Adasha

The evening breeze was a cool, soothing balm against the heat of my thoughts.

The night was beautiful in its simplicity—the full moon hung high, casting a silver glow over everything, while the stars scattered across the sky like a thousand tiny promises.

It was the kind of night made for companionship, for shared laughter, or quiet moments spent in someone’s arms. But I was alone, and the ache of that solitude weighed heavily on my chest.

A soft click from the door startled me, pulling me from my reverie. The faint creak as it opened made my heart skip, and then his scent reached me—woodsy, warm, and unmistakably him.

My pulse quickened, a reaction so natural and involuntary it betrayed every effort to keep my emotions guarded.

I set the brush down with trembling fingers and turned from the balcony’s edge. There he was, standing in the doorway, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.

Kai’s presence filled the space effortlessly, and I couldn’t help but drink in the sight of him.

    Adasha“I was rushing home to you, Adasha,” Kai murmured, his voice thick with a mix of longing and frustration.His words wrapped around me, heavy with meaning, but it was the sudden flash of his wolf in his eyes that stole my breath.The gleam was primal, magnetic, and I couldn’t look away.“You say you didn’t miss me?” he asked, his voice dropping an octave, rough and tinged with challenge.I opened my mouth to answer, but no words came. My throat was dry, my voice stolen by the heat of his gaze. I shook my head instead, though we both knew the truth.“Do you know what you do to me? To my wolf?” he asked, his tone lower now, almost a growl. I shook my head again, still unable to speak, my chest rising and falling with shallow, rapid breaths.“Sometimes,” he murmured, his lips curling into a wicked smile, “words can’t say it all.”Before I could comprehend his meaning, he released my hands, his movements swift yet deliberate, and lifted me effortlessly.My back pressed against the c

    AdashaA low growl rumbled in his chest, and in that moment, he couldn’t hold back any longer.With a sharp, smooth motion, he thrust himself into me, and I gasped as relief washed over me, followed by a new wave of anticipation.My world narrowed to the feel of him—his heat, his rhythm, the way he filled every part of me.Nothing else mattered. In that moment, I was his, completely.“Fuck! You’re ready,” Kai groaned, his voice deep and guttural, a raw expression of his desire.He began to move, his thrusts wild and unrelenting. Each motion filled me completely, every inch of him claiming me.I could feel him everywhere, his presence overwhelming and consuming in the best possible way.“Next time,” he teased between breaths, his lips curving into a wicked smile, “you’ll remember how good it feels with me buried inside you—and you won’t lie about missing me.”His words sent a jolt of heat through me, adding fuel to the fire already raging within.Kai knew my body as though it were his

    Randy"Alpha Redwolf said he’ll look into it," Abraham’s voice rumbled through the phone, steady but tinged with an edge of weariness.As the head of the Alpha Council, his words carried weight. They should have brought me relief. They didn’t."However," he continued, his tone deliberate, "he’s prohibiting your men from entering his territory to question his people. Instead, he’ll handle the investigation himself. My advice? Wait for his response and avoid doing anything rash. We all know how Malachi can be."He sighed, the sound heavy with the burden of countless disputes and resolutions.I clenched the phone tighter, forcing myself to stay composed."Very well, then. Thank you for making it a priority. I look forward to a favourable outcome." My words felt hollow, like a desperate formality to end the conversation.But Abraham wasn’t done."Do you know anyone who might want to harm her—or you?" he asked, his voice sharp now, probing.A chill crawled down my spine. "Why do you ask?" I

    RandyJacob didn’t return until nightfall. I remained in my office the entire day, tethered to the space like a man awaiting judgment. I didn’t dare leave, just in case swift action was required.Normally, I would have closed early, eager to rush home to my wife. But she wasn’t home anymore.The apartment, once warm with her presence, now felt cold and hollow, a cavern of memories that twisted the knife of regret deeper with each passing second.Staying there had become a form of torture—my own mind, my worst enemy.The past haunted me relentlessly. Every mistake I’d made played on an endless loop: the things I should have done, the words I shouldn’t have said, the love I should have shown.Regret clung to me like a second skin, a constant reminder of my failures.I should have cherished her. Loved her. Protected her.If I had been the man she deserved, maybe she’d still be here. But I’d let paranoia, jealousy, and fear poison everything.Now, all that remained was the hollow shell of

