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
SolicitPOV: Maddison."Thanks for meeting with me," Gwyn told me as we pulled out our seats in the overpriced coffee shop.I sank into my seat, my hands trembling. "He's cheating on me."Gwyn froze. "Who?""My... My husband."She swallowed. Cleared her throat and adjusted in her seat. "How do you know for sure?""I saw their texts."She rubbed her chin, thinking pensively. "How long?" I whispered the question that have been gnawing on my mind. "How long has he been seeing this woman?"Silence."Is she even the only one?!"More Silence."How many others ARE there?"Gwyn only stared at me, sadness and concern swirling in those baby blue orbs of hers."Why would he DO this to me?! What did I do wrong? What am I doing wrong?!""It's not your fault, Maddie," she looked at me with eyes of azul.Oh God, I broke down, tears streaming down my face. My hands were trembling as I tried to take control of myself and cover my face."Oh honey," Gwyn came over to hold me in her arms, hugging me tig
hurtPOV: MaddisonIt was a short drive to Mr Winston's estate in uptown Manhattan. I gasped as her car rolled into the compound, taking in the marble statues situated at each side of the large home and the marble fountain spewing water in front of the building."Do you think he's home?" I asked, getting out of the car, my shoes made crunching noises because of the gravel stoned path.She sniffed the air for a bit and grimaced, her face twisting into a displeased frown. "Oh, he's home alright." And under her breath, muttered, "and he has company."I straightened my pants and realized in horror that I was still in my pjs.Too late to change my mind now because Gwyn's Chevrolet was already geared up to leave."You're on your own now, kid!" Was the last thing Gwyn said as she waved me good bye, restarted the engine and drove off.I took a deep breath, practiced a calming mantra and walked up to the front door in slow precise steps.I swallowed another breath, tried to put a stop to my he
SickPOV: MaddisonI hailed a taxi back home when I grew sick of moping by myself at the coffee shop downtown.I felt like collapsing in my bed the moment I walked through the threshold of the door.My husband came to welcome me at the door immediately."Maddie," he exhaled, as if relieved. "I was beginning to get worried.""I'm fine," I grunted, not ready to even have a conversation with him.I tried stepping around him to get into the living room and binge on Kdrama but William obstructed my path.I tried to step around him again but he blocked my path again.I placed my hands on my hips. "William, what is the meaning of this?" I asked.Just when he opened his mouth to answer, a voice... A feminine voice came from MY living room. "Wiiiiiiiilll? Baby, who's that at the door?"His eyes widened. He literally went "Oh shit!" As I shoved past him, sick of this bullshit.Surprise surprise! He wasn't alone.There was a girl with strawberry blonde hair in a very risque dress with cutouts ar
Make lovePov: Maddison"Let's take this to the room," he whispered as his lips engulfed mine and he hugged my body to his.I went weak in the knees as his erection pressed into me. His bulging hardness was practically nestled between my legs."You feel that?" He rasped hoarsely to my ears, his breathing, uncoordinated, panting a little bit. "This–" He pressed his hips into me, his hardness rubbing against that part of me that magnified every touch by a thousand folds, "this is what you do to me, Maddie. Everyday. Every night. I can't get you out of my head, no matter how much you yell at me, scream at me, go back to him, you always attack my mind, Maddie. I'm enchanted by you."His hands fumbled with the belt of my coat and I clamped my thighs together, already unbelievably wet as the coat came undone and fell to my sides by the action of his hands."Oh," he whispered, his voice trembling, "oh my god, Maddie,"He dropped to his knees in front of me.I swallowed as he looked up at me,
DawnPov: MaddisonRousing awake, naked and alone in Mr Winston's bed was not how I had imagined waking up that morning. I was sprawled all over the silky sheets, the huge bed was soft and comfy and scattered with pillows. I rolled unto my back and breathed out a deep sigh.And waited for the guilt to hit.It didn't hit.I had slept with Winston... I had slept with my boss... And I hadn't regretted it. I still didn't regret it now.I sat up with now, clutching the sheets to my chest and looked around the cold, empty dark room. He was nowhere in sight. The slide doors to the balcony were slid open and there was a light rain falling outside and soft early dawn wind blowing against the curtain, sending gusts and gusts of cool, fresh air into the room.His mansion was located in the middle of a field. Outside, there were trees and fields and grasses for acres and acres of land. His house stood on a clearing in the middle of it all. There was even a lake a few kilometers from his house th
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
