Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“No, Adolphus, you need a good shower and a change of clothes before we go to see Maddie. Calm yourself down before we go to meet her. You know her very well. She doesn’t like anyone pitying her.” I instructed him sternly.He growled in displeasure but I didn’t mind him. He was not only the future alpha but also my best friend.And this was a friend’s instruction, not any disrespect.“Fine.” He grumbled after some time and I grinned.We were already on the stairs when someone called me from behind.“You go; I will meet him first.” I said to Adolphus when I saw Nolan approaching us.I walked back downstairs and met Nolan at the foot of the stairs. He was also our future gamma, as his elder brother had decided to pursue medicine instead of taking over the position from his father.“What is it, Nolan?” I asked him with a concern.“You need to see this.” I replied while giving his tablet to me.I knitted my brows while looking at them with concern and took the
Nathan’s P.O.V.“They ruined the welcome party for all the packs, but thanks to Madeline’s earlier predictions, it saved so many lives.” Alpha Lucifer told us calmly, but it didn’t change the fact that my sister was now lying unconscious in the hospital.“But how did they get the news of our return?” Adolphus raised the question with a serious expression on his face.For some reason that I couldn’t pinpoint, he was more pissed than he should have been, especially with what happened to Maddie.“It only indicates that we have traitors inside our pack, and this is the serious issue.” I concluded grimly.“Or someone from the Alpha Academy leaked the information about how many future alphas were going back to their packs?” Dad speculated while looking at me and Adolphus, his brows raised lightly.“We are only doing speculations right now instead of finding the reason why not one or two but twelve teams of rogues with explosives were lurking around us all the time and we didn’t notice until
Adolphus’s P.O.V. (Continued)“She is hurt. Take her away.” I instructed Nathan in a cold voice, trying hard to suppress my anger towards Madeline.This was our first interaction as mate, and I almost lost her before I could utter the word Mate to her.I frowned in confusion when she suddenly stiffened in my embrace and jumped out as if she wanted to go away from me.I hurt like hell. What exactly happened?She winced as her foot touched the ground, making me tighten my grip on her waist as I was still holding her.“Bro.” she cried, slowly raising his healthy hand towards him.She was bleeding furiously and needed medical aid immediately.Nathan immediately pulled her into his embrace.Only I know how hard it was for me to suppress my possessiveness towards Madeline.She is my mate for goddess’ sake.“He shouldn’t embrace her like this.” Onyx also grumbled but at the same time, a loud explosion distracted me.“Take her back, Nathan. We have covered this. Albert said to Nathan in a str
Adolphus’s P.O.V.“What’s this explosion, Dad?” I asked my father in astonishment as soon as we heard the faint sound of an explosion, and after a few seconds, more explosions. I held my mother tightly in my embrace, my body stiffening in alarm while I looked around.The music stopped immediately and the warriors covered the party premises immediately, ready to fight at any time.He didn’t answer as he was mind-linking someone. “What the f**k, Dad?” Nathan yelled and before I could ask him anything, he ran off.“Go, Adolphus. We are under attack.” Mom said to me with an assuring smile and immediately moved away, her body full-on Luna mode.“Nathan, wait.” I yelled while running behind him when Dad also started running.“The rogues. They attacked the station where Maddie is.” Nathan yelled, still running at the fastest speed.Onyx howled aloud angrily at the back of my mind, but I didn’t pay attention to him and started running behind him.Soon, Dad and Nathan’s father also joined us.
Madeline’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You got to be kidding me.” I cursed myself and tried not to let his scent affect me, but this was impossible.The most shocking fact was that his scent was denser than that prick of my first mate.I shook my head to get rid off the urge to find him as I had more important matters to take care of.The explosion on the other side gave me some clarity to my mind, and I ran towards the other warriors, covering them by firing towards the rogues continuously.I heard a loud roar, making me stumble on my feet as it ran a shiver through my spine, the intensity of the roar went straight to my lower abdomen, churning something badly there.What baffled me more was that I knew this roar.My heart leaped out of my mouth in horror. I felt tears in my eyes but I had no time to self-pity.“Cover me, Maddie. We are right behind them.” Frederick yelled through mind-link, distracting me with the inner turmoil.I moved towards the part from where Frederick entered the fore
Madeline’s P.O.V. (Continued)I groaned in frustration when Alpha Lucifer mind-linked.“What’s that explosion, Maddie? What’s going on there?” He asked me worriedly.“Nothing to worry about, Alpha. Rogues were about to have a night party, but I ruined it by blowing their stuff.” I replied nonchalantly while trying to spot more rogues away from the fire.“Are you okay? Don’t do anything reckless, Maddie. We will be there in a few minutes.” He instructed me through mind-link.“You don’t need to come, Alpha. The situation is under control. That small part of the forest has caught on fire, but Frederick and a few warriors are going there to control the fire. We have also informed the other stations and other packs about the rogues’ intrusion tonight. They are once again planning to take advantage of supply trucks.” I briefed him about the situation.Narrowing my eyes at the same time when I spot two more rogues peeking out of a tree from a good distance from us.“Two more rogues in the no
