All Chapters of Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Kai“My father might’ve had reason to end those people,” Gregory said quietly, “but he doesn’t have the capacity to cause that kind of destruction. He’s not wired that way. He’s… peaceful. That’s why he left the family.”I stayed silent, listening as he leaned back slightly, eyes far away.“He had a distant cousin—back then—who kept urging him to revive his grandfather’s kingdom. The old Moonchild line. But he refused. Said he wanted no part in playing king. The pressure from the clan grew too much. So he went into hiding.”Gregory paused.“That was the hardest thing he ever did,” he added. “Leaving meant leaving his sister behind. He blamed himself for Aunt Michelle’s death. Said if he’d taken her with him, she never would’ve gotten involved with Kevin Westwood… never would’ve died.”I watched him closely. His pain wasn’t loud. It sat quietly in the spaces between his words. But it was real.“It’s all water under the bridge now,” he murmured.I looked back at Edmond, still unmoving o

KaiDraco grabbed Abraham’s chin and yanked his face up, forcing the man to meet his eyes.“The secret meetings. The power rotation. You think we haven’t figured out how busy you’ve been behind our backs, Smithson?” Draco’s voice was cold, controlled fury. “You’re a coward.”Then he let go—shoving his face away like it disgusted him to touch him.Abraham winced but said nothing.“Start talking,” Randy said, stepping forward. His voice was calm, but there was iron in it. “We’ve got all day. And no one knows you're here. You could disappear, and no one would blink.”He shrugged, casual. Dangerous.“Give us something valuable… and maybe we’ll reconsider how this ends.”Abraham turned his head toward me, lips bloody, eyes sharp with disbelief. “This is illegal. It’s a crime.”I smiled coldly.“You should’ve thought about that when you set us up at the summit,” I said, stepping closer, my voice low but lethal. “Locked us in that hall. Flooded the vents with silver. Left us there so your wo

KaiAbraham let out a heavy sigh, like he’d been holding the truth in his chest for too long.“Everything fell apart after Narva,” he began. “James went missing. My cousin may be private, withdrawn even—but he wasn’t violent. He left home to escape the Moonchild extremists. He wanted peace, not blood.”He looked up at me, eyes shadowed.“Michelle might’ve had the capacity, but not James. The destruction in Narva? That wasn’t him. But when he vanished… it didn’t make sense. So I started digging.”He leaned forward, breath unsteady.“And the deeper I dug, the more I uncovered—Edmond’s secret.”My blood chilled, but I kept my face unreadable.“He’s been using Moonchilds in illegal experiments,” Abraham continued, now rushing through the words like he couldn’t say them fast enough. “He’s trying to extract the compulsion gene. He wants control. And immunity to it. He’s not protecting Moonchilds—he’s harvesting them.”The room fell completely silent.It felt like the air shifted.Like we’d s

KaiThe room was heavy now—thick with silence, disbelief, and the cold edge of dawning truth.Everything had changed.It was becoming painfully clear we’d been chasing the wrong man.Abraham looked at me with unsettling calm, his voice steady and stripped of malice.“I’ve known about Adasha for years,” he said quietly.Then he turned his eyes to Randy.“I was the only one who knew of her. The person May took her to after the birth—the one who handled the adoption? She was my cousin. The moment May placed that baby in her care, she called me.”He paused, letting that sink in.“I didn’t know what to do. She was Michelle’s child. The last of the direct Moonchild line. So I told my cousin to wait. Keep the child safe.”He took a breath.“Then a few weeks later, two couples from the West came to the council seeking approval to adopt a child. I rejected their request outright—but I knew they were desperate. That’s when I sent my cousin to them. Quietly. Off the record. I knew they’d take her

Adasha“I’m sorry, Adasha,” Gregory said, voice low and full of remorse. “I was out of line… it’s just that I really hoped she passed the genes down to you. It’s important, you know? The survival of our bloodline depends on it.”He wasn’t pushing anymore—just trying to explain why his desperation had broken through his common sense.I looked at him for a long moment.Then I nodded once.“Well,” I said softly, “I can’t wield compulsion.”His eyes widened, and for a split second, he looked… sad. Like the weight of that truth hurt more than it satisfied.But he said nothing else. He dropped it.“So the three Regional Alphas—they know who you are?” he asked, and this time there was a brightness in his voice. A flicker of awe. “I’ve never seen powerful people protect us before. That’s why I’m asking.”I smiled gently, feeling the shift in him. “They know. And they’re doing everything they can to keep it that way.”He laughed, almost boyishly.“Not everyone is cruel, Gregory,” I said. “Ther
