All Chapters of Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince: Chapter 351 - Chapter 360

I couldn’t get attached to Kiara. I wanted to drown myself in her smell and hold her close to me for eternity, but I couldn’t lose myself in desires that would never come to fruition. I couldn’t forget that she wanted nothing to do with me, even if, for passing moments, we became entangled. Making her cum wouldn’t change the fact that she still hated me.Against my better judgment, I was still pissed off when she rejected me. It hurt worse than I expected it to.At least keeping her in the manor would give me an excuse to stay there instead of the mine. I had just gotten out of the shower, looking forward to sleeping in my own bed for the few hours I had left that night, when my phone rang. It was my father.“Hey,” I answered, clutching the towel around my waist.“Did you capture the girl?” my father asked immediately. A sense of urgency hastened his voice.I hesitated and couldn’t exactly explain why I chose to lie. “No. Tracked her down, she attacked me and ran off again.”David gro

When I woke up, I didn’t know how much time had passed. There was no indication of the time of day in the cold room that I was kept in, no windows, no clock, just sterile buzzing light. My body was stiff from being cramped in the cage, and my shoulder hurt from lying on my side.Stretching my limbs in the little space I had, I sat up on my knees and stared blearily into the room, listening for evidence that somebody might be nearby. Not that anybody in this house would help me. But if Colt was around, there was a chance it would give me another opportunity to try to escape.There was only stillness. I sighed, my shoulders sagging in dismay.But the disappointment accompanying the stillness was so much heavier than I anticipated. It struck me like a freight train, the weight of some intangible sadness I couldn’t describe. My heart became lead and dragged me to the floor, where I lay and stared into nothingness, letting tears bubble up from my eyes and roll down my cheeks. Vivid empath

That day, I hadn’t been allowed to leave the mine. Not to go to work, not to return to the manor to check on Kiara, not even to hunt or retreat into my thoughts in solitude. The atmosphere turned tense and strange. Lothair’s mate Sibyelle was dead, and their daughter, who was yet to be named, was clearly suffering in the dark, damp atmosphere of the mine.All I’d been allowed to do was take a shower come nightfall. With my hair still wet, I made my way through the tunnels and into the room where I usually found my father working, only this time, my father sat at the table, papers scattered in the disinterest of work, with the infant in his arms. My skin prickled at the sight of the little girl, thin-limbed, pale, and finally quiet, swaddled in a grey microfiber blanket without clothes. My father’s downcast stare instantly ignited accusations in the vein of his adoption of Billie. I wanted to take the little girl from him and hide her far away from his lecherous intentions.“Has Lothai

Trudging back to where my pack had been hiding, I could only think of the celestial creature I had seen earlier. I couldn’t shake her from my thoughts. So pale and perfect; it was like she’d been glowing in the starlight. So beautiful, her angular visage and shining horn promised that in humanity she was even more stunning than her beast. Everything about her, from her smell to her mere posture, captivated me. And I had tried to hurt her.Resorting to solitude once more, I didn’t bother checking in with the dragons. They could handle themselves. I went straight through Dalesbloom territory south and then considered deviating, stalling so that I wouldn’t have to explain myself to my father. I would have to return eventually, though. Best to just get it over with.By sunrise, I followed the scents of my packmates right to the heart of where all three territories merged. In the center of Dalesbloom territory, close to the southern borders but north of the junction of Grandbay and Eastpea

Or how David is planning to slaughter my mom and me for our horns?” added Kiara.I immediately regretted taunting Kiara. Our physical proximity made me stupid with lust, even in front of the other girls and Muriel, holding the baby in my arms, despite everything they had all gone through because of my father’s greed. Guilt made me purse my lips and grumble, taking a step away from them all. “Fine, I get it.”“Why don’t you just fuck off, Colt?” growled Aislin.I opened my mouth to protest, glancing at Billie, who I thought was most likely to understand how very little I wanted to be involved in this.She just huffed and shook her head, disappointed in me.For a minute, I lingered wordlessly, then let my shoulders sink. I wanted badly to apologize for everything, to appeal to them and promise that I didn’t want any of this to happen. I wanted to search for a solution and help them escape. But with the two dragon shifter guards breathing down my neck, there was nothing I could do or say
