MAYA

The red haired girl's name was Nora.

She had stood in my doorway trembling like a leaf and whispered an apology so fast I barely caught the words. She said the woman in the kitchen forced her to spill the water. She said if she refused she would lose her job and be thrown out of the kingdom with nowhere to go.

I told her I understood. I told her it was okay.

She looked at me like no one had ever said those words to her before. Then she disappeared down the hallway as quickly as she had com

  • AUCTIONED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 137

    ASHERThe world narrowed to a single point of absolute clarity.Gabriel had Ethan.From my position on the palace steps, I could see everything through the gap in the closing gates. Maya on her knees. Gabriel's hand on her face. Ethan's broken body held between two soldiers.Every instinct screamed at me to move. To run. To tear Gabriel apart with my bare hands.But my body would not obey.The wound in my shoulder throbbed with each heartbeat, sending waves of pain down my arm. My vision swam at the edges, darkness creeping in."Get the archers ready," I ordered through gritted teeth. "Now."Rhea was already moving, shouting commands. Soldiers flooded the walls, bows drawn.But it would not be enough. Gabriel had positioned himself perfectly, using Maya and Ethan as human shields. Any shot risked hitting them instead.He knew exactly what he was doing."I need a clear line of sight," one of the archers called down. "I cannot take the shot without—""Then get me someone who can," Rhea

    MAYAThe world seemed to tilt beneath my feet."Olivia." Her name left my lips as barely a whisper.Rhea was already moving, snapping orders to the soldiers. "Get archers on the walls. I want eyes on Gabriel's position now."I could not breathe. Could not think past the roaring in my ears.Gabriel had Olivia. He had my people."Maya." Asher's hand tightened on mine, pulling me back to the present. "Do not go out there. It is a trap.""I know it is a trap," I said quietly, my voice steadier than I felt. "But he has her. He has all of them.""Then we negotiate. We stall. We find another way." His eyes searched mine, desperate and pleading. "But you do not walk into his hands."The bond pulsed between us, thick with his fear. Not for himself. For me.I reached up and cupped hi

    MAYAThe throne room fell silent except for Kael's ragged breathing.He stumbled backward, clutching his wounded side where Asher's blade had cut deep. Blood seeped through his fingers, staining the marble floor beneath his feet."Guards," he rasped, his voice cracking with desperation. "Seize her. That is an order from your—"No one moved.Twenty soldiers lined the walls, their faces carved from stone. Not a single one stepped forward.Kael's eyes widened, darting from face to face. "I said seize her! She is a wolf. An enemy of the crown. I command you—""You command nothing."Rhea's voice cut through the room like a whip. She stepped forward from the ranks, her armor still splattered with blood from the battle outside. Her sword remained sheathed, but her hand rested on its hilt."You lost your authority the moment you put chains on our king," she continued, her tone ice-cold. "The moment you sent soldiers to die while you hid in this room playing games."Kael's face twisted with fu

    **Chapter 134**MAYAThree days later Asher still did not know me.He recognized Ethan. Recognized palace staff. Spoke coherently about military strategy. But when I entered the room his eyes went blank. Polite. Distant. Like I was a stranger he was obligated to be courteous to.The healers said it might be temporary. Might be the mind protecting itself from trauma too severe to process. Might heal with time.Or might not.I sat with him every day. Talked to him. Held his hand when he allowed it. Sent love through the bond that he could not feel anymore.And prepared for the fight that was still coming.Because Kael might be dead but his supporters were very much alive. And they were organizing.The emergency council session was called for the fourth day. Full attendance mandatory. The question of the kingdom's future on the table.I walked in alone. Asher was still too weak. Too confused. The King's chair sat empty. A reminder of what we had lost even in victory.Lord Harlen stood fi

    MAYAI woke to white light and the smell of healing herbs.Not dead. Somehow. Against all odds. Not dead.My body felt wrong. Heavy. Distant. Like it belonged to someone else. I tried to move. Pain exploded through my shoulder where Gabriel's blade had been."Easy." A voice. Familiar. Female. The palace healer. "You have been unconscious for two days. The wound was severe. We almost lost you three times."Two days. The war. The battle. Gabriel."Asher" I croaked. My throat was raw. "Where is Asher?"The healer's face was carefully neutral. Professional. The expression that meant bad news delivered gently."The King is alive. Stable. He woke yesterday. But Maya the damage from the wolfsbane and blood loss. He is weak. It will take time."Alive. That was all that mattered. I tried to sit up. The healer pushed me back down."You are not going anywhere. That shoulder needs another week minimum. You used power that should have killed you. Your body is still recovering from burning through

    ASHERI was dying.Not metaphorically. Not dramatically. Literally dying on a surgical table while a healer worked frantically to save me.The crossbow bolt had done more damage than anyone realized. Punctured something vital. The wolfsbane in my system prevented proper healing. My wolf was too weak to fight.I could feel it. The cold spreading from my core. The way my heartbeat stuttered. The darkness pressing in from all sides.And through it all. The bond. Screaming.Maya was fighting. I felt every impact. Every near miss. Every moment of terror as Gabriel's forces overwhelmed the palace.She was trying to hold. Trying to protect my kingdom while I bled out on a table.I wanted to help. Wanted to stand beside her. Wanted to keep the promise I made on the balcony.But my body wo

    MAYAThe emergency session Kael called turned out to be a false alarm.He claimed to have evidence of a wolf spy inside the palace but when pressed for specifics all he produced was a vague report about "unusual scent patterns" in the servants quarters. Asher shut it down before it gained traction

    MAYATwo weeks. Fourteen days of being knocked into the dirt so many times I lost count.My body was a map of bruises. Purple and blue and yellow patches covered my arms and legs like paint splattered by an angry artist. My ribs ached when I breathed. My shoulders screamed when I raised my arms. My

    DAMIENThe drive back to the Crescent Moon pack was the longest of my life.I sat in the back seat with my jaw clenched so tight I could feel my teeth cracking. My hands were balled into fists on my knees. My wolf was howling inside me. A raw guttural sound that had not stopped since Maya spoke tho

    ASHERI told myself I was inspecting the training grounds.That was the excuse I used when my feet carried me to the east corridor balcony for the third morning in a row. The balcony overlooked the main training yard and from this angle I could see everything without being seen.I leaned against th
