Madeleine   I willed myself to keep my eyes on his face and not roam around his body. He looked rugged in jeans and the shirtless look suited him. While my eyes were struggling to not dip down to his bare chest, he asked again,  “Are you okay? Let me take you to the packhouse and then you can tell me everything.” I simply nodded my head as words failed me. I was still shivering a little so to help me feel comfortable, he weaved his hand in mine and I almost stumbled. My hand fit in his perfectly and the way he held my hand protectively made me never want to leave his side. I began walking with him, too awkward to say anything else. I could feel tingles spreading from my hand towards my entire body and I couldn't think straight. My entire mind was focused on our hands and how it felt to be touched by him. I was feeling giddy but my happiness didn’t last long. As soon as my eyes fell on Garron, I instinc

  Hayden   It was hard for me to not look at her and feel something. The little devil in my pants had taken a while to calm down but the moment I touched her, he grew hard again. Damn. I tried to tell myself that this was because I had never seen a girl wearing my shirt…just my shirt. My brain was already imagining the softness of her skin underneath but I willed myself to focus on her face.  She was just harassed by someone and if I were to do the same thing, how different would I be from the person she had run away from? But I couldn’t help it. I wanted to touch her so I pulled her close and gently kissed her forehead. She was scared of returning back and as much as I wanted to keep her away from harm, I couldn’t just take her in my pack. Not with the treaty in place. I would have to find a way to make Garron leave her, respectfully. He thought of her as a slave, and I didn't want that t

  Madeleine I kept looking at alpha Hayden at his words and was utterly speechless. He had been doing nothing except caring for me and making me feel secure since I had met him. And, I, on the other hand, had not done anything to deserve it. The thought made me feel sad but I couldn't neglect the fact that I hadn’t felt this happy or relieved since my pack had been killed. It was as if Hayden’s pack was a complete opposite to that of Garron’s. While Hayden was strict but treated everyone with respect, Garron and the others treated everyone as if they were filth with the exception of Clare. But, I was the one who was treated the worst. In contrast, Hayden’s pack had welcomed me and treated me as an equal. I knew that Hayden was aware that I was wolfless and even I had told it to Raine. I had expected her smile to disappear when I shared that secret but her smile didn’t falter. Instead, she hugged me like my mother w

Madeliene   It was the voice of Garron and I was surprised to see him walk into the patch of moonlight filtering in through the windows a moment later. He was grinning at me and eyed the wooden stick I held in front of me. “Put that aside, Madeleine. I am not here to hurt you.” I looked at the stick and to Garron and back to the stick. I didn’t feel like dropping it, but then he was my alpha. I couldn’t really deny a direct order from him. Thus, I lowered the stick and placed it on the ground. He smiled at me as he said, “ Good girl.” “Now please take a seat.” He extended his hand towards the bed asking me to sit on it.  I was growing hesitant but I agreed to him. There was nothing else I could do either way. Garron pulled a wooden chair and placed it in front of me. Throwing his legs over it, he placed it while keeping the backside towards me. As I looked at him warily, he placed both his hands on the backsid

After I had spent almost an hour convincing Raine to stay with me, I got up from the floor. My knees were feeling a little numb because I had been sitting on the floor for so long but I was glad that she finally listened to me. I wasn’t sure how long she would stay but I thought that I would find a way to make her extend her stay for another few weeks. For now, she wasn’t going anywhere. And, I was growing restless to find a way to the other problem I had. Hence, I left her after a hug and walked out of the door, straight for my office. The file I had been working on earlier was still lying on the desk but it could wait. Now, I had other things to do. As I walked towards my office, I saw Ben hastily rush towards me.  “Alpha, please spare a minute, I wish to talk to you.” I just waved a hand, indicating him to follow me. He did as I asked and walked in the office behind me. I sat on my chair and looked at the watch, “Ok, I
