Zach POV

“Are you scared?”

I know she isn't even as I ask her this. Rather than fear, the fruitcake seems intrigued. And little confused.

“No,” she shakes her head. “I'm not scared.”

After what happened on Saturday night, I already decided it is dangerous to be locked in a room or cage with Kerris Hart. That night made me realize how powerless I am to the beast's raging desire for the girl.

The fact that I've just learned of her true nature doesn't change my decision. And I'm right to be caut

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   25: The hidden captive

    Caden POVWhen I step out of the little cottage, Ryder is approaching with Nadia Mars beside him.I recognize her immediately.We went to the same school. Trained together a few times during our junior year.She's probably one of the few people who learned about my bloodline years ago. Her parents have friends among the people who work for Gareth, both at Stone Corporation and among the human side of his business. I'm not surprised she knows.River Howl still doesn't have an Alpha at the moment. She probably assumes I'll be the one taking the position soon.Little does she know I'm currently a delinquent living in an actual hole.I stand outside Marissa's door and make myself stare anywhere but at it.The urge to turn around is almost unbearable.She's in there. Just a few feet away.I briefly wonder if she likes the place. At least it's better than the cell.Ryder is studying me as they draw closer, an odd look on his face.I consider mindlinking him, but an IronFang warrior stands

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   24: The new cell

    Marissa POVAfter my brief conversation with Caden, I'm escorted back to my cell. I don't see or hear from him again.Two days pass. Then three.By the fourth morning, the familiar clanking of metal makes my stomach tighten. I expect the cellmate I've been dreading.Caden already made it clear we won't see each other again until my sentence is over. I know that.Still, some tiny, foolish part of me had hoped…I don't let myself finish the thought.I lift my head when the bars swing open and the guard stands outside. Alone."Get up.”I sit straighter."You're being transferred."At this point, I barely react. What's the use? I've stopped expecting anything good to happen. I'll serve my sentence, pay whatever fine remains after I'm released.Then I'll leave for the East Coast.That plan hasn't changed. Except this time, I'll ask Caden for a rejection.He didn't mention it during his visit, but he has probably thought about it too.Whatever the bond says... No matter what Tanya wants...

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   23: The son of Dad's comfort

    Gareth (Third-person POV)Alpha Rowan's smile widens. "You know,” he said. “I guessed it the moment I saw the young Alpha. I told Killian, that's Gareth's son. He didn't believe me.” He chuckles softly. "The resemblance is difficult to miss."Gareth gives a small nod. "Where is he?""Ah..."Rowan's expression becomes more serious. "He's doing time in the hole. For bad manners."He's still speaking when Gareth senses a familiar presence. One that can only be his own blood.He turns. Linda feels it and does the same.Caden is approaching between two ranked Gammas, one on either side.Gareth turns fully, studying his son carefully as they draw closer.He seems irritated, but otherwise...Whole. Completely. The boy is back to himself.So quickly? Has it even been twelve hours?Fresh waves of relief course through Gareth.The boy had recovered fully only after a few hours of finding his mate.This is why Gareth has always been grateful he was never cursed with a fated bond.Okay many w

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   22: The silent trip

    Gareth (Third-person POV)Gareth spots Linda from several yards away.She is waiting in front of her pack's main bus stop exactly where he instructed her to wait.This is one of the few times in twenty-two years she has done exactly what he asked without arguing.A ridiculous thought crosses his mind and he shuts it down immediately. She's not eager to see me. She's eager to see our son. Just like I am.He reminds himself of this again before his thoughts can wander somewhere they shouldn't.He'd raced halfway through the woods before taking a car for the rest of the trip. As a half blood, Linda can not shift this late in the lunar cycle, so driving is the only option.He finds himself wondering if she would've agreed to race side by side in the woods if she could.The thought is absurd. He pushes it away fast.When he pulls over beside her, she doesn't wait for an invitation. She opens the passenger door, climbs inside, and shuts it behind her."Hello, Alpha Gareth.""Linda."That's

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   21: Another promise

    Marissa POVHe says the name like it personally offended him."What the hell kind of name is that? Sounds like a human con artist.""What exactly do you have against normal names?" I ask."Does this John guy know you're a convicted criminal now?""How do you know about him?""I'll ask the questions, Marissa."Marissa. Not Rissa. The affectionate nickname only he used.Something inside me sinks. He really is angry with me. For faking my death and running. Making him look foolish.I lower my gaze and mutter. "Yes."I was running to John. You don't need someone like me as a mate." The words hurt coming out. "And I'm not used to living in a gilded cage."I force myself to meet his eyes once more.Something hard flashes across his face. "Ah." He leans back. "So you prefer a dirty cage."His gaze drops briefly to the walls around us. "Like this one. Got it."For one brief second, he looks exactly like Gareth. Cold and calculating. Powerful.Unapproachable.I feel myself shrinking beneat

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   20: The important visitor

    Marissa POVThe guard had meant it when he said two minutes. After my mom was escorted out, dad hadn't been allowed to stick around longer than a minute. I still don't know who took the photo, but I have a good guess and won't be surprised if Gareth appears before the night is over.The cell feels much smaller at nightfall. Maybe it's the lack of light.Maybe it's the cold stone walls closing in around me. Or maybe I've simply been here too long.I sit on the hard floor with my back against the wall, staring through the bars at nothing and the outer metal bars. Then two shadows appear at the far end. From the sound of it, they're coming towards this cell. One shadow seems larger than the other.They're a few feet away when Tanya stirs immediately. My heart follows.The presence registers before the guard calls the single word."Visitor."My fingers tighten around my knees.Caden.Not Gareth.Then comes the clanking sound. I force myself not to look up. Not because I don't want to

    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

    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
