Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 20: Shadows Of The Past.
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 I was still grappling with my emotions as I walked outside quickly, already somewhat familiar with the mansion's layout. Everywhere I passed, the guards, maids, and attendants all gave me looks of respect but at this point, I couldn't be bothered. A chill breeze blew into me as I stepped outside, blowing gusts of wind that made my hair stand on end. I sighed as I walked down the stairs, a sense of defeat weighing down on me. I didn't dare imagine Susan's reaction when I told her that Agatha wasn't going to lend a hand, she was our only chance. Well, not only, I thought. I felt a wave of mixed emotions when I thought about Darius. “Leaving so soon?” a familiar voice said, snapping me out of my thoughts. My heart skipped a beat as I turned around, staring into Alex's eyes. He was leaning against the side of the building, his expression almost lazy as he stared at me with an unreadable expression. “I…” my heart thudded as I felt his gaze linger intently on me. I c

Serena’s POV I fiddled with the bedsheets in my hands, my thoughts were on Darius. I'd messed up, big time I thought. Darius had carried a stone-cold look all through the ride. Even now his words replayed in my head like a saved audio clip, his anger coming through. “If you’re so besotted with Alex… why don’t you ask him to help with Stephanie instead of me?” The memory of his cold tone stabbed into me like a thorn I couldn’t pull out. I wasn’t “besotted” with Alex, and it burned to think Darius saw me that way—as if I were some foolish, love-struck girl, oblivious to what mattered. I’d tried to shake off the pain, telling myself I didn’t care about his opinion. But my heart hadn’t listened. I felt like I'd betrayed him. A sudden knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts. My heart sank as Susan appeared, her gaze fixed on me with that all-too-familiar intensity. “So,” she began, folding her arms, “What did the Luna say about Stephanie?” Another wave of guilt crashed int

Darius’s POV The car was quiet as Jake drove towards Derek’s winter mansion, the only sound to be heard was the sound of Jake’s fingers as he tapped on the steering wheel. I could tell Jake wasn't happy with my decision, he'd called it foolish but I didn’t care. I needed to do this I thought, leaning back in my seat. I had this strange urge to prove a point. Why? I didn't want to think about it, despite Serena’s calm features filling my mind's eye. “You think this is a good idea?” Jake finally broke the silence, his voice was grim. “I don't,” Jake's voice was tight and he glanced outside the glass, worry clear in his features. I kept my gaze forward, unwilling to be swayed. “I can't let Derek gain a bargaining chip, Jake, it would affect our plans,” I replied evenly, each word carrying a weight I hoped Jake would understand. “You know Derek’s not going to make this easy,” Jake countered, glancing over at me. “He’s dangerous, unpredictable. And let’s be honest, in your conditio

Serena’s POV I'd been awoken by the noise coming from outside, I'd just come downstairs when I spotted them. My heart beat erratically in my chest by the time Jake entered the hall. “What happened to him?” My breath hitched at the sight of Darius in his arms, he was unconscious with blood seeping through his shirt. It took all of my control not to scream in shock. “He’s alive,” Jake assured me quickly, his face etched with exhaustion. “But… he’s hurt. Badly.” A wave of guilt crashed over me. He had gone through all of this for Stephanie. For me. The knowledge settled heavily in my chest, suffocating. If only I’d never asked, if only— The sound of approaching footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts as Agatha stormed into the hall, her expression a dangerous mix of fury and worry. She glanced briefly at Darius, but her gaze hardened almost instantly. “How did this happen?” she demanded, her voice icy as she turned to Jake. Jake lowered his head respectfully. “Derek’s men ambushe

Serena’s POV I could feel a gentle warmth the moment I woke up and I'd slept peacefully, something I hadn't done in years. I exhaled slowly and I blinked my eyes, trying to adjust to the light that streamed through the open windows. What! My eyes widened as I realized I was lying in Darius’s arms, I could feel the slow steady beat of his heart underneath my palm. I was lying on top of him, my cheeks flushed at the thought of sleeping like this. I didn’t know what must've come over me. The events from last night flooded back to me, and I jolted slightly, my fingers automatically going to his chest. "Darius!" I whispered, my heart pounding. I checked where the wounds had been, expecting to find the cuts and bruises that had filled me with so much dread. But… my eyes widened with disbelief. They were gone. I could've sworn that he'd been injured when he came yesterday but now… I looked over him again, he looked completely fine. What happened? I wondered, my mind racing with though

