GODFATHER'S POVI was so anxious. Kong was taking so much time to return and fortunately, Kong entered."Kong, what's the situation in Oceanwolf pack. Was Petra's mission successful?""Yes Godfather, it was perfectly done and void of any form of suspicion for now.I internally let out a sigh of victory."Now our plan can move onto the next level. We are finally off alpha Gritus grip."Kong, you can now send a message back to Godfather that the mission was successful and we can advance onto the next plan."I will do that immediately godfather," Kong replied.Kong hastily left the cottage to deliver the news."Godfather, Copro called. What do we do about Petra's sister. Are we to release her now?"No!!! I replied defiantly. We can't give Petra her sister just yet. She has to remain with us till this is all over. We still need Petra to carry out our missions and we also need her to be our shield incase she gets caught eventually and things begin to go awry."Godfather, Petra isn't that t
ALPHA KONAN'S POV"Alpha Konan, we demand answers!!!""It has come to our notice that your mate, Madeline lost the child. Not only that, it is clearly rumored that she was a servant girl who worked in the mansion and never your real mate to begin with," the first elder said."And what has that got to do with any of you," I questioned coldly."It has a lot to do with us all," the first elder continued."How can the alpha of a pack, the leader of Oceanwolf pack lead a life of deceit? Have you ever considered the shame it will bring to us in the mouths of other packs?"You violated one of the sacred traditions of werewolves and you think it's that simple?""No alpha. I am here to tell you that your actions has the possibility of incurring the wrath of the moon goddess on us.""Take a look at the recent happenings going on in the pack. From the pack square attack, to incessant attacks at the pack borders and to you losing your child. There's a hint of chaos in every corner of the pack and
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI am from a pack of rogue wolves, and I am second in command."This information is past me already. Tell me exactly what I need to know. On whose orders do you act on," I questioned coldly."Apart from our leader, there's another man who pays us handsomely and contracts us to wreak havoc, attack vulnerable packs or kill people. I don't know his name and I haven't seen his face before.""All I am sure of, is that the man pays us handsomely for every job well done. He is someone of a high status. But there should be something you should be wary of. There's a spy living in your pack giving crucial information to the man in question," he said in his anxiety filled voice.I was far from been surprised when he blurted the word spy. I had the feeling that there was a spy lurking around—very close that it would be very easy for the spy to get informations.The man before me knew little information about who was operating in the shadows. I had made my confirmation with him, an
PETRA'S POVAnd here I was, standing face to face with Godfather, Copro and Kong were not in sight.His eyes were narrowed and his expression revealed hints of malice masked by a facade of pity."I am sorry Petra, I can't grant you the request of releasing your sister to you. Be rest assured, she's in safe hands," he replied smoothly, his voice dripping with dark deceit.My heart closed up as I stood and stared defiantly at Godfather."Godfather, it is lame for you to go back on a promise made. You promised to hand my sister back to me if I successfully carried out the mission. C'mon Godfather, look at everything.Alpha Konan is devastated, Madeline is suffering bitterly, and Oceanwolf pack is on the brink of chaos. The results are depicting exactly what you want"Godfather chuckled confidently.The sound of his chuckles left me in total disbelief."No, no. You are mistaken Petra. I never promised to hand your sister over to you. I only said she gets to live if you carry out the missio
MADELINE'S POV"Madeline, how are you doing today," Grandma Catherine asked as she passed my lunch to me from the food trolley."I am doing great," grandma Catherine I responded heartily."I heard the alpha is coming for a supervision in the penal pier today, regarding the last accident that happened."I felt a twinge of nervousness at the mention of alpha Konan's visit. The ripples of anxiety flowed freely through me, without barriers."I have to move along. It is mandatory that everything is kept in order," grandma Catherine said."Look for the best time and opportunity to explain yourself to alpha Konan. The penal pier is not a sweet place for a sweet lady like you. Grandma catherine patted me on the shoulder and trudged along."Ever since the tragedy, I have been wanting to see him, to explain myself, to tell him that I am not a murderer and can never be one. I wanted to tell him things weren't adding up even when all the evidences were pointing straight at me.I could hear footfal
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI couldn't sleep a wink all night. I wanted to explore the incomprehensible feelings I was already having for Madeline. I threw my advances straight to Madeline and she rejected. My emotions were a well formed mixture of surprise and anger. I could still feel the tinge of pain from her feisty action.How dare she!!!I needed distraction, a whole of it. I so much craved for an outlet, an outlet to undo the gnawing anger and frustration trying to camp within me—something that requires me to exert rigorous physical energy.I headed down to the pack training grounds, to see how the warrior wolves were faring. As I approached the field, I saw them scattered in different directions. They didn't even notice my presence.I stood and watched. What an unexpected sight!!!Instantly, surges of disappointment washed over me aggravating my already present anger. I came to the pack training grounds hoping to see them train like never before."What exactly is the meaning of this," I
MADELINE'S POVI 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.
