Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 202 The Guests
RandyI stayed in the office a little longer than necessary, avoiding the weight of it all, but eventually, the door opened.Magnus entered, flanked by Jacob and a young woman with striking blonde hair and soft brown eyes.She had the jawline.That unmistakable, graceful curve that defined the Moonchild women.There was no doubt—she shared blood with Adasha.She was beautiful, in a way that caught your attention without asking for it, but I didn’t let my gaze linger.This wasn’t about attraction.It wasn’t even about sympathy.This was about duty. A promise.A quiet part I would play in righting the wrongs of our world."Alpha Olsen," Magnus greeted, his tone neutral, professional.I gave a short nod and gestured for them to enter fully."Welcome. You’re safe here," I said, voice steady, even if everything inside me still felt like shifting earth.This was my role now.Not a lover.Not a husband.Just a man trying to do the right thing.“This is Alia Moonchild, James’s youngest,” Magn

Randy“I would prefer to go to the North,” Alia said suddenly, turning to her sister.Their eyes met, and it was obvious they were speaking silently—through their link. Of course they were. Blood always found a way to connect, even when words weren’t exchanged.Magnus shifted uneasily beside them.“I doubt Alpha Bouras would house the two of you,” he said cautiously. “That wasn’t the arrangement. Each of you was meant to go to a different Alpha. For your safety. Until we locate your father and resolve the mess with the Council, you can’t be in the same place. It puts you at too much risk.”I sighed inwardly.Of course.I had silently hoped they’d both leave—head north, disappear from my line of sight. Let me breathe without the weight of fate bearing down on me again.If I could’ve chosen, I’d have taken Gregory instead. Hell, I could’ve handled another warrior, even a wolf with a temper—but not this.Not another woman I could destroy.I glanced at the picture on my desk—the one I sti

RandyEven though I’d been backed into a corner, I held my tongue.I took my time before giving the only answer that made sense, even if it burned in my throat.I hated being boxed in—especially like this.Olivia staying in my wing was a disaster waiting to happen, and we both knew it. But logic had backed me into a wall. Her safety mattered more than my comfort or peace of mind.“Give her a room in my wing,” I said, the words sharp and clipped. Jacob gave me a look but didn’t argue. He nodded and left, leaving the two of us alone.I didn’t look at her at first. Didn’t need to. Her presence was already too loud in the room. Like a second heartbeat thudding against mine.Silence stretched for a few long, charged seconds.“So…” she finally said, voice cool but edged with fire. “You’re just going to pretend you don’t feel the bond?”Bold. Of course she was. Straightforward and sharp-tongued. Nothing like Adasha. Nothing like anyone I’d ever known.“How about I say I’m not interested?

KaiAfter I got the call from Magnus confirming that Gregory’s sisters had been safely delivered to Randy and Draco, I finally exhaled. A weight I hadn’t realized I’d been carrying lifted off my chest. They were safe—for now—and that was enough to grant me a moment of peace.But I knew this was just the beginning. There was still so much to do. So many fires left to put out.Still… before I could face the council or the world again, I needed to put my house in order.And that started with her.There was no more hiding. No more waiting. Not now that Randy was out of the picture, and the truth was no longer a danger. Adasha was mine—and tonight, I would introduce her to everyone as my Luna.I got up from my desk and linked the estate.Dinner will be served in the dining hall tonight. Top officers are to attend. Magnus will be updated. Aunt Ingrid, your presence is expected.I kept the tone formal—but the message was clear. Something important was coming.I walked into the bedroom and p
Last Updated : 2025-03-25Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 206 To Everyone That Matters
Kai We lay in bed for an hour, just breathing together. No words. No planning. Just the comfort of skin, warmth, and silence after days of chaos. When it was time, we peeled ourselves out of bed and hit the shower, letting the steam wash away the fatigue of everything we hadn’t said out loud.I threw on a simple black t-shirt. I’d been in a turtleneck all day—buttoned up, reserved. Tonight wasn’t about posturing.Tonight was about clarity. Letting everyone see exactly where things stood. I wasn’t hiding anymore. And I wanted everyone to see I was no longer available. That part of my life was done.Adasha stepped out of the closet, wearing a soft cream gown that fell just above her knees. Simple. Elegant.Her neck was bare—deliberately bare—and my mark stood out in stark contrast against her skin. My wolf stirred.Orion surged, possessive, primal. He pressed against my skin like he wanted to tear through it just to show the world she was ours. I held him down, barely."You look nervou

