Bailey’s POV

“My lady.”

I heard the word before I even turned, and by the time I faced the door, Laila was already on her knees, her palms flat against the floor, her head bowed so low it looked like she wanted to disappear into the floor.

“My lady, please forgive me,” she said quickly, her words tumbling over each other. “I was careless. I was foolish. I should not have accepted anything for you without informing the guards. I swear I was not thinking.”

I stared at her for a long moment, letti

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 50: Trouble in Paradise 

    Declan's POV “Say it again,” I said, but my voice did not sound like it belonged to me anymore, it sounded like something held together by effort alone, and I stayed seated because standing up felt like it would break the last bit of control I still had over my body.Callum did not hesitate, he just kept speaking like he had already carried this truth for too long to care how it landed, “Hera was twenty two years old,” he said, “and Voss selected her personally.”Rider did not move, Declan was completely frozen, and Bailey was the only one still watching Callum like she was trying to decide whether the ground itself had shifted under her feet.Callum continued, “He constructed a partial mate bond into her against her will and used her as a controlled variable to test whether he could place influence inside a bonded system without triggering detection.”I felt my throat go dry, but I still listened.“He intended her to reach you,” Callum said, “and to become Luna under conditions wher

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 49: Callum

    Bailey's POV “Bring him in properly and stop letting this turn into something staged for control instead of truth,” I said, and I kept my voice steady even though I could feel the entire room leaning forward into something none of us were ready to admit had already started.The gate opened wider and Callum walked in like he was not crossing into hostile ground but stepping into a space he had already mentally mapped years ago, and the strange part was that he did not scan the room like most outsiders, he simply selected where to sit and did it without asking, without pausing, without checking if permission even mattered.He settled into the chair with an ease that did not feel casual so much as practiced restraint, then let his attention move across us in a slow measured sequence that started with me, passed over Declan, lingered on Raven, and finally rested on Rider as if that was the only position he cared about structurally.He spoke before anyone else could establish direction. H

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 48: Permission

    Rider's POV“You are going to let him in properly and not keep him standing out there like we are trying to make a point,” I said, and my voice was controlled in that way that meant I had already decided what I would tolerate and what I would not, even if everyone else in the room thought they still had room to argue.Declan looked like he wanted to object immediately, but Raven did not speak and that silence again meant he was already calculating outcomes instead of reacting emotionally, which usually meant he agreed even if he did not like it.Bailey was the one who shifted the balance without even trying, because she had been watching the gate the entire time and not us, like the real conversation had already started outside and we were just late to it.

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 47: He is still asking

    Bailey's POV “Where is Rider,” I asked, my voice calm but already tight