My Alpha's Wild Obsession

Lina's POV"Father, let me work even if it's over time just to save Ethan," I cried out, my voice shaking, my hands trembling, and my heart aching like someone was pressing it too hard.Tears rolled down my cheeks like heavy rain pouring from the sky. I didn’t care to wipe them. I couldn’t. My chest hurt so much I could barely breathe. I dropped down to my knees beside Ethan. He was lying still on that old torn cushion in our small living room, the same one we used to play on when we were kids. But today, it felt like a bed of pain.His face was pale, his lips were dry, and his small chest rose and fell so slowly like it could stop at any time. I touched his hand, praying it would be warm, praying it would give me hope. But it was cold. Ice cold."Father please," I begged again. My voice cracked and broke like my heart. I turned to look at my father.He just stood there. He didn’t move. He didn’t say a word. His hands were clenched into fists by his side. His eyes looked far away like

My mouth was still wide open. I did not even care about the man’s harsh voice anymore. I could not hear anything else except the loud pounding of my own heartbeat in my ears. My eyes were stuck on that tall, golden gate. It was opening by itself, and there was no one there. No guard. No button. Nothing. Just slow movement. The gold bars glided apart like something invisible was controlling it from somewhere far. Maybe a camera. Maybe a remote. Or maybe something else. Something worse.My heart beat faster. I was frozen.My mouth stayed open like a fool. I could not shut it. I tried, but it stayed like that. That was how shocked I was. My body refused to listen to me.What kind of place is this?I darted my eyes to the left, then to the right, trying to get a full look at the compound as the limousine rolled forward slowly. My head kept turning, my eyes chasing shadows and walls. Everything inside was strange. Strange and quiet. Too quiet. It looked like a world that never saw sunlight

"I came with this bag, so I had to guard it properly because you were lurking in the dark before," I said, my voice shaking even though I didn’t want it to, clutching the old, beaten leather bag tighter against my chest like it was some kind of shield made of magic, like it could protect me from whatever or whoever he was. I hated that my voice trembled. I hated that my knees felt like soft jelly under my weight. I hated that I could barely breathe in the thick air of that long, narrow hallway, where the walls felt like they were leaning in, like they were watching me too.I wanted to sound brave, truly I did. I wanted to stand tall the way my mother had taught me before she died, telling me to never bow my head even if the ground was shaking, even if monsters were real. But the truth was, I couldn’t do it anymore.The words came out shaky, fragile, like a string about to snap, and my arms felt frozen stiff, like they were carved from ice, thin cold sticks of fear wrapped in skin that

Lina turned helplessly, staring at the small cupped room given to her. Tomorrow will be a great day indeed! Lina thought within herself. She scoffed the moment the thought crossed her mind. Who was she fooling? Herself, maybe. Because there was nothing great about tomorrow, not when the owner of this house enjoyed living in the shadows like a bat that feared the sun.She hissed, thinking back at what Igor had said earlier. "Tomorrow will be a great day." His voice echoed in her mind. A great day for who exactly? For the ones who enjoyed scaring people half to death? For the guards that never smiled, always standing still like statues with eyes that followed her every step? She shivered at the memory.Lina hadn’t come here to find peace. She came because she needed money. Ethan needed money. Her little brother, so frail and pale, stuck to that roughed-worn-out cushion with wires around him like he was some kind of machine. They couldn't afford the hospital bills any longer. And her fat

"This is how I wanted it! You don’t give me orders!"Alpha Kade’s voice rang out like thunder as he slammed his wine glass down on the table. The glass shattered instantly, the sound sharp and loud in the giant hall. Wine sprayed across the table, dark red and thick, like blood pooling on polished wood. The pieces of glass sparkle everywhere, tiny shards flying in all directions.Jamil flinched. Jamil is one of his trusted friends with wealth, his trusted wolf His hand lifted halfway, like he was about to block something—even though nothing hit him. But he didn’t step back. He stood still, his face tense. His usual calm and sharp eyes were filled with a mix of fear and stubbornness.“I’m not ordering you, Alpha Kade,” Jamil said quietly. His voice was steady, but there was a hint of a tremble underneath. “I’m just saying… this isn’t right. It’s not how things should be done. This isn't how we planned it all along”Before he could say more, Kade cut him off. But not with a shout. His v
