Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 01 Another Dreadful Night
AdashaLiving in a gilded cage—this is my reality. For some of us, life becomes an inescapable trap, bound by invisible chains that are too tight, too complex to break. 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. I lost friends over it, but I didn’t care. We weren’t fated mates, but I told myself love could grow.For the first year, it did seem like a dream. Then the dream soured. Randy revealed a darker side—jealous, controlling, violent. Every attempt I made to leave only worsened the situation.He wielded his power like a weapon, threatening to eliminate my parents if I tried to escape. It wasn’t an empty threat; Randy controlled the entire western territory and had the me

AdashaThe slap came without warning, a crack of force that sent my head snapping to the side. Pain blossomed across my cheek, sharp and stinging, leaving me disoriented. My breath hitched, caught somewhere between shock and fear. I stumbled backward, my body colliding with the cold, unyielding wall behind me. There was nowhere to go—not that escape was even an option.“Randy, please,” I whispered, my voice trembling, barely audible over the pounding of my heart. My hands lifted instinctively, palms out, a futile gesture of defense. His fury was palpable, radiating from him in waves that seemed to thicken the very air. His chest heaved, his jaw clenched, and his eyes—those darkened, unrelenting eyes—locked onto mine with a promise I didn’t dare challenge.“Are you not happy here, Adasha?” he asked, his voice chillingly calm. Each word was measured, deliberate, slicing through the tension like a blade. But I knew better than to trust his composure. It wasn’t real. It was the mask

AdashaWhen Randy was finally done, I lay there, too broken to move. My body ached, my soul reduced to tatters.In his usual twisted way, Randy shifted from monster to caregiver, lifting me as though I were fragile, precious even. He cradled me against his chest, the contradiction in his touch as jarring as the bruises forming beneath my skin. Silent and shattered, I let him carry me to the bathroom. set me down gently, his hands careful now, as if to erase the brutality that had preceded this moment.The hot bath filled the room with steam, but I couldn’t feel its warmth. The water lapped at my skin, but all I felt was cold—an icy numbness that settled in my chest, spreading until it reached every corner of me. Cold and disgusted. Not just with him, but with myself.“You need to stop provoking me like this, Adasha,” he murmured, his tone soft, almost tender, as though he were comforting a wounded child. His hands moved the sponge over my battered skin with a gentleness that made

AdashaMorning crept in slowly, the pale light casting long shadows across the room. Randy’s presence loomed heavy, as suffocating as ever.The buzz of his phone broke the silence, and he answered it sharply, his tone clipped and controlled.“Jason,” he said, and my stomach dropped. Why was Jason calling him?Anxiety surged through me, my pulse roaring in my ears as I strained to catch the other side of the conversation.Randy’s voice grew colder with each word. “I see,” he said, the sharp edge of anger unmistakable. His gaze turned to me, piercing and heavy, pinning me in place.I felt exposed, every secret laid bare under his suspicion.“Okay. Thank you,” he said curtly, ending the call.He set the phone aside and turned his full attention to me. His expression was dark, menacing, and my breath hitched as the silence stretched.“Did you think Jason would go against me, Adasha?” he asked, his voice low and deadly.I froze, panic surging. What had Jason told him?“Throwing yourself at

AdashaThere was no time to second-guess, no space for hesitation. I had been planning this moment for years—three long, agonizing years of plotting, preparing, and waiting for the right time to escape. Each failed attempt had come at a terrible cost.To Randy, my efforts to leave weren’t just acts of defiance; they were personal insults, each failure punished with a fury that left me shattered in every possible way. His rage broke my body and crushed my spirit, leaving scars that ran far deeper than the surface. Every attempt chipped away at who I once was, leaving only fragments of myself behind.But not this time.This time, I wasn’t planning to fail.Some might suggest I seek help from Randy’s family, but they were no saviors. They were as cruel as he was, circling me like vultures, eager for my downfall. Their judgment and disdain were relentless, treating me as though I should be grateful for a life that was never truly mine to begin with. Now I understood why: I wasn’t jus

AdashaI packed everything I could carry and headed out of the house.My body ached from last night’s punishment, every movement a painful reminder, but I forced myself to walk normally. I prayed I wouldn’t bump into anyone. The pack was full of watchers, their loyalty to Randy unwavering. A single misstep, a moment of hesitation, and everything I had worked for would unravel.As I approached the packhouse door, a familiar scent stopped me cold. Pamela.My heart sank. Of all people, it had to be her. Pamela wasn’t cruel, but I couldn’t trust her not to alert her mate or someone else. I steadied my breathing, forcing myself to remain calm. Running now would only confirm her suspicions.“Adasha!” she called out.I turned to her, carefully neutral. Smiling would be too suspicious—after all, what did I have to smile about? Everyone in the pack must have heard Randy’s wrath last night when he punished me for talking to Alpha Jason.I let my exhaustion show, my sadness and brokenness

