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 Hundred Kairos’s POV“Some doors do not ask permission. They wait for resolve.”“If we cross that line together, there may be no coming back.”Seren’s words hung between us like frost in the air.I did not answer at once.I studied her face. The way the firelight caught the silver in her eyes. The calm that always came right before she stepped into something dangerous. I had seen that look before. On the battlefield. On wolves who had already decided.I tightened my grip on her hand.“Then we make sure there is something worth coming back to,” I said.Her breath trembled, but she did not pull away.Elowen cleared her throat softly. “The Thread will not wait long. Once it senses willingness, it opens paths.”Rowan stiffened. “Paths where.”Elowen’s gaze lifted to the dark sky beyond the walls. “Down. Inward. Backward.”“That is not an answer,” Vaughn snapped.“It is the only one that matters,” she replied.The bond stirred again. Not sharp this time. Curious. Like something listening.Seren pr

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-nineKairos’s POV“If loss is the price, then I will decide what I lose.”“If you take one more step toward her, I will tear the Thread apart with my teeth.”The creature paused.Snow hissed beneath its feet as it stopped moving. Blue light pulsed faintly beneath its skin, like veins filled with cold fire. It studied me the way a hunter studies terrain. Not as prey. As resistance.Rowan flanked my left. Two guards spread behind me. Elowen stood rigid, her hands clenched, breath shallow.The creature smiled.“You speak as if the Thread obeys you,” it said. Its voice scraped across my mind rather than my ears. “You are only tied to it by affection.”I lowered my head, muscles coiling. “Affection is not weakness.”“It is leverage.”The shard in my paw burned hotter. Pain crawled up my leg, but I welcomed it. Pain meant I was still anchored to myself.“You should not be here,” Elowen said sharply. “You were not summoned.”The creature’s gaze flicked to her. “And yet I came.”I stepped forward,

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-EightyKairos’s POV“If they want to test my limits, they chose the wrong night.”“They crossed the outer markers.”The words came from Rowan, sharp and breathless, as he entered the corridor with frost still clinging to his boots.Seren was already on her feet.I moved before either of them could speak again.“How many,” I asked.Rowan swallowed. “Three confirmed breaches. East ridge. South stream. And one unmarked.”Vaughn appeared behind him, jaw tight. “The last one worries me.”“It should,” Seren said quietly.She stepped beside me, her hand brushing mine. The bond reacted at once. A low hum. Not pain. Not fear. Awareness.“They are testing response time,” she continued. “Not strength.”I nodded. “Then we respond once.”Rowan frowned. “Once.”“Clean. Loud. Final,” I said. “No pursuit beyond the markers.”Seren’s fingers curled into my sleeve. “They want me to chase.”“I know.”I turned to Vaughn. “Signal the inner ring only. No full alarm. If they hear panic, they will push harder.”Vau

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-SevenKairos’s POV“War does not begin with blood. It begins with a choice.”“You just tied your fate to hers.”The words would not leave my head.They followed me back through the trees. They echoed in the halls of the compound. They sat with me even after the gates shut and the guards lowered their weapons.Seren did not say a word on the walk back.She leaned against me, her steps slow, her weight heavier than it should have been. Not because she was weak, but because something inside her was still settling. Still rearranging itself after the rune broke.I felt it too.The bond was different now.Not louder. Not stronger.Deeper.When the gates closed behind us, the pack finally exhaled. Wolves shifted back into human form. Some sat in the snow. Others leaned on each other. No cheers. No celebration.They all knew what this was.A warning.Vaughn approached first. His face was drawn, his eyes sharp. “Scouts report the forest is quiet. Too quiet.”“It will not stay that way,” I said.Rowa

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-SixKairos’s POV“When the rune tried to take her, something inside me snapped.”The pull hit her like a sudden storm. I felt it through the bond before I saw it in her body. Seren stiffened in my arms. Her breath tore out of her chest. The blue fire around the rune surged higher, roaring without sound.I wrapped both arms around her and planted my feet into the snow.“No,” I growled. “You are not taking her.”The Ravager laughed softly. The sound crawled over my skin.“You think strength is enough,” he said. “You think claws and will can hold what was woven into fate.”Seren cried out. Her fingers dug into my cloak. The Thread between us burned bright and hot, like a rope pulled too tight.“Anchor,” I whispered into her hair. “Anchor to me.”“I am trying,” she gasped. “It is pulling from everywhere.”The rune flared again. Blue light spilled across the clearing. The ground shook under our boots. Rowan shouted orders behind us. Steel scraped free. Wolves growled and shifted.But none of i

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-FiveSeren’s POV“Being carried deeper into the forest by Kairos should have made me feel safe, but all I felt was the pull of something waiting ahead."His arm held my legs steady. My shoulder rested against his chest. Every step he took sent soft vibrations through his body, and the Thread inside me answered quietly. If I had more strength, I would have walked beside him. I hated being held like something fragile. Yet right now, I could not deny the truth.I needed him to hold me.Snow drifted around us, glowing blue beneath the strange fire spreading across the sky. Vaughn and Rowan walked ahead, blades ready. The rest of the strike group followed behind.Lily stayed close at my back, eyes wide with fear she tried to hide.I lifted my head weakly. “Kairos. Put me down. I can walk.”“No.”
