Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 57: vendetta .“Get in loser, we’re going shopping,” René said when she pulled up outside the hotel in her red sports car, the top down, hair rustled with the wind, tinted sunglasses pulled down on her nose.Jessica has never seen her this free. “Mean girls?” Jessica said, approaching the car, stopping at the door. “Really?”“What? It’s only the most iconic American movie. Plus, we are going shopping.”“Why?” “Because you asked me to help you fit in, and the first part of that is you need to look the part. Become a chameleon blend. So, we’re getting you some new clothes.” Jessica hesitated, looking at the passenger seat, pushing the rising impulsiveness back down. “What are you waiting for? Get in the car.” “I’ve always wanted to do that thing they do in movies where they don’t open the car door and just jump into the seat but this is the first time I’ve been presented with that opportunity, can I jump into your car yes or no,” She said quic
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 58: anything for her to be liked .She could understand her dislike to an extent, but…this? Trying to directly sabotage Jessica’s relationship with her son by physically separating them and placing Kai next to someone she was well aware was only after the family fortune?It was just a chair, a place at the table, but it spoke volumes that she wanted Eloise at Kai’s side instead of her. His mate. His own girlfriend.But knowing that Kai stood up to her and that Augustine hadn’t even bothered to change the seating warmed his heart too. There were some good people here, she just had to look. “Thank you.”Augustine shrugged. “It’s not a big deal.”“It is to me,” Jessica said, unsure what she would do without Kai by her side during the night. “Alright, where were we?” René asked, rejoining them and passing Augustine a glass with a dark liquid and two ice cubes. “Cocktail party,” Augustine filled her in, scooting over so René would sit next to h
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 60: oh how cruel people can be .Jessica did everything right at dinner. She greeted Kai’s mother respectfully as the host, copying how she practiced with René. She followed all of the rules and pointers René and Augustine had given her earlier. It was safe to say she was doing good so far. She didn’t make a single mistake (that she was aware of, at least). She used the right utensils, ate at the proper time, sat straight in her chair, kept her hands away from Kai and elbows off the table, turned her head respectfully when she drank, talked about the topics she was meant to. From the other side of the table at the end, René would occasionally shoot her a thumbs up when she did something right, and Augustine, who was coincidentally seated on René’s left, gave her silent reminders, once saving Jessica from choosing the wrong wine to fill the glass her seat neighbor held out to her.It was a small victory, but it made her breathe easierUntil
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 61: like a snake about to strike.Jessica slid down the wall until she was sitting down, knees pulled close to her chest. She laid her head between her knees, hands locked and pressing down on the back of her head, trying to keep herself steady. She wasn’t going to cry. She wasn’t going to cry. Breathe.She just needed a moment.Faintly, in the back of her head she recalled Kai’s words from earlier: If you’re uncomfortable, just tell me, okay?Jessica could picture Kai’s concerned expression in her mind like it was right in front of her. Her boyfriend who assured her they could leave at any time if she was uncomfortable, who curved conversations to protect Jessica from the harsh words of her family, who tactfully kept her around the people who wouldn’t hurt her if given the chance. She knew if she asked Kai to leave, he would in a heartbeat. If she told him the truth of how she was feeling, he would come with her with no further questions,
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 62: What was the point of it all? . Jessica sat next to Santana silently, taking her shoes and socks off, rolling her pants up so she could dip her feet in the cold water. They were quiet for a long time, the only noises between them was the occasional sniffle from Santana and the sloshing of the wine bottle.“I don’t think I can do this,” She eventually said, head lolling upwards to stare at the sky. Even on a clear night, there were no stars with the haze of the city. “Continue Living. In this family.” “But they are your family, you love them,” Jessica said. It had to just be maybe anger, she couldn’t actually mean what she was saying.But Santana let out a full body laugh, keeling over and spilling a bit of wine into the pool when she turned to look at Jessica. “Are you kidding me? Of course I don’t. I will never.”Jessica’s mind jumbled, wondering if she had heard her right, or if Santana had heard her wrong somehow. This didn’t just ma
