Bella's POV

The 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.

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 36

    Ethan's POVShe walked through that door and I had approximately three seconds of peace before her scent reached me.Her warm Honey scent filling the room the way it always did when she was in it, and Slade went from dormant to fully present in the space of one breath, rising up inside me with the particular intensity of something that had been waiting and was done being patient about it. I kept my face where it always was and watched her curtsy and noted that she had gotten more composed since the last time she had stood in this room, less visibly overwhelmed, and I noted that too without letting anything show about it.My necklace was on her neck.I saw it the moment she straightened from the curtsy, the silver chain with the rubies sitting against her collarbone exactly where I had imagined it would sit when I took it out of that drawer and put it in the box. I had known it would look right on her. I had known that since the moment I bought it years ago and had not examined why I k

  • 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

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 33

    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

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 31

    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

    I did not turn around.The woman's voice was behind me and Ethan's eyes were in front of me and I kept my gaze exactly where it was because the look he was giving me left absolutely no room for anything except doing what he had just told me to do. It wasn't a request dressed up as an instruction. I

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 20

    Bella's POVI noticed the absence of guards and servants somewhere in the middle of the walk and it took me another few seconds to understand what it meant. No staff lining the corridors, no guards posted at intervals, no one moving through the hallways at all. Just Beta Matthew's footsteps ahead o

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 19

    Bella's POV"I'm going out to see a friend," I said, and I held his gaze and kept my face completely straight and gave him absolutely nothing.Andrew looked at me. Then his eyes moved down over my outfit slowly, the way he did when he was looking for something to catch, something that didn't add up

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 18

    Bella's POVThe second my father walked out of that door Andrew dropped his hand from my waist.Not gradually, not with any attempt to make it look natural, he just let go, immediately, like the performance had an off switch and my father stepping outside was the thing that flipped it.
