Claimed by the Alpha Beast 28: Disgruntled mom
Caden POVAt least Nyx is little calm now that she's no longer in that prison cell.I have no idea why I just said what I said. And I refuse to examine it.Whether or not I'll actually demand that she perform her duty is something I've spent the past few days trying not to think about.Those words had left my lips before I could stop them.And now I can't stop the images flooding my mind as I hurry out of the cozy room.What would it feel like to finally claim what is mine?In the brief, dangerous moment of fantasy, I let myself forget Gareth and everything he wants from me.Only Rissa exists. In my arms. Her warmth against me. Her naked skin, soft and willing, beneath me.I drag a hand through my hair as though I can physically clear the thoughts from my head. It doesn't work.I step outside.Gareth and Mom are waiting beneath the tree a few feet from the door.For a moment, I'm startled by the sight of the two. Not that I expect them to have left. Just that my brain doesn't seem ca
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 27: The defiant son
Marissa POVMaster.Not mate. The word makes my stomach turn."You will perform your duty while serving your sentence," Gareth continues. "The Queen made this special arrangement in order to keep you healthy enough to do exactly that."He turns toward the door, and all I can do is stare after him.For several seconds, I don't move.Then I catch something that makes my confusion deepen.Alpha Gareth places a hand against the small of Linda's back as he guides her toward the door.I blink.I always thought she hated him. Or that they hated each other.Abviously, I was wrong.Or maybe they're united in this. Gamma Linda must hate me now. For the crimes Gareth has just listed.They both think I'm nothing more than a problem that needs to be managed.The door shuts behind them, and whispers drift through the doorway.I hear Gareth giving instructions to Nadia Mars, the female Caden assigned to me.Or maybe it was his father who assigned her this duty.The voices soon fade. The room becom
Claimed by the Alpha Beast 26: The reminders
Marissa POVFor a long time after Caden leaves, I don't move. I remain where I am just staring at the door. At nothing in particular. I know he's still out there. I hear the whispers, not his voice, but he's part of the conversation. The sound soon fades.Minutes go by as I wait for…I don't know what I'm waiting for. Then a gentle knock sounds and I just at the sound. Did he forget something? Even as this question crosses my mind, I know it's not him."I'm coming in," a familiar voice calls.Ryder Lockwood.Caden's closest friend.The male who will most likely become his Beta once his final trials are over.He opens the door slowly and peers inside."Hey, Miss Blue."It's the first time he's ever addressed me directly.He and Caden became friends a few years after Alpha Gareth separated us. But Ryder and I are from the same pack. I've known him almost as long as I've known Caden.It doesn't change the fact that, like Caden, Ryder Lockwood belongs to a world very different from m
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 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

Tyrel (Third-person) Ty can tell he's not making any sense to the other Alphas. When Axel opens his mouth to speak, he knows the guy is about to pıśs him off some more,"You know, there's rumors that 'playboy Zee' is a little too attentive to his temp assistant. That's your girl, right? Kelsie or

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
