Rain's POV

What was that look?

Was there anything wrong with asking for a walk?

It was the first time in one year since I was brought here. Every time in my life since my abduction, I was made to sit in that room—or another room—the same one where the Alpha shifted. Into the beast he was.

“I—”

I choked on a chunk of meat.

Almost.

“Did I say something wrong, my lord?”

“No—” he looked away from Alec. “I'm surprised you would need my permission before going on a walk.”

The shock was evident on my countenance.

What was the Alpha trying to say?

“You don't need my permission before you go out, Rain. When I say go out, I mean within the compound. Any length but with a man by your side.” He looked at Alec and I did the same, knowing already the man he was referring to— the same man who I just found out was my mate.

Last night.

If only they knew I didn't want a thing to do with them.

But right now, I could not blow my chances.

My chances of having the freedom I desired.

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    61: A Shocking Refusal

    Rain's POV As soon as we came down from the horses, some members welcomed us back to the pack. This wasn't what I needed. I would love it on another day, just not today. Not when the Alpha was unconscious. He wasn't, I confirmed when he spoke to me a while ago. “You shall go take a bath. I'll see you later—” These were his last words before he dozed off again. It was obvious the man hadn't had enough sleep since a long time ago. Maybe the other men. But they probably didn't worry like the Alpha did. “I shall tell you what happens when I'm done with my lord.” Alec cut short my thoughts with the next words that came out of his mouth. While I walked towards the main entrance of the pack, I turned to look in the direction of Alec who had the Alpha carried in his arm. Good thing I knew the way to the Healing Abode. I would be there as soon as I rested. The Alpha worried about me for three weeks. It was my turn to do the same, knowing already that it wasn't going to last for a

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    60: Disappointment

    Alec’s POV “I'm right by your side, Alpha Kane.” I watched with keen interest, observing the environment before anything. No one seemed to have noticed my presence and I asked again. “What happened to my lord?” “He has lost a lot of blood.” A man answered. “I shall be back—” I took a step. “I need to check around before we leave. You can handle mounting him back on his horse, can't you? I don't think my lord can ride back, someone has to do this—I shall do it.” Before anyone would say a word, I walked into the compound. One part of me believed I would catch up with Kane, but he worked at a speed I could never imagine. This alone, told me a lot. Ignoring these thoughts that ran around in my head, I caught up with the inner part of the compound. No one needed to stay alive, according to what we were here to do. And some bodies, according to tradition, needed to be taken back to the pack with us. I turned at the sound of footsteps. My hand held my chest and I let out. “You sca

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    59: A Side Of A Man

    Rain's POV The sound of that voice. It was one I would recognize anywhere. At any time. I looked up at the sound of my name. The smile on the face of a beast. He was half human, half beast. “My Lord.” I felt bad speaking. If not because of anything but because of how I wished him death a few days ago when I didn't know it was my life we would need. Little by little, the Alpha was changing back into a human. When fully transformed, I watched with shock on my countenance. All my life, I had seen the Alpha in that state, all clean. Not until now. Now that I could see what he looked like after a deadly war, I wished that I could see what he did to those people—including how he did them. On the floor, Kane fell. What was wrong with him? Subconsciously, I tried to stand up and assist him, forgetting the cage where I was trapped in. “Don't move.” His words made me stay calm, while I waited for the worst to happen. What worse could happen now that my savior was here with me in this

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    58: Found.

    Kane's POV I stopped my horse. I arrived. Everyone was far behind—while some, only a few men seemed to be right behind me. “I strike in a moment—” I said to myself as I let the animal I came in relax somewhere around the gate and was on my way into the compound. What if I was at the wrong place? What if I was about to kill innocent people? I wasn't even certain of my purpose here. I looked around me, anger welling up inside of me at the sight of an outfit. The same cloak the man from the tailor shop talked about. I was at the right place. Instantly, a smile came that portrayed anger came on my countenance. I looked around, then behind me before glancing up, at the sky where the full moon existed. It had come out. It looked like—I looked at my skin. The time had come. It was a crack, and I was switching from human. To another creature. The beast in me had come to life. Not fully but almost. It was the first time since the curse that I would look forward to becoming a bea

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    57: Another Route

    Kane's POV It's been weeks since we visited the old pack. And nothing. There was nothing like the scents of wolves in it. Nothing like the presence of humans. Talk more about wolves. What could have happened by now? Many times, I asked myself this question. I didn't know what to think of, at this point. One part of me believed they had harmed the woman and the other part didn't know what to think. What if she was dead? The past few weeks weren't good. The full moon came twice and I suffered so much. What bothered me the most was the fact that we had been on the road for three weeks. And yet, our efforts looked like they would not be successful. Worry, at this point, had become an understatement for what I could feel. “My Lord.” I looked up at the sound of that voice. “Shall I come in? We have just arrived from the journey.” “Come on in—” I urged. The door opened instantly. Two men walked in. I adjusted on the wooden bed. Then, I announced. “I think I would go straight

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    56: Nowhere To Run.

    Rain's POV Keeping mute was the right thing to do. But I couldn't! Not when my life was in danger. Tears, over and over again, fell my face. All night, I couldn't help but think about what Logan told me, and how untrue it was from what was exactly happening. Why did I trust him? Why did I choose him over Kane at some point? How could I do something like this to myself? At the sound of something, I would flinch, scared that the time for me to be sacrificed had come. And now it was very hard to shut my eyes because I feared the chamber would be walked into and I would be taken against my wish. How could Logan?! The next morning, like a hurricane, came in a hurry. I was the first to wake up, I never was deeply in sleep. Somehow, I got myself to stay awake, just in case something was coming at me. I couldn't afford to lose my life, after all. What was I going to do? I couldn't make up my mind on anything. The route to the evil forest, I didn't know.But wasn't it better if I
