Zach POV

Kerris is breathing. She's still conscious. That's all that matters right now.

She leans further in my arms, one hand flattening on my chest as I carry her to the Pharmaceutical lab. At this time of the day, everyone is hard at work in their offices, wishing time to speed by fast. Only a handful of people are loitering about.

They all seem to give way, whispers rising all around. My own hearing is muffled by the situation before me. All of the words feels distant and makes no sense.

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   12: Revived by the Moon

    Marissa POVPain greets me before I even open my eyes.Every muscle in my body protests as I shift beneath the thin blanket. My ribs ache. My shoulders burn. Even my fingers feel strangely heavy.At least I'm alive. The last thing I remember is collapsing, then drifting in and out of darkness as I'm hurled into a windowless van. I honestly thought I was being driven to a graveyard to be buried. Instead, here I am on soft sheets, surrounded by the sharp scent of antiseptic and a strange warmth tingling beneath my skin. As though I've been touched by the moon.Only the ache in my chest remains, humming quietly in the background. Proof that I'm not in the afterlife, dead from the mate-bond wound.I stare up at the unfamiliar wooden ceiling for several long seconds before the events of the last few days comes rushing back.My escape. The arrest in the woods.IronFang.The full realization makes my stomach tighten as I slowly push myself upright.The smell of the place tells me I'm in a

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   11: The White Wolf and the Prisoner

    Kerris POVBy the time we pull into the infirmary's courtyard, I almost feel like myself again.Then I see the crowd.Doctors. Nurses. Patients. Even people who clearly aren't sick have gathered outside the building."Oh no," I breathe.Frank glances at me through the rear-view mirror."Everything alright?""Who told them?""Told them what? That you're coming? "I may have mentioned that the Queen could be visiting one of the city's infirmaries today."I stare at him. "How could you do this to me.""I... I told one person, Your Grace... I mean, Kerris." He shrugs innocently. "Apparently, that was enough."Doctor Colton chuckles beside me. "News spreads quickly. Everyone's delighted about the Luna Queen."Frank points through the windshield."They would have figured it out anyway."That's right. The car is Zach's black Cadillac. And driven by his Gamma with his Deputy in front. I drop my forehead into my hand."The King's car is a bit hard to miss," Frank said."Remind me to use one

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   10: Acclimating the Queen

    Kerris POV Marriage changes everything. Even my work. Being the Alpha King's mate means I can no longer live as ordinary as I used to. Apparently, I can't return to the Towers just yet. According to everyone around me, the Alpha King's new bride is supposed to spend her first few weeks settling into palace life before throwing herself back into work. Not that I'm complaining. Because Zach is staying close too. He insists it's because there's plenty of paperwork waiting for him inside the castle. Somehow, I doubt that's the real reason. Ever since our mating ceremony, he seems reluctant to let me out of his sight for long. I'm not exactly eager to leave either. Becoming Luna Queen has turned my entire world upside down. People bow when I walk past. Servants rush to open doors before I even reach them. Everyone calls me Your Grace. Every single time. I still haven't figured out how to answer without looking over my shoulder to see who they're talking to. Maybe it's

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   09: The King's message

    Caden POVMarissa is missing. Presumed dead.That's everyone's conclusion. Even Ryder and Morgan believes it too.I don't.I've left them behind at the mansion. For what must be the hundredth time since she vanished, I'm back in the woods searching for something. Anything they might have missed.A footprint or broken branch. Maybe a scent. Any sign she came this way.Back in River Howl, Morgan is keeping an eye on her parents for me. They've been indoors grieving.Mom insists it's too dangerous for me to go that far into the pack right now. I don't intend to. Marissa isn't at her old house. There's no sign of her going that way. Just as there's no sign of her going anywhere else.Nothing. No tracks. Not a single clue.It doesn't make sense.She only got her wolf a few months ago. Two years later than the average werewolves. Tanya is small and delicate. Females like her don't wander far from home alone. They go with someone stronger. Someone who can protect them if trouble finds them.

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   08: The interruption

    Zach POVI love watching her dress.Though not nearly as much as I love watching her undress.Truth be told, I just love staring at her, period.Even now, I still struggle to believe my luck.She's mine. We've been mated for only four days. Between the coronation, the investigations, and everything else demanding our attention, the closest thing to a honeymoon that we could have is locking ourselves away inside the castle for the last four days.And those four days end today.I'm seriously considering extending them. I'm not quite ready to share my Queen with the rest of the kingdom yet.Leaning back against the sofa in our bedchamber, I watch Kerris step into her dress. She wiggles her hips as she pulls the fabric into place, completely unaware of what that does to me.Or maybe she's fully aware."You know," she says, "most Queens don't dress themselves.""You're not most Queens." Not even close."Our honeymoon is over, Zach. The ladies-in-waiting should be here helping me.""Really

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   07: A less pretty cage

    Marissa POVDamn my luck. “Not that way,” the warrior says, pulling me along."I'm not carrying anything.” I try to struggle. It's useless. Just like my next lie.“I-it's energy herbs." "Energy herbs that mask your scent? Never heard of that. You know any kind of masking herbs is illegal without authorization. Especially for your kind."My kind. He means an omega. Before I can lie some more, he cuts in,"Save it for when we get to the Warriors’ Precinct."You're under arrest, Miss… Scentless."✶⋆ ♡ ⋆✶I never paid attention to the Realm's news.Politics is boring and doesn't interest me in the slightest.Such things have nothing to do with an omega who spent her days pruning roses and arranging flower beds.We get to the precinct soon, and the warrior snatches my satchel, emptying the contents onto a wooden table. The nearly empty vial falls out. So do the leftover energy herbs I was reserving for when I reach the port."Do you have a permit for these?" he asks."My mother's a che

    Zach POV I should run towards the woods. The only problem is there's people all around. Someone could see me and get curious. A nosy human security, for instance. They could follow me and get hurt, and I must avoid that.It's not that I feel any compulsion to shift, but it's safer to get away from

    Kerris POV For a split second after Zach gives me the horrible news, I consider falling on my knees in front of him. To beg him to buy me for the night, anyway. It's at the tip of my tongue to say I'll do whatever he asks if he'll just keep me from going to the Den like he has done the past week.

    Kerris POVI grip the paper tight with both hands as the horrifying words stare back at me. The Council's emblem sits proudly at the top left side of the Order, indicating its authenticity. "It's a fake," I mumble. “Please, let it be fake.”I run my thumb carelessly across the surface of the Counc
