Kerris POV

Mary Dawson's email arrived the same day of the interview. She offered me the role, and I turned it down. It's the smart thing to do because Zach will surely find out my secret if I start spending a good deal of the day with him.

Mary had called to confirm if the email I replied her was a mistake. She'd gone from shock to pure annoyance when I told her I couldn't take the job. I don't blame her. No one in their right mind would turn down such a massive opportunity.

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   04: Far from the river

    Marissa POVI thought they're finally giving up. That the search is finally over, and it's time to move. I'm just about to rise from where I'm crouched when my wolf announces him. Her soft whimpers echo through my soul.Caden Hyde. Or Caden Stone. Whatever last name he goes by these days. Soon everyone would call him by the powerful one. Stone.After all, that's who he truly is. Not the bãstard kid everyone whispered about. Not anymore.He carries Alpha blood. The future ruler of a pack. Possibly River Howl. A male important enough to have a Luna and a breeder.The thought hollows something inside me. My mouth turns bitter again.Maybe he'll be relieved when he finds out I'm dead.I rest my forehead against the rough bark of the tree and close my eyes for a moment. His presence drifts closer, and my wolf protests the hiding, wanting to go to him. For two weeks, he'd stayed away from his own fancy house because I now live in it. Now he's searching for me? I don't understand.And

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   03: Fractured hearts

    Caden POVAt the mention of my mate, I turn away and motion for Mom to move.If I stay another second and Gareth says one more word about Marissa, I might attack him. I don't trust myself.Thankfully, mom doesn't argue. Neither does Gareth. He simply follows behind, keeping a respectable distance as Mom and I make our way back to River Howl.The journey is excruciatingly slow. The older male's presence alone is enough to suffocate me.From the moment I turned twelve, Gareth Stone poisoned my friendship with Marissa Blue. He trimmed my circle of friends, telling me I was no ordinary kid and it was time I chose my friends carefully."As an Alpha male, the people you surround yourself with are like arrows in your quiver. A weak, frail arrow is useless, and can only weigh you down."A few days after the infuriating heart to heart, I learned he had given the same speech to Marissa, her parents, and even the two low class Gamma boys in my group of friends.I'd refused to let him win.I insi

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   02: The Family

    Caden POVIs someone chasing her?I rushed forward, looking beyond her, extending my senses in search of any troublemaker. The wolves I detect aren't close, but they're near enough for me to tell they aren't ordinary guards."What the hell, Mom?" I bark under my breath."Caden," she says breathlessly. Her cheeks are flushed. "What are you doing beyond River Howl's border?""That's what I should be asking you." I march over until I'm standing directly in front of her, then switch to mindlink.'It's the middle of the night. You can't shift until the full moon. Did you forget? What if you'd run into trouble?'‘Were you sneaking over to the Alpha King's house too?' she links back. 'Mehn! You won't believe what I just saw!'Only now do I notice the excitement beneath the anxiety in her eyes.I brush past her, stretching my senses again to check. No one is approaching."Don't go that way!" She grabs my arm.Too late.The sound of the distant waterfall reaches my ears. Followed by the scent

    01: The Father's HopeGareth (Third-Person POV)The image of the White Wolf refuses to leave Gareth. Magnificent. Beautiful. Standing beside Zach.Not Tyrel.Even as Gareth race through the dense and dark forest, he can still see the girl who should have been his daughter in law. She'd walked beside the Alpha King as though she has always belonged to him. His Luna Queen.Gareth's anger from the last few days have finally settled, especially after seeing the truth with his own eyes. The only thing left to deal with is the resentment.Deep down, he knows exactly who should be blamed, and it's not his little brother. The blame lies with him Gareth. Not Zach.Tyrel did not become that male overnight. Every error Gareth overlooked. All the punishment he softened. All those times he chose sympathy over discipline... These mistakes turned his son into the male he'd become.Gareth had always told himself to go easy. That the child already buried his mother when he was barely two years old.He

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   127: Always and forever

    Kerris POV Yup. I knew it. I'd felt eyes but had refused acknowledge they belong to a werewolf passerby. I'd told myself that they were probably another creature of the woods. In truth, I didn't care. Or more accurately, knowing someone's might be watching had increased the thrill. But that feeling has gone now that the sëx̌ session is over. What's left is embarrassment. Someone had watched me getting fücķed by the Alpha King. I let my head drop on Zach's chest, hiding my face from him. 'It's my fault,' he sighs, smoothing my back. 'I should've been patient till we get home. But they're gone now. They ran away.' 'Do you know who it is?' I ask with my face pressed to his chest still. 'A forest guard. I assume. I'll find out. They're female.' I lift my head. It's less embarrassing knowing that our audience was the same sëx and not a male wolf. "Really? Did you see her face?" "Nope. Why? You want me to punish them for seeing our Queen's round... bubble büťt?"

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   126: Shameless desire

    Keris POV Two massive wolves race close behind me. No matter how fast I go, I don't outrun them. Their hearts and mine beat together. The two are my lover, my mate and my protector. Just as I am theirs. Or his. Both wolves are the Alpha King. It doesn't take long for us to lose the others. His brother's presence was the first to fade. Perhaps Zach told all of them to leave us alone. With my senses, I search for other passing wolves, determined to race another way and avoid them. This time is for mine and Zach's. Thankfully, the path is clear and empty. It's a night of celebration. The wolves who are normally out in the woods on moonless nights like these are the same ones enjoying themselves back at the castle. I don't slow down until I reach my favorite river. It's close to the mountains near the house where I lived this past month. The sight of the waterfall makes me realize how thirsty I am. As I shift to my human form, I feel Zach do the same but don't turn back to look at

    Zach POV I should run towards the woods. The only problem is there's people all around. Someone could see me and get curious. A nosy human security, for instance. They could follow me and get hurt, and I must avoid that.It's not that I feel any compulsion to shift, but it's safer to get away from

    Kerris POV For a split second after Zach gives me the horrible news, I consider falling on my knees in front of him. To beg him to buy me for the night, anyway. It's at the tip of my tongue to say I'll do whatever he asks if he'll just keep me from going to the Den like he has done the past week.