Kai My gaze slid to my aunt.Ingrid hadn’t moved. Her wine glass was untouched. Her hands folded neatly on her lap. Calm. Regal. Too quiet.She looked directly at me, then at Adasha."You move fast, Malachi. No waiting time," she said, her tone unreadable.I didn’t respond. I simply looked back at her, unblinking.She studied me a moment longer, then something shifted in her expression—something small, almost imperceptible. The edge dulled."Congratulations to both of you," she said, finally. "I wish you a long, blissful life together."And she smiled.Genuinely.Then she turned to Adasha. “You’re even more beautiful when relaxed, dear.”I didn’t know what shocked me more—her choosing diplomacy, or the fact that her smile seemed real. Not the strained, performative kind. It was soft. Measured.Adasha blinked, clearly unsure how to respond. She offered a polite smile, nodding gently. “Thank you,” she said, her voice steady.I kept my expression neutral, but inside, I was watching Ingri

KaiMorning broke like a held breath finally exhaled. I summoned the heads of every family, the weight of the coming announcement pressing against my chest.The news would echo across both regions under my rule, and I needed every word to land with authority.This was the moment I introduced Adasha—not by name, not by face, but by title. Their Luna.I didn't show her to them. Not yet.The Moonchild hunters were still out there, and I couldn’t risk them recognizing her. But my voice, steady and final, carried enough weight.The message was clear: they had a Luna now, and she was not to be questioned.I kept her identity hidden for a reason.Austin and Tamara were still watching, and if what May said was true—if Adasha bore the faces of both her mother and Kevin—then the Westwoods would see the resemblance in an instant.That kind of recognition could unravel everything. They’d use it to corner me. Twist it. Destroy her before she had a chance to stand.I couldn’t let that happen.Adash

