All Chapters of Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

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 ly

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 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

AdashaKai annoyed me—and scared the hell out of me—when he decided to go on a dangerous mission without informing anyone.Anything could have happened.And if it had, there would've been no help. No backup. Just silence.I was furious. Hurt, too. But the moment he stepped through the doors of Eldenberge, bloodied, battered, and distant, that anger cracked under the weight of reality.He didn’t need a scolding.He needed support.And so, even though my chest was tight and my mind was racing, I swallowed it all and stood beside him. Quietly. Steady. Like a Luna should.But my questions burned beneath the surface.Why was Edmond Bruce so important? Why risk his life to protect a man who had already been exiled by the Council?What did Edmond know?Did this tie back to my missing uncle? Or to the secret meetings Kai had complained about—the ones happening behind their backs, shifting the balance of power in the shadows?I had theories. I had fear.But I said none of it.After Kai informe

KaiI didn’t realize how deeply my actions had hurt Adasha until she opened up to me in the room.I knew I had messed up the moment the ambush happened. I had gone in too focused—too driven by my goal to protect and control the outcome—that I’d forgotten the people waiting for me to come back.Her especially.Seeing her cry against my chest broke something in me. She wasn’t weak. She wasn’t dramatic. She was terrified—and with good reason.I promised myself I wouldn’t be so careless again.And this time, I meant it. Not just with words.So instead of offering her empty promises, I told her the truth.Everything.About the next mission.About Abraham.About what Draco, Randy, and I were planning.She sat up slightly in bed, eyes still red but focused now. “Why Abraham though?” she asked softly. “Why not the others?”I sat on the edge of the bed and exhaled, rubbing a hand over the back of my neck.“They’re all cowards,” I said plainly. “William, Linus… they want power, sure. But they d
