Married To My Enemy Alpha

The forest was too quiet. No wind. No rustling leaves. Not even the distant howl of a wolf. I tightened my grip on the dagger hidden in my sleeve. Every step I took crunched against the dead leaves, sounding far too loud in the silence. Then it came—snap. A twig breaks behind me. I froze. My pulse slammed in my ears. “Who’s there?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I felt. No answer. Just the faintest shift in the shadows… and then he was there. Alpha Kael. Tall, broad-shouldered, with eyes like molten gold that pinned me in place. The enemy I had sworn to kill. The man who had murdered my brother. His lips curved—not a smile, but something darker. “You shouldn’t be here, little wolf.” “I’m not afraid of you,” I lied, my voice steady despite the tremor in my hands. He stepped closer, slowly and deliberately, until I could feel the heat radiating from his body. “You should be. "You’ve just walked into the lion’s den.” “I’m here for answers,” I snapped. “You’ll get them,” he said, his gaze flicking briefly to the dagger in my sleeve. “But you just sealed your fate.” I stood still,shaking but trying to be calm so he couldn't sense I was afraid of him.
