MADELINE'S POV

I was bent over, breaking stones in the quarry as usual. I was tapped twice on the shoulder, and there was no response from me.

"Madeline!!!"

The sound of my name echoing right into my ear drums jolted me and brought me back to reality.

I looked around and I found grandma Catherine looking at me quizzically.

"Madeline, you have been out of it for days now. I have been trying to get your attention for a while. Are you sure you are okay," grandma Catherine asked.

"There's no need to worry grandma Catherine. I am fine." I told her while forcing a smile.

"Since you insist Madeline, I will go on ahead and continue my work."

"Alright grandma Catherine. Be careful while working," I said after her and continued with my own work.

My last encounter with alpha Konan was one I couldn't reckon with. I kept asking myself the same question over and over again. Was his actions a bid to punish me or was he interested in me romantically?

Romantically?

Did I just think of romance with the

    MADELINE'S POVHands akimbo coupled with her intimidating physique and imposing aura, Rosaline stood in front of me."I confronted Petra about your miscarriage," Rosaline interjected.I scoffed. "I never agreed to cooperate with you. Without my cooperation and permission, you have no right to confront Petra about her involvement in my miscarriage. You could be backing up the wrong tree, you know."Rosaline tutted shallowly."I don't need your permission or your cooperation at the very least to confront an impending danger going in the pack. I am having this conversation with you because I want to.""You are unwilling to cooperate and for the record, I don't back up wrong trees," Rosaline implied confidently. My sources have seen Petra sneak out of the pack at night and return before dawn, not once, not twice.""I had to confront her to confirm my suspicions and gather evidences swiftly. For now, I think you need to have a major rethink for the love and loyalty you have towards Petra.

A sense of relief and fear came over me.I visited Godfather and I noticed that Kong and Copro were not in sight.

One empty and the other one with something written on it.

    PETRA'S POVMy eyes slit open gradually as I struggled to get accustomed to the environment for the umpteenth time. I have been held captive for three days straight and I was practically drained of every form of strength.The air was thick and suffocating and the room was dimly lit. The silver shackles on my hands and legs sizzled and burned my flesh. If I was going to survive my irrevocable predicament, the scars were going to be ever present for life. My back hurts so bad because of the punishment meted to me by the whip. The mixture of blood and body fluid matted to my cotton cloth escalated the pain anytime I tried to move.I remembered penning down a letter to godfather before I thought of fleeing, three days had passed like eternity and there was no response up till now. I told him in the letter that I had been compromised and I needed help to get myself out of the mess.Here and here, realization dawned on me. It dawned heavily on me like the morning sun and the weight of my su

    GODFATHER'S POVMy eyes darted across the room, but I was more fixated on the huge mahogany table where the food was placed. The huge mahogany table was one that always caught my fancy. Crafted from fine mahogany wood, the table surface smooth, polished, and reflecting light showcased its beauty of sturdy, sleek design.I was here again, alpha Gritus den. The room was filled with eerie silence—a silence likened to the silence of the unknown. The silence was broken by the often clink of silver ware against china ware. I stood opposite godfather as he savored and ate with graceful poise. The way he ate was measured with precision, with each cut of the meat the same as the last. His movements were deliberate and controlled just like a robot. He ate just like a predator patiently stalking its prey.I watched in anxiety as he finished his meal and drank the expensive red wine in his glass in one gulp, and wiped the residue off his mouth with a napkin.He rolled his tongue all over his mou

Maybe this was my form of punishment for prying into his private affairs. ".....What?" I whispered out in confusion. "Why what? You didn't hear me right?" he asked. "Listen and listen attentively. I will repeat myself again just once." "I like you Madeline." That was it. I wasn't mistaken. I heard right. I sat there, my heart hammering in my chest. My mind went for a spin. He likes me? "Cat got your tongue," alpha Novare asked casually, with a grin evident on his face. The tug of shock and amusement deepened on my face and it was damn obvious. I stared at him, trying so hard to guage his intentions. His expressions began to shift back to the cold authority I was accustomed to. The casual grin he had flashed moments ago had disappeared. It was like watching him reverting to the alpha Novare I knew, but I couldn't help but b

    MADELINE'S POV Ever since my confrontation with Louisiana, I haven't seen her. But I could feel her anger hovering around like the storm cloud. I could feel the way the others looked at me, quick glances and whispers behind my back. No one spoke anything to me directly. The moment the words left my mouth, I knew there was no going back. I was in for shit and Louisiana would be out for my blood. "You really gave Louisiana a hit, Freya said. You were the only one who had the boldness of a lion to confront Louisiana concerning the rumors in such manner. You are totally different now. You have finally removed the cloak of naivety. Congratulations Madeline!!!, but don't get too comfortable." Just as I had thought to take a rest, a knock was heard at the door. Alpha Novare had summoned me. My heart leapt in terror, but I followed obediently. While on my way, I met madam Apricot. She stared at me squarely and her sharp eyes never missed a detail.

