Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 14: Secretive Nature
Serena “I…” my tongue felt tied as I stared at him, I felt like all the air had been knocked clean out of me and I silently scolded myself for saying so much. I'd just complained to Luna's son about his mother, pouring my heart out and I didn't know. My cheeks reddened with embarrassment, he'd probably just sat there enjoying the show. “I don't know what to say,” I managed, my voice shaking. “I…” I raised my hands. “I didn't mean to disrespect the Luna like that, you see…” I trailed off, my head blank of words. “It's fine,” Alex smiled, showing off his white teeth. He didn't look the least bit offended. “I've heard worse,” he winked. “My mother isn't the easiest person to speak to,” his eyes softened as he gazed intently at me. “Who are you?” His eyes flickered with barely concealed interest as his eyes swept over me. “I…” I blushed, my breath hastening. Before I could gather my thoughts footsteps echoed from behind us. Jake appeared, his face set in a stern expression, his g

Darius’s POV My fists clenched by my side as I watched her run away, bits and pieces of my emotion beginning to unravel. Waves of guilt ripped into me as I recalled her terrified expression. I did that. I wished I could follow behind her and tell her I hadn't meant to, but she wasn't going to listen to me. Why would she? I wondered, running a hand through my hair. I hadn't meant to scare her, but I'd kept this room off limits to everyone, seeing her in here… I sighed and my shoulders sagged. I’d spent so long burying my feelings that I was still finding it hard to accept the ones she'd stirred up in me. She was my mate? I wondered. I still couldn't find an explanation for the pull I'd felt ever since she'd stumbled into me at the party. It was the same pull that'd led me to mention it to Jake and the bastard had immediately pulled some strings, mother surprisingly hadn't been against the idea. I dialed Jake’s number as I headed towards the kitchen. “Hello,” he picked on the

Serena’s POV The mansion was silent as I headed down the stairs, the sheer silk I was wearing shimmered over my skin. I'd been pleasantly surprised that the clothes Darius had gotten were my exact size, “How did he do that?” I wondered, still surprised. I'd woken up only an hour ago, exhaustion from the previous day taking its toll. I had no idea where Darius was at the moment, I knew better than to go check on him in his room. Especially after Yesterday. My eyes narrowed at the thought of how Darius had reacted to me being in that room, I couldn't help but wonder who that lady was. Was she his previous lover? What could have happened to make him react so strongly? The kitchen was quiet as I padded in quietly, I paused as surprise flashed through my eyes. Where were the dishes? I wondered, I'd intended on doing them this morning before Darius came down, but I didn't plan on taking a chance on his reaction. I was rummaging through the fridge to get something to eat when a voi

Derek’s POV My heart thudded erratically as I paced the dimly lit room, my gaze flicking over the mess of papers scattered across my desk. Every shred of information, every clue I’d uncovered led me closer to Serena’s father. My eyes reddened as rage whipped into me. He thought he could hide, thought he was safe behind hospital walls, and hired guards. The corner of my mouth curled into a smirk. Not safe enough. I just had to find which one specifically. After days of digging, following leads, and bribing every lowlife connected to the Kensington family, I finally had what I needed. I’d found him. Serena had to know she couldn’t just walk away from me. And if she needed a reminder, her father would be perfect. Maybe then she’d realize just how powerful I was—and how wrong she’d been to choose Darius. A dark satisfaction settled in my chest as I went over my plan. Within minutes, my men were on their way to the hospital, each one moving under the radar, blending in like shadows.

Serena’s POV “Mother?” My eyes widened as I opened the door, “What… what happened?” I gasped, taking in her haggard appearance. She looked… awful, her eyes were red and swollen with dark circles. She looked nothing like her confident, polished self. I couldn't quite believe my eyes as I stared at her. “Serena…” she began, her voice thin and almost unrecognizable. “There's been a terrible incident, her eyes quivered. “Is Darius in?” She asked, stepping inside. “What happened to you? What's going on?” My breath caught in my throat as I ushered her inside. I rushed to bring a glass of water for her, I could feel a thread of dread tighten in my belly. I just hoped it wasn't about father. My mind raced with possibilities, each one worse than the last. I shook my head, trying to press down the surge of panic that threatened to rise within me. “It’s Stephanie,” Susan's voice was hoarse as she spoke, her eyes glimmered with tears. “She's been kidnapped.” “What!” the news hit me li

Serena’s POV The air was tense as I sat across from Agatha, my food lay untouched. I could barely raise my head, not daring to stare at her squarely. She'd listened to me quietly as I explained the situation to her, not saying a word. I couldn’t even begin to guess what was on her mind. “So,” Agatha began, her lips pulling into a mocking smile. “You’ve decided to ignore my very clear instructions, haven’t you, Serena?” I winced a little at her sharp biting tone, “I…” I stammered. “I didn't have a choice,” I whispered, my voice shook slightly. “I… I’m sorry for barging in without a proper arrangement, Luna.” I felt like gagging when I called her Luna, but I pushed through. “I wouldn’t have come if it weren’t… important,” I stared at her, hoping she'd reconsider. “Important?” Agatha’s lips thinned, her expression becoming forbidding. “The only thing you should be concerned with is keeping your end of the bargain,” her expression became more severe. “You seem to have forgotten.

