Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball The Crown I Deserve
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 91 DRAKEN’S POV "I am riding across the border," I said, my voice cutting through the quiet room. Thorne stood near the weapon rack in my chamber's study. He stepped into the light, his armor clattering. "No, Sire. You cannot leave." I snapped my head up, giving him a glare, "Every hour we sit here doing nothing, that thing deletes who she is. I will not sit here while my mate dissolves three rooms away." "And you won't have a kingdom to return to if you cross that river," Thorne countered, his voice steady. He didn't even blink under my stare. "The council is already testing the fences. They are questioning your leadership and demanding answers about an heir. If you vanish from the fortress right now, the high lords will pull the foundations down. Your absence is exactly what the traitors are waiting for." The harsh reality of his words hit me hard. He was right. A king didn't have the luxury of a simple hunter. My crown was an anchor pinning me to this seat while my wo
Claimed and Sold at the Lycan King's Ball Something About The tea
CHAPTER 90 DRAKEN’S POVThe bitter scent of Madame Lira’s temporary portion still hung in the air of the royal bedchamber. I sat on the edge of the grand mattress, my chest rising and falling as I watched Ava. The fear that had dominated her eyes in the Seer’s chamber had finally begun to recede. Her breathing was steady now, her small fingers slowly uncurling from where they had been gripping my shirt.Gently, I slid my hand out of her loose grip tucking the bear furs securely around her shoulders. I leaned down, pressing my lips to her forehead for a single, lingering second. Then, I rose.Thorne was already there, standing like an iron statue in the dim twilight. I walked straight up to his shoulder, keeping my voice low enough to escape the ears of any lingering palace maids. “Find out how Moonbane entered her body,” I commanded. “Consider it done, your majesty.” he rumbled. “Quietly,” I added, my eyes flashing with a warning. “No accusations. No public arrests. And absolute

CHAPTER 89 AVA’S POVI sat in the armchair, a leather-bound book on Northern history resting in my lap. My eyes scanned the text, tracing the dark ink characters with a steady focus, but it was useless. I had been staring at the exact same paragraph for nearly twenty minutes. Every time my eyes reached the final sentence, the beginning of the page simply vanished from my thoughts, leaving nothing but a blank, frustrating fog. It was like watching ink dissolve in water, and the harder I tried to grab the slipping thoughts, the faster they slid away.A few feet away, Draken sat at the small writing desk with his arms crossed. Every time the pages of my book rustled, his golden eyes would drift away from the stack of border reports to fixate entirely on my face. He had been like this all morning, trailing me through the royal wing with a protectiveness that made the entire room feel incredibly small, as if the stone walls themselves were pressing inward.I finally set the book down on m

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 1 AVA'S POV "You’re just a Beta’s daughter, Ava." Jax’s voice still echoed in my head, like a headache that refused to go. "I’m going to be Alpha. I need a mate who brings power. Not just... you." The memory made the silence in my bedroom feel suffocating. I stared at my reflection in t
