Devoured (Alpha’s Claim #6)

Brenya Was I rescued, or was I captured? I’m not sure anymore. Jules Havel is an enigma. I know he’s capable of great violence, but he’s so gentle with me. Soft-spoken. Patient.

The exact opposite of the male he saved me from. But he has done terrible things. And I feel like it’s only a matter of time before he does them to me.

Jules I know exactly what I am. Dangerous. I watch. I wait. I understand how much pressure it takes to break a man. I’ve overthrown dynasties, ended civilizations. And fell in love.

Her name is Brenya, and I stole her from a fool I now keep in a cage for my amusement. She’s afraid of me, believes I cannot be trusted.

So I must teach my new wife that safety under Bernard Dome doesn’t come from freedom, it comes from choosing the right monster.

Jacques I will end Jules Havel and take back what’s mine.
