Madeline’s POV

Obviously, 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,

    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 POVAll day long, Keiran was acting weird, and the questions within me were getting even stronger. When our eyes met after what I heard from the warriors, he entered the academy, and I didn’t see him again.Since I was on patrol now, I changed clothes as soon as we were dismissed from the academy and sprinted to the forest, letting the evening air crips brush through my skin while my fingertips glided to the rough tree trunks I passed by.It was a lovely night. After the stressful night I had yesterday and the day I had today with Helena over my shoulder and Keiran’s stress, I started to feel relaxed.When I looked down at my wrist watch, I realised that there was only half an hour left before the border patrol started. I slapped my forehead for being out of it and turned to meet Leo and the others.However, as I passed through the bushes, I caught sight of something behind… or more like someone.My eyes narrowed, and I moved carefully, trying not to scare off whoever it wa

    Madeline’s POV“Why are you still here?”I was surprised to see Helena still in the outside field and punching the hell out of that wheat straw mannequin on my way back to my room, which was now officially inside the pack house like the rest of the other pack members.I guess that’s an upgrade for me. A sign that I was slowly being accepted into the pack. Or at least, that’s what I was hoping for.Halting, she swiftly pulled the towel hanging from the arms of the wheat straw and wiped her sweat.Pointedly looking at her. I gestured at her drenched shirt. “So…”Smirking as she continued wiping off her sweat, she shrugged her shoulders. “What can I say? After training with you for weeks, it now feels less like training someone who isn’t on par with my skills.”“Maybe go to Jonax or one of his goons,” I joked, but went to grab a hand bandage. I needed some exercise anyway to put my mind off Keiran’s weird reaction to those stupid carvings.Helena snickered. “You mean the one you kick the

    Madeline’s POVI watched from a distance until Helena vanished from my sight. I was deep in my thoughts as I played with the bottle of water, jiggling it from one hand to another.When I heard rustling coming from the forest, I subconsciously hid in the side of the training wheat straw. My eyes narrowed at the sight of Keiran walking out of the forest with dirty claws and tiny bits of tree bark.“I believe I told you to go back.”I closed my eyes in annoyance as I felt a presence behind me and heard Keiran’s voice. Turning around, I looked up at him and shrugged my shoulders. “I did go away from your sight.”Raising my hands up in the air in fake surrender, I walked back to the pack house, dramatically showing it to him. “Here I am, alright? And have your hand look up by Mara before you scare more of your people than you already did.”With that, I pretended to go to my room, but then took a turn after making sure he wasn’t looking at me anymore.Following Helena’s gesture, I went to t

    Madeline’s POV“Ouch! Can’t you be more careful?” Despite the fear building up in my heart, I still managed to let that sarcastic remark, which seemed like it had already become my defense mechanism.I rubbed my wrist, which had a red mark around right now, after he gripped it so tightly as he dragged me along the hallway and into his office before throwing me onto his couch. Without mercy or any care, if I may add.“Explain,” he uttered with gritted teeth, staying at the doorway as he slammed the door closed and locked it.To say that it didn’t add to the building fear in my heart would be a total lie.“Are you going to tell me why you are digging into my past, or do you want me to dig the answer fr

    Madeline’s POVI looked at Keiran pointedly as I offered a small, sympathetic smile, continuing, “I worked my ass off to master combat skills so I could protect the man she was so worried about until her last breath. The same man she feared would drown in his own sorrow.”His eyes dropped to my hand, still resting gently on his arm. Slowly, he followed its trail until our gazes met.“She was always so selfless,” he murmured with a hollow laugh, though the pain behind it was as loud as a scream. “How... How could she still be thinking about me while she was dying?”“Because that’s how much she loved you,” I said softly, trying to offer comfort. “And I know for a fact she wouldn’t want to see you closing yourself off from the world, hurting and dying on the inside.”But he flinched at my words like I’d struck him. Stepping back, he pulled away from my touch.Right. I must have overstepped.He had opened up, but that didn’t mean we were close—not after everything I’d seen in that archive

    Madeline's POVThe air was heavy with silence engulfing us in a warm but tense embrace. The silence felt unbearable as I sat in front of him, watching him look troubled.His elbows were on his desk, hands clasped together, supporting his bowed head. He looked so much in pain, guilt radiating all over him.Seeing the inner struggle he seemed to be putting himself into, I sighed and extended my hand, squeezing his. “You let him go. The pup… You did great, Keiran. You’re not the monster everyone sees you to be.”Everyone looked at him like a monster, despite the respect they had for him as their Alpha. He might have done well in the pack, which they saw, but the fear they had toward him from what happened that day was still embedded in their hearts.An alpha feared by his own pack… How hard could that be?He looked up at me, shaking his head slowly. “It wasn’t mercy either. I was just… afraid. I didn’t want to face him.”His face was tense, his jaws clenching and lips pursing. “I didn’t

