Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 29: what lies behind the Mane family .Mane Chanel sceptically raised an eyebrow, fumbling with the golden cuffs of her blazer.“Are you sure?” She asked, turning around and directing her gaze from her own reflection and the suit she was wearing, to Aire.He was lounging on a white couch, a glass of champagne in his hand. His black hair was styled back, silvery threads woven into it, pink lips smiling mildly at her. “I think you look good,” He said.It had become Chanel’s habit to let her husband, Aire choose her outfits for her. In private she liked to wear t-shirts and hoodies, but when she went out to any sort of event or when she was being called to bar; at the courtroom or even be it a party or a gala, or any gathering of slight importance, she had to look her best. And Aire actually played a big part in it.The alpha had just hardly managed to finish school and had uselessly hung around London, unsure of what to do with his bad report c
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 30: like ants on a crumb of bread.Jessica Hart has never felt so spoken down at in her life until she met the ‘Chadwick Family’. They were one of the worst packs she had ever met. The whole taking tea together was a disaster. Dinner would even be a greater disaster considering the fact that she is sure that none of them had warmed up to her at all. At the moment, Kai wasn’t with her, he was with his grandfather who had called him minutes earlier for a talk. Each second she stood there, alone, Jessica became more and more uncomfortable with her surroundings and the workers in the mansion sending her sideways glances before rolling their eyes. Even the workers think of her as a peasant. How ironic. Maybe they had been doing that all evening but she didn’t realize until Kai wasn’t by her side to distract her from it. Maybe this is what the others have been thinking about her all night.Jessica felt sick.The air outside no longer was refr
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 31: Happiness is more than love.Jessica said, following René out of the room and down the hall. “It’s okay, I’ve gotten a lot of that tonight.”“It’s not okay, and stop letting people make you think it’s okay. You’re not not from here, you’re just also from somewhere else and that’s okay. I’m sorry for speaking so carelessly.”“Oh. Um, thanks.” René smiled at her. “Why aren’t you with Kai, by the way?” “His grandfather told someone to come to get him to talk about something? I think, I don’t really know”. She recalled, and René rolled her eyes.“Seems like someone wouldn’t stop with the bugging, it’s Estelle Cargill. She is back on her gold digging bullshit then.” Jessica blinked, clearly missing something here. Luckily, René was happy to explain. “She’s been after the Chadwick family fortune for years. Originally she was after my Augustine’s hand in marriage, but since that case is closing in just a few months from now…well, let’s just s
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 32: same story all over again .Tasha feels it before she even wakes up, she isn’t home. So she panics, eyes shooting open and trying to focus on her surroundings.Her eyes dart around the room sporadically until they land on Amir’s sleeping form by her side in the bed.Amir draws her knees to her chest and puts her head in her hands, leaning against the headboard of the huge bed to get a grip on reality. She lifts her head with a sigh, eyes immediately landing on glass doors across from her.She glances at Amir one more time before slowly sliding out the bed and tip toeing to the doors.They don’t creak at all as she pushes them open but she gasps at the view of the mountains. The balcony is half her home in town, and better decorated, with big tables and seats built against the railings.Tasha steps her bare feet out further into it, eyes widening when she walks down it and sees a big hot tub attached to a bigger pool beside it just as part o
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 33.Saint laid awake on the bed as he looked up towards the ceiling of the large bedroom that he and Yves were sleeping in. That Yves was sleeping in. Not him. Because he couldn’t sleep, no matter how hard Saint tried, he just couldn’t get a wink of sleep. And it was due to overthinking, mostly overthinking what was going to happen at Yves’s family dinner the next time. He thought he was prepared but it was obvious that he wasn’t in the slightest way possible prepared for anything and it was sad.Because that was making him nervous than ever. Saint sighed turning around to face Yves who was still sleeping, looking as ethereal as possible. “Yves?.” A grumble from the other.“Alpha ?.” He whispered again trying to get the other’s attention. But Yves wasn’t budging. Another sigh from Saint again as he sat up on the bed putting his legs over the edge coming down. He laid the bedspread carefully before walking away leaving the room. “Can’
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 33: mother-in-laws can be devils too .“Why not?.” Saint asked him in a small voice. “She should be proud of you, you are like huge and everything. You are a fashion icon, you are the kind of person who should or who introduces new styles which spread throughout fashion culture and become part of fashion. Isn’t that what you are?.” Saint asked him, curiously wondering if he got it wrongly. Valentino stared at him with wide eyes which would turn emotional any soon as he smiled, wide, the heart shaped smile showing more. “You know, I’m so glad that my brother met someone like you.”“You don’t have to say that because I said nice things about you.” “No.” Valentino refused shaking his head. “That is not what I meant. You are a nice person even without you acting nice towards me, I can tell.” “Or because I’m an Omega and you instinctively feel calm around me because of my pheromones?.” Saint asked taking a wild guess. “You underestimate yourself
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 34: every thread of his control.Kai was exhausted when he dragged his feet through the long corridors of the Hermès mansion. He lived in the farthest room in the secluded wing of the mansion. It was his own den. No one except Augustine came here since it was far from the others.While Chanel was fully capable of handling the legal stuff of the two families; Mane and Chadwick, he still needed extra hands in urgent matters such as this. Spending countless hours with the company’s law firm attorneys had considerably drained him of his energy. Each person was assigned to different tasks, and they were determined to leave no stones unturned.The new turn in events was unexpected but filled them with new hope.As the first son of Chadwick Zachariah, it was his responsibility to protect the Chadwick family. Although, his grand father kept on drumming it into his head that the two families were one under the name Hermès. Kai concludes that he miss
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 35: calm before the storm.Jessica stretched her limbs, smiling when she felt the gentle press of lips on the side of her temple. “Good morning,” She mumbled.“Good morning, baby.” Her alpha nuzzled his face into her neck, kissing over her scent gland and dragging his lips along her jaw, peppering soft kisses as he went. “Did my omega sleep well?”“Mhmm… best sleep ever.” She blindly wrapped her arms around the alpha’s neck, pulling him closer. Jessica buried her face into his neck, inhaling the rich aroma of sandalwood that was now mixed with the scent of fresh roses. She grinned against the alpha’s neck. “How about my alpha?”“Best night ever.” Kai slipped a hand under the sheet, gracing her warm skin. “Come on, my princess. Time to wake up.”Jessica groaned. “Five minutes…”“No can do…Alpha has prepared a gift for you.Jessica’s eyes shot open. “You did?”“Mhmm. Don’t you wanna see?”She scrunched her nose. “Is that why you’re dressed up lik
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 106: best of both worlds . Amir held on tightly to Tasha’s waist. 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

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
