Semua Bab Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Kai May’s recounting of those events had left me angry and bitter, and now, that anger was bleeding into the room. These men wanted to cling to old fears and twisted truths, but I wasn’t going to let them use those lies to justify another injustice. If they wanted to push the matter, they’d have to go through me—and they all knew what that would mean. “Kevin broke a rule. Had he followed the law, that menace wouldn’t have been unleashed on him and his family. It’s Kevin’s fault,” Linus said sharply, his tone dismissive. His words barely had a moment to settle before Randy growled, the sound low and menacing. “This is a very stupid and time-wasting meeting,” Randy said, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “I support Malachi on this one. This woman isn’t a direct descendant. She’s his people, and he has the right to decide what to do with her. This relentless hunting of Moonchild descendants is nothing but cruelty.” He leaned forward, his expression dark, his passi

RandyI paced my room, my thoughts a storm I couldn’t contain. Jacob sat nearby, watching me like a hawk, his expression unreadable but his presence heavy with concern.It was as if he expected me to lose control—to unravel completely. Maybe he wasn’t wrong. Because how could I stay calm after seeing those pictures?The images burned behind my eyes, refusing to fade, their implications stark and undeniable."Randy, you do not seem stable," Jacob finally said, his voice measured, careful. "Malachi noticed your unease at the meeting. You need to tone it down."Tone it down? He had to be joking.I stopped mid-stride and turned to face him, my pulse hammering against my skull. "Did you see those photos?"Jacob nodded, exhaling slowly. "They were displayed for the betas, clear as day. I won’t lie to you—I was worried myself."A sharp silence fell between us. My jaw clenched. At least I wasn’t the only one shaken."We need to investigate that thing," I said, my voice low, firm. "Check out t

Kai "What demons?" I asked, my voice steady, but my mind already bracing for the answer.Draco exhaled, tilting his head slightly as if considering how much to say. Then, with a wry chuckle, he leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees."His parents had a disastrous marriage," he began. "His mother—Lois Olsen—cheated constantly, and she didn’t even try to hide it. My mother used to talk about them a lot, especially after parties or conferences where their fights would be the evening’s entertainment."I frowned, already sensing this story wasn’t going to end well."Lois never wanted to mate with William," Draco continued. "Her father forced the bond because William was next in line for the regional Alpha position in the Olsen family. Classic case of social climbing. But she never hid her disdain for him—never even pretended to be loyal. She took lovers freely, humiliating both her husband and her son in the process."A tense silence settled between us before Draco sighed and s

RandyJacob took my words to heart. He knew there was no room for hesitation—we were leaving at dawn.Every second spent in the North felt like a wasted breath, a delay I couldn’t afford. Too much lay ahead, too little time to get it all done.As we made our way out of the building, a figure moved toward us with urgent strides. Draco’s Beta, Marcus.My guard went up immediately. Given the Stephensons' history—their twisted attempt to sell Adasha out to Draco—I had every reason to be wary.What if Jason had already taken their offer to him? The mere thought sent fire coursing through my veins, but I forced my expression to remain unreadable."Alpha Olsen," Marcus greeted, his tone respectful, but I only gave him a curt nod. I wasn’t in the mood for formalities, and I certainly wasn’t going to pretend otherwise."Apologies for stopping you, Alpha," Marcus continued, clearly noting my impatience."I can see you're in a hurry, but Alpha Bouras requests a moment of your time before you lea

Randy Draco studied me, searching for a reaction, for something to tell that I had more to hide. But I gave him nothing. I saw the exact moment when he realized he wasn’t going to get under my skin and silently conceded. I decided to press forward. "That’s all I have to say about Jason," I stated firmly. "What happens in my pack is my business, Draco. And I don’t take kindly to you snooping around in it. I doubt you’d appreciate me digging into the affairs of the North, would you?" Draco exhaled, raising his hands in a slow, placating gesture. "He reached out to me, Randy. I didn’t go looking for him." His voice was even, but there was something insistent in his tone. "All I’m saying is we should question your in-laws and see what they know. It would put us ahead of Abraham and the others. We need to secure ourselves before they do." I chuckled, low and deliberate. The laugh wasn’t genuine—it was calculated, meant to throw him off, to make him second-guess his angle. "Only a fo
