The Runaway Twin: Claimed By The Alpha

Madeline’s POVMy hands trembled beside me as I took long strides in the hallway, rushing towards who knew where. I let the pull of the bond follow my mate’s intoxicating scent, which made my wolf and me go crazy.It’s my 18th birthday. I expected to find my fated mate soon, but not this soon. It turned out he had always been around me.I should have been happy, ecstatic even… but I couldn’t help but feel the threatening tears in the corner of my eyes as I felt exactly who it was and where this hallway was leading me.With heavy breathing, I halted in front of a massive wooden door with engravement on it, feeling rejected even before I could see his face.With my hands holding the cold knob of my twin sister’s bedroom door, I heard muffled voices inside. Mixed with my sister, Amanda, was the voice of that man I thought I’d be with even before the mate bond told me he was my fated mate.“You need to reject her, Felix! She’s nothing compared to me. You know that.”My heart stopped cold

Madeline’s POVFelix's hold on my wrist tightened as he nodded toward the cliff. “There’s a ledge. If we do it now, we can jump a few feet and climb down before they see us.”I threw a glare at him almost instantly, hissing, “If this kills me, I’m haunting you!”He managed a weak smile, eyes glinting with the same uncertainty as mine. Nonetheless, he confidently said, “Deal.”Taking my hand, we both jumped. But since the ground below was smooth and on the slope, it didn’t go as we planned. Instead, we slid down and tumbled through leaves and dirt, covering our clothes.Some small stones and twigs even caused bruises and cuts on our clothes and skin. It only happened for a while as I was slammed into a rock, giving us a full stop.But before I could register the pain it caused to my dislocated shoulder, Felix pulled me up, and we stumbled to our feet. “Come on! They’re still coming,” he groaned.And just as he said, I saw shadows following behind us. Some even shifted to make their ju

Madeline’s POVNervously, I raised my hand and used my index fingertip to try to push the knife a little further from my neck and forced a terrible smile, “I said thanks… Thank you for letting me stay.”“Stay in this dangerous place where the word ruthless probably was born…” I added silently.Completely unimpressed, he put down the knife and threw it on the hidden sheath on his combat boots. “Don’t thank me yet. You haven’t seen what Demonmaw is really like.”With that, he turned and faced the two guards who sneaked earlier and was now immediately shut off with his mere stare. “See that she’s fed and has somewhere to rest.”Sitting properly, letting my legs on the ground, I quietly said, “I can take care of myself.”Instantly, a cold smile formed on his lips. “That’s funny when it’s coming from someone I just dragged out of the dirt.”My brows furrowed, and without thinking, I glared at him, forgetting every fear as it was covered with annoyance. “Well, I didn’t ask for your help and

Madeline’s POVMy eyes locked with Alpha Keiran, and I didn’t look away. Neither did he as he continued, “Some of you will break before the week is over.”His voice boomed in their training hall, giving a chill to every new warrior in training. And honestly, so did mine, but I didn’t show it.Demonmaw Nightwalkers Pack were known for its ruthlessness and mercilessness. If I wanted to escape here, I needed first to survive. And to do so…  I needed to blend in.“Nice pep talk…” I couldn’t help but sarcastically remark under my breath.Keiran obviously put me in with this new batch of warriors to scare me away. Well, I’m about to prove him wrong.

Madeline’s POV“Don’t hold back.” Helena grinned with her arms raised, blocking her face while jumping a little in place.We were in the forest where field training was done. Since it’s not an official sparring, there’s no instructor watching us. But words did spread fast, especially when it turned out that Elena was the first in the senior class.Before we knew it, trainees were already circling around us, watching with great interest.Raising my arms and getting into a fighting stance, I dryly replied, “I won’t if you won’t.”The fight began, and cheer and advice were shouted from the crowd, but Helena and I were living in our own world.At first, I easily dodged her attacks with my speed and fast reflex, but that seemed to have pushed Helena’s button because she started attacking more aggressively.“Not bad… but I thought you were tougher,” she remarks with a smirk as she breathes hard while pertaining to how I’d just block her attacks or dodge.I nodded my head and narrowed my eye
