My nervousness along with the fact that he was nowhere to be seen made me believe that he was going to really throw me out.And, I was desperate to talk to him and ask or beg him to not do that.While I was in thoughts, Raine pulled me back from the hug.“So, I hear the reward ceremony along with Hayden’s big announcement is going to be tonight. I guess, he already knows that you have woken up. Thus, I think it won’t be an issue to start it as soon as possible.”I gave her a half-hearted smile and she tried to infuse some courage in me. “Don’t you worry, but now I guess I have to take over for a while. We have a grand ceremony in your honor and so it will be great if you look stunning. We need to get rid of your jeans and t-shirt and make you wear something more glamorous and sexy.”My eyes went wide at the words ‘glamorous and sexy’I didn’t think of myself as either of the two. I

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

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

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

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
