Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I held my breath... I opened my eyes wide and looked for the owner of that voice, which had multiple unexpected effects on me, but to no avail... He was not here.As I sighed in disappointment, believing it was an invention of my creative brain, I heard him say, “Do not look for me within those four walls, my goddess. Whenever you want to listen to me, blow in the cardinal point of the south and you will talk to me.”“How are you in my head? Is it a mental link?”“Hmm… in a way, yes, it is. Mental links only work within a small range of distance. The compass rose will allow you to count on any of us at any time you need it.”I frowned and said, “Us? What are you talking about?”As I heard him smile, he said, “I know I’m not the only one, my goddess. But it’s a price I’m willing to pay to have you with me again. I can share you, as long as I never separate from you again. I have waited for you for centuries, Suicune.”I sighed again. “Maddison.”“What do you m
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I stared at Alonso with wide eyes. I dried my hand and quickly took the phone from his hands.“Alice?”“Princess! I have tried to contact you, but to no avail. Have you seen your calendar?”I frowned and cursed myself for being careless. I sighed and said, “I haven’t seen it.”“You should come to my office as soon as possible. You know contraceptive injections are very effective, as long as they are given on time. It’s been three months since the last one.”“I totally understand, Alice. Because my first shift was last night and because of royal protocol, I cannot go out. Can you come to the palace? This is something that worries me a lot.”“No problem, princess. I’ll be there at noon.”“Thank you very much, Alice. See you at noon.” And without further ado, we both cut off communication.I looked up, and there was Alonso’s, waiting for some kind of explanation. I sighed and calmly said, “Can I finish showering?”He frowned and said, “I’ll wait outside.”I nodd
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.I frowned, confused. What the hell was she doing here? Who invited her? Why are Mom and Alonso in defensive mode? What is she planning now?As I am so clear that, if my Aunt Wilma is here, nothing good will come. I still have memories of when I was five years old, and she helped with my kidnapping.Although I don’t remember that she was the one who invaded the cabin I was in, I remember vividly that she came to my room to see me.I remember, as if it were yesterday, her words… “I will never allow you to be the queen, brat... You are nothing.”Therefore, I have never been happy that she exists, breathes or is simply alive.I crossed my arms and said, “Aunt Wilma…Who let you out of the hole you call home?”Her eyes widened, and she said, “Emma, is this how you raised this insolent brat? Without an iota of respect for their elders?”I smiled ironically. “Respect is earned, Wilma… Or don’t you remember what you told me when I was a little girl and Ezra kidnappe
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.For a second, I felt like I was dead. A sharp pain invaded my entire body, while a piercing sound overwhelmed my ears.I tried to get back up, with great difficulty, while I saw Alonso was trying to tell me something. I could see his lips moving, but I heard nothing. That completely disoriented me.As I opened and closed my eyes many times, hoping that my orientation would return, but to no avail. Since I couldn’t react, Alonso took me in his arms and carried me to another place.I looked around and everyone was running everywhere, while a large, dense curtain of dust and debris invaded us. What a few minutes ago was the inauguration of a new orphanage became a scene from a war movie.Suddenly, the sound came back.“Madison! Please little one, do you hear me?” Alonso shouted, totally desperate.I put a hand on his shoulder and in a whisper just said, “Yes, I hear you.”“Oh, thank you Goddess!” He smiled as he kissed my forehead.As I looked to my right again,
Maddison Spencer-Bennett One drink… Two drinks… Too many drinks later... I opened my eyes as the light was coming through the curtains. As I did so, I realized that my head was resting peacefully on a bare, toned chest. I walked away slowly, trying not to panic, because reality was hitting me hard: I had slept with a complete stranger. “Shit! I have to get out of here!” I whispered to myself, while looking for my lost clothes... today I was the one who had to do the walk of shame when leaving this room. A walk I had seen many times with the countless women who slept with the triplets. Every time I saw them leave the house embarrassed at dawn, I would give the talk to my brothers, as if I were the police of morality and good customs... and now, I was the one who committed the crime. Once dressed, I looked one last time at the stranger, who was sleeping in the bed, completely unconcerned. Without a doubt, I would never forget this night and I could never forget him, si
Maddison Spencer–Bennett “Where the fuck do you think you’re going, mate?” said the stranger, with a frown and a clenched jaw. I opened my eyes wide, swallowed hard and said, “Mate? What the hell are you talking about? I’m not your mate! Now, let me go!” I tried to get out of his grip, but he was stronger… much stronger than me. “I won’t let you go. I’ve been waiting sixteen years for you to be ready. And I will not stop claiming what is mine... And you, little mate? You were mine from the moment you were born.” Did he say that he had been waiting sixteen years for me to be ready? What does he know that I don’t? I watched him in silence. I cleared my throat and said to him, “Do you know who I am?” He sighed and said, “I’ve known you’re mine for years, Maddison. But I had to wait until you were ready. I wanted you to be the one to recognize me and choose me as your mate... but my wolf can no longer be far from you... I can’t be far from you, little one.” I frowned. Then I said,