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 63: Alpha Maverick . A bike halted with screeching tires in front of the grand mansion. The man quickly parked it, hurrying up the wide stairs and to the inside. His leather jacket flew behind him and tattoos peaked around his neck from under his black t-shirt.“I have news for the boss,” he informed the guards stationed in front of the door.They regarded him briefly before opening the door for him, gesturing their head to the inside. He hurried inside with a nod, rushing through the long corridor, climbing the spiral staircases that led him to the second floor of the mansion. His foot quickly swallowed the distance, his boots clicking on the marbled floor with urgency.The boss would be having his breakfast in his office at this time of the morning. He broke through the door with a quick succession of knocks to announce his presence.Maverick Leonard, looked up from his coffee mug. He was a handsome man in his early thirties. His black hair

Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 65: chaos . Chaos was the only word to explain what was happening around them. One moment, Chanel was walking to the doctor's office and the next she was summoned by her brother's urgent call for help. Her distressed peppermint scent was all over the place.Mane Yves, a man who never bowed down to anyone in his life, a man who was so fearless looked so pale as he lay unconscious on Aire’s lap. The doctors had jumped into action immediately. She had to reign in her emotions as her phone blared non-stop. She assured her parents that Valentino and Saint were fine and stopped them from visiting the hospital.The hospital security was already in question and with the team responsible to guard Valentino and Saint was still out of commission they were outnumbered. Chanel never felt so helpless in her life before. The media and public were gathered in front of the hospital and there was no way one could get in or get out without being mobbed.Her pa

Kieran in his arms face hidden in his neck away from all the flashing cameras."Amir I love you!" A fan screamed. Amir ignored the voice not wanting to make any fans overly excited and try to reach over and touch them. His bodyguards making a square around the family guiding them out of the airport. Another bodyguard standing next to Tasha just in case a fan some how broke through the protective box. Amir was still, after two year, paranoid from the time Tasha was mobbed so he took every precaution he could.The idol turned his head slightly, lifting his hand to adjust the mask over Kieran's nose and mouth just to make sure no one could get a picture of his face. The one year old whined shoving his father's hand away.He was tired and was overdue for a nap but neither Tasha or Amir let him since they were scared he would wake up from all the screaming as they walked past the cro
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 105: constantly tense and on edge. Kai’s eyes soften. “Is this what’s been bothering you all this time?”Jessica blinks. Kai says it so calmly.“Listen,” Kai reaches for her hand and tugs her closer, dark eyes shining with fondness and sincerity. “I love you, okay? I mean it. Whatever happens I’m going to be right here.” He relaxes as Jessica buries her face into the crook of his neck, starting to sob again but significantly less harsh than before. “It’ll be okay. We can go see the doctors tomorrow and discuss this.”“I-I already did.” Jessica clutches his shoulder. “I went and saw someone again – they said I’m fine.”Kai leans back to kiss Jessica on the lips slow and lovingly, leaving his taste on her tongue. “Okay, then do you want to try talking about IVF or something?”Jessica hiccups before nodding slowly. “Y-yes.” She had done research on other options available to them, biting her lip as she read information from various websites and t
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 104: rather mundane things. Jessica takes the test a few days later, palms clammy and sweat breaking out across her forehead. Praying for two lines as she turns the test over on the sink.Just two simple lines. Jessica deflates.She throws the test away and groans in frustration, feels her heart break a little more.Her omega wolf is curled in shame.I’m no good.*** Jessica is excited as she collects her water bottle from the corner of the practise room and shoves it into her bag.“In a rush, today?” Augustine asks as he also does the same.“My parents are visiting today! We’re having a family dinner with Kai’s parents so I want to get back quickly,” Jessica explains and Augustine grins.“Oh, tell them I say hi,” Augustine says.Jessica nods. “Of course.”“By the way, were you planning on doing the dance tour this year?” Augustine furrows his eyebrows, “you haven’t confirmed it yet and the rest of the team is wondering.”“Uh…” Jessica swallo
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 103: progressively worse from here?. Negative.Jessica feels the nausea in her stomach but not for the reason she wants it to be. She picks up the other test and stares at the single line, lump forming in her throat.She’s not pregnant.Her hands fall limply to her sides and disappointment courses through her body.“It’s okay, it’s okay,” She mumbles as she hastily throws them in the bin, grabbing some tissues and chucking them in after to conceal the tests, feeling ashamed that she doesn’t want Kai to know. The first few occasions it had been alright – Jessica had shrugged her shoulders and said ‘next time’ but it had been months off the pill and she’s starting to feel scared. What if I’m infertile? What if there’s something wrong with one of us? We did a check-up and everything was okay but maybe something changed –“Jessica?.” She jumps at Kai’s voice from the other room. He had probably just come back from work. Washing her hands, Jess
