Adasha has endured seven years as the Luna of Woodshire, trapped in a nightmare of cruelty and control at the hands of her possessive chosen mate, Alpha Randy. Desperate to escape his violent grip, she risks everything, fleeing into the depths of the woods with nothing but a small bag and an unyielding resolve to reclaim her freedom. However, freedom comes at a cost. Captured by another powerful pack, Adasha finds herself face-to-face with a commanding and enigmatic Alpha who sees through her lies. Yet, instead of rejecting her, he is inexplicably drawn to her—for reasons she cannot fathom, she is his destined mate. Caught between the fear of being returned to Randy and the glimmer of hope this new pack offers, Adasha must tread carefully. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, her path becomes a delicate balance between survival and a chance at the life she has long yearned for.

Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 217 A Need To Act
KaiAdasha and Gregory hurried toward me the moment I stepped into the house. The worry in her eyes was unmistakable—wide, searching, too quiet to be anything but fear barely held in check.My aunt followed close behind, her expression tight with concern. But true to form, she led with scolding, not softness.“Why get yourself tangled in Edmond’s mess?” she snapped. “You’ve got enough fires burning.”I didn’t answer her right away.My eyes were on Adasha.She stopped just in front of me, her breath catching as she took in the blood on my shirt, the bruises forming across my ribs, the shallow wound at my temple. Her hands hovered—unsure where to touch, afraid to hurt me more.And worse, her expression said everything I feared.I hadn’t told her.Hadn’t said goodbye, hadn’t given her a word of warning before leaving.She didn’t need to speak—I knew I’d broken something fragile in her with that silence.I thought it would be quick. A simple in-and-out extraction.But it hadn’t been.“I d

Kai The weight pressed down like gravity had turned personal.One by one, my men dropped—eyes wide, mouths open in silent agony. Magnus wavered, his massive form trembling, breath labored, legs shaking under the invisible pressure. Edmond collapsed near the tree line, completely limp.And me?I stood.Chest heaving. Rage boiling.I felt it—just barely. A pull at the edge of my consciousness. Like fingers trying to dig into my mind. Trying to own me. But they couldn’t. Because the bond with Adasha surged like wildfire, blazing through my spine, anchoring me in a way compulsion couldn’t breach.My wolf didn’t just resist—it rejected it.Whoever was behind this… they were strong. But they weren’t here.They were watching. Testing. Hiding behind the trees like cowards.I turned on the nearest wolf and tore into him without hesitation.Blood exploded across the forest floor as I ripped into his chest. My claws found bone. My teeth found his throat. He howled once—then nothing.Another lun

Kai I crouched low behind a moss-covered boulder, eyes sweeping the shadow-drenched treeline. The air was thick with pine, damp earth, and something else—something sharper.The kind of scent that didn’t come from nature. It settled on instinct, not memory.Something was off.Magnus crouched beside me, his form hulking and still, every muscle coiled like a spring. We didn’t speak.We didn’t need to. Behind us, five of my best warriors waited in silence, weapons ready, eyes trained on the shadows.They were disciplined—chosen not for their size, but for their precision.Edmond was somewhere inside that rundown cottage, thirty feet ahead. A single light flickered behind a warped curtain, leaking through a cracked window like it was struggling to survive.I linked my men.“On my mark. No noise. We’re in, we get him, we’re out.”Magnus gave a short nod.The air was too still.I could still hear Edmond’s voice from earlier—shaky, barely held together. He hadn’t just been hiding. He’d been

Kai. I hung up the call and immediately opened my secured terminal. If Edmond was still out there, I needed to know—and if he wasn’t, I needed to know who had him.I kept the message simple. Careful. Disguised.Subject: A Quick DiscussionDear Mr. Bruce,Kindly reach out to me when you can. I’d like to speak with you regarding a minor issue I’m having with the Council concerning my mate. I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss my options with you.You may reach me directly on my personal line. If necessary, I’d be happy to arrange a pickup, or if you’re able to come down yourself, I would be grateful.Looking forward to your response.Warm regards,Malachi RedwolfThe topic of Adasha was a deliberate misdirection. Edmond would know that. He was sharp—and cautious.I mentioned my Luna because it was completely unrelated to the real issue. If the wrong eyes saw the message, they'd think I was just seeking advice over a political complication. Nothing suspicious. Nothing alarming.But

