Semua Bab Trapped In The Alpha's Shadow: Bab 81 - Bab 90

RandyMarvin’s tears flowed freely, his face a mask of despair. He knew—knew deeply—that he was in immeasurable trouble with me.He had violated our agreement, shattered what little trust I had given him, and, worst of all, placed a target squarely on Adasha’s back.If she hadn’t run away, none of this would have unraveled. I wouldn’t have needed to arrest Jason, wouldn’t have discovered the full extent of their treachery.These two were evil—loyal to no one but their own selfish interests. Adasha was no longer theirs.They had sold her to me years ago, and now they had tried to sell her again.They weren’t just failures—they were scum. Fraudsters. Betrayers.There was no excuse for what they had done.I shifted my gaze to Lois, who was trembling as she cried, and motioned for her to continue. I needed every piece of information before I decided how to act."Jason tried to get Marvin to tell him who the person was," Lois said, her voice shaking as she spoke. "But Marvin refused. He sai

Adasha Kai’s eyes locked onto mine, unwavering and intense, as he gently brushed my cheek with his thumb. The touch was soft, almost reverent, but it carried a weight that made my heart ache. “You worry too much, Adasha,” he said, his voice steady, soothing. His gaze didn’t waver, as if he were trying to reach the deepest part of me, the part that was still scared, still unsure. “You need to learn to trust.” I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat threatening to choke me. “I know you’ve been through so much,” he continued, his tone softening even further. “But not this. I’m not Randy, Adasha, and I never will be. I don’t aspire to be like him. What we have… it’s rare. Scarce. Ordained.” He let the words settle between us, his hand never leaving my face. “I’d be a fool to throw it away—or let anyone take it from me.” His eyes darkened, a fire kindling in their depths. “I’ll find a way to make this work, I promise. And I won’t have a Luna other than you, Adasha.” His words we

AdashaThe room was deathly silent, but Laura wasn’t done. Her voice sliced through the tension like a jagged blade, oblivious to the storm brewing in front of her.I could feel Kai’s rage, simmering and raw, and I wondered how he would handle this. Laura, blind to the signs, pressed on, her words brimming with fury and indignation.“You brought this upon yourself,” she said, her voice trembling with both anger and unshed tears. “By the time I’m through with the Easterners in the South, you’ll regret what you’ve done to my people—simply because they refused to serve your whore.”The venom in her tone stung, but the room was charged with something far more dangerous. Kai was vibrating with fury, his jaw tight, his entire frame coiled like a predator about to strike.The foolishness of Laura’s inability to recognise the line she had crossed was staggering.“Darius,” Kai said suddenly, his voice so cold and calm that it sent a shiver down my spine. “Did you get that last part?”“Yes, Alp

KaiIngrid had pushed every limit of my patience, and I intended to ensure she understood the consequences.Locking Laura in a cell wasn’t just necessary—it was essential. She had to learn her place, to understand that her words had power, and that power could burn her if wielded recklessly.I couldn’t allow such blatant defiance to go unchecked, not now, not ever.After breakfast, I retreated to my office, a sanctuary of order amidst the chaos of recent events.The heavy oak door closed behind me with a familiar creak, but the weight in my chest didn’t lift.Outside, Adasha decided to explore the town with Mirabel. She had an effortless grace in how she moved through this world, an almost otherworldly quality that often made me question whether she was a blessing or a test.Still, Rivercreek settlers in Eldenberge had received my message loud and clear. Adasha’s presence would be respected—marked or not.Even so, I couldn’t ignore the risk.Old prejudices ran deep, like roots buried

Kai“I need to know about your past,” I said firmly, my tone leaving no room for hesitation. “I need every detail you can give me because the Twelve won’t let this go easily. If I’m going to protect you, I have to find a way to prove you’re not a threat—at least, not to the rest of them.”I let that sink in, watching her closely. May’s expression tightened, her nervousness clear, but I saw something else too—determination. She was ready to tell me.The truth was harsh, and I wouldn’t pretend otherwise. Laura’s actions had thrown May’s life into turmoil, exposing her secret to those who would see it as a death sentence.Whether or not I cared about the Moonchild bloodline was irrelevant.The reality was that other ruling families did, and for them, eradicating the bloodline wasn’t just a goal—it was an obsession.None of the Moonchild descendants so far had demonstrated the legendary abilities that haunted the Twelve’s nightmares, but that didn’t matter.Fear drove them, and fear was a
