I walked out of the palace telling myself it was fine.

The King had shut down Andrew's request for two Lunas. That was something. Andrew hadn't gotten what he came for and he knew it, and I had watched the confidence drain out of his posture in real time when Ethan's voice had dropped to that quiet that wasn't quiet at all. That part had been genuinely satisfying.

The divorce was another matter but I wasn't thinking about that right now.

I climbed into the carriage, arranged my dress, and stare

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    Epilogue

    Bella's POV.Three years ago, I sat in a dungeon waiting to die.Today, I woke up in the arms of my husband.The realization settled over me slowly, warm and familiar. For a few quiet moments, I simply lay there, listening to the steady rhythm of Ethan's heartbeat beneath my cheek. The room was bathed in soft morning light. Golden sunlight spilled through the tall palace windows, warming the sheets tangled around us. The fire in the hearth had burned low during the night, leaving only a gentle crackle behind.Strong arms were wrapped securely around my waist.I smiled before I even opened my eyes."I know you're awake," Ethan murmured.His voice was still rough with sleep, the sound of it vibrating through his chest and into my cheek. I felt the rumble of it, warm and familiar.I laughed softly. "You always know.""I know everything about my wife."I tilted my head back just enough to look at him. Three years. Three years since he had carried me out of Blood Moon. Three years since he

    Bella's POV The dress was white and gold. I stood in front of the mirror while Julie's hands worked the last of the buttons at my back. The fabric was heavy and luxurious against my skin, the gold embroidery catching the light from the candles on the table. It hugged my waist and fell in soft layers to the floor, the hem brushing against my feet. The neckline was modest but elegant, the sleeves long and flowing. Julie had pinned my hair up, leaving a few strands to frame my face. A small gold circlet rested on my forehead, delicate and simple. I had not asked for it. It had been laid out on the table with the dress, waiting for me. I touched my cheek. The bruises were still visible, faded but present. A reminder of what I had survived. The skin was tender under my fingertips, the yellow and purple fading to green at the edges. Julie saw me do it. Her hand came up and squeezed mine. "You look beautiful, Luna," she said. Then she caught herself. "Queen." I smiled at her through t

    Andrew's POV The packhouse was quiet. Too quiet. I stood at the window of my study, looking out at the empty grounds. The morning light was pale and cold, casting long shadows across the stone. The servants had been avoiding me all morning. I had seen them scatter when I walked through the corridors, their eyes dropping to the floor, their footsteps quickening. The guards had stopped meeting my eyes. The elders had not sent word since the great hall. They were waiting. They were watching. They had already decided which side to land on. I had spent the night pacing. Restless. My mind would not stop. Hailey was a liability. That thought had been circling in my head since I read the report. Since I learned she could never give me an heir. Since I realized she had been useful for nothing except lies that had now been exposed. If she had actually been pregnant, none of this would have happened. If there had been a real heir, the elders would have supported me. The pack would have ral

    Bella's POV The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting warm shadows across the room. I sat on the edge of Ethan's bed, my fingers running over the silk of the nightgown Julie had helped me into. The fabric was cool and smooth against my skin, pale and delicate. It slipped over my shoulders easily, falling to my thighs in soft layers. The lingerie beneath it was lace and silk, delicate and intricate, the kind of thing I had never worn for Andrew. Julie had found everything in his wardrobe. The nightgown. The lingerie. The robe. All of it new. All of it with the tags still attached. All of it in my size. I had been wondering about that since the first time I saw the clothes hanging there. The dresses. The nightgowns. The underthings. Everything in his wardrobe was my size. Everything had been waiting for me. The door opened. I looked up. Ethan stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. The latch clicked softly into place. He was still in his formal clothes, the dark

    Bella's POV "My father?" The words came out of me before I could stop them. I stared at Julie, my hands still gripping her arms from our embrace. I thought I had misheard. I thought the exhaustion was playing tricks on me. Julie smiled through watery eyes and nodded. "The Alpha arrived shortly after you fell asleep. His Majesty invited him to remain in the palace." I did not even realize I was moving until I was already halfway to the door. My feet were carrying me across the room, my hand reaching for the handle. I heard Julie hurrying after me, her voice calling out something about walking carefully because of my injuries, but I barely heard her. The words were muffled, distant, like they were coming from somewhere far away. My father was here. He was in the palace. I had not seen him since the day Andrew slapped me and then smiled at him like nothing was wrong. I had not seen him since I stood there with my bruised face hidden under makeup and my heart breaking in my chest a

    Bella's POV I sat on the edge of Ethan's bed while the healer finished wrapping my wrist. The bandage was white and clean, wound around my skin in careful layers. I watched her hands move, steady and precise, her fingers pressing the fabric into place. The sting of the ointment she had applied was sharp at first, then faded into a dull warmth that sat just beneath the surface of my skin. The smell of it was herbal and sharp, something medicinal that filled my nostrils and made me think of sickness and healing and all the things I had not allowed myself to feel. It was nothing compared to the throbbing in my cheek. Every beat of my heart sent a pulse of pain through the bruised flesh, a reminder of Andrew's hand. I could still feel the impact of it, the way my head had snapped to the side, the way my teeth had cut into my lip. I could still taste the blood in my mouth, metallic and stale, even though the wound had stopped bleeding hours ago. The skin of my cheek was hot and tight,

    The relief that moved through me when it became clear the King wasn't going to do anything about the stumbling incident was significant enough that I had to actively stop it from showing on my face.I smoothed my dress, lifted my chin, and walked back to the dining table with Andrew like nothing ha

    I sat in the carriage and watched through the window as the two of them finally pulled themselves away from the door. Andrew's hand on her back, she was leaning into him, both of them completely unbothered by the fact that I existed.I rolled my eyes so hard it nearly hurt. What was I thinking, cha

    “Julie!” I called out.She appeared in the doorway within seconds, which told me she'd been hovering just outside it this whole time.“Did you hear all of that?” I asked. Her expression answered for her.“Right.” I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs over the side of the bed. “Then you know we

    I was having the best dream. I don't even remember what it was about but I remember the feeling, warm, easy, like nothing in the world needed anything from me. I stretched into it, pulling the blanket higher, chasing the last soft edges of it…“You're awake.”My eyes flew open.There was a man sitt
