2025-03-23 15:30:26Keiran’s POV
“How is it going?” I asked as I entered the academy’s backfield, standing beside Ted, who was supervising today’s sparring session.
Today, he had made them spar on the field. He nodded at the middle of the field where Adeline was battling with a bulky freshman. If I remembered it right, he’s Gage, the Gamma’s nephew.
I crossed my arms and sharply watched as pairs of trainees simultaneously sparred.
Dort covered their combat boots from hours of relentless drills, sweat drenching their shirts, and exhaustion visible in their rugged breathing.
Others already fell to the side, muscle spasming from over-fatigue.
“She’s still up…&rdquo

Madeline’s POVMy heart raced incredibly fast as I watched Keiran storm off, leaving me standing there surrounded by clueless yet curious trainees.Swallowing with difficulty, I raised my shirt and covered my scar before running off, feeling the silence that fell on the training ground suddenly deafening and their stares were like lasers to my my skin.With my back on the mirror, I removed my shirt, looking back behind me through the mirror as I raced my scar with my finger.The memory of that tragic night once again flickered in my mind. My mother’s frantic shouts and the metallic scent of blood in the air. “Maddie! No!”That was my mother’s scream befo

Keiran’s POVThe sight of that scar really fueled the burning fire within me, and I momentarily lost control of myself. How could I do that in front of my pack? More importantly, in front of the trainees.After storming off, I went straight to my office, slamming the door right as I entered.“She’s lying!” Brax growled.Shaking my head, I grabbed my swivel chair and opened my locked drawer, pulling out a picture frame from the inside. It’s a photo of me and Francine when we got married. “I don’t know, Brax… Maybe she really doesn’t remember.”He let out a snarl. “You saw the way she panicked. She’s hiding something.”“

Madeline’s POVThe night was deep, and the breeze was cold. The wind rustled through the trees while I was seated on the giant tree’s roots, curled into a ball, with my eyes stinging from tears.My hands were covering my ears, trying to block out the voices that followed me wherever I went. I was gifted, with a hearing heightened than average werewolves. But growing up, it's more of a curse than a gift.I could hear from miles away the whispers of blame, resentment, and hatred coming from my pack members and my family. The scrutiny they have over me… All the while, all they had for Amanda was sweet praises.But their words, as sharp as swords,s weren’t what pained me. In fact, I was long numbed by those things. What really hurt me was the non-stop voices I heard a few

Madeline’s POVI wanted to comprehend what Francine was trying to tell me. Analyze who she wanted me to protect. But before I could actually think straight, the guilt started eating me alive, more than it did a few years back.The whispers of my packmates filled with scrutiny before never felt so real as they echoed in my mind. All their accusations, resentment, and hatred that I managed to push away started to feel so heavy.“She killed the Queen.”“It’s all because of her.”“Damn, right it is, she’s cursed!”“It should’ve been her instead…”“Stop…” I breathed heavily, clutching my chest as I put down my legs on the floor and sat on the edge of my bed with my torso bent down and head bowed between my legs, gasping for air, begging, “Stop it…”My palms were pressed on my ears, rocking myself slightly to ease the panic crushing my soul.“Adeline? Adeline! Are you there?”I turned my head in panic, looking at the pounding knock as I heard Helena’s voice outside, knocking.Covering my li

Madeline’s POVMy hand held the knob of his office door tightly as all sorts of emotions fought within me, overwhelming my entire being.As I twist it, I am ready to step out and prepare for what’s more to come. With how he had sounded, I’d say having him kick me out like what I wanted would be a miracle, and letting me stay without making my life a living hell would be something ot be grateful about already.“You’ll stay in the pack.”My eyes widened, and my body froze right at the doorway.Did I hear him right? He wanted me to stay? What kind of punishment would he want me to face, though?He’s Alpha Keiran, and I’m at the Demonmaw Nightwalker Pack. They're the boogeyman parents who used the past three years for their pups. I knew his madness would get the best of him, and look at me with prejudice.I knew to myself that I didn’t kill Luna. I was just there at the wrong time and the wrong place. On the other hand, my trying to save Francine was what caused my Mom’s death. But I’m not

Madeline’s POV“You’ve been staring at them for ten minutes now. Thinking about joining?”Right after eating, we stood at the corner of the training field, watching the others spar in pairs. I was lazily staring at the front while Helena was sipping water from her bottle, giving me side-eyes every now and then.My eyes landed on Jaxon, who was sparing quite aggressively with his partner while giving me quick glances. “I’d rather not add more fuel to the fire.”It’s my break anyway. I’m not obligated to join the training.Helena grinned, turning to her side to face me. “Smart choice. Jaxon’s still sore about losing to you. If you step on that field, he’ll make sure you regret it.”I snickered and rolled my eyes. “He’s not exactly subtle about it.”She shook her head but snorted a little in understanding. “Well, it wasn’t really his best suit.”Silence enveloped us for a little while, but I could feel her staring at me, studying my reactions. “You’re still thinking about earlier, aren’t

