All Chapters of Claimed by the three Alphas: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Serena’s POVThe infirmary was quiet now, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the far wall. Little Apollo had finally drifted into deep sleep, his tiny fingers curling slightly as he lay nestled beneath a soft blanket in a separate room. Now, I sat stiffly on the infirmary bed, the weight of exhaustion still pressing on my limbs. My fever had dulled, but the stiffness in my joints remained, making every movement feel sluggish. Across from me, Dorian sat with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes studying me intently. He had still not said anything about my earlier question.There was something different about the way he looked at me, something calculating, as if he was trying to decide whether or not to speak. He finally exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Even if we're mates, it still doesn't mean you'll choose me." I frowned. "What?" "You have three mates," he said plainly. "It's not just me. You have choices, Serena, three choices." A humorless laugh escaped my lips.

Serena’s POVI sighed, resigning myself to my current predicament. There was no getting out of Damien’s grip anytime soon. His fur was warm and fluffy, unexpectedly so.The small pill bottle I had kicked earlier lay just within reach. I carefully stretched out my hand, gripping it. The scent hit me immediately, sleeping pills.That explained a lot. I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of exhaustion pulling at me. Maybe it was just the warmth, or maybe it was the lingering smell of the pills, but my eyelids grew heavy, and before I knew it…I gave into the darkness. When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that the weight against me was gone. The warmth, the solid grip had completely disappeared. The second thing I noticed was Damien. He was sitting a few feet away, shirtless, flipping through the medical records. The ones I had tried to steal!I sat up so fast my vision blurred. “What are you doing?” Damien didn’t even glance at me. “You talk too much when you sleep.” “Wha

Serena’s POVShe studied me for a moment, her sharp gaze unreadable. “Have you noticed anything different lately?”I hesitated. “Different?”Her lips pressed together in thought before she finally said, “No one has tried to harm you recently, correct?”I blinked at the unexpected question. Now that she mentioned it… I realized she was right. Except from early, Winnie had been distant from me. Before, I had always been wary of the other maids. They whispered behind my back, gave me extra work, and some weren’t afraid to get physical when they thought they could get away with it. But recently, things have changed.Winnie and the others had confronted me, yes, but they hadn’t threatened me. And no one else had dared to lay a hand on me.The realization sent a shiver down my spine.Someone had ordered them to leave me alone.“Who…” I swallowed hard. “Someone made them stop?”The head maid gave a small, knowing smile. “Who do you think?”I couldn’t think of anyone, but there could only be

Serena’s POVThe moment the maid gasped in exaggerated horror, I knew exactly what was coming. I had come to the kitchen to take my food that afternoon, but the way she clutched the empty jewelry case to her chest, trembling as if she’d just witnessed a murder, made it clear, this was not a coincidence.“The former Luna’s brooch is missing!” she cried, her voice thick with feigned distress.The other maids immediately fell silent, their gazes darting around the room, searching for someone to blame.I didn’t have to guess who their target was.Their eyes landed on me almost immediately.Winnie and the maid must’ve planned everything with the rest of the maids who obviously hated me for what they thought was me seducing the Alphas.I felt it before anyone said a word, the heavy weight of accusation pressing against my skin, wrapping around my throat like an invisible noose. Then one of them finally said it.“I saw her,” a younger maid spoke up, hesitation laced in her voice. “Serena l

Serena’s POVRhett grabbed me just then, pulling me to his body which was warm against mine. He exhaled a sharp breath, pulling back slightly, but his arm remained protectively around my waist.Damien’s eyes flickered to his hands and then at my face and his entire body stiffened.“Serena.” His voice was low, rough, and unmistakably demanding. “Come here.”A shiver ran down my spine, but not from fear.Anger burned in my chest, simmering under my skin like an open flame.Before I could respond, another voice cut in.“Damien, enough,” Dorian said, stepping into the kitchen with his usual calm authority. His eyes moved between us, assessing the situation. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Rhett’s hand on my waist. “Let’s not make a scene.”Damien didn’t even glance at him. His eyes stayed locked on mine.“I asked you a question,” he said. “Did you choose him?”Rhett scoffed. “Oh, for fuck’s sake..”“Serena…”“I caused the explosion,” Rhett admitted, rubbing the back of his neck wi
