Madison, that is your name, right?"He asked with what she could easily refer to as arrogance. Did he not know her name at least before asking that they bundle her to him immediately?She did not reply. She lowered her head and let her eyes rest on his boots that had been polished so well that she could almost see her face in it."I said, is your name Madison Roberts?"He asked again, this time, his voice came out like a snarl and she looked up, into his mean, unsmiling face. She had made up her mind the moment she stepped into the pack, against her will, that she was not going to like him."Yes, I am Madison Roberts. I am disappointed, my lord, that you do not even know my name."She said without maintaining any form of eye contact with him. She heard the maid behind her gasp. He took one step closer to where she was sitting on a low stool, under the watch of the guards and remained there until she lifted her eyes to his face." Now listen, girl, I am Alpha Caden and do not enterta
Madison felt a jolt down her body when his lips made contact with hers. She stood transfixed on a spot as his firm lips claimed hers in a kiss that made her legs become jelly. She could not.Was he kissing her by way of introduction?As she stood in his arms, his hand went to the small of her back and pressed her to him, enclosing her in his hot embrace."Alpha Caden..."She muttered at last as she stepped away, her heart thumping wildly in her chest"You are Madison Roberts and I know you. I have tasted your lips now and I can tell you apart from other women." He said and strode off. She stood watching his back as he vanished into the night. When she found strength to walk back to the pack house, she was walking on pleasure weakened limbs."My lady! How totally pleasant to have you back inside."The servant who now seemed panicked said as she reached the hall."Come now, you must be with the alpha in his chambers. He has said that you will spend the night with him."Madison was sil
It came as a surprise to Alpha Caden when she pushed him away, realizing suddenly who he was."My lord." She said. " How did you find me?"He took a step back."That's immaterial right now. You know what you ought to do? Gather your skirts in your hands and let us go."She did not protest. She knew something was wrong and she had not just woken up in a cave.She ruminated over what could be possible reasons she was there until she was astride the horse with Alpha Caden. It came rushing to her then. She had been attacked while she was out in the woods. The whirlwind!Her wolf! She could not feel her within.They started out on the journey., Not speaking to each other at all, both in their different thoughts."We have company." Alpha Caden said suddenly as he made the horse screech to a stop."Do you ever shift into your wolf form?" He asked Madison.. Madison nodded her head."I shift once in a while when I have to get away from my family and go for a run in the woods."Alpha Caden he
Madison lay watching the fight and was overcome with fear, she was too weak to carry herself up to rest on a nearby tree trunk. While she watched, the biggest and most ferocious of the wolves which she recognized as alpha Caden's wolf, pinned down the furry one with tricks and cunning. It was strangling the wolf until it began to grunt sounds that she did not understand. It was a wolf language that she could not understand when she was still in her human form.Slowly, the big wolf unpinned the small one and they stood watching each other. Finally, they both shifted into their forms again."Get on the horse."Alpha Caden snapped, When he reached her. There was a total quiet now and he seemed sure that he was not under any risk. Madison rose up and went to the horse. When she mounted it, it took a while for alpha Caden to join her..and when they started to ride, it began to rain heavily. Her wolf snapped awake within her."We may have to wait for the rain to thin out in the cave before
" You will have to lie on the floor with the debris. There is also no blanket to wrap yourself with."Alpha Caden said when he noticed her discomfort over the thought of lying down without a blanket."I think I will have to sit the night out. It will not take long, I hope, for morning to come."She said, her eyes averted towards the entrance of the cave. The wind outside blew into the cave and she shivered. It was a chill night and she was worried that they might run out of dry twigs before it was morning."If you think you can sit out the night, It is totally not my business. You can do as you want. But know that I shall not have you dose off on the horse tomorrow when we start on the journey."He said in the usual stern way that she was fast getting acquainted with. she did not reply as she wrapped her hands around herself and continued to stare into the fire. ****When Madison woke up,. She was startled. She did not know she had fallen asleep. And her head was resting on alpha Cad
“My lord, this question does not require an answer at the moment. You are injured and bleeding, the bleeding has not slowed down enough for either of us to entertain questions that we already know the answer to. Please hold still, I still have to get that spot that is still bleeding.” Madison said to the alpha and made it her mission to avoid his gaze as she worked on him.She too did not have a definite answer to that question, so she could not give it to him.When she was done dressing the wounds with the straps of her dress that she tore off, she looked up to see the alpha fighting consciousness. She looked around the cave to find more things to add to the fire and keep it going.By the time she turned back to the alpha he was out, though from the way his eyes were moving behind his lids, she knew he was not in deep sleep just yet.She wanted to wash her face and arms, there was blood everywhere and there was nothing to use to cart water into the cave. Guess she was going to have t
