CONTRACTED TO THE BEAST ALPHA Chapter 172
The heat from the brazier filled the cell, and the prisoner was sweating profusely to the point where he felt like he could barely breathe.Trent stood there watching him with a blank expression. The man's eyes kept darting between Trent's face and the glowing coals, his breathing getting faster with each passing second.Brandon picked up one of the iron rods from beside the brazier and held it over the coals. The metal began to glow, shifting from dull gray to orange.The prisoner's body started trembling. His chains rattled against the chair as he tried to lean back, trying to put more distance between himself and that heating rod. But there was nowhere to go."Wait," the man gasped. "Wait, please." He swallowed his saliva, gasping for breath.Trent did not move. Instead, he kept his eyes locked on the prisoner."Please!!" the man said again, his voice breaking. "I will speak. I will tell you everything. Just please do not do this."Trent tilted his head slightly. "Are you ready to

Trent sat at the dining table with Zora beside him, both of them nursing cups of coffee with smiles on their faces while they chatted.The sound of footsteps approaching made him look up. Brandon appeared in the doorway with Claire at his side. Trent and Zora did a double take when they saw what she was wearing.One of Brandon's white shirts was on her small body, the sleeves rolled up several times so her hands could be free. The sweatpants she wore were equally oversized, bunched at the ankles and held up by what looked like a makeshift belt.Brandon caught his look and gave a slight shrug. "Her luggage is still in the car. We have not had a chance to retrieve it yet.""No worries," Zora said with a warm smile, standing to greet them. "I can lend you some clothes after breakfast if you would like."Claire's cheeks flushed slightly. "That would be wonderful, thank you, Luna.""Please, just call me Zora. We are all family now." She gestured to the empty chairs. "Come, sit. You must be

Claire leaned forward, closing the distance between them. She pressed her lips to his, soft and tentative at first.Brandon went rigid. His hands came up like he was going to push her away, to stop this before it went further since he wasn't sure if this was the right time or if it was too soon.But Claire deepened the kiss, pouring all her certainty and acceptance into it. The mate bond took hold, and he could feel all of her emotions.After a moment, his resistance crumbled. His hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer as he kissed her back with equal fervor.When they finally broke apart, both of them were breathing hard. Claire rested her forehead against his, listening to the sound of his heartbeat."Thank you," she whispered. "For being patient with me. For not pushing, and most especially, for being exactly what I needed even when I did not know I needed it. I thank the moon goddess every day that she paired me with a man like you."Brandon let out a shaky laugh. "You are g

Claire's eyes slowly opened as they felt heavy.The first thing she noticed when she woke up was the throbbing pain in her head. It felt like someone had taken a hammer to her skull and decided to keep going. She groaned softly, pressing her palm against her forehead.She narrowed her eyes with a confused expression, trying to focus on her surroundings. The room was unfamiliar but comfortable. Soft morning light made her feel relaxed. The bed beneath her was larger than hers, the sheets smelling faintly of pine and something masculine.Then the memories started trickling back. The journey and then the wolfsbane in the form of smoke. The way her lungs had burned when she breathed it in. The panic when she realized Brandon was missing.Everything was starting to make sense to her, but none of it pointed to where she was right now.She had gone looking for Brandon. That much she remembered clearly. Her feet stumbling through the woods, her vision blurring with each moment the poison hit

Once the maid left, Zora finally allowed herself to lean against the counter. Trent moved closer, studying her face."You are worried about something," he observed.Zora bit her lower lip. "I am worried about Claire and Brandon. Given everything Claire just went through, the trauma of the attack, being unconscious and vulnerable... she might decide to reject Brandon when she wakes up. Their bond is still so new, and they haven't yet connected."Trent stared into her eyes. He could tell that she genuinely cared for them. He carefully held her hand and gave it a soft squeeze."That will not happen," Trent said with certainty. "The mate bond is stronger than you think, Zora. Once it forms, it does not break easily. Fear and trauma might shake it, but they will not destroy it. Claire might be scared when she wakes up, but she will not reject him.""How can you be so sure?""Because I have seen it before. And because Brandon will not let her push him away. He will fight for her." Trent pul

Trent shifted back to his human form while still trying to catch his breath as a result of the fight just now. The mud on his skin was starting to dry and crack, but he barely noticed. His mind was focused on Zora.He rushed to her side, and even as she opened her mouth to speak, he immediately tugged her to his side and wrapped his arms around her."I was so afraid. I thought that I had lost you," he whispered into her ear, sniffing her scent."Me too. I was so scared when Brandon told me that you dashed into the woods. Why would you do something like that?" she fumbled, but he only tugged her tighter to his side with a small smile on his lips."Alpha!" Brandon suddenly called as soon as he was done bundling the man on the ground with a rope. Trent finally pulled away from Zora to give Brandon his attention."It's Claire. We can't find her." Brandon felt his heart break as he spoke. She had left everything just to be with him.The thought that she might be in danger all because of hi
