Zara's POV

I quickly threw on my clothes, my hands still shaky from the interrupted moment, while Ike waited patiently by the door. We left the room together, stepping into the hallway, the tension from our unfinished encounter mixing with the annoyance bubbling inside me.

"I wonder what this is about now," I said, my voice laced with irritation. "I wish we could send her back or something."

"For now, we can't," Ike replied, his tone calm but firm, like he was trying to steady us both. "But onc

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   177: Trust me

    Zara's POV Sleep never truly came.Not for me anyway.Even after returning from the forest, after the horses were stabled and the servants retreated for the night, my mind refused to quiet down.So I sat there instead.Watching Kali sleep.The room was dim except for the faint glow of moonlight spilling through the curtains. Shadows stretched softly across the floor while the fire in the hearth crackled low and quiet.Kali hadn’t moved much since falling asleep again.She looked peaceful now.Celine had already gone home by the time I returned from the forest with Ike. Honestly, I still wasn’t sure whether that relieved me or made me more anxious.Because now all the questions sat heavily inside my chest with nowhere to go.What really happened in that forest?How did fire appear around Kali?And why did it feel like every answer only made things worse?I rubbed tiredly at my face and glanced toward Kali again.Still asleep.I didn’t want to wake her.But goddess, I needed answers be

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   176: Ring of fire

    Zara's POV My eyes widened in shock. Inside the room, Celine’s voice dropped lower, with a hint of urgency or maybe it was fear. It was too hard to tell over my racing heart. “You started the fire, Kali.” Celine repeated. For a second, my brain simply stopped working. Fire? What fire? And why in goddess’s name would Kali start one? I pressed my ear harder against the door, my pulse suddenly roaring loudly in my ears. Inside, there was rustling from the bed before Kali spoke weakly. “I didn’t do anything,” she whispered. “The fire just appeared.” A chill raced down my spine. “Yeah,” Celine replied immediately. “Because of you." She sighed. "Listen, I'm not exactly sure what happened out there, I just know, one moment a ring of fire appeared around you and the moment you fainted, the fire disappeared.” Silence followed. My heart began racing wildly as my mind screamed one thing over and over again.A ring of fire? I struggled to breathe quietly as I kept listening. Th

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   175: You started the fire

    Zara's POV My heart nearly stopped the moment I saw Kali in Celine’s arms. “Kali!” I rushed across the room immediately, panic surging through me as I grabbed hold of her shoulders. Celine hesitated. Just for a second. Her grip tightened protectively around Kali before she finally loosened her hold enough for me to take her. That alone made alarm bells ring in my head. “Kali,” I said quickly, brushing damp strands of hair away from her face. Her skin was warm. A little too warm. But at least she was conscious now. Barely. Her eyelids fluttered weakly before she whispered my name so softly it almost broke my heart. “Zara…” Relief flooded me instantly. “I’m right here,” I murmured gently. Carefully, I guided her back toward the bed and lowered her onto the mattress. Kali winced faintly as her head touched the pillow, exhaustion written all over her face. She looked terrible. Like something had drained the life straight out of her. Once she settled back against the bl

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   174: Kidnapping

    Celine's POV My heart nearly burst straight through my ribs.“Ike—”The rest of the words died in my throat.Because Ike wasn’t just standing there casually.He looked furious.Not loud furious like Emmett.Worse.Controlled furious.His broad shoulders filled the doorway completely as his sharp eyes moved from me… to the unconscious Kali in my arms… then back to me again.The silence stretched painfully.I swallowed hard.Think, Celine. Think.“I can explain,” I blurted quickly.“I’m waiting,” Ike said flatly.Panic clawed violently at my chest.Kali shifted weakly in my arms with a faint groan, and instinctively I tightened my hold on her.“She needs to leave,” I said desperately. “Please.”Ike’s brows furrowed slightly.“She’s not safe here.”That made his expression darken immediately.“Not safe?” he repeated slowly.I nodded quickly. “Kali isn’t happy here. Everyone treats her terribly. Kora openly hates her, Emmett terrifies her, and now whatever happened in the forest…” My voi

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   173: Attempted

    Celine's POV I had to get Kali out of this house.Tonight.The thought repeated itself over and over in my head as I stayed hidden beside the cabinet, listening carefully to the silence stretching through the hallway.No footsteps.No voices.Good.Slowly, I stepped away from the wall.My pulse still raced hard beneath my ribs, but now fear had tangled itself together with determination. I didn’t fully know what was happening to Kali. I didn’t understand the fire, the shield, or the terrifying amount of energy Lilith sensed inside her.But I knew one thing.If Emmett discovered the truth before we did, everything would become dangerous.Maybe it already was.I glanced once more toward Kali’s room before carefully making my way back down the hallway.The door remained cracked open.Warm golden light spilled softly across the floorboards.I hesitated outside for half a second.Then slipped inside.The room smelled faintly of herbs and smoke now, probably from whatever Lilith used durin

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   172: Shield

    Celine's POV Fear still clung to me like damp cloth as I made my way back toward the house. Every instinct screamed that this was a terrible idea. Emmett had ordered me to leave. And judging by the look in his eyes back in the forest, disobeying him today felt about as smart as jumping into a wolf pit wearing raw meat. Still… My feet kept moving. Because Kali was in there. Unconscious. And no matter how frightened I was of Emmett, the thought of leaving Kali alone with him felt worse somehow. Also, I couldn't risk her telling Emmett the truth. I slowed as thehouse came into view through the trees, its tall windows shimmering under the afternoon light. The entire place looked too calm compared to the chaos twisting inside my chest. I lingered near the edge of the shadows for several minutes, making sure Emmett hadn’t doubled back outside. He hadn't. Just distant voices drifting faintly from somewhere deeper inside the house. Finally, I exhaled slowly and slipped toward t

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   86: The blood of the shadow wolf

    Zara's POV I slammed my fist repeatedly on the wheels of my car as more tears raced down my cheeks. This all sounded so unreal. Ike had sunflower fever. A fever that there was absolutely no cure for. If he had told me earlier, maybe... maybe we would have found a cure by now. Even if we h

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   85: Sunflower fever

    Zara's POV My heart stopped. I just stared at him, with my brain struggling to process what he had just said. Or maybe it just didn't want to process it. "What do you mean, you're dying?" My voice was low and almost in audible. "Just leave Zara." He plopped down on the side of the bed, propp

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   84: Wet towel

    Zara's POV I took a sip of my tea, tapping my leg nervously against the floor. The Shadow council were a bunch of stuck up, power thirsty men looking for an opportunity to snatch the power from Emmett. They greedy bastards were quick to forget how he had risked his life to build this new cl

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   83: Eventually.

    Kali's POV Today was the day Emmett would present me to the council as the Luna of Shadow Clan. My stomach had been twisted into knots since sunrise, but now— now it felt like it had completely caved in on itself. My heart hammered wildly as a group of women I had never seen before swarmed aro
