All Chapters of Claimed by My Bully Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Caleb’s P.O.V“Good evening ladies and gentlemen!” Caroline’s father took the microphone to make the announcement, grabbing everyone’s attention instantly. “The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here! Please welcome the birthday boy and his beautiful date onstage.”‘I’m so sorry.’ Caroline told me via the mental bond. ‘First the dress and now this…I don’t think he understands that mating bonds can’t be forced.’‘It’s alright.’ I smile at her outwardly as I kept up the mental connection. ‘Let’s just get this show over with.’‘Yes, everything will become clear in a few seconds.’ Caroline added as I got on stage and helped her up.The crowd, that consisted of all unmated women of the pack and beyond, from teens to young adults, looked at me expectantly, and I couldn’t help but feel my heart thrashing inside my chest as the weight of their combined glances weighed heavily on my shoulders.“No! Caleb, there’s only a minute left for the clock to strike midnight and for the big reveal.”

Caleb's P.O.V:I raced through the forest, with Aurora on my back, holding on for dear life. She face was buried in my fur and I could feel her entire body trembling, but I was unable to tell if it was from fear or pain.I took the path that led to the pack grounds. It was a longer path than the streets, but I wasn’t going to use the front entry as it was going to be surrounded by guests who were already told to leave by my father himself. I don’t know what happened to Shane, but I was sure that father would take care of him too. He was a fair and just Alpha and he didn’t differentiate in punishment, even if it was his own son.‘Tell the doctors to prepare a bed and be ready to receive a human patient,’ I telepathed Jade, as he was the only one I could trust right now, apart from Caroline. ‘Inform Caroline too. I’m nearly there.’I hadn’t trusted myself to take Aurora to a human hospital. I needed her to be near me, around people I could trust to treat her well and people who wouldn’t

Caleb’s P.O.VIt was an odd sensation…this rejection…I know Aurora didn’t reject me as her mate, but the fact that she had cowered away from me, with that horrified expression on her face…it was no less than an actual rejection. And the more I thought about it, the more helpless I felt.I had never been helpless in my life before, but for the first time, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how I could make it all better so Aurora wouldn’t be scared of me, and I didn’t know what to do to make her pain and anguish disappear.The poor girl had been suffering for so long…and I couldn’t believe how oblivious I had been all this time. I had seen the bruises from time to time, knew that her father was a drunk and a gambler, but never in my wildest imaginations had I thought he would go as low as to sell his own flesh and blood off to a bunch of-Suddenly, the piercing ring from a phone call brought me back to the present, and I saw my father dig into his pant pockets to fish out his pho

Caroline’s P.O.VMy heart broke for Aurora. She had been through so much in such a short amount of time and I haven’t even told her the most vital part yet.“Do you want me to leave?” I asked her, hoping that she would disagree. “I can come back tomorrow morning, or-”“Stay with me!” Aurora caught my arm before I could finish the sentence. “Please.”Looking into her huge blue eyes, I felt a surge of relief that she wanted me to stay, but at the same time, an overwhelming feeling of guilt filled my heart. If Caleb hadn’t found out she was his mate, then we would have never known the life she was living. Would any of us had gone out of our way to help her or would we have kept our distance…never knowing the pain she was suffering in silence…until one day, she would be just another name in our distant memories.It made me feel like a horrible person. Knowing that it would’ve been her fate because we didn’t get involved in human matters, and neither were we allowed to harm them.“I think

Caleb’s P.O.VShane took one look at me and his eyes widened in surprise.“You know…” he whispered through swollen lips.I nodded, debating on how to handle the situation. Even if he had acted out of anger and resentment for Aurora hitting a nerve close to home, he had crossed several boundaries and he had to face punishment for them accordingly. If going to this camp in New York helped him become a better person, so be it.He was pretty beat up. Now that it was broad daylight, I could see that his entire face was pretty badly messed up. I had gone too far as well. In my anger, I hadn’t acted very rationally as a future Alpha should.“I’m sorry, for hitting you like this.” I told him, because I didn’t want him to leave on a bad note either. Shane had been my friend since we were little and he had already gotten his punishment. What was the point of me adding salt to his injuries?“I deserved it.” He said now, lowering his head. “I shouldn’t have acted like a jerk all this time. I shou