Serena’s POV The room was silent as I sat stock still, my chest felt heavy and my breathing was labored. Darius’s words echoed unceasingly in my head with each sentence cutting deeper than the last. This… my breath hitched, this was my fault—I'd let my guard down and now, I was paying the price. How dumb was I to think that Darius saw me as anything more than what I was, a contract? A means to an end. I felt a jolt of pain stab into me even as the thought crossed my mind. Suddenly, a sharp knock at my door broke my thoughts. One of the guards entered, his tone respectful but firm. “Serena, the Luna has requested your presence.” Agatha? My heart gave a little jump. She seldom summoned me personally. I quickly composed myself, straightened my clothes, and followed the guard out, trying to banish all thoughts of Darius from my mind. My breath caught in my throat as I walked into a large chamber, my eyes darting around. Darius was there, along with Uncle Sam, Susan, and Stephanie.

Darius’s POV The air felt thick with tension as I stood before the doctor, Dr. DiMario. Weird name I thought, staring at his neat dreads that hung just a few inches past his ears. “What's her status, Doc?” I asked, breaking the silence. I needed to know Stephanie was fine. “Well,” Dr. DiMario adjusted his glasses, his face drawn with lines from stress. “She's fine,” his first words sent a surge of relief coursing through me. “Her condition is stable now, so she's out of the woods,” Dr. DiMario added. His words were like a tranquilizer that made me relax. Phew! I slowly wiped away a sheen of sweat that'd gathered just above my brow. I hadn’t been able to sit still or do anything, the waiting becoming almost unbearable as I waited for news. “There’s something else,” Dr. DiMario continued, his tone cut through my relief short as he stared at me. He frowned slightly, hesitating. “This is rather unusual but, when I was examining her injuries, I found something strange,” Dr. DiMario

Serena’s POV Uncle Sam could scarcely believe his ears as he stared at me, his face twisted in shock. I'd repeated the same words to him. I wanted a divorce. “Serena,” Uncle Sam began and he leaned forward, his face filled with worry.“Reconsider this, I'm sure you can resolve this…” he glanced at Alex who was standing by the window. “Darius still loves you.” “Don't you dare say that,” I gritted my teeth in displeasure and I looked away, my jaw clenched tightly. “I'm done Uncle Sam,” I whispered, staring at him through watery eyes. “This is it for me,” I whispered, my voice shaking. I saw Alex’s body tense up out of the corner of my eye as he listened to my words. But Uncle Sam wasn't giving up. “Have you thought this through?” he pressed, his eyes searching mine. “I have,” I nodded, fighting for my voice to be calm.After all, Darius had done, it was better this way I thought, I'd spent my whole life trying to fit in. Now? I just wanted to be happy. “But—”“It's no use, Uncle
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 93: Decisions On The Edge
Serena’s POV My head seemed to throb in sync with the heart monitor that beeped rhythmically beside me as I slowly became conscious. Ouch! A stinging pain assaulted my head and I bit back a wince, clenching my eyes shut. My body felt heavy like stone and I couldn't even move a single finger. Darius. My mind slowly regained clarity as memories came rushing back. The ache in my body was joined by the ache in my heart. Even now I could see him in my mind's eyes. His cold, calculating voice. "Just hold on,” he'd said, his eyes coldly watching as I'd nearly given up the ghost. Because of Stephanie. Damn him! Tears streamed down the sides of my face as I closed my eyes, wishing I could shut out the memory. “You're such a fool, Serena,” I whispered, clenching my hands and my nails dug into my palms. I'd been a fool to think Darius would have anything remotely close to feelings for me. I'd let myself sink into delusion. And now I was paying the price. He'd not cared if I was going