    Madeline’s POVHe didn’t respond. He just sat there, staring at me like he was trying to read my thoughts, like he was trying to memorise me.And despite everything he’d said, his walls hadn’t fully crumbled. There was just a crack in them.And somehow, I was standing right in it.Whether that was fortunate or not… only time would tell.“Don’t make the mistake of caring for me, Adeline,” he said quietly after a long silence.I shrugged and stood up, smirking faintly. “Too late.”As I walked out of his office and into my room, I couldn’t stop my mind from replaying everything that had happened between us. The shift was so sudden, like whiplash. One minute we were at each other’s throats—or more like, he was at mine—and now this...Maybe it was the anger that made him snap open. Maybe it was hearing about Francine. Or maybe it was an accident. A moment of weakness.But whatever it was, it left something behind—something raw and quietly terrifying. That little crack between us... It was

    Madeline’s POVRight after Amanda and Felix left, I went straight to my room and stayed there. I didn’t want to risk bumping into Keiran—not when I knew he’d ask questions I didn’t have the answers for.As much as I hated to admit it, I was running out of time. Things had already gone on longer than they should have, and with Amanda and Felix showing up—something told me that wouldn’t be their last visit—I could feel the pressure closing in. Sooner or later, my identity would come out. I just didn’t expect “sooner” to feel so close.It’s been two days since then. Honestly, I thought avoiding Keiran would be hard… but surprisingly, it wasn’t. I hadn’t seen him at all. Not even at the academy.Even Tom wasn’t around.“Is something going on?” I asked Helena as we sat in the canteen having lunch. The peaceful atmosphere felt off, like something was coming but hadn’t landed yet.Helena bit into her bread and shrugged like it was just another day. “In this pack? Something’s always going on.

    Keiran’s POV“We got a problem.”“Great!” I sarcastically thought.Just what I needed after dealing with Princess Amanda and Alpha Felix.The pile of documents in front of me was already tall enough to make me want to throw myself out the nearest window, and my inbox hadn’t stopped dinging all morning. I hadn’t even had five minutes of peace after they left before Tom showed up at my office door with that sentence.Irritably putting down the document I had in my hand and looking away from my computer, I swivelled my chair to face Tom, who was standing at my doorway with a serious expression.“What now?” I asked impatiently.Tom looked like he didn’t want to be the one to say it. His gaze shifted for a second before he sighed and admitted, “Princess Amanda and Alpha Felix decided to stay. She said she only needed to use the bathroom, but before I knew it, they were already staying in the academy and watching training.”I slammed my hands on my desk, sharply gazing at him. “And you’re o

    Madeline’s POV“I thought you already left, Princess?” I looked up from my seat on the ground when I heard Keiran’s voice as he approached the training ground.Amanda, who was having fun taunting me, was seated on the other side of the room, elegantly leaning back on her seat with a smirk on her face.She didn’t even bother to glance at Keiran and smirked, her eyes staring at me. “And miss all this fun?”Shifting her gaze to him, she continued, “You have a great academy. I’m just really curious about their talents.”Keiran followed Amanda’s glance at me and narrowed his eyes. I swallowed in anxiousness, knowing that sooner or later, I’d be back in his office and being interrogated.He opened his lips and uttered more words to her, but I didn’t hear their conversation anymore when someone blocked my view of them. “Why didn’t you hide?”I looked up at him and gritted my teeth. “Why are you guys here? Why didn’t you warn me?”Felix, looking half dead, shrugged his shoulders. “Will it cha

    Madeline’s POVTuned to my wolf’s presence, my sense of smell also heightened, especially in needed times. Despite being in the middle of sparring, I immediately caught the scent of Amanda and Felix as soon as they entered the academy.When I felt them getting near us, I immediately halted and pretended to be tired.“What’s the matter?” Helena asked.Shaking my head, I stretched my fist. “Nothing, just tired. Let’s wrap this up.”“I’ll go and change first,” I muttered as I nodded toward the locker room behind her.She let out a laugh between her pants. “That’s a new one. It’s our 10th round already, but you always push yourself to the limit before. What change?”With my eyes, I looked at my peripheral vision and caught shadows of Keiran and the others closing in. “I don’t like the air.”Looking behind me, she rolled her eyes and nodded. “I get what you mean.”I only smiled at her comment and let her think that the reason I was leaving was the same as hers - the hate for royal members.

