The Dragon King's Traded Bride
SteamyForbidden LoveRebornDark RomanceDragonGod of WarPossessiveRevengeDrama
I died with my husband's betrayal on my lips and my unborn child in my womb.
One moment I was Mia Weston — billionaire, wife, mother-to-be. The next, I was gone. Erased. Traded like a chess piece by the man who swore to love me forever.
Then I woke up.
Silk sheets. Marble walls. A maid calling me "My Lady."
And a father I had never met looking me dead in the eyes saying —
"You have been promised to King Zyren of the Draconis Throne. You leave at sunrise."
I thought I was dreaming.
I was wrong.
King Zyren is not a man. He is ancient, ruthless, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only dangerous things are. He doesn't smile. He doesn't explain. He simply looks at me like I am something he has been waiting for — and that look alone makes my whole body tremble.
He calls me his traded bride.
I call him my nightmare.
But nightmares don't look at you like you are the only breathable air in a burning room.
Nightmares don't press you against cold stone walls and whisper "You will learn your place, little human" with a voice so deep it rewrites your bones.
And nightmares definitely don't make you forget — even for one dangerous, breathless second — the man who killed you.
I was sold to settle a debt.
He had waited centuries for exactly me.
Neither of us was prepared for what came next.

Chapter: Cecilia Has a ProblemShe still had not walked straight by the time she reached the corridor.Which was irritating. Mia Weston had walked out of board meetings where men twice her age tried to dismantle everything she had built, walked out steady and composed, heels clicking, not a single crack showing. She had held together through her husband's betrayal, through dying, through waking up in a completely different world wearing someone else's face.One man walking through her fire and saying neither do I was apparently the thing that got her."My Lady."Cecilia was waiting at the corridor junction, arms full of fresh linens, looking at Mia's face with the expression of a woman reading a book she had not been given permission to read."Not a word," Mia said."I have not said anything…""You are about to.""I was simply going to ask how training went." Cecilia fell into step beside her, completely innocent. "Your hair smells like smoke.""Training went fine.""Mm." A pause. "Is the courtyard still standing?"

Chapter: Fire Without PermissionShe was still thinking about the chair.About him sitting in it all night, still dressed, walls completely down, those ember eyes on her face the moment she opened hers, like he had been watching her sleep and had zero intention of pretending otherwise. About the way he said where was I supposed to go, like it was the simplest answer in the world. About Cecilia's voice through the door, bright with victory, breakfast is ready whenever you choose to emerge.She was still thinking about all of it when a knock came at her door barely an hour after breakfast, before she had even finished her coffee.She opened it.Zyren stood in the corridor, already dressed for the training yard, no jacket, sleeves rolled to the elbow, looking like a man who had decided something before the sun finished rising."Training," he said.“No greetings?""Not necessary… the heartstone is waking. The longer we wait the less control you have over what it does next." He looked at her coffee. "Bring that if you nee

Chapter: The Wrong RoomThe wedding wine of Draconis was nothing like anything Mia had ever tasted in either of her lives… dark red, almost black, poured from bottles so old the glass had gone cloudy, tasting of crushed berries and woodsmoke, with something underneath both that loosened every carefully held knot in her shoulders before she had even finished the first glass. Warmth spread through her chest like a slow tide with nowhere to rush.She had three glasses before she thought to count, four before she stopped counting entirely.The great hall was transformed tonight. Every torch replaced with flames that burned violet and gold, white flowers cascading from the rafters in long dramatic sweeps, the whole court dressed in their finest for a wedding that Zyren had announced two weeks ago with the same tone he used for everything he decide… which was to simply state it and let the world arrange itself accordingly.He had not asked her, not exactly. He had come to her in the study three days after the hear

Chapter: What He KnowsShe went to him. Not because he summoned her or Cecilia suggested it. She simply found herself standing outside his study after dinner, knocking once before opening the door without waiting for permission. At this point, it felt almost normal. Zyren stood by the window with his back to her, one hand braced against the stone frame as he looked out over the dark valley below. Firelight stretched across the room behind him, warm against the night pressing at the glass. He did not turn when she entered. “I was wondering how long you would last,” he said. “I managed four whole hours after the hearing,” Mia replied as she shut the door behind her. “That feels impressive, personally.” “It does.” Only then did he look at her. “Sit down.” “You are always telling me to sit down.” “Yes, because you refuse the first instruction on principle.” His mouth shifted faintly. “Eventually you decide it was your own idea, and then you cooperate.” She rolled her eyes but sat anyway. In the chai