"What exactly do you want?" Derek swiveled in his chair and he smirked at the man who sat across the desk. The room was dimly lit and the lights cast shadows across his face. Malcolm's expression didn't waver as he stared at Derek. “You seem calm for someone whose empire is crumbling,” Malcolm began, running a hand through his hair. He looked visibly frustrated. He got up and began to pace, his body language was stiff and tense. "Nothing is going according to plan. Heck! I don't even know what the plan is anymore," Malcolm ranted, pacing back and forth. He looked very restless. "Hmph!" Derek snorted, his eyes narrowed dangerously. "I never thought you'd be this shifty and disturbed. And how you have the guts to strut in error after trying to betray me," the temperature in the room dropped drastically as Derek glared at Malcolm, his eyes icy. "I…" Malcolm swallowed but he shook his head immediately. "This isn't the time to point accusing fingers around Derek," he paused,
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 91: All He Cared About Was Her
My head was in the clouds as I walked through the garden, my heart beating with every step. The garden looked beautiful, but my mind wasn't there. Everything Darius had said earlier flashed through my head. 'I'd slapped Stephanie? How? When?' My eyes narrowed when I recalled my encounter with her some time back, she'd strutted around, very nearly getting under my skin if not for Uncle Sam. Yet she was accusing me of slapping her. Darius's reaction was what stung me the most, he'd glowered at me with dark cold eyes. Of Course he would, I looked down, filling my eyes. He cared for her, he always had. I'd been a fool not to see that. I was so constricted in thoughts I barely noticed Agatha approaching until her voice cut through the silence. "Serena," she said, startling me slightly. "I've been looking for you," she stared at me. I couldn't quite place what it was but something about her felt off, her tone unfamiliar. Cold."Sorry," I whispered under my breath. "I just ne

Darius’s POV The drive to the hospital felt unending, too many times I pressed harder on the gas, worry and panic pushing me on. I ignored the angry honks from irritated drivers as I sped past traffic lights and probably broke every law in the driver's rulebook. This was all my fault I thought, my hands tightening around the steering wheel. I'd hesitated and delayed in finding what to do with Serena. And now, this happened. The thought of Stephanie, pale and helpless in a hospital bed sent a wave of guilt and anger flooding into me, both warring for supremacy. My chest felt heavy when I finally drove into the hospital, it was a miracle I'd even arrived safely considering how recklessly I'd been driving. I strode quickly up the stairs, through the doors, and into the hospital. When I walked in I headed straight to the reception desk. A nurse dressed in scrubs was busy behind a computer screen. "I'm here for someone," I began, my heart beating erratically and my palms were swe

Serena’s POV The walls of the house felt like they were closing on me, suffocating my thoughts and breath as I paced back and forth. How could Darius accuse me of slapping Stephanie? It was outrageous I thought, the accusations hanging over me like a cloud. 'She wouldn't lie about this," Darius's words from earlier slammed into me like a punch to the gut. I didn't know what hurt me more. The fact that he'd rather believe Stephanie than me or the fact that he was fighting for her, not me. How had I become the villain in a story I didn’t even know I was a part of?He'd left, to go see her. The thought of the alarm and worry on Darius's face had deeply hurt me. "Serena," Marcella's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to meet her eyes and my heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong. She looked hesitant, almost like she didn’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but I needed answers."What happened?" I asked, trying to swallow the lump that formed in my throat. “
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 88: And Her Heart Broke
Serena’s POV My heart was heavy as I stood by the window, my eyes staring at the night view through the curtains. It was a beautiful sight but even that couldn’t ease the ball of tension that wound itself in my belly. My hands were trembling as I dialed Dylan’s number, my mind racing with thoughts. The line rang a few times before Dylan picked up. “Serena?” Dylan sounded surprised. I never called him, and why would I? He'd act coldly and disregard me and I'd learned to stay distant, at least until now. “Father,” I exhaled, trying to sound relaxed. “How's everything back at the pack?” I asked, steering the conversation. “Well,” Dylan sighed, his voice sounded weary. “The entire Pack's a mess, Derek made sure of that. The situation's under control but it's too early to give up,” my eyes narrowed as I listened to him. It was worse than I'd thought. “Darius's support has been very helpful,” Dylan added, his voice lightening up. My belly squeezed into knots when he mentioned Darius
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 87: Lies And Betrayal
Stephanie’s POV The place was dark and silent as I stepped out of my car, my eyes darting back and forth. Derek had arranged to meet here, I didn't know why but in any case I'd come. I was here for answers. I adjusted my coat as a chill assaulted me, and I made my way up the stairs leading to the mansion. ‘Hmph!’ I snorted coldly, gritting my teeth as I glared at the house, Derek had a lot of explaining to do. But even as I walked up the stairs, I couldn’t help the unease that bit into me. The guards by the door didn't even glance at me as I walked in, it was almost as if I was invisible. Derek was seated in the living room, the air was filled with the smell of cigarettes. I was surprised to see Cynthia, she was perched on the armrest of his chair. ‘What was she doing here?’ My brows shot up as I glanced at her, I could vividly recall the way she'd sulked off the last time I was here. “Stephanie,” Derek greeted, his eyes followed my movements as I stopped a few meters away.
