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
PETRA'S POV.I had just recovered from the punishment I received from Godfather some days back and it was time to begin the execution of the new plan. The only way to salvage the situation was to become close and undetachable from Madeline. I had put my plan in place. First, I was to go close to her and be her personal maid servant. Madeline is very lonely and I was one hundred percent sure that she would most appreciate and oblige to my suggestion and company because no one wanted to associate with her. Two, understand her daily activities and find the perfect time to strike. To be candid, I felt pity for Madeline. She was the only servant who was nice to me. I just wished she wasn't caught in this crossfire.I headed towards the lady's quarters with varieties of fruit that I knew she loved eating. Her room door was slightly opened and I knocked on the door and found my way into her room. "Hey Madeline, thought you might enjoy some of your favorite fruits today," I said showing her
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI was momentarily entranced when I saw Madeline draped in the outfit— the black gown that accentuated her curves and enhanced the bump on her stomach. A sense of pride and awe swept over me and Elyan responded with a quiet , appreciative growl. But why was I feeling this way about her?. During the meeting, I noticed her shifting on her chair, holding a scrunched face and instinctively rubbing her back and her stomach. It was time for the vote of thanks and I noticed she wasn't anywhere inside the room. Where had she gone to at a time like this?. I could go through the remaining events of the night without her, but I craved deeply for her presence. Dan walked into the room and whispered something into my ear."WHAT!!!. You've got to be joking Dan. What do you mean she has been kidnapped? When did this happen?""Alpha Konan, there was a letter on your table addressed to you. It said it is from Damien.I face palmed. Why would uncle Damien do this?"What did the letter
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI paced round my study as I waited for Rosaline's arrival. The sound of my shoe soles on the tiled floor were the only defined noise I could hear. Anger and worry simmered within me making my insides hot and I was forced to ask myself for the umpteenth time why I was feeling this way towards her. This feeling was new, it was very pristine."It is because she's carrying your child. So it is a tangible reason for you to behave and feel this way." My subconscious answered.Exactly!!!, and I couldn't agree less.Rosaline came into my study panting heavily from running."What did you say happen to Madeline," she asked worried lines evident on her forehead. "The servant girl was kidnapped by Damien, my uncle.""Is Damien around," she asked."I have no candid idea," I replied. "He only made his presence known by kidnapping the servant girl and dropping a letter.""What did the content of the letter say," Rosaline asked."I don't care. I only need to save Madeline and my ch
Madeline's POVThe darkness crept in, swallowing the room whole. I saw the room closing in on me and felt suffocated. The shadow of a man danced on the wall with a glistening metal knife in hand, trudging towards me."Please, please..... Don't hurt me. I did nothing wrong to you, I am not the one you seek," I begged. As he came closer, I saw the dangerous face and wicked smile of the man who held the metal knife. He lifted the glistening metal above his head aiming straight for my growing stomach.Sweats filled my face as I struggled to wake up, but the nightmare held me captive in its glued grasp. In reality, I squeezed my pillows and wriggled from side to side till I let out a blood curdling scream and jolted awake.When I woke up, Petra was beside me together with nurse Maude. Beads of sweat lined my forehead and cheeks and I felt sore in every part of my body. My throat was parched and my stomach churned badly."How are you feeling," Petra asked.I kept mum because I couldn't tell
PETRA'S POVMadeline's kidnap had me exhausted. I couldn't get any ounce of sleep the previous night. Come to think of it, this was the first time Madeline was hiding an ordeal from me, a very serious one.I was able to eavesdrop and heard how alpha Konan talked down at Madeline. I couldn't get the whole gist of what happened during the kidnap, but I pitied her—i really do pity her.I understood her predicament and I knew she was going through a lot and I don't want to hurt her.I went back to the servant's quarters to freshen up and grab something to eat before I went back to work. To my surprise, I found my room door ajar and I found Kong standing close to the window with a dangerous smirk on his face when he saw me.I was shocked and taken aback. "Kong, what are you doing here," I asked with a hushed voice."Godfather requests your presence.""Now," I asked."Yes," he really does want to see you."This is daytime and I can't leave my work to come see him. "Do you have any idea as t