Madison woke up feeling very warm, her fingers moved and treaded the material that was used to produce such amount of heat. The material hummed and so did her, then her eyes shot open.Blankets do not hum, blankets did not have heartbeats.Heart beats? She surged up to see Alpha Caden looking at her with expressionless eyes. Of all the people to embarrass herself in front of, she chose the one guy she was trying to act like his words did not affect her.She took in her environment to see that she had tucked herself so closely to him that it could be mistaken that he slept on her or that they had sexual relations in the night. Good thing they were all alone and she could die in peace out of embarrassment.Alpha Caden suddenly shifted into his human form and Madison did not have enough time to look away, the image of his naked body immediately stuck to her head. He looked hot!“No Madison Roberts, you shall not entertain such thoughts.” Madison mentally scolded herself and her attention
Alpha Caden’s words hit Madison as usual but she did not say a word in response. He had already held her in a choke hold, she was not begging to be further manhandled.“You are to stay in this chamber until I say otherwise. If I so much as catch your scent on the back of the door you would regret ever knowing me.” Alpha Caden said to Madison before he stormed off.Madison scoffed as the door closed behind him. She would regret ever knowing him? She already regretted it! It was not something to happen in the future, she was actively regretting her decision to go along with her uncle’s order. Surely she would have weaseled her way out of it.She raised her hand to her neck and winced when her fingers came in contact with the now tender skin. It was going to heal soon but that did not mean that she enjoyed being treated like this.She wanted to defy him but she suddenly lost the strength to and decided to lay down on the bed. As she walked toward the bed, she caught a glimpse of the bath
“Well, why are you looking at me like I was flirting with your crush?” Claudia asked Madison as she too pulled on her clothes.“I cannot believe that you could have a conversation while being butt naked. You see why I call you a closet hoe?” Madison said to Claudia who began laughing so hard she nearly lost her balance. Madison on her own was fighting the smile that was threatening to take over her face.She lost the battle and soon joined Claudia in laughing.“I swear you are precious Madison. Is this how you are going to act when it is time to do the deed with the alpha? My, that would be golden!” Claudia said to Madison who choked on air and began coughing furiously.“What? You can’t take a joke?” Claudia said a little carelessly but she went to pat her friend on the back, despite the glare that Madison was shooting her way.“Easy, easy, I was just messing with you. Here, drink this.” Claudia said to Madison as she handed her a glass of water. Madison took the glass and considered
“Well, given the circumstances I am going to say that it was not very nice even though it was your truth. Look, my aim here is to help you two meet some kind of middle ground so that no one is hurt beyond repair at the end of it all.If it works out fine, if it does not, that is fine as well. So you would learn to choose your words rightly around him. Minimize hurt and enjoy yourself. You know you have a lot more lunches to spend with him. You cannot afford to be having a horrible time all the time. Anyway, let us see if these people have any good massage parlors. I need a good rub down.” Claudia said to Madison who just gave her a look.Her friend really could be extra, how did a conversation about how she was to behave with their host end with them going for a massage?“We would have to ask. And thank you for that piece of advice, did you have pizza?” Madison suddenly asked Claudia as the smell of pizza suddenly hit her.“No I did not, if your sense of smell is that sharp then your
“Seconded, we have been running those woods since we had our first shifts, and we have never recorded such an incident. I suggest we contact the mages, we all know that they are better at all of this.” Another person said to concur with the first opinion. Alpha King Caden did not say anything to them though he made them aware that he was back on the call.“The mages are quite difficult to catch their attention but we will give it a thought. I suspect that the witch that attacked the alpha and the niece of Alpha Rupert Roberts was a chance meeting because the alternative would be that she knew Miss Roberts would be in the Red galaxy pack when she arrived. And she somehow knew that she was going to be in the woods at the time that she was there, also that the alpha king would go after her.That is too much to be allowed to be anything but a coincidental meeting. My lord, how many people knew of Miss Roberts' visit? Is that an angle we can explore?” one of the advisors channeled the ques
