Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contracted Mate To Alpha Konan: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

MADELINE'S POV Maybe it was all manipulation sprinkled with his touch of mischievousness. Maybe it was just one of his many tactics to drag me into the abyss. Maybe this was my punishment for prying into his private affairs. "...What?" I whispered out in confusion. "Why what? You didn't hear me right?" he asked. "Listen carefully. I will say it once more." "I like you, Madeline." That was it. I wasn't mistaken. I heard right. I sat there frozen, my heart hammering in my chest. My mind went for a spin. He likes me? "Cat got your tongue?" Alpha Novare asked casually, a grin evident on his face. The tug of shock and amusement on my face deepened. It was damn obvious. I stared at him, trying desperately to guage his intentions. Slowly, his expression began to shift back to the cold authority I was accustomed to. The casual grin he had flashed moments ago disappeared. It was like watching him reverting to the Alpha Novare I knew, but I couldn't help been anxious. My in

MADELINE’S POV It was a chilly morning. I stood at the edge of the pack training grounds, watching my breath turn into visible puffs in the cold air. I pulled my coat tighter around me, my thoughts random as I replayed the conversation I’d had with Louisiana days ago. I had told her about Alpha Novare's ridiculous demands. She had been unusually quiet since then, which wasn’t Louisiana. But now, I needed her help. The plan I had in mind was simple, but risky. Louisiana despised me, especially where Alpha Novare was concerned. But if I could use her hatred to my advantage, I could get Novare off my back—and maybe ,just maybe,nset myself free. As if summoned by my thoughts, Louisiana approached, her sharp features set in a scowl. “What do you want from me, Madeline? Looking for another fight you can’t win?” she snapped, her tone dripping with irritation. “I need your help, Louisiana,” I said quickly, forcing the words out before I could lose my nerve. She let out a short, mocking l

MADELINE’S POV Today is Louisiana’s Luna ceremony. I wasn’t surprised when I got a message from her, early in the morning. I wasn’t eager to go, but ignoring her wasn’t an option. Her room was bustling when I arrived. Servants swarmed around her, fixing every detail of her outfit—the rose pink dress that hugged her in the right places, the heavy gold necklace on her neck, even the tiniest strand of her hair. Louisiana stood in front of the full-length mirror, soaking up the attention. She was born for it, anyway. “Everyone out,” she commanded suddenly. The maids stood, unsure if they heard her right, before scurrying out like frightened mice. I stood near the door, watching her, until the last servant left. Finally, she turned to me smirking. “What do you think?” she asked, gesturing to her dress. I glanced at the dress. It was beautiful, no doubt, but there was something about the way she asked that made it feel more than a question. “It looks…nice,” I replied cautiously. He

ALPHA KONAN’S POV"It's been a long time since we both went for a run. Something is bothering you, isn't it?" Rosaline asked, panting heavily.It wasn't often I ran with Rosaline. Only when I needed to clear my head or when something bothered me enough to seek her sharp advice. Today, the problem is the former."Madeline is bothering you, right?" Rosaline asked.I leaned against the tree, staring out into the dark woods, saying nothing."I assume you've read Novare's letter," Rosaline pressed on."I have," I replied curtly.I had expected Novare to pull a stunt like this. I knew he wasn't going to let Madeline go completely, tying her to both packs as a diplomat. It was clever, it gave him leverage while making it look fair.But, he didn't know me well enough. What he thought was his move, was mine."She's back in your territory, but not under your control, Rosaline said. You shouldn't behave like the asshole you were once before. Use this time well.""I am not going to control Madeli

GODFATHER'S POV"Madeline has returned to Oceanwolf pack," I informed Alpha Gritus."Madeline?" he asked, his interest piqued."Yes," I affirmed. Not only has she returned, but she's now placed in a key role. She's been appointed diplomat between Crescent Pack and Oceanwolf Pack. She's now part of an integral part of their pack politics."A slow smile crept across his face. This is very convenient, Alpha Gritus murmured. Alpha Konan allowed this?""Not willingly. Alpha Novare might have forced his hand, I replied. Madeline's new role is the perfect bridge between the two packs, and if we play this right, it could also be a perfect tool to turn Crescent Pack away from Alpha Konan and Oceanwolf Pack. Her position is very delicate. She's new to politics. A single mistake on her part could bring chaos. If we can push her into making such a mistake or make it appear as though she has, it will make our work easier.""Konan is a fool, isn't he? Keeping his weakness by his side. He allowed Ma
