AFTER SIX MONTHS(PRESENTLY) MADELINE'S POV The servant lady escorted me to the place where people sentenced to hard labor live and thrive, known as the penal pier—my new abode. As I approached the rugged paths that led to the penal pier, my heart was heavy and torn apart. The weight of guilt and shame shrouded me for been unable to take care of my baby. I walked with heavy steps and the air was thick and suffocating. The chill wind made my hair slap across my face and the sight of penal pier's ramshackle buildings and dilapidated shelters was a dismal sight to behold, sending shivers down my spine. At the entrance of the penal pier, two burly men stood guard. Their size and expressions giving me another wave of if fear. They were the Penal Pier masters. "I will leave you here miss Madeline. The penal pier masters will attend to you from here on," the servant lady said. One of the men spoke, his voice gruff. " Is she the one who dared kill the alpha's baby," "Yes she is," the s
GODFATHER'S POV I was so anxious. Kong was taking so much time to return and just as I was about to lose patience, Kong entered. "Kong, what's the situation in Oceanwolf pack. Was Petra's mission successful?" "Yes Godfather, it was perfectly executed, and for now, there's no suspicion. I internally let out a sigh of victory. "Now our plan can move onto the next level. We are finally free from Alpha Gritus's grip. "Kong, you can now send a message back to Alpha Gritus 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. Should we to release her now?" "No!!! I answered 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 and things begin to go
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, but it's also been rumored she was nothing more than a servant girl who worked in the mansion—a far cry from being your true mate," the first elder declared, his voice thick with accusation. "And what has that got to do with any of you?" I questioned coldly. "It has everything to do with us all!" the first elder snapped. "How can the alpha of a pack, the leader of Oceanwolf pack lead a life of deceit? Do you have any idea the shame it will bring to us in the mouths of other packs?" I clenched my jaw, irritation bubbling. "You violated one of the sacred traditions of werewolves and you think it's that simple?"No, alpha. Your actions itself could invoke the wrath of the Moon Goddess herself." Murmurs of agreement circulated through the meeting as the first elder continued. "Take a look at the recent happenings going on in the pack. From the pa
ALPHA KONAN'S POV I 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. He squirmed under my glare. "Apart from our leader, there's another man, someone powerful, 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." "Go on," I commanded. "All I know 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. Someone close enough to know everything," he said anxiously. I rubbed my palms together. A spy. I had known for weeks, sensing betrayal close. This confirmation, though not enough, solidified my suspicions. The man before me knew little information about who was
PETRA'S POV. Here I stood, standing face to face with Godfather. Copro and Kong were nowhere in sight. His eyes were narrowed and his expression revealed hints of malice masked by a facade of pity. "I am sorry Petra, he said. 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 gave me your word. 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, he said shaking his head as though amused by my naivety. You are mistaken Petra. I neve
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 with a forced cheerfulness. "I heard the Alpha is coming to supervise 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 nerves I had been trying to suppress surged back with revenge. "I have to move along. Everything must be in order," Grandma Catherine continued, her voice tinged with urgency. "Look for the best time to explain yourself to Alpha Konan, she added. 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 was not a murderer and can never be one. I wanted to tell him things weren't adding up even when all the evidences were pointin
ALPHA KONAN'S POV I couldn't sleep all night. The emotions swirling within me refused to let me rest. Madeline's rejection had caught me off guard. How dare she!!! I needed distraction, a lot of it. I so much craved for an outlet, a physical outlet to undo the anger and frustration trying to camp within me. I headed down to the pack training grounds. I hoped the sight of disciplined warriors honing their skills would remind me of the order I demanded in my life. But what I saw only deepened my anger. Scattered warriors milled about aimlessly, some lounging, others chatting idly. Not one of them noticed my presence. I stood there, watching them for a moment, disappointed. They were supposed to be our first line of defense against attacks. Instead, they were wasting precious time. "What is the meaning of this," I bellowed angrily. Everyone went still. Their face a mixture of surprise and fear was lined on their faces, as they scrambled to form a line. They bowed in unison, greet
MADELINE'S POV I was bent over, breaking stones in the quarry as usual, my hands number from the repetitive motion. A faint tap on my shoulder didn't register nor the second one. "Madeline!!!" The sound of my name rang sharply in my ears jolted me back to reality. I looked up, startled, and saw grandma Catherine staring at me with concern. "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?" She asked gently. I forced a smile, hoping it would mask the whirlwind in my mind. "There's no need to worry grandma Catherine, I am fine." She studied me for a moment, her brows furrowed, before nodding. "If you insist, I will go go ahead and continue my work. But take care of yourself child." "Of course. Be careful too," I called after her, watching her walk away before returning to my task." The physical labor was supposed to quiet my mind, but it didn't. My last encounter with alpha Konan kept playing a loo
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. I snapped back to the present.I found bo
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
