Kali's POV

The entire drive to the cabin felt strange.

Not bad strange.

Dangerous strange.

I sat in the passenger seat staring out the window while towering pine trees blurred past us. The sky was painted with streaks of gold and orange as the sun began to set, turning the world outside into something that belonged in a dream.

Or maybe a nightmare.

Because Emmett was being nice.

Suspiciously nice.

The Alpha drove with one hand on the steering wheel while the other rested lazily against

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   205: Misery loves company

    Zara's POV I stood in front of the full-length dressing mirror, my reflection staring back at me with wide, uncertain eyes. Suzie hummed softly behind me as she carefully tucked delicate white flowers into my wild red curls. My heart was racing so hard I could feel it pounding in my throat, each beat a painful reminder that this moment was real. I was about to mate with Isaac. Today. In front of his entire family and our closest friends at the beautiful woodland cabin they had prepared.*Am I doing the right thing?* The question looped endlessly in my mind. Images of Ike flashed through my head uninvited — his pained eyes, the heat of his body against mine, the way he had looked at me like I was his entire world even as he lay dying. Guilt twisted like a knife in my stomach. But I pushed it down, forcing myself to breathe. This was best. A fresh start with the best man I had ever known. Isaac was stable, kind, and he loved me without complications. He offered safety, a future, a life

    I couldn’t believe we had actually come to the cabin. The drive through the dense forest had been tense, filled with Emmett’s brooding silence and stolen glances that made my thighs press together. Now, hours after arriving, the others had gone to scout the perimeter, leaving us alone in the large wooden lodge nestled deep in the pines. The full moon was rising again, silver light pouring through the tall windows and across the fur rugs on the floor.I stood by the fireplace, pretending to warm my hands, when I felt him behind me. His presence was like heat itself—radiating, consuming. Before I could turn, his arms caged me against the stone mantel, his hard body pressing flush to my back.“You’ve been avoiding being alone with me since we left,” he growled low in my ear, lips brushing the shell. One large hand slid down my stomach, pulling my ass back against the thick ridge of his erection. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”My breath hitched. “I just… needed air.”“Liar.” His other

    I wandered through the dimly lit east wing corridors after midnight, unable to sleep again. The magnetic pull that always seemed to lead me back to Emmett had grown stronger since the night I first unlocked his door. My bare feet were silent on the cold stone as I approached the massive arched doors of the ancient library. I knew he was in there. I could feel it.The heavy doors creaked open. Moonlight streamed through tall stained-glass windows, casting colored patterns across thousands of leather-bound books and the long oak tables. Emmett stood near the center, his back to me, one hand braced on a tall bookshelf. The moment I stepped inside, he stiffened.“Kali.” His voice was rough, already edged with that dangerous hunger. He turned slowly, crimson eyes glowing in the low light. “You shouldn’t be here.”“I couldn’t stay away,” I whispered.He crossed the distance in seconds, slamming the doors shut behind me with a wave of his hand. Before I could say anything else, he pinned me

    Emmett's POVI pushed open the door to my chambers and immediately knew something was off.The room was dim, lit only by the orange glow of the setting sun filtering through the curtains. Everything looked normal at first glance.The desk.The fireplace.The chair near the window.Then my eyes landed on the bed.Someone was lying in it.My pulse jumped before I could stop it.Kali.For one ridiculous second, that was where my mind went.Not because she belonged there.Not because she would ever willingly climb into my bed.But because somehow, lately, every strange thing in my life seemed to circle back to her.I sighed.The girl was becoming a problem.A very confusing problem.The figure shifted beneath the blankets.Long dark hair spilled across the pillow.My steps slowed.Wait.Dark hair.Not silver.A cold feeling settled in my stomach.I crossed the room quickly and yanked the blanket down."Kora?"She looked up at me with watery eyes.Relief flooded her face."Emmett."My jaw

    Kali's POV KaliThe fire had burned lower by the time I opened my eyes.For a moment, I didn't remember where I was.The crackle of wood. The scent of pine. The heavy weight wrapped around my waist.Then everything came rushing back.The cabin.The trip.Emmett.I shifted slightly and immediately felt his arm tighten around me."Don't," he muttered.I blinked, looking over my shoulder.His eyes were still closed."You were awake?""No." His voice was rough with sleep. "But I knew you were trying to escape."A reluctant smile tugged at my lips."I wasn't.""Liar."There was no heat in the accusation.Only exhaustion.For once, the fierce Alpha who spent every waking moment growling orders and intimidating everyone around him seemed almost... human.His dark hair was messy.A faint scar crossed his cheek.And despite how impossible it sounded, he looked peaceful.I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen him like this.Maybe I never had.Carefully, I untangled myself from his arms and

    Kali's POV My heart was racing inside my chest and my skin suddenly felt too sensitive.Too sensitive to Aiden's touch. I managed to wiggle myself out of his hold, that was already loosening around my waist, and turned to look at him. "You're my mate."Aiden didn't even sound so sure. His expres
