All Chapters of Claimed by a Disabled Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

DariusThe air outside the council felt like freedom as I stepped out, leaving those group of old foggeys behind me. I exhaled slowly, the tension leaving me as my tense shoulders relaxed and thoughts swirled inside my head. I'd not been as relaxed as I'd made myself look. Damn them! I snapped internally, my eyes narrowing. They hadn't cared that Alex had kidnapped Serena, hadn't cared at all. All they cared about were their interests. “Darius!” Agatha’s voice broke through the mess of thoughts in my mind. I hadn’t noticed when she'd walked out after me. I halted mid-stride, my jaw tightening as I turned to face her. “What is it, Mother?” I asked, my tone sharper than I intended. I forced a smile, “won't you join them in their discussion?” I waved my hand, gesturing back at the closed chamber. “No,” Agatha smiled a little. “They already know where I stand on this, there's no need for more formalities.” I felt a warm fuzzy feeling at her words and I smiled. “You need to be more

Serena’s POV I couldn’t stay still as I paced back and forth, my heart pounding erratically in my chest. The events of the day left me with a bad feeling in the pit of my belly. I was just sitting when the sound of footsteps approaching echoed in the corridor. Darius. I knew it was him even before the door swung open, slamming against the wall with that made me shiver. “Why did you go to see Alex?” Darius snapped his voice low. His eyes were narrowed as he stared at me. “Why would you go to him?”Jake told him? I froze, trying to take in his words. I blinked, trying to collect myself, but my mouth went dry. “Go to who?” I asked cautiously, though the answer was obvious.“Alex,” Darius clarified, his eyes on me. “You went to see him, don't act ignorant,” Darius growled, stepping further into the room and closing the door behind him with a sharp snap. His presence was overwhelming, his anger palpable, but there was something else in his gaze—something raw and vulnerable that I

Stephanie’s POVI was shaky as I walked in, the blood drained from my face. I looked like someone who'd just seen a ghost. Indeed I had, I thought, running a hand through my hair. I'd just seen Father. The same father who was supposed to still be with Derek? I exhaled slowly as I paced the room, thoughts swirling through my mind. Derek had promised me results, he'd promised to make sure Dylan signed those papers before he was released. Yet Dylan was here, my eyes narrowed as I paused in my steps. How could this have happened?This was supposed to be simple. Derek would pressure Dylan into signing the papers, keep Dylan there for a few days while I took the money, and was long gone then he’d be released. Nothing had gone according to plan. Dylan was back, and my hands were empty.I dialed Derek, my heart pounding. The phone rang once, twice, three times—straight to voicemail. “Pick the phone. C'mon!” I hissed, my frustration boiling over, and I redialed immediately.“Pick up, pic

Serena’s POV I couldn’t breathe, the length of the corridor seemed to stretch on forever and the walls seemed to close in on me, suffocating me. “Her birthmark. When I woke up, she was gone. I never thought I’d see her again, but now…”Darius’s words kept replaying in my head without stopping. Each time the pain I felt seemed to increase by another degree.My mind kept replaying Darius’s words, his expression, and the weight of what I’d overheard. It was too much. Darius and Stephanie? The thought sent a sharp pain darting into me and I nearly tripped over my feet. Had Darius been playing me all this while? I was just the foil while he searched for the woman he loved. To think I'd believed his words earlier, I sniffed, wiping my eyes. I didn't have a specific direction, my legs having a will of their own as I walked through the hallways. Before I knew anything I'd stepped outside and the cold air hit me with a vengeance.The wind was cold as it blew into me, and my eyes stung but

Serena’s POV I walked quickly, scared Darius might chase after me but I felt dejected when I didn’t hear any sounds of footsteps behind me. The hallway felt like it didn't have an end, it stretched on and on. Perhaps because I wanted to go to my room quickly, the one place where I could let go of the emotions that clogged up my throat. “Look who's here,” a voice broke the silence, snapping me out of my thoughts. My heart sank as I turned the corner, coming face to face with Stephanie. She had a wide smirk on her face as she stared at me, her eyes filled with faint amusement and mockery. “Serena,” she said, her voice was high and cheery, she couldn't have made it sound faker if she tried. I stopped, my stomach twisting into knots. “You look cheerful, Stephanie,” I commented, trying to keep my tone bland. I shifted, intending to walk past her. “Oh, come on,” Stephanie chuckled, stepping into my path. “Why are you in a hurry?” Stephanie’s eyes gleamed with undisguised glee. “It m
