SOLD TO THE WEREWOLF KING
I sold my body to a Werewolf King to save my sister's life.
The contract was simple: I become the silent, obedient wife of Kaelen, the most ruthless Alpha in the city, for five years. In return, he pays for the cure that will save her. He is a monster of ice and power, a king who rules from a skyscraper throne. I am just a human, a pawn in a game I don't understand.
He thinks he owns me. He lays down the rules with a voice like frozen steel: Don't touch me. Don't ask questions. And never, ever look me in the eye.
But the first time his skin brushes mine, a searing energy erupts between us. His cold control shatters, and for a single, terrifying second, his eyes flash with feral gold. He shoves me away like I’ve burned him, his snarl echoing through our gilded cage, "Get out!"
Now, I'm trapped in his world of deadly pack politics and ancient magic. He's cruel, distant, and yet his gaze follows my every move, burning with a possessive fire that contradicts every word he says.
I’ve just discovered the dangerous truth he’s been hiding:
I am not just his purchased bride.
I am his fated mate.
And the powerful enemy hunting us has just found out that the key to destroying the Werewolf King… is me.

Chapter: Chapter 17: What the Ashes HoldThe ruins of St. Augustine’s Orphanage did not smolder. They were a cold, wet corpse, the recent fire quenched by the firefighters but the death of the place long since a certainty. It stood on the city's forgotten edge, a skeleton of blackened brick and jagged, glass-toothed windows, silhouetted against a bruised twilight sky. The air was a foul cocktail of wet ash, charred wood, and the faint, sweet smell of accelerant. Vorian hadn’t just wanted to destroy records; he’d wanted to erase a place.Kaelen moved through the wreckage like a phantom, his senses extended, reading the story of the fire in the way the beams had fallen, the specific, surgical destruction. I followed, my boots crunching on soaked cinders, the weight of a thousand silent childhood memories pressing down on me. This was where I learned to be invisible. This was where the shadows became my only friends.“He was here,” Kaelen murmured, his voice cutting through the damp silence. He knelt, brushing his fingers over

Chapter: Chapter 16: Scent of a GhostThe shattered phone was not just a piece of broken technology; it was the final, fragile thread of our patience, snapping. The ghost was no longer in the machine. It was in our blood, in our memories, and it was reaching for the one person I had fought so hard to protect.Kaelen’s cold fury was a physical force that reshaped the very air in the penthouse. The low-level static he’d been feeding the bond sharpened into a blade’s edge of focused intent. He was no longer just creating noise. He was building a fortress, brick by psychic brick, and I could feel the immense strain it put on him.“We cannot defend against what we do not understand,” he stated, his voice gravelly with fatigue and rage. He stood before a large smart screen he’d had installed in his study, now covered in a chaotic web of lines, photos, and text. It was a map of our war, but the battlefield was intangible. “He is using the bond as a backdoor into your consciousness. We must find the vulnerability he’s exploiting

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Ghost in the SystemOur victory was a potent, heady thing, but it was short-lived. The silence that followed our counter-strike felt less like peace and more like the calm before a storm of a different, more insidious kind. Vorian had learned that a direct psychic assault was costly. He would not make the same mistake twice.The shift in his tactics was first noticed not by Kaelen or me, but by the pack.It began with small, unsettling glitches. Marcus, Kaelen’s newly promoted Beta, reported that the perimeter sensors around the pack’s rural compound were triggering randomly, showing phantom breaches that vanished as quickly as they appeared. Then, the pack’s secure financial network experienced a series of sophisticated, deniable cyber-attacks that siphoned insignificant amounts of money—a clear message of “I can touch you here, too.”Kaelen’s rage was a cold, focused thing now. He spent hours in his study, his brow furrowed as he analyzed the digital footprints. “He’s probing for a new weakness. He’s m

Chapter: Chapter 14: The ScarIn the days that followed Vorian's sonic assault, a dull, persistent ache took root deep in my chest, centered on the silvery tether of our bond. It was a constant, grim reminder that our connection was no longer just a private sanctuary; it was a battlefield, and the enemy had artillery that could strike from anywhere.Kaelen was a man transformed. The controlled Alpha was gone, replaced by a bristling, volatile force of nature. He barely slept. He paced the penthouse like a caged tiger, his senses stretched to their limits, perpetually waiting for the next attack. The bone resonator was locked away, but its malignant presence seeped into every silence.Our training became desperate, brutal."We cannot be passive," he growled, his eyes glowing with barely-contained fury. We were back in the sanctum, but the air was no longer one of study; it was a war room. "Shielding is not enough. He has proven he can pierce it. We must learn to counter-strike.""Counter-strike? How?" I asked, my v

Chapter: Chapter 13: First NoteThe bone resonator did not leave Kaelen’s possession. It became a dark lodestone, a constant, silent third presence in the penthouse. He studied it for hours, his face a grim mask, his fingers tracing the chaotic spiral etched into its base as if he could decipher its secrets through touch alone. The air itself felt thin, stretched taut by the unspoken question: When would the first note be played?My training shifted, becoming more urgent, more brutal. It was no longer about awareness or subtle pulses. It was about survival.“He will attack through the bond,” Kaelen said, his voice stripped of all emotion. We stood in the center of his sanctum, the books watching us like silent witnesses. “He will try to use it to inflict pain, to cause confusion, to shatter your mind. You cannot block it. You must learn to absorb the blow and redirect its energy.”“How?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.“By making the fortress flexible. By understanding that the bond is not a wall, but a web. Whe

Chapter: Chapter 12: The Discordant NoteIn the days following Vorian's psychological assault, the penthouse became our fortress and our training ground. Kaelen was a relentless architect, and I was his sole pupil, learning to fortify the silvery tether that bound my soul to his. We learned to speak in pulses—a flicker of caution, a spark of focus, a steady hum of presence. The bond was no longer a ghost; it was a living, breathing thing we were learning to arm. It was during one of these exercises, as I practiced building a mental shield around our connection, that the first intrusion came. It was subtle. A single, dissonant vibration that shivered down the tether, like a drop of ice-cold water falling into a warm pool. It was gone as quickly as it came, but the chill it left behind lingered in my veins. My eyes snapped open. Kaelen was already watching me, his body coiled tight. “Report,” he commanded, his voice low. “Something… touched the bond. It was cold. It didn’t feel like you.” I wrapped my arms around myself,
