20: The important visitor

Marissa POV

The 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.

  • 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

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

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   19: Twilight and the King

    Caden POVThe whip wounds sting like hell. One hundred lashes.I'm healing too fast, and skin growing afresh can sometimes hurts worse than anything.I lie at the bottom of the hole with sand in my mouth and my back pressed against the packed earth. Every twitch sends another sharp sting across the welts.I barely notice it.The tingle inside my chest overshadows every other feeling.Marissa is alive. Well of course, she is. I'd known from the moment I learned she was gone. Still... knowing she's alive is far different from merely believing. And she hadn't run away with John Maxwell either.The thought loosens the embarassing tightness in my chest.Pathetic, really. But no one has to know.She'd tried to escape and failed. And now she's here. Inside IronFang. Only a few blocks away.More importantly, the Luna Queen promised me she won't disappear again, and I believe her.Or at least Nyx does.He's still pacing restlessly inside my head, but the frantic edge is gone. Now he's simp

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   18: The other odd one

    Kerris POVZach is busy. Despite the fact that I'm now his Queen, I can't help worrying about how he'll react or what he'll think when I show up in the middle of work. I should probably call first, but Juno insists on being near her mate.Apparently, that's her name and she insists I address her by it. Juno.Of course, she's also the reason I'm nervous.She listens when I speak. She lets me make the decisions and, most of the time, she's perfectly content to let me be in charge.Except when she decides to use her powers.I'm slowly beginning to understand how Zach must have felt whenever Nemesis took matters into his own hands.Frank slows to a stop near the construction site, and I spot Zach immediately. His face lights up as he turns around and sees me stepping out of the car.He's in the middle of a conversation with several men, some werewolves and some human. The moment he notices me, he raises one finger."Excuse me for a moment."Then he walks toward me.The men immediately

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   17: The parent's dread

    ~ Gareth (Third-person POV) ~Gareth stares at the phone lying on his desk. He expects it to ring at any moment. And he dreads the moment it does.It vibrates once. He doesn't reach for it like he would've done in normal circumstances. The silence all around him feels like a promise of bad news.Rather than the phone, he picks up the glass of gin beside it and downs a long swallow. The familiar burn feels good traveling down his throat. Then he set the glass down.He knows for a fact that the beep is a message is from Riley Mars. His contact inside IronFang.For the past week, every text or call from that number causes a fierce jerk in Gareth's heart.Despite Doctor Colton's treatment, Caden was barely holding himself together when he left for his final Alpha trials. The mate-bond wound is fresh. It has eased, but not enough.Every phone call since then has carried the same terrifying possibility.Something has happened to the boy.Gareth reaches for the phone at last, his hand hov

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   16: Waiting again

    Marissa POVThe moment Gamma Myra pushes me back into the kitchen, the scolding begins."Didn't I tell you not to flirt!" The head cook rounds on me with a wooden spoon still clutched in one hand. I half expect her to hit me with me but she doesn't. "I see girls like you all the time, and it sickens me. One glimpse at a handsome Alpha and suddenly you're dropping dishes and making eyes at him."All I can do is stare between her and the floor. Because what exactly am I supposed to say?That he's my mate?That I faked my own death to escape becoming his breeder and now he's locked up because he recognized me?No.All of that could get me in deeper shıt. Gareth Stone has legal papers proving I belonged to his family. Running away from one's duties to an Alpha blooded male is a crime of its own.I simply lower my eyes, biting back any defensive words that threaten. I did not flirt. I tried to avoid him. I prayed he would ignore me. "Did you forget you're a convicted prisoner?" she s

    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
