My fated alpha by Natalie
Chapter 18

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 backside of the chair and then proceeded to place his chin on his hands.

"So, I have an offer for you. I noticed that the alpha of the Blue moon pack has grown particularly fond of you. Maybe, he pities you...either way, I have a nice deal to help both of us live happily."

I raised my eyebrows at that. I had no clue what he could possibly mean by a deal. I couldn't give him something he couldn't find himself. So, I answered honestly.

"I don't know what you mean..."

Garron chuckled and moved his hands through his hair. He waved his finger at me and answered, "You would be going to his pack to train with the rest of our pack. And, I want you to work as my spy. If you do that, I will ensure that Steve doesn't bother you anymore."

He was looking at me with an evil grin as if he had just offered me a once in a lifetime opportunity.

As I began thinking what this could mean, he went on, "See, I know I gave Steve a lot of free reign and he has been manhandling you. But, I was busy with the other pack duties to keep him restrained. But, now I would do that since I know you can become a useful ally."

The thought of Steve never even bothering me was relieving but would I want that at the cost of betraying Hayden?

Yet, I was curious to hear him out. The thought that I would meet Hayden again made me hopeful. If he was going to send me to Hayden's pack, I needed to know what he had planned.

And, I hoped he wasn't just a talker like Steve. I had seen him brutally kill my pack members and I had been wanting to take my revenge on him and Steve, both.

Through Hayden, I would achieve that by becoming stronger. My fingers curled into my fist as I decided I would do it slowly and not rush it. Hence, I looked at Garron in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by spying? What specific information do you need?"

Garron rubbed his hands together and got up from the chair in excitement. He thought he had me cornered.

"Anything and everything that happens there while you stay in his territory. Who does he favor, who does he hate, what are his deepest fears and his greatest weakness..."

I looked at him incredulously. He was cooking something big and I needed to know what he wanted to achieve from this.

"But, why do you think he would tell me all of this? I hardly know him."

Garron was prompt with his reply. He was pacing the room up and down in anticipation and answered,

"He loves his sister, Raine and she probably likes you. So the chances of Hayden trusting you is high too. Thus, you could extract all the information and give it to me."

While I was trying to think of a way out of this he added in a whisper, "Plus, I think he likes you too. I have never seen him be so protective around any girl who throws herself at him. Pity that you are a wolfless girt He will just use and discard you."

His words stung and tears began to form in the back of my eyes. However, I clenched my fist and willed myself to not show how those words affected me.

It was like you had a disability and someone or the other would continuously remind you of how worthless you were every single day.

My mind tried to reason with me

that Hayden would have used me if

he wanted to in the room when it was just the two of us, when I was just in his shirt. But then, another thought told me that he was just being protective in general and didn't have any feelings for a wolfless girl.

I shook my head as I tried to confirm with Garron, "So, I spy for you and give you all the information and you keep Steve away from me?" Garron let out a whoop as if he had achieved a big task. I could only pity him for going to such lengths to defame Hayden.

"So deal?"

I looked at him dead in the eye and answered, "Deal."

He got up from the chair after slapping his hands on his thighs, "That's a good girl. Now, I want you to leave your kitchen duties and pay attention to the ball. It's a

prestigious event and a lot of alph and possible lunas would attend it.

Make a single mistake and not only

is the deal off but your head will be

off your shoulders too." Content

Garron added the last line in all seriousness, his earlier smile wiped away from his face.

"Yes, alpha," I answered.

After he left my cabin, I immediately closed it, ensuring that everything from the windows to the bathroom doors was tightly locked.

My legs gave in as Garron's words seeped into my brain. I had put on a brave face while he was around but now that I was all alone, I shuddered at the thought of what he had asked me to.

I was supposed to betray Hayden? Earn his trust and give Garron all the inside information about him?

While half of my mind was happy that Steve would no longer bother me, the other half was plain disgusted at even having agreed to Garron.

But then I had no choice except to say yes to him. I was at his mercy and if I disagreed with him, he could have very well snapped my neck then and there.

A small voice in my head said that he wouldn't do that if he needed me to betray Hayden, but it was very small.

Unknowingly, tears trickled down my face as I sobbed at the situation I was facing. Never before had I been given a task by an alpha, not even my previous pack.

I wanted to be accepted and treated like an equal but I didn't want to betray Hayden who had saved me over and over.

I spent the rest of the night cursing myself and wishing that I would die before I would cheat Hayden. I could imagine the look on his face when he would realize what I was doing and it was eating away at me. "Why moon goddess? What pleasure do you get in making me suffer?"

I asked her but I received no answer. Wiping my eyes, I got in my bed as my mind was filled with anxious thoughts. I kept staring at the moon through the windowpane and it was late when I finally fell asleep.
