My face must have drained of all color because she immediately came near me and added,
“What is the issue, dear? Why are you panicking? Nobody is going to literally pounce on you, I was kidding you know.”
Raine said while trying to reassure me but it was as if my feet along with the rest of my body had gone cold.
The thought of being amidst all the alphas and their packs from north and south was already getting to me.
And, to think that I was supposed to give a speech and in front of them scared me to death.
She left me on my own and went inside to quickly change into a formal dress. While she had taken hours to get me ready, she stepped out of her room in 20 minutes flat.
And still, she looked very gorgeous.
“I didn’t know you had a magic wand.”
I added with a smile and she beamed at me. She wore a simple black A-line dress and merely put on lipstick and some mascara.
But, the dress l
HaydenI guess she didn’t want to leave me alone to greet the guests but I think almost everyone was done so I would be free in minutes anyways.Thus, I decided to let her go and she walked away with Garron. Once, everyone was done I walked inside too.The stage was lit in soft lights and the combination of white drapes against blue flowers really made the whole set-up stand out.Now that I looked at the preparations, even I felt that marigold wouldn’t have been the right choice,“Thanks, sis”I muttered to myself and went to the stage.The alphas had been asked to sit in the front rows while the next line was betas, then gammas then omegas, and then the rest of the pack members.Thus, everybody sat in a line to form their pack.Walking up to the stage, I began,“Thank you alphas of the north and south as well as all the pack members for showing up today. Some of you hav
HaydenAll I wanted to do was get down from the stage, grab her and devour her completely.When her eyes met mine, she gave a smile and my heart skipped a beat. But, then as I saw her in a daze, I realized that even Kyle had fallen silent.Not just me but the entire crowd was watching her walk up to the stage.And, their faces were painted with identical expressions of surprise. Even those newcomers who had been training with her all week, couldn’t believe that it was the same Madeline who used to run around in her jeans and t-shirt.Blinking my eyes, I tried to get myself in control of the situation and ignore my little devil growing hard in my pants.Raine helped her from tripping over the loose folds of the gown around her legs and I extended a hand to help her climb up.The moment her fingers brushed mine, I felt a bolt of electricity zap through me.Tingles were all over my body and I tried desperately to not l
HaydenI had been expecting this question and was glad that somebody had asked it.After squeezing her shoulder reassuringly to tell her that I wasn’t going to leave her, I turned to the audience once again.“The Ascension ceremony allows me just that. If the potential candidate applied to be accepted in one of the many packs and the alpha deems him fit, this can be done.This ceremony gave the recruits the power to choose between two alphas or more. As such, the alpha of their current pack won’t have any control over their decision.”I explained to everybody who listened to me in rapt attention. It was as if they all were hearing this for the first time and probably they were.While being locked in my office for a long time, I had tried to sift through drawers and look for past records of anything that could help me in finding a way of freeing Madeleine.The pack system was designed around the alpha and alpha
MadeleineAll the discussions involving me made me feel extremely nervous. Hayden’s suggestion was sweet and had relieved me of my worries, but Kyle’s suggestion made me feel nervous all over again.I didn’t know Kyle and though he appeared to be a nice person, I didn’t want to spend a week with him. I wanted to be with Hayden and his pack only.Raine and Ben were good to me and Charlie was a little angry due to whatever reason, but I knew I would win him over.Meanwhile, Hayden stepped down from the stage and extended his hand to me which I gladly accepted.Holding my hand, he helped me step down and I walked behind him.No sooner had I stepped down, everybody gathered around me. The crowd of newcomers and young recruits formed a large group around me, trying to talk to me.Some even were gushing about how pretty I looked and how they aspired to be in my place. The words and the excitement made me feel very ha
MadeleineHearing him, I almost toppled the glass of water that was placed beside my plate. But, somehow I stopped it from falling over.Meanwhile, Hayden suppressed a chuckle and winked at me before taking a seat.All of this happened so fast that I couldn’t even think of a reply or a comeback. Hayden on the other hand was completely calm and composed and even pointed at my plate, indicating to me to start eating.I only blinked my eyes.Blink. Blink. Blink.This alpha was either going to kill me by nervousness or by making my heart race with his playful taunts.I took a deep breath and took a bite from the food. As soon as I was seated, everybody began to eat quietly.It took me some time to get adjusted to the feeling that I was dining with all the alphas but after some time, I simply looked down and stared at my food.Thankfully, the alphas were fast eaters and by the time they had their second and third helpin
MadeleineIt was late at night when I heard a knock on my door. Or maybe early morning, I wasn’t sure.My eyes were still drowsy and I didn’t want to even move. Thus, I ignored the knock but it came again.Annoyed a little, I blabbered in my sleep, “Go away, and let me sleep”Saying so, I turned to my side and it was then that I heard a reply, “You want me to go away?”That voice made me open my eyes wide despite sleep fighting to keep them shut.I almost sprang up from my bed to hear his voice and croaked, “Hayden? Is that you?”Before he could even reply, I had jumped up from my bed and ran towards the door. My dress almost made me trip over but it did not matter to me.I opened the door and saw Hayden wearing the same jeans and shirt along with the coat.Our eyes met and before I could say anything, he walked in and closed the door behind him with his leg.Pushing
MadeleineHe said before returning his lips back to my chest. I could hardly breathe and the way he was kissing me made my knees turn to jelly.My legs began to tremble and that is when he plucked me up from the floor and in one swift move, plonked me on the side table.He placed me at his eye level and the way he had unexpectedly picked me up before depositing me on the table made my dress shift dangerously. Now, even the second strap had fallen to the side and a lot more cleavage was visible.A distinct hunger rose in his eyes as he let out a growl. An alpha growl.And my insides dissolved in a puddle. All I could do was accept whatever he was doing to me and not die from excitement or happiness.“Answer me, Maddy”He said in a rather authoritative tone and I replied, “I…I am enjoying it…”I answered and then bit my lower lip. It felt so embarrassing to say that to him but h
HaydenAfter I got up from the chair and told Madeleine about my master plan of making everybody drowsy and talk about important matters, she had appeared a little off.Whether it was because of her nervousness or something else, I wasn’t sure. But, what I knew was that she looked extremely gorgeous and sexy.The dress looked very good on her and the way Raine had done her make-up and hair made her look like a Luna.Wait?What was I thinking?Did I really want a Luna?The thought baffled me and I got up from the chair to head towards the office.All the alphas had already been asked to sit alongside a rather big table and I entered the office only a few minutes later.They were all pretty relaxed so I thought that the meeting would go as I had expected.Turns out, I was a little too optimistic.No sooner had I entered, every single alpha turned their eyes to me and were demanding an explanation
