Claimed By The Wolf Kings Chapter 14 - A lie set in stone
KAZIMIR KAZIMIR The casino construction site was loud, dusty, and exactly what I needed. Just the perfect distraction from my busy life. I stood on the second-floor scaffolding, watching the workers below pour concrete and weld steel. The new building was coming together slowly, too slowly for my liking but I'd learned long ago that patience was a virtue, especially when it came to rebuilding what had been destroyed."Alpha Rossi." My foreman, a grizzled old wolf named Garrett, appeared at my elbow. "The eastern wall is behind schedule. We need more men.""Then hire more men.""We've already hired everyone capable in our pack. There's no one left."I rubbed my temples. "Then pull from the southern site work. It can wait.""Yes, Alpha."He disappeared. I turned back to the construction, but my mind was elsewhere.Ariel.She'd been in my thoughts constantly since the council hearing. The accusations. The evidence. The way she'd looked at me when I'd told her about Marcus Kane, like sh
Claimed By The Wolf Kings Chapter 113 - A good distraction
ARIEL We sat in silence for a moment. The tea was warm in my hands. The kitchen was quiet. It was almost peaceful."The investigation is...," Nikolai said finally. "I think I may have a lead on a witness. They worked with Kane."I looked up. "Who?""I don't know who the person is yet, but I'm meeting with them today to talk to them. Hopefully it turns out well .""Will it be enough?""It might be. But Katherine will fight dirty. She feels slighted that Kazimir didn't pick her as his Luna so she's doing all of this with the hopes that you get rejected as his mate. Obviously, she has the council's support and backing and also the pack." "What else is new?"Nikolai almost smiled, almost. "We need to move fast. Get the witness's statement on record before Katherine figures out what I'm doing.""Then let's do it."-————————Kazimir joined us a while laterz He poured himself a cup of coffee, then sat beside me."Nikolai told you about the witness?""Yes.""We need to move quickly. Get to

ARIEL"He took me to his pack. He said I was his guest. But I wasn't a guest. I was a prisoner. He wanted to use me. To sell me. To..." I stopped. "He tried to force himself on me and fought back. I didn't mean to kill him. I just wanted him to stop what he was doing."Kazimir was quiet for a long moment."Why didn't you tell anyone?""Who was I supposed to tell? I was a fugitive. A Blondeau. The daughter of the man who'd destroyed the Rossi family and I was on the run. There was nowhere else to go or nobody else that would have cared or listened that I killed an alpha. They'll just call me a wolf killer.""I would have listened.""You didn't know me then. You were too busy hating me, remember?" He didn't respond."Katherine is using this against you," I said. "Against us. She wants to paint me as a wolf killer. As a threat to the pack.""She's succeeding." His voice was flat. "The council has ordered an investigation. They're placing Nikolai in charge of it. And they still have the
Claimed By The Wolf Kings Chapter 111 - The uncomfortable truth
KAZIMIR "According to you, she killed her, but from what you say, it seems like the investigations were never concluded. The Ironclaw pack seems to be as clueless on this situation as well as you.""Because she fled.""You don't have any evidence that she did this. Ariel blondeau was on the run for years, trying to survive. You really think she would have risked killing an alpha?""She is a blood moon bride with immense power. She can kill alphas with just one touch. Why do you talk about her as if she is some spineless weak damsel?"I didn't answer.The council deliberated in whispers. Then Elara spoke."We will conduct our own investigation. We will bring Ariel Blondeau before this council and demand answers.""No.""Excuse me?""You're not bringing her before this council. Not without proper evidence. Not without me taking a look at the investigation myself.""You're too close to her. You can't be objective." Elara paused. "We're placing your brother Nikolai in charge of the inves
Claimed By The Wolf Kings Chapter 110 - Newfound evidence
KAZIMIR "About what?""Everything. Mostly Ariel. The fact that you've been spending more time at the estate than the pack house." He paused. "They're worried, Kaz.""Let them worry.""That's not very helpful. We should find a way to reassure our people.""The only reassurance they want is the one I can't give them."He shook his head. Landed a punch to my shoulder. I blocked the next one."Lev's been monitoring Evie" he said. "She appears stable. All is well with her.""That's good.""How's Ariel? I hope the two of you aren't fighting again."I didn't respond."The pack can survive without you for a few days. But Ariel..." He stopped. "She needs you, Kaz. Whether she admits it or not.""I know.""Do you?"I didn't answer.-——————————-We finished sparring and sat on the bench, both of us breathing hard, both of us covered in sweat."Remember the old days?" Nikolai asked. "Before all of this? Before Father and mother died?""I remember.""We used to have so much fun. Real fun. Not th
Claimed By The Wolf Kings Chapter 109 - Restless
ARIEL The drive back was silent.I was shaking. Not from fear, from adrenaline. It had been a long time since I had to fight. I could feel the power humming beneath my skin. From the power still humming beneath my skin. From the look in Dimitri's eyes when he'd seen what I could do."You saved us," he said finally."I only helped a bit. If there were more it could have been fatal. I'm not the greatest when it comes to combat.""I saw you fight two grown men. You're... incredible."I didn't respond.He nodded slowly. "I'm sorry. For putting you in danger.""You didn't put me in danger. I was the one who stupidly followed you.""I should have stopped you.""You tried."He almost smiled, almost.---Kazimir was waiting when we returned. After our little escapade, we had rushed to go get the supplies we needed, Dimitri carried the grocery bags in. Kazimir's eyes moved from me to Dimitri and back again. His jaw was tight. His hands were clenched at his sides."Where have you been?"Dimit

KAZIMIR The scent of wolfsbane and gun oil clung to the air as I strode through the weapons room. My brothers moved like extensions of my own will, Lev filling syringes with lethal precision, Nikolai loading silver rounds with that fucking grin of his, Dimitri already melting into the shadows wit
Claimed By The Wolf Kings 4- The beginning
KAZIMIR The study smelled of aged whiskey and cigarettes. I poured myself a drink, the crystal glass cold against my fingers, and stared into the amber liquid like it held answers. Nikolai slouched in one of the leather chairs, spinning a knife between his fingers. "So. What's the plan, brothe
Claimed By The Wolf Kings 3- Meeting the Rossis
ARIEL The car door slammed shut behind me, the sound final as a coffin closing. Kazimir hadn't spoken a word since we left the club, his silence more unnerving than any threat. Through the tinted windows, I watched the city lights blur into nothing as we climbed higher into the mountains, putting
Claimed By The Wolf Kings 2 - Ghost from the past.
KAZIMIR I didn’t come through the front door because I knew Maddox would run if he ever heard I was in his shitty club. He would use the chance to sneak away like the slimy frog he was and hide for the next couple of months before my men found him again. No. I took the back exit, the one reekin