ALPHA KONAN’S POVThe air was crisp and clean, tinged with moisture from the late afternoon rain. My paws sank slightly into the earth, the leaves crunching beneath me. The familiar feeling, which usually grounded me and connected me with nature, wasn’t working today.Nothing felt right.I pushed myself harder, forcing my legs to move faster. But no matter how much I tried to outrun it, she was there, in every step, in every breath I took. Her memories from breakfast clung to me, following me through the day. They wouldn’t leave.Elyan, my wolf, snarled in frustration. His thoughts tangled with mine, making it hard to focus. He was restless, hungry for something I couldn’t give. His growl of protest echoed in my mind, but I couldn’t let him take over again, not like he had during breakfast. I was glad she hadn’t noticed.She had been bold in the pack meeting, I’d give her that. Wearing that same dress—the one she wore when she first attended. Back then, I’d seen her as nothing more th
MADELINE’S POVI closed the door behind me. Alpha Konan didn’t say a word as he strode to his desk and sat down, not even sparing me a glance. His face was serious and stoic, like was ready to snap at any given second.“Was it because I spoke to uncle Damien?” Well, I don’t care. They should do well to sort their issues between themselves and also do well not to involve me. I decided to settle on the seat across him, then his voice came, sharp and commanding. “I never gave you the permission.” My body stiffened as my body was already halfway to the chair. I straightened myself back up and obeyed. This was not the time to play defiance. Alpha Konan pulled a stack of document towards him and began flipping through the page. As I stood opposite him, I studied him. He had become more tanner than before. More alluring and sexy. He had now developed a new behavior, running his index fingers on his ever present creases on his forehead. Each crease signifying the burden of his position. He
MADELINE'S POVAfter the weird breakfast with Alpha Konan, I prepared for the pack meeting. Then a thought crept in. Since Alpha Konan had decided to introduce me as the diplomat in front of the pack elders, the same pack elders that prejudiced me, how about I make a statement?I stared at myself in the mirror, the emerald green open-back gown. The dress was as good as new. I made sure I packed my hair and my make-up in the same way, just like that time. As I stepped into the corridor, Alpha Konan was already on the way there. His eyes landed on my dress, and for a moment, I saw something shift in his expression. It was either amusement or admiration."The dress still looks good on you, just like that time. Fall into step beside me, he subtly commanded."I did and stepped beside him."Right now, the story's different. We are walking into the great hall as Alpha and diplomat. Quite fortunate and amusing," he remarked.I said nothing. Instead, I lifted my chin.The door to the great ha
GODFATHER'S POV"Madeline has returned to Oceanwolf pack," I informed Alpha Gritus."Madeline?" he asked, his interest piqued."Yes," I affirmed. Not only has she returned, but she's now placed in a key role. She's been appointed diplomat between Crescent Pack and Oceanwolf Pack. She's now part of an integral part of their pack politics."A slow smile crept across his face. This is very convenient, Alpha Gritus murmured. Alpha Konan allowed this?""Not willingly. Alpha Novare might have forced his hand, I replied. Madeline's new role is the perfect bridge between the two packs, and if we play this right, it could also be a perfect tool to turn Crescent Pack away from Alpha Konan and Oceanwolf Pack. Her position is very delicate. She's new to politics. A single mistake on her part could bring chaos. If we can push her into making such a mistake or make it appear as though she has, it will make our work easier.""Konan is a fool, isn't he? Keeping his weakness by his side. He allowed Ma
