ISABELLA

He smelled like that basement room again.

Dust and old paper and obsession. The scent clung to his clothes and his skin and followed him through the house like a ghost that refused to leave.

I was sitting in the bedroom when he walked in. Midnight. He did not look at me. He walked straight to the bathroom and turned on the shower without closing the door. Steam curled into the room carrying the scent of soap that would wash away the evidence of where he had been.

But it could not wash

    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

  • AUCTIONED TO THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 131

    MAYAKael's body hit the marble floor with finality.The throne room went silent. Mercenaries who had been fighting for him stopped. Looked at their dead leader. Looked at Asher standing over him. Looked at the twenty loyal soldiers surrounding us.One by one they dropped their weapons."Surrender" Ethan commanded. "On your knees. Hands behind your heads."They obeyed. The coup was over. Kael was dead. The palace was ours.But Asher. He swayed. The effort of killing Kael combined with the crossbow wound and lingering wolfsbane was too much.I caught him before he fell. Eased him to the floor. His face was gray. Breathing shallow."Someone get a healer" I shouted. "Now."Through the bond I felt him. Pain. Exhaustion. But also satisfaction. He had avenged his mother. Ended Kael's manipulation. Reclaimed his throne."Did we win?" he asked. His voice barely a whisper."The palace is ours. Kael is dead. Yes. We won this part.""Good. That is good." His eyes closed. "I am very tired Maya."

    MAYAThe throne room was silent except for the sound of my boots on marble.Bodies everywhere. Loyalists. Mercenaries. The price of the coup scattered across polished floors that had never seen this much blood.And at the center. Sitting in Asher's throne. Kael.He looked comfortable. Relaxed. Like he had been waiting for me. His pale eyes tracked my approach with genuine amusement. Not fear. Not concern. Just the satisfaction of a man who believed he had already won."Maya" he said. My name casual. Like we were discussing the weather. "I wondered when you would arrive. Took you longer than expected. The palace guards put up more of a fight than anticipated."I stopped twenty feet from the throne. Blade still drawn. Blood covering my armor. Some of it mine. Most of it not."Get out of that chair."He

    JASMINEI saw them coming before anyone else did.Three of Kael's mercenaries. Breaking through the eastern corridor. Moving fast toward where Maya knelt beside the wounded King. She was focused on Asher. On keeping him alive. On the bond between them that was flickering like a dying candle.She did not see the threat.But I did.My mate's mark still burned on my collarbone. Marcus. Dead because of the attack on Blue Moon. Dead because Maya had loved the wrong man and brought hell to our doorstep.I had hated her for that. For months. For good reason.But I had also watched her carry Olivia on her back. Watched her train until she collapsed. Watched her stand on walls and fight beside us when she could have run.She had earned something. Maybe not forgiveness. But a chance. A future where she could build something bet

    MAYAI charged Isabella before anyone could stop me.The crossbow clattered from her hands. Her eyes went wide. She tried to run. Too late.I hit her. Full force. Drove her into the marble floor. My fist connected with her face. Once. Twice. Blood sprayed.Hands grabbed me. Pulled me back. Rhea's voice in my ear."Maya. Stop. She is not worth it. Asher needs you."Asher.I spun. He was on the ground. The crossbow bolt through his shoulder. Blood pooling beneath him. His face was pale. Too pale.I dropped beside him. Pressed my hands to the wound. Blood seeped between my fingers."You idiot. Why did you do that?""Could not let you die" he said. His voice was weak. Strained. "Not when I just got you back."Through the bond I felt his pain. Sharp. Overwhelmi

    ISABELLAI arrived at the palace expecting triumph.Ten fighters. Damien's most loyal. The ones who had not turned when Gabriel betrayed. The ones who still believed in rescuing Maya from the Lycan King.Fools. All of them. But useful fools.We rode through the battlefield. Bodies everywhere. Damien's army shattered. Gabriel's forces scattered. Lycans holding their walls. Chaos that smelled like failure and blood.But I did not care about the battle. I cared about the promise.Kael had promised me Maya. Promised me justice. Promised me the satisfaction of watching Damien's obsession die in front of him.I walked through the palace gates like I owned them. Guards tried to stop me. I showed them the seal Kael had given me. They stepped aside.Inside was chaos. Fighting. Loyalists against mercenaries. Blood on marble flo

    MAYASleep was not coming. Not tonight.I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The moonlight cut through the window and painted silver lines across the stone above me. My mind raced in circles that led nowhere and everywhere at the same tim

    GABRIELInformation was the most valuable weapon in existence.Not armies. Not claws. Not bloodlines or ancient powers or thrones made of bone and legacy. Information. The right piece at the right time placed in the right hands could topple empires faster than any sword.And I had just received a v

    MAYAThe wolfsbane was eating me alive from the inside.Every step back to the kingdom was a war between my body and my will. The poison spread through my bloodstream like liquid fire. It burned along my veins and settled into my muscles and turned every movement into agony.My wolf fought it. I co

    MAYAWe moved through the darkness like ghosts.Eight of us. Ethan at the front. Rhea covering the rear. Six Lycan soldiers spread between them in a formation so tight and silent that even the wind did not know we were there.And me. Somewhere in the middle. Heart pounding. Blade drawn. Every sense
