male wolves out there, ones who surpass your abilities all around, one wh

    MADELINE'S POV I was still reeling. Everything had happened so fast. As the two Alphas left, everyone began to trickle out. Some scoffed, while others glanced at me with a newfound curiosity. The rumor about my subtle disrespect was already making rounds like dry, winter fire, twisting through both packs. My body aches for rest. I made my way towards the guest quarters, and a familiar shadow stood like a wall, waiting on the path. Louisiana, always the same, ready to mock me at any turn, asked with a profound derision. "What are you doing back here? Still can't get enough of Crescent Pack? Why are you back here as a damn diplomat?" I forced out a confident smile. Why don't you ask your Alpha? He still keeps crucial information from you, Luna?" She rolled her eyes dramatically and hissed. "The proposals about the new pack agreement are solid. It's a good plan, peace between Packs." I was thrown over the roof for a second. I wasn't expecting acknowledgement from anyone,

    ALPHA GRITUS POVI paced the room continuously, like a caged beast. My mind was a battlefield, torn between rage and helplessness.The words kept replaying in my mind. "Godfather has been captured."Captured. I could see it all clearly—him bound and shackled, bleeding from the hands of Alpha Konan and Oceanwolf Pack bastards.Godfather wasn't the kind of man to beg. They would torture him, humiliate him, drag out every bit of useful information he had, I knew that much. He wasn't going to talk easily, but they would stretch him, until he would spill out every damn secret we had, jeopardizing our plan.The rage bristling within me, a force that made me want to reach out and strangle the life out of the world around me.Nurse Maude stepped in, moving with a gait that irritated me, like she could not see the storm brewing.I took deliberate steps towards her. She didn't flinch at the fury in my eyes when I locked it onto hers. She looked too calm, so calm. Instead, she spoke, straight to

    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.

    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
