Chapter 71

Madeline’s POVI stared at him in stunned silence. Not just because he was here sitting beside me on my bed, but because I was once again forever grateful toward him. He was once again shielding me from any danger. But above all things, I stared at him in shock because of the uncontrollable storm of butterflies that burst to life in my stomach, a sensation so sudden and consuming it left me breathless. Gratitude, confusion, something else I couldn’t name… they all swirled together within me, crashing like waves.But then, just as quickly as the joyous feelings reached my heart, it faded.The kingdom and the faces of those who lived there with me before flashed before my eyes, and the weight of reality crashed back into me. No one but me could imagine the danger he was inviting by letting me stay here… by protecting me.“You’re risking a lot by hiding me here,” I said in a low voice, but we both knew how heavy it was.Silence engulfed us, and tension built up in the air.He’s an Alpha

Chapter 72

Madeline’s POV“Who is it?” he asked quietly. Though his voice sounded a little low after trying to speak while controlling his breathlessness, the commanding tone remained.It took a few seconds before a steady reply sounded from beyond the door. “It’s Helena, Alpha. I… I need to speak with both of you.”My heart was still pounding, still feeling breathless. But unlike earlier, when I was drowning with the intimate sensation we share, I was feeling conscious about our distance.I could feel Keiran’s tension ripple beneath my fingertips. Though he pulled back a little away from me after hearing the knock, we were still close to each other, and he remained on top of me, using his straightened arms that were pressing on the bed on each side of my shoulders.His eyes remained on mine for a little while before he closed his eyes for control and pushed himself off me, gently sliding from the door. In a quick motion, we moved in sync as we fixed our appearance.With my back leaning against

Chapter 73

Madeline’s POVI looked at them in confusion and insisted on asking, “How are you guys really planning to do this?”They both looked at me and saw the determination in my face. Standing up, I looked at them more sharply and raised my brows. “I’m not a damsel in distress.”Well, maybe I am in distress. But I am no damsel.They glanced at each other before Keiran sighed in defeat. Our pack has an ally in the witch cities.I looked at him in shock. “But… Aren’t they in hiding?”Witches were known for their witchcraft, but more than a hundred years ago, they stopped using their powers for anything outside their territory. They isolated themselves in their world and lived in peace.I knew they would come out and still mingle among werewolves and humans, but that’s it. They were basically hiding who they were and kept to themselves.“He’s a family friend. Basically, he keeps to his vow. But every now and then, he would come to our aid if needed,” he explained.Pointing at Helena, I asked, “

Chapter 74

Madeline’s POVThe air outside the council hall was thick with late-afternoon fog. We walked slowly through the hallway, exchanging useless small talk to pass the time.“It’s taking forever. You can go back first. You still have to help train the others,” I spoke to Helena, gesturing outside while I leaned back on one of the hallway’s pillars.She raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch. With the increase in new students, spectacular senior warriors like her already had their own troops to train. Her being the first in class had more aside from me.Looking at me hesitantly, she spoke, “But I can’t leave you here alone. How about you get back with me?”I think for a while, the image of Amanda’s glare and Max’s look of impatience flashed back in my eyes. After some thought, I decided that I didn’t want to go back yet.“Don’t worry about it.” Nodding toward the court we just left, I added, “Keiran is still there. I’m not alone.”“But–”She still wanted to retort, but I interrupted h

Chapter 75

Keiran’s POV“Alpha Keiran, I hope that everything that has been said in this room is nothing but the truth.”Those were the words that were first said to me by the elders as soon as Adeline and Helena left the room.Maintaining my expression neutral, I kept my usual demeanour and looked them in the eyes without any hint of hesitation. “I wouldn’t dare.”“By all means.”With that, they stood up and started leaving one after another through the back door. When I left the courthouse, I surveyed the surroundings and furrowed my brows when I didn’t see any signs of Helena and Adeline.Did they leave?Just as the question popped into my head, my phone pinged in my pocket. Fishing it out, I saw Helena’s message on my notification and immediately clicked on it, reading: “Alpha, I need to go back to train the other warriors already. Adeline… I mean, Princess Madelaine insisted on staying.”That stubborn girl!I cursed silently in my mind as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and looked arou

Chapter 76

Madeline’s POVRaising up a letter, I was hiding behind me, my smirk vanished, and I let out a sigh of frustration. Sometimes, I really hate it when I’m right.“What’s this?” he asked, grabbing the already opened letter from my hand.He was about to unfold and read it, but I held his hand midway, stopping him. My eyes wandered around and gestured to a few guards walking around us before I shook my head in warning. “Not here.”He stared at me for a while before nodding his head in understanding and putting the letter in the inside pocket of his coat.“Come on,” he said, putting a hand on my back and guiding me to where our car was parked.Like a real gentleman, he opened the door for me and put his hand on the top of the car’s doorway as I bent down to sit in. I whispered a quiet thank you before scooting over to far inside, giving him room.It’s already dark when we arrive back at the Demonmaw. Aside from some pups playing around with their parents watching over them and guards patrol