Darius’s POV The silence of the garden was comforting, and it held a steady pulse of stillness that I’d come to seek out in recent days. I sighed as I stared into the distance, I had been avoiding her—Serena. I had just gotten off the phone with Jake, his words echoing in my ears. “Serena’s step-sister has been kidnapped,” Jake had spoken tersely, his voice tight with tension. “Her mother came to give her the news, I assume she will Come to you for help,” Jake's voice lowered. “What will you do about it?” Jake paused before adding, “Derek's sent a letter with his demands, we can't reveal our hand easily Darius,” his voice was grim. “Remember that.” “I need to think” I'd said, ending the call and even now I still didn't know what I was supposed to do. “Damn you Derek!” I hissed under my breath, my eyes narrowing. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm down. I needed to remain calm and rational about this. Derek's plan was well carried out I thought, clenching my fists. He'd let his

Darius’s POV I arrived at the house in good time, Jake wheeled me in. I ignored all the gazes that shot my way, not minding them in the least. I had to give credit to Jake, he'd gotten the wheelchair and neck support. “Darius,” Mother rushed in at that moment, her eyes brightened for a split second before darkening again. “You're awake,” she whispered, cupping my face softly. “Yes mother,” I nodded slowly. “Thanks to Serena,” I kept my tone calm, staring calmly at her. Her eyes held mine for a long moment and she seemed to catch on, her expression hardened. “You're here because of her,” she snapped. It wasn't a question. “Yes,” I answered, keeping my expression calm. “It's to my understanding that we can't afford to allow Derek to get any more leverage against us.” Agatha’s face twisted, a scornful laugh escaping her. “Leverage? That should mean nothing to you, Darius. Derek's not our problem, he's not even our opponent.” Her eyes narrowed, “I've done my part of the deal. I

Serena’s POV The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Darius stood near the door, his arms crossed and I could feel his eyes on me, boring into me. “Th—thank you,” I stammered, my voice coming out in a whisper and I forced myself to look up at him. My chest tightened as his eyes flicked to mine, holding them for a moment too long before glancing away.He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he shifted on his feet, looking oddly uncomfortable—almost hesitant, as if he wasn’t sure how to respond.“Are you…okay?” he asked finally, his voice gruff but softer than I expected.“I’m fine,” I said quickly, the words feeling hollow in my mouth. Darius nodded, though the tension in his posture didn’t ease. The silence stretched again, awkward and heavy, until I couldn’t take it anymore.“I mean it, Darius,” I stuttered, my voice a little firmer now. “Thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you…”I trailed off, not finishing the statement. Alex had wanted to take me somewhere. So

Serena’s POVThe sound of the car was the only sound that filled my ears as we drove in the dark. My heart was beating erratically, a by-product of the tense thoughts floating In my mind. Darius was at the wheel, and his hands were gripping the steering very tightly as he drove, his expression was like stone. He hadn't said a word since we'd left, his eyes occasionally meeting my gaze in the rearview mirror. Marcella sat quietly beside me in the back seat, her presence reassured me. This wasn’t fake. This wasn’t a lie, I'd been rescued. I winced slightly as I adjusted my position, my body screaming with pain. I couldn’t get the image of Alex out of my head. ‘Was he fine, had Darius injured him? What had happened?’ I sat there struggling with the thought as it plagued me. I needed to know if he was okay if he’d made it out alive, but I didn’t know how to ask. My throat felt tight, I didn't wish to test Darius’s reaction by asking, so I couldn’t bring myself to speak.“He’ll be fi

Susan stood behind the door as she strained her ears to eavesdrop on a conversation with someone on the phone. She couldn't hear the voice on the other end, but the tone of Stephanie’s words made her feel very uneasy. Something was off. “…it’s handled, don’t worry about that,” Stephanie said quietly, pacing the room. She was dressed in a beautiful blue dress. “If you keep your side of the bargain, keep mine,” her words made Susan scrunch her face, suspicion filling her. “I’ll keep you updated,” Stephanie said. “Stick to the plan,” she ended the call. Plan? What plan? Susan’s brows furrowed and she pushed closer, trying to overhear more bits of the conversation but the conversation had ended already. Susan hesitated at the door, her face having all kinds of emotions. She took a deep breath before she pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Who's—” Stephanie exclaimed as she spun around, her words cutting off when she saw Susan and her expression hardened instantly.“Who were

