4. The Pull
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-07-31 14:19:47Kaela’s boots crunched over the frozen ground, the leaves brittle and sharp underfoot — like bones breaking in the silence. Somewhere behind her, the summit fire still burned, but it felt a world away.
No warmth reached her. Not where it mattered.
Not where her hand still burned.
Ronan’s touch had branded her.
It wasn’t just heat. It was a pull. Like her blood had shifted course, like her bones had turned magnetic.
Mate.
She didn’t want that word.
Didn’t want the way it echoed in her every heartbeat.
Back in Frostclaw territory, the cold got worse. Her Alpha didn’t speak to her. Her mother barely met her eyes. And the pack?
They whispered.
“She stood when she wasn’t supposed to.”
“Something happened — I felt it.”
Kaela just kept her head down. She ran herself raw in training. Hunted longer than she needed to. Shifted under the moon when no one was watching, hoping the wind would strip him from her mind.
It didn’t work.
Her wolf shimmered brighter every time — her white fur almost glowing now. Drawing attention she didn’t want.
But she couldn’t stop seeing him. Couldn’t stop hearing him.
And the dreams? They were worse than ever.
Ronan kissed her like he had a right to her. Touched her like he’d earned her. In the dreams, she let him. She wanted him.
And waking up made it worse.
Flushed. Breathless. Furious with herself.
She hated him for being in her head.
Two weeks passed. Then came the full moon. And orders.
“Patrol to the northern ridge. You’re going.”
Fine. Good.
She needed to hit something. Rip into something. Maybe bleed a little.
But the rogues didn’t wait.
They came just after twilight. Starving, wild-eyed things with blood on their muzzles and madness in their bones.
Kaela didn’t get time to think. She shifted mid-run, bones snapping, fur breaking through skin — silver and sharp beneath the moon.
And they saw her.
Not just a threat.
A prize.
Rare. Unclaimed. Powerful.
They came for her.
She took down the first. Slammed him into a tree so hard bark rained down like ash. But there were more. Too many.
She was fast. But not that fast.
Another rogue launched from above. She turned — too late.
Then—
Black. Fast. Violent.
The rogue slammed sideways midair, bones cracking, blood flying.
Kaela hit the ground, chest heaving, ribs screaming.
And then she saw him.
Massive. Black fur. Eyes like gold set on fire.
Ronan.
He didn’t speak. Just stood between her and the rogues like the forest itself would obey him.
One growl from his chest — and the trees shuddered.
Then he moved.
He was brutal. Efficient. Death in motion.
Blood sprayed. Flesh tore. The screams didn’t last long.
When it ended, Ronan turned toward her — already shifting, black fur receding, body reshaping into muscle and skin.
He knelt. Fingers brushing her side where blood welled.
“You’re hurt.”
“You followed me?” she asked, dazed.
He didn’t answer. Just looked at the wound like it had personally offended him.
“They weren’t after your team,” he said. Voice low. Controlled. “They were after you.”
“Because I’m rare?”
“No.” He met her eyes. “Because you’re mine.”
Kaela froze. “Don’t.”
“You felt it.”
“I didn’t want to.”
“Neither did I.” His voice cracked, just slightly. No games. Just truth.
He lifted her hand again — that spot. Where it started.
And this time, it lit.
A golden flare. Real. Seen. Felt.
Kaela gasped.
Ronan leaned closer, his voice barely a breath between them. “The bond’s awake. You can’t run from it anymore.”
She didn’t answer right away. Her breath shook.
“What do we do?”
He didn’t smile.
“We survive it.”
They sat there in the moss and blood and silence, everything too loud inside her skin.
The others arrived soon — warriors dragging rogue bodies. They saw him. Ronan. The Alpha of Shadowfang.
No one spoke.
They didn’t need to.
He wasn’t here to start a fight.
He was here for her.
And that scared her more than all the rogues combined.
Later that night, Kaela returned to Frostclaw.
She didn’t sleep.
Not from pain. Not from fear.
But because every time she closed her eyes...
She still felt his hands on her.
And the worst part?
She wasn’t sure she wanted to forget.

Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 78. Cracks in the Silence
The day dragged itself across the sky like something wounded. The camp moved, but slower, less alive. Every sound seemed sharp—leather creaking, steel on stone, the snap of firewood. Too sharp. Too loud.Nobody was laughing. Nobody even breathed easy.Kaela sat at the edge of the fire pit with a whetstone in hand, dragging it down the blade of her dagger again and again. Not because it needed it—it was already sharp enough to split hair—but because she needed something for her hands. Something other than tearing her own skin apart with restless nails.Across the fire, Dax barked orders, voice clipped, no bite of humor. Lira was silent too, which was stranger. Everyone was. Their eyes lingered too long, their nostrils flared too wide when she passed. Wolves noticed everything. Wolves smelled everything.And right now, Kaela swore the whole camp smelled her.The weight of it pressed against her ribs until she couldn’t breathe. She shot to her feet suddenly, blade half-forgotten in her h
Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 77. Smoke in the Den
Dawn bled slow across the sky, gray and thin, dragging the night’s smoke with it. The fire in the center of camp had guttered down to glowing coals, but the air still stank of ash and sweat and nerves stretched too tight. Wolves moved in jerks, restless, shoulders stiff, eyes always darting to the treeline as if something might still be waiting there.No one had really slept.Kaela hadn’t even tried. Her back was sore from leaning against a tree most of the night, her blades laid across her lap. Her hair stuck to her temples in damp strands, and her shirt clung to her skin, heavy with sweat that wasn’t all from the fire. Her body still thrummed like the night hadn’t ended, like Ronan’s hands were still bruised into her hips, his teeth still ghosting over her skin.And that was the worst part—every time she shifted, the scent rose from her own body, unmistakable. Him. Her wolf didn’t bother hiding the satisfaction, stretching, purring at the memory. But Kaela’s human chest locked tight
Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 76. No Time to Breathe
Kaela’s body was still trembling, every nerve raw and overstimulated, her chest pressed against Ronan’s. His heartbeat thundered beneath her ear, uneven, too wild to be steady. The heat of him still clung to her skin, and for one suspended moment it was as if the entire forest, the entire cursed world, had fallen silent just for them.Her fingers were curled into his shoulder, nails biting his skin like she didn’t quite trust him not to vanish if she let go. His breath ghosted hot against her temple, ragged and shaky, as though he too hadn’t expected this to actually break loose between them.She wanted to stay here. Just a little longer. Wrapped in him, against him, drowning in the way he finally—finally—had let himself come undone.But then—Snap.A twig, sharp and deliberate, breaking the illusion.Ronan froze. His body went stone-hard beneath her, every muscle tensing like steel wires pulled taut.Kaela’s heart lurched, a new rush of adrenaline spiking through her veins. She slid
Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 75. Consumed
The air between them was already on fire before his mouth even touched hers. Kaela could taste the danger on his breath, feel the way his control trembled like a cracked dam about to break.Ronan slammed her back into the tree, not gentle, not careful. His body pinned hers so completely she couldn’t move except against him—and gods, she wanted to. She wanted to fight him, claw him, take him apart and have him take her apart in return.The first kiss was brutal. Teeth, tongue, heat. He devoured her like he’d been starving for years, and she gave back the same hunger, biting his lower lip until she tasted the sharp tang of blood.He groaned into her mouth, and it sent a shiver down her spine, made her hips jerk against his without thought. That low sound was her undoing.Her hands clawed at his shirt, pulling, tearing, until fabric ripped and buttons scattered into the dirt. His chest was hot against her palms, hard muscle under sweat-slick skin. She dragged her nails across him, leavin
Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 74. The Breaking Point
The forest didn’t go quiet when the thing vanished. It pulsed. It throbbed with a silence that wasn’t silence at all, just the absence of what should be there. The wind didn’t stir the leaves. The crickets didn’t dare chirp. Even the pack members, scattered through camp, seemed to hold their breath.Kaela could feel it crawling under her skin. Her wolf paced, hackles up, claws pressing just beneath her fingernails. Too much. Too close.Ronan didn’t look at her when they broke away from the treeline. His shoulders were tight, every muscle strung too high, too sharp. His arm was bleeding where the thing had grazed him, but he didn’t so much as flinch. He walked like a man carrying weight that could crush him, and Kaela hated it.“Ronan.” Her voice cut the dark.He kept walking.Her patience cracked. She grabbed his wrist, jerking him back. “You’re bleeding.”“It’ll heal.” His voice was rough, detached, like gravel shoved down her throat.“You can’t just—” She stepped in front of him, eye
Claimed by the Enemy Alpha 73. Interrupted
The clearing was too quiet after the fight. Too heavy. The echo of their almost-kiss still hung in Kaela’s chest, burning hotter than any wound could. She could still feel the press of Ronan’s mouth against hers, the heat of his hand at her waist, the raw hunger he hadn’t even tried to hide. Her wolf prowled under her skin, restless, begging her to go back to him, to push harder, to finally take what was theirs.But then the scream tore the night in half.It came from the west—high, raw, short-lived, like a sound cut off by something sharp. The air itself seemed to choke on it.Ronan’s head jerked up. His whole body snapped into readiness, wolf bright in his eyes. “West ridge.”He didn’t even look back before sprinting into the trees.Kaela didn’t hesitate. She was on his heels instantly, knives in both fists, heart hammering with something sharper than lust now—fear. Dax’s voice called somewhere behind them, but she didn’t stop, didn’t slow. Lira’s footsteps joined them a beat later.
