Kali's POV

I was weak.

I always have been.

I could not go about trying to pretend to be what I wasn’t. And I know, for a fact, I wasn’t strong. I was wolfless for crying out loud and that just sums it up.

I wasn’t looking for pity. I did not need Vero’s or anyone else’s pity. I just wanted to not be treated like a freak. To not have to walk around with my hair covered and to not be forced into mating with a mad alpha.

I spun around and bumped into a wall of muscles, the scent of cedar wood and oud filling my lungs almost immediately.

A strong pair of hand held my shoulders, steadying me.

I didn’t need to look up to know exactly who it was. The burning sensation at my side said it all.

“Kali.”

This voice vibrated through my body making me shudder. Slowly, I raised my gaze to meet his dark eyes. They haven’t turned red since he lost his memory, which was a good thing.

Or maybe it had something to do with the scent blocker Lilith had given me.

I wasn’t sure. But it was nice not to be ter

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   112: Goodbye hope

    Zara's POV "I am not leaving!" Ike glanced up at me, a deadpanned look on his face. "We have to leave. For now." "I am not running away and leaving Ko... Kali here with these snakes! Who knows what they would do to here!" "We are not running away. We will definitely come back for her, but right now, I need to make sure you return to Shadow clan in one piece. If I start anything here, you could get hurt. And I am only one man. I need our army, I need Aiden. And most importantly, we need a plan." He sighed, then placed both hands on my shoulder. "I know you want to save her, but it would be foolish of us to do anything that might get you hurt or even Kora. Besides, Maduro has the most of the other clans behind him. We need to think our next plan throughout." But I could not be convinced. Not with the guilt gnawing at me. It was my fault Kali came here. If I hadn't insisted.... I shrugged his hands off. "Then you go. Come up with whatever ever plan you want, then come back

    Kali's POV I wish I could disappear. Go back to Aiden's warm cottage and listen to Cecil. I wish I were Cecil. She was brave and fearless. She was brave enough to burn down the house that caused her so much pain. I wish I could do the same. Burn this house down along with the people that ever causes me harm. I sat stiffly in my seat, my spine straight, my hands folded in my lap like they belonged to someone else. Someone calmer. Someone braver. My heart was pounding so loudly I was sure everyone at the table could hear it, could see the fear leaking out of me through every shallow breath.I wished I was brave enough.But I wasn’t Cecil.I wasn’t Zara.I was just Kali.Helpless, shaking, small.A bitter chuckle slipped out of me before I could stop it. It sounded wrong in the quiet dining room. Every head at the table turned toward me.The sound of cutlery stilled. The air tightened.Maduro’s eyes settled on me, dark and curious, like I was an insect he had just noticed crawli

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   110: The real daughter

    Zara's POV "Are you crazy?" The words left my lips before I even had the time to stop it I whipped my head around, staring at Ike and waiting fo him to back me up. Ike's face darkened, his hands clenched into fists on top of the table. My head spun back at Maduro. "No! We came here with Kora and we will leave here with her!"My heart began thudding painfully inside my chest. If I could, I would crawl over the table and punch that smug smile off Maduro's ugly face. Maduro wiped his lips with a napkin. "Here I am, trying to do you people a favor by taking her off your hands and here you are trying to make a hassle.""We don't need your favour," my eyes darted over to Kora, her head was bowed and both her hands tucked between her thighs, "and we love her just the way she is."Her head snapped up and she stared at me. But he's eyes showed no emotion other than fear. "We hand a deal. You give us Kora in exchange for our help," Ike's voice was a low angry growl. I can't even i

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   109: Dinner

    Zara's POV The door to the sitting room fell open and we walked in. Maduro's face lit up in a wide smile. "I am so glad you could make it for dinner." Maduro sat at the head of the table, Hera sat at his right hand and Kora sat at his right, looking petrified even though she smiled at me. And beside Kora was the other Kora, the cute one like she called herself, she had a smug smile on her face, tapping at empty seat beside her. I glanced at Ike briefly, he had a frown on his face. "Come on, make yourself comfortable. Let's eat," Maduro continued. I took the empty seat beside Kora and Ike took the seat at the other end of the table. I pushed my food around my plate, lifting small bites to my mouth more out of obligation than hunger. The flavors barely registered. Everything tasted like tension, like the air before a storm breaks. Across the table, Ike hadn’t touched his food at all. His plate sat pristine, untouched, as if it were nothing more than decoration.Maduro notic

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   107: A different plan

    Zara's POV I rushed back down the corridor, my boots slapping against the polished floor, my pulse pounding far too loudly in my ears. I turned a corner too sharply and nearly collided with a solid wall of muscle.Ike.He caught me by both arms instantly, steadying me before I could even think of stumbling back. His brows drew together as he searched my face.“What’s wrong?” he asked, sharp and immediate.I swallowed and glanced over my shoulder, my eyes flicking down the corridor we’d just come from. For half a second, I was certain someone would be standing there, watching, listening. But the hallway remained empty, quiet in that unnerving Redpeak way.“Let’s go back inside,” I said quickly. “Please.”That was all it took.Ike didn’t argue. He turned, opened the door behind him, and ushered me inside before closing it firmly. The click of the latch sounded too final, too loud in the silence that followed.He stepped back, folding his arms over his chest, his posture guarded now. “

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   107: Bugs

    Kora's PoV As soon as the door slammed shut. My smile fell. I do not like Zara one bit. She was smug and collected. Acting like she's better than me. She's not. No one could possibly be better than me. I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart. I can't get worked up over nothing. If Emmett is powerful enough to make my father worried, then it was only right that I take my place as Emmett's mate. It was supposed to be me after all. Kali did not have what it takes to be a Luna. She is weak, useless and completely wolfless. No wonder Emmett did not put a rush on mating her. I paused in front of my mirror, staring at the gorgeous woman stating back at me. "Hang in Emmett, your true Luna is coming," I whispered, the corner of my lips lifting in a small smile. A small knock came on the door. "Come in," I said, plopping into my chair. I grabbed a comb and began fixing my dark waves. "Is she gone?" Enzo's voice boomed from the door way. "She is."I heard the door shu
