Zara's POV

I walked into Emmett’s office and dropped the invitation card dramatically onto his desk.

The sharp sound echoed through the quiet room.

Emmett looked up from whatever paperwork he had been reading, confusion flickering across his face. His dark brows pulled together slightly as his gaze moved from the card to me.

    Zara's POV I walked into Emmett’s office and dropped the invitation card dramatically onto his desk. The sharp sound echoed through the quiet room. Emmett looked up from whatever paperwork he had been reading, confusion flickering across his face. His dark brows pulled together slightly as his gaze moved from the card to me. “What’s this?” the asked. I released a shaky breath and sat down before my legs decided to give out beneath me. My fingers had been trembling ever since the invitations were delivered to my house this morning. “An invitation to my mating ceremony,” I announced. Even to my own ears, my voice sounded strange. I couldn't even bring myself to pretend to. be happy about this. I avoided looking directly at him as I added, “It is happening this weekend.” Emmett arched a brow slowly. “This weekend?” I nodded. “What’s the rush?” he asked, picking up one of the cards. I let out a humorless laugh and leaned back into the chair, folding my arms tightly across my

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   183: Gray eyes

    Kali’s POV Hot. That was the first thing I felt The burning heat wrapped around me so violently it felt like I had been thrown into the center of a furnace. My skin prickled as sweat coated my body instantly. I tossed restlessly beneath the covers, breathing harder with every passing second. But something felt wrong. This wasn’t my bed. The surface beneath me felt uneven and rough against my back. Twigs snapped softly beneath my movement. Dry leaves scratched against my skin. My heart stuttered. No. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Fire. Towering flames surrounded me again. Orange and gold twisted violently toward the night sky, roaring loud enough to shake the forest around me. Heat crashed into my body in suffocating waves. I was back there. Back in the forest. But how? Panic slammed into my chest instantly. My breathing turned sharp and ragged as I scrambled backward across the ground, my hands digging desperately into dirt and dead leaves. The flames moved wildly around

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   182: Magical finger print

    Emmett’s POVI stood with my arms folded tightly over my chest, rubbing the back of my neck as Lilith moved slowly around the second burn site.The old woman crouched carefully near the blackened symbols carved into the dirt, muttering faintly beneath her breath while her fingers hovered over the ash without fully touching it.The forest had gone strangely quiet around us.There were no hovering birds or chirping insects. Just unsettling silence and smoke drifting lazily through the trees and the occasional crackle from dying embers hidden beneath the earth.I didn’t like it.And I still couldn't feel Dogo, which made it all the more unsettling.Ike stood nearby with his sword strapped across his back, watching Lilith with the same wary expression twisting across my own face.Finally, Lilith straightened slowly with a grimace and dusted ash from her hands.Then she shook her head.I frowned immediately.“What did you find?”Ike stepped closer too.Lilith glanced once toward the markin

    Emmett’s POV Kali flinched. A tiny movement. It was barely noticeable. But in the suffocating silence of the room, it felt loud enough to shake the walls. My eyes locked onto her instantly. And for one dangerous second, something dark stirred inside me. Did she flinch out of guilt? Or... Dogo snarled low in my head. 'Leave my mate alone.' I almost rolled my eyes at him. Kali’s breathing quickened under my stare. Her fingers curled tightly into the fabric of her dress as though she was physically trying to hold herself together. Lilith slowly turned toward her too. “Kali,” she said carefully. “Do you know something about this?” Kali immediately shook her head, too quickly. “N-no. I didn't do anything." Kora made a weak sound from the bed, drawing attention back to herself again. "So it's supposed to be a coincidence that you were in the forest the same time that my energy was drained?" Tears welled up in Kora's eyes. "I always knew you were jealous of me, b

    Emmett's POV Kora hit the floor hard. “Kora!” I moved before thinking, catching her just before her head slammed fully against the ground. Her body felt frighteningly cold beneath my hands. Almost ice cold. The complete opposite of Kali yesterday. Something twisted uneasily in my chest. Behind me, Kali gasped softly from beside the window. I glanced up sharply. She looked terrified. Her wide dark eyes were locked onto Kora’s unconscious form, her face drained completely of color. “What the hell…” I muttered. Kora’s breathing came shallow and uneven as I lifted her carefully into my arms. She looked even worse up close. Dark shadows bruised the skin beneath her eyes. Her lips had lost their color entirely. Even the scent coming off her was wrong somehow. Weak. Like her wolf was struggling. “Kali,” I said sharply without looking at her. “Find Ike and tell him to get Lilith. Now." For a second she didn’t move. "Kali now!" I barked. Then she startled like she had snapp

    Emmett's POVSteel clashed sharply across the training field.Again.And again.The sound rang through the cool morning and the sound somehow made me feel grounded. I twisted sideways just as Ike’s sword came for my shoulder, the blade barely missing before I countered hard enough to force him back several steps across the dirt.Both of us were drenched in sweat already.Breathing hard.The early sun glinted across the blades while dust swirled around our boots from the force of each strike.Usually training cleared my head.Today it was doing the exact opposite. I still couldn't get the image of the burn mark in the forest off my mind. Our swords collided again with enough force to jar up my arm.“I think Kora has to go,” Ike said suddenly between breaths.I shoved his blade away before circling him slowly. “I agree.”That surprised him slightly.His brow lifted.“But,” I continued, “I can’t send her back until we figure out what’s happening here first.”Ike paused briefly, wiping

    Zara's POV Several hours later and I was still shuddering from relief. If Kora had had even a single drop of magic in her ,her life would have been turned upside down in less than a second. And there would have been nothing I could do to save her. Sure, it wasn't my job to save her. But Kora

    Emmett's POV "Fucking hell!" I raked my fingers through my hair. "I know," Ike said. "They will be here by noon." The moment Ike had walked through the door saying he wanted to see me, I knew immediately it was news that I wouldn't like to hear. I was right. "I had tried to postpone it

    Kali's POV If this was a trap, I most definitely wasn't going to fall for it. Zara reached out and took both my hands in hers. "I know Ike can be a bully. And he told me everything, so there is absolutely no need to pretend to be aloof. But if that is how you want to play it, it's completely fine
