Lahat ng Kabanata ng CLAIMED BY THE COLD-HEARTED ALPHA: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Ashen's POVThe smile on his face remained, yet I couldn’t shake the fear stirred by his sharp, cold gaze. He helped me up gently, then pulled me into a firm embrace as he pointed at Alpha Lior and the others, still kneeling in submission.“He’s mine now. Ashen no longer belongs to you, Alpha Lior!”Thunder rumbled in the distance as if echoing his declaration.“Take care of them,” he commanded.His voice boomed again, and this time he led me away from Alpha Lior and his pack members.Seven tall, broad-shouldered men appeared behind him, their expressions just as stone-cold. I turned to look at them moving toward Alpha Lior, but he tilted my head away.“There’s no need for you to see those who’ve made your life a living hell, Ashen. My men will make sure they regret it.”I stared up at him. He smirked and raised a brow.“Move.”A shout came from behind. I reflexively turned and saw Alpha Lior and his group being forced into a large black minibus.I hesitated, then mustered the courage

Ashen’s POVThe presence of this woman honestly made me uncomfortable. Not because of jealousy, but my gut was screaming that I was about to be dragged into a drama I knew nothing about.“You… are you a new member?” the woman asked me.“You don’t need to talk to him. I’ll meet you in the back garden shortly,” Grayson interrupted, pulling my arm.We left the woman behind, who was now grinning widely and yelling, “Yes, My Alpha!”I heard a long howl from behind us—the woman had shifted into her wolf form and left.“Don’t mind her. You’ll still be my Eclipse.”Grayson looked at me intently, as if trying to convince me of his words.“I don’t understand what’s going on between you two, Alpha Grayson, but that woman clearly needs your help…”“Yes, and I’ll gladly help her resolve whatever she’s going through,” Grayson said, winking slyly.“Alpha Grayson!”Three guards bowed as they welcomed us at the mansion’s front door.“And Eclipsar Ashen!” Grayson declared firmly.The three guards immed

GRAYSON’S POVThe moment Ashen disappeared behind the wall of guests, I felt my wolf pacing violently inside my chest, his growls scraping along the edges of my mind with agitation. Morvek had never been this restless unless there was danger close enough to touch. The presence of that arrogant former mate of mine was enough to poison the air around Ashen, and my patience was already hanging by a single thin thread that threatened to snap at any moment.I pushed past several alphas who attempted to greet me, ignoring their forced politeness as their eyes flicked between my face and the direction Ashen disappeared. Their curiosity irritated me, but nothing compared to the simmering rage that grew when I caught the scent of the man who dared speak to my mate without permission.He stood beside a pillar, arms folded, smirking as if he expected me to come. His silver hair looked too immaculate for someone who used to beg for my attention, and his stance screamed provocation that irritated

GRAYSON’S POVI walked down the corridor with sharp, measured steps, each footfall echoing through the stone halls like an unspoken threat. The guards ahead parted immediately when they sensed my approach, their eyes dropping in fear and obedience. I could feel Morvek prowling violently inside me, claws scraping against the walls of my mind as he pushed to the surface.“He dares enter my territory,” Morvek snarled. “Let me tear him apart, Grayson.”“Not yet,” I muttered under my breath, eyes fixed on the courtyard door. “But soon enough.”I pushed the heavy door open, and cold night air rushed into my face. The sky above Graveshade was blacker than ink, with clouds hiding the moon like a veil trying to restrain its light. The courtyard was filled with guards, all of them positioned in a wide circle. In the center stood the intruder.Lior.He looked nothing like the smug alpha who once strutted through Grimrest territory with arrogance dripping from every word. His clothes were torn, h

GRAYSON’S POVThe moment Ashen collapsed against me, trembling with the lingering echo of that ancient voice, something cold and furious settled deep inside my chest. I held him firmly, feeling the faint shakes that rippled through his shoulders, and every instinct I possessed screamed for me to tear apart whatever dared crawl into his mind. Morvek prowled beneath my skin with impatience, growling in a low, vicious rumble that vibrated along my spine.“He felt too close,” Morvek hissed. “That thing—Solven—he was almost here. He nearly surfaced.”“I know,” I answered silently, tightening my grip on Ashen. “But he didn’t win.”Ashen’s breathing slowly steadied, though the tremor in his hands remained. I pulled back just enough to see his face, his eyes still glossed with the remnants of fear and confusion. His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to speak, but no words came out.“You’re safe,” I said firmly. “I won’t let him force his way out. Not tonight.”Ashen blinked, his voice bar
