Claimed By My Enemy Alpha Book 2-2
“Alpha Callahan,” Larson greeted him before his eyes landed on me. First there was surprise, and then obvious hunger. “This is your daughter?”
“Indeed. Nyx Callahan, my glittering gem.”
I almost vomited at the sound of fake pride in his voice. Instead, I bowed my head and curtsied as much as I could without ripping the fabric of my dress.
“I’m sure you’ll find she’ll make an excellent mate for you.”
That was why we were all there: for Larson to choose his wife, and from what my father told me, there weren’t many women for him to choose from. At least, none with my pedigree, as he liked to
say.
He didn’t mean the pedigree from my mother. She, according to him, was nothing more than a tramp hitchhiking on the side of the road. But he’d come from a long line of alphas, practically
royalty.
“You have your mother’s face and body. Larson won’t be able to say no.”
From the way Larson was looking at me, my father was right.
My father’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket. “I’m afraid that I need to leave. You’ll take care of her for the evening and get her back home to me in the morning, won’t you Larson?” He winked and finally released me as he turned away.
As always, I felt the tension ease out of my body when my father left. One monster was gone. Now it was time to see what kind of wolf I’d be marrying.
“A dance?” Larson asked as he held out his hand.
“Of course.” Heart fluttering in my chest, I accepted his offer, and he pulled me into an open space and flattened me against his body. Unaccustomed to the touch of a man, I stiffened.
His hand moved down my back and cupped my ass as he grumbled. Remembering my father’s words, I forced a smile. There were things I was supposed to say to Larson, but my mind went
blank.
Larson noticed. “You don’t say much. I like that,” he rumbled. “You’re a mystery, Nyx. Everyone knows that Bruce has a daughter. He talks about her all the time, but no one has ever seen you. Now I see why. He must keep you under lock and key, although I hear you slip out your window from time to time. I like a rebellious spirit.”

Wait, what? How did he know about my window? My father certainly didn’t know. If he ever found
out, I’d be locked in the basement for sure.
“I am obedient,” I whispered. “I’ll be obedient to you.”
“Yes, I’ve also heard you have a very obedient wolf. I like that, too.” His hand squeezed my ass. This is a very interesting dress that you’re wearing. What do you say we go somewhere more private so I can see it better?”
This was it. This was the moment I’d been waiting for, to let Larson get a good look at the goods, as my father liked to call it.
Except, I couldn’t do it. My chest was tight, and it was getting even harder to breathe. The room was starting to spin.
Instead of letting him walk me through the crowd, I tried to pull away, but his hand circled my wrist. “What do you think you’re doing, little red?”
“I just…I need some air.”
“What’s wrong? Worried about your lover?”
“My…what?” Surely, I’d heard him wrong.
“Your horde of lovers?” His voice rose and his smile turned cold. “I know all about you, Nyx Callahan. I know what you’ve been getting up to at night, and I know what your father wants.”
At night? I just sat on the roof and tried to pretend I was free as I felt the goddess bathe me in her moonlight.
“My father…he wants us to marry…” I whispered as my mind whirled. The situation was not at all what I’d imagined or planned for. Part of me had hoped that Larson was my hero, maybe even a true mate, someone who would love me and see me as an equal. Another, more realistic part of me simply hoped that he would fuck me at night and ignore me during the day, and I’d finally be able to roam and have some freedom.