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 102: Kai just needed Jessica. . “Fuck, I’m close.” Kai buried his head in Jessica’s neck, syrupy scent filling his senses, causing his hips to cant forward faster, chasing his own release. He felt his knot forming, catching on Jessica’s rim. MHe shoved it inside and gasped at how Jessica’s walls massaged around his cock.“Oh, Alpha, hurts,” Jessica whimpered as the knot stretched her further. “Kai – hurts, it’s too – Kai –”“I know.” Kai kissed her full lips apologetically. “I know, baby. Just a little more.” He panted harshly at the friction, the tight fit, the scorching temperature. “You’re taking it so well. So good to me.” Jessica cried out as it rested snug against her prostate, and the size locked their bodies together. She moaned happily, Omega wolf preening under her Alpha’s praise. “So pretty like this.”“Can I – can I –” Jessica stuttered as Kai resumed his thrusts, a little gentler than before.Kai’s Alpha was over the moon; his
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 101: oh the mating continues . Jessica’s breath caught and her whimper mixed with Kai’s groan of satisfaction, eyebrows furrowed as she kept herself under control – careful not to become too rough.“I want your knot, Alpha. Want you to knot me again and again until I’m filled with your cum – want to have your pups and be yours for – oh, fuck,” Jessica trembled as Kai pinched her nipples, puffy from her heat, preparing to be bred. Kai usually had the dirty mouth of the two but holy shit Jessica was pushing her limits. He imagined Jessica with a swollen stomach, carrying his child. Kai moaned at the thought.He left wet, open mouthed kisses down Jessica’s neck, her collarbones, her chest to her nipples, flicking the nub with his tongue, other one rolling between his thumb and index finger. Jessica cried out, high and needy, and her body almost racked with pleasure as her first official wave of heat ripped through her petite body.That alone sen
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 100: final mating bites . Kai should be used to it by now. His mate was stunning, and with her warm smile and infectious laugh, everyone she met adored her. Even the ruthless media couldn’t help fawning over how kind-hearted Jessica was. Her amazing dancing skills made her even more enchanting. People stopped Jessica in the streets to ask for a photo or an autograph, and some showered her in compliments and confessed they were in love with her. Alphas jokingly asked if Jessica would be their mate. The first time that happened Kai had difficulty restraining the bitter, poisonous words on his tongue. Who the fuck do they think they are? Jessica’s my mate, I’m hers. Fuck off.***But last night, last night it was like Jessica was an art piece herself. She turned heads everywhere. And okay, Jessica had looked particularly gorgeous, and if anyone said otherwise Kai would happily make them regret it, but it didn’t mean he wanted them practically
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 99: possessive instincts . “You didn’t answer the last question.”“It was unnecessary.”“Yeah, but,” Jessica tried to keep her voice light, not wanting to offend Kai or give him the wrong impression – she trusted Kai, she loved him, but Jessica was searching for something... for reassurance. “You got all uncomfortable with it.”“Jessica,” Kai began and his eyebrows furrowed, “you know I don’t care about your status, right?”She nodded but she couldn’t stop. “Yes, I know, but then why didn’t you just say that?”“Because I didn’t think I had to,” Kai stood up and stepped a few paces back, his expression slipping into that taciturn mask he wore so easily but not before Jessica caught the trace of confusion. “But they don’t know that, and it’s a pretty understandable inquiry, I mean, everyone was shocked that you settled for me -” “I didn’t settle for you Jessica, don’t say things like that. I wanted you, don’t you know that by now?” Kai’s eyes
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 98: why is there an us? . “Oh no, not this way,” Kai muttered and steered Jessica to the other side of the room, polite smile on his lips and bowing to the people who greeted him as they passed.The room was packed with people in stunning dresses and suits and everyone there was so clearly from money, but they weren’t entirely unpleasant like how Jessica had fretted they’d be.“What? Why?” Jessica asked as Kai reached for a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.“The Hermès family over there talk forever. We’d never be able to leave if they started a conversation with us,” Kai said under his breath.Jessica looked back over her shoulder, not even sure who she was meant to be looking at. “Oh.”When they had first arrived, there had been the cameras and reporters and though Jessica would usually briskly walk past them, today they had stopped and let a few photos be taken. Kai had kept an arm around her waist, ready to brush the media away if
