Zevran

The following morning, I buried myself in work.

It was easier that way. If I kept my head down and focused on reports, council matters, territory disputes and the endless stack of documents waiting for my approval, I wouldn't have to think about what had happened the night before.

Unfortunately, my mind had no interest in cooperating.

Every time I looked away from a document, I saw Dahlia standing in the doorway of Vivianne's room. I heard the hurt in her voice when she asked me to expla

  • SOLD BY MY HUSBAND TO THE LYCAN KING   54: The Northern Territories

    ZevranThe following morning, I buried myself in work.It was easier that way. If I kept my head down and focused on reports, council matters, territory disputes and the endless stack of documents waiting for my approval, I wouldn't have to think about what had happened the night before.Unfortunately, my mind had no interest in cooperating.Every time I looked away from a document, I saw Dahlia standing in the doorway of Vivianne's room. I heard the hurt in her voice when she asked me to explain myself. I remembered the look on her face when I ordered her out.I had been cruel and there was no excuse for it.I knew that room was painful for me, but Dahlia hadn't known what she was walking into. She had been curious, maybe jealous, or just trying to understand why I had reacted so badly to Vivianne's name. Instead of explaining, I had lashed out at her.I pressed my fingers against my temples and forced myself to read the report in front of me. I got through three lines before giving

  • SOLD BY MY HUSBAND TO THE LYCAN KING   53: How Did She Die?

    DahliaThe change in Zevran's demeanor was so sudden that I could barely process it.Less than a minute ago, he had been standing in front of me with anger written all over his face, his voice raised as he ordered me out of Vivianne's room. Now he stood in my bedroom looking like he couldn't forgive himself for what he had done.His shoulders had dropped, and the tension in his jaw was gone. He looked tired, almost defeated, and the sight of him like that only made me more confused.I folded my arms across my chest. “You were angry with me a minute ago, Zevran.”“I know.” His answer came quietly. “I’m sorry.”I stared at him.“I've never seen you that angry with me before. And now you're standing here apologizing, looking like you can't live with yourself.”He looked back at me, and the guilt in his eyes was impossible to miss.“I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.”I watched him for a few seconds, still trying to reconcile the two versions of him. The man who had thrown me out

  • SOLD BY MY HUSBAND TO THE LYCAN KING   52: I Miss You

    DahliaThe room looked like someone still lived in it.Everything was clean and carefully maintained. The bed was neatly made, the curtains were drawn back, and books filled the shelves. Perfume bottles sat on the dresser beside framed photographs, while a few dresses still hung inside the wardrobe.My chest tightened.I walked to the dresser and picked up one of the photographs. It showed Vivianne standing beside Zevran, his arm wrapped around her waist as they both smiled.I had seen photographs of her online, but this felt different. This was personal.Zevran looked genuinely happy. There was none of the coldness or guarded expression I had become used to. He was looking at Vivianne like she was the only person in the world who mattered.I picked up another photograph. They were standing on a beach, Vivianne resting her head against his shoulder while Zevran laughed at something she had said. His entire face looked different.I slowly put the photograph down.I thought I knew Zevra

    DahliaI couldn’t believe I was back to being jealous of a dead woman.That night, I sat on the edge of my bed, replaying what had happened. The moment Celeste mentioned Vivianne, everything had changed, and it reminded me too much of Aaron and Lilith. The only difference was that Vivianne wasn’t coming back for my husband. She was already dead, yet I still felt like I was standing in someone else’s place.I rubbed my face and sighed. “Seriously, Dahlia?” I stared at the empty room. “What are you even doing?”My mind kept returning to dinner, to Sebastian’s apology, Zevran’s silence, and those four words.She was my mate.I barely slept that night.By morning, Zevran was nowhere to be seen. He missed breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and by the second day, I stopped pretending it didn’t bother me.I sat alone at the dining table and stared at his empty chair before asking, “Where is he?”Dora hesitated. “His Majesty has been busy, my lady.”“Busy for two days?”She lowered her gaze. “He h

    DahliaThe warmth disappeared from Celeste’s expression so quickly that I immediately wondered if I had accidentally stepped over some invisible line. One moment, she had been smiling and talking easily, and the next, her expression had changed completely. She glanced at Sebastian, then at Zevran, and the nervous look that passed between them only made me more confused.“I'm sorry,” Celeste said quietly.I frowned. “Why are you apologizing?”She looked uncomfortable, almost embarrassed by her own words, as though she wished she could take them back.“I shouldn't have brought her up.”I glanced around the table again. Everyone seemed unusually tense now, and the easy conversation we'd been having only minutes earlier felt like something that had happened in another room. I looked back at Celeste, unable to ignore the question that was still sitting in my mind.“Who is she?” I asked.Celeste hesitated before answering. “Vivianne was my childhood best friend.”Her voice softened as she s

    DahliaBy the time Zevran's car pulled up outside Sebastian's house, I had already put myself together. I adjusted my dress and glanced at Zevran.“That cannot happen inside there.”He looked at me innocently. “I’ll behave myself.”I gave him a look, holding his gaze for a moment because we both knew that was a ridiculous thing to say.He chuckled softly.We got out of the car, and Zevran came around to my side. I expected him to simply walk with me to the door, but instead, he placed a hand lightly at my back and guided me toward the entrance. The gesture was casual enough, but I could still feel the warmth of his hand through my dress as we walked.I was still trying to decide whether I trusted him to behave when the front door opened.Sebastian stood there.For perhaps three seconds, none of us said anything. Sebastian's usual composed expression was still on his face, but there was something sitting on top of his head that immediately made me question whether I was seeing correctl
