EMILY’S POV

I lay in the guest room, staring at the ceiling. My mind was racing with different thoughts that refused to let me rest.

My fingers traced the edge of the blanket, but I wasn’t really holding onto anything. I wasn’t sure if it was the dream I’d had that left me restless or the disheartening truth that my food hadn’t touched Lucas at all. The meal had been cold, forgotten, without a second thought. My chest tightened every time I replayed the memory in my mind.

A shiver ran down my spine, and my mind drifted back to that strange, lingering dream I had just before dawn. Joe, the Gamma was standing over me, his eyes dark and intent, his hand reaching out as though to claim me even in sleep. I could swear I felt the brush of his fingers against my arm, a phantom touch that made my skin crawl. I woke up gasping, my heart hammering hard against my ribs, and sweat clinging to my hair. The image haunted me, and I felt an almost instinctive pull to do something, anything, to secu

  • SOLD AS THE ALPHA KING'S PET    CHAPTER 69

    Emily's POV Karen held her arm around me protectively, as though she believed she could physically shield me from what was happening outside. Clarisse, however, looked more irritated than afraid. Even her fear came out as anger. Her arms were crossed tightly, her fingers tapping furiously against her elbows.My heart pounded painfully, each beat like it wanted to break through my chest.Then I saw a guard that had managed to crawl into the far corner of the room. He was barely breathing, blood pooling beneath him and dripping onto the floorboards. He wasn’t dead yet. But the gash in his abdomen was deep that I could see tissue and bone.“Oh my God,” I whispered, pushing forward.Karen grabbed my arm hard. “Emily, no. He’s not going to make it.”“We can’t just leave him there like that!” My voice cracked. “He’s suffering.”Clarisse scoffed. “He’s a liability. If he cries out and they hear him, we’re all dead.” She said it like it was common sense and I was an idiot for caring.The gua

    Emily’s POVThe moment Lucas left for his negotiation trip, I threw myself into wedding preparations as if my life depended on it. Part of me was doing it out of excitement but another part of me was doing it to distract myself from the fear that kept whispering in my ears that he might not come back.Karen stayed glued to my side, dragging me through catalogs, talking to florists, and helping me pick out decorations. Every hour was filled with decisions on flowers, fabrics, dresses and meals. I didn't even know planning a wedding could be so chaotic, especially on such short notice.But I wanted everything to be perfect for us.Clarisse, surprisingly, didn’t cause a scene.She didn’t talk much. She didn’t fight me or even argue. She only walked around with that permanent scowl on her face.Every now and then, she gave me one of those sharp stink eyes but every single time I ignored her.It never made me stop my preparations for our wedding and a few times, I made sure she heard thing

    Emily’s POVI woke up reaching for him.My hand brushed over nothing but cold sheets. For a moment I lay there, staring up at the ceiling with a sinking feeling in my stomach. Lucas always woke up earlier than me, but the bed never felt this empty.“Lucas?” I called out as I sat up.A bit of unease crawled up my spine. I got out of bed and quickly made my way through the house, checking the kitchen, the living room, the hallway, and even the guest rooms.The last place left was the study.I pushed the door open slowly and sure enough, there he was.Lucas stood by the window, his back to me, one hand holding his phone to his ear while the other rested against the desk like he needed the support. He was talking softly, but the edge in his voice made my heart clench.I stayed silent until he finally ended the call.When he turned around, he gave me a small smile.“You’re awake,” he said.I crossed my arms, fighting the sudden wave of frustration washing through me. “Why are you working s

    Lucas’ POVBy the time I got home, I immediately spotted her.Emily was slouched on the couch, her head tilted against the armrest, eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. An untouched glass of water sat on the table, and her hair usually neatly brushed was now a tangled mess that framed her pale face. Her shoes were kicked off near the door, and the faint scent of alcohol lingered in the air.For a second, I just stood there, taking in the sight of her. Relief flooded through me that she was home, safe but then the worry set in again.“Emily,” I said softly, walking toward her. “Hey… are you okay?”Her eyes fluttered open at the sound of my voice, unfocused at first, then slowly finding me.“Lucas?” she whispered, her tone almost childlike.“Yeah, it’s me.” I crouched beside her, brushing a strand of hair off her cheek. “You scared us. Karen and I were worried sick. Where did you go?”Before she could answer, Karen appeared from behind, arms folded and concern written all over her face.“W

    Emily’s POVI never thought I’d end up sitting in a bar, of all places.I’d passed this street a dozen times back when I came to visit Lucas at the hospital, but I never once looked inside the glowing red doorway that now called to me. I wasn’t raised to drink. Back in school, I was the quiet girl—the one who stayed out of trouble, who sipped juice at parties and left before midnight. But tonight, I didn’t want to be that girl. Tonight, I didn’t want to be anyone at all.My hands trembled as I pushed open the door. The heavy smell of alcohol and cheap perfume wrapped around me immediately. The bar wasn’t crowded, just a few people hunched over tables, the soft hum of music vibrating through the walls. I took a seat at the far end, away from the laughter and chatter, and ordered the first drink the bartender suggested.The liquid burned as it went down, but I forced myself to take another sip.I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to steady my breathing, but the ache only grew stronger

    Lucas’s POVThe morning came in a flash. I hadn’t slept a wink because every time I closed my eyes, Emily’s angry voice echoed in my head. But maybe she was right. Maybe I deserved to die alone after keeping the truth from her.I was standing by the window, staring out into the early sunlight, when I heard footsteps behind me. Clarisse’s scent hit me before I even turned.“Lucas,” she said.I turned to face her. She looked calmer than usual, her hair brushed neatly, and she wore a pale blue dress that made her look innocent.“Can we talk?” she asked, stepping into the room.I sighed. “If this is about Emily, I’m not in the mood.”“It’s not,” she said quickly, walking closer. “It’s about us.”That made me turn fully to her. “Us?”Clarisse nodded. “Yes. I’ve been thinking maybe it’s time we stop fighting what’s meant to be.”My brows furrowed. “What are you talking about?”She smiled faintly. “A marriage between us, Lucas. It makes sense, doesn’t it?”I stared at her, stunned. For a m
