Kane's POV

All these while, I have been watching her.

She moved funnily and it demanded my attention. Rain think she was smart. She wasn't.

I didn't know if I should be annoyed or not.

One part of me was shocked, shocked that she was that smart to pull this up. And the other part? I was angry she would think she could run away from me in the first place.

From my window, I had seen her open that door.

A door she shouldn't have noticed in the first place. A door she should not have seen, ever. Who told her about it? The glass in my hand reached my lips and I sipped some more water, wondering now, what to do.

The ditch she fell into had so many things she didn't want to see. There were more than enough bodies, from many years ago, rotten and fresh, thrown into it.

Did she think there was a route of escape in there?

The only way of escape was the main gate.

That alone, was the route she needed.

I smiled now at the thought of it, moved farther from the window as I wondered whether

  • 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

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL ALPHA    24: Truths.

    Kane's POV The hall door opened. There were two guards and a lady in their center. The lady I asked for.I adjusted on my throne where I sat, more than ready to give a verdict. It's been a long time since I did this and I was ready to do it again, one last time. Or not. “Leave me alone!” Her tiny voice filled the room. The men walked even closer, let her be and she fell to the ground. “Good. I thought I wouldn't set eyes on you again. I'm not surprised we have, Shayla.” She got up, faced me. Not a single fear reflected in her eyes. There was hate in them, as usual. Why did I think she would be different from the others? I took everything from her like I did the others, after all. “Why have you brought me here, Alpha Kane?” “You don't know, do you?” The main gate opened again. Alec walked in, his hand behind him said a lot but I ignored it, at least, for now, until I was done with the woman. “I have called you here and will go straight to the point.” The room went silent,