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—n

Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 246 Happy Birthday, Redwolfs
AdashaThe sun was already high when the first cars pulled up the drive, tires crunching against the gravel.I stood near the front steps, Michelle balanced on my hip, Ethan clinging to Kai’s hand beside me.The soft hum of laughter and voices rolled in from the yard where balloons bobbed in the breeze and long tables were set with food, drinks, and gifts wrapped in all colors of the rainbow.One by one, they stepped out of the vehicles—and my heart swelled with something I couldn’t quite name. Gratitude, maybe. Or just the deep, overwhelming warmth of seeing people you love all in one place, safe and smiling.Randy was the first to appear, looking more relaxed than I’d ever seen him.Olivia walked beside him, glowing in a flowing dress that barely disguised her growing belly. He had one hand protectively resting on her lower back, the other carrying a stuffed bear nearly the size of Ethan.“Don’t say anything,” Randy said with a mock glare as he saw me smirking.“I wasn’t going to say
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 245 Two Years Later
AdashaTwo Years LaterThe war with Tamara and Edmond felt like a lifetime ago.Now, the only battles Kai and I fought were over who had diaper duty or who could make the twins laugh harder.Our twins were turning one, and the house buzzed with energy as we prepared for their birthday celebration.We’d been wrapped in a bubble the past year—busy, blessed, and exhausted. Life had shifted. Priorities changed. And in that quiet, we’d drifted from everyone we once fought beside.This party was more than just a celebration for the twins. It was a reunion. A chance to gather everyone who meant something to us. To laugh. To remember. To feel like a family again.So much had changed.Randy had ended up fated to Olivia—Uncle James’ daughter.They were mated now, and from what I heard, completely inseparable.They were expecting their first child, and I couldn’t wait to meet the little one when the time came.Randy had softened, grown into himself, and it showed. I was genuinely happy for him.
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 244 I Accept
Randy“Well, are you just going to stand there?” Her voice snapped me out of the trance.I blinked. She was staring right at me, arms crossed, like I’d kept her waiting too long.“I… I thought you were— I was just—” I stammered, completely unprepared.She laughed. Soft, amused, but laced with something that curled in my gut.“Now that my family’s free, you thought I’d leave?” she asked, eyes locked on mine like she was reading every thought I’d tried to bury.I couldn’t answer. Because yeah… part of me had.She saw it. Smirked. And then, without a word, grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room.Before I knew it, I was sitting on the edge of her bed, heart pounding like I’d just run ten miles.She stood in front of me, the wickedest smile tugging at her lips. Then she slid the sheer robe from her shoulders and let it fall.I forgot how to breathe.The lingerie underneath was designed to kill. Lace. Skin. Confidence. Everything about her said mine, and she wasn’t asking for permissio
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 243 Homecoming
RandyI didn’t stick around in Bridewood after the council hearing. There was no point. My business wasn’t here—it was back home.And after everything we’d seen, everything we’d nearly lost, I wasn’t about to waste another second.The universe had given us a rare gift: survival. A second chance. That kind of mercy doesn’t come often, and it sure as hell doesn’t come twice.I had someone waiting for me. A sharp-tongued, stubborn woman who challenged me at every turn and still somehow made my world make sense. Olivia.She’d crashed into my life like a storm, and I’d spent too long pretending I didn’t want to get caught in it.No more second-guessing. No more keeping her at arm’s length because I thought it was the “right” thing to do.I was done holding back.Adasha was smiling again.That look in her eyes—that light—I hadn’t seen it in years. And if she could forgive me, then maybe it was time I started forgiving myself too.So we packed up. Jacob, Thompson, and I hit the road back to
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 242 A Fight For Balance
Kai"So what are you trying to suggest, Alpha Bouras, Alpha Olsen?" William asked.Draco didn’t blink. “I say we abolish the law against the Moonchilds—and give them a seat among the Twelve. It’s rightfully theirs.”The room froze. Then exploded.Voices rose like a storm, clashing over one another. Some shouted in disbelief, others in anger. No one talked about making the Twelve into Thirteen. That was the part that made them really uncomfortable.Draco stood steady, calm in the storm.He didn't care.And neither did Randy.“I strongly support Alpha Bouras,” Randy said, rising to his feet. “When Edmond crossed the line, it wasn’t the Twelve that stopped him. It was a Moonchild. When everyone else fell, she stood. It’s time we stop punishing a bloodline and start honouring it. This is what justice looks like.”The murmuring dropped, volume shifting as some heads nodded reluctantly.I stood next.And I didn’t sugarcoat it.“I agree,” I said. “I don’t care what anyone in this room thinks
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 241 The Sentencing
KaiIt explained everything.Adasha’s blood would have completed the serum. Stabilised Edmond’s mutation. Kept his eyes from bleeding, his mind from fracturing, his body from falling apart.Without it, he looked like something from a nightmare—a shell of a man, straining to contain power not meant for him.But what I still didn’t understand was why. Why go this far?Why betray the very council he sat on? His family had power. He had influence.So why?And still, Edmond refused to speak. Sat silent in his silver cage, eyes dull with defeat. Or delusion.Tamara wasn’t much better—except she wouldn’t stop crying.But not for her victims.Not for her daughter.Not even for the madness she helped unleash.No.She kept looking at Austin, pleading, weeping like the betrayal hadn’t even happened.“I never cheated on you, Austin,” she said, loud enough for the entire hall to hear. “I just… I wanted more for us. For our daughter. The Redwolfs were going to cheat our family. I couldn’t stand by
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 240 Still In The Hall
Kai"You have a big heart, Malachi," Abraham said, his voice low but warm.It pulled me back from watching Adasha and Austin—the quiet reconciliation unfolding in a single conversation.I gave him a faint smile. “A foolish one, too.”He shook his head. “No. You acted based on what you had. I must say, you three are wise. I had no proof—only suspicion. And yet you gave me the benefit of the doubt.”He looked around the council hall, his expression sobering.“It’s all in the past now,” he added. “And know this—I bear no grudge.”I nodded, and for once, I felt the weight ease a little.That’s when the room shifted.The side doors opened, and Gregory walked in, flanking a man I didn’t need to be introduced to.Tall, weathered, lean from hardship but still standing with dignity.The resemblance to Gregory was uncanny. But it was the eyes that told me who he truly was.James Moonchild.Adasha’s uncle.Michelle’s brother.One of the most hunted, most whispered-about survivors in our entire w
Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow 239 The Next Big Moment
KaiWe talked over the final details of our trip to the council, and that’s when I learned Austin had insisted on joining us—even though he hadn’t fully recovered.But I understood.He needed to be there.Not just as a witness, but as a man with something to put right. His presence was required, and maybe… so was his redemption.As for Laura—she was out of danger, physically—but her path was clearer than ever.She would be returning to Rivercreek.Did Tamara ever tell her the real plan? Or was she just another pawn? Another disposable piece to be sacrificed for her mother’s social climb?I couldn’t say.And maybe it didn’t matter.I didn’t feel sorry for her.I hoped she’d be better. That she’d choose better. But deep down, I knew I’d dodged a bullet.If fate hadn’t intervened—if Adasha hadn’t come into my life—I could’ve ended up just like Austin. Bound to someone who wore the name but none of the heart.There was no way Laura didn’t carry some of Tamara’s venom. It was in the way sh
