Marissa POV

I'm somewhat disappointed when Milo doesn't stick around longer. He has to get back to work. He'd said he was only passing by and wanted to check on me, especially after learning that my “crush's” Luna is now living right next door.

He had even laughed about it, trying to make the whole situation sound less suffocating than it feels. I was somehow grateful for his little jokes.

He had been around when my meal arrived, so he stayed and shared it with me. For a little while, having s

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   53. Desire and outrage

    Marissa POV“You don't get to send me away.”I stand up so suddenly that the mattress shifts behind me. Fury surges through me. At Caden. And his mother. And at this suffocating situation, and most of all at myself for still feeling this strong pull toward him despite everything.I am determined to fight it no matter what.“Don't you come close to me!” I warn.He doesn't stop.Almost as if my warning is a challenge, Caden keeps moving toward me, his gaze fixed on mine. A deliberate, predatory advance. Until I'm backing away without even realizing it, my spine eventually meeting the wall behind me. He has me crowded against the wall now, his body a solid wall of heat and muscle. “Why?” His voice was low, rough. “I have every right to.” His lips hovered a breath from mine. I stood rigid, every muscle locked.“Does your mother know you’re here?" I ask, my voice breathless and shaking. "What does your Luna think about this? I heard she doesn’t have a clue yet—she won’t carry your childr

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   52. Dread and desire 2

    His presence simply creeps into the house, filling the space around me before I even hear his footsteps.I run the rest of the way into the bedroom and slam the door behind me. My back hits it, and I suck in a deep breath. My heart is pounding so hard I can feel it in my throat.A few seconds pass, and then...Knock. Knock. “Marissa!”I lock the door with shaky hands. Only then do I move away from it, forcing myself toward the bed to sit down and wait for him to...Leave.He'll realize I'm not going to open the door and go to Gwen instead.The thought should not hurt this much. Instead, something inside me twists painfully in a violent protest. Tanya lets out a low, miserable groan inside me, restless and aching for her mate.Stop it.I squeeze my eyes shut.“Marissa?” Another knock lands against the door, harder this time.“What’s the matter? You're no longer taking visitors?” His voice carries a teasing edge that makes me feel worse. “That Gamma wore you out with his visit, didn't

He'd said he was only passing by and wanted to check on me, especially after learning that my “crush's” Luna is now living right next door.

I was somehow grateful for his little jokes.He had been around when my meal arrived, so he stayed and shared it with me. For a little while, having someone to talk to had made the new house feel less strange. Less like a beautiful prison.Now, our conversation is over.I walk him to the door, still smiling faintly at something he'd said. Then movement near the entrance catches my eye. My smile disappears.Caden Stone.My heart seems to forget its rhythm. As usual. For once, I'm thankful that I'm not allowed past the door except when heading to work.I step back immediately and turn around even before the door clicks shut behind me. I head ba

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   50. The florist's bestie

    Caden POVDinner continues in silence as I struggle to keep my mouth shut after Kerris's remark. I don't need to argue with anyone anymore. Not Mom. Or Alpha Gareth. And certainly not the Alpha King and the White Wolf.It's not like I'm surprised the two of them agree with my parents anyway.Marissa's social status must have been on their minds when they came to their conclusions. To them, she's an omega prisoner with no notable bloodline. Gwen, on the other hand, is acceptable. She's known. She has the "acceptable" bloodline and is from the right circle. She can stand beside me without making anyone question the strength of my pack or the Stone bloodline.Fine.I'm not going to waste my energy arguing about it tonight.What I will do is find a way to handle the Gwen situation first. Once I have a plan that works, then I'll tell them what I've decided. And if they still try to force their own solution on me, that would be the time to argue. For now, I'll save my energy and enjoy the

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   49. Ice-cream and dinner 2

    Caden POVThe amusement is gone from Kerris' eyes now. My shoulders stiffen slightly as I notice this."By whom?" she asks. "Have you decided?"Shit.My mind immediately goes to Gwen.Gareth must have told them enough about her. He may have told them everything about his plans for her to become my Luna. Or perhaps he's told them that Marissa will be the one bearing my children while Gwen takes the public position.Either way, I don't like where this conversation is going. I should've kept my mouth shut and kept eating."You don't have to answer me, Alpha Caden," Kerris continues when I don't immediately respond. "It looks like you don't have an answer yourself."Her eyes hold mine. "Your... Luna and your fated mate are living side by side. That should help you decide quickly, don't you think?"My pulse jumps.So that's why they allowed the move. That's why Marissa was taken from her cottage and placed in that house. It was all calculated. Deliberate. To pressure me. And force me to c

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   49. Ice-cream and dinner

    Caden POVWhen we finally enter IronFang, it is much later in the afternoon, past sunset. The sky beyond the castle walls has turned orange, but I barely notice it. My mind keeps moving between two things. Marissa and Zach. Zach's last words echo in my head now the moment we reach the castle.I might have to kill you.I have no idea whether he meant it. Maybe I'll find out before the night is over.The plan is to head over to the Academy, wash up, then go see Marissa.I've forgotten that I'm staying in the castle for now. No, that's not entirely true. I remember. I just thought I was only supposed to spend last night here.Apparently, the Alpha King has other plans.He insists we eat an early dinner together before I'm allowed to go anywhere else. And twenty minutes after our arrival, I'm sitting across from him and Kerris at the royal dining table.The meal is quiet with only the sound of cutlery.Zach and Kerris exchange looks every now and then, sometimes following them with a min

    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

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