    RandyJacob and I entered the interrogation room, the air thick with tension. Marvin and Lois sat chained in silver, their faces a mix of defiance and fear.Marvin looked worse for wear, his bruised face a testament to Jacob’s fury.Knowing him, I could only imagine the lengths he’d gone to while tracking them down—and the frustration that had driven him to this point.I couldn’t blame him. I might have done the same.What should have been a straightforward situation had spiraled into chaos, all because of their selfishness."Alpha Olsen! Alpha Olsen, look at what Beta Osborne did to me!" Marvin cried out, his voice grating and pitiful.Jacob let out a low growl, his annoyance brimming just beneath the surface."If you hadn’t run—if you hadn’t forced us to chase you halfway to hell and back—I wouldn’t have had to beat your sorry ass," Jacob snapped, his words laced with scorn."Do you have any idea what you almost caused? What Draco would’ve done if he found Westerners trespassing on

    Randy"I swear that’s the truth," Marvin said, his voice shaky, eyes pleading for mercy. I turned to Jacob, my expression unreadable."I’ll give you some time to think it over," I said coldly, releasing the chain in my hand. It clattered loudly, a sound that seemed to echo Marvin’s faltering confidence."In the meantime," I continued, my voice firm, "you’re going to tell me everything about how you adopted my wife. I want to know why you adopted her, which Alpha sanctioned it, and whether you’re still in contact with the people who gave her to you."I shifted my attention to Lois, her nervousness written all over her face."I’ll give you a chance to answer, Lois. And believe me, what’s about to happen to your husband for lying to me will happen to you, too, if you don’t start talking."Her eyes widened in terror, but the weight of my words didn’t seem to fully register until two guards stepped into the room, their presence commanding and grim.They moved with quiet efficiency, their i

    RandyI could see Lois was nervous, her hands trembling as she wiped at her tear-streaked face. But I didn’t interrupt her.She needed space to speak, to breathe.She knew she had no other choice—she had to tell the truth, and she knew it."The woman told us she could help us adopt," Lois began, her voice quivering. "She said there was a child available… but the child wasn’t in the system. I didn’t ask why."She paused, her gaze darting to Marvin before lowering to her lap."I guess… I guess my desperation clouded my judgment. She told us she could arrange everything—papers, custody—all of it. There was only one condition." Lois swallowed hard."We were never to return to the southern border. Ever."Her voice faltered, and she wiped her eyes again."At the time, it didn’t seem like much of a condition. We weren’t from the south. We had no ties there. It felt like such a small thing to agree to."I watched her intently, every word she spoke deepening the gravity of their situation."It

    Randy"So, you decided to reach out to your regional Alpha—me—and offer her to me for a fee, as if you were some bounty hunters," I said coldly, my voice cutting through the heavy silence."That way, you wouldn’t get in trouble for it… right?"Lois didn’t answer. She didn’t have to. Her silence was confession enough.The memory burned fresh in my mind.They’d offered her to me as if they were doing me a favour, presenting her as though she was a prize to be claimed.To them, she wasn’t a child—they saw her as a way to avoid danger and even profit. After all, the Twelve Families’ prerogative was clear: eradicate the Mad King’s bloodline at all costs.Adasha was no ordinary child. She was premium prey, a direct descendant of the Mad King himself.But when I laid eyes on her, everything changed.I knew, in that moment, that I couldn’t let anything happen to her. Not her.Instead of handing her over to the council, I did something I thought was right at the time.I paid Marvin and Lois mo

  • 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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
