FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW

FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW

Seren had always been told she was weak. An Omega, discarded and alone in a world that only saw her as a lesser wolf. After being betrayed by her pack and rejected by the one person she thought she could trust, she escaped into the wilderness, determined to survive on her own. But survival wasn’t enough. Now, with nothing but her wits and broken spirit, Seren has to rebuild her life from the ground up. For years, she’s lived as a lone wolf, trying to forget the scars of her past. But everything changes when she’s forced to confront the truth of her birthright—and the Alpha who’s never stopped searching for her. Kairos, a fierce and powerful leader with a dark past, is determined to claim what’s his. But Seren has a secret—one that could destroy them both if the truth ever comes to light. Kairos’s eyes burn with something more than desire when he sees her again, and though Seren’s heart fights against him, her body betrays her. He’s everything she swore she’d never need. Yet when the threat of war looms and the forces that destroyed her life are closing in, Seren must make a choice—remain alone and lose everything she’s ever fought for, or surrender to a bond that could either heal or destroy her. Her fate lies in the hands of the very man who betrayed her once, and now, he’s her only hope. But can she trust him again? One thing’s certain—Seren will never be the same.

Chapter: Chapter Forty
Seren's POV"Kairos, you believe freedom is a blessing. For me, it is a bleeding curse."The scent of burning still lingered in the courtyard.By daybreak, where blood had soaked through, the snow had turned grey. Warriors moved silently repairing fences and gathering up remnants from the night's mayhem. I winced with every clang of metal.Staring at the place where the last rogue had fallen, I stood at the edge of the yard. I could still hear him say - "She is aware."Perhaps I did. Perhaps I had always known this would happen.Lily stirred and spoke softly. " Seren, you can't keep avoiding it.""I'm not going to run anymore.""Then what do you think you are doing?"I didn't respond. Because I didn't know the right answer to that question.Before I saw Kairos, the wind carried his scent- steel, smoke, and something darker underneath. He walked with so much con

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Nine
Kairos’s POV“They’ve finally crossed the wall!”The alarm bell tore through the night.I was on my feet before the second toll. The heavy thud of boots echoed from the courtyard, shouts cutting through the cold air.“They’ve crossed the wall!” Rowan’s voice carried from the tower.I grabbed my blade from the rack and bolted into the corridor, Marek already snarling inside me. *Too close. Too fast. Someone had let them in.By the time I reached the yard, chaos had broken loose. Warriors clashed near the eastern fence, their movements blurred by moonlight and smoke. The metallic tang of blood filled the air.“Hold the line!” I roared. My voice carried, cutting through panic.Then I saw her.Seren.She moved like fire—graceful, precise, deadly. Her claws flashed, cutting down the rogue that lunged for her. Another came from the left, and she pivoted, striking him across the throat.For a heartbeat, pride flared through me. And then the scent hit.Ash. Iron. Familiar.Marek’s voice thunde

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Eight 
Seren’s POV“The blood isn’t theirs. It’s mine.”The forest was silent again by morning, too silent.The birds found a safe spot to hid, the trees were also holding their breath.I shouldn’t be here. Kairos had told everyone to stay within the protective walls, when have I ever followed. Especially if there are many uncertainties, questions left answered. I heard Lily’s voice stirred in the back of my mind. You’re doing this same thing again.“I know that,” I whispered, kneeling close to the blood-soaked ground to follow the trail. “But I can’t only look and watch while everyone else pretends this I am not the cause.”It was a familiar scent, metal, ash, and something colder beneath. I dipped my fingers deep into the dirt. The blood was sticky and darkened against my skin.Lily stood still and blanked out. This particular scent… It smells familiar.My chest tightened . “Say it.”It’s from your old pack.I frozed out. I suddenly felt like I stopped breathing. “That can’t be true. They

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Seven
Kairos’s POV“Alpha, we found blood at the eastern border.”The knock came before dawn.Silence followed three sharp raps. I woke up suddenly from sleep and sat at the edge of the bed. I stared at the floor looking for answers I didn't have. “Enter,” I said.Rowan pushed the door open, breathless, dirt streaked across his arms. “Alpha, check and see this.”His voice carried an edge that got me on my feet before I could think. I stepped outside with the cold air enough to bite. Warriors had gathered with grim faces near the eastern fence line. Seren was among them, folded arms, sharp silver eyes reflecting in the dim light. When she looked up, our gazes met. For a moment, the world stilled—until Rowan crouched near the tree line.“Blood,” he said. “Still warm.”I crouched beside him. The dark stain spread across the snow, too much to belong to a small animal. There were tracks too, deep and erratic, leading into the woods.“Rogue?” I asked.Rowan shook his head. “No scent trail. Whoe

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Six
Seren’s POV“You can’t keep doing this, pretending I don’t exist, Kairos.”The cold atmosphere in the Alpha’s house turned tense.No one said anything, but the walls echoed longer even after every footstep especially how servants spoke silently in the same room. Kairos had been intentionally avoiding me for three days now after the feast long enough for me to start worrying.We still met at meetings. We exchange polite nods. But only exchanged few words, like a knife had sliced the thread that used to glue our words together. I watched the training field directly below the window. I could hear Dorian’s laughter carried up from the yard, so careless and light, while my own inside is in great turmoil. I wanted to believe so hard that the distance didn’t matter. That I could just ignore it until it went away.But I would be lying terribly to myself. The door creaked open. My pulse felt like it stopped for a while before I could stop it.“Alpha,” I said without turning. My voice sounded

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Five
Alpha Kairos’s POVIt’s been a grueling week since Seren exposed Silas Granger, and I’ve been buried under a mountain of paperwork ever since. I was pissed—at Silas Granger for his deceit, at myself for not catching it sooner, and mostly at the feeling of betrayal gnawing at me. I had trusted the man. More than that, I had let him into my pack, my family, and now, it was all falling apart. But no matter what I felt, I couldn’t let anyone see it. Not Seren, not the pack, no one. I had to keep my cool.The fact that I hadn’t seen Seren all week didn’t help. It was probably better that way. I didn’t want her to see me like this. She wasn’t a part of this mess, but my heart kept dragging me back to thoughts of her. I couldn’t help it. Being around her, even for a short weekend, felt right—felt easy. But the reality of everything we were both facing quickly reminded me that we couldn’t have what we wanted. She wouldn’t trust me fully, and I wouldn’t blame her for it.The meeting with the o
