Bella's POV.

Julie helped me wear my nightwear.

She didn't ask questions. She just picked up the soft cotton gown from where I had left it on the bed and held it open for me and helped me step into it like I was a child who had forgotten how to dress herself. Her hands were gentle and efficient and she didn't comment on how hot my skin felt or how my fingers kept trembling or how I couldn't seem to stand still.

She didn't know what was wrong with me. I could see it in her face, the confusion an

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 61

    Bella's POVThree days passed in a blur of small careful movements.I went about things normally. Ate meals at the right times, moved through the packhouse at the right pace, gave Andrew nothing to look at that was interesting enough to hold his attention. He was watching me, I could feel it, that particular quality of being observed by someone who was waiting for you to do something they could use, and I moved through his watch like a woman who had nothing worth watching.At night I lay in bed and thought about Ethan's fingers and made myself stop and thought about Blackthron instead.Last night I had been moving through the corridor past Andrew's study when I heard Cordell's voice through the door… low and quick, the specific register of a report being delivered, something about patrol, something about the border, and then Andrew's voice underneath it, lower still, and I had slowed my steps and tried to catch the shape of what they were saying without stopping long enough to be noti

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 60

    Bella's POV.I entered my room and Julie immediately got up from the chair she had been sitting on, her hands twisting together in front of her and her face pale with worry."Luna!" she exclaimed, and her voice was higher than usual, almost breathless. "I have searched for you everywhere. I thought something bad had happened to you when I saw your broken window this morning and I quickly informed the Alpha. I am so glad you are alright."She said it all in a rush, the words tumbling out of her like she had been holding them in for hours and could not keep them inside any longer. Her eyes were wide and her hands were still twisting and I could see the relief moving across her face like a wave.I looked at the glass window and saw that it had been fixed. The frame was clean and the glass was new and there was no sign that anything had happened at all, no evidence of the shattering and the shards and the wolf who had jumped through it in the middle of the night."Oh yes," Julie added whe

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 59

    Bella's POV."Where are you coming from, Bella?"Andrew's voice stopped me in the doorway of the sitting room. He was standing by the window with his arms crossed over his chest and his face hard and cold, and he was looking at me like I was something he had scraped off the bottom of his shoe. The morning light came in behind him and made his silhouette dark and menacing, and I could feel the anger radiating off him from across the room."I went out," I replied, and I kept my voice steady even though my heart was pounding in my chest."In the middle of the night?" he asked, and he pushed off from the window and started walking toward me, slow and deliberate, like he had all the time in the world to take me apart. "And you are just coming back now, in the morning, wearing a dress that I have never seen before, smelling like someone who does not live in this house."He started circling me like a predator, walking around me in a slow circle while I stood in the middle of the sitting room

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 58

    Bella's POV.I finally walked out of the wardrobe and saw him already back in the room, standing by the window with his back to me. He turned when he heard my footsteps and his eyes moved over every detail of my body, from the red dress to the heels to the way my hair was still damp from the shower. I felt naked under his gaze, just like I had felt last night, like he was seeing past the clothes and the careful way I held myself.He looked away like it took him so much control to do so, and his jaw tightened for just a moment before his face went smooth again."There is something I want to discuss with you, Arabell," he said, and he gestured to the chair across from him. "Sit first."I rolled my eyes and sat down. He could not even compliment my look in the dress. All he could do was look away like it hurt him to see me."You did not thank him either," Arabella chipped in from inside my head."I did not ask for your opinion," I shot back at her.Ethan settled into his chair and looked

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 57

    Bella's POV."As if he had not seen everything last night," Arabella scoffed inside my head."What happened to calling me Ethan?" he asked, and his voice was calm and low and there was something underneath it that I could not name. "You did not seem to find it hard to call me that when I had my tongue on—""That is enough, Ethan!" I cut him off, my voice coming out sharper than I meant it to.He should not finish that statement. I did not regret what happened last night, I could not regret it even if I tried because my body was still humming from it and my lips were still tingling and I could still feel the ghost of his mouth between my legs, but I was shy. I had only been intimate with Andrew before last night, only ever been touched by one man in my entire life, and Andrew had never made me feel the way Ethan made me feel in those few minutes on that table.Andrew had been duty and obligation and something I endured because I had no other choice. Ethan had been fire and hunger and s

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 56

    Bella's POVMy eyes remained closed and I used my hand to block the ray of sun coming from the window because it was too bright and too early and I was not ready to face whatever version of today was waiting for me."Julie!" I called out, my voice rough from sleep.I was wondering why she was late because she always woke me up early or she was always in my room when I woke up, standing by the door with my tea and my schedule for the day and that careful expression she wore when she had something she needed to tell me but was waiting for the right moment. But this morning there was no tea and no Julie and no sound of anyone moving around the room.The familiar bed beneath me was so warm and so soft and I pressed my face into the pillow and tried to remember when my bed had started feeling this comfortable. My bed at the pack house was fine, it was a good bed, but this was different. This mattress was softer and the sheets were smoother and the pillow smelled like mint and rain and some
