Semua Bab Enslaved to the Mad Alpha: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Zara’s POV The morning light filtered through the half-drawn curtains, painting thin golden stripes across the bedspread. I sat at the vanity, trying to focus on my reflection as I brushed through my hair, but my thoughts were already elsewhere—on the way Isaac’s shoulders had stiffened when I mentioned tonight. He was standing by the wardrobe, buttoning his dark shirt, movements slow, deliberate. The faint smell of his cologne drifted through the air, familiar and grounding, yet somehow distant too. “What are you doing tonight?” I asked, setting the brush down and glancing at him through the mirror. “I thought maybe we could spend some time together.” He hesitated—barely a flicker, but I caught it. His fingers froze mid-button before he cleared his throat. “Uh… I’m working late.” His tone was too even, too rehearsed. “There’s a lot to finish up before tomorrow’s meeting. I might not be back till morning.” I turned slightly in my chair. “All night?” “Yeah,” he said, avoidi

Kali's POV I folded the last of my things — if they could even be called things — into a small canvas bag I’d borrowed from the storage tent. My hands shook slightly, though I told myself it was from exhaustion, not fear. The truth was harder to admit. My heart was hammering because this time, I was really going to do it. I was leaving.The satchel was pathetically light: a few clothes, a loaf of stale bread, my dagger, and the small pendant Ena gave me before I left home. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for someone who didn’t plan on looking back.Outside, the camp buzzed like a hive. The night air was thick with the scent of roasted meat and spiced wine, the glow of torches flickering against hundreds of laughing faces. Tonight was the mating moon ceremony — their biggest celebration of the year. Every wolf within miles had gathered here.And that made it the perfect time to disappear.I sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, forcing myself to breathe. If I timed it right, I co

Zara's POV My eyes snapped open. I wiggled out of his grip, shoving him so hard he started backwards, his eyes popping open in shock. "Zara what did I..." "What did you say?" His brows scrunched together in confusion, only for a split second. "That you're mine." I scoffed. He had to be stupid to even say something like this to me. They fuck am I supposed to do with this information? "You are very fucked up in the head Ike!" I screeched then whipped around. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, I tried to break free but he tightened his grip. "Let go, Ike!" "Zara..." "Let go!" tears welled up in my eyes, as my chest burned, burned with memories I never want to remember, dreams that I had to bury and hopes that I once had. He had shattered my heart without blinking an eye, breaking our mate bond like it was nothing. And now, he had the audacity to look me in the eye and tell me I was his? He let go, his face twisting with what looked like pain in his eyes.

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 expression was a mixture of confusion and relief and more confusion. "No. No it can't be." I whispered. It's not that I didn't want to be his mate. Aiden was beautiful and perfect and gentle and a member of Shadow clan. He could not possibly be my mate. I didn't see when he moved, but next thing I know, I was face pressed into his chest and his nose buried into the crook of my neck."You're my mate Kora," he growled, his voice firmer and more possessive. "I am Emmett's mate," I whispered weakly, the feel of his arms around me feeling more comforting that it should have.He broke away, staring briefly into my face, his shimmering blue staring into mine with such intensity that my knees wobbled

Kali's POV This was it. This was it. My life was officially over. The beast growled. Each growl vibrated through my ribs like a drumbeat from hell. I had never given much thought to how I would die. Well, actually, I have. But I had been so certain that when I died, it would be at the hands of Hera and Maduro. Or maybe, even Kora. Kora would kill me and bury my body and no one would notice, and even if they noticed, they wouldn't care enough to look for me. But now, lying on the ground and staring at this beast with huge, deathly fangs and blood thirsty eyes, I wished Kora had killed me instead. It would have been easier than being mauled to death. "Please. Please. please," I whispered, my breath trembling as the beast circled around me, snarling. Then my sides began to burn. As though getting mauled was not enough. I bit down on my lips, keeping the scream in as the burning intensified. I clutched my side and the eyes of the beast followed my movement. A