Madeline’s POVChill ran through my spine at his question. Were they? Were those people from the palace? Did they already know about me hiding in here?But if there’s one pack the palace was cautious about, it would be this pack. There’s no way they’d be foolish enough to have the palace warriors round up this pack, much less send a spy in here.Were they?“I… I don’t know…” I replied instead. He’d kill me or throw me away if he learned it's possible that the threat had soemthing ot do with me.He stood right in front of me, eyes looking down into mine as he spoke dangerously, “If you’re keeping things from me, you’re putting my entire pack at risk.”I swallowed hard. “I’m not lying.”He didn’t completely believe me as he hissed at me before grabbing his jacket from the stand and gesturing for me to follow him. “Which side of the border? I’ll handle it.”“What exactly did you see?” he asked quietly, trying not to scare off anyone if there was still someone left.We walked alongside ea

Madeline’s POVI surveyed the surroundings first before I ran toward the forest, standing beneath the tree where Felix was hiding. Looking up, I hissed in a sharp but low voice, “What the hell are you doing here, Felix?”“Madeline…” he whispered back before he maneuvered and jumped off the tree and onto the ground right in front of me.Urgency was written all over his face as he took a step forward and held both my shoulders worriedly, speaking in a hushed voice, “I came to warn you. Mark knows you’re here.”As if burned, I took a step back and shrugged his hold off of me as I felt my pulse quickening. Damn, mate bond!I couldn’t wait

Keiran’s POV“I… I don’t know…”I looked down at Madeline’s pale face and struggling body as she spoke in a hoarse and breathless voice.She was hurting, and I wanted to let go, but the anger within me was too overwhelming to stop. What I heard from her was enough for me to lose control, as it touched something that had been long buried – three years.Suddenly, upon hearing it from where I passed through her room when I was patrolling, that name started to echo in my mind.“Keidun… Keidun… Keidun…” The name being spoken so many times, countless times, with different emotions by someone I could never forget in this lifetime.No one knew about that name… at least no one besides my pack, and no one dared to say that name except for one person. The person who died a long time ago.The woman I love the most and I buried myself three years ago.Right after I let Adeline lose, I ran back to where she was buried, right on the top of the cliff where she always loved to go. It was overlooking t

Madeline’s POVObviously, after Keiran’s painful visit to me last night, I wasn’t able to gain another sleep and went to the academy the next morning looking like a damn panda with an eye bag and black eye around my eyes.To wonder why that simple thing wasn’t healed by my wolf abilities… Well, it turned out it wasn’t even a wound to heal, so Andy couldn’t care less to use extra of her power and time to do something about it.Credit to my first shift, which everyone was talking about, as my shift was unusual because it never hurt that much for the others and not to mention the crescent moon on my wolf’s head, the rumor about me being a spy subsided a bit and was covered up by my shifting.And the best advantage that I got… was that I didn’t have to train today and only had to watch because my body underwent an an immense shift.So, as cruel as Helena in training could be and this pack was, they still have a little bit of humanity left in them.Sitting at the edge of the training field

Madeline’s POVMy entire body ached like hell as I lay sprawled on my small bed. Right after that suffocating experience from being back to that place, Andy and I decided to go back and she help me shift back to my human form.All of my muscles were buzzing from the aftershock of my first shift. Nonetheless, I couldn’t stop the smile spreading on my lips from the happiness.All night long, Andy had been giddy and sassy, ten times happier than I, but she finally went quiet and retreated to the back of my mind, allowing me a moment of peace.But despite that, I still felt sleepless as my thoughts spun wildly back at that name Francine uttered… “Keidun.”That name echoed in my head as if a broken cassette was repeatedly being played in my mind.It’s still on my mind, but I guess my body finally felt the same exhaustion I was feeling, and my eyelids finally grew heavier until darkness consumed me into a deep slumber.I was in my own oblivion when I suddenly felt suffocated, and my eyes sn

