All Chapters of Claimed by the Outcast Alpha: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

[Soren]  The dungeon was filthy, suffocatingly hot, and saturated with the metallic scent of blood. Judging by the rough stone walls and rusted iron bars, I was deep beneath the Blackwood Pack House. Every instinct my wolf had screamed that this place was meant to break prisoners. My chest tightened at the thought of Gwen. By now, she was the wife of Alpha Derrick’s eldest son. ‘I was such a fool.’ “Bring your Alpha to me,” I growled at the warrior standing guard. Heavy silver shackles encircled my wrists, with long chains fastening them to the stone wall, their weight dragging at my arms and sapping my strength. An iron collar lined with inward-facing spikes was locked around my neck, preventing me from shifting into my wolf. The instant I tried to shift, the razor-sharp spikes would pierce my throat. Even now, they scraped agai

A chill of unease raced down my spine as Circe fixed me with a cold, predatory stare. Her eyes narrowed, piercing straight through me as though searching for the slightest hint of weakness, a hunter sizing up its prey before the attack. Even so, I stood my ground and steeled my resolve. Enzo had told me he was meeting Virel, and judging by Circe’s sudden appearance, she had chosen his absence as the perfect opportunity to come after me. “What do you want?” I asked, my voice steady despite the pounding of my heart. “If you came here to kill me, don’t expect me to make it easy.” Smoke curled around her outstretched hand, thickening until it solidified into a gleaming sword. A low snarl escaped her lips as she launched herself at me, striking without a moment’s hesitation. I caught her wrist just before the blade could slice my body and twisted it hard enough to force the weapon away.&nbs

Enzo’s fingers twitched, and his grip slowly loosened. He released me, then threw his head back with a tortured roar that tore through the air. It was raw with pain, and for a fleeting moment, I knew it wasn’t Virel behind that sound but Enzo himself. His eyes flashed back to their familiar emerald green before the violet darkness consumed them again, as if he were fighting Virel for control of his own body. “Gwen, I’m sorry…” he said, his voice breaking beneath Virel’s control. “This is all my fault!” A fierce howl ripped from his throat, as if something inside him was tearing him apart. “You must kill Gwen!” Circe shouted harshly. “Take her life now!” Enzo’s eyes shifted again, no trace of his humanity left. He lunged forward and seized my neck. But I didn’t resist. I was too tired… too drained to keep fighting not just

Quiet tears streamed down my face as the weight of my failures crashed over me. “Because Gwen was too tired, exhausted by my lies… she was no longer happy with me. Betrayal after betrayal…” A broken sob escaped me before I could continue. “All I ever saw in her eyes was disappointment… I saw it that day she asked me to leave everything behind and run away from our role in the pack… She wanted a simple life in the human world… just the two of us, away from everything. I should have said yes…” I swallowed hard. “But I couldn’t. I couldn’t take her away from her friends, from everything she knew and end up tied to me.” My chest tightened painfully. My wolf stirred weakly inside me, already breaking, even though there was nothing left in me to split apart. “When she rejected the bond, all I thought was that s

The moon hung high above us, bathing the clearing in silver light. This date with Zev should have been perfect, so I forced myself to push every thought of Diana from my mind. I refused to let anything ruin tonight. “I’m really happy to see you,” Zev said, taking my hand. But almost immediately, his expression darkened. “Anyway, Lucian keeps investigating the security breach that happened during his mating ceremony. He suspects I’m a traitor, thinks I should never have allowed the Ravencrest pack to get inside our territory.” I didn’t know what to say. “He’s so focused on me when there are plenty of other members he should be investigating instead!” He exhaled heavily before shaking his head. “Forget it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” I managed a small smile. I didn’t want to think about Lucian either. Every time his name crossed my mind, Gwen’s face inevitably followed, stirring an ache I couldn’t quite bury. A cool breeze swept through the clearing, lifting the edge of
