MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING ༄Chapter 35
Bella's POVThe silence that followed was the longest silence I had ever sat inside.I couldn't hear anything except my own breathing and the faint crackle of the fire in the grate and the sound of my own heartbeat which was considerably louder than it had any right to be.I opened one eye.Slowly. Just one, just a fraction, peeking at him through my lashes because I needed to see his face before I opened the other one and fully committed to looking.His face was doing nothing.Absolutely nothing. The same expression it always wore, unreadable and still and giving me not a single thing to work with, and I looked at it with one eye and then very carefully opened the other one and looked at it with both.And then Ethan laughed.Not a small sound, not a controlled exhale, an actual laugh, genuine and sudden, the kind that changed his whole face in the way I had seen once before at the banquet when I had said something ridiculous about his handsomeness in front of everyone. It transformed
MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING ༄Chapter 34
Bella's POVThe fourteen days passed faster than I expected.Andrew had gotten busy with pack duties, patrols, whatever it was Alphas did when they needed to look like they were leading something and somewhere in the middle of all of that he had stopped looking at me. Not the deliberate not-looking that he did when he was making a point, but genuinely stopped registering my presence in a room the way you stop registering furniture you've decided is no longer interesting. He poured everything into Hailey. His attention, his time, his careful hands and soft voice, all of it directed at her in a way that was clearly designed to make me feel the absence of it.I felt nothing.That was the part that still surprised me when I examined it honestly. No jealousy, no longing, no hollow ache where something had been removed. Just a clean empty space where Andrew used to occupy my thoughts and the quiet satisfaction of a woman who had realized she was free of something without having the legal p

Bella's POVI stayed quiet.I folded my hands on the table and kept my face arranged into something neutral and let the silence sit where it was, because I genuinely wanted to hear what Andrew was going to say to that question. What exactly was he going to tell these elders about the heir situation when his wife was sitting right beside him and his marked fated mate was upstairs in the same house. I wanted to watch him navigate that in real time."There's actually some good news," Andrew said.I kept the shock off my face through sheer effort.Good news. I ran through it quickly, turning it over, because I knew I was not pregnant, that was not the good news he was referring to which meant one of two things. Either he was about to say something designed purely to humiliate me in front of these elders, or Hailey was pregnant. They had marked each other. The bond between them was real and established and a pregnancy between fated mates who had already marked each other was not something
MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING ༄Chapter 32
Bella's POVI had made one decision when I woke up that morning and I was holding onto it with both hands.Stay in the room. Avoid Andrew. Let the day pass without incident. After last night I needed one day where nothing happened. One day where I didn't have to perform composure for anyone or manage Andrew's mood or navigate Hailey's presence or calculate my next move.My head still pounded from yesterday's mess and my chest felt tight every time his face flashed in my mind. I wanted nothing to do with him today. Nothing.That was the plan.Julie was styling my hair when she said it."Luna." Her voice had the particular quality it got when she was working up to something she wasn't sure how I was going to receive. "Do you know what today is?"I looked at her through the mirror, my eyes slightly tired. "Is there something important happening today?"She met my eyes in the reflection and let out a small sigh that she tried to make inaudible and didn't quite manage. "You really did lose

Bella's POVI had just finished my night shower and was feeling almost human again.The jewelry was sitting on my dresser where I had laid it out carefully after spending an embarrassing amount of time just looking at it. The bracelet I had already put on and taken off twice because wearing it made the circle mark on my palm do things that made it difficult to think straight. I picked up the waist chain and turned it over in my fingers, the tiny rubies catching the light, and thought about putting it on.Then I thought about who would see it on me in this packhouse.Not yet. No man but the King was going to see that chain on my waist. I set it back down with that decision made and felt immediately ridiculous about the thought I had just had because what I had just thought was no man but the King and I needed to examine what was happening to me seriously.No man but the King.I was far gone. I was genuinely, completely far gone and I hadn't even fully registered when it had started hap

Andrew's POVI had been turning it over since morning and I still didn't have an answer that satisfied me.The King sent my wife a package. With the royal crest. Addressed to her specifically, by her full name, with instructions that it be received by her alone. I had been sitting with that fact all day and running it through every framework I had for understanding how things worked in this territory and none of them were producing a conclusion I was comfortable with.The King and Alexander had history. That was established, that was known. Alexander had gone to Ethan directly to arrange the marriage and Ethan had agreed, which meant there was a relationship there that went beyond the standard Alpha to King dynamic. A closeness. The kind that produced favors and consideration and possibly, possibly, the kind of gesture that had arrived in a royal box this morning.That was the version I kept returning to because it was the version that made the most sense and left my position intact.

Bella's POV "I don't understand what you're saying, Andrew." I kept my voice completely steady and looked at him with the blankest expression I could manufacture. "What do you mean?" My brain was running fast behind that blank face, turning over every possible angle, every direction this could go

Bella's POVThe packhouse told me everything before anyone opened their mouth.The servants were moving differently. Quieter than usual, smaller somehow, the way people make themselves small when something heavy is sitting in a room and they need to not be in the path of it. Nobody met my eyes when

Bella's POVHe fell asleep before the transfusion even finished.I was watching it happen in real time and still couldn't fully make sense of it. One moment Ethan was sitting in that chair with his arm extended and his face doing its usual thing of giving nothing away, and then somewhere in the mid

Ethan's POVI watched her hands shake against the fabric of her gown and said nothing.She was trying to put herself back together with the urgency of someone who had come undone in front of a person they weren't supposed to come undone in front of, and the effort she was putting into looking compo
