ALPHA KONAN'S POV. My mind currently was a raging inferno of fury. The backdrop story Madeline shared ignited nothing short of burning rage. I could feel the flames erupting, licking at the edges of my sanity, threatening to consume everything in its path. Petra had a lot to answer. I knew something was wrong the very day I saw Madeline sprawled on my bed naked. I replayed the memory of that night over and over again. Each detail was vivid,, each one damning than the last. I stormed down the stairs until I reached the room where Petra was held captive. I pushed open the doors. The intensity of my emotions went from rage to confusion in seconds. Petra's lifeless body lay before me I gave Rosaline and everyone present a questioning look. "What the hell happened here?" I demanded forcefully. Rosaline stepped forward, her expression a mix of guilt and remorse. " Alpha Konan, we believe it is a case of suicide," Rosaline replied. I stared at everyone in complete disdain an
ALPHA KONAN'S POV My chair backed the study table, I ran my fingers on my forehead and felt the evident wrinkles on it. My eyes were heavy, a proof of the temporary insomnia I had been experiencing the past few days. How was I supposed to sleep peacefully with all the problems the pack was facing? Rosaline was in my study, apologizing for her mistake repeatedly. I was still trying to reel in my emotions. "Your apologies have nothing to solve," I spoke, tired of listening to her apologies. "The deed had already been done, and I am finding it hard to forgive you. But since this is your first grave mistake, I am willing to let it go. Make sure this is your first and last mistake. Do you understand?" "Yes alpha Konan," Rosaline replied. "You can leave," I told her. I swiveled the chair back to its original position, and I saw the memo from Crescent Pack. Alpha Novare's friendly visit to our pack is coming in a few days. "Novare," I muttered. "The mansion has been chaotic since
MADELINE’S POV I felt cornered, helpless against the pull of his presence. His lips brushed mine maliciously, stealing the little power I had left. My body, traitorous as it was, responded against my will. A shiver ran down my spine as his tongue trailed along my neck, hovering just long enough to send a wave of heat through me. When his teeth grazed the deep of my collarbone, a soft moan escaped my lips before I could stop it. I hated myself for that sound. Why was my body betraying me? Why did it crave the touch of someone who had caused me nothing but pain and despair? Alpha Konan dangerous smile deepened, his eyes glinting with satisfaction. “See princess? Your body knows what it wants. Even you can’t deny it.” I curled my hand into fists, willing myself to resist, but my knees felt weak. The heat pooling inside me was undeniable, threaten to trickle down my thighs and no amount of self-loathing could stop it. His body pressed into mine, assaulting it. I could feel the har
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI couldn't get her off my head. Last night escapade was one I didn't plan, but it was damn—good. Her fair skin glistened under the dimly lit room. I remembered her very sharp seductive moans, they still gave me a hard on. The feeling I had when I buried myself full into her, with her pelvic muscles tightening around my shaft."Shit," I muttered, almost having another orgasm from just thinking about our encounter.Only I had the rights to stretch her in that manner. I also resolved to take her last night to imprint a mark on her innocent mind. I wanted her to know who she belonged to, I wanted her to know the person capable of making her feel that way, and also I wanted to punish her for her feisty attitude the last time I summoned her to my room. If she was smart enough, she would know she was off bounds and nobody needed to come close, even uncle Damien. I was going to teach her how to reciprocate my building feelings I had towards her, and never should she run awa
MADELINE'S POVThis was the night I had chosen, the nights of all nights, the night I had chosen to regain my freedom by hook or by crook. I had finally decided to abscond from Oceanwolf Pack. My heart raved with pure excitement and vivid fear.I had devised a plan to slip away unnoticed, a plan no one knew of. I was convinced that I had done my homework and accounted for any obstacle that would come my way.When the household were all asleep and inactive, I gathered the little luggage I had and headed towards the crooked gravel path leading to the western borders. The western borders were more at peace compared to the other borders, and was not heavily armed with warrior wolves. Although the border led to the dense forests which was home to brutal rogue wolves, I was ready to take the risk for my happiness.As I approached the western borders, my hopes were dashed by the sudden appearance of a group of wolves whom I recognized as warrior wolves. They detected me with their keen senses
MADELINE'S POVIt's been days since I started working in the alpha's mansion. I had little or nothing to do compared to when I was stationed at the servants' quarters. Even now that I was close to alpha Konan, he was rarely seen around. But I could tell he had people watching my every move.Sometimes I sit and wonder why alpha konan could take a liking to me, or was he joking? Liking for what exactly? That was his own cup of coffee anyways. I hadn't given up on my plan to leave the pack. I was only an obedient servant so I could plan my next strategy and leave the pack for good.This fateful morning, I went about my normal business as I cleaned off the dust on the staircase railings. I overheard some of the servants discussing alpha Novare's arrival coming in two days time. They also enlightened me on the state of alpha Konan's and Alpha Novare's relationship. They were always at loggerheads with each other.Alpha Novare's arrival day could be the perfect time to abscond from the pack
