Chapter 12: Raindrops and a Deceptive Embrace
publish date:
2026-06-23 21:13:36The next morning, Merin awoke with a feeling of being completely shattered. Her body ached in every part. The rope marks on her wrists and the bruises all over her body were a reminder of the cruel punishment of the night before. But what hurt the most was her mind… being forced to say Aries’s name. It was an unconditional admission of defeat.
What had she become? A doll passed between two Alphas, one who inflicted physical pain, the other who inflicted mental pain… how could she go on living like this?
The thought of escaping popped into her head for the first time. It wasn’t a thought born of planning, but a raw instinct for survival. She didn't know where to go, didn't know what to do, but she just knew… she had to get out of this place.
She waited eagerly for an opportunity. Throughout the day, she feigned normalcy, showing no signs of suspicion. But inside, she was planning meticulously. She observed the bodyguards' shift changes, looked for blind spots in the security cameras, and searched for places to hide.
Luck was on her side… or perhaps it was hell paving the way for her. In the late afternoon, the once-bright sky began to darken with large rain clouds. The bodyguards became busy with clearing things in the garden, and it seemed a blind spot had appeared at the back wall of the mansion, which was adjacent to a small forest.
This was her only chance!
Merin summoned all the courage she had. She took a small amount of cash that Lisena had once given her and hid it in her shoe, before tiptoeing out of the bedroom quietly. Her heart was pounding as if it would burst from her chest. Every step was filled with suspicion, fearing that someone would find her.
She snuck along the bushes, avoiding everyone's eyes, until she reached the back wall she had her eye on. It was too high to climb over, but luckily, a large tree was leaning against the wall.
Merin climbed up clumsily. The dress she was wearing was a major obstacle, but her desire for freedom was greater. Finally, she was able to get over the wall!
The first feeling she felt was freedom! She was free!
She ran… ran into the forest without looking back. She didn't know where she was going, only that she had to go as far as she could.
But then… heaven was not on her side for long.
Drip…
The rain began to fall, one drop, then two, before pouring down heavily. Merin was soaked to the skin in a matter of minutes. The cold began to grip her bruised body. She kept running until she reached a main road.
The outside world she had yearned for wasn’t as beautiful as she thought. It was full of cars driving back and forth. The people walking by looked at her strangely… the look they gave a woman in a soaking wet dress running out of the woods.
She had nowhere to go… no one to turn to. The feeling of loneliness and despair overwhelmed her mind again. The freedom she had gained was so empty and terrifying.
Merin collapsed, crying at a deserted bus stop by the side of the road, letting the rain wash away her tears and her pain. This was truly the lowest point of her life.
And just as she was drowning in despair… a familiar luxury sports car pulled up in front of her.
The car door opened, and Lisena’s tall, slender figure stepped out with a large umbrella. She didn't look angry or shocked, but instead looked at Merin with eyes full of… concern.
“Merin… I’ve finally found you.”
Lisena walked towards her slowly. Her voice was soft and full of relief. “I was so worried about you, you know? Why did you do this?”
Merin looked up at the female Alpha with tears in her eyes. She didn't even have the strength to say anything.
Lisena took off her expensive outer coat and draped it over Merin’s trembling body, before pulling her into a tight hug amidst the still-pouring rain.
“It’s alright now… it’s alright,” she whispered soothingly in her ear. “I’m here now… I’ll protect you… I’ll protect you from her.”
Those words… they reinforced her image as a protector and cast Aries as the sole villain in the eyes of the most vulnerable Merin.
Merin, helpless and with nowhere to turn, couldn't think or reason anymore. She threw her arms around Lisena, hugging her tightly, sobbing in the embrace that had once betrayed her. The embrace that now… had become her only refuge.
Lisena smiled quietly as she gently stroked Merin’s wet hair.
She had successfully lured the fledgling bird that tried to escape the cage back to its roost… and this time… she would never let it slip through her fingers again.

Alpha's Cage Special Chapter 3: The Game of Submission
One quiet evening, after a long and tiring week of work, the atmosphere in the penthouse seemed a bit quiet and dull. To change the mood and add some spice to a love life that seemed to be settling into a routine, Seren, the embodiment of passion and challenge, proposed an exciting and dangerous game.“Tonight… let’s play a game,” she announced in the middle of the living room where everyone was relaxing, a sly and scheming smile on her face.“What kind of game this time?” Kieran asked, not paying much attention, but her eyes held a small spark of interest.“It’s ‘The Game of Submission,’” Seren explained, pulling a luxurious-looking deck of poker cards from the center table drawer. “The rules are simple… we’ll play poker. Whoever loses each round will have to obey one command from the winner… and that command… can be anything.”Seren’s proposal instantly changed the atmosphere in the room. The earlier quietness was replaced by a simmering tension and expectation.“Sounds fun,” Kline

The engine of the private jet hummed softly as it gradually descended toward a private paradise island, hidden in the middle of the vast Andaman Sea. Below was a vision of turquoise water as clear as crystal, fine white sand beaches that stretched out like powder, and a lush green forest that covered the entire island. It was a scene as beautiful as if it had come straight from a postcard, and the most perfect place to escape the chaos of the outside world.For a full week, the four of them had left everything behind—the hectic work and the watchful eyes of society—to spend private time together in a luxurious villa perched on a cliff with a panoramic view of the sea.