Madeline’s POV“Come on! We haven’t been training for the past couple of weeks for nothing! Is that all you got?”Helena shouted in between her kicks and deadly punches. If I had thought she was ruthless before, today would have been different. Just when I thought she had nothing more, she went on and pushed me even further.Her moments were of a speed of light, and her strikes were harder than it was in the days before. Her every strike landed on me as my reflexes were suddenly too slow compared to hers. I couldn’t avoid her attacks, and it’s making me grit in both pain and determination.My muscles screamed in protest, my skin bruised with pain, and the exhaustion I had fallen onto for the past few days was starting to catch up with me.“No comebacks today, Adeline? What, cut your tongue?” she joked, making others snicker.Grinding my teeth, I glared at her and growled.Instead of being annoyed, she nodded in approval. “That’s it. Get mad, show what you really got.”I widened the ga

Madeline’s POVI wasn’t really aware of what kind of investigation or move Keiran was doing behind the scenes. All I knew was that the tension around me had been building for days, and so he had better hurry up and deal with Jason. Ever since Jonas started spreading rumors about me, I had felt the stares and heard the barely concealed whispers that followed me everywhere I went.Slowly, as it was keen on what I experienced in the kingdom with my own pack, I was getting used to it.But today, it reached a breaking point.I had just finished training, and my body was aching from another brutal sparring session with Helena, when I felt something different. The air was heavy with tension, and there was an unmistakable weight of eyes looking around me, and the hushed quiet fell.But as the old saying goes, sometimes it’s just the silence before the storm, and they were right. Because a few yards away from the academy, right at the corner before the barracks I was staying in, I saw a couple

Madeline’s POVBefore Jonas and I got into a deeper conversation, Ted came in and started the training, dispersing everyone into their designated group to spar, leaving me once again in Helena’s kind hands.Unbothered by the pain in my body, I went straight to Keiran’s office right after the training. As usual, I didn’t bother knocking.I simply pushed the doors open and marched straight in front of his desk, where he was flipping through home reports. Sighing, he remarked dryly, “If you’re going to continue barging in, at least try to make it entertaining.”Letting his side remark aside, I sharply hissed at him, informing him, “There’s a spy in your pack.”That seemingly got his attention as he closed the folder down and put it down, but when he leaned back to look at me and clasped his hands together, I could see that he remained uninterested and merely patronising me.Raising a bow, he asked boringly, “Is that so?”I tried to stop myself from cursing out some sarcastic remark and h

Madeline’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of the forest with my pulse pounding against my temple as I stared into the abyss, all while the strange warrior’s words echoed in my head.“Damn it!” I muttered once I recovered from shock, clenching my fist before I kicked a pebble, almost making it fly a hundred miles away.Suddenly, a twig behind me snapped, alerting me. I whirled around with a hammering heart and was ready to strike, but found that it was just one of the patrol warriors in my team, Leo.He raised his hand and approached me with a wary look. “Woah, easy.”Surveying me with his eyes, he frowned. “Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.”“How long have you been there?” I asked, silently wondering if he saw that guy with the same warrior pin as he was wearing.Leo raised an eyebrow, looking sceptical. “What do you mean?”Seeing as he was clueless, I decided to keep my mouth shut first until I knew more. Hence, I merely exhaled sharply and shook my head. “Never min

Madeline’s POVI stared at Keiran in disbelief as I clenched my fist, feeling frustration bubbling inside of me.Clenching my jaws, I pursed my lips before I held my head high and firmly uttered with conviction, “I will.”His brows raised in surprise. A hint of amusement even glinted in his eyes. “Oh yeah? And how exactly?”“I want to join the next patrol near the border,” I uttered without hesitation.Even first year trainees were considered as warrior as soon as they finished 30 hours of training with same class and at least a day with senior and all of us already reached that level, but only the chosen ones from the freshman level were allowed to join the patrol, unlike seniors like Helena who were almost considered as full pledge warriors already.He sat up straight, studying me closely with a frown before shaking his head. “You’re not ready. Not yet. You don’t even have your wolf yet.”Aggregated, I strode toward his desk and intensely looked at him. “I can handle myself. And thi

Madeline’s POV“Agh! She really didn’t hold back!” I complained in pain as I let myself fall back on my mattress, feeling my entire body stiff and in pain from Helena’s strikes.Her strikes were too rough, so much so that my body wasn’t healing too fast, and there are still some bruising marks on the surface of my skin.I covered my eyes with my arms and let the silence surround me with peace, but that silence later brought me an unsettling feeling. My eyelids were already getting heavier from exhaustion, but I sat up in an instant upon hearing a faint rustling out of line, which wasn’t made by nature.“What the hell?” I cursed under my breath as I stood up cautiously and went toward the window, peeking through the small ajar curtain. At first, everything was too dark and I couldn't see anything, but then the clouds were moved by the wind and the moon cast a faint glow on the edge of the forest.And that’s when I saw something… faint footprints just beneath my window and onto the fore