Kai It had been a week since we received the official message that Edmond would be arrested and presented before the Council for a hearing.According to the text, it was meant to happen three days after the notice came through. But that deadline had come and gone—and nothing.No update. No cancellation. No reminder. Just silence.Too much silence.Edmond had gone dark, too. No replies to my messages. No answer on the secure lines. At first, I told myself he was laying low—keeping quiet until the hearing. But now? Now I wasn't so sure.The whole thing reeked of something calculated. Deliberate.It didn’t sit right with me.We were supposed to move on Abraham shortly after Edmond’s hearing. Our plan had been precise. Quiet. Ruthless if it needed to be. But what if Abraham had gotten wind of it? What if he knew?What if he beat us to it?I couldn’t rule it out.Abraham didn’t play fair—he played first.And if he’d taken Edmond without making noise, then we’d lost our only key witness an

KaiI kept the fight from Adasha.Instructed everyone—my staff, my warriors, even Magnus—that no one was to mention it when she returned. Not a whisper. I didn’t want her worrying, didn’t want her guilt-tripping over a mess she had no hand in causing. And it worked. The days that followed were peaceful—blissful, even.She was light. Bright. Unbothered.Each day, she had new stories for me—ones filled with curiosity, moments from her quiet walks in the gardens, her painting sessions on the balcony, the little things she found amusing in my world. I soaked it in, knowing how rare calm like this was. I wanted to protect it for as long as I could.Then, on the third day, the council’s response arrived.An official letter.I already knew what it was before I broke the seal.They’d nullified Adasha’s position as Regional Luna for the East and South. Stated clearly that the Council would only recognise a Westwood by name.I sat with the letter in my hand, alone in my office, the seal still l

Kai“My daughter isn’t a bitch,” Austin growled at me.I stared at him for a moment, wondering if he fully understood what he was doing—or if he’d simply lost all sense in some desperate effort to impress his wife or save face in front of the other family heads. Either way, it didn’t matter. He’d just crossed a line that couldn’t be uncrossed.I stepped forward slowly, calmly. My voice dropped just above a whisper, low and lethal.“If you don’t want me to harm you… or your cute little family,” I said, “then it’s best you leave. Right now. Otherwise, I’ll consider this an ambush—and I’ll be forced to defend myself.”I paused, eyes narrowing.“You don’t want that, now do you?”But it was already too late.Before I even finished speaking, Austin growled with a challenge.Magnus moved forward, teeth bared, ready to jump in—but I linked him.Stand down.I’ve got this.He didn’t like it, but he obeyed, stepping back and forming a line with my warriors. Linus Brown, Gavin Richmond, and Willi

Kai"I guess you three couldn’t mind your business and just had to get involved in the feud between the Westwoods and my family," I said, folding my arms as I studied them. My voice wasn’t loud—it didn’t have to be.All three of them shifted slightly, almost unconsciously stepping aside. Nervous. Uncertain. Good."We’re just here to plead with you," Gavin Richmond said, stepping forward carefully, “to stop messing with order and do the right thing.”I nearly laughed.If only he knew.The other two men—Linus Brown and William Taylor—stood there like statues, acting neutral, but I knew better. They weren’t here to plead. They were here to put pressure on me, to back the Westwoods without getting their hands dirty.“Order?” I repeated, raising an eyebrow. “Tell me, Gavin—what order am I messing with exactly? Since when does the Twelve dictate who I mate with? Who becomes Luna in my house? Did I miss the part where they started controlling the bonds of fate?”Austin growled, sharp and gut

Kai Magnus was quiet for a beat too long before answering.“The Westwoods,” he linked finally, his voice heavy. “Along with Linus Brown, William Taylor, and Gavin Richmond.”I bit the inside of my cheek.Of course.Two power-hungry relics who thought the seat of authority was theirs by birthright, one overambitious opportunist with delusions of grandeur, and a family head so naïve he could be bought with a polished title and a fake smile.How perfect. Just the kind of morning I needed.“They tried to push their way into the estate,” Magnus added. “I blocked them at the entrance with three of our men. Told them they didn’t have an appointment and wouldn’t be let in.”I could already picture it—Magnus standing tall, unshaken, while those parasites threw their weight around like they still ran the world.I arrived close enough to hear the argument.“What do you mean?” Austin had barked, “The Westwoods merged with Redwolf. We have jurisdiction here too. My daughter is the rightful Luna—

No matter how hard we try to free ourselves, we remain ensnared.At eighteen, I was chosen to be Luna of Woodshire. What should have been an honour quickly turned into a waking nightmare. Back then, Randy—my husband and Alpha—had seemed perfect. He was charming, attentive, and loving during our courtship. Everyone envied me, even to the point of jealousy.
