Into the woods

Pov: Winston

Maddie was quiet but curious as I strapped her to the passenger seat of my sedan. Her big brown eyes looked at me as I buckled the seatbelt for her and slammed the door at her side.

I rounded the car and got into my driver's seat, buckling my own seatbelt and starting the engine. I eased out of the driveway of mansion. It was early in the morning and I wanted to beat the Manhattan traffic.

We were already in Long Island when she turned to me with those big innocent brown eyes, sitting up in her seat. "Where are you taking me?"

I smiled to myself, enjoying her curiosity. "Just trust me, Maddie. Relax."

"That's what they say before they take you to an unknown location and strip you of your guts."

I winced, only just realizing how much I was asking for her to trust me.

She had trusted her husband too.

And that motherfucker had fucked her up and called his now dead friends to do the same.

    Self defensePov: MaddisonI had stayed locked up in my room for three days straight, avoiding Winston and the rest of the world around me.I didn't know how this mating bond worked, but It was causing me agonizing, physical pain to be seperated from him. To be at odds with him and my heart throbbed painfully every morning, afternoon and evening when he came around to check on me.I called my mother three times a day, just to assure her that I was fine and I was okay. And she called me three times more. Just to be sure that I was really safe and fine.Lapis usually came around to bring my food to me and I had been eating to my fill and drawing and trying not to think of the turmoil swirling inside of me.I was aware of movements of Cerulean and Lapis walking to and fro outside the door and keeping the mansion in order.And I was aware of the sparring matches that Gwyn, Nathan and Ethan engaged in just outside my window. Sometimes, I stood and watched and stared and stared at them and

    Ethan clapped slowly, a happy grin all his face. "Alright, alright, that's enough demonstration for our little stalker hiding in the shadows."Terror seized my body. I shrieked and hid behind one of the flamboyant potted plants, shaken and embarrassed from being found out.There was silence for a moment, I shifted in my hiding spot and peeked out from behind the plant. Not just Ethan anymore, but Ethan, Gwyn and Nathan were now looking at me. Right at me and grinning nicely and I let out an embarrassed squeak and dove back behind the plant and its protective giant leaves, back into my hiding spot."You can come out, Maddie," I recognized Nathan's happy, upbeat voice. "We don't bite."Ethan coughed into his hand, "sure as hell we do.""Oop, sorry, we don't bite sweet innocent girls we know and love, especially those that are fated to be with our best bud for ever and ever."My cheeks turned red and flushed with embarrassment and I slid out of my hiding spot now and stood awkwardly in t

    Other than thisPov: WinstonI roused awake to the sound of rustling clothes falling off of someone's body and falling to the ground.I scrambled to sit up right and then the full force of her sweet smelling lilac scent enveloped my nostrils as the mattress dipped under her weight when she climbed into bed with me."Maddie?" I called out into the darkness, searching for her, "what are you-""Shhh..." She whispered soothingly, pressing her hand flat on my chest and pushing me back gently into bed. Her face was suddenly in front of mine, her hair falling over her face as she gazed down on me lovingly, sadly. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, biting her trembling lips."Sweetheart," I crooned. Unable to stop myself, I lifted my right hand up to touch her face. I stroked her hair and touched the length of it obstructing her face from me and tucked it behind her ear, gazing at her lovingly. "what are you talking about?" I whispered."I'm sorry for locking you out. I'm so sorry for ignoring y

    bonfire storiesPov: MaddisonWinston and I had been laying around in bed all day...Okay, I'll be honest. We were doing a lot more than laying around most of the time.We had soft sex in the morning, in the bed, on the chaise lounge in his room and we had rough sex around midday and he took me against the wall and I gave him a slow, looong blowjob and he had eaten me out until I was a sobbing, writhing mess.Towards evening, I was spent, sated, relieved and sexually satisfied with my life.Lapis and Cerulean had knocked on the door to bring us food twice today, thankfully when we were really just laying around, so we had fed properly throughout the day and went at sex like we only just discovered it.Now, he was standing over me, smiling softly at me.And I genuinely didn't know why he was even wearing panta at this point."Come here!" I whined, making grabby hands at me.Just a second ago, he had been on the phone with Rosario, a managing director of his Brooklyn branch who had step

    Glorified bonfire nightPov: MaddisonI was having the time of my life!There was so much to do. So much to see. So much to eat!I had underestimated just how large Winston's territory was. It was like its own little suburban village. He drove me all the way to the northern end of the dwelling area, where most of the werewolves under his leadership resided. The houses were cute one storey building with wrap around porches and picket fences and as we walked past, people waved and threw flowers and petals and called out greetings cheerily from their windows.People wanted to meet him,greet him, thank him, little kids offered flowers to him and more than a few old people stopped him to pray over his head and offered him homemade food and baked things. He was loved, he was so loved by his people, it brought tears to my eyes. It was obvious the way they strolled their new born babies over to him in their prams, and he would pick the babies up in his powerful hands and smile down on them an

