MADELINE'S POV
"The shameless bitch lost my baby. Who told her to interfere with the affairs of the slaves and servants. I strongly instructed her to be careful with what she takes for the sake of the baby and out of carelessness she gobbled down a herbal tonic that wasn't hers to take in the beginning. For disobeying me and killing my pup due to carelessness, I am going to punish her dearly for it."Dan!!!, his voice bellowed which showed he was smitten with anger, "Bring Madeline to the execution room". He commanded and he sauntered angrily out of the hallway.From my room well enclosed with brick walls, I could hear Alpha Konan’s voice thundering and ranting. Alpha Konan had always been unsympathetic and ruthless when dealing with me and today's own will definitely be the height of it. I huddled myself together on the tiny bed in my room, my gaze fixated on the wall opposite of me.Alpha Konan is the father of the unborn baby and the unborn baby was also responsible for part of the prestige he currently possessed, so it was okay for him to behave this way. For me, it was the direct opposite. Alpha Konan saw the baby as an added feather to his fleets of achievement, I saw the unborn child as my solace and consolation. At least if the baby was successfully born, I would earn a little tiny respect from him.Fast forward to now, everything had gone down the drain, scattered with the wind. I knew this was going to make me suffer more hardships, disrespect and scorn from him and every trusted ally around him.My room door opened ajar and a warrior werewolf came in and escorted me to the execution room. He poked me with the stick he held in his hands with no form of respect till I got to the execution room. I was still wearing my dress, the dress which I wore when I miscarried my baby.It was stained with blood, dry blood and I was unwilling to let go of the dress that made me see the color red travelling all the way from my womanhood, trickling down my thighs, and forming a river of blood on the ground below me.Alpha Konan stood up from his seat and dragged me from where I was standing and threw me to the ground mercilessly making me wince in pain.The execution room not only contained Alpha Konan, it lied people who had disdain, disgust and scorn evident in their faces. I wasn't one who liked to be pitied but my knees became weaker when I saw no evidence of pity in any of their faces.With my vision becoming more blurry than ever, I huddled myself together on the cold tiled floor, gathering my blood stained garment to cover the dried blood on my thighs and legs and waited patiently for Alpha Konan's judgement."For killing Alpha Konan's baby out of your undue carelessness, I sentence you to hard labor." My once gloomy eyes widened than normal and I sincerely hope I didn't hear well.I knew what hard labor looked like in Oceanwolf pack. But as a contracted mate to Alpha Konan I didn't deserve this kind of treatment and punishment. I was ready to endure everything but not hard labor. Hard labor in Oceanwolf pack involves you to do all forms of jobs and atrocities, even enlist you for war if they were short of warrior wolves. This, I wasn't going to survive."Alpha Konan, please. Tamper justice with mercy. It was not intentional for me to miscarry the baby."He walked up to me with full length angry strides, crouched to my level and squeezed my jaw whispering into my ear."Look Madeline, this is the start of the hell you are going to see. You will regret ever knowing me or having anything to do with me. For killing my child, I am going to kill you a thousand times. You will crave death and you won't find it anywhere. You are not even allowed to take your own life because if you do, I will go to the ends of the earth to revive you"."I only have the rights to kill you in this life." He looked into my eyes with all irritation and stood up and I was left dumbfounded."Drag her out of here," Alpha Konan commanded and two guards came and dragged me out. I struggled under their grip and pleaded repeatedly. Who was I kidding?This is the true nature of Alpha Konan. When he makes up his mind, it is final. All my plea fell on deaf ears and when I got to my room, a servant lady was already waiting to escort me to my new hellhole and my things had already been packed.There was not even time to bid the room who had seen most of my tears goodbye. With my blood stained clothes, I trudged behind the servant lady to my new hell hole. On my way, I reminisced all the events that caused me to be in this position today.SIX MONTHS AGOMy name is Madeline, born and bred in Oceanwolf pack. My family was among the poorest of the poor in the pack and living life every day was frustrating. Because of our predicament, my parents sold me to the Alpha family of the pack and I was forced to go work for them and also serve them.I came into the Alpha's mansion when I was twelve and I had served them diligently and effortlessly for the past ten years. In those ten years, I often came across Konan and his brothers. And anytime we crossed paths, he made sure to bully me. He made me drink wolfsbane once to satisfy his curiosity on how wolves react to the deadly poison and I almost lost my life.All thanks to the moon goddess and the timely intervention of the Alpha, Konan's father. He punished him severely for it and that was the last