MADELINE'S POVIt was late afternoon when I finally closed the last document. A tired yet satisfying smile played on my lips. The pile of papers seemed impossible at first glance. Each page was filled with diplomatic jargon that made my head spin. But as I read through them, I began to understand the importance of my task.The words written in the documents were not just ordinary papers. They were the foundation of trust and cooperation between both packs. Alpha Konan wasn't wrong when he said there would be chaos at the slightest mistake.Alpha Konan stepped into his study room."What did you find, little diplomat? he said casually.This was new, his time was too casual.I have identified different issues, but there are three major ones. If they aren't addressed, they could cause serious problems for both packs.He raised an eyebrow and I took it as a cue to continue."The first issue is the issue of overseeing each pack's resources. Right now, the clause gives Crescent Pack control o
ALPHA KONAN’S POV"It's been a long time since we both went for a run. Something is bothering you, isn't it?" Rosaline asked, panting heavily.It wasn't often I ran with Rosaline. Only when I needed to clear my head or when something bothered me enough to seek her sharp advice. Today, the problem is the former."Madeline is bothering you, right?" Rosaline asked.I leaned against the tree, staring out into the dark woods, saying nothing."I assume you've read Novare's letter," Rosaline pressed on."I have," I replied curtly.I had expected Novare to pull a stunt like this. I knew he wasn't going to let Madeline go completely, tying her to both packs as a diplomat. It was clever, it gave him leverage while making it look fair.But, he didn't know me well enough. What he thought was his move, was mine."She's back in your territory, but not under your control, Rosaline said. You shouldn't behave like the asshole you were once before. Use this time well.""I am not going to control Madeli
MADELINE’S POV It was time. Time to return back to Oceanwolf pack. Three years had passed, yet it felt like as if i had spent a lifetime here. Memories of Oceanwolf pack came rushing back, and with them, it was a mix of emotions I couldn’t quite name. Nostalgia. Fear. Anger. Courage. It was all tangled together in such a way that made my heart heavy. But I was no longer the same girl. The same naïve, servant girl that everyone could trample on. I had grown past that. I had changed. I had molded myself into something stronger. But still, the thought of walking back to Oceanwolf pack made me tremble, leaving me with uncertainties, and there was one last chain I needed to break. Alpha Konan. He was my final prison, the one tie to the person I used to be. I don’t know what would happen when I saw him again, but I did know one thing. I wasn’t going back to serve him or anyone. I thought back my time here in Crescent pack. From the first day I came in, to the Stealth and Stalk t
MADELINE’S POVToday is Louisiana’s Luna ceremony. I wasn’t surprised when I got a message from her, early in the morning. I wasn’t eager to go, but ignoring her wasn’t an option.Her room was bustling when I arrived. Servants swarmed around her, fixing every detail of her outfit—the rose pink dress that hugged her in the right places, the heavy gold necklace on her neck, even the tiniest strand of her hair. Louisiana stood in front of the full-length mirror, soaking up the attention. She was born for it, anyway.“Everyone out,” she commanded suddenly.The maids stood, unsure if they heard her right, before scurrying out like frightened nice. I stood near the door, watching her, until the last servant left. Finally, she turned to me smirking.“What do you think?” she asked, gesturing to her dress.I glanced at the dress. It was beautiful, no doubt, but there was something about the way she asked that made it feel more than a question.“It looks…nice,” I replied cautiously.Her laug
MADELINE’S POV The room grew eerily quiet. All eyes snapped to Louisiana, her voice cutting through the air with an unexpected force. “Why don’t we let her finish?” she snapped, her words sharp like a whip. “The general pack meeting is about addressing grievances. I, too, have something to air.” I noticed the pack elders exchange quick, uneasy glances, their expressions tense. They hadn’t expected this. Their faces were filled with a mixture of concern and annoyance. Alpha Novare, usually calm and collected, seemed confused, his eyes locked on Louisiana. I could see the questions running through his mind, but he was waiting. Louisiana, however, didn’t flinch. She stood tall, her gaze sharp, as if she were daring anyone to challenge her. “I need to clear the air about something,” she began, her tone cold. “I know what people say about me. You all think I’m a fake, don’t you?” She let the words hang in the air, watching the pack’s reaction. “That I’m not really Alpha Novare’s mat