    Story timePov: MaddieA woman had suddenly appeared in the fires and she wasn't getting consumed by the flames. The fire burned brighter and brighter, a bright orange colour that roared to life around her. Flames licked around her, her clothes, her skin, her hair, but they only rolled around her and danced out of her way.She stepped out of the fire and everyone started clapping and cheering. She was the oldest woman I have ever seen, her back was bent over by age and she walked with a stoop and a wobbly looking walking stick, her hair was so grey, it was cotton wool white and her face was rough and wrinkled up. She walked with a limp and it took her a while to get to where we were standing.She reached us and it looked like everyone had held in their breaths to see what she was going to do about me.She tucked her walking stick under her armpit and raised both her hands, beckoning me to bed to her level.I did and she took my face in her hands and touched my forehead with hers.

    designated whorePov: MaddisonWinston suddenly turned to me, "I'm going to have a little chat with Maya," he said to me through gritted teeth, "you're safe within these borders. Nothing can harm you here. Please, wait for me here, I won't be long okay?"I nodded, a little confused and curious. He was trembling in anger and I could tell it was probably because of everything Maya just said."Go," I told him. "I'll be fine."He nodded and turned around, walking in the direction opposite of the way we came.After he left, slowly, people started breaking out of their segregated groups and reconvening in smaller, tighter ones.The air around me had been sucked dry of his lightness and merriment and had been replaced by something sticky and heavy and dark and suffocating.One by one, people started to leave with their families and friends and I wasn't surprised when I saw Ethan kiss Gwyn goodnight on the cheek.I sighed and went to the one of the tables laden with food abd drinks.

"I would have been better off dead! Why did you bring me back anyway?!"Nathan! I realized the voice immediately and crept around the three, not wanting them to see me so that I don't ruin their moment."I told you!" Gwyn groaned exasperated, "Winston wanted you back. He was hurting so much after you left. He really wasn't himself. He wasn't okay after your death.""He seemed very damn well fine to me when we visited him for the first time since your brought me back to life," Nathan grumbled, annoyed and frustrated. "I hate this! I hate everything that has to do with this. I've tainted the legacy I left behind. Nobody even remembers what I did for the pack anymore. Nobody even cares! I used to be Nathan the sly. Nathan the evasive. Nathan the wraith... Nathan the fallen hero of the blood moon pa

    It was a blur from then on.They whipped me with whips laced in silver, fed me Aurum and argentum and made me inhale wolfesbane, the grounded petals of a flower that attacked our cardio vascular system. They flogged me with silver studded sticks and kicked me with silver soled shoes and stabbed at me and poked fun at me and laughed at me.Maddie was struggling so hard in her seat, crying and begging in mumbles for them to stop.I was weak. My eyes were closing. I could have died any second...And then, i heard a growl so gutteral, so beast like, from the other side of the room, in the direction where Maddie was.At first, I thought that it was all in my head, because no no no... It cannot be.But the others fell silent and stopped their assault on me.Maddie was growling, deep in her throat, her eyes were flashing yellow with beast like slits as pupils. Fur sprouted out of her skin. She seemed to grow bigger and bigger on the seat and stood on her feet, still tied to the chair, and ke

    daysPov: WinstonIt took me a while to rouse to consciousness. Gwyn had been the first one to wake and porge the sleeping pills out of her system, because she had the lightest weight and then, she made a disgustingly smelling potion and held it up at each of our noses, to wake us up too.And so, that was how I woke up to a pungent, egg smelling potion bomb, exploding in my nose.I looked up at the grim faces of my best friends, together with Cerulean and Lapis' worried gazes and wondered what the fuck their problems were.Why were they in my room, looking at me like that? I turned to my side to ask Maddie if she was seeing what I was seeing... And had the shock of my life.Maddie's side of the bed was empty. "Where is she?!" I had growled desperately."We don't know," Gwyn had whispered, "but from the looks of it, she had drugged us and ran away.""What?!" A tremor shook my spine. I was up and out of the bed immediately, tugging on a shirt and pants and grabbing my car keys, a mill