Alpha king Caden just spared her a look before he went back on his phone that had been beeping non stop since he sat with her. He felt he should have left the thing on his table so that he could at the very least pay attention to Madison. She was a puzzle to him, she says she doesn't want to marry him but she always wants to help one way or the other.He wanted to unravel this puzzle.“I will eat Miss Roberts, just a little distracted. Plus I do not usually have lunch, I always have meetings at this time.” Alpha King Caden said to Madison a little absentmindedly as he was responding to a message on his phone.Madison tried but failed to stop her look of disapproval. Why would he propose to meet her for lunch every single day when he was not going to eat anything?He finally picked up his glass of juice and took a sip from it. Aside from that he made no move to eat anything else. Madison chose to ignore him so that she could eat her meal and leave him to continue his work. She was begi
And so the morning was spent visiting some shops and as lunch time rolled around, the person who had been assigned to them as a tour guide signaled them that it was time to go. With a sigh, Madison stood up and began to mentally prepare herself for the lunch meeting.She just had this feeling that it was going to be a private lunch, even though she would prefer it was not. But she did not have much of a choice. If she was being honest, she would say that the pack was really beautiful.But she still had to find a way to convince Claudia that they should go explore the woods. She wanted to see if she could still find that old woman who was able to take her wolf from her, she was not sure why but she just wanted to find the woman.Not to mention, there was an appeal in those woods. She could not explain it but it was another reason why she wanted to go in there.She was lost in thought that when she came to, the car was slowing down in front of an office building. Madison looked around a
Alpha king Caden sat in his room just listening to their conversation. He knew that soon enough he would have to grant her privacy. The two friends amused him if he was being honest, he found the person Madison became when she spoke to her friend to be entertaining and he oddly wanted her to be that way with him.He picked up a phone to make arrangements for their tour tomorrow. He would have asked Anton to handle it personally but he already had an assignment for him the next day, so someone else was going to have to do it. As for the lunch with Madison, her friend was not invited. And he was going to try to make the time a little comfortable for the two of them.He then went to prepare for the night, he had a long day.That night, Claudia did not return to her own room. Alpha King Caden was aware but he did not do anything about it just yet. But after tonight he was going to put an end to it, the last thing he needed was for his wife to be emotionally dependent or to form any form o
“What can I do for you Miss Blue?” the alpha King asked Claudia with his eyes trained on hers, she began to feel uncomfortable under his gaze but she chose to do what she came here for.“My Lord, I wanted to ask your permission for Madison to join me on my tour around your pack tomorrow. From what I understand, there is a reason you want her here. If she can see and appreciate the pack and its pack members, I believe it can help sway her to choose to stay my Lord.” Claudia said to the alpha king, hoping that she said the right words to get him to say yes.“Just as you told her it would help her find an escape route to leave the pack Miss Blue?” the alpha king said to Claudia who had a moment of panic but she tried not to show it. She guessed right after all, he could hear their conversations.“Oh that, I had to tell her what she needed to hear so that she would at least agree to the request. This is also my first time here my Lord, there is no way I would know the best routes to escap
“Wait, hold on, back up, what do you mean that he was kissing you for the second time in under twenty four hours? When did the first one happen? Boy do you guys move quickly!” Claudia said to Madison and tried to lighten the situation.“Not funny Claud, it happened on the night I got here. We got into a screaming match and he stormed off. A maid told me I had to wait for him to calm down so that he could give instructions about my accommodations, so I went in search of him. I found him in the gardens and tried to reason with him again, he said no to send me home and the next thing I knew was that his lips were on mine.There, you have your story. Leave me alone.” Madison said to Claudia who gave her a close lipped smile.“Never. So I am guessing his kiss the second time jogged your memory, are you sure you had temporary amnesia or you were for a jail free card?” Claudia asked Madison, making Madison roll her eyes at her.“As if, the man said he was doing me a favor by bringing me here
“You can say that again.” Madison said as she just rolled over and stared into space before she turned back to Claudia.“But seriously, how come you are here? Do not get me wrong, I am glad to see you, especially since I did not get to see you before I was shipped out here, but how are you here?” Madison asked Claudia who sighed and sat up, making Madison sit up as well.“Well, news got to Alpha Rupert about your jailbreak. He really wanted to come himself but you know that if he comes unannounced or without permission from the alpha king it could be seen as a declaration of war. And the Alphason’s female is due any moment from now so Alphason Wilson could not come.I happened to be in the hall where the conversation was going on and decided to volunteer myself for the job, so here I am to keep you company, to keep tabs on you, and my final assignment is to keep you out of trouble. Now, before we delve into your side of the story, can we please eat already? I know you want to play the
