All Chapters of Craved By The Alpha Beast : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The dungeon doors groaned as they opened, a chilling screech echoing through the hollow corridor. The place was dark. The guards shoved Nyra inside, her feet dragging against the damp stones. Her body was already battered, her mind dazed. Everything happened too fast. First, she was just in her room eating and next she was framed for almost killing one of the servants. “Please…don't do this,” she begged as she turned around, her voice barely above a whisper, raw from pain and disbelief.The only reply was the clang of the iron gate slamming shut. The lock twisted in place with a brutal finality.She collapsed onto the cold floor like discarded rubbish, her torn gown clinging to her blood-smeared skin. Her injured shoulder pulsed painfully. She still couldn't believe this. She was being punished. No one even believed. Of course, why would they?Nyra's fingers curled into the dirt. “Zara,” she whispered. But her wolf was quiet, dulled by exhaustion.Time passed like shadows. Nyra was

The wind hissed through the trees as Nyra ran as fast as she could, barefoot in the woods.Her breath came in ragged gasps, her heart pounding. The cold night wasn’t helping either. Every step sent jolts of pain through her legs, yet she couldn’t stop. She wouldn’t.All she could think about was getting away.She couldn’t stay in Blackfang’s castle while plotting revenge for her dead mother. She had to act.And the first thing she wanted was to make sure someone like him–Alpha Kael–never found her.The ache in her chest was unbearable. Her mind was chaos.Nyra kept running, even when it was clear she didn’t know where she was going.She stumbled over a rock and crashed to the ground, her foot catching on a jagged root.“Ahh!” she gasped, clutching her ankle as hot pain pulsed through it. “Shit.”Tears sprang to her eyes in the midst of the darkness.She stayed low, breathing hard, and praying the trees would hide her. But the moment she caught her breath, a deep, dangerous voice echoe

The first thing Nyra noticed was the warmth of the sheets. Soft and luxurious in a way her body hadn't experienced in months. She shifted slightly, her sore thighs brushing against the cool fabric, and a hiss slipped past her lips. Her eyes snapped open, disoriented.This was her room. It wasn't the hellhole Kael had thrown her into when he captured her. This was a proper bed–his bed.She sat up, suddenly aware of her nakedness under the covers. Her breath hitched when her gaze found him. Alpha Kael Draven.He was shirtless, standing in front of a mirror table as he brushed a hand through his damp black hair. His eyes locked hers through the reflection. They were suddenly cold. Unlike last night.Nyra stiffened.What was this?He turned slightly. “You’re not going to bathe?”Her lips parted, but she couldn't speak. The way he stood–his tattooed back flexing, his V-line disappearing into the black pants he wore made wetness pool low in her stomach. She hated how good he looked. How h

The car ride was deathly silent.Nyra stared out the window, her reflection against the glass as the city lights flickered past. Her hand still tingled right where Kael had kissed her palm like a damn claim.The moment the car pulled into the Blackfang Pack castle courtyard, Nyra opened the door and stepped out without a word. The wind hit her bare thighs, reminding her once again that she wasn't wearing panties. And whose fault was that?She stormed toward the entrance, ignoring the murmuring maids. Their eyes dropped to the dress she wore, and their gossip grew louder.Halfway up the stairs, Rheya appeared out of nowhere.“Well,” she drawled, crossing her arms under her chest. “looks like someone had fun tonight.”Nyra barely glanced her. She was too exhausted to speak. “I mean, for a rogue, you do clean up nice. Not bad.” Rheya continued. Nyra paused in her tracks and turned, her voice low. “You want to have something to say, Rheya?”Rheya's lips twitched. “Plenty. But unfortunat

Alaric pulled up in the healer’s courtyard, and Nyra was quickly taken out.Kael, holding her in his arms, pushed open the door.The pack healers flinched, startled by the sudden burst and the imposing presence of their Alpha.“Where the heck is Elora?” Kael thundered, his voice so loud they flinched again.A beat passed.Then Elora–the same healer who had treated Nyra before, the same one Rheya had forced to give her a concoction–stepped forward with trembling hands.“Elora, I need you to do everything you can to save her,” Kael barked. “She’s barely breathing.”Elora moved swiftly to prepare a bed, and Nyra, unconscious, was gently placed on it. Blood still spilled from her face.Kael’s chest tightened as he watched Elora and two other healers attend to her.He couldn’t bear to stay any longer. He turned and walked out to where Alaric stood waiting.The moment he reached his car, he kicked the tire furiously.“Alpha,” Alaric called, reaching for him. “That’s enough. You don't have t