AdashaI ran with everything I had, my legs burning as Willow, my wolf, propelled me forward with relentless determination.The pain Randy had inflicted was a distant ache now, dulled by adrenaline and the single-minded drive to escape. I couldn’t afford to feel it. I couldn’t afford to stop.Every pounding beat of my paws against the forest floor was a desperate push toward freedom. His cruel words echoed in my mind, spurring me on. The sting of my bruises and the ragged sound of my breath didn’t matter anymore. All I wanted was to get away. To be free.This was my moment, my chance to reclaim my life, and I couldn’t waste it.With each stride, I prayed fervently. Please, don’t let Randy catch me this time.My heart, already fractured from years of torment, couldn’t endure another failure. My body and Willow wouldn’t survive another round of his wrath. This was it—the final push, the last desperate grasp at survival—and I clung to it with everything I had.I had no destination in

AdashaThe wolves emerged silently, their golden eyes gleaming with intensity. Their movements were deliberate, practiced, and lethal.I froze, my breath catching in my throat. How had they gotten so close without me sensing them? I cursed myself for my lapse in vigilance. The relief of escaping Randy had blinded me to the dangers of these unfamiliar woods.There were too many of them. My heart raced as I took in their numbers—this wasn’t a rogue ambush. These wolves belonged to a pack. Their scent carried strength and unity, and judging by their size and discipline, they were Betas. Fierce, loyal, and utterly unforgiving.Willow, a Delta at best, growled low in my mind, but I silenced her. There was no point in fighting. We didn’t stand a chance.Slowly, I fell to my knees, clutching my bag tightly as though it could somehow shield me from the inevitable. Bowing my head, I exposed my neck in a gesture of surrender, praying they wouldn’t see me as a threat.The wolves paused, parti

Kai"This hall was built by our great-grandfathers after the fall of King Lycus Moonchild," Randy said, his voice laced with exhaustion."It was meant to be a symbol of hope and peace."I glanced at him, noting the strain in his posture, the subtle tremor in his hands. He was feeling it too—the slow, creeping weakness as the silver took its toll.We were running out of time."And how exactly is that relevant to our situation?" I asked, my patience thinning.Randy exhaled, his gaze sweeping across the room."Because the times back then weren’t as peaceful as they are now. Our great-grandfathers would have built this place with caution. With escape routes. They had to have been prepared for betrayal, for war."I sighed, rubbing a hand over my face. "We’ve checked everywhere, Randy. There aren’t any hidden doors. No levers. No secret passages."He nodded, his jaw tight. "Then we check the floor."I frowned, but he wasn’t wrong.All this time, we had been searching the walls, the windows,
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 157 What To Do
Kai"You better give her back once we’re out of here."Randy’s voice was firm, but there was something else laced beneath it—desperation. Even now, trapped, he was still clinging to the matter of Adasha.I narrowed my eyes. "You mean if we get out of here."The walls, the windows, the doors—every exit was reinforced. We weren’t walking out of here anytime soon. We had to wait, bide our time until the silver was retracted. And even then, we’d have to fight our way out.Randy’s Beta stepped forward, his tone grim. "The only way out is when they come for us. We need a plan. We have to be ready when they attack."Randy barely acknowledged him. His attention was still on me."You can’t keep her."His voice was raw, something breaking beneath the anger."She isn’t safe with you. Fated or not, you can’t keep her."There was something in his eyes—something more. He wasn’t just spewing possessive bullshit. He knew something.My instincts flared."Just give her back, Malachi." His voice tremble

Kai"You should have run for safety."The words felt hollow, empty—because I knew she couldn't hear me.My aunt lay still, her face pale, her breathing shallow.The wound on her shoulder was ugly, deep, and I knew the silver still lingered, making her healing sluggish.She had thrown herself in harm’s way for me, taken the bite meant for my flesh. And now, she was paying the price.I tore a strip of fabric from her ruined clothes, hands steady despite the fury simmering in my veins, and bound the wound as tightly as I could.It wouldn’t fix everything, but it would stop the bleeding long enough for her wolf to catch up."Trap?"Gabriel’s voice pulled me back to the present. I lifted my gaze to meet his and nodded as I stood, my muscles aching from the shift."It’s odd, isn’t it?" I said, scanning the ruined hall."The attackers aren’t trapped in here with us. They got in, did their damage, and disappeared. Everyone else is gone. Which means—""We were the target."Realization settled
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 155 A Strange Attack
KaiA woman’s scream cut through the air, raw and panicked.Then—chaos.Wolves shifted in frantic, desperate bursts of fur and bone, scrambling to escape. Chairs overturned, boots pounded against marble, voices shouted in confusion. The banquet hall, once a place of power and control, had descended into madness.And then—I saw her.Aunt Ingrid.She turned, her stance fierce, her eyes locking onto one of the intruders. She was ready to fight, to protect—me.But she never saw the other one.A blur of motion. A wolf lunging from the side.Fangs sank into her shoulder.She screamed—a sound that ripped through the air, through my bones, through Orion’s very soul. A deep, gut-wrenching cry of pain and shock.That bite was meant for me.Rage exploded through Orion, white-hot and blinding.I twisted, scanning the battlefield, my vision tunneling. Draco. Where was he?Then I saw him. Already on his feet, his wolf prowling, muscles coiled, ready to strike. His golden eyes burned with the promis