    The ghost of a smile stayed on my lips but as I continued the story, my smile dropped and fell from my face. "I stayed with Mr Winston for a while, but one day, I decided to go back home to get the rest of my things and really leave for the last time... Or at least, the last time before I start the divorce process... My husband. He was a raging angry drunk that night. There was a party playing in the apartment and I had already packed my things but he cornered me and... And he..." my voice shook.Olivia looked at me worriedly, her beautiful face twisted into a concerned scowl.I took a deep breath. "He beat me up, Olivia."A shocked gasp escaped her lungs."Yeahhh... Winston kind of... Saved me that night, and took me away to one of his islands while I got healed up. He took care of me, Liv.""Like he should," she beamed at me. She suddenly froze,her eyes going wide. She snapped her fingers. "THAT'S why the two of you have not been at work lately!" She exclaimed, her eyes softening. "

    AmbushPov: MaddisonIt was an entire month and half before I hatched my failproof plan. Before I got the motivation at all.I was able to sneak out of the Grand Mansion without Winston noticing that morning.It actually helped that I had taken charge of dinner and I may or may not have drugged everyone's food.I left the conservation at five in the morning, when Winston was still sleeping peacefully beside me, his arms around my waist, pulling me close and tugging him to his torso.I had made the call last night and the recipient was probably eagerly awaiting my return, back in the city... But I needed to do this right, and I didn't want any distracrions.I hadn't slept a wink last night, and we had talked and laughed and even made love and I swallowed a sigh of relief when the drugs began to take effect and his speech started slurring and he was mumbling and falling over his words.My eyes were wide open, i slid his arm away from my waist, slowly, quietly, just incase I had not give

    see for yourself Pov: Winston "Drive me back to my mother's home," Maddie said, weak and exhausted as I held her quietly in the car. "But we just got back from there," i said confused. Nonetheless, I extracted myself from her body and strapped myself to the seat. She was quiet as I inputed the address information into the gps all over again and I understood why she would be so rattled. She had just lost her best friend. What I didn't understand was why she had suddenly stopped consoling Olivia, the moment she saw that thing on her phone. I was dying to know what it was. I was dying to let her let me in. But her end of the telepathic bond I shared with her had gone depressingly silent and cold. It took a while. Hours and hours and more frustrating hours on the road, but we finally got to her house. She stepped out of the car and looked at the stately brick house surrounded by a green lawn in front and green fields at the back. The front door had been smashed in, thanks to me,

    The SetupPov: MaddisonSomething is wrong.Something is wrong.Something is terribly wrong.That was the sound track playing in my head when I roused from my sleep that night and checked my phone.It was almost eight o'clock.It was almost eight o'clock and I was still asleep.Any moment now, Ethan would knock on the door to inquire about why I wasn't down in the courtyard for the early morning jog.I never sleep this late in the mornings... Because, since the assault from William went down my mother always calls me up at seven in the mornings.But today, I didn't see her phone call."Winston!" I cried alarmed. "Winston, wake up," I begged, already sliding out of bed.He sat up, awake and alert immediately, searching my face frantically. "What happened, Maddie? Did anything happen to you?""Yes. I need you to drive me back to the city. I need to see my mother," I explained hurriedly as I slipped out of my nightdress and shimmied into a pair of jeans and tugged on a tank top.Winston

    Heart to HeartPov: MaddisonAfter the study and books aspect was out of the way, I found out that I actually looked forward to Gwyn's lessons the most.I was currently sitting cross-legged, high up on a cliff, eyes closed, facing the setting sun.I felt her presence all around me, her voice was soft and delicate as she explained to me the basics of the technique she had used on Nathan that time."Chakra is a Sanskrit word and it means “disk” or “wheel” and it represents the various energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra."There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. But these are only your main chakra points where energy is gathered in the

    fighting stancePov: MaddisonEthan was a brutal taskmaster. Cold and calculating and belting out orders, pushing me to my max.I had changed my diet to contain more protein and carb contents as per Nathan's instructions and I had jogged and worked out and pushed my body to the extreme under Ethan's tutelage and Gwyn helped with my meditation and tutored me in basic human anatomy.The first day of my training with Ethan, I was a sweating, sobbing, puking, breathless mess on the floor of the sparring courtyard in the big house that was really the grandest mansion I had ever seen.On the fourth day, I wasn't doing much better, but at least, I had learned to throw a punch without causing much damage to myself, and I wasn't as breathless and winded after each early morning jog."You're punching all wrong," he told me in my first day.

I asked my best friend now, raising an amused brow.He looked at me, shocked at first, and then he caught on to the fact that I was actually smiling at him, and his lips stretched into a conniving grin that was so Nate... That grin that made him look like you two were in on a private joke or something. Even if he had no idea what you were talking about, his goofy grins made you think he did."Thanks, man," he said now, his voice turning serious as he went to perch on the raised steps to the boxing ring.
