After all I had worked so hard to have her and now that I had found a perfect reason, somebody wanted to take her away from me?The fact made me feel both nervous and a bit annoyed. Though, I couldn’t say that to him.Thus, I tried to give him a smile and added, “She is a girl of her own free will. She will do as she wants.”Kyle nodded his head at that, shook my hand and took my leave.Now that he had left, I sagged down a little, leaning on the door for support.I had been very tired and had just wanted to sleep. But now that he had asked for Madeleine to visit his pack, I felt the need to go meet her.The memory of her standing in that gorgeous blue dress like a true beauty was seared into my brain and I had so badly wanted to get a taste of her.My brain was asking my feet to take me home, but they somehow redirected themselves to her room.Knocking on her door, I said rather huskily if she really wanted m

HaydenAfter the rather tiring day, everybody decided to take it slow today. Most of the crowd was snoring in their beds and probably Madeleine was too.She had earned her day off and for a change, I didn't want to stress her out after the day and the night in which I had troubled her.The memory brought a smile to my face and it made me feel happy. For now, I had simply decided to focus on finding this flower and getting Madeliene to turn as soon as possible.Her physical strength had shown me that she would withstand the change easily and it would be even better for our pack if she were to turn into a werewolf.Though I liked her and valued her as a human too I didn't want to lose her. Humans lived a far shorter life than werewolves and I wanted her to be by my side forever.Hence, I decided to slip in my office and close the door before Charlie or Ben came to trouble me with something.The meeting yesterday had made me feel hopeful

Ben nodded his head grimly and I glanced at Raine once, asking her to follow us.As I stepped outside, I saw the small group huddled together, looking at me like frightened chickens that would be slaughtered soon.I could understand their fear and worries.Ben and the other werewolves had dug a small pit where we would bury Greta, whose body was covered in a white cloth.Clearing my throat, I addressed the small group,“Today is the day we mourn the loss of one of our kind. Greta had shown great signs of becoming a future Luna and a strong warrior. Unfortunately, she is not with us anymore. Grieve all you want. But, I must remind you that this is the life of a werewolf. If you don’t fight and attack, you die. If you are weak, you leave yourself at the mercy of fate, which is not always kind.For safety purposes, I would communicate with all your alphas and they would arrange for safe transportation of you all to your

HaydenCharlie then whispered in Ben’s ears, “Yes, I know you love me a lot but sorry I love girls.”Hearing him made me laugh out loud while Ben smacked him on the shoulder.“What the hell, Charlie?”Ben asked him and even Charlie began to laugh out loud.Soon, Ben joined too, and then even I went and enveloped them both in a bear hug.“Just to be clear, I love girls too…”I added and we three began to laugh hysterically. It felt nice to laugh so much. All these days, we had been fighting one thing or the other and we had just witnessed a death.Though it might feel odd to laugh when you are supposed to be grieving someone’s death, I felt oddly at peace. Having both the beta and gamma with me, who were more like my brothers, made it feel awesome and wonderful.After we were done laughing, Charlie asked us a question that made us turn back serious again.

HaydenMadeleine got up from her bed quickly and she asked me, “What happened?”I only stared at her wide-eyed for a minute before turning around and dashing outside.She was still in her pajamas but she still ran outside after me as I rushed towards the territory.My heart was beating so fast that it was becoming harder and harder for me to breathe and dread was beginning to fill my heart.Suddenly the cryptic message that had been written on that boulder made sense to me.“No, that can’t be, please Goddess don’t let it be…”I ran towards the border of my territory and Madeleine kept shouting behind me, trying to catch up with me.But, it was as if my mind had gone numb. I couldn’t process things and though I was rushing towards the exact same boulder where we had found Greta’s body, I dreaded what I would find there.Raine?No, my mind would not even think o
