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
PETRA'S POVMadeline almost caught me last night, but thanks goodness she didn't confront me about my strange behavior. Phew, I almost gave myself away.Throughout the night, I couldn't seem to drift off. I tossed and turned and I couldn't shake off the feeling of what I was about to do.I definitely had to prepare and begin my duties for the day. I did the necessary things and I went straight to Madeline's quarters. I was greeted with a startling scenario. I found nurse Maude crying in Madeline's arms."What exactly is going on," I asked myself. The only way to find out was to go in and ask."Is everything alright nurse Maude," I asked, my voice dripping with every inch of curiosity.When nurse Maude heard my voice she wiped her tears and tried to compose herself. She tried wearing a calm face despite the tumult of obvious sorrow she was feeling. "I am so sorry for bothering you Madeline. I.... I just received some terrible news," she snorted.I just lost my son."I gasped."He was
ALPHA KONAN'S POVAs the day dawned on the day of the duel, I prepared myself for the fierce battle ahead. I knew it was going to be a tough fight. My pride, my unborn child and Madeline were all on the line. But I was determined to secure and protect them—no matter the cost, emerge victorious and put uncle Damien in his place.My muscles were all tensed and a work out would really do. I went to my makeshift gym in the study and worked out. During my workout, Madeline face kept flashing in front of me and Elyan was highly elated. "Was I already falling for her?"The time for the duel was drawing near. From my study room, hands placed in my pocket , I saw all the pack members rigorously trying and scurrying around to find seats to witness the greatest battle of all time—a fight based solely on physical strength, a battle of fists."Alpha Konan, are you sure you can trust Damien about this," Rosaline asked. Why would Damien suggest a duel based on physical strength with no use of wolf a
MADELINE'S POVWhat is happening!!!Everything is happening in a whim. It all looked like something out of a movie scene. My initial reaction was one of shock and total disbelief. Thank goodness for Rosaline. She was quick to drag me out the pack square chaos and instructed some warrior wolves to escort me back to the mansion.I instinctively placed my hands on my growing bump as I was been escorted back to the mansion. The sound of snarls, breaking of bones and primal roar in the distance sent shudders through my spine.I was halfway to my room when an already shifted rogue wolf jumped right in front of us. From the appearance of the wolf, its eye gleamed with brutality and destruction. The warrior wolves around me sensing danger charged forward to subdue the wolf, but they were all wrong. The rogue wolf was stronger than the warrior wolves put together. In a twinkling, he knocked all of them down. It's long, pointed canine digging into their flesh.I was shrouded in horror and terror
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI sat alone in my study and the events of the last few days replayed in my mind like relentless storm. Most importantly, I couldn't shake off the image of Madeline, trembling and disoriented. My mind currently was a whirlwind of emotions—rage, anger, confusion, you name it.The weight of the surprise attack pressed on me. Everyone demanded answers especially the pack members whose lives were endangered because they all came out to show their undying love and support for me.The attack seemed too well coordinated to be a mere coincidence. There's a mole in the pack. Someone who knows the in and out of the pack ratted us out—it is someone very near, very close. Damien was my die hard suspect. He could do anything in whatever way to get whatever he wants. Damien suggested the duel and the people who came with him to support him could have done that in conjunction with him. The duel might have been a distraction for them to carry out their ploy.But in the same vein, he
GODFATHER'S POVIt's been ages alpha Gritus had summoned me. Answering to his summons, uneasiness got the better part of me. Alpha Gritus has been the bane in my life, the bane for my greediness. If greediness could make me survive in this harsh, cold world. I was ready to be a servant to alpha Gritus.The mere mention of alpha Gritus sends shivers down the spine of anyone who knows him. He was highly revered in the dark world for his gruesome experiment with wolves, people of his own kind. He is well known for his depravity and the cruelty he was capable of. He is someone you could tag as crazy and insane—his heart black as the night sky.Alpha Gritus had deep seated hatred for Oceanwolf pack. He had waged a long and bitter war against them in the shadows and he had sworn to entirely destroy them and annihilate them from the surface of the earth.Since he had given me another chance to live, I decided to pledge my allegiance to him. Because of my faithfulness and loyalty, he entrusted
MADELINE'S POVThe pack doctor flashed the torch into my eyes. I felt uncomfortable and I blinked a thousand times. He let go of them and he swiveled his chair back to its original position.With all your examinations done in the past few days, you are now better. Miss Madeline, you didn't particularly suffer from face blindness. You suffered from post traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD. It is due to the extreme stress you subjected yourself to. Your brain deciding not to remember people's face for the time being was because of the bad experience you witnessed and according to what you told me, you have been kidnapped and you witnessed the last pack attack in your condition. So it was very likely to happen.But not to worry ma'am, I can see you have been punctual with your drugs and I am happy you can recognize the details on people's face clearly now. "Thank you so much doctor," I said."Doctor please can you keep my coming here a secret?""You mean from alpha Konan?""Yes
MADELINE'S POVI sat on my bed, cradling my swollen belly. Something was wrong. Ever since I consumed the herbal tonic, everything went wrong and awry. I hadn't felt my baby's pulse in hours. This was very strange. I wasn't sure what, but I could feel it deep down that something was wrong.Confusion clouded my mind, my thoughts were muddled. Fear gripped my heart and I couldn't bring myself still. Maybe it was just my imagination, maybe it was tiredness seeping in.I tried to push the negative thoughts away. My mind swirled with terrifying possibilities. I needed to convince myself that everything was fine. I decided to indulge myself. Reading a book could gnaw away my anxiety.Around midnight, I was woken up by a sharp pain on my abdomen. It felt like a knife had been thrusted in to the side of my stomach, my baby twisting and turning. I let out a gasp of pain, doubling over as the sensation overwhelmed.I tried getting myself off the bed, but it was very difficult. The pain was inte
