Andrew's POV

Is she out of her mind?

I walked away from the carriage and straight into the packhouse and the question was still sitting in my head like something I couldn't shake loose. Bella. My wife. The woman who had spent two years in my house, who had cried and begged and threatened her own life to get this marriage, who had looked at me across a gathering like I was the answer to every question she'd ever had.

That woman had just sat in front of the Lycan King and asked for a divorce.

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 24

    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 the carriage pulled through the gate. Everyone found somewhere else to be. I had been in this packhouse long enough to read that particular energy and what it meant was that Andrew was home and in a mood and everyone within his range was managing their distance carefully.I sat with that information for a second before the carriage fully stopped.Lucas brought it to a halt and I pushed the door open and climbed down and when my feet hit the ground I turned and looked at him directly where he sat at the front."Thank you, Lucas," I said.I looked him in the eyes when I said it, held his gaze long enough for him to understand that I meant it and that the weight behind it was real, that I reme

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 23

    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 middle of the transfusion his eyes just closed. His breathing shifted and deepened and his whole body released from whatever constant effort holding himself at that particular level of control required, and he was just…gone. Asleep in the chair with his head tipped slightly back and his face finally, completely unguarded in a way I had never seen it when he was conscious.I stared at him.The physician finished everything quietly, disconnecting the line from my arm with practiced efficiency, and I sat on the edge of the bed and pressed my free hand flat against the mattress and took stock of how my body felt. Dizzy was the most accurate word for it. Not dramatically, not in a way that made the

  • MARRIED TO AN ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING    ༄Chapter 22

    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 composed while her fingers trembled against the hem was something I filed away without letting anything show on my face about it.I kept my expression exactly where it always was.Still and unreadable. The same face I wore in war rooms and throne rooms and every room where the wrong flicker of expression gave people information they could use against you. I had been wearing it so long it no longer required effort.Serena had been dealt with.That was the primary outcome of the last few minutes and it had been cleaner than I had expected when I heard her voice at that door. She had cheated. That was the fact and the fact was all there was, I had no interest in her explanation or her regret or the

    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. It was just an instruction, sitting in his amber eyes with the full weight of everything he was behind it, and every part of me that had a survival instinct understood that there was no version of this moment where I said no.I reached for the hem of my gown.My hands were not steady and there was nothing I could do about that. I pulled the gown up slowly and lifted it over my head and the air of the room touched my skin and I was standing in just my bra and my lace panties in front of the Lycan King and I kept my chin up because dropping it wasn't going to help anything."What the fuck, Ethan?"The woman's voice split through the room from behind me sharp and loud and I kept my eyes on Ethan

  • 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 of mine and the quiet of a part of the palace that was not meant to be seen by most people who came here.Private suite.Of course. A king with a curse that nobody was supposed to know about wasn't going to have me escorted through the public areas of his palace and past every set of eyes that lived here. That made sense. It didn't make my heart rate do anything more reasonable but it made sense.Matthew stopped at the last door at the end of a long hallway and turned to look at me briefly."Go inside," he said.And then he was already walking back the way we had come, his footsteps getting quieter, and I was standing in front of a closed door in a private hallway of the Lycan King's palace e

  • 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. Then he looked at Julie standing behind me and I felt her go still without turning to check."Which one of your useless friends?" he asked."Someone from before the marriage," I said. "I don't think you'd remember her. It was a long time ago, and my friends are not useless." I kept my voice easy, kept my shoulders relaxed, and kept the whole performance sitting at exactly the right level of casual. "I'll be back before it gets late. Julie's with me and your driver, so they can report to you when we're back." I smiled at him. "You'll know exactly when I'm home."Andrew looked at me for a moment longer than was comfortable and I held the smile right where it was and waited."Hmm." He looked
