Zach POV

Justin knows enough not to say a word about my situation as he walks in. He simply comes forward and sets a flash drive on my desk in front of me.

"That's the recordings from that night. Caleb spent all of last night extracting and deleting it from the records. No one else has seen it as far as we know."

I stare at the thing with no desire to pick it up. Worrying about the demon and people finding out has become exhausting. I don't even want to think about my curse right now.

The brief conversation with Kerris is still replaying in my head. I've had so much to deal with when I arrived at the towers, and planned to leave that confrontation till the end of the day. It appears she can't wait that long.

I move to pick up the flash when a shadow fills my doorway. It's her again. What does she want to say to me in front of my Beta? She knocks boldly this time.

"Yes?" I call out.

She enters. "I'm sorry to interrupt, your majesty. But MoneyVale just called. They wish to know where y

    Kerris POVWhatever he's about to force me to do can't be good."No, no, Ty! Please, I beg--"He grabs me by the neck, shutting me up. With glittering eyes boring into mine, he starts to speak,"You are not worthy to work for the Alpha King. You will call him and tell him what you did, then you will quit that job on your own! You will contact the elders and confess your sins against ME. That order from the Council? You will violate by staying inside this room until I say so. PRISON. That's where you’ll end up."His words doesn't cause stirring inside me. When he lets go and straightens, I don't feel any compulsion. Only terror at what he's trying to make me do.. Confess to the elder? They would strip my household of all honors if I dare confess infidelity against the Alpha. Mated or not."Look at me!” He commands. Gripping my chin again, he forces me to look up.“This bedroom is your cage for now. You will stay in here and wait for my verdict. Prison is not the only atonement that awa

    Kerris POV"What are you doing here?" I ask the ex.Dad walks in at the same time. "It's past midnight," Tyrel replies. "If I remember correctly, Kerris, you hate to be outside the pack after dark.""Alpha Ty says he's been trying to reach you," dad interjects before I can respond. "You weren't answering your phone. He says he must see you tonight. What he has to say can't wait until tomorrow." It is clear that dad is not pleased with this visit, too, especially now that he knows about the betrayal. But what can he do? You can't kick the Alpha out of your house. That's unheard of."Were you working till now, Kerris?" Asks Ty. "Yes.”“Oh, does the work involved lying on your back so you don't strain yourself? I mean, you were hospitalized a few hours ago.”What? Be cool, Kes. He can't possibly know where you're coming from. How can he?“I was helping the King with a few things. What brings you to our humble home?" I'm still speaking when I feel another presence join our midst. I lo

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   044: I am He

    Kerris POVI almost lose focus as he said the words. But those eyes. They have taken on the same colors as that first night. When I look at his hands, they're still normal flesh. He may or may not be himself right now. Yet I can't the anticipation that comes over me as he lowers himself on the bed and wraps one large hand around my ankle."I'm supposed to touch you," he says. A thumb gently caress my flesh, causing a thrill to travel up my thigh. "Touching you will lure him out."There's nothing romantic about his words. We're on a mission here. I keep repeating these thoughts in my head to stay focused. Then his hand moves to the back of my leg and begins to gently move up my thigh.I should protest. He said last time was a mistake. I shouldn't let him touch me as if he enjoys it.I open my mouth to speak and he swiftly settles himself between my legs. My body grows hot in the wrong place. He's staring at my lips now. I'm so sure he will kiss me as his hand gets to my upper thigh. He

    Kerris POVMadison Marlowe. That is Zach's girlfriend. Or soon-to-be Luna Queen.I've seen her on a few gossip blogs along with her cousin, who was kind of popular when I was high school. The latter was the former king's fiancee. Since she and Madison were close, they were often photographed together by paparazzi.The cousin left the country years ago and hasn't returned. She couldn't handle the gossip after the war. Maybe she'll come back for Madison and Zach's mating ceremony. After all, the current gossip is the two will be mated soon. Theirs is a serious relationship, and there's nothing stopping them from tying the knot. Except the beast. Now I realize why the Alpha King is desperate to be normal. My gut has been feeling weird ever since he announced that he has a late night date. I'm ashamed myself. All these times, not once did I recall that the male belongs to another. Instead I laid down at night thinking about his hands and lips all over my body. I've spent the last few d

    Tyrel (Narrator's POV)Neo is back in the pack. He didn't come with Kerris as instructed. Tyrel wants to lash out but can't because the gamma couldn't have forced Kerris Hart into the car. Not when the Alpha King sent one of his warriors to pick her up. "So Gamma Milo is taking her home? I mean, he's bringing her to the Moon Shadow, right?”“I don't think so, Alpha,” replies Neo. “It seems he's taking her to meet your uncle.”“You're not sure and you didn't think to follow them!?" Tyrel's hand tightens on the phone. "It's the… Alpha King,” Says the Gamma. “She's his PA at the moment. I hear he wasn't too pleased that no one informed him about the fainting.""So he's taking her to see his doctor or what?" “I think so.”That must be it. Uncle Zach will insist Doctor Colton looks her over. He wouldn't want to risk having her bedridden when Mary Dawson is away. That means Kerris is in Iron Fangs territory right now. She would be in the Alpha King's own infirmary this very moment.No w

    Kerris POVThe omega deposits a small bowl of chocolate mousse in front of me moments after I finish my meal. Zach is eating. The table has gone silent again after the doctor's answer to my previous question. Except for the silent communication between the King and his Beta. The two are mindlinking as the latter rushes the rest of his dessert. Then he excuses himself and vanishes out of sight.The meal ends soon. Zach motions for me to come with him. He leads the way through a door with Henry and I following behind. We enter a stairwell that only goes downwards like the one at the Den.“Where are we going?” I ask. “My basement,” he replies, then glances my way. “I want to show you his cage.”“I should get my briefcase,” says the doctor.He retreats as Zach and I continue down the stairs.His expression is as calm as ever, but the tension between us can be cut with a knife. A carryover from the little argument during dinner. The silence is more nerve-wracking than the night he forced
