Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Seventeen-THE WHISPERING MARSHES
Zara's POVThe ground was getting softer with every step I took and the water started to seep into the gaps of my boots until my socks were soaked and heavy, and the fog was so thick that I could barely see the feral wolf walking just a few feet ahead of me as we pushed deeper into the center of the marshes. Silas had stayed behind at the edge of the tree line because he said this was a journey I had to take by myself if I wanted the spirits to listen to me, and as the mist wrapped around my shoulders I started to hear faint voices that sounded like they were coming from the very bottom of the stagnant pools of water. At first I thought it was just the wind blowing through the reeds but then the whispers started to sound like people I used to know back at the Drake estate, and they were saying things that made my chest tighten with a familiar kind of shame that I had been trying to outrun since the night my father died."You really think an Alpha like Kael would want a broken girl
Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Sixteen-CROSSING THE BORDER
Kael's POVThe climb up the rocky slope was steep and the loose gravel kept sliding out from under my boots but I didn't slow down because the scent of honey was getting stronger with every meter I gained, and Silas was right behind me with his hand on his sword while the rest of the tracking unit stayed back to secure the base of the cliff. We reached a small ledge where the air felt cooler and I saw the dark opening of a cave that was hidden behind a thick curtain of ivy and moss, and I didn't even wait for a signal before I pushed through the vines and stepped into the small cavern with my claws already beginning to prick at my fingertips. The interior was empty of people but it was filled with the smell of woodsmoke and bitter medicines and I saw a small wooden bench where a bowl of dark liquid was still sitting and letting off a tiny bit of steam into the cold air."She was here and she was here recently because I can still feel the heat of her fever in the air and the bond is
Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Fifteen-THE BETA’S SECRET
Damien's POVThe floorboards in the upstairs hallway had a tendency to creak near the linen closet so I made sure to step close to the wall where the wood was sturdier and I waited for a few seconds after every movement to make sure no one was coming, and the house was finally quiet now that the engagement guests had gone home and the servants were busy cleaning up the mess in the ballroom. My head was still fuzzy from the whiskey I had been drinking all night but the cold air in the corridor helped clear some of the fog and I reached the door to Marcus's private study while holding my breath and praying that he was still in the cellar checking on the wine inventory like he usually did after a party. I gripped the brass handle and turned it slowly until the latch clicked open and I slipped inside the room and shut the door behind me and for a moment I just stood there in the dark while listening to the sound of my own frantic heart hitting my ribs."I shouldn't be here and if he fin
Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Fourteen-THE SEER’S HUT
Zara's POVThe air in the small hut was thick with the smell of drying weeds and woodsmoke and I struggled to keep my eyes open as Silas set me down on a wooden bench that felt hard against my back, and I looked around the room and saw bundles of herbs hanging from the rafters and jars filled with things I didn't want to name sitting on every available shelf. My hand was still throbbing with a steady heat and I watched as Silas moved toward a stone hearth to stir a pot of something that smelled like bitter roots and old dirt."Drink this and don't complain about the taste because it’s the only thing that’s going to stop that infection from taking your arm by morning," Silas said as he handed me a wooden bowl filled with a dark and steaming liquid."I don't even know who you are or why you’re helping me and I want to know how you knew my father back then," I said while I took a small sip and nearly gagged because the liquid was as bitter as I expected it to be."I was a guard for
Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Thirteen-THE SILVER MANOR
Kael's POVThe heavy iron gates of the Silver Manor swung open before I even reached them and I didn't stop to acknowledge the guards who were bowing as I rode past because my chest felt like it was being squeezed by a giant hand and every breath I took was heavy with a dull ache that wasn't my own, and I knew it was the mate-bond reacting to the pain Zara was feeling wherever she was hidden in those mountains. I dismounted my horse before it had even come to a full stop and tossed the reins to a stable boy who looked startled by the dirt and blood on my clothes and I marched straight toward the main hall while Silas and the rest of my men struggled to keep up with my pace. The interior of my home was usually a place of quiet and order but today the stone walls felt like they were closing in on me and I could hear the servants whispering as I passed them because they could clearly see the anger radiating off my shoulders and the way my eyes were still flashing with a silver light.
Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha Chapter Twelve-HOLLOW VICTORY
Seraphina's POVThe ballroom was filled with the smell of expensive lilies and the sound of a string quartet playing a slow tune that was supposed to be romantic, but the air felt thick and uncomfortable because half the guests were whispering about the Alpha’s sudden departure and the other half were staring at the empty seat where Zara’s father used to sit during council meetings. I kept a tight smile on my face while I adjusted the silk gloves covering my hands and I looked over at Damien who was standing by the punch bowl with a glass of dark amber liquid that he hadn't put down once since the party started two hours ago, and his face looked pale and drawn as if he hadn't slept a wink since we watched the carriage pull away from the stables. My father was moving through the crowd and shaking hands with the other pack elders and trying to act like everything was perfect but I could see the way his eyes kept darting toward the front door every time it opened, and I knew he was jus