I saw of Konan and the bullying stopped.Konan's installation as the new Alpha is tomorrow and preparations were at its highest. Everyone and everywhere was in a hustle and bustle trying to make the ceremony grand and perfect, befitting for the new upcoming Alpha.Top leaders from other packs were all invited to grace the ceremony and everyone was on their tippy toes because it was also a time to drink and eat without constraint.I prepared the best dress I had. It was a white flowing dress, closely and neatly knitted to cinch my upper body and accentuate the curves of my lower body.It was time for Konan to make the grand entrance and greet the dignitaries present and the pack he was going to rule. He made his grand entrance wearing clothes made of leather and a purple cape well endowed with shiny stones.It was a costume made dress well befitting for royalty. He walked with confidence and well composed strides, the dim light in the great hall well addressing his manly features.He was strikingly handsome, with his well toned muscles and chiseled jaws ready to cut through anything clean without leaving rough edges. The tattoos on his body creeping out of his arms and neck added to his every dark aura.His appearance according to the rumors were all true and looking at him up close, I could attest to it.Everyone clapped in appreciation and approval. The grand ceremony to welcome the new Alpha ended and it was time to make merry. Every servant and guard were all given the night off to join in the bliss of enjoyment. Everybody I saw around had bottle of alcohol in hand and I decided to unwind a little and joined the crew.It graduated from a bottle, to two, and more till I took a particular drink that messed me up. The effect of the alcohol kicked in immediately. This was different from the others I had taken and I began feeling uncomfortable, dizzy and hot inside. I lacked coordination and I staggered my way into a well nicely arranged room.Who is there? A thick rich voice thundered from somewhere within the room. I flinched and at that moment I took cognizance of the shadow in the corner, hairs matted to his face.In my intoxicated state, I came closer to him and I came in contact with his icy blue stare, his musky and alluring scent filling my nose. The stranger engaged me in an eye contact which had me unflinching under his gaze.In a twinkling, he wrapped his hands around my neck and pinned me to the wall behind me, his hot breath fanning my face making the hairs on my neck stand. I could tell he was drunk too. Whatever followed next was what I couldn't comprehend but it was blissful.That was my first and one of the top notch intimacy I ever had and also one that sent my life rolling down into the great abyss.ALPHA KONAN'S POVI woke up to the sun sending piercing rays through my room window. I squinted my eyes to avoid the rays from getting further entrance into my eyes. I sat upright on my bed and ran my hands on my disheveled hair and I noticed I was sharing my bed with someone. Not that it was something new or anything. It happened almost everyday of the week. It was like a normal routine for me. The lady on my bed was stark naked with only the duvet to cover her shame. I could see the crimson red under where she slept then I knew for a fact that she was a virgin I just broke.I took a close look at her and found out it was Madeline, my most dreaded and mortal servant. How come she ended up in my room and sharing a bed with me. Come to think of it, this was the first time I had taken alcohol and it clouded my sense of judgement. Something wasn't just right. The alcohol contained something else I wasn't aware of."What have I just done?" I scrunched my face and face palmed. Of all the
ALPHA KONAN'S POVWerewolves are always excited when they hear of mates, their fated ones. And if by age eighteen their fated ones have not been found, they are thrown into anxiety and sometimes leading to incurable depression. I had never for once taken mates seriously. I called it one of the age long nuisance of werewolves. It has been a tradition followed by all the werewolf race, but I single handedly chose and resolved not to follow that traditional path.It has not been up to twenty four hours since I was conferred the alpha title and the council of elders are all fervently encouraging me to commence the journey of parenthood and bear children who will continue the legacy. Today is my mate choosing ceremony and selected girls were ready for me to choose from. It was not my kind of thing but I just had to be present. This was the first ceremony organized for me since I became the alpha.Everyone was gathered in the great hall when I arrived and my selection ceremony began in fu
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI remembered how Elyan my wolf sprung up when my eyes caressed Madeline's bare body. It was a one time thing and she has already taken in. Lately I had been looking for ways to get rid of her suitably. I had unfinished business with her and my revenge is imminent. But as it stands now, I had to put revenge in the corner.I paced round the room, my mind swirled with conflicting emotions. She was now carrying my child and I needed the child and a mate to establish my full authority in the pack. She would be useful as a fake mate to ward off and quell the problem with the pack elders about the issue of choosing a mate and having kids.Announcing her and the baby in the next pack meeting would be the best and the meeting was less than three hours to go."Dan", I called."Yes, Alpha Konan", he replied from behind the door, summon Madeline here. "You mean the servant girl who was here today?" "Daaan, dragging his name. Is there any other Madeline in the whole of this mans
