I ran like the woods themselves were trying to swallow me whole. Branches tore at the delicate white fabric of my mating dress, ripping tiny holes that mirrored the ones now shredded through my heart. Tears streamed down my face, hot and relentless, blurring the path ahead until I could barely see where I was going. My chest heaved with ugly, broken sobs that echoed between the trees.

Isaac’s voice shouted my name somewhere far behind me, growing fainter with every desperate stride I took. I di

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   229: Charred body

    Emmett’s POV The lingering heat of the night before still seemed to cling to the sheets, but the space beside me was chillingly vacant. I rolled over blindly, my arm reaching out across the mattress, expecting to find the smooth curve of Kali’s shoulder, the soft tangle of her hair against the pillows. My fingers met only cold, crumpled linen. I frowned, blinking against the dim gray light filtering through the heavy drapes. Pushing myself up onto one elbow, I rubbed my tired eyes, the heavy exhaustion of the previous hours still humming faintly through my veins. The room was deathly quiet. I looked around the empty room, catching the faint, lingering scent of her wildflowers and rain in the air, but there was no sign of her. "Kali?" I called out, my voice rough with the remnants of sleep. No answer. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, pulling on a pair of dark trousers. A quiet, insidious spike of panic began to coil in my chest. I checked the adjoining bathr

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   228: Burn away the ghosts

    Emmett’s POV Her fingers were relentless against the leather of my belt, fumbling for a second before the metal prong slid free with a sharp, metallic snap. The sound echoed in the damp, steam-filled quiet of the bathroom, a tiny punctuation mark to the sudden, almost drastic change in the atmosphere.My breath caught in my throat, hot and ragged. Just a moment ago, I had been the one holding the line, the one preaching patience and restraint. I had looked at the pale, haunted hollows of her face and sworn to myself that I wouldn’t touch her like this, not while she was drowning in whatever terror had chased her out of the woods, not while she looked like a stiff breeze could shatter her into a million pieces.I had told her I wanted to wait. I had told her she needed to feel safe first.But my noble intentions dissolved into ash the second her gaze locked onto mine. There was no hesitation in her eyes now, no timid submission. Instead, there was a dark, burning hunger, a desperate,

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   227: Take a bath

    Emmett’s POVThe single word hung suspended in the quiet air of the hallway, raw and loaded with a sudden, suffocating weight.“Kali?”I stood frozen in the threshold of my room, my chest tightening as my eyes swept over her. Up close, the sight of her sent a cold, jarring shock straight through my veins. She looked entirely ghostly, her skin practically translucent, drained of any natural color, and her eyes wide with a deep, haunted terror that she was frantically trying to swallow down. The vibrant, warm energy that usually seemed to surround her had vanished, replaced by a chilling fragility that made my beast claw restlessly beneath my skin.I reached out slowly, my fingers brushing against her icy cheek. “Where have you been? What happened to you?” I asked, my voice dropping to a low, rough murmur of concern.Kali flinched slightly at my touch, leaning into it for a fraction of a second before pulling back. She avoided my gaze, staring down at the floorboards as a hollow, trembl

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   226: Translucent

    Emmett’s POV The heavy oak desk in the center of the study cast long shadows across the floorboards as the cool morning light filtered through the leaded glass windows. I stood up from the chair, rolling my shoulders to work out the lingering stiffness of the past few days, and extended my hand across the wood toward Isaac. Isaac took it, his grip firm despite the underlying pallor of his skin and the exhausted slump of his posture. "You’ve been a gratuitous host, Isaac," I said, my voice carrying the steady, resonant authority of an Alpha who had spent far too long away from his own pack lands. "Truly, your hospitality has been deeply appreciated. But my pack requires my presence back home. We will be heading back soon." Isaac gave a slow, understanding nod, letting go of my hand as he offered a weary smile. "I understand, Emmett. Pack duties always come first. There’s no fault in returning to where you’re needed." I lingered for a moment, the pending union between our packs

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   225: The cost

    Zara’s POV "Ike! Ike, look at me, please, open your eyes," I choked out, my voice fracturing into a ragged, desperate sob.My hands shook violently as I reached out, gently grabbing his shoulders and carefully rolling him onto his back. More thick, dark blood spilled from his nose, smearing across his pale cheeks and staining the front of his shirt. His skin was ice cold, completely stripped of the warm, amber vitality that usually radiated from him. His chest was terrifyingly still."No, you don't," I whispered fiercely, tears finally breaking free and spilling hot down my face. "You do not get to leave me. Do you hear me, Ike? Wake up!"I pressed my palms flat against his chest, right over his heart, pouring every ounce of my remaining willpower and the desperate remnants of our bond straight into my hands. I began to push down, performing chest compressions with a frantic, unyielding strength, ignoring the searing pain in my arms and the vicious throbbing in my head."Breathe, dam

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   224: Pool of crimson

    Zara’s POV “Zara... is it true?” Kali asked, her voice a fragile, trembling fracture in the heavy silence of the room. “Is what Kora saying... is it true? Am I the Shadow Wolf?”The question hung in the air between us, charged and terrifying, stripping away the last remnants of denial we had clung to. My heart hammered against my ribs, heavy and erratic. I looked down at Kali, seeing the sheer, unadulterated panic radiating from her posture. I wish I could tell her a comforting lie but there was no point in doing that. The truth was out, ugly and inescapable, and she needed me to anchor her before she completely unraveled.Slowly, I closed the small distance between us, sitting down on the edge of the mattress right beside her. I reached out, my fingers wrapping gently around her cold, rigid hands.“Look at me, Kali,” I murmured, keeping my tone as steady as I possibly could, though my own mind was spinning.Kali slowly lifted her gaze, her eyes wide, glassy, and completely dry. If i

    Zara's POV “What the hell is going on, Isaac?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, when he didn't answer right away.Isaac didn’t answer immediately.

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   145: Kali's gotta go

    Kora's PoV The sapphire flared to life in my hands, a sudden burst of silver-white that flooded the room like moonlight breaking through storm clouds. For one frozen heartbeat, panic clawed up my throat. I had been so sure that I was the silver wolf but what if I had misheard? What if the words m

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   129: Pool of blood

    Emmett's POV. I felt like a volcano that was about to erupt. Hot, angry, seething. Like something wanted to explode in me and I wanted to see someone hurt. That person being Maduro. Ever since I was fifteen that had been my wish, to make him suffer like how he made me and my sister. I w

  • Enslaved to the Mad Alpha   68: Worst lie ever

    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
