friends and foes POV: Winston I had his records in my hands. James Edward Carter. The twenty eight year old, blonde hair blue eyed graduate from Brown. Something about that man rubbed me the wrong way and I had contacted the head of the acquisitions team to send me his files, records, reports from his former jobs, letters of recommendation and to get in contact with the referees he had placed in his application form. So far, two out of three of his referrals didn't exist and the third denied even knowing him. So far, the only thing credible about him was the fact that he hadgraduated from an Ivy League, his flawless academic records andnearly perfect GPA. His recommendation letters were fake and there were reports in his files stating that he had been suspected of stealing and selling intel from the software company he used to work at before and he was fired after a fellow colleague alleged that he had sexually assaulted her. I usually had a say in who was employed into my com

Fancy English men Pov: Winston Overwhelming, paralyzing fear was attacking every nerve in my body. My hands were trembling. My heart was pounding. My body was sweaty. The feeling wasn't coming from me. It was from Maddie. "Gwyn! Stop!" I called out, just as she reached for the door to the driver's side of the car to open it. She turned around, golden locks whipping around her. Her blue eyes darkened in concern. "What is it, Winston?" She whispered gently. "Maddie. Maddie is in trouble." She was up and alert in seconds, running back to my side. "what is it? How do you know for sure?" I raised my index finger to indicate I needed a second to focus as my ears perked up and my nose tried to pick up her scent. My senses were alarm sounds screaming in my head. And then, I caught it! Her faint floral scent. I started walking in the direction of it. Gwyn didn't say a word as she quietly followed behind me. I followed the long trail. She was with someone. Someone familiar. I sniffe

Girl time POV: Maddison I stayed in bed throughout the next day, a Sunday and called Oliviaover because I was so scared to stay in my apartment alone. She ended up inviting me over to her place where I slept over untilmy husband returned from his trip on Tuesday. She even jokedabout me moving in with her, since she wanted a roommate shecould split the bills with and I appreciated the fact that shegenuinely wanted me around. I ended up sleeping over at her placeand ended up actually liking it until I had to return home becausemy husband returned. I didn't want him knowing about any of this because he'd freak outthat I went on a 'date' behind his back. Gwyn and Mr Winston were so sweet, sending me goodnight textand 'how are you' messages every single day after that night. Everyone was being so supportive and I started getting used to theidea of being cared about by people that weren't my husband and mymother. It made me feel so warm. I was getting better and Mr Winston hadkept to

Justice Pov: Winston I knocked twice on the door and waited until the person in the upscale apartment opened up. The door creaked open, just an inch, the occupant of the household was alert and cautious. Well he had every fucking right to be. His blonde hair popped through the creak, blue eyes widened and froze over at me and he moved to shut the door. I placed my feet between the door and the door jamb, effectively stopping him from shutting the door. I shoved the door open, forcing my way into the apartment. He glared at me, following behind me as I found my way into the posh, sophisticated living room and sat comfortably, sinking into the plosh light blue couch. He stood a distance away from me, his face livid but his stance uncomfortable. He was holding an ice pack to his temple. His face had healed from most of the bruises we dealt on him on Saturday. Curse Gwyn and her gentle heart. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill him myself and slice his throat with my claw and

night Pov: Winston I heard my door bell ring impatiently over and over again, kicking me awake, a sharp pain, shooting through my neck. I winced, sitting up, immediately alert and my keen wolf ears heard Nancy as she hurried over to see who was at the door. I looked around, taking note of my surroundings and finally registering exactly where I was, what day it was and what time of the day it was. I was in my office, I had fallen asleep on the desk, looking through the last of the files of emoloyees Adelyne had emailed me late this afternoon and I had taken home some work and all the proposals I needed to sign and reject. It was evening on Friday and Gwyn had left early to focus on pack duties, creating a breathing space for my two favourite assholes to show up at my doorstep. Ethan and Nathan were pounding on the door of my office. "Yo, dickhead!" Nathan howled outside, "put on some clothes and get out here! We're taking your miserable ass out!" "Just so we're clear, Win," Etha

Cookies and reminisces POV: Maddison I had so much free time on my side, so I decided to pay my mother a visit. I stood at her doorstep, grinning from ear to ear as I pretty much pounded on the door excitedly. I could catch the smell of cookies baking inside and I couldn't wait to sample them. Momma always makes the best cookies. "Shouldn't you be at work!" Was the first thing she said, opening the door and putting her hands on her hips, staring at me with a mock accusatory frown. "Wow," I deadpanned. "You can at least try to sound excited to see me, mum." I huffed, folding my arms, or at least, trying my best to fold my hands with the plastic containers in my hands, washed and air dried from the last time she made side dishes and dumplings for me to take home. Her face broke into a grin and she pulled me into an ecstatic hug. "Of course I'm excited to see you, Maddie! You never come visiting anymore," she pouted childishly, releasing me from the hug to give me a once over. "So

Back to work POV: Maddison The moment I stepped into the building, I knew that something was wrong. I was happy and refreshed from the week long break and I was ready to get back to work, pumped for the day. Olivia was waving me over at the front desk excitedly and she got out of her desk and pulled me into a tight, bone crushing hug. "It's so good to see you, B!" She squealed, hugging me tighter. "How're you? How've you been?! It's good to have you back! Have lunch with me this afternoon. Bill's on me of course." I was grinning wildly and holding on to her hand as we laughed and chatted together for a few minutes. Two fellow employees walked into the building, chatting and laughing, but the moment they saw me, their gazes turned cold and hard and frosty and they rolled their eyes and eyed me scornfully before walking away. My heart seized. "What was that about?" I asked Olivia. "Oh..." She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck nervously. "That..." I swallowed in anticipation,

All night The boss' assistant POV: Maddie Working as Mr Winston's assistant was a breeze. It was my job to keep him informed and organized through out the week. All week, he had been having meetings outside the buildings with investors and partners willing to work with him. We had dinners and luncheons amd gala and charity events and it was actually fun meeting new people and going to different places. He kept me at his side always, taking notes, keeping track of his schedules and reorganizing meetings that he couldn't keep up with. Today however was different. He asked me to leave his side and give them some privacy as he chatted with investors from Milan. We had been invited to a convention in downtown Manhattan and Mr Winston was focusing on evolving his brand and getting into other aspects of consumer purchases. Lately, he had invested heavily in an upcoming make up brand that wasn't doing well at the moment but showed huge promise in doing better and sky–rocketing above its

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. "When you hit your target, you want to strike with the first two knuckles, not that flat front part of your fist or the smaller knuckles on your ring or pink

Favourite fixPov: WinstonMy entire body freezed mid strike as I felt another presence join me in my private sparring room."I thought I would find you here," the very familiar voice said aptly.I exhaled the breath I had been holding and completed the punch–kick sequence I had been been doing on the sparring dummy, before I turned to him, grabbing my bottle of water and draining the contents thirstily."Who invited you in?" 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. "I... I was actually going to leave today, immediately afte