MADELINE'S POVI was escorted to my room by the servant lady assigned to me by Alpha Konan. I sobbed all along the way and I contemplated how my life would take its course from henceforth. I got to the room and I was met with other servants who were all ready to assist in the preparation. With teary eyes and gloomy face, I took a look at them, hoping I would be noticed. They all went about their normal business, all behaving similar to a robot, as if I wasn't there, as if I never existed.The new room was one thousand times better than the servant cubicle I resided in until now. It had all the necessary amenities to make life easy and comfortable. I was taken in for a hot bath which had fresh scented flowers to add its own unique fragrance. I had my legs shaved and my hair thoroughly washed. I was instructed to sit in front of the vanity mirror by the head servant lady in the room that she would be with me shortly. Seeing my reflection in the mirror, I could see noticeable changes on
MADELINE'S POVHis hands were still on my lower back as we went down the decorative hallway leading to his quarters. All the way I thought of how he punished the elder who questioned the paternity of the baby and the authenticity of me being his mate even when I was just an insignificant contracted mate carrying his child. We got to a secluded corner of the hallway leading to his quarters when I noticed his gentle demeanor shifting to a steely resolve, his eyes glowing with a fierce intensity.“Madeline, how did the elder catch a hint that you may be a fake mate", he said shaking me vehemently and squeezing my biceps tightly. I was filled with confusion as he demanded answers to question I know nothing of. I was caught off guard but I was determined to defend myself. Enough is enough and I wasn't going to keep quiet anymore. He had caused me enough emotional damage than I had ever experienced in my life since the past twelve hours.“Alpha Konan, I may be a low and filthy servant to yo
MADELINE'S POVThe sun had not even begun to rise when a loud knock was heard at the door. I jolted awake, disoriented and alarmed. The abrupt interruption of my sleep made me feel uneasy as I stood up to go check who was at the door. I was met with two warrior werewolves. Miss Madeline, Alpha Konan summons you to the execution hall. I swallowed the huge saliva with force, causing a scratchy feeling on my parched throat. I followed them obediently, but my mind ran several miles away from me in obvious fear. It wasn't dawn and majority of the household was still asleep. I didn't even have the time to change into something suitable, I was still in my nighties.I entered the execution hall and I found a familiar figure on the floor covered in blotches of blood. I was scared and I went closer to the body. When I found out it was Drey, my eyes widened in terror and horror."Alpha Konan, I cried out in a shrill voice. What did he do to deserve this torture and inhumane treatment". I knew fo
PETRA'S POVThe plan to kill Alpha Konan and Rosaline failed terribly. It was totally destroyed and the outcome was one I hadn't come to terms with. These two formidable people were a threat to my Godfather, the man who rescued me from my near death experience. I had devoted my life to him ever since that night — ten years ago. Naturally every good thing came at a price, and my life was the ultimate price.It was one of those many nights when the moon casted and shone its silvery gray color over Moonshine City Pack. Everything shimmered and in our little happy home, I could still remember the hearty laugh of my father and the pretty smile of my mother, together with the cackles of my baby sister. It was one of the many memories I cherished, but also the ones that had me traumatized. I still wondered how I survived and I watched how my family all died. The burning of my home, the tears and shrill noises made by family while we were been attacked began my emotional trauma, introducing m
MADELINE'S POV.I woke up with a sore back and the day was already far spent. Events of the previous night came flooding to my forebrain, aggravating the already present pain in my brain enclosed within the case of bones it occupied. I remembered been escorted to my room by Alpha Konan's guards and I was repeatedly reminded that I was done for and destined to wallow in sorrow. For the first time in my life, I thought of my family and I wished upon them the same pains and agony I was going through. Sleep eluded me and I thought of the torture Alpha Konan subjected Drey to. I hopes he survives the punishment meted out to him and I cried myself to sleep. I noticed alpha Konan's shirt still draped on my body and I instinctively inhaled the familiar scent of musk and cedar. For some reasons, it gave me a sense of security coupled with absolute fear. A subtle knock was heard at the door and I huddled myself together and gave permission to whomever who was at the door to come in. Nurse Maud
