Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball Eldrin's Archive
Chapter 88THORNE'S POVWe didn't waste time informing the rest of the High Council about our decision. The fewer people who knew how serious the Luna's condition had become, the better. The council already had enough reason to question her.By the time the night swallowed the valleys, I had gathered a vanguard escort. We quietly escorted Madame Lira through the lower gates of the inner courtyard, slipping out into the mountain before the court politicians could track our departure.The wind howled like a wounded wolf as our stallions finally reached the ridge, the silhouette of Master Eldrin’s old research archive rising out of the snow. The stone tower was choked with centuries of thick ice.Madame Lira stepped down from her saddle, her boots sinking deep into the snow. She didn't hesitate, she walked straight toward the iron doors of the archive building, her cane tapping on the ground.The place was completely untouched and the door was still fully sealed.Lira stopped at the thre

CHAPTER 87 DRAKEN’S POV The closed doors of my private solar did nothing to silence the council's voices in my head. I stood by the window, watching gray mountain fog crawl over the battlements. My warning had silenced them for now, but I knew Silas well enough to know it wouldn't last. Behind my ribs, Fenris paced restlessly making my blood simner. A familiar thudding sound of boots echoed from outside and the door clicked, swinging open just enough to let in a draft of air before closing. I didn't turn around, I knew the weight of that stride. “What did the council say after I left?” I rumbled, my eyes tracking a distant pine tree struggling against the wind. “They said nothing, Sire. Your warning was sufficient to pin them to their seats,” Thorne replied. His voice carried its usual discipline, but there was a hitch at the end of the sentence. His armor clattered as he stopped a few paces behind my shoulder. “But that is not why I followed you.” I shifted, turning my head

CHAPTER 86AVA’S POVThe Great Hall of the Northern Court was a sea of shifting colors, bathed in the morning light that cut through the high windows. I refused to hide in my chambers like a wounded animal. I wore a gown of dark wool, the silver collar pressed flat against my throat, and though my legs carried a strange, numbness with every step, I forced my shoulders back. I walked with the dignity expected of a Luna. But the silence that usually greeted the crown was completely gone.As I moved toward the raised dais, the whispers were no longer hidden behind cups of wine, tea or muffled by the crackle of the great stone hearths. They had grown bold, drifting across the floor like an approaching storm.“Still no sign of an heir…” a lesser lord from the eastern valleys muttered, his voice carrying over the rustle of clothes.“The Moon Mother must be displeased with a Southern wolf on the throne,” a matron whispered back, her eyes scanning my face for any trace of the lingering sickne

CHAPTER 85 AVA’S POV I found Maya in the gallery, adjusting the fresh linens. She nearly dropped them when she saw the sharp, determined focus back in my eyes. “Maya,” I said, my voice steady for the first time in days. “Where is the King?” Maya hesitated, her eyes darting toward the high windows. “His Majesty dismissed the high council early this morning, Luna. He... he wasn't in a state to deal with the high lords. If he isn't in his solar, he should be down in the lower forge.” I didn't wait for her to call a vanguard escort. I didn't want an announcement or a trail of boots behind me. I pulled my mantle deeper around my shoulders and took the winding stone stairs down into the lower levels of the fortress. The air grew thick with the scents of sulfur, raw coal, and burning iron as I neared the low-vaulted arches of the royal smithy. Thorne stood near the iron threshold, sorting a stack of newly polished vanguards' daggers. His head snapped up as my boots clicked against t

CHAPTER 84 AVA’S POVThe northern balcony in my chambers overlooked a frozen stretch of the sea, where blocks of ice collided in slow motion like clumsy, white giants trying to dance. Down on the lower docks, a group of off-duty vanguard warriors were currently engaged in a serious competition: trying to see who could throw a snowball far enough to hit a sleeping walrus on an ice floe. The walrus simply let out a loud, snort each time a ball landed short, entirely unbothered by the fearsome military.I watched them from behind the railing, but the small amusement didn't touch the cold ache behind my ribs, the herbs from Madame Lira dulled the fever. The snow fell in fat, lazy flakes, dusting the shoulders of my winter cloak. Nearby, a tray of hot berry cakes and spiced tea sat completely untouched, the steam dying out in the freezing mountain air.The palace is beautiful, I thought, leaning my forehead against the stone. So why do I feel like a prisoner trapped inside it?The rumor
Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball The Gentle Sister
CHAPTER 83 AVA’S POVMadame Lira was already standing beside my bed when the gray light of morning finally forced its way through the curtains. There was no grand arrival, no bustling of apprentices or clattering of glass vials. The air in the royal bedchamber was thick with the scent of old dust and cold pine ash, the silence so absolute that the shallow rattle of my own breathing felt entirely too loud.The Seer didn't use the standard, glowing hum of healing magic. Instead, she leaned over me, her sightless, eyes trained directly on my face as her cold, fingertips pressed firmly against the center of my forehead. She slid her hand down to my wrist, tracing the erratic skip of my pulse beneath the skin.A low prayer in a language that made my wolf instinctively shrink back into the dark slipped from her lips.Reaching into the folds of her robes, Lira pulled out a small, coarse linen pouch filled with dried, pungent leaves. She set it gently on the small table beside my pillow. “T

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
