All Chapters of The alpha’s claim : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

She pulled the blanket over her head to shield the light slipping in from the windows. She rolled to the other side of the bed, facing the wall. She took a deep breath, smiling in her sleep. But something didn’t feel right. She felt extremely comfortable, too comfortable. The bed was soft and relaxing, but it didn’t feel like the usual place she slept every day. Neither did the pillow and blanket smell like marshmallows. It smelled nice, minty and masculine, but mild.She opened her eyes slowly, pulling the blanket off her face. She wasn’t in her house; she wasn’t at home. Where she was, it was finely decorated and expensive. But it wasn’t unfamiliar. That was Asher’s house. Her heart palpitated; she grabbed the sheets against her chest. She had been there before.She looked around the room skeptically, hopeful that she was the only one, that no one was with her on the bed. She turned slowly; when she saw no one, she heaved a sigh of relief. How did she always end up where h

Aria noticed the deep frown on Asher's face the moment he took her phone. She checked it when he gave it to her, but didn’t see anything – no message from anyone, no call. She was sure she had heard her phone vibrate. But then she saw another notification from an app. Maybe that was it. But he didn’t say anything; he had passed the phone to her as he ordered his mom to leave them, claiming Aria had other things, like school, to attend to.She dressed up in appropriate clothes that one of the servants brought to her and went to meet Asher, who was already waiting for her in the car. She got in silently, avoiding eye contact with him. He was frowning, and Aria wasn’t about to poke her nose where it didn’t belong. It was surprising that he was driving himself; she thought CEOs didn’t drive themselves.“Do you have to go to school?” His deep voice startled her out of her thoughts.She turned to him. “No, I don’t. I’m already late,” she mentioned. She was glad the next week was declared

**Matured content**After dinner that day, Aria went into her room to rest after saying their goodnights. It was still quite early, about 7 pm in the evening, so she decided to watch a movie before going to bed by 10. She could only sleep by 10, and she planned on waiting for her sister to come back. She turned on her laptop and searched for a movie; Dark Desire was amongst the top because Mitch had sent it to her without permission. She claimed she needed something steamy, even if it wasn’t real life. She came here for a break, didn’t she? Watching a porn movie wouldn’t be all that bad. Reluctantly, Aria pressed play.A few minutes later, Aria was tensed up and would really need some help with herself. She was damn horny and didn’t know what to do. It was rare. Sometimes, she felt like she was born without human desires. But recently, she didn’t know if it was her boss that ignited that side of her or the alcohol, but she knew she was acting out of character.Aria pushed back

He couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t get his mind off her. That was new. He had known her for a while, but she had never had that much impact on him.He rolled to his side for what felt like the hundredth time. He had been back an hour ago. It was a long time, enough time to get his mind off her, off what had just happened, off what he had just done, and off her scent. His mate.A low, deep growl left his throat, frustrated and confused. Why was she aroused? What was she doing before he came?Her smell was the best thing he’d ever perceived. He wondered how it would look, wet and soaking, throbbing.His thoughts weren’t making things easier, only harder. His cock was painfully hard, making Asher wonder if it would burst.“Shit,” he cursed, sitting up. Looking down at himself, his dick stood tall, making him aware of the desires his body sought.These past few weeks, since he found his mate, Asher hadn’t been able to touch anyone, to sleep with anyone. He had no desire whatsoever to want

“The alpha’s turn out?” Alex asked with a flinch.Aria frowned. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the place? It’s okay if you can’t go; we’ll just get a cab.”She didn’t miss the way his eyes shifted from worry to contemplation. She really didn’t want him to think he couldn’t say no.“No, it’s not that. I’m just surprised. You work there?” he asked her with amusement.She didn’t even try to hide it. “Why? Is the place bad? Do they kill people and hide their bodies?” she asked jokingly.It was an obvious joke, but the fact that he didn’t smile and seemed deep in thought wiped away the smile on her face. Worry crept in. “Hey, should we be worried?” she said with a serious expression.Alex burst into laughter, and Aria slapped his arm when she realized he was teasing her.“You watch too many movies, don’t you?” he asked, laughing even harder.“It’s not my fault that I read your expression. You had me worried.”“Well, for what it’s worth, Asher is not a killer. I know him; w
