ROSALINE'S POV This wasn't time to pretend selective amnesia. I remembered vividly the events that lead me to the pack hospital. The steady rhythm of the IV drop, the beeping of the heart monitor and the smell of anaesthetic and disinfectant added to my throbbing headache and churning stomach. I stood up from the bed and it was almost impossible to guide my steps. "Shit, this dizziness!!!" The door opened and my attending nurse came in. "You've regained consciousness miss Rosaline. How are you feeling," her face beaming with smiles. "How long have I been out," I interjected. "Uhm..." "If I am to be precise, you were out for a day and half," she replied. I rolled my eyes. "Hope you are feeling better," she asked once again which I found annoying. "You should know from my looks that I am far from being okay." "Alright. So I suggest you take more rest," the nurse replied. "I beg to differ. I might as well get worse or catch some nosocomial infection if I stay a t
GODFATHER'S POV "Nurse Maude, why would you carry out such expedition on Oceanwolf pack without anyone's consent?" She rolled her eyes. Really? I was seething with my barely contained rage. I don't take delight to being summoned by alpha Gritus without prior knowledge of Maude's actions. With her wrinkled middle aged face, she stood her ground, unwilling to answer me. "I believe I am talking to you Nurse Maude. Answer the god-damned question," I retorted almost losing my cool. "I don't have to answer to you. Do I ??" she replied rudely. "Bitch..." A clear of the throat interrupted me. There stood Braco, giving us both a questioning look. "Alpha Gritus is ready and waiting for you both in the grand hall." Beads of sweat broke on my forehead as we made way to the grand hall. There sat alpha Gritus in his usual seat, his look expressionless. "I remember telling you all to take a pause on everything to re-strategize. Now which one of you attacked Oceanwolf pack wi
ALPHA KONAN'S POV "You haven't fallen in love with Madeline, have you?" Rosaline asked with a questioning look on her face. My gaze snapped to Rosaline. "What is the reason you ask this question Rosaline?" "There's every reason for me to ask, Rosaline replied without missing a beat. Look at our pack borders. Alpha Novare indirectly threatens us each passing hour to withdraw their troops. We aren't too good with security right now. Letting emotions cloud your judgement could be disastrous." "For the umpteenth time Rosaline, Madeline is a servant who carelessly lost my baby. Nothing more." Rosaline arched her eyebrows. "You are strongly in denial alpha Konan. It is obvious to me that Madeline has ignited a fire in you and you are gradually growing fond of the fire. This isn't just about Crescent pack or her deeds. You definitely care for her." I let out a frustrated sigh. "Even if I do, it doesn't change what's she's done. She still broke the rules." "And yet, here we
MADELINE'S POVI was summoned to alpha Konan's study. This time I was unsure of what to expect. I walked down to his study with my heart pounding in my chest. I entered the grand study and stood right in front of alpha Konan, who sat on his chair—unflinched."Which do you want to hear first Madeline. The good news or the bad news," he asked.I was confused. He could start with anyone he deemed fit, why was I compelled to make a choice."Madeline," he called once again, this time softly with underlying impatience."Which do you wish to hear. The good news or the bad news," he asked yet again."The good news alpha Konan," I replied."The good news is that you are leaving for crescent pack with alpha Novare."My eyes shot up in surprise. This was the least thing I was expecting to hear, for alpha Konan had vowed not to let me go."Why the change of heart," I asked."Calm down princess. Over to the bad news. You are to return back to Oceanwolf pack after three years."An evident grin was
MADELINE'S POVThe private session with alpha Novare wasn't necessary. He used it as a way to feel alpha Konan's interest in me. Did it work? Yes it did.Alpha Novare escorted me out to the door of his room and there stood alpha Konan standing at the far end of the hall. Alpha Novare's face was plastered with a smug grin and he whispered to my ears."Your alpha is here. Keeping alpha Konan on his tippy toes has never felt so good."He closed the door behind me and I walked towards where the predator was standing, ready to devour."Follow me," he demanded.I followed him obediently to his study. He stood for a while backing me, his hands on his waist—akimbo. A little while later, he turned to me, his eyes, narrowed and bloodshot. The look in his eyes was one I hadn't seen in my entire life."Did he touch you," alpha Konan asked straight to the point.Goosebumps crawled on my skin."No he didn't," I replied softly."No he didn't," he questioned. His eyes blazed with fury that threatened
ROSALINE'S POV"Ohh shit!!!"I stumbled and fell on a hard rock body. I looked up to see who I just fell on, and it was Gabriel."I bet you saw me coming," I replied.He scoffed."And I bet you didn't realize that there was an obstacle on your path which made you stumble. I have been standing right here all the while. You were the one who hit me. An apology would suffice," he saidI huffed."Stalking me?" I asked."You wish, don't you?" he replied sarcastically."Then why do you always seem to be in my way," I questioned."The last I check, your name wasn't imprinted on any passage way here," he answered with a light grin on his face.I knew this question and answer would continue for eternity. Gabriel had such time but I had no such time for that because I needed to see alpha Konan urgently. I ignored him and tried to make my way when Gabriel fully stopped me in my tracks."Beta dear, I sneered. I would really appreciate if you would clear the way. I have somewhere urgent to go to."
ALPHA KONAN'S POV Sleep was far from me. Madeline betrayed me, I muttered continuously, unconsciously. I buried myself with work. Morning was here and it was time for alpha Novare and his people to take their leave. I had to see them off because it was only customary I did so. Madeline yet wasn't in sight.She appeared from the other end of the mansion. My eyes was fixed on her as she made her way to join alpha Novare and the others. Her eyes was fixed on everything except me. She clearly avoided my gaze.Alpha Novare noticed and whispered to me."Tone your stare a little bit Konan. You could burn her with those laser eyes of yours."I scoffed."Your whore will be back like she never left. Chill out Konan, you won!!!" he grinned.I gritted my teeth at the sound of the word whore coming from his mouth. I knew he was indirectly trying to provoke me.I never moved my eyes from Madeline. The early morning breeze blew her silky hair about and her smooth skin glistened under the rising su
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 th
