The evening's chill nipped at my skin as I stepped out of the car, brushing away the remnants of my earlier tears. Crying had done nothing but leave my eyes sore and my spirit heavier. The only thing keeping me moving forward was Duncan’s promise that someday, I would be free. For now, I had to endure.

The emerald-green off-shoulder dress I wore shimmered under the soft glow of the lights, fitting me like a second skin. Outwardly, I looked poised and graceful, but inside, I was fragile, barely holding myself together. When the grand doors opened, their polished surfaces gleaming under the lights, Duncan stood by my side waiting, his gaze piercing and unreadable.

He reached out, his fingers grazing my arm. The simple touch sent an unexpected shiver through me, but I quickly composed myself. I couldn’t let him see how much power he had over me.

Standing beside him felt unreal. Duncan, the feared and respected Wolf King, was my mate. My hair was swept to one side, deliberately expo

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    When Truth Awakens

    The wind bit at my face as I stepped out of the portal. Rowenna and I stood just outside the pack lands, hidden behind a thick row of pine trees. My heart was still pounding from what Caden had said. Melissa was working with Kaleric. That name alone made my blood boil. Every part of me wanted to run straight to Duncan, to shout the truth in his face. But truth without proof was just noise. "I need to see her," I said, my voice low and cold. Rowenna turned to me, her expression unreadable. “And do what, April? Tear her apart in front of the entire pack? That’s exactly what they want. Chaos.” I clenched my fists. “She destroyed everything. My bond with Duncan. My child. She turned everyone against me. And now I know why.” Rowenna looked around cautiously. “We can’t go to Duncan yet. If Melissa and Kaleric really are working together, then they’ve already planted seeds of doubt. If we go in screaming accusations, we’ll lose before the fight even begins.” “Then what do you sugge

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    A Thorn in the Veil

    " Duncan!" I yelled immediately taking a step forward. Rowenna grabbed my hand making me turn to her. I stared at her elderly eyes and the reality of what had happened made tears gather in my eyes. I had no idea what to do. "Give him some time, April. He needs to figure things out." Rowenna said. My wolf growled at the idea. He was still important to me. I had to explain things to him. " April!" Rowenna shouted again as I took a step forward. "You have duties to tend to." I stopped knowing she was right. I had to find the truth from Caden. I had to know if he was my enemy or lover. " Let's go." Rowenna said as she whispered the spell opening the portal. I turned watching as the portal open. Duncan will have to wait later. The wind shifted as Rowenna’s spell rippled through the air, the shimmering portal flickering. I hesitated at the edge, glancing back one last time. Duncan’s retreating figure haunted my thoughts, his cold voice still echoing in my ears. I had

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Price of a Passionate Night

    "April! April!" The voice woke me up from my sleep making me open my eyes. I looked around realizing it was Rowenna. “Rowenna?” I sat up, my voice husky with sleep. My heart pounded, still caught in the haze of the night before. She stood at the edge of my bed, her eyes wide, urgent. Her long hair was unbraided, falling wild over her shoulders. “You have to come. Now.” I pulled the blanket around me. “What happened?” Rowenna didn’t answer immediately. Her eyes scanned the room making me follow her. Luckily, Caden was not in the room. Still, I could feel her judging her eyes as she looked around. She took a deep breath, her eyes locking with mine. “It’s Duncan… He remembers.” I froze. The words struck like lightning through my chest. “Remembers… what?” “You. Everything about you.” Rowenna stepped closer. “He told me he’s been trying to bring it back. Your face, your voice. Duncan came to meet me so I could help me remember you. He's in love with you, April." I stare

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Heart's Betrayal

    APRIL "Melissa, stop this nonsense this instant." Duncan whispered to Melissa but she wasn't ready to give up. I looked down at the smoke curling around my body. It was red like blood, twisting around my arms and rising past my face. I felt heat crawling over my skin, but not from fire, from shame. From fear. The room was silent. Every pair of eyes was on me. Judging. Doubting. Condemning. “Melissa, stop this nonsense this instant,” Duncan repeated stepping toward her. Melissa smiled calm, cold, and confident. “This is the truth,” She said. “The spell reveals any trace of vampire magic. It proves that she’s been touched by one of them.” My chest tightened. No. This couldn't be the end. I couldn't lose everything like this. “This isn’t proof of betrayal!” I cried out, my voice cracking. “You all know Caden saved me. He helped me awaken as the Supreme Sorceress. That doesn’t make me guilty of treason!” Gasps rippled through the table. Duncan stiffened beside me.

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Lunar Stone

    DUNCAN The tension between us was undeniably high. I could see it in her eyes, she loved me. April turned about to leave when I grabbed her hand. Without a single word, I kissed her. My lips wrapped around hers possessively, claiming her as she was mine. She was mine. " Stop!" She murmured as she pushed me. "Stop!" Her hands continued to hit at my chest but I didn't let her push me. My hands wrapped tightly around her head securing her lips in place. Suddenly, I felt something wet on her cheeks and pulled back. She was crying. Damn it! F**k! " What do you want from me?" April cried. "Why won't you leave me alone?" Her words tore at my heart. I felt it from the beginning. She loved me deeply. I had lost my memory so I doubted her in the beginning. My wolf didn't let me rest and I couldn't stop thinking about her. " April, I-" I started but April wasn't having it. She turned around climbing into bed leaving me standing like a fool. I wanted nothing more than

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Bond that Won't Break

    APRIL The Witches Orb was not glowing. It had been days and the elder of the coven, Rowenna was convinced that I was the Supreme Sorceress. The one destined to save the world. I had no idea what to do to make it glow. I had learned some spells and even awakened my wolf. Still I couldn't make an artifact from the witches obey me. " April!" Duncan's voice caught me off guard as I was discussing with the elder of the coven. Duncan's eyes darted between me and the elderly woman. "We need to talk." Duncan said as he reached out grabbing my hand. Suddenly, the Witches Orb lighted up catching our attention. The orb pulsed with a blueish glow, flickering like a heartbeat. The elder gasped, her wrinkled hand rising to her chest. For a moment, no one spoke. The air around us changed. It shimmered, thick with energy. I turned to Duncan, looking down at his hand. A warmth spread up my arm, as if his touch was the key that had unlocked something ancient and powerful inside me. "
