All Chapters of Claimed By Alpha Xander Marco: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Xander's POV There was only the groans of injured warriors remained on the battlefield. The grass was stained with blood in dark spots, and the odor of death was thick in the air, as thick as a blanket that swallowed it up.I turned back into my human form, my chest heaving with fatigue.My phone shook around 3 times suddenly. At last, all that noise got my attention diverted from the battle-field. I pulled it from my pocket and glanced at the screen.Atlanta General Hospital.It just made my stomach turn seeing it. A cold feeling crawled down my spine but without hesitation, I answered.Speak!" I said firmly.The voice that greeted me sounded nervous."Alpha Xander?""Yes."The nurse had a great, audible swallow before speaking again."We have an emergency."All my muscles went stiff in an instant. My heartbeat slowed."What emergency?" I spoke mildly, my voice barely audible.She paused for a few moments and then spoke. And my entire world stopped turning hearing her voice."The tw

Bella's POVI couldn't stop crying. No matter how hard I tried, the tears just kept coming.My entire body shook as sobs tore through my chest. My throat burned. My eyes hurt. My breathing was uneven and gasping making my tummy ache worse.Everything had happened so fast. One moment I had been happy. The next moment my babies were gone.I pressed a trembling hand against my mouth and cried harder.I felt that the hospital room was cold to me. My eyes drifted toward the small bassinets beside my bed which was empty.My heart shattered all over again. I let out another broken sob.How did this happen? How? It was very difficult to recall everything vividly.My mind felt foggy. I recalled feeding the twins. I remembered feeling exhausted afterward, then I had fallen asleep.Or maybe I had collapsed, everything after that felt blurry. It was worse than a nightmare I don't recall.I squeezed my eyes shut, then something flashed through my mind.A figure that passed, my eyes snapped open th

Xander's POVThe past two weeks had seemed like a dream.First time in years waking up every morning without immediately having to think about pack problems, business meetings, border attacks, enemies waiting to stab me in the back.Instead, I woke up thinking about Bella and our children. But that alone still didn't feel right.I sat in my personal study, behind my desk, at the private study in the Atlanta mansion and was looking at papers that had not been touched in nearly two decades.My attention wasn't on the reports. It wasn't on the financial projections. It wasn't on the security updates from Nightmare Pack.It was up there with them. A small smile threatened to appear on my face.I immediately pushed it away, then my phone rang.Quickly looked at the screen. And immediately frowned.Mother.The smile disappeared, my jaw tightened.I hadn't spoken to her in months. The last conversation we had ended badly which I decided I had walked away.She had told me never to come near h

Xander's POVThe moment Bella mentioned Lucian's name, I noticed the change in her immediately.So small most people would have missed it. But I didn't for me not anymore. Not after spending all those days watching her. Not after seeing how her eyes turned to a fluttery pool of compassion when she looked at our children.After she knew the difference between a real smile and the fake one she used when she was hurting.The light went out of her face. Tons of tension settled on her shoulders. And her fingers slowly twisted together in her lap.The way the movement was done looked harmless. But it wasn't, It was just nervousness in pain.Something she has done without realising a lot of years ago.I sat beside her on the long cream-colored couch in the living room while the twins slept peacefully nearby. The nursery door remained slightly open, and every now and then I could hear one of the nannies moving quietly inside.The afternoon sunlight poured through the enormous glass windows. T

Asma's POVI couldn't feel my legs anymore, I had spent days inside that dungeon. Days of darkness and pain.And now I was left there, at the border, like garbage that was finally thrown away.The cold wind blew against my face, carrying the scent of the forest around me.Behind me was Nightmare Pack and ahead of me was nothing. Only bare roads and trees.I looked at the boundary markers for awhile. The pack I saw myself becoming Luna in, the place where I dreamed I walked next to Xander one day. The same community I pictured creating a life for myself.Now I wasn't even allowed to step inside again, my chest tightened painfully and a bitter laugh escaped my lips."Look at you, Asma," I whispered hoarsely. "Look what you've become living in dungeon"My voice sounded strange and broken. I don't even recognize it myself!I looked down at my trembling hands, bruises still covered my wrists from the chains.My body ached from the beatings, the torture had weakened me. Not on me though.B