Chapter: The WitnessThe witness arrived on a Thursday. Mia knew before Cecilia even spoke. The castle had changed. Not openly, nothing dramatic. But the atmosphere felt tighter somehow, like the entire building was holding onto a secret and pretending it was not. Servants moved faster through the halls. Guards appeared in corridors that had been empty yesterday. Conversations stopped the moment someone entered a room. It was the silence that gave it away most. “A man from the Ashveil estate arrived before dawn,” Cecilia said as she set breakfast on the table. Her hands were steady enough for anyone not paying attention, but Mia noticed the slight stiffness in her movements. “He came with Lord Soren’s escort.” She sat across from Mia without waiting for permission. That alone told Mia how serious this was. “He says he was there the night the real Mia Ashveil died,” Cecilia continued carefully. “He claims he helped prepare the body. He also says Lord Ashveil paid him to stay quiet.” Mia lowered her

Chapter: The Price of a GhostThe invitation arrived with breakfast. A cream-coloured card rested beside Mia’s plate, the handwriting so precise it barely looked human. The seal of House Caine sat stamped in dark red wax. Lady Vesperia requested the pleasure of Lady Mia’s company for a private ladies’ tea that afternoon. The wording was elegant. The warmth behind it was not. “Do not go,” Cecilia said immediately. “I have to.” “You absolutely do not.” “If I refuse, I look frightened. If I look frightened, she wins.” Mia picked up her tea. “What is the worst she can do at a ladies’ gathering?” Cecilia stared at her in disbelief. “My Lady… Vesperia Caine poisoned a duchess over a seating arrangement.” Mia blinked. “The duchess survived,” Cecilia continued carefully, “but she has not eaten solid food in three years. Vesperia visited her afterward with flowers and sympathy. Nobody could prove anything.” A short silence followed. “Does Zyren know?” “Everyone knows.” Cecilia lowered her voice. “Nobody speak

Nova Ellis has three problems.
The first is Drey — her best friend, the boy who held her together when her dad died. She doesn't love him that way. She doesn't. But somehow they ended up in a school restroom doing things best friends should never do, promised each other never again, and have broken that promise five times. Five. They keep saying last time like either of them actually means it.
The second is the letter. Three pages of everything she has ever felt for Leo Carter — the sweet parts, the embarrassing parts, the midnight fantasy parts that should never have left her diary. Handed to the wrong person by accident. Read out loud. Every word.
The third is Rhys Caldwell. The boy who read that letter with a straight face. The boy she planned to avoid forever.
The boy now living in her stepfather's house, down the hall, separated by one very thin wall.
Same house. Same dinner table. Same dangerous, electric, completely impossible situation.
Nova had one plan this year. One boy. One letter.
She didn't plan for any of this.
But the real question is —
How long can you share a home with someone who already knows your deepest secret before you give them something even more dangerous?
Your heart.

Chapter: The Rules of the HouseNobody prepared me for what it actually meant to live with Rhys Caldwell.Not the assistant thing. Not the letter thing. Not even the swimming pool disaster or the midnight hallway negotiation that had somehow turned my entire senior year into a hostage situation.Nobody warned me about the mornings.Day three. Six fifty-two. I shuffled toward the kitchen in my oversized sleep shirt, hair doing something tragic, brain not yet technically online, thinking about nothing except coffee and whether I could drink it in peace before the world required anything from me.I pushed the kitchen door open.Rhys was standing at the counter.Shirt in his hand. Not on his body. In his hand, like he had just picked it up and had not yet decided what to do with it. His back was to me… broad, clean lines, the kind of effortless build that comes from actually using your body and not thinking about it… and he was reaching for something on the upper shelf with his free hand like this was a completely norma

