sunset dreamsPov: WinstonWe took a walk down the private beach behind the beach house that day. It was the first time since we arrived here that she agreed to step out of the house and into the sun. The sand was hot between our toes and the sun warmed our backs as we talked and laughed and soaked in the sun.Most of her scars and bruises were gone and she had dared to wear a skimpy two piece bikini and a large pink kimono trailed behind her.We were holding hands and I was just happy to see her smiling, the wind blowing in her hair, her rose coloured cheeks. She had started eating and talking more and even poking fun at me again abd some of the Maddie I used to know no longer made fleeting appearances. They were now here to stay. I was happy she was getting back to her original self.She had opened up about how she really felt and we had filed a police report when she was still bed ridden and now, she was more intent than ever in following through with the divorce.The sun had set n

puppy love and miraclesPov: MaddisonI roused awake the next morning with an ecstatic joy and hope in my heart that I couldn't shake off.We were on a beach house on a private island owned by Winston and the entire building featured an open plan concept, where from specific places in the house, you could see the sea and shore from the comfort of your room.Right now, I was stretched out in bed in nothing but my underwear, the silky white sheets cocooned around me like an embrace and cold, salty air from the sea blew into the room, caressing my cheeks. I smiled softly at all or nature, one of the first times I was genuinely happy, and grateful for being alive.I stretched out on the bed and sat up, scrambling out of bed, giddy with unnecessary happiness and joy in my veins. I felt like dancing. I felt like singing. I felt like screaming to the world about how happy I was.I slipped into one of Winston's plain white Tee that was so big on me, it dropped to my mid thighs and the collar

: not quite back to lifePov: WinstonI can't.I can't...I can't believe my eyes.Gwyn and Ethan, my alpha and omega stood in fron of me, fragile smiles on their faces, a wary look in their eyes as I stared at the person between them that wasn't supposed to be there with them.What... When... How?I swallowed and realized that I must be running completely mad. I turned to Maddie to ask if she was seeing what I was seeing and her deathly pale face like death told me everything I needed to know.I was staring at my beta.They had brought Nathan back to life.Except... Something was wrong. Something was horribly wrong.For starters, Nathan's hair had been more red than brown, a deep russet colour. But now, it was more brown than red, a deep bronze colour, his eyes were craftier than ever, that stubborn Daredevil glint in his shiny brown orbs. His face lacked the golden hue he used to have and he was now deathly pale with blue lips, but that must be because he hadn't had a decent dose of

Fantasies and fairy talesPov: MaddisonI went to visit my mum immediately after I returned from my vacation with Mr Winston.To her, it was protocol to call me once every week and since I had been missing for the past two months, I was sure that she must have been running out of her mind with worry.She attacked me at her doorstep, tackling me into a hug and it wasn't until I felt her warm, wet tears on my neck before I realized that she was crying.I closed my eyes, burying my face into her hair and hugged her back tenderly.When she let me go, her eyes were red and filled to the brim with tears. "Oh," she cried. "Oh, Maddie. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry."She ushered me into her home and sat with me on the plosh couch in the living room.She pulled me into another hug, exploding into another bout of tears as she held me to her, as she held me close. "I was so scared and so worried. So so worried," she whispered into the hug. "I almost... I almost showed up at your place after the fir

deadly stalkerPov: MaddisonI started trembling all over, quaking and shivering like I had just been doused in ice cold water, his name flashing across the screen was like a siren blaring in my head.He suddenly hung up.I couldn't even exhale properlyBecause he was calling again.I looked from the phone to my mum. I fisted my trembling hands on my lap. "Answer it." I told her.Her face was white in fear and pinched with worry. "Are you sure?" She whispered back.I gulped, nodded. "Yes, I'm sure." My fingers dug into my palms from fisting them too tight. "Answer it or he will suspect I'm here. Or he will come looking. Please, answer it. I don't want to look suspicious."She nodded and inhaled a deep breath, swallowing noisily as she answered the call, putting the call on loudspeaker."H... Hello," she whispered, her voice trembling.A tremor ripped through me at the sound, the awful sound of my husband's voice through the phone. "Holliston!" He cried, as if genuinely pleased to hear

UnderestimatePov: WinstonYou know, I regret a lot of things in my life, but leaving Maddie on her own for the second time, especially after knowing what happened the first time, has got to be the height of my stupidity.Adrenaline was pumping in my veins and I didn't stop my race back to my mansion with Maddie on my back and holding on for her dear life.The woods around us passed by in a blur and as I came to a stop at the door of the mansion, trembling not from the cold but from livid anger and curdling wrath.Killing them was not enough.Killing them had not been enough.And I had lost the sight and scent of William, during the scuffle, while I was too busy tearing that degenerate scum to pieces and all the other low lives that had held her down for the scum to defile her.All the other low lives that had held her down as she begged and struggled and pleaded. As her tears fell on deaf ears.I had been red with anger and shaking with wrath as I tore them to pieces and shredded the

Into the woodsPov: WinstonMaddie 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.Just thinking about the bsstard left a bitter taste in my mouth. He proba

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

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
