All Chapters of Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Adasha "I said those things to them because I found you, Adasha. Marked or not, I have found my mate, and she is you," Kai said, his voice firm yet tender. His words stopped me in my tracks, leaving me stunned. What was he saying? Could he truly mean we were fated? "Believe it or not, Adasha, but the universe has tied us together. Marked or not, you are mine, and I will do everything in my power to ensure we get our happily ever after—just you and me," he continued, his voice filled with conviction. Tears welled up in my eyes, a mixture of shock and relief streaming down my cheeks. I had never dared to dream of this. To find my mate, to be accepted by him—it seemed impossible. I had spent so long believing the universe had cursed me, shackled me to a cruel fate. But now, hearing Kai’s words, I realised how wrong I’d been. He wasn’t just a reprieve; he was the balance I hadn’t known I needed, the missing piece of my soul. But why couldn’t I feel the mate pull? The question linge

Adasha Ingrid’s expression was livid when she saw me, and I couldn’t bring myself to care. Laura stood slightly behind her, looking uneasy. She lacked the confidence for this kind of confrontation, which told me everything I needed to know—this was Ingrid’s doing. Still, I wasn’t going to take it easy on either of them. “What do you think you’re doing? Have you no respect?” Ingrid demanded, her voice sharp with indignation. I met her glare with a frown. “You’re the one barging into this room. Should I be rolling out a welcome mat for an intruder?” Her eyes flashed dangerously as she stepped forward, her composure cracking. “You’d better watch your tongue, young lady, or else—” “Or else what?” I interrupted my tone calm but cutting. “I’ve told you before—I’m not part of your pack, and you’re not my Alpha. Stop trying to boss me around.” The words were barely out of my mouth before she strode up and slapped me. The sound echoed in the room, and Laura gasped. I didn’t flinch. Compar

AdashaI returned to the balcony, staring at my painting and trying to will myself to focus, but it was pointless. The brush in my hand felt heavy, and the colors on the canvas blurred together as my thoughts strayed.As I stood there, a realization struck me—I hadn’t left the building since I was brought here. There were no rules keeping me inside; Kai had set no restrictions. But the fear in my heart had done that job well enough, anchoring me to this place like an invisible chain.The thought unsettled me, and I resolved to change it. I decided to step outside, to acquaint myself with the world beyond these walls.I wouldn’t go far, just enough to get a sense of my surroundings, and I would avoid unnecessary interactions. Staying close to the pack house would ensure I could return quickly if I needed to.May was likely gone by now. If she were still here, I would have asked her to come with me. Instead, I would have to rely on Mirabel—whoever she was. I didn’t know her, but for now

AdashaThe woman was most likely the head cook; her confident demeanor and slightly different attire set her apart from the others.She held herself with an air of authority, but her eyes brimmed with pure hatred and disdain. It almost made me laugh. Her opinion of me meant nothing.“You aren’t the first mistress to grace his bed, Madam,” she said, her tone sharp and mocking.“Do not think so highly of yourself. Laura is our Luna, and not even Alpha Kai can stop her from taking her rightful place here. It is best you start counting your days.”Her words carried the weight of years of loyalty—not to Kai, but to Laura and Ingrid.“An order was given by the Luna, and we followed. We’ve done nothing wrong. And I believe it’s best you leave the kitchen. You aren’t authorised to be here.”She stood firm, her defiance palpable, as if daring me to react. I met her gaze and walked up to her slowly, closing the space between us.Randy had been many things, but even in Woodshire, no one had dare

Kai “I want you and Laura out today,” I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tense air. Ingrid shook her head defiantly. “I have the right to stay here. This is my home and my pack, too. As for Laura, the matter has been sent to the Alpha Council. Whether she deserves to leave or not is up to them. If she goes, know this: we lose the South too.”Her words burned, and I couldn’t help the surge of anger rising within me. I couldn’t believe my own aunt would side with an enemy against me, but then again, nothing about Ingrid’s motives surprised me anymore. I knew she was technically correct about her right to stay—it was her pack as much as mine. And if Austin had taken his complaints to the Alpha Council, Laura’s position was indeed out of my hands until they decided. Forcing her out prematurely would sever ties with the South, and the council would see it as a reckless move. They had cornered me skillfully, but I’d seen it coming. Still, I refused to be blackmailed into doin