Serena’s POV The sight of Darius in the doorway sent a flood of emotions through me and my breath caught in my throat. Relief and shock flooded my system, the adrenaline that had been keeping me upright suddenly abandoning me. My knees buckled, and before I could hit the ground, Marcella appeared beside me, her arms steadying me.“It’s okay,” she whispered, her hands helping hold me upright. “You’re safe now.”“You lying piece of—” Darius spewed a flurry of insults but he didn’t make a move. His expression was one of unrestrained fury, his gaze locked on Alex like a predator about to strike. The tension in the room was suffocating.“Darius, please,” I managed to choke out, my voice trembling. “Don’t let this get out of hand.” The look in his eyes frightened me, I'd never seen that kind of look in his eyes. Darius didn’t even glance in my direction. His jaw was clenched tight, and his fists were curled at his sides, trembling with barely restrained rage.Before I could blink Dari

Darius’s POV My heart was racing as the car roared down the empty road, its headlights cutting through the darkness and Jake pushed the accelerator to its limit. My belly was a mess of emotions as I tried to remain calm. Was Alex nuts? What was he doing? My eyes blazed with fury as I glared out at the dark never-ending road. After all the twists and turns, it turned out he was the one behind Serena’s disappearance. Marcella sat in the backseat, her face pale but resolute. We’d picked her up a few miles back, where she had stopped to avoid Alex noticing her tailing him. Her words still echoed in my mind.“He’s heading to the private strip,” she’d said, her voice shaking but determined. “I couldn’t follow too close, but I’m almost certain Serena is with him or already there.”I couldn’t agree more, there was no other reason Alex could have for suddenly taking off so suddenly. His actions reminded me of his sudden departure months ago after the attempt on my life. The scenarios lo

DariusAlex was here? My eyes narrowed as I stared at Alex, questions and doubts filling my mind. He looked nonchalant and calm as he strutted in. His unbothered expression only served to fan the flames of anger that I'd been trying to keep under wraps. “Alex,” my eyes flashed with cold lights. “It took you long enough,” I glanced at the time on my silver watch. He was the last to arrive here I thought, staring at him. “I was busy,” Alex countered, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. “Surely you didn't expect me to just drop whatever I was doing.” “You…” his words infuriated me and I took a warning step closer. “Well, Alpha,” he drawled, not threatened in the least, his tone was almost mocking. “What’s all this commotion about?”I didn't answer him, I stepped forward until there was only a foot of space between us. “I want answers Alex, and they'd better be the truth,” my voice was low and controlled, though barely. “Where have you been?”Alex’s lips curled and he chuckl

Darius’s POVThe hallway was silent as I walked quickly, my footsteps were the only sound to be heard. I'd sent someone ahead to inform Mother I was coming. I inclined my head slightly to the guards outside before I stepped in. “Mother,” I walked in, immediately sensing the heaviness in the air. Mother sat regally in her high-backed chair. Her silver hair gleamed under the soft glow of the chandelier, but her gaze was sharp, unyielding.“Elder…” I was taken aback by the sight of one of the elders. Elder Mortis. I’d sent word to Mother, so I hadn't expected she'd be with anyone. “Alpha Darius,” Elder Mortis turned to me, his expression as severe as ever. His piercing eyes scrutinized me as I approached, his disapproval practically radiating off him.Probably still fuming at me for overturning their decision on Malcolm, I thought and I internally sneered. “Mother,” I began, bowing my head as a sign of respect. “I need to speak with you.” My eyes lingered on Elder Mortis for a split

Serena’s POVI was standing by the window, my breath plumed out of my mouth like small white clouds that clouded the chilly window glass. I wiped it off. Where was I? I wondered, stretching my neck to stare outside. There wasn't much to see, trees stretched as far as I could see. It was a dull sight but I didn't give in. I stared closely, carefully checking if I could pick up on any detail—anything that might give me a clue about where I was—but it was no use. Everything looked foreign, desolate, and unrecognizable.‘It was no use,’ I sniffed, a thin thread of panic unfurling at the pit of my belly. The door was locked, the window bars were unyielding and there was nothing in the room that I could use in any way to help me escape. This won't work… that won't work. My lips tightened into a grim line as my thoughts swirled in frantic circles, and every plan I devised crumbled under the weight of reality. I was trapped.The sound of the lock turning jolted me out of my thoughts. The

Darius’s POV I felt a wave of tension crash into me as time ticked on and on. I stood on the balcony, my eyes narrowed dangerously as I stood. Waiting in silence. I'd given orders to Jake and Marcell to get every single person out looking for Serena. But despite the commotion, a sinking feeling settled in my chest as the minutes stretched into hours.It was painfully clear: Serena was nowhere to be found.“Have you found her?” I snapped, hearing the sounds of footsteps behind me. “No,” the voice replied. “We—” "Spread out!" I cut in, my voice cut through the cold evening air. "Check every room, every corner! I don't care if you have to sweep every blade of grass. Find her!” “Yes,” they chorused and the pack members dispersed at my command, their footsteps fading into the distance. I stood in the hallway, my fists clenched, heart pounding. Marcella was overseeing the search outside, and Jake had taken a group to the northern woods, while others checked the outer perimeter.She h
