Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 56: Bonds in Turmoil
Serena “This…” the words lodged in my mouth as I tried to come to terms with what I'd just read. This couldn't be happening I thought, my hand holding the paper trembled and the words on the paper seemed to leap out at me. Derek was behind this. The sight of his handwriting made me feel pained for a moment I couldn’t breathe. He'd betrayed me, hurt me. And now, he held my father’s life in his hands.“He came so suddenly,” Susan continued, seeing me remain silent. “They killed…” her voice hitched and she covered her mouth. “They killed the guards and took your father away,” Susan’s eyes filled with tears. “I couldn’t do anything.” “Why is he doing this?” I felt like screaming but I couldn’t move and I could feel a wave of guilt crashing into me. I'd caused this, if it wasn't for me none of this would have happened I thought, fighting to hold back tears. “Serena,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I turned to see Darius walking toward me. He'd transformed back to his human

Serena’s POVWhat was he talking about? I wondered as I glanced between the two men. The last girl he sent to death? What was that all about? I wondered as my mind struggled to keep up with my thoughts. “Seems he didn't tell you,” Alex smirked as he folded his hands and glanced at me, his lips curled slightly. “I…” I swallowed and my gaze darted toward Darius. His face was set with a dark look. “Who are you talking about?” I finally asked after taking a deep breath. I felt Darius’s gaze sweep over but I didn’t relent, I wanted to know. “Brother,” Alex shifted his gaze to Darius, his tone filled with mockery. “Do you mind if I told Serena here about what you did?” Darius froze, his jaw tightening. The glance he shot Alex was more than a warning—it looked like a plea but I couldn't be sure. “Serena,” he began, his voice low, “you don’t need to—” “She doesn’t need to what, Darius?” Alex cut him off as he took a step forward. “Face the truth? The truth about how you promised someo

Cynthia’s POVCynthia’s face was ashen as she was driven home in a car her father had sent to fetch her. Her hands were clenched so tight her nails were biting into her skin but she didn’t seem to notice. Serena! Her eyes burned with a bright light as she silently recalled the humiliation she'd had to endure, her anger burning intensely within her. ‘You’ve dishonored this pack, and you’ve dishonored Serena…. And as for her father, he’s unfit to serve as Beta.’ Darius’s words seemed to echo in the small interior of the car, each word was like a dagger that stabbed at her pride. He had condemned her without hesitation, stripped her of any chance to explain or defend herself. “All because of that slut,” Cynthia mumbled under her breath, all thoughts of her past friendship with Serena gone. She couldn't imagine how her father would take the news, the thought of Malcolm’s forbidding gaze sent shivers down her spine. She had been so careful, so calculating, but it seemed none of her

I was shivering even though the room was at a moderate temperature but my mind wasn't even registering it. My feet felt frozen to the spot as Agatha’s words echoed in my mind: “She's dead.” The line was simple, final, and completely unnerving. Who was she? How did she die? What happened? Did Darius have anything to do with it? A flood of questions filled my mind but I didn't have any answers. “I…” Uncle Sam wanted to speak but he trailed off after Agatha shot him a glance. “Excuse me,” he murmured before he walked away. I barely registered his exit. “I'm sure you have questions,” Agatha began, her face was an unreadable mask. “But…” “There’s more to this, isn’t there?” I interrupted, my voice trembling. “What happened to her? Does Darius have to do with it?” My voice lowered to a tiny whisper and I felt a wave of dread as I waited for her to answer.Agatha didn't answer. She stared at me coldly, her sharp eyes locked onto mine. “You’ve asked enough questions for one day, Serena,

The call ended, but Derek’s voice stayed with me, like a storm cloud that wouldn’t clear. His threats, his venomous tone, and Father's faint, terrified plea were burned into my mind. I trembled on my feet, my knees felt weak and it took almost superhuman effort not to fall to the floor and burst into tears. But I wouldn't do that I thought, I wouldn't break. “Now isn't the time for tears, Serena,” I whispered to myself. Agatha said she would speak to the Elders. So I would have to wait for their decision. But waiting wasn’t a luxury I could afford. And deep down, I knew the elders wouldn’t lift a finger unless they thought it'd be for the benefit of the pack. Would saving Dylan benefit them? I didn't know, and I didn't dare bet on it. I had no illusions about where their loyalty lay.I needed someone who could stand against them. Someone who could make them listen.Darius.I sighed deeply at the thought of his name. The thought of him sent a jolt of conflicting emotions through m

