Photoshoot troublesPov: MaddisonAs i worked into the company that morning, the first thing I saw was a huge poster of me spread out like a wall paper on the entirety of one of the walls on the ground floor. I walked towards the wall and my heart was doing backflips and cartwheels throught the time it took for me to reach the giant wallpaper of (gulp) me.I looked good, I realized.My hands were shaking at my sides and I was hyperventilating out of control, a light sheen of sweat had gathered on my face... But I looked great.I had picked my favourite shots of the entire photoshoot and those were the two shots now plastered on the wall for every one to see. I liked the fact that Mr Winston had made good on his promise to let me have the final say in what got published and what got chucked in the bin. I had discarded the only one shot that had been even the slightest bit provocative or sleezy and kept the rest. The shots were going to be on fine print, in magazines, on billboards, on

Raze the earthPov: WinstonI was having a meeting with the executives of my technical department from Los Angeles when Maddie bursted into the conference room with the morning cup of coffee and morning news reports she usually summarized for me every morning.She was late and I raised my head to reprimand her for being late today, when i saw the look on her face and my thoughts came to a screeching halt. My heart stopped beating for one terrifying moment in my chest and my mouth turned dry.Her eyes were red and bleary and her face was puffy and swollen. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her face looked like it had been wiped clean of all her make-up hastily. I was out of my sit and walking over to her in seconds, my heart, beating out of control in my chest, my hands shaking at my sides and balling into tightened fists.What had happened to her? Who had hurt her? Why had she been crying? These questions thrashed around in my head as I walked over to her.I wanted to wrap her

AshesPov: MaddisonI was fuming by the time I walked into the building, barely able to contain the rage bubbling in the pit of my stomach.The email I'd received yesterday from none other than Mr Winston His Royal Dick Highness himself was etched in my head:I have noticed that majority of the employeesWorking in this Manhattan branch have a thingAgainst one of the most diligent workers in the officeThis is a stern reminder that bullying and gossip mongeringWill not be tolerated. Already, I have compiled names of everyoneInvolved in this heinous act and they are not to show their face at the officeAgain. Do well to not be caught victim of this.Attached to the damning email was a file containing all hundred and sixty two of my colleagues that were required to vacate office immediately.I remember my heart constricting in my chest and forgetting its pumping action. I remember my lungs suddenly not knowing how to receive oxygen anymore. I stared at the texts and reread and reread

Pov: MaddisonKissing Winston was like getting sucked into a hurricane of storm and passion and drunken desire.I was burning up and falling apart and he was whispering sweet things to my ears. Things he said he had waited years, decades to do. Things he was dying to show me.He kissed my lips, gentle and soft at first and then, his arms tightened around me in a way that made me safe and secure.I was suddenly airborne.He had lifted me in his arms and we went flying across the room and before I knew it, my back was against the soft leather of one of the long couches in the lounge area of his office.Winston was on top of me, covering my body with his and covering me with kisses that made every nerve in my body quake and vibrate with need."Winston," I whispered, tugging at his crisp white shirt, fumbling with the buttons, grasping at the lapels."I'm here, I'm here, Maddie." His hands were bunching up my skirt and he was lying on top of me and every part of me had caught fire and bur

AttackPOV: WinstonI drove like a mad man all the way to the conservation in long island I had long since bought and paid for, for the peaceful coexistence of my pack.The Blood Moon pack was sheltered from the outside world and had been protected for decades, ever since I became alpha of the pack.For over fifty years, they conservation had been protected against external attacks. There was an effective guard system and I had witnessed decades and decades of peace and tranquility, leading and protecting the pack with everything I had. I had done better than previous Alpha's before me.But this. This destroyed everythingI fought tooth and nail, with claws and teeth to give the pack the safety they had today. I led them away from other warring packs, fighting for territory and dominance and gave them a place of their own. And soon, we grew and bloomed into the most feared pack of the west coast. During my reign, we had an era of peace the others had never witnessed. In fact, it was

abominationPov: WinstonI was still shaking in rage by the time the fight was over. "You called for me, Winston?" Gwyn appeared into the room where a medic was tending to my injuries. They weren't nearly as fatal as I expected. A few scratches and a stab wound to my thigh.The medic spread a hand over the stab wound and I felt my cells awaken at her command, the bleeding stopped, my skin cells started climbing over themselves to repair tissue damage and knit over the wound. Within seconds my wound was completely healed.I stood up, thanked the medic who bowed to me and spread a finger over my face, probably healing another scrath there. She turned to take her leave when it was over."Gwyn." I regarded my omega, standing at the threshold of the door. She looked better. She had changed out of her shredded clothes and there were no longer visible wounds or scratches on her body."Winston," she swallowed, folding her arms and mentally bracing herself for what I was about to ask."Nathan

HonestPOV: WinstonI'll be honest and come right out and say this: I expected it. I expected getting clocked in the face. I expected foul play from Theo and smelled his bullshit from a mile away.But I didn't dodge it. I closed my eyes and braced myself and he swiped the stinging metal across my face, smacking into the side of my face and almost knocking me to the ground.I stood my ground and worked my jaw, staring down at the scum, very displeased and very annoyed.He knew he had fucked up but he grinned, balling his fists and bouncing on his legs, preparing for another attack.He went for a kick but I knew better.I dodged his leg in the air and he tried to punch me. I held his arm, and turned him around, twisting his arm around him until he was grunting in pain.Sweat dribbled down his neck, his breathing was urged. "Winston, man–""Why did you do it?! What was your motif for breaking into my territory?!"His reply was a weak, pathetic whimper. He bit back a gasp as I twisted hi

SuspiciousPOV: MaddisonI couldn't get the image out of my head.The image of those dead bodies. That young girl in Winston's tight grip and that bloody mess on the floor of that horrible room.I had gone into shock and fainted on the sight but when I woke up Winston was staring down at me, worry etched into his eyebrows, his beautiful face twisted in concern and sadness."Maddie–" he reached out to me gently.I escaped his grasp and rolled away from him, fear gripping my bones. I was staring at him holding a lifeless girl in his tight grip. Her heart was still beating in humanoid hands with wolf fur and claws and enlarged arm muscles.I remembered him turning to me, his eyes a furious red hue, a raging demonic glint in them.And then he stopped when he saw me.I remember staring at whst was left of the body on the floor, realization finally hitting me. The scream tore out of me, shrill and piercing, horror and fear, washing over my nerves.I was paralyzed with terror and when he rea

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