KaiThe shift tore through me like a storm, raw and untamed. A surge of power, wild and ancient, crackled through my bones as I surrendered to the beast within.My breath hitched, my pulse a war drum in my ears.Then—Orion emerged.The transformation wasn’t gentle.It never was. My skin split, fur erupted, and my limbs stretched into something monstrous, something more.My mind blurred at the edges, thoughts dissolving into pure, instinctual hunger. Orion wasn’t just part of me—he was me.And he wanted blood.Randy’s wolf was already in motion, a hulking nightmare of dark, matted fur and eyes burning like molten fire.His growl thundered through the banquet hall, rattling the crystal chandeliers, shaking the very bones of the building itself.The sound carried a promise—violence, destruction, death.I barely had time to brace before he lunged.Orion met him in midair, and when we collided, the world exploded. Tables and chairs shattered around us, debris flying like shrapnel.The impa
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 153 Randy’s Rage
Kai Randy’s rage exploded, so intense it seemed to shake the very air in the room. "You bastard!" he roared, his fury vibrating through every word. "All this time, you made me believe you would help me—meanwhile, she…" His voice cracked, his breathing ragged, and for the first time, I saw it—tears welling in his eyes. "My wife!" he bellowed, his voice breaking under the weight of his anger. "You were sleeping with my wife!" The room shifted around us, people instinctively stepping back, giving us space. The tension was suffocating, pressing down on everyone like a storm about to break. My aunt looked worried. "Technically," Ingrid interjected, her voice rushed, "she came to Malachi of her own free will. She didn’t say anything about you—he believed she was a widow." I immediately shut her down with a look. Because we both knew the truth. I had always known Adasha wasn’t a widow. And I had still chosen her. Randy turned back to me, his voice trembling with rage. "Give her
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 152 Austin’s Storm
KaiAustin was about to create a storm, and he knew it.And I braced myself for the impact."I tried to reach you," he said to Randy, his voice laced with mock disappointment."But you ignored me. Always feeling high and mighty." He chuckled, shaking his head as if I had personally wronged him.Slowly, I pushed myself up from my seat. I wasn’t about to let him control the narrative.I could feel Randy’s attention sharpening now, the weight of his focus settling over me like a vice.Austin smirked, knowing he had everyone's eyes on him."I learned something interesting from Ingrid a few weeks ago," he continued smoothly, his words carrying an edge of calculated malice."She mentioned that this mysterious woman of yours might be a criminal, hiding from people who are looking for her."I felt my aunt stiffen beside me, saw her glare sharpen like a dagger.Austin wasn’t done."You found her in the woods, didn’t you? With your officers. And what was she carrying?" He tilted his head mockin
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 151 Drama And Unease
KaiWith the meeting finally over, it was time to mingle.The shift in atmosphere was almost immediate—the tension didn’t disappear entirely, but it softened, masked by the hum of conversation and the start of the evening’s entertainment.Music drifted through the air, and some took the opportunity to dance with their mates, engaging in lighthearted socializing.But I wasn’t in the mood for any of it.What did catch my attention, however, was that Abraham had seemingly chosen not to bring up whatever had Edmond so on edge earlier.Had he decided against it?Or was he waiting for the right moment?Maybe he feared confrontation. Maybe he wasn’t ready for the pushback. Maybe… he was playing a different game entirely.Only time would tell.And then—Randy walked up to me.I exhaled slowly, already exhausted by the thought of whatever he wanted. I really didn’t need this right now.But what made me pause wasn’t Randy himself—it was Austin.As Randy approached, I caught sight of Austin acros
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 150 A Hot Seat
KaiAbraham did not respond.His silence spoke volumes.Randy leaned forward, his tone laced with barely concealed annoyance."I think the real reason you’re bringing this to the table is because of the power rotation argument," he said, his gaze locking onto Abraham with calculated sharpness."After all," he continued, "Narva shares borders with all our regions. Are you trying to imply that Draco, Malachi, and Iare incompetent?"A muscle in Abraham’s jaw tensed. He wasn’t expecting the conversation to turn like this. He had likely assumed we’d all be too distracted by the Moonchild revelation to connect the dots.Too bad for him."If that’s the angle you’re trying to push, it’s not going to work," Randy went on, his voice firm.The room was silent, waiting. Watching."Our great-grandfathers fought for these regions," he continued, his words cutting through the air like a blade."And that law—that unchanging law—was set in place for a reason. If someone wants to become a Regional Alph
