Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball The Sister Beneath the Smile 2
CHAPTER 97SELENE'S POVBut the conversation in the charity hall was proof that our lines were shrinking. Ava was recovering. Whatever temporary draught Madame Lira had concocted days back, it was working well enough to bring the Luna back down to the administrative floors.Draken was staying close, guarding her wing like a dragon over gold. Kael had returned from his border inspections, introducing an unpredictable piece to the board, and Thorne... Thorne, where has he gone?The High Commander’s sudden disappearance from the checkpoint registries felt like a cold draft sliding beneath my door. Something had changed in the palace while I was busy folding blankets for orphans. The poison hadn't finished its job fast enough. If Ava recovered her full health before the foreign houses arrived for the Spring Court, every single strategy Kael and I had carefully woven would become harder to execute.My thoughts immediately locked onto Kael. He was inside the fortress walls right now, but we

CHAPTER 96SELENE’S POVI leaned my back against the dark wood of my doors, my chest heaving as the freezing air of the room rushed in to erase the lingering warmth of the galleries. My hands were still shaking against the handles.I stood flat against the wood, my breathing shallow as her scratchy voice continued to replay behind my eyelids like a broken music box. Thank you for the berry tea. I’m glad we’re not standing on opposite sides anymore.Ava had looked at me with absolute gratitude, and now she sat on her grand bed, completely unaware that I had planted something, destroying her core, and she still called me. The utter innocence of her trust wasn't sweet; it was an insult to my intelligence. She moved through life with a blind carelessness, entirely protected by a crown she hadn't even fought for, while I had to calculate every single step just to breathe inside this fortress.A blinding surge of rage flared behind my ribs. My fingers clenched into fists as I whirled toward

CHAPTER 95 SELENE’S POVThe rafters of the palace charity hall vibrated with the laughter of three dozen orphan children. It was one of the Luna's primary administrative duties to oversee the distribution of winter supplies. For the past two hours, I had been deep in the trenches of this tedious work gracefully folding thick wool blankets and handing down small sacks of winter grain to the pack caretakers."You have been an absolute blessing to these children, Lady Selene," Lady Geneveive murmured, offering a deep, respectful nod as she adjusted her shawl. Several other court matrons stood nearby, nodding in agreement. "To step into the Luna's role so seamlessly while she fought that terrible sickness... the territory is incredibly fortunate to have your dedication.""I am merely doing what family requires, my ladies," I replied, offering a soft, humble smile that crinkled the corners of my eyes.They looked at me with pure admiration. They didn't see a threat; they saw a selfless s

CHAPTER 94 KAEL’S POVThe reports from the palace infirmary reached my desk shortly after midday, delivered by a quiet maid whose loyalty had been bought with gold. I leaned against the window, turning the small piece of parchment over in my fingers.Ava was improving.Instead of the satisfaction a protective brother should have felt, a weight settled behind my ribs. The temporary medicine Madame Lira had brewed was creating a serious problem for my timeline. If the Southern girl recovered completely, Draken’s internal stability would return tenfold.The fated bond would inevitably strengthen again, and the High Council would lose their most potent weapon against his leadership. The ticking clock was no longer working in my favor. I had to speed up the process.As for Selene, our alliance wasn't built on a single shred of affection or shared loyalty; it was a cold transaction between two wolves who understood how to use leverage.Her hatred toward her stepsister was personal and visce

CHAPTER 93 KAEL’S POVThe doors of my bedchamber clicked shut. The moment the wood separated us, the warm, reassuring smile on my face didn't just fade; it evaporated. The gentle brother who had just offered a sick woman reassuring words vanished into the dark stone of the corridor.I adjusted the fur collar of my cloak and walked toward the western wing, my boots making no sound against the floorboards. My mind remained anchored to the room I had just left. Ava looked too pale under the candlelight, but the gratitude in her eyes had been entirely real. She had trusted me without a single hesitation. It was satisfying to know how deeply my kindness had rooted itself into her memories over these past months, but her vulnerability was a certainty. She was a fading anchor, and a fading anchor could not hold a king's crown for long.By the time I reached the threshold of my private solar, the light of the hearth was throwing long shadows across my desk. I poured a glass of spiced plum wi

CHAPTER 92 AVA’S POV "Let him in, Maya," I said softly, sliding my hand out of Draken's grip so I could sit up a bit straighter against the pillows. Draken didn't move immediately. His eyes remained fixed on the door, his jaw tightly locked as his massive frame radiated a cold, protective warmth. I reached out, pressing my hand against his forearm until I felt the stiffness in his muscles begin to yield. "He just returned from the borders, Draken," I murmured, keeping my voice low and easy. "He is your brother. Go review the guard rotations with the vanguard. I will be fine." With a heavy exhale, Draken rose from the edge of the mattress. He didn't look pleased, but he respected my boundaries. He offered a tight nod to Maya, threw his mantle over his shoulder, and strode out of the room. The door groaned shut behind him just as Kael stepped through the side threshold. The Alpha tension left the room with my husband, replaced by the scent of frost and pine needles that clung to

CHAPTER 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 preten

CHAPTER 3 AVA'S POV As we walked down the dim hallway of the Royal wing, the shadow at the far end finally stepped out into the light. It was a man. And he looked terrifyingly similar to Draken. He possessed the same towering frame and broad, built shoulders. But his features were softer, framed

CHAPTER 2 AVA'S POV He sunk his fang deep down my neck and the mark was set. A wave of pain crashed through me as the bond took hold, and my knees felt weak. When he finally pulled back, the weight of the situation settled in. "I don’t want this," I gasped, tears slipping down my cheeks. "I don’t
