Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That royal warrior who was lurking at the alpha’s floor. Why was he there? If he wanted to hurt Prince Sylvester, his suite is on the other side of the corridor, not in that corridor, and that corridor has a different set of staircases. So, what was he doing outside Alpha Adolphus’ floor? Or he was at the wrong floor?” he questioned, and my eyes widened in horror.Adolphus and Maddie also stiffened immediately.Maddie was pale, but it wasn’t fear.“Maddie’s room is right below Alpha Adolphus’ suite, right?” Elvin asked anxiously this time.Adolphus growled and suddenly stood up.His instinct of comforting his mate was at peak this time, and I didn’t mind it.“Ummmm….. I think, this is serious.” Nolan spoke this time, and now I was getting impatient.They were not telling everything in one go.“Peter left a message for me around 12 that he noticed some movements around Beta’s villa. He sent three warriors there to check, but they didn’t find anything.” Nola
Nathan’s P.O.V.“We should stop sleeping or resting until they go back.” I muttered angrily while trying to relocate those shadow warriors.“Tell me something that I don’t know,” Adolphus asked with a bitter scoff.It had been three days that they are here and none of us got even a full four hours of sleep.We were exhausted and sleep deprived but keeping the pack safe for Prince Sylvester was keeping us vigilant.“We should take rest in turns. The way we have been losing our sleep, we will collapse soon,” Adolphus suggested with a grim expression.“Tell this to your parents. Only they can make a decision like this.” I scoffed and resumed reviewing the footage to find those damn Shadow Royal warriors.Finding a normal warrior isn’t a hard job but finding a shadow warrior….Synonym of impossible.They are trained from a very young age to stay hidden in shadows. They are trained to kill, not to save. They are masters in many forms of martial arts, have a good knowledge of both poisons a
Madeline’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What are you doubting here?” Adolphus asked me in a stern voice this time.“Poisoning.” I answered him without any hesitation. “Why did you stop them from injecting wolfsbane?” Nathan asked me after I answered Adolphus.I didn’t know why they always played this pop quiz with me at the worst timings.“Because we need their wolves to control their humans, Nathan.” I answered him with a growl, showing my annoyance.“I was just asking. Why are you growling at me?” He mumbled but I didn’t pay attention to him.“Zaid.” I contacted the kitchen head, responsible for the royal warriors' meals, through mind-link.He didn’t answer and it annoyed me.But this was already near 3 in the morning. Of course, he would be in deep sleep.“Matthew.” I contacted the leader of the night shift patrollers through mind-link.We reached the security office building, and I ran towards the monitoring room.We had separate rooms for monitoring different parts of the packs.Two floor
Madeline’s P.O.V. (Continued)He still had the same posture, but I could feel that he was watching me. I wanted to say good night to him, but sensing his spoiled mood, I just took a deep breath and walked out of the bedroom.I was now wearing his t-shirt, which was oversized for me, and the hem was ending at my mid-thigh. Yet it felt weird, as I was wearing nothing inside the t-shirt.I stopped at the door of the suite and narrowed my eyes.How dare they sneak to this floor?“Alert all guards around the pack house. There is an intruder on the alpha’s floor.” I alerted all the guards around the pack house, including Nathan and Alpha Lucifer. Prince Sylvester was also on the same floor, but only two of his personal guards were allowed to be on this floor, but not at this hour.It meant that they knew I am here.“Where are you, Maddie?” Nathan immediately mind-linked me; the urgency in his voice was evident.“I am okay and safe, brother. Ensure Prince Sylvester’s safety first.” I replied
Madeline’s P.O.V.I tried to move away from the hot furnace lying on my back, but to my dismay, it had hands, and it pulled me closer to him. My back was completely drenched with sweat, and even if I was in deep sleep, it made me feel awful.“Aaahhhh.” I grunted angrily and slowly opened my eyes to see what that hot thing was.I moved my face in that direction and blinked harder when I saw the tip of the nose and lips.Wait….Lips?????My mind short-circuited and my sleep vanished immediately.I blinked a few times to see clearly, and my eyes widened in shock when I saw Adolphus’s sleeping face right behind me.“What the f**K?” I exclaimed in shock and tried to flip my body away, but he had caged me.“Adolphus. What are you doing in my room?” I yelled at him.He grumbled something, but I couldn’t make out the words even though I was so close to him.“Adolphus.” I screamed at him this time and jabbed my elbow into his chest to make him wake up too.“F**k.” he cursed, groaning in pain,
Madeline’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You are such a tease, Maddie.” He whispered teasingly but kept his voice husky and low.The intensity of his voice made me feel something churning badly in my lower abdomen.That thing hardened with every passing second, and it only made my breath ragged.His hand moved down on my waist.I was dangerous and yet I didn’t want him to stop.He deliberately pressed his hand, a light and cautious weight.He slowly straightened his body but pressed his hand on my waist, keeping me in the same position, lying on his chest, his buddy between my thighs.“You are beautiful,” he whispered, his breath fanning my face now.I wanted to say something, but my throat was completely clogged.My eyes were now flickering between his eyes and his lips.“You are like a mirage in the desert, princess. I want to touch you, but you go far when I think that you are in my reach.” He said huskily, his face tilting, leaning towards my neck.I felt a rise in his body temperature unde
