Lahat ng Kabanata ng Craved By The Alpha Beast : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The earlier music still echoed in Nyra's head as she slipped behind the curtains backstage. Her breath came in light gasps, but she masked it with a proud smile. The adrenaline from the stage still shimmered in her skin. The stares. Fuck, those eyes–how could someone look at her like that?“Nyra!” Madam Vexa's voice called out before Nyra appeared on the hallway corner past the other females preparing for their shows.Vexa stood with her signature cigarette between two fingers, her silver hair raised in a bun, and her tight black dress hugged her frame that intimidated men half her age. She exhaled smoke through her nose, smirking.“Now that's how you keep men coming back. You lit up that stage tonight, baby girl. Just as you always do.” Nyra forced a smile. “Thanks, Vexa.”The older woman waved an envelope at her. “Your pay and some bonus for tonight. You performed very well, and someone special saw you dance.”Nyra's smile wavered. “Someone special?”“VIP guests initially. I reser

Madam Vexa didn't speak as she handed Nyra over. Though she communicated with her through her eyes before Nyra went off.Alpha Kael stood waiting just outside the club's underground corridor with Alaric in a black SUV. He didn't say a word when Nyra walked out. Alaric simply opened the door for them and they climbed in.Her fingers tightened on her thighs. Her heart hammered in her chest. It wasn't the desire she'd felt, but vengeance.She'd heard lots of rumors. Though she lived among humans in the city, she had moved down to the particular region for a purpose. She'd heard that it was Alpha Kael's pack who had hunted rogues a few years ago.And her mother, whom the moon goddess had blessed with her fierce outcast soul, had never returned from the hunt.Now Nyra was close enough to destroy the man she suspected might have ripped her family apart. The SUV sped through the moonlit roads. Neither of them spoke any way except for Alaric who kept glancing at Nyra from the rearview mirror

Nyra didn’t know what to expect when the guards dragged her out of the chamber room. As they walked, Kael's words still echoed in her head like a curse. Then be mine. Seriously? She scoffed inwardly. Instead of the cold stone dungeon or the sting of another slap, they pushed open a heavy door and tossed her inside a large, dimly lit room. The floor was smooth and clean. The bed was massive, its sheets plain and untouched. Nyra was confused. She stumbled forward and turned slowly. The door slammed shut behind her. She blinked, breath catching in her throat. “This... isn't the dungeon?” It was a private room. Nyra had expected Kael to throw her into the dungeon like Madam Vexa after she didn't reply to his demand to become his sex slave. She began pacing the room. Her thoughts chased themselves in circles. ‘Why hasn’t he killed me yet? What is he planning?’ Her body ached, her cheek still stung, but the fear had dulled into confusion. She couldn't be a sex slave to her enemy!

Steam oozed out of the tub and water trickled down Nyra's bare back, glistening over every curve as she stepped out. The scent of rose oils trailed behind her. Just as she left the bathroom, she heard the door creak without a knock. Her spine snapped straight when she saw who it was–Alpha Kael.He strode in causally, his hands dipped in his pockets. Nyra's jaw clenched as she clutched the towel tighter around her body, but she didn't shrink back. She stood on her spot, damp strands of hair falling against her cheeks. Their eyes locked.Kael's eyes drank her in slowly and something shifted in him. His gaze never left hers as he suddenly felt hard. “I wasn't expecting you,” Nyra's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “I can say the same. I wasn't expecting to find you this…” he trailed, his eyes taking her in again. “This way.”He walked forward with deliberate steps. His lips twitched into a knowing smirk. “Or did you plan this?”Nyra's gaze lowered. She couldn't stand the way sh

Mate?!The word registered in Nyra's head just as Kael suddenly stormed out of the room.How could he be her mate?That was impossible.And why the hell did he leave like that?Nyra had so many questions. She paced to and fro until the door burst open and a male figure appeared.“Get back to your room.”She nodded slowly and strode out as the man behind her led her back and shut the door.Her hands hurt, and her lips were still swollen from the savage kiss earlier. She could swear she’d felt something pull them apart…but what?And mate? Was the moon goddess messing with her?A few moments later, when the coast was clear, Nyra silently pushed the door open and slipped out. She glanced at the little map in her hands. Fortunately, it was stolen from Kael without his notice.Walking carefully, and avoiding the guards, Nyra reached the lower archive hall according to the map. The scent of old parchment and dust wrapped around her like a shroud.Inside, shelves filled with records dating ba