    MADELINE'S POVI winced as Freya dabbed the wet antiseptic cloth against the wound on my arm. I could feel Freya's eyes on me, glancing up from time to time to where Louisiana sat at the far end of the camp with someone tending to her wounds."You got something on your mind," I asked Freya."Beat me, she exhaled. There's something different about Louisiana. What happened between you two?""Nothing," I replied her. I didn't want to talk about it or talk about the mission either. "Maybe she's still rattled from the fight," I added.Freya narrowed her eyes. "You are telling me, that Louisiana is rattled because of a fight? The same Louisiana who never misses a chance to remind us that's she's the toughest in the pack? Louisiana behaves like an asshole, but she isn't one to run away or be rattled because of a fight. You know you make a bad liar, don't you?"I didn't answer right away. I knew the words I said to Louisiana had struck a chord of reflection or better still, more intense hatre

Louisiana huffed in frustration.The poison had seeped deep into our system and transforming to our wolf form could not be attainable. "What are we going to do," I asked softly but loud enough for Louisiana to hear."We have nothing to do than fight them off physically."The surrounding flickered with a faint light from a worn out, old lamp. The faint light exposed three bulky men, thrice our size with hardened expressions. They towered over us, clearly confident in their build. The odds were against us, but that didn't matter."Seems they broke free. Feisty, just the way I love my women to be, the lead captor sneered with his folded arms across his chest. Do you really think you can take us trio on?" he asked, his fingers pointing at the three of them."Why don't you come try," Louisiana dared.Fright overcame me. "Louisiana, I whispered into her ear. We are at odds here, so I suggest we talk it ou

    MADELINE'S POVMy eyes stung as I blinked them open, the dull ache in my head throbbed at every slight beat of my pulse. Darkness hovered around me. The air was thick and stale, carrying the scent of damp earth and rot. My body felt heavy, as if I had been dragged through the forest for miles.And yes, I remembered been dragged before I blanked out.It wasn't until I tried to move that I realized my wrists were bound tightly behind my back. My vision cleared immediately. The more I moved, the more the coarse rope bit deeply into my skin. It weakend me the more and I winced , feeling the painful strain on my shoulders.

    MADELINE'S POVAs the night deepened, the air around the camp grew colder. The camp fire crackled, casting shadows on the faces of the warrior wolves present. Sera, sat in a corner and Freya talked to a group of other warrior wolves. I kept glancing back and forth at Sera, and I couldn't help but think that something went wrong when she went to gather firewoods in the woods."Everyone gather up," Louisiana said. Immediately everyone pulled together. When she was sure everyone was together, she divided us into two groups. One group which was headed by Freya, would stay behind to monitor the camp, manning the perimeter to ensure no threats crept up unnoticed. The other group, led by Louisiana, would push forward into the dark, rough terrain to patrol and check for any signs of threat or danger.And guess what, I was in the group led by Louisiana. Honestly, I had expected Louisiana to pick me. It was just the kind of thing she would do, dragging me along to test me, without rest, to see

    MADELINE'S POVFreya was right. The terrain was unforgiving as Louisiana herself—jagged rocks that seemed to rise out of nowhere and twisted roots around the paths, gnarled at my boots making every step a challenge.I occasionally looked back at Sera to check if she was keeping up, but it was very obvious she was struggling more than the others. You could notice from her small frame that her breaths came in short, sharp gasps, her face pale and strained. But yet she made tremendous effort to keep up—refusing to fall behind.Freya fell into steps beside me. Her brows furrowed as she too, glanced over Sera. "She's visibly flagging Madeline. Leaving her behind in the pack would have been the best for her and you. I don't think she can last longer than this."I nodded. "I know, I said. There's really no going back. Is there?""Louisiana isn't going to slow down for you or anyone," Freya said as she trudged ahead."Keep up, or you will be left behind!!!" Louisiana called back, her tone lac

"She's trying to spite you, Madeline. Refuse it, no offense.""Refuse what!!!" I asked."Does anyone have any objections with the warrior wolves enlisted to go on this border patrol mission," Louisiana's voice echoed.There were murmurs within the crowd, but no one objected."This marks the end of today's training. We are to gather here before dawn to begin our journey.""Why didn't you say anything. You could have objected to going on this mission. This mission is very dangerous. The terrain isn't one to be trifled with. Most times we encounter dangers that cause grievous injuries—worst case scenario, death. You aren't yet qualified to be part of this mission. Most times, we don't know how long we will be gone for."I scoffed."My refusal to go, only gives Louisiana more ammunition against me.""And she's
