All Chapters of CLAIMED BY DARK ALPHA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

- Maive's POV -"Are you… a werewolf?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.Tobias froze. His eyes darted to mine, wide, uncertain, guilty. "M-Maive…" His voice cracked.That was all I needed. The hesitation, the stutter, the way his shoulders stiffened. He didn’t even have to say the word. I already knew.My chest tightened as if someone had pierced it with a blade. I pushed myself up from the bench, my legs weak but my anger stronger. "All this time?!" The words ripped from me louder than I intended, loud enough to echo in the night.Tobias flinched. He reached toward me, but I stepped back. "Maive, please—""Don’t you dare," I snapped, my voice trembling with betrayal. "You were my only friend. My family. We grew up together. We shared everything. And all this time, you were hiding something this big from me?"Tears burned my eyes, blurring him in front of me. The pain in my chest twisted into something ugly, something sharp. "You never even tried to tell me once. Not once!"His jaw

My mouth fell open at the sound of my father’s name. For a few seconds, my body refused to move, as if the world had frozen around me. When I finally managed to breathe again, I nearly floated out of my seat. The air felt too heavy, pressing down on me until Gabriela kicked my foot, snapping me back into my own skin.“He’s… my f-father, Sir,” I stammered, my voice breaking under the weight of disbelief. My throat felt tight, the words catching as though even they refused to leave my lips. Shock numbed me, yet every heartbeat hammered against my ribs. My father never had friends. No one ever visited our lonely village. He had only us, his family, and the soil beneath his calloused hands. How could someone here, in this prestigious university, possibly know him?Sir Alejo’s eyes widened at my confession, but he merely nodded, almost solemn. “So he built a family after all,” he murmured.I wanted to ask more, wanted to demand answers, but he turned away and continued the lecture, his voi

- Maive's POV -In this place full of werewolves, our family should have lived peacefully. However, my father chose to stay in a place full of humans.I sighed. Looking around, they all looked like normal human beings. They could easily deceive normal human beings too because they looked no different from humans. I must have met several werewolves whom I thought were normal humans. That’s how Tobias and my father had kept their secrets from me.Instead of being distracted by my thoughts, I began to think about everything again while I was surrounded by werewolves who looked like normal beings. I guess I will not be able to escape from my thoughts... not when I have a lot of questions and no one would ever fill them all but my curiosity.Hanging out with Anne and Gabriela just made all my thoughts need to be pondered even more. I didn’t stay long with them as I bid goodbye after some time... I felt like they were only concerned about me, but all I could do was space out in between conv

- Third Person's POV -The Beta and some of his men left after the Lord’s order, leaving their master in deep thought.The Lord stood by the window, staring at the world beyond the walls. His gaze wandered over the horizon, yet his mind was anything but calm. So many issues demanded his attention, so many matters in the Kingdom required his decisions, but none of it could remove the image of the woman from his thoughts.Her face appeared before his eyes as though the glass reflected her instead of the scenery outside. Those lips, so tempting, so soft-looking when she slept, as though they were made to be kissed. The long lashes that brushed her cheeks, the smooth waves of her hair spilling across the pillow, the delicate beauty of her sleeping face—he had been utterly captivated last night. It had taken all his control not to linger beside her until dawn.He pressed his hand against the cold window frame, jaw tightening.This wasn’t like him. He was not a man easily distracted, yet he

I won’t deny the truth. Those three guys who came in were definitely hot and handsome. Even with their uniforms on, they looked like living gods walking into our classroom.But my eyes… my eyes landed on the last guy.He stood out immediately. He had this coldness, this powerful aura that surrounded him like a wall of ice. Everything slowed down when I looked at him. My whole world slowed down. My heart skipped so hard that I swore it almost forgot how to beat properly. His face was cold, emotionless, but so painfully perfect that it sent shivers crawling down my spine.I had told myself earlier that I wouldn’t act like the other students, that I wouldn’t melt or swoon over some guy no matter how handsome he was. But the moment my eyes locked on him, I felt myself swallowing that pride as if it never existed.And then…He glanced at me.It was so quick, maybe only for a second, but it felt like a lightning bolt went through me. My chest tightened. My breath caught. I froze completely,
