Hayden   Madeleine kept looking at the floor and said, “N-no-nothing…I was just babbling. You…umm..You can punish me and I will accept it.” Her voice was too shaky and I knew that I was scaring her off. But, the anger that had built up in me needed a release. The way her hips had swayed in the training ground was printed in my mind. And, the bulge in my pants increased further. “Well, for one, I don’t like people who babble. So, here is your punishment.” Saying so, I held her mouth in my hands and placed my lips on hers. No sooner had I done that a thousand fireworks exploded in my head. Every single nerve tingled in my body and I couldn’t think of anything else. Her sweet lips opened under mine as I took my hands away from her mouth and found her hands hanging limply to the sides. I let my hands travel leisurely down her shoulders all the way to her fingers and intertwined it with my fingers. She let out a

MadeleineIt was quite odd for me to look at Hayden after what we had done in his office. I was still trying to recover from the shock and my heart was still beating wildly but he was completely focused on the task.So much so that he didn’t even look at me while sweeping a glance through all of us standing in front of him.I felt a little bad but I was also curious about what he had to say about the award. But, more than that I just wanted him to look at me.As such, I simply blurted out his name which made everyone look at me, not just him.Uh oh.With all the eyes staring at me, I did not know what to do next.The only guy who had managed to ask a doubt had been tactfully silenced by Hayden so nobody else had dared ask him anything again.Even Steve who was otherwise arrogant and unnecessarily cocky seemed to want to do nothing with him.From the looks of it, he was probably leaving this place where he couldn&rs

MadeleineI stepped inside the circle as did Steve from the other side of the field. Everybody fell silent as they began observing our fight intently.Steve was still smiling at me cockily and it made me go mad. I turned my head towards Hayden subtly and he only nodded a little, urging me to not be afraid of him.Now that Steve stood in front of me, everything he had done to me came rushing to me as the memories of him torturing and bullying me flashed in front of my eyes.I was shivering a little and gulped nervously as I could distinctly recall him hitting me, manhandling me, and hurting me both physically and mentally.There had been nothing I could do at that time save looking at him with pitiful eyes and screaming my lungs out to let me go.Hayden was alert and I could see that he had his fists clenched to the sides. I knew that he wanted me to brave my fears and stand up to my bully yet I felt a little nervous to fight Steve all on my

Hayden But, somehow whatever or whoever it was got wind of me and decided to hide.I turned around and tried to catch a glimpse but all I saw was something grey pass by the plants and disappear from my view.“Rogues”I immediately knew what it must be. The rogues that we had fought earlier seemed to have made a comeback after lying low all this while.Instead of running after the rogue, I decided to set up a trap and hoped that it would work.Thus, I sat on the big boulder that was beside the river and pretended to be lost in thought.I wanted the rogue to think that it would be easy for him to attack me as I was lost in thought.When he would near me that is when I was going to trap him.Thus, I settled on the rock after dusting it and pretended to be lost in my thoughts.It was then that I saw something gravy out of the corner of my eye again. But the rogue seemed to be highly sensitive

MadeleineHe seemed to listen to me half-heartedly and answered,“You have done nothing yet but I only wanted the alpha to be impartial and punish the guilty. Looks like he punished you enough by making you fight for hours, so yes, I am satisfied with his punishment.”Hearing him made my eyes go wide. Is that how he had interpreted the entire situation?All I knew was that the entire crowd, not just Hayden had started to root for me and maybe hope that I didn’t die due to Steve’s attacks or my own exhaustion.“I…don’t know what to say to that.”I simply replied the first thought that popped up in my head. It was the truth and he turned his attention to look at me.“Nothing against you, but I wouldn’t want the alpha to go lax on someone who was caught openly stealing something and selling valuable information to outsiders. After all, it’s against the rules.”
