Alec’s POV

It dawned on me over and over again why I felt attracted to her—why I felt nothing but pity for her since her first day in this Pack. How was I supposed to know she was mine?

Why did she have to be the chosen one?

The more I walked closer, the more my thoughts were racing. Ever since I became Beta of The Deathbringer Pack, I had done nothing, absolutely nothing but try to prove how much of a loyal person I could be to the Alpha.

And that, I had done.

Not until now.

I was still loyal. I tried all I could to be.

Finally, after a long time of walking and thinking, I was standing at the door of that room.

Unlike the other times, I didn't have the zeal, or the will to check in on Kane. But what choice did I have?

An ingenuine smile was on my countenance as I unlocked the door with the key I had with me, rushing into the space as I cared. I did, but it wasn't as before.

I shut the door immediately. “My Lord?”

He lay there on the floor, like one who was lifeless. But he

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    31: New Bonds, New Closure.

    Alec’s POV From the look of things, it was going to be a long walk. One I knew I would enjoy. “Let me have that,” I reached for the bowl. She didn't try to stop me, she didn't try to refuse and it told me a lot. More than a lot. Rain needed a break. She needed to rest. “I'm sorry about everything. Everything you're going through. You know you can always talk to me about anything at all. Anything and everything.” “Thank you so much, Beta Alec.” Silence ruled the moment, the walk. There wasn't much that I had to say. A part of me wanted to ask how she was being treated but on second thought, I could see it for myself. Why would Kane ask her to be at that tree? Did he forget we needed this woman in his life more than I needed her in mine? Why so mean to her?“There are so many trees in the whole of this Pack, but the Alpha loves to eat from this very one. You'll see it when we get there. He eats from the others but they're not meant for him. The other Alphas before him ate from

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    29: THE TREE.

    Rain's POV I stopped in my tracks, the large tray remained in my hand. Almost two weeks have passed since we last saw each other. It was strange. Very strange but I wasn't mad at him. Not any longer. The mate bond was doing more than enough already. One more step and I stood right in front of him. “Beta Alec.” My head bent and I bowed. “Good day, my lord. It's been a while. How are you today?” Looking back at his face, I now planted a smile. One I knew I meant. “Rain—” He whispered more than he spoke. “My Lord.” “How are you?” The tall man looked behind him, then he faced me again and let out. “It's been a while, indeed. How have you been and are you alright?” “I am doing well—” But I wasn't. I was worse than before when I wasn't a maid to the Alpha. Life was worse back then and now? It was more than worse. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to run away, a sigh ran out of my mouth when I met his gaze again. “How are you too?” As the Beta spoke, I didn't hear anything that he said.

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    28: Set Her Free.

    Alec’s POV The announcement did nothing but shock me. What was Kane talking about? I looked up and met his gaze, hoping it'll be all smiles and that would prove to me that he was joking. But there was nothing as such, not a single smile on his countenance, and rather, Kane's face had the most serious countenance ever. “What is going on?” “How do you mean?” “What do you mean by how do I mean, Alpha Kane? The last time I checked, you didn't want that woman close to Rain. How come you want her to become a maid in this same Pack? Can you make this make some sense?” “There's nothing to explain Alec.” I was on my feet now, shaking my head. “I am the Beta of this pack. My job is to know what's on your mind and why you're making up your mind to do it. Unless you don't consider me worthy any longer, then I could step down for someone worthy enough.” “You won't try to manipulate me into speaking.” It was Kane's turn to rise. He walked closer and stopped right in front of me, a smile on

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    27: Another Decision.

    Alec’s POV I lay on my bed, face up with many thoughts that ran around in my head. There was nothing I hadn't thought about since I walked into my chamber a while ago. After answering to Kane who did nothing but command me around. It was my role and tasks, after all. I now sat up, my thoughts drifting to Rain. I thought about how she was doing, fairing as a maid to the man himself. It's been a week since the verdict and I hadn't laid eyes on her. She was with the Alpha almost all the time and didn't need my protection any longer. According to Kane, I didn't have to go with her everywhere any longer, just as I did before. I had asked why and his words were the same as I had expected. “When she was in your care, how well did you take care of her?” There was no need to argue, I didn't do well even. But if only the Alpha knew, he would understand that she was more important to me than she was to him. But this—was a secret. There was no need to let him know. I could lose my Beta ro

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    26: Another Prison.

    Rain's POV That was the worst he could do, turn me into his maid. I wasn't surprised. Not when a part of me expected this to happen. Although I was shocked he would bring me down to that extent, an extent that would never suit my reputation if my parents and the rest of my Pack members were still alive. “My Beta will take you to your new room.”All I could do was look. “That's where you belong. You have no right to go on a walk, especially when on duty. I tell you when to retire for the day, I tell you what to do and how to do it.” “You're turning me into your maid?” “The Alpha doesn't appreciate being asked questions. Especially when the recipient hears him correctly. But because of you, I shall go again.” The wicked man adjusted on his throne and began. “Rain, you're my maid from this time, henceforth. You're to do everything a maid should do for her master. Not just any kind of maid. Not the kinds you see walking around the pack. Your role is that of a personal maid. One who

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    25: The Verdict.

    Rain's POV How could she expose us like that? What happened to keeping our mouths shut about it, just as planned? For a second, I was mad at Shayla who glared at the Alpha with so much hatred. A lot of them that I could see. I wouldn't even need to question it if she drove a knife into Kane’s heart right there. She looked like she wanted to, and if looks could kill, he would be dead by now.Kane still laughed, like the lunatic that he was. Alec stood by the corner, moping at me, sometimes his Alpha and then myself again. If there was something I wanted, it was to be done with this moment and be taken back to my chamber. Was that too much to ask? “You can't tell lies to the Alpha and expect freedom—” Now what was he talking about? “Both of you have stressed me so much in one day. Maybe two days, I spent enough time watching over Rain because I knew she would pull all these off, and I have Shayla to blame.” Another chuckle escaped his mouth as he looked in Shayla's direction. “Yo
