All Chapters of Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Arielle. The room was cloaked in shadow with. the single lamp I usually relied on extinguished hours ago. I hunched over my textbooks with notes sprawled across the small desk scribbling formulas and diagrams as quietly as possible. Every line I wrote was a promise to myself and a reminder that even if Kael wanted to reduce me to a piece of property or a walking mistake I would not lose myself. I had to think of the baby yes but I had to think of my future too. If I failed my medical training now, I would lose everything and not just him and not just the pack but the life I had clawed my way toward for years.I’d turned off the light pretending I was asleep because that was what Kael wanted. The rules he had laid down were suffocating, every word another chain: sleep on time, eat properly, allow his personal doctor to monitor every vital and never under any circumstances do anything that could risk the child’s health. It wasn’t about me really but it was about his legacy and about

Kael. He came in with his head down expecting maybe a scolding or maybe a word. He didn’t expect the cold that settled over the private office. I had the lamps low and the shadows long and I let him sit and squirm in that silence for a long minute before I spoke.“Kurt. You lied to me.” I said slow and even knowing he knows what I’m talking about already. He blinked at me. “Alpha -” he started mouth forming the word in the wrong way like he’d already practiced the apology.“You said you didn’t know where she was or who she was. You looked at me and you lied.” I cut in, the words flat. “No I - Alpha, I didn’t know she’d been squatting there.” He hurried his hands trying to seem honest and eyes darting. “She could’ve taken the key, I - I don’t sleep there most nights because I’m at the club. I don’t know. I recently found her clothes there.”“You were asked about Scarlet Red. You said no. You lied in my face Kurt. Why?” I said leaning forward my elbows on the desk and fingers stee

Arielle. Later that night after I had stacked my books on the small desk and tried to sort out notes, I heard a sound I will never forget like the clatter of someone being dragged through the hall. At first I thought it was another man being drunk and loud nothing I needed to bother myself with. But then the sound changed like something heavy hitting the floor and there was yelling. Not that soft ans controlled tone Kael used in the office. Not the Alpha’s voice. This was something cold and hard and full of fury.I slipped out of my room because something in me told me to look. I moved quietly down the corridor and peeked around the door. What I saw almost made me drop to my knees.The warrior who had driven me was on his knees in the courtyard with his hands tied behind him. His uniform were muddied ans his face bleeding from a split lip or a rough shove I couldn’t tell. A few guards stood around them their eyes lowered. Kael stood in front of him like a statue come to life, huge

Arielle. I wasn’t even ready for the kind of place I was taken to that afternoon. After lunch one of the maids came to tell me the doctor was waiting, and then I was escorted out of the mansion itself and into a damn car. A whole car ride just to see a clinic inside the Alpha’s property. I swear this place is so big it could be a whole country on its own. I sat there in the back seat hugging my arms like I was about to be taken to prison staring out the window at endless gardens and buildings I hadn’t even noticed before. How the hell could one person own all of this? It made my chest hurt in a weird way. I felt so small. Like an ant walking around in a giant’s palace.When we finally stopped, I almost laughed because the building looked like something out of those fancy hospital dramas. Wide glass doors, white walls that practically screamed don’t you dare touch me with your dirty hands and this sterile coldness that just seeped into my skin. Inside it smelled like lemons and dis

Arielle. I don’t even know how to explain it properly because words don’t seem big enough but the moment Kael said I could go back to school something inside of me cracked open like a shell that had been closed for too long. It was like my lungs finally remembered how to breathe after weeks of drowning in his cold stares and suffocating rules and the way the whole mansion pressed down on me like a damn weight on my chest. I sat there at the dining table, fork in my hand food cooling on my plate and my head spun with just that single word he dropped so carelessly: Go.He hadn’t even looked at me properly when he said it. His phone was pressed to his ear and his voice sharp as knives as he argued about a deal numbers and alliances and threats slipping out of his mouth like it was more important than me. Maybe it was. To him I was probably nothing compared to a pack falling apart. But still he said yes. He allowed me!!!! It didn’t matter if it came out like a command instead of permis
