Claimed by the Damned Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Prologue: The Last GoodbyeIt all began on my 13th birthday… the day my parents left for war and never came back.It was also the day I stopped believing the moon was on my side.I stood by the doorway, my ears straining to catch what my parents were whispering, and hid my little frame as I watched them whisper in hushed tones."If we don't go for this war, we will no longer have a place in the pack; they will all look down on us and on our kids, and they will be turned into a laughingstock," my father said, holding onto my mother's chin like it was the most delicate thing he had ever laid his eyes on, my eyes following his every movement."Do you think I care if the pack laughs at us or not? This war is great; we can't fight it, we are going to fight over some damn Moon Sundering, a place where no one has ever set foot. What if we come back dead?" My mother whispered; her voice sounded broken."We have no choice; we are among the best warriors the pack has. We need to defend our pack

CHAPTER 2: MarkedMy heart shattered into pieces, every fiber of me breaking at the sudden realization—my life was filth, and I wasn't meant to be happy.'He hates us. He despises us.' My wolf whispered. I could hear her sharp intake and could feel her pain coursing through me like ice water.For a second, it felt like I saw something shift in Desmond's eyes, like he had recognized something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, burning with an intensity that was the complete opposite of what he'd had when I called him mate."Hello, mate. I'm so sorry; I was just shocked at the fact that you are my mate." His voice vibrated through the walls of the party, sending everyone gasping and shocked at the sudden turn of events. My wolf stirred uneasily inside me, not comfortable and not trusting his words. There was something about him, this energy he gave off, that made me want to back away."No! You can't do this to me, Father! Alpha Philip, you can't allow him to be mates with this wretched, wolfle

Chapter 4: The Alpha King's ArrivalThe next morning, I was dragged from my cell by two guards who looked at me like I was diseased."Clean her up," one of them barked to a maid waiting in the corridor. "The Alpha King arrives today, and she needs to look... presentable."Presentable. Like I was a piece of meat they were preparing for slaughter.They threw me into a bathing chamber where three maids waited with buckets of scalding water and rough brushes. They scrubbed my skin raw, not caring when I winced from the pain of the rejection mark on my neck."Disgusting," one of them muttered, pouring water over my head so hard it felt like stones hitting my skull. "Can't believe the Alpha King would want this... thing."When they were done torturing me with their version of cleaning, they shoved a white dress at me. It was beautiful—silk and lace, with long sleeves that would hide the bruises on my arms. But it felt like a burial shroud."Here," another maid said, roughly grabbing my neck.

Chapter 6: Crossing Into LuxuryAVELINEI stared between him and Desmond, wondering what was going on, but I chose to remain silent. Who am I to speak? I thought. And then, he looked at me, his voice sharp and calculated."We are leaving... Kitten."His last word shocked me to the core as I stared at him with shock. I never expected him to call me that... I couldn't find the right words to use. When I turned to look at Desmond, I could see the same shock on his face and then something else, which looked like anger... jealousy.As the alpha king pushed the door open, waiting for me to pass by, I gave Desmond another glance, which, for some reason, emitted a growl from the alpha, again shocking me.The moment I stepped out, I felt like the entire pack was out, waiting for me. Among them, I could see my brother Ren standing in the forefront, his eyes looking pained but immediately looking scared. I turned back, wondering what must have made him scared, and when I looked, it was the alpha

Chapter 8: Haunted by GhostsTHORNEThe moment I stepped out of her room, I moved in the opposite direction to my quarters. Fuck, for some reason, my wolf wanted her, and I didn't like that shit one bit.'Stop resisting...'Caelum growled in my head, pacing like a caged animal."Shut the fuck up," I snarled back at him. "She's nothing. Just another plaything."But even as I said it, I knew it was a lie. The moment I'd seen her face in that throne room three days ago, standing there in that white dress like some sacrificial lamb, my blood had run cold.She looked exactly like her. Same delicate features, same fucking green doe eyes that used to look at me with fear and disgust. The only difference between them was their hair—Lydia was a dark-haired bitch, and she... she was a ginger-haired omega, and I'd show her place.Lydia... Fuck.The Moon Goddess was a cruel bitch.'She's not Lydia,' Caelum whined, and I wanted to rip him out of my chest for even defending her."No shit," I growle
