MADELINE'S POVThis was the night I had chosen, the nights of all nights, the night I had chosen to regain my freedom by hook or by crook. I had finally decided to abscond from Oceanwolf Pack. My heart raved with pure excitement and vivid fear.I had devised a plan to slip away unnoticed, a plan no one knew of. I was convinced that I had done my homework and accounted for any obstacle that would come my way.When the household were all asleep and inactive, I gathered the little luggage I had and headed towards the crooked gravel path leading to the western borders. The western borders were more at peace compared to the other borders, and was not heavily armed with warrior wolves. Although the border led to the dense forests which was home to brutal rogue wolves, I was ready to take the risk for my happiness.As I approached the western borders, my hopes were dashed by the sudden appearance of a group of wolves whom I recognized as warrior wolves. They detected me with their keen senses
MADELINE'S POVIt's been days since I started working in the alpha's mansion. I had little or nothing to do compared to when I was stationed at the servants' quarters. Even now that I was close to alpha Konan, he was rarely seen around. But I could tell he had people watching my every move.Sometimes I sit and wonder why alpha konan could take a liking to me, or was he joking? Liking for what exactly? That was his own cup of coffee anyways. I hadn't given up on my plan to leave the pack. I was only an obedient servant so I could plan my next strategy and leave the pack for good.This fateful morning, I went about my normal business as I cleaned off the dust on the staircase railings. I overheard some of the servants discussing alpha Novare's arrival coming in two days time. They also enlightened me on the state of alpha Konan's and Alpha Novare's relationship. They were always at loggerheads with each other.Alpha Novare's arrival day could be the perfect time to abscond from the pack
ROSALINE'S POVShock rippled through me as I found Gabriel, my mate beside alpha Novare. I was aware he was a beta, but never in my imagination did it occur to me that he was second in command to alpha Novare of crescent pack.All through the welcome dinner, he stole glances at me to the point he made it obvious, making the few observant ones around the table to take note. For everytime he did that, I made sure I averted his gaze. It made me inexplicably unsettled. I was used to being the one in control, the one whose single glance could intimidate anyone, male or female alike. His gaze held a warmth that I couldn't quite comprehend, a depth that made me feel exposed and vulnerable.Instead of thinking of Gabriel, I busied myself with the task at hand. I was at the pack's training grounds, trying to settle the scuffle between different ranks and Gabriel strutted in."Talk of the devil," I scoffed and huffed.I signalled the warrior wolves present to leave and give us ample privacy, wh
MADELINE'S POVRosaline pulled me out of the meeting room forcefully. She didn't let me go until we came to a secluded part of the hallway."What was the meaning of what you did back there Madeline? Do you know the gravity of what you have done? You could have just kept your mouth shut and maintain your place as the servant girl that you are."The word servant girl drove me to the brink of insanity."What would you gave expected me to do? Stand and watch how I was been ridiculed and embarrassed and none of you lots from Oceanwolf pack could say a thing. You all are a whole bunch of hypocrites trying to save your asses whilst turning me to a sacrificial lamb," I retorted. My voice could be held several miles away."Listen Rosaline, this wouldn't have happened if alpha Konan had just left me to abscond without holding me back."Rosaline face showed signs of surprise."Wait Madeline, I don't get you. You mean you tried to abscond from the pack?"I withdrew for a while, then it dawned on
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
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI woke up to the sun sending piercing rays through my room window. I squinted my eyes to avoid the rays from getting further entrance into my eyes. I sat upright on my bed and ran my hands on my disheveled hair and I noticed I was sharing my bed with someone. Not that it was something new or anything. It happened almost everyday of the week. It was like a normal routine for me. The lady on my bed was stark naked with only the duvet to cover her shame. I could see the crimson red under where she slept then I knew for a fact that she was a virgin I just broke.I took a close look at her and found out it was Madeline, my most dreaded and mortal servant. How come she ended up in my room and sharing a bed with me. Come to think of it, this was the first time I had taken alcohol and it clouded my sense of judgement. Something wasn't just right. The alcohol contained something else I wasn't aware of."What have I just done?" I scrunched my face and face palmed. Of all the
ALPHA KONAN'S POVWerewolves are always excited when they hear of mates, their fated ones. And if by age eighteen their fated ones have not been found, they are thrown into anxiety and sometimes leading to incurable depression. I had never for once taken mates seriously. I called it one of the age long nuisance of werewolves. It has been a tradition followed by all the werewolf race, but I single handedly chose and resolved not to follow that traditional path.It has not been up to twenty four hours since I was conferred the alpha title and the council of elders are all fervently encouraging me to commence the journey of parenthood and bear children who will continue the legacy. Today is my mate choosing ceremony and selected girls were ready for me to choose from. It was not my kind of thing but I just had to be present. This was the first ceremony organized for me since I became the alpha.Everyone was gathered in the great hall when I arrived and my selection ceremony began in fu
ALPHA KONAN'S POVI remembered how Elyan my wolf sprung up when my eyes caressed Madeline's bare body. It was a one time thing and she has already taken in. Lately I had been looking for ways to get rid of her suitably. I had unfinished business with her and my revenge is imminent. But as it stands now, I had to put revenge in the corner.I paced round the room, my mind swirled with conflicting emotions. She was now carrying my child and I needed the child and a mate to establish my full authority in the pack. She would be useful as a fake mate to ward off and quell the problem with the pack elders about the issue of choosing a mate and having kids.Announcing her and the baby in the next pack meeting would be the best and the meeting was less than three hours to go."Dan", I called."Yes, Alpha Konan", he replied from behind the door, summon Madeline here. "You mean the servant girl who was here today?" "Daaan, dragging his name. Is there any other Madeline in the whole of this mans
