Claimed by the Alpha Beast 81. Ointment for old wounds
Marissa POV“I kept waiting even after your father’s people came to move me to your house.”The words seem to reach somewhere inside him. His face changes, and the guilt in his eyes becomes harder to hide.“I was wrong,” he says. “I was upset, and I’m sorry.”Moments pass and he doesn’t try to defend himself or explain it away. He simply looks at me, letting the apology stand between us.“Can we put all of that behind us?” he asks. “Gareth won’t be making any decisions for me anymore. I promise.”I want to believe him. More than that, I want to believe we can stop letting the choices other people made for us decide what happens next.A gentle knock interrupts the moment.A female nurse peeks inside. I recognize her from when I was brought to the hospital from prison.“Alpha. Hey, Miss… Mage,” she greets.Mage.Right. My former fake name.“It’s time to check the dressing.”Caden gives her a nod and shifts aside, though he stays close as she approaches the bed. She carefully begins remo
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 80. Fear and awe
Marissa POV“Yes,” he says, and shame flickers across his face again. “And Gwen Harding… she saw me like that.”Gwen.The name settles between us, and suddenly the pieces begin to fit. That is why he’s keeping her hidden. She saw what he becomes when Nyx takes over, the side of him he fears the Kingdom will discover.A cold thought slips into my mind.Does this mean he might actually marry her?I don’t want to ask. I dread hearing him confirm it. But before I can get lost in the possibility, Caden continues.“It’s dangerous for anyone in the Kingdom to see me like that, Rissa. Dangerous for anyone to know and spread rumors. People don’t like different. They don’t like… strange.” He makes air quotes around the last word, though there’s nothing playful in his expression. “And with all the rumors about a ‘Creature in the Woods’…”The image returns with startling clarity: the enormous dark wolf, the unnatural claws, the way the attackers recoiled from him. My throat aches beneath the fres
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 79. Alpha's secret
Marissa POVI'm awake, but I keep my eyes closed for a long time. Caden is in the room beside the bed. I can feel his presence, steady and familiar, and somehow I have the strange sense that he knows I'm awake too. Neither of us says anything. I lie still, caught between wanting to slip back into my dreams and wanting to open my eyes and see him.What if everything that happened before the attack was a dream? What if my mind made it all up while I was lying here, hurt and barely conscious? Caden's words beneath the moonlight keep returning to me—the things he said about his pack, about our future, about me being his Luna. I want to believe they were real, but I'm afraid to trust them without knowing for certain."You're awake," he says, his voice soft as a whisper.I open my eyes slowly and find him sitting beside the bed.He has changed into a simple T-shirt and jeans, and he looks as though he's washed up. His hair is still slightly damp, and his eyes catch the light with a faint, u
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 78. Another family secret
Gareth (Third-person POV)Gareth stands to one side, watching Linda as Caden slams the door in her face. She doesn't look nearly as alarmed as she did when she first arrived. The fear that had been written across her face has eased, replaced by something he can't quite read. Is it relief because their son's mate is alive and Caden is safe? Or is there something else behind that sudden calm?He still can't make sense of what he saw in the woods.He had followed Caden and Marissa from a safe distance, shielding his presence whenever he could so his son wouldn't sense him. It hadn't worked as well as he'd hoped. Caden had detected him the moment he entered the woods behind them, even though Gareth remained out of sight. He'd gone after them intending to put an end to their moonlit stroll, ready to remind Marissa that she was not the sort of female who should be holding her Alpha's hand in public.But he'd hesitated.At first, he feared Caden had taken her into the woods to reject her. T
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 77. The waiting
Caden POV"You need to let us take care of her, Caden."Kerris's gentle voice reaches me just as Zach steps closer and starts guiding me toward the door. I resist for a moment, straining my neck to keep my eyes on Marissa. But Zach is blocking my view. I know they're trying to help her. Doctor Colton and the Queen need space to examine her properly. But knowing all that doesn't make walking away any easier.Moments later, we're all standing in the hallway outside the room. The door is closed now, separating me from the only person I want to see right now. I barely notice Gareth dismissing the warriors who came with us. Soon, it's just the three of us waiting in the otherwise quiet corridor. Somewhere deeper inside the castle, I can hear staff moving about, going on with their duties as though nothing has happened. Meanwhile, I'm standing here feeling as if my entire world is balanced on the other side of that door.My father watches me carefully, his expression unreadable. I wish h
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 76. Bleeding wolf
Caden POVGareth is the first person I see.He appears almost out of nowhere, standing several feet away with his eyes shining feral and his teeth bared in a way I have never seen before. A dead wolf lies at his feet, its body twisted unnaturally across the grass, and for one stunned second, I can only stare at him.Then instinct kicks in again. I look around, scanning the clearing to make sure we've cleaned house. The attacker who came for Marissa is already torn apart, courtesy of Nyx. Another wolf lies nearby, writhing helplessly on the ground, too badly injured to shift. The first attacker is dead, one arm separated from his body, pieces of flesh scattered across the grass where the fight took place.The third wolf is barely breathing. Good. They're all down.The sound of paws racing through the woods grows louder, and moments later Morgan and several royal warriors stationed near the border burst into the clearing. They stop almost immediately, taking in the scene before them.Ga
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 032: The confrontation
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 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