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.So now I found out that my parents knew who one of my mates was years ago. Why the fuck didn’t anyone say anything? I don’t believe at all that it’s because “they wanted to protect my childhood.” Bullshit!I got out of bed and asked him the question that was on my mind. “Dad, why didn’t anyone tell me anything? And don’t say it was to protect me.”He opened his eyes wide, but it was Alonso who took my hand and said, “Because I asked them to, little mate.”I frowned and broke free from his grip. I crossed my arms and said, “Explain yourself.”He sighed and said, “Your parents wanted you to know about my existence years ago. I asked them not to tell you anything because I wanted you to get to know me without having expectations. Honestly, little one, I was terrified to think that I wouldn’t be enough for you.”This left me amazed and speechless.The most coveted CEO, admired and pursued by all women of all ages, was terrified that I would reject him? Hasn’t the
Maddison Spencer-Bennett. I sighed deeply, because Leonardo was right. I had to choose. And honestly, it was a simple decision. I would not deny what the goddesses were destined for me. No, this was one of the easiest decisions of my life. I took Alonso’s hand, smiled at him and said, “There’s nothing to choose from, honey. You are mine and I am yours. There is nothing wrong with that. So, out of this, we came out together.” The smile on his face grew wide and bright. He didn’t say he was proud of my decision, but it showed. “As you wish, little one. Here we go.” So, hand in hand, we left, accompanied by Alonso’s bodyguards. I had done this a million times... walking among journalists and having them bombard you with inappropriate questions. I have had to cultivate the patience to not respond to them in the way my brain was screaming to do so. And Alonso was no different than me. He also grew up in the public eye, so he was used to dealing with them as well. Maybe he did it muc

Maddison Spencer-Bennett.“Until we meet again, Suicune, goddess of the north wind. I told you I would find you again… mate.”Suicune? What the fuck was he talking about? Who was Suicune?As if they had heard my thoughts, a melodious feminine voice said, “I thought you were dead, Sokaris. What will it take to get rid of you? Damn Greek trash!”I opened my eyes wide as I understood that whoever said those words was none other than Selene.“Nice to see you too, Selene. You look old. Too much work?” He said, mocking the Moon Goddess.“Not as old as you, Sokaris. Have you been waiting for your soulmate for a long time? How sad that she doesn’t recognize you.” She said in a sarcastic tone, which was strange to hear coming from her.Usually, Selene was the demurest and composed of the three, but… I think she had a lot of history with this man.Soulmate? What the fuck was Selene talking about? What had they been doing without us knowing?“Kallie, do you have any idea what they’re talking abo
Maddison Spencer-Bennett. I woke up in an empty bed. I looked around, but my hot mate was not with me. And I must admit, I was a little disappointed. But there I saw the note. I picked it up and read it, making me smile with each line. I sighed and fell onto the bed, holding the note to my chest. “You are so horny, woman! Now, we will have to suffer in the night!” I frowned and said, “What are you talking about, Kallie?” “That you were so horny and angry at the same time, that you heard nothing I screamed! I told you that you won’t let yourself be marked until after the shift… But you never listen!” “I still don’t understand, Kallie.” She growled in frustration and stormed off to the far reaches of my mind, leaving me with unanswered questions. I put that conversation aside, so that it wouldn’t affect my excellent mood. It had been years since I felt so happy and complete. Knock, knock, knock. “Come in!” I shouted, still dreaming, awake with the unforgettable night that Alons
Alonso Corleone.After the events that occurred the day before, I couldn’t sleep at all. Therefore, I spent that valuable time tirelessly fucking my little mate.I didn’t want her to notice that I didn’t want to talk. Communication was something I had always struggled with. I wasn’t always good at it and often ended up screwing up even more. So I did what I did best: dodge.The next morning, I got up before the sun came up. I had many things to do if I wanted to finish Wilma’s mask.Sixteen years ago, when she tried to kidnap Maddison, along with the former King Harry’s beta, Wilma was sentenced to life in prison for her crimes.For ten years, Wilma showed good behavior and requested a reduction in her sentence, which was accepted and, a year ago, she was released on parole.Warren believed his sister had been rehabilitated from the brainwashing that the former king, his father, had carried out on her, but, apparently, the rotten fruit had no salvation.The queen never agreed with the
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.After I took the bath to relax my nerves, I fell asleep. During all that time, I didn’t hear from Alonso, which made me angry... no, scratch that. I was so pissed off.I think I fell asleep just because of anger.As I don’t know what time it was when I heard a noise. I sat up in bed, trying to look in the dark. I scratched my eyes, wanting to wake up.“I didn’t mean to wake you. I’m sorry.” Alonso’s hoarse voice made me wake up immediately.I frowned and said, “Where the hell were you? Do you have any idea how worried I was?”He looked at me silently while he unbuttoned his shirt, also frowning. He said, “It’s none of your business, Maddison.”And who does he think I am? Does he think I’m one of his employees?!With anger pumping, I grabbed one pillow and threw it in his face. He stared at me, eyes wide, totally surprised.“Don’t answer me that way, Alonso. Remember well who I am. I’m not your employee. I am the future queen.”“And remember that you’re not ta
Third point of view.The question that was on everyone’s mind and there was no answer. Alonso had sworn to Maddison that nothing had happened, and she believed him, so seeing the news left her shocked.“I already remembered what happened. Start explaining, Alonso. Did you get Crystal pregnant?”Alonso stood looking at her with wide eyes and in complete silence. The seconds seemed like hours to her.He sighed and said, “No. I told you nothing happened with her. Also, I got her to sign the end of the contract, and I had asked Leonardo to monitor her because I knew she would come out with some shit like this.”Now she was the one who remained silent. Alonso frowned and said, “And it really offends me you don’t trust me, Maddison.”“Alonso, I…”“I nothing, Maddison. It’s my name that’s on everyone’s lips. I’m the one who lost her best friend, or so I thought she was. The only thing I needed from you was your trust. So, thank you, mate.”Guilt overwhelmed her completely. The princess was s