Chapter: Assistant DutiesNobody told me assistant duties started at seven in the morning.I found out when Rhys knocked on my bedroom door at six fifty-eight, already dressed, looking like he had been awake for hours, holding two cups of coffee like this was completely normal.He held one out.I stared at it. Then at him. Then at the coffee again."What is this," I said."Coffee.""I can see that.""You looked like you needed it yesterday." He set it on the small table beside my door when I didn't take it. "Seven forty-five. Don't be late." He walked back down the hallway without another word.I stood there for a full ten seconds.Then I picked up the coffee.It was made exactly the way I liked it.I did not think about how he knew that. I absolutely thought about it the entire way to school.—Day two of assistant duties was somehow louder than day one.The whispers had graduated overnight from confusion to full opinions. I could feel them the second we walked through the front entrance… eyes tracking us, he

Chapter: His RulesThe hallway was dark, quiet and I was still standing outside his door like an idiot when it opened again.Rhys leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, looking at me with the expression of someone who had been expecting this."You're still here," he said."I was just leaving.""You've been standing outside my door for two minutes."I opened my mouth. Closed it. There was genuinely nothing to say to that.He looked at the letter in my hand. Then back at my face. Something shifted in his expression… not mean, not warm, just calculated in a way that made my stomach tighten."I have a proposal," he said."I don't want your proposal.""You haven't heard it yet.""Whatever it is the answer is no."He tilted his head slightly. "Even if it involves the letter?"I went very still.He smiled. Not the warm one he gave his dad at dinner… the other one. The one that meant he already knew how this conversation was going to end."There are copies," he said simply. "I took pictures… every fucking

Chapter: Wrong House, Wrong Guy, Wrong EverythingNobody moved.We just stood there, both dripping from the pool, staring at each other in the kind of silence that only happens when the universe has officially lost its mind.Rhys spoke first."So." He tilted his head slightly. "Stepsisters, hmm… Interesting development.""Don't." I pointed at him. "Don't say a single word. Just don't ever say anything about the letter again, and I'll pretend this whole day never happened.""What letter?""Rhys.""I don't know what you're talking about." He smiled. His hands were behind his back.Something about that made me look down.He was unzipping my bag.Slowly, quietly. While looking me dead in the eye and talking like nothing was happening."Give me my bag…"Too late. His hand came back around and there it was. My letter, held up between two fingers like a trophy.I screamed."You went through my bag! That is literally illegal…""You left it unzipped.""GIVE IT BACK…"I grabbed for it. He pulled back. I grabbed again, he stepped sideways, I lu

Chapter: The LetterEveryone was gone.Chairs scraping, bags zipping, people spilling out the door like the bell was a personal attack on their freedom. I was halfway out of my seat when his voice stopped me."Miss Ellis. Please wait behind."My whole body went stiff.Priya looked back at me from the doorway. I gave her the smile that meant I'm fine, go, I will tell you everything later, and she disappeared. Then it was just me and Mr. Vance and the kind of silence that has actual weight to it.I walked up slowly and stopped in front of his desk. Kept my face completely neutral like a person who had absolutely nothing to feel guilty about."What's your name?" he asked."Nova," I said. "Nova Ellis… you said my surname earlier, and I'm curious how you knew that."He looked at me for a second. Then that small smile came onto his face. Not mean. Just… knowing, like he found something quietly funny that he wasn't going to share."Nova." He said it slowly, like he was filing it away somewhere. "Funny thing… I

Chapter: Game Day"Nova, are you even watching?" Priya screamed over the crowd."I'm watching." God… I wasn't watching. I was busy watching Leo.Leo Carter, number seven, Westfield Academy's best student. In my very humble and totally unbiased opinion, the most beautiful human being to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. He moved across the ice like he owned it… urhhgg, he's so unique, calm and clean.I had been practicing what I wanted to say to him for three weeks. Three weeks of mirror rehearsals, and gluing sticky notes on my room mirror so that I won't make a single mistakeToday was the day. After this match, I was going to walk up to Leo Carter, hand him the letter I had been rewriting since Tuesday, and finally stop being a coward… I'm gonna confess my love for him today.That was the plan.Then the crowd went crazy.Not for Leo, but for someone else."Oh my God, who is THAT?" Priya grabbed my arm so hard I almost dropped my hot chocolate.I looked toward the ice.There was a new player cutti
