50–Caught Kissing The Alpha

Madeline:

“ I kept falling deeper into his prison. I’ve been repaying that debt for years, but now I’m finally free. I don’t care anymore. If they want to arrest me for breaking the deal, let them. I no longer care, Madeline, because I cannot live without you. Do you hear me?” he shouted.

My body froze. For a moment, I felt like the same Madeline who used to be too meek to speak up. The emotion in his voice was so raw that it felt wrong to even say a word.

“I don’t know what to say,” I murmured, taking deep breaths to calm myself.

“And then he told me that you knew about him marrying Penny, that he paid you to stay silent. We had clips, videos.” He paused, taking a deep breath and rubbing his chest. “Madeline, you must see me as a horrible person and I’m sure I am. For what you went through, definitely, I am. But don’t ever say I don’t love you. You were the only one I ever loved p>

His confession sent chills down my spine. I didn’t know what to say anymore.

His raw emotions gave me goosebumps. Then I noticed the way his bones began to crack. He groaned, falling to

his knees.

“What is going on?” I cried, rushing to his side and squatting beside him.

He groaned louder, his neck twisting back. He gripped my arm for support, and I could feel the pressure of his hold, it was clear he was in pain.

“You should go out and transition to relax,” I suggested, but he shook his head even harder.

“Cannot,” he whispered. “My wolf is in pain.” He threw his head back and lay flat on the ground, squirming in

agony.

“But why?” I asked in confusion.

“ I … I forced my wolf to come out to save you when he was on wolfsbane Now he’s in constant pain.” He hugged his stomach and turned onto his side.

At this point, I didn’t know what to do. As soon as I touched his arm, I realized how cold he was.

“Oh my God, you’re turning cold,” I gasped, looking around for something to warm him up.

I helped him up, struggling to move his heavy body toward the bed. It took me a while to get him there since I still hadn’t spoken one–on–one with my wolf.

I had no idea what was happening. All I knew was that she came out under pressure to protect me.

Once he was lying on the bed, I grabbed a blanket to cover him, but he caught my hand, stopping me.

“Please stay, ” he whispered, his lips turning blue.

“Graham, you’re not well. You’re scaring me,” I whimpered helplessly, watching his skin turn pale and blue.

“Stay, and I’ll be fine,” he murmured softly, his eyes closing.

At this point, I felt the need to comfort him. He had saved my life, and the least I could do was return the favor.

He was also Gina’s father, and with everything coming to light, I couldn’t help but feel responsible for his

condition, for whatever he had gone through with his father.

I should have told him about his father’s games.

I didn’t know what he meant when he said he’d signed a deal with his father, or what kind of deal it was.

But for now, I knew I had to let go of the hatred I felt for him and focus on helping him.

Without thinking much, I placed my hand on his forehead, trying to give him warmth.

But he quickly caught my hand, lowered it, and placed it on his chest.

“This is how you give someone heat,” he whispered.

Before I realized it, he rose slightly from the bed and hugged me, wrapping his arms tightly around me.

For a moment, I couldn’t move.

I was conflicted, but I placed my hands lightly on his back. His body and scent were so intoxicating that I couldn’t push him away.

My wolf needed this. She was fighting hard.

“Thank you,” I heard a whisper from my wolf, and my eyes flew open in shock.

Still, I didn’t break the hug. A part of me was under her control, and she refused to let go p>

We stayed like that awkwardly until I finally began to pull away.

“I understand that a lot has happened,” I said softly, “but it doesn’t change the fact that I’ve been through a lot too and that we’ve both moved on with our lives p>

The moment I broke the hug, he cupped my face and leaned closer. This time, his lips met mine.

It felt as if every buried urge had come alive again, fluttering inside me like butterflies.

Even though I knew it was wrong, even though I knew we weren’t supposed to be this close, my wolf wouldn’t let go.

But I was fully conscious, fighting my wolf.

I couldn’t let her make a mistake, she was only just emerging and needed time to accept the truth about our lives.

So, I started to pull away. But just as the brief kiss, barely two seconds long, was about to end, the door slammed open, and a flood of media stormed in.

“And here we have it, the human researcher and the Alpha who saved our children from a suicide mission they were sleepwalking into,” the reporter announced.

I pulled back instantly, realizing they were broadcasting live.

“What the heck are you doing? Do you have no sense at all?? Graham shouted.

As soon as he yelled, the reporter bit her tongue and motioned for the camera to be lowered.

“We’re so sorry, we didn’t know,” she stammered, glancing between Graham and me. “We’ll wait outside. Can you please come out and give an interview? Everyone is really happy about what you both did for the children p>

She continued to speak cheerfully, ready to celebrate their first success. But the way she had barged in, camera

lights flashing, didn’t feel right.

My mind was already spiraling, had the camera been rolling when she walked in?

How many people had seen us? The questions flooded my thoughts until Graham asked her to leave so we could get presentable.

As soon as she stepped out with the crew, I turned to Graham.

“They were broadcasting live, Graham,” I said, fear clear on my face.

He didn’t look half as concerned.

“ I mean, it’s bad and unprofessional, but it’s not like we committed a crime. You’re my mate. I’ll handle everything. Don’t stress yourself out,” he said, rubbing his arms and cracking his knuckles.

It seemed that just one kiss from me, just a bit of warmth, had already revived him.

What shocked me was his calmness. But he was about to be even more shocked when he heard what I was thinking.

“But I don’t want anyone to know,” I whispered.

He lifted his head, staring at me in disbelief.