Stephanie stood silently behind the cold steel walls of the interrogation room, her expression was unreasonable as she stared at the man behind the one-way glass. Dylan. “When is this going to end?” she snapped, turning to one of the men standing behind her. “I don't know,” the guard shook his head, his tone impassive. “Alpha Derek’s been with him since dawn.” “Alpha Derek?” Stephanie’s lip curled slightly, amused by the new form of address. He was no alpha she thought, staring at the scene through the glass. He was a thief, one who took his opportunity. One she needed to get Father to sign the damn papers. Stephanie’s mind raced as she observed the scene. Dylan was strapped to a chair, his face pale and blotched, a medic stood by the side, ready to administer treatment immediately if need be. Stephanie had insisted on it. She might have wanted his wealth, but not his life. This has to end soon, she thought, tapping her fingers lightly against her folded arms. Her entire plan d

Serena’s POV“Let me go!” I demanded again, my voice trembling despite my attempt to sound firm. Alex’s grip was wrong, I was sure I'd have bruises by the time he let go of my hand.To my surprise, his grip didn’t relax. If anything, it tightened.“Listen to me Serena,” Alex snapped, glancing at me. “You’re in way over your head. Do you think you know Darius? You don’t. Walk away before you regret it.”What! My heart beat erratically as I met his cold gaze. The subtle threat in his tone sent a shiver down my spine, and my heart clenched with both shock and hurt. This wasn’t the Alex I knew—the one who had always been kind, sweet, even protective. How had he become this stranger before me?“Alex,” I whispered, my voice breaking as I stared into his cold eyes. “Why are you doing this? You’re not…you’re not like this.”His expression flickered, just for a moment, like the Alex I once trusted was still somewhere inside. But it disappeared as quickly as it came. “You don’t understand,” he

Serena’s POV The air seemed still with unspoken words and I stared at Jake pleadingly. “Fine,” Jake nodded, relenting. He massaged his brows gently, “I'll take you to him,” he said, “But—” he held up a finger. “Only for a few minutes” he added, his expression serious. “If Darius finds out I let you see him…” He trailed off, shaking his head. “Let’s just say I’ll be lucky if I still have skin on my back.”“I understand,” I nodded quickly, my heart pounding. “Thank you,” I whispered, "I won’t take long, I promise.”Jake didn't answer and his jaw tightened, but he motioned for me to follow. “Leave,” he turned to glance at the guards who stood further off, then nodded and turned to leave without a word. He probably didn't want anyone knowing what we were going to do I thought, watching the guards leave. “Let's go,” Jake waited until they'd left before he motioned me to follow him. We walked into one of the adjourning buildings, and through some dimly lit halls in silence, the atmosph
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 75: Confrontations and Dilemmas
Serena’s POV I was deep in my thoughts when a knock at the door pierced the silence. I glanced up, surprised, as Susan stepped into the room. Her movements were slow and quiet as she drifted into the room, her gaze shifting nervously before settling on me.“Susan?” my eyes narrowed slightly. I was surprised to see her, and a moment later I frowned. There was something off about her I thought, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Her usual air of superiority was gone, replaced by something I couldn’t quite place.“Serena,” she began, her tone softer than I’d ever heard it.I straightened, sitting up while adjusting a pillow behind me, despite myself I was still wary of her. “What is it?”Susan hesitated, her hands twisting together. “I came to see how you were doing,” she beamed a smile at me as she fidgeted on the spot, unsure of whether to come close or stay where she was. “See me?”My brows shot up as her words threw me off, that was the last thing I'd expect Susan to
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 74: Revelations and Decisions
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
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 73: Unraveling Tensions
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
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 71: Clash of Shadows
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
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 70: Pursuit in the Shadows
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
Claimed by a Disabled Alpha Chapter 68: Echoes of Guilt
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
