All Chapters of Claimed by the Alpha Beast: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kerris POV"Where's the temp?" Zach catches sight of me as soon as he asks the question.“Here she is,” Mary replies.This is it. Time for the meeting I've been dreading and waiting for this past two days. I enter the reception and greet, "Good afternoon, your majesty.""Sure is," he responds, then walks into his office.I consider following him, but he didn't give the order, so I stand there awkwardly, waiting to be told what to do. Then Mary says,"Here, take this,” she hands me some papers. “Get three copies each. His majesty will sign them today. You know my vacation starts tomorrow, right? There's a few more things to show you, so hurry.""Yes, ma'am.”Another hour goes by with no word from Zach. We have a brief conference call with a partner outside the city. Then with another within the Kingdom. I keep expecting him to call me into his office so we can talk, but he doesn't. The day is proving quite busy. Maybe it's a bad time to talk personal business. His manner remains cool

Zach POVWhen she swallows and licks her lips, something moves inside me, like my wolf has come closer to the surface. I check my hands under the table to confirm they're normal. She braces herself to reply, setting the tea cup down gently."I know that the former king betrayed us," she says. "He entered an alliance with the south. Signed away our rare earth minerals and natural gas. Our lands were overrun by foreigners exporting our resources while hunger and famine persisted. People believed the Alpha King was compromised. That he was under some kind of a spell. They revolted. The south came to his rescue. That led to war. You and our warriors won. Dad's wolf has been in and out of the hospital since then. "In other words, she knows only surface details like everyone else except the two closest people to me. "The south had a sorceress she-wolf,” I begin my tale. “She claims to be a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess. It's why they were so strong. They terrorized all the lands.

Tyrel (Third-person POV)Tyrel is beginning to doubt that his Gamma, Curtis, will ever wake up. He knows he's not the only one who thinks so. Pack elders have begin to grumble about the lack of progress in catching the attacker.His father insists it's the unknown creature, and wants him to set up a secret warrior forces for a secret hunting mission. Tyrel is considering the idea despite the Alpha King's order. He plans on setting it up tonight. He will do that after Kerris comes and leaves the villa. She must come to him tonight. He's been in his office since he got back from the Meadows. As he recalls the look on her face earlier, he balls his fist. Her eyes held no emotion when she looked at him. Not even hurt. It's uncle Zach's fault. He's part of the reason she thinks she can do without him now. Ty can't wait for twenty-eight days to go by, so she can be done with the stupid temp job.Gavin knocks and enters his office."What did you find?" He barks.His reply is the same büll

Kerris POV“They haven't seen you around the Moon Shadow. You didn't go to your other job,” Zach says.I hold the phone to my ear, wondering who is ‘they.’ Did he send someone to look for me or did he call the Chemist? "I'm in the clinic," I reply. "What clinic? What happened?"I refuse to tell him I fainted. He doesn't have to know my personal business. Plus, I’m feeling fine now. “Kerris?”"I'm about to leave the towers.""Wait there. Milo will come get you." He hangs up before I can protest.The idea of seeing him causes warm anticipation to rise inside me. Going to him is far more appealing that returning to the pack and having Alpha Ty send for me.I look at the time and still can't believe I was unconscious for four whole hours. What kind of stress could have caused that. I've known stress before and have never passed out from it.I slip the phone back in my purse and consider getting back on the bed to wait patiently for Zach's person. He'd said we’ll meet his doctor tonigh

Kerris POV Rather than worry, Zach breathes a deep sigh of relief and says, "That's good news. Glad to know I didn't kill another one of our own." "If he saw your face, he'll talk, your majesty," Henry remarks. “Not that I wish him death, but this could be a problem.” "I'll have to find a way around it, then. Justin, let me know as soon as Caleb finishes with him." "Sure thing. I've asked him to call immediately." The meal continues silently with Zach occasionally looking from me to my plate whenever I pause eating. I can't imagine what will happen if Tyrel's Gamma knows he's the beast and tells everyone. It could throw the Kingdom into chaos. The south would call us hypocrites, accusing our Alpha King of sorcery. They could attempt a revolt and dethronement. I think about his reaction when I asked about the ‘demon’ wolf's name. It’s clear that he's not being entirely honest. Maybe I'll ask him again when it's just us. Justin's phone starts ringing again. He doesn't le
