AshesPov: MaddisonI was fuming by the time I walked into the building, barely able to contain the rage bubbling in the pit of my stomach.The email I'd received yesterday from none other than Mr Winston His Royal Dick Highness himself was etched in my head:I have noticed that majority of the employeesWorking in this Manhattan branch have a thingAgainst one of the most diligent workers in the officeThis is a stern reminder that bullying and gossip mongeringWill not be tolerated. Already, I have compiled names of everyoneInvolved in this heinous act and they are not to show their face at the officeAgain. Do well to not be caught victim of this.Attached to the damning email was a file containing all hundred and sixty two of my colleagues that were required to vacate office immediately.I remember my heart constricting in my chest and forgetting its pumping action. I remember my lungs suddenly not knowing how to receive oxygen anymore. I stared at the texts and reread and reread

AttackPOV: WinstonI drove like a mad man all the way to the conservation in long island I had long since bought and paid for, for the peaceful coexistence of my pack.The Blood Moon pack was sheltered from the outside world and had been protected for decades, ever since I became alpha of the pack.For over fifty years, they conservation had been protected against external attacks. There was an effective guard system and I had witnessed decades and decades of peace and tranquility, leading and protecting the pack with everything I had. I had done better than previous Alpha's before me.But this. This destroyed everythingI fought tooth and nail, with claws and teeth to give the pack the safety they had today. I led them away from other warring packs, fighting for territory and dominance and gave them a place of their own. And soon, we grew and bloomed into the most feared pack of the west coast. During my reign, we had an era of peace the others had never witnessed. In fact, it was

HonestPOV: WinstonI'll be honest and come right out and say this: I expected it. I expected getting clocked in the face. I expected foul play from Theo and smelled his bullshit from a mile away.But I didn't dodge it. I closed my eyes and braced myself and he swiped the stinging metal across my face, smacking into the side of my face and almost knocking me to the ground.I stood my ground and worked my jaw, staring down at the scum, very displeased and very annoyed.He knew he had fucked up but he grinned, balling his fists and bouncing on his legs, preparing for another attack.He went for a kick but I knew better.I dodged his leg in the air and he tried to punch me. I held his arm, and turned him around, twisting his arm around him until he was grunting in pain.Sweat dribbled down his neck, his breathing was urged. "Winston, man–""Why did you do it?! What was your motif for breaking into my territory?!"His reply was a weak, pathetic whimper. He bit back a gasp as I twisted hi

SolicitPOV: Maddison."Thanks for meeting with me," Gwyn told me as we pulled out our seats in the overpriced coffee shop.I sank into my seat, my hands trembling. "He's cheating on me."Gwyn froze. "Who?""My... My husband."She swallowed. Cleared her throat and adjusted in her seat. "How do you know for sure?""I saw their texts."She rubbed her chin, thinking pensively. "How long?" I whispered the question that have been gnawing on my mind. "How long has he been seeing this woman?"Silence."Is she even the only one?!"More Silence."How many others ARE there?"Gwyn only stared at me, sadness and concern swirling in those baby blue orbs of hers."Why would he DO this to me?! What did I do wrong? What am I doing wrong?!""It's not your fault, Maddie," she looked at me with eyes of azul.Oh God, I broke down, tears streaming down my face. My hands were trembling as I tried to take control of myself and cover my face."Oh honey," Gwyn came over to hold me in her arms, hugging me tig

SickPOV: MaddisonI hailed a taxi back home when I grew sick of moping by myself at the coffee shop downtown.I felt like collapsing in my bed the moment I walked through the threshold of the door.My husband came to welcome me at the door immediately."Maddie," he exhaled, as if relieved. "I was beginning to get worried.""I'm fine," I grunted, not ready to even have a conversation with him.I tried stepping around him to get into the living room and binge on Kdrama but William obstructed my path.I tried to step around him again but he blocked my path again.I placed my hands on my hips. "William, what is the meaning of this?" I asked.Just when he opened his mouth to answer, a voice... A feminine voice came from MY living room. "Wiiiiiiiilll? Baby, who's that at the door?"His eyes widened. He literally went "Oh shit!" As I shoved past him, sick of this bullshit.Surprise surprise! He wasn't alone.There was a girl with strawberry blonde hair in a very risque dress with cutouts ar