ROSALINE'S POVShock rippled through me as I found Gabriel, my mate beside alpha Novare. I was aware he was a beta, but never in my imagination did it occur to me that he was second in command to alpha Novare of crescent pack.All through the welcome dinner, he stole glances at me to the point he made it obvious, making the few observant ones around the table to take note. For everytime he did that, I made sure I averted his gaze. It made me inexplicably unsettled. I was used to being the one in control, the one whose single glance could intimidate anyone, male or female alike. His gaze held a warmth that I couldn't quite comprehend, a depth that made me feel exposed and vulnerable.Instead of thinking of Gabriel, I busied myself with the task at hand. I was at the pack's training grounds, trying to settle the scuffle between different ranks and Gabriel strutted in."Talk of the devil," I scoffed and huffed.I signalled the warrior wolves present to leave and give us ample privacy, wh
MADELINE'S POVRosaline pulled me out of the meeting room forcefully. She didn't let me go until we came to a secluded part of the hallway."What was the meaning of what you did back there Madeline? Do you know the gravity of what you have done? You could have just kept your mouth shut and maintain your place as the servant girl that you are."The word servant girl drove me to the brink of insanity."What would you gave expected me to do? Stand and watch how I was been ridiculed and embarrassed and none of you lots from Oceanwolf pack could say a thing. You all are a whole bunch of hypocrites trying to save your asses whilst turning me to a sacrificial lamb," I retorted. My voice could be held several miles away."Listen Rosaline, this wouldn't have happened if alpha Konan had just left me to abscond without holding me back."Rosaline face showed signs of surprise."Wait Madeline, I don't get you. You mean you tried to abscond from the pack?"I withdrew for a while, then it dawned on
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 POVMy 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. I needed
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
GODFATHER'S POVI was in Alpha Gritus's den. He was seated in his usual place, and his presence always carried an edge of danger. It was something I was already used to, but I never forgot to act cautiously."She's doing exactly what I asked. She reports Madeline's activities to me promptly. So far, there has been no slip-up because I always double-check whatever information she brings to me."Alpha Gritus tilted his head slightly. I could see he was interested in the results I brought. Encouraged, I pressed on."She's also close to better her hands on the new agreement between Oceanwolf pack and Crescent pack. Once she does, we will sabotage it according to plans. The alliance between the two packs will crumble, and with it, alpha Konan, Madeline, and Oceanwolf pack will be finished."I saw a slow, satisfying smile spreading across Alpha Gritus's face, and I felt a surge of pride. It was this approval I was waiting for.But then, nurse Maude had to open her mouth."How can you be so
MADELINE'S POVEven though I had done everything to the wound, it wouldn't stop bleeding. There was no other option than to send him to the Pack Hospital.As soon as we entered, it unfolded into chaos. Doctors and nurses rushed towards him. Without a word, they whisked him away leaving me standing in the hallway, my hands still sticky with his blood. I stayed outside the door as I waited for him to be treated.Finally, the door creaked open, and the pack doctor stepped out. His face was calm, and I rushed to meet him halfway."How is he?" I asked."He is stable now. If it were a normal human, he would have died," the doctor said flatly. "But surely, it will take time to heal. You can go in and see him now if you want to."Did I want to? I wasn’t sure. My feet stayed rooted to the spot even as my mind screamed for me to turn around and go back to my quarters. After all, he had others who would come to check on him. He didn’t need me.Yet, my feet betrayed me, carrying me toward the doo
MADELINE'S POVAlpha Konan had been gone for weeks. I hadn't seen him since the day I rudely told him off at the Pack hospital.Those words had come from a raw place inside me, and once they were out, there was no taking them back. In fact, I didn't want to take them back. I thought they would make me feel better, and make him distance himself away from him, but all it had done was leave a bitter taste in my mouth.And then, he was nowhere to be found.At first, I noticed his absence in small ways—empty study, his commanding voice during pack meetings. But as the days stretched into weeks, the emptiness became worse. My wolf was always restless, pacing inside me like a caged animal.I tried to ignore it, to shove the ache down and focus on my daily life and life as a diplomat, but it didn't work.I couldn't stop thinking about him. One day, curiosity got the better part of me and I asked Rosaline about him. I tried to sound normal, though I doubt I pulled it off."He's out of the pack
MADELINE'S POVThe air in the pack hospital felt unnaturally still. Since I woke up, Alpha Konan hadn't left my side. At first, I thought nothing of his presence, but as time went on, it became overwhelming.Every time I opened my eyes, he was there, watching as if I might disappear if he blinked. The sight of him sleeping in that uncomfortable chair, head tilted awkwardly, warmed my heart and displeased me at the same time. I needed to make him leave."Alpha Konan," I called softly.His head shot up immediately, scanning my face."You are awake," he said in a groggy voice. "Do you need anything? Water? Or should I call the pack doctor?" He asked intermittently."I need nothing," I replied. "I am fine, better actually. You don't need to be by my bedside all the time."He frowned."I am not leaving, Madeline, until I am sure you are fully rested."His words sent shudders of unease through me. The last thing I wanted was to be a burden to Alpha Konan."I will be very fine on my own. Yo
