Thank you for reading! Don't forget to recharge Nadine and Xander with your gems! 💛
XANDER.I only needed the gate’s key. Ron said Maddox kept Nadine’s cell door open. But I couldn’t find any fucking keys. I knew Maddox had another set of them, but where the fuck was it? Could it be with Carter? I didn’t want to ask him.I was getting frustrated. I couldn’t ransack Maddox’s office and leave it in a mess, so I had to find them in a careful manner and make sure I returned everything to its normal place so he wouldn’t notice I went through his things. And that was taking so much time. I had searched all the unlocked drawers, and still, there was nothing. I was fighting my emotions so I could keep a straight head. Ron told me through our mindlinks that Maddox was inside her cell and that he took a whip with him. The camera on the cell had no volume, so he didn’t know what was happening inside. I asked what whip, and he said just a regular one with no spikes at the end. I had no idea whether or not I should be thankful for that. All I knew was that Maddox would defi
XANDER.“Give me the dagger!” Maddox roared, rolling off an Alpha command. Oh, fuck me now! I remained standing, torn between knocking Maddox down or pretending I was useless because I could hear someone rattling the bars. In only a matter of time, we would be overpowered. But then again, Nadine amazed me. Her body shook just a bit before she let out a laugh. “You are getting weaker, Alpha Maddox.” She emphasized the word “Alpha,” and it was full of mockery.“It seemed your wound weakened you. Or maybe because I tasted your blood, that I can defy you now…” She was smiling, but I could see veins popping up on her neck. She was having difficulty, but she was acting too well. “Drop the dagger!” Maddox rolled out another one. Nadine extended her hand, her dagger still pointing at Maddox. It looked like she was about to drop it. My eyes shifted between her and him. I knew if he made a move to hurt her, I would interfere, but for now, I let Nadine run the show. “Oops. It’s not droppi
NADINE. My body trembled as I slowly sank onto my knees and placed the dagger on the floor, making sure it wouldn’t make any noise so Maddox wouldn’t hear that I did drop it after all.My eyes were fixated on Xander, watching as he walked away.I could see in his eyes that he didn’t want to go. But what choice do we have? My only wish was for him to come back. I could really use a hug right now.My tears fell as I lay down on top of the pile of clothes and coiled my body into a fetal position, hugging my stomach. I could feel hot liquid dripping from my nose.Blood. Maddox’s Alpha command was not as strong as Alpha Zach’s, but it was still not easy to defy it. I had used all the strength that I had, and once again, Star didn’t fail me. She had given her all as well, so I could remain standing, and so my nose would not bleed in front of Maddox.I grabbed a shirt and pressed it against my nose, hoping the bleeding would subside soon.Star shut off her mind to recuperate. She didn’t wan
NADINE.“I sent him to the Black Shadow Pack to tell Alpha Jace we need help.”My eyes watered again. “You did? There’s also the Dark Wood Pack, which is the nearest from here.” I said without thinking, but I shouldn’t have. It would be easier for Kenzo to head there than to circle the north to get to Jace’s pack. But it was no use as Kenzo was gone, but I was grateful that Xander thought of that because I was sure that in the last phone call I made, Jace believed everything was still okay. “I don’t know who to trust, Nadine. I was banking on the idea that Alpha Jace and Catherine’s hatred for Maddox would be enough for them to come here. And because they are your family. I didn’t want to take the risk of asking for help from any pack only for them to turn out to be an enemy.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sound like your decision was wrong. It’s me and my mouth who talk without thinking when I’m around you. But I’m so grateful that... oh, Goddess!” I gasped at the last part as Xander
NADINE. A soft moan escaped my throat as an overwhelming sensation engulfed my whole senses. My eyes fluttered as my hands held tightly to the arm snaking around my body and gripping me. Sparks were exploding from my core and shooting everywhere in my body, bringing me to the brink of my orgasm.“Do you like it when I do that?” Xander asked in a low, husky voice. His thick fingers skillfully stroked my throbbing pussy as his mouth pressed against my ear, and his breath fanned against my cheek, causing goosebumps to rise from my skin.I fell asleep in his arms and woke up with him peppering soft kisses on the back of my neck. The moment he realized I was awake, his hand trailed down my body and onto my thigh. I voluntarily parted my legs and gave him permission to go further. He was ramming his fingers in and out of me in no time, whispering filthy words in my ears. I almost forgot where we were. But I didn’t let the condition we were in stop us from doing this.I would take everyth
MINDY. “I will make sure he can never pleasure you again!” Nadine screamed at Carlotta, and for every word that came out of her mouth, Carlotta kept moving backward until she saw me and placed me before her as she walked backward, pulling me back with her. Nadine’s laughter rang in the air as she walked forward up to where her chains allowed her. “You and Maddox deserve each other. You’re only brave because of the title you held.”She scoffed before her attention went to me. “And you? Get out of here before I throw this dagger at you!”My eyes widened. If Carlotta were not here, I would have smiled widely.Nadine looked feral. Not the sweet Nadine I had cuddled in my arms these past few weeks whenever I could when I visited her. But I liked this version of her. It gave me hope that she would finally get the strength she needed to fight Maddox and Xander.“Out!” She roared, and I didn’t say anything more. I swiftly turned around, and so did Carlotta. We were rushing up the stairs, tr
XANDER.The full moon night went by swiftly. There was no chaos. No struggles. Maddox was nowhere to be seen.Carlotta made sure she was strapped to Maddox the whole night. Or, I guess Maddox didn't want to appear anywhere while the bandage was still on his face.There were also no scheduled pups for shifting, so I had more time on my hands. I was able to visit Nadine and spend time with her. She smelled divine and was hornier than she had ever been. I guessed being marked did it to her, but I was not complaining, even if I was the one who gave up because she seemed to never want to stop riding me. She made me forget we were inside the cell. But still, this full moon was better than I expected. If only she was not chained and free to run away with me. Everywhere was quiet. So quiet that I wanted to believe something would go wrong today.Yesterday, Maddox told Mindy to move to the packhouse and had assigned a room for her. I didn’t trust him, so I asked Mindy to stay in the room I
MINDY.I was in the dining room helping with lunch that we were preparing for Alpha Maximus when Lady Carlotta stepped in. I saw her rake my body up and down, her face frowning. I didn’t wear the red dress she gave me. Aside from the color being too bold for me, it would expose my shoulders and the upper part of my breasts. I would never wear anything like that in front of the Alpha or any male. I didn’t have any decent clothes, to be honest, so I was glad I had access to Nadine’s closet in their room. I knew I should have asked permission, but I didn’t have the luxury to do so. I found a black sleeveless dress with an A-line skirt. It had a round neckline and ended just above my knee. It was already modest, but I still paired it with a gray-colored cardigan. It might look bland, especially because I added the cardigan, but I didn’t care. Showing off my body to this family was never an option for me. “Where’s the dress I gave you?” Carlotta spoke, her hand clinging to her hips.“
