Claimed by the Alpha Beast 42: Neighbors
Marissa POVWhen I climb out of the van, the Gamma who rode with me comes around to collect the bag containing my clothes.Nadia is already moving toward the much too elegant door. She motions for me to follow her as I look up at the building in front of us.This is no cottage.It's a rather luxurious two-storey fourplex, with wide balconies and enough space around it to make my former cottage look like a mouse's hole. It's somewhat similar to the mansion I'd run from in River Howl.I stare at it.Is this where I'll be on house arrest?But why? Or has my sentence been cut short? Nah. Alpha Gareth mentioned something like this when he came to visit. Only now am I recalling what he told me. Is this where I'll be expected to perform my... duty?“You look sleepy, Miss Blue,” Nadia says, pulling my attention from the building.“The Queen is giving you the day off. Considering you worked a double shift yesterday.”That still doesn't explain why a prisoner has just been brought to such a fa

Caden POV'I'm not leaving.' I push the argument back through the mindlink. Everyone is standing still. They know I'm talking to someone. Justin knows who. He's clearly here on the King's orders.'Your Majesty, I'm just dropping off my guest somewhere close. I'll be back before dawn.'Justin will ride with you.' The reply is curt and final. 'He'll show you where to keep your girl. That's my final offer.'A pause.'And Twilight... let me just say this so it's out there. That girl does not turn up dead.'“What?” I frown at Justin as though he's the one I'm talking to. 'You think I'm going to kill her?'The Beta's face tells me everything. He knows Gwen knows. And he actually fears I might off the chic.He knows exactly what all of this is about.When I glance at mom, she looks scared to death. That worries me more than I have time for.'Relax, Mom. Apparently, my punishment for bad behavior is not over just because I'm Alpha now. That's all.''Are you sure that's all it is? It doesn'

Caden POVMy time in the hole has come to a pause.Zach tells me this before he sneaks out of the party with his mate.A pause. Not an end.I know he means it as a warning. Which is why I don't insist on going after Marissa to make sure she gets inside her cottage without lingering outside with that Gamma.Milo Hastings can't do or say much with Nadia there. Can he? I would trust Marissa's Gamma to do her job.After the King's brief speech of congratulations and thanks, the party truly begins. Some of it spills outside, where the newly titled Alphas make out with the girls willing to entertain them. Some of them do much more than make out.Glancing around, I decide now is the time to take care of my business.I slowly end the dance with Miss Caine, the Beta female who has been sticking close. She raises an eyebrow.“What is it, Alpha Caden? Tired already? Or...” Her gaze drifts past me. “Worried your girl will complain?”I follow her eyes to find Mom chatting with Gwen Harding while

“Easy,” he says, his voice unexpectedly gentle.The simple touch sends another unwanted memory through me.Caden moving me across the dance floor. His body against mine. Large hands holding me as though he was afraid I'd disappear.It had felt like we were the only two people in that room. Like we were simply a couple enjoying an evening together.He'd held me like he was hungry for me. And I'd let him. Even though I should've known it's a show for his dad.Of course his Luna-to-be wouldn't complain. She can afford to be patient. She has an assurance I didn't have so it's okay to let the poor omega have a few minutes to dream before reality came crashing on her.I need to stop thinking about Caden and put this night behind me.“You're awfully quiet.” Milo's voice pulls me back.I glance at him.“You looked like you were enjoying yourself,” he says, walking beside me. “Sorry about getting you sent back so early.”“It's not a curfew,” Nadia murmurs dryly.“Yeah, I know.” Milo sighs dram
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 39: The dreamer
Marissa POVI don't know why I almost let myself forget that whatever Caden does is probably an act of rebellion against Alpha Gareth.He made me dance with him for the same reason.At least, that's exactly how it seems when I was leaving the dinner hall.While his arms were around me, moving me across that dance floor with everyone watching, it hadn't mattered that his future Luna was somewhere in that crowd.For those few minutes, I'd let myself forget. I'd told myself I was dancing with him because the Queen ordered it. That I had no choice but to obey.But that was far from the truth.It had felt like a dream when he held out his hand to me. And now I hate myself for enjoying it so much.Caden hadn't danced with me because he wanted to be close to me. He'd danced with me because he wanted to spite Gareth. To make a point in front of all those high-borns and Alphas.And it worked.I remember the look on Alpha Gareth's face when I left the hall. Unmistakable annoyance.Now I'm hurry
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 38: Restless longing
Caden POVGwen is still speaking when Morgan appears. My gaze momentarily shifts from Marissa. The Gamma seems as apologetic as he did earlier when he first walked into the party. The look does little to ease my disappointment in him..'Did you know about the plan to make this female my Luna?' I link.'Your mom said it was better than keeping her captive. I agree, Cade. She's more than willing too. And Alpha Gareth likes her family.''And I'm supposed to care what Alpha Gareth likes?'Morgan lowers his head. I realize I'm getting more irritated by the minute.The truth is, the situation with Gwen is only a small part of the reason I'm prickly as hell.Marissa is standing near the Luna Queen with her ladies-in-waiting, looking like she'd rather be buried alive than be here.And Cyrus has just strolled over to her.Again.The male is talking animatedly, and she is actually listening. Really hard.Then she smiles.I catch Gwen's gaze moving from me toward Marissa's direction and look

Kerris POV"Where's the temp?" Zach catches sight of me as soon as he asks the question.“Here she is,” Mary replies.This is it. Time for the meeting I've been dreading and waiting for this past two days. I enter the reception and greet, "Good afternoon, your majesty.""Sure is," he responds, the

Tyrel (Third-person) Ty can tell he's not making any sense to the other Alphas. When Axel opens his mouth to speak, he knows the guy is about to pıśs him off some more,"You know, there's rumors that 'playboy Zee' is a little too attentive to his temp assistant. That's your girl, right? Kelsie or

Zach POVAres is no longer ill from the 'evil potion' in the wine. I can feel his strength and passion. As much as I feel the other guy's. All is well in every inch of my body and psyche.Yet I can't help thinking that the drugs have an influence in the feelings run through me. Madison had insisted

Zach POVYes. True. I should listen to her. She's pretty. She'll be Luna Qu--Ares' groans cut off that line of thought. He's struggling to emerge but can't. "Something's wrong...""Nothing is wrong," Madison insists, her eyes turning bright with purpose. I want to disagree with her but can't. H
