Ayla’s POV

The silence of the room has become its own torture by afternoon. I spend hours sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to recreate that mental wall I built earlier. I visualize the heavy door in my mind. Every time I think I have a hold on it, a throbbing headache pulses behind my eyes, reminding me of how fragile this control really is.

Noon bleeds into sunset , and no one comes. No maids, no guards — and most importantly, no Lucian.

Instead of feeling relief that the man who lo

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 84

    Ayla's POVThe sanctuary smelled of dried lavender, crushed sage, and burning beeswax. Bundles of herbs hung from the low wooden beams, and their shadows moved across the shelves filled with glass jars and clay pots.A small fire burned in the stone hearth, warming the room. An old woman sat behind a low wooden table. Her silvery-white hair was braided around her head. Deep lines covered her face, but her hazel eyes were sharp and clear.She looked up when I entered. Her gaze moved over my muddy cloak, my pale face, and the faint golden glow beneath my collarbone.She didn’t look frightened, didn’t didn’t call for anyone. Instead, she put down the pestle in her hand and pointed to the chair across from her. “Sit, child.”Her voice was rough with age but gentle. “You look like someone who has been walking for a very long time.”I hesitated before sitting.“I am... unwell,” I said quietly, keeping my voice low so she wouldn’t recognize it. “I need something for the fatigue and nausea.

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 83

    Ayla’s POVA thick grey fog hung over the narrow cobblestone streets of a quiet town somewhere in Eastern Europe.I pulled the hood of my dark wool cloak farther over my face and adjusted the strap of my satchel as I moved through the small morning market.The air smelled of wet earth, roasted chestnuts, and smoke from the chimneys of the stone houses. It was cold. The kind of cold that found its way through every layer of clothing.I barely noticed it anymore. For four weeks, I had been living like a ghost. I went by the name, Clara, now.I moved from one mountain village to another and stayed away from the main roads. I avoided large towns, train stations, and anywhere else where I might be noticed by supernatural eyes.When I needed food or somewhere to sleep, I paid with the bills I’d taken from my satchel. I kept my head down, spoke as little as possible, and never stayed anywhere longer than I needed to.I’d crossed three borders. Hundreds of miles now separated me from the Ital

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 82

    Lucian's POVDawn came over the Italian valley beneath a sky covered in thick grey clouds.I stood in the doorway of the suite, gripping the oak frame so hard my fingers hurt. The room was quiet, the bed was made. The sheets hadn’t been touched.Her boots were gone from beside the bed, and when I looked toward the closet, I saw that her dark wool cloak was missing too.“Ayla...” her name barely made it past my lips as I walked into the room. Every step sounded too loud against the stone floor.I reached for the mate bond between us. For five hundred years, I’d known that connection. Even when she was far away, I could feel her. Her presence had always been there, somewhere at the edge of my senses.Now there was nothing. I felt the bond, but it was empty. The ache that came through it was almost unbearable.“Ayla!” A roar burst out of my chest before I could stop it.The balcony doors shattered, glass flew outward into the morning mist as my Lycan rose to the surface. My eyes burned c

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 81

    Ayla's POVMidnight had settled over the Vane estate.Outside, a thin mist hung over the cliffs, hiding most of the rocks and the river far below.The sound of rushing water still reached the estate, faint but steady. Inside my bedroom, I packed a small leather satchel. A flask of water, a dark wool cloak, and small dagger I had taken from the armory.That was all I needed. My thoughts wouldn’t settle, I touched the golden mark beneath my collarbone and it gave off a faint glow beneath my fingers.Aurora’s memories were still there. Centuries of war. Love. Loss. Sacrifice. They felt like they belonged to someone else, yet somehow they were mine. But the pain in my chest belonged to Ayla.I couldn’t stay here, not after what I had learned. How was I supposed to look at Lucian again knowing that every touch, every kiss, every moment between us had happened while he was keeping the truth from me? I couldn’t do it.*Ayla, I’m sorry* Nova said inside my head.Her voice was quiet, but I cou

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 80

    Ayla's POVI pushed myself up from the ruined dais and took a step back.Lucian reached for me again. “Ayla, please—““Don’t call me that!” the words tore out of my throat. Golden sparks jumped from my skin and struck the stone between us, leaving small black marks across the floor.Lucian stared at me. “I love you.”His voice carried through the ruined conservatory. Shadows gathered around his boots, reacting to the anger and pain coming from me.“I have loved you for five hundred years. Through death, through different realms, through every lifetime,” Lucian said.“No, you don’t!” I wiped the tears from my face with the back of my hand, but more followed. “You don’t love me.”My voice trembled. “You love a ghost.”Lucian went still. For a second, he looked as though I had slapped him.“You looked at me every day and never saw me,” I continued. I stepped toward him, pointing at his chest with a trembling finger. “You saw Aurora. You saw your dead Queen.”He opened his mouth, but I di

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 79

    Ayla’s POVI snapped my eyes open with a sharp gasp and sat upright on the ruined marble dais. Cold sweat soaked through my white linen tunic. My chest rose and fell quickly, each breath catching in my throat as if I had just surfaced from deep water. For several seconds, I couldn’t understand where I was.Then I looked around and the conservatory was destroyed. Broken glass covered the floor. Parts of the stone had been scorched black, and fine golden dust still drifted through the cold afternoon air.The heavy wooden doors suddenly flew open.Lucian rushed inside. His dark leather coat was wet from the rain, water dripping from the edges as he came straight toward me. He must have just returned from Geneva. His face was pale, and the usual calm in his expression was gone.“Ayla!” he shouted.His eyes moved quickly over the ruined conservatory before finding me, he crossed the room without slowing down and dropped to his knees beside me. His hands came up to my face, but they were

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 4

    Ayla’s POV The moment the words left my mouth, it felt like I was split in two halves with a sword. My body trembled, my chest tightening so hard that it was difficult to breathe. I coughed up blood again, my body weak as I slumped to the ground. Julian was obviously still in pain, but he was a

    Ayla’s POV “Mine!” The word rang in my ears like the sound of a bell. I lifted my head up and turned around. A man stood behind me—blond hair, golden eyes, tall and handsome. He was dressed in a different manner, I knew he was not a member of my pack. “Mate!” He growls again. And I was sur

    Ayla’s POV “Who are you“ I asked again as the shadow rushed forward, revealing a masked man. Suddenly, a bright light gleamed from my necklace. It was so powerful that the assassin groaned in pain before bolting away through the balcony. What the hell just happened? Someone tried to kill me. Wh

  • Claimed By The Shadow King: The Betrayed Alpha Heir.   Chapter 1

    Ayla’s POV The air in the room went still as I stared at my father’s lifeless body, an unreadable expression on my face. I refused to cry. I refused to give the pack the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable—like they had always called me. Worthless. Weak. Disgrace. “He is gone my lady. My cond