    Keiran’s POVFelix was jolted by my question, and his shoulders tensed before he subconsciously looked away. Clearing his throat, he shook his head and replied, “No.”Forcing a smile, he added, “Just... fascinated with their training, that’s all.”I narrowed my eyes, unconvinced. There was something off about him—too guarded, too rehearsed. My instincts prickled, warning me that something beneath the surface wasn’t right. Testing the waters, I tilted my head toward the training field.“Then maybe,” I said slowly, watching his expression closely, “we could stay and watch one of the sparring matches.”I pointed subtly in the direction of the field. “Those two over there—Helena and Adeline—they’re some of the best warriors in the academy. I’m sure it’ll be worth your while.”Felix flinched—just for a split second, but I caught it. He masked it quickly, but it was there. And before he could reply, Princess Amanda chimed in, her voice sugary-sweet.“Really?” she asked, tightening her grip

    Keiran’s POV“What’s the plan?” Tom asked as we got inside the office, setting down the invitation on my table.I look at it with disdain and shake my head before leaning back on my seat. Shrugging, I nonchalantly replied, “Greet them is all. It’s just a meeting. There’s no need for a party or anything.”“But–”He tried to protest, but I gestured a zip motion with my finger and lips. “But nothing. It’s just the royal family being spoiled brats again.”Tom looked at me hesitantly. “But won’t they think we are being disrespectful? I mean, as powerful as our pack is, it’s still the kingdom.”Sighing, I pushed the invitation his way. “Then we’ll greet them with warriors and shit at their arrival make them feel important. Anything beyond that…”I pursed my lips and waved my hand in dismissal.Tom smirked at me and shook his head in both admiration and disbelief. “I really don’t know where you’re getting your guts.”With that, he turned and left.And just as I said, it’s what we did. Early

    Madeline’s POVMy heart stopped beating, and the bags I’m carrying slipped out of my hand, falling to the ground, while my eyes opened wide as I watched the scene before me unfold with unsettling feelings.“From the kingdom?” Keiran asked, and the messenger nodded his head as he handed the red envelope with a dry gold seal on top.Holding the letter, he looked in my direction and raised his brows. “Everything alright, Adeline?”“Adeline!” Helena smacked me in my shoulder, putting me out of the haze before she gestured at Keiran, who was still waiting for my reply.“Y-yes, of course.” I want to smack myself again for stuttering as I hurried to pick up the bags I dropped and walked together with Helena toward him.Acting clueless and nonchalant, I nodded at his hand. “What is that about?”“From the palace? Is something big happening?” Helena asked, just as curious as I was. The only difference was that her question was directed to Tom.Keiran and Tom looked at both of us weirdly before

    Madeline’s POVWe stood in silence as the wind rustled around us as if sucking something from within our souls… And after a few minutes, I felt free… I felt light…When I rejected Felix, there was a heavy feeling that lingered within me, the small piece of our mate bond, which I thought I could live through and wouldn’t matter along the way. But when he spoke those words and accepted my rejection, it felt different.A subconscious smile spread from my lips as I heaved a sigh of relief. I didn’t know I was holding on.He let out a scoff that hid beneath his small smile. “Now, you’re smiling. I guess I did the right thing.”Hearing him say that made me realise that I was being a little insensitive. Indeed, he broke my heart, but he was also my childhood best friend and the one who helped me escape, and he was still helping me now.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, after all, he was here in an enemy pack and risking his life…My brows furrowed. Did he risk his life just to accept my rejection?C

    Madeline’s POVBecause of what happened last night, the patrol and security around the pack house became even tighter.“Come on, we’ll be late!” I shouted from downstairs while waiting for Helena, who was rushing from the pack house. Without her, I might not be able to leave and meet with Felix.Fortunately, she had plans to go to the market today and buy some supplies for the training.“Why are you in a rush, girl?” she asked suspiciously as soon as we got settled in the car.Rolling down the car window, I let the fresh breeze of air blow my hair and the warmth of the sunlight touch my skin. With my eyes closed, enjoying the sensation, I replied, “I just want the fresh air. It felt like forever since I got out of the pack.That was the truth, though. Since I got inside the pack house, I never left the pack, and that’s what most of us thought as well – that I was a prisoner.At first, I went with Helena everywhere she wanted me to go. We checked boxing gloves, weapons, and even new tr
