Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball
Blurb
“I won’t be yours,” I whispered, heart pounding as the Lycan King’s massive frame caged me against the stone pillar.
His golden eyes burned with centuries of hunger. “You already are.”
••••••
Ava Moonveil never wanted to attend the Lycan King’s infamous Mating Ball. Fresh from a devastating breakup and done with love, she is dragged there by her stepmother, who sees her as a ticket to overnight riches.
But when the King’s eyes lock on her across the crowded ballroom, his wolf roars to claim her as his fated mate. Before she can run, she is publicly claimed… and then coldly sold by her own stepmother in a contract signed for wealth and power.
Now trapped in the King’s possessive world, Ava battles the magnetic pull of the bond while his ruthless brother offers her a way out, an escape that hides deadly ambition. As enemies close in and the King nearly dies protecting her, Ava faces the ultimate choice: stay and become Queen, or run with the man who promises freedom but plans her mate’s downfall.

Chapter: ShadowsCHAPTER 5ShadowsAVA'S POV. I felt a hand like iron wrap around my ankle. Before I could fall, I was pulled backward. Draken had flown up the ivy. He caught me mid-air as I tumbled from the wall. his body shielding mine as we slammed into the grass at the foot of the wall. He rolled, taking most of the impact, but i still felt pain in my left shoulder. “Fuck. ” I gasped.Another arrow had grazed me right as he caught me. Blood was already soaking through the navy gown. Draken’s body hardened beneath me. A low, dangerous growl rumbled from his chest. From the pain he just felt through the bond. I could feel it echoing back at me, his anger mixing with mine until I couldn’t tell whose emotions were whose.“Ava.” Kael’s voice shouted from somewhere behind us. Guards came running, torches flickering in the night.Kael found us first, eyes wide with worry. “Is she hurt? Let me see—”“Don’t you dare touch her,” Draken grumbled, He stood up with me still in his arms, holding me tight again

Chapter: The Court Of VulturesCHAPTER 4The court of vultures. AVA'S POV.Two days had passed since I almost stabbed him with that silver letter opener. The King’s suite felt like a cage. Draken hadn’t touched me since that night. He slept in the armchair by the window, eyes open every time I woke up, gone by the time I pretended to be asleep again. He didn’t force anything. He actually respected my “no.”That should have made me feel safer. It didn’t.Ash kept pacing inside me, restless and whimpering. I could feel his wolf too that heavy, frustrated pull through the bond that made my skin itch and my chest tight. It was exhausting fighting both of them. But today, the silence was over.“Hold still, My Queen,” Maya, the youngest lady from that night on which I was scrubbed, whispered, her fingers trembling as she tightened the corset of a navy blue gown. It was heavy, adorned with gold chains reminding me that I was bought. “I am not a queen, Maya.”I muttered, looking at my reflection. The mark on my neck had

Chapter: The Golden CageCHAPTER 3The Golden Cage AVA'S POVAs we took the hallway to the Royal wing the figure who had been lurking in the shadows stepped out. It appeared that he was a man. Who looked almost like Draken. He had a tall frame and a built body, his eyes were golden and just above his right eyebrow he had a scar that added to the handsome build of his face. He was a mini version of Draken but looks more easy to breathe around. He stepped in front of the guards. And they bowed immediately. “Prince Kael.” He waved his hand.“Leave us. I'll take her from here.” The guards immediately bowed and left. I lifted an eyebrow wondering how easily the guards obeyed him. The guards had called him Prince Kael. So he was probably Draken's brother. He took a step closer. His gaze looked at me with pity. He didn't even talk to me. He just stared at my disheveled dress and my tear-stained cheek which had dried off. He lifted a hand almost touching mine and I pulled back and snapped at him. “I've been bought

Chapter: SoldCHAPTER 2SOLDAVA'S POV. He bent down and his fangs sank into my neck. A wave of pain and unwanted pleasure crashed through me. The bond snapped. When he finally pulled back, blood on his lips and pure possession burned in his eyes. My knees felt weak and I could barely stand. But he still held me. “I don’t want this,” I gasped, tears slipped down my cheeks. “I don’t want you.”His jaw locked. “The bond doesn’t care what you want, little mate. You belong to me now.”He took my hand and pulled me through the crowd. I looked around for help and all I could see was the jealous, hateful glare of women. I saw Selene amongst the crowd and she looked at me with pure hatred and disgust. The King took me to a private study that smelled of old leather and books. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. The marking bite burned under my skin. Then the smell of Jasmine and old wine hit the air. Lydia was there her smile was too wide. Too fake. My gut twisted hard and I stared at the floor. “Your Majes

Chapter: BrokenCHAPTER 1BrokenAVA'S POV“You’re just a Beta’s daughter, Ava,” Jax’s voice echoed in my head. “I’m going to be Alpha. I need a mate who brings power, not just... you.”The silence in my bedroom was trying to choke me. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, but I didn't recognize the girl looking back. My eyes were puffy and bloodshot, the skin around them had turned red from hours of wiping away tears. Two years. I gave him two damn years of my life, trying to be exactly what he wanted, and this was how it ended in front of half the pack.“I loved you,” I whispered, my voice breaking even though I hated myself for it. Tears burned behind my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Not here. Not in front of themJax laughed. “Love? Come on, Ava. You’re just ordinary. The King’s ball is in two days and even your stepmother knows you don’t stand a chance. Face it you’re not queen material. You’re nothing special.” My stepsister Selene’s loud laugh cut through the noise like shattered gl
