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

    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

    GODFATHER'S POV It's been ages alpha Gritus had summoned me. Answering to his summons, uneasiness got the better part of me. Alpha Gritus has been the bane in my life, the bane for my greediness. If greediness could make me survive in this harsh, cold world. I was ready to be a servant to alpha Gritus. The mere mention of alpha Gritus sends shivers down the spine of anyone who knows him. He was highly revered in the dark world for his gruesome experiment with wolves, people of his own kind. He is well known for his depravity and the cruelty he was capable of. He is someone you could tag as crazy and insane—his heart black as the night sky. Alpha Gritus had deep seated hatred for Oceanwolf pack. He had waged a long and bitter war against them in the shadows and he had sworn to entirely destroy them and annihilate them from the surface of the earth. Since he had given me another chance to live, I decided to pledge my allegiance to him. Because of my faithfulness and loyalty, he entru

"With all your examinations done in the past few days, you are now better. Miss Madeline, you didn't particularly suffer from face blindness. You suffered from post traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD. It is due to the extreme stress you subjected yourself to." "Your brain deciding not to remember people's face for the time being was because of the bad experience you witnessed and according to what you told me, you have been kidnapped and you witnessed the last pack attack in your condition. So it was very likely to happen." "But not to worry ma'am, I can see you have been punctual with your drugs and I am happy you can recognize the details on people's face clearly now." "Thank you so much doctor," I happily replied. "And Doctor please can you keep my coming here a secret?" "You me

    MADELINE'S POV I sat on my bed, cradling my swollen belly. Something was wrong. Ever since I consumed the herbal tonic, everything went wrong and awry. I hadn't felt my baby's pulse in hours. This was very strange. I wasn't sure what, but I could feel it deep down that something was wrong. Confusion clouded my mind, my thoughts were muddled. Fear gripped my heart and I couldn't bring myself still. Maybe it was just my imagination, maybe it was tiredness seeping in. I tried to push the negative thoughts away. My mind swirled with terrifying possibilities. I needed to convince myself that everything was fine. I decided to indulge myself. Maybe reading a book could gnaw away my anxiety. Around midnight, I was woken up by a sharp pain on my abdomen. It felt like a knife had been thrusted in to the side of my stomach, my baby twisted and turned. I let out a gasp of pain, doubling over as the sensation overwhelmed me. I tried getting myself off the bed, but it was very difficult. The pa

    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

    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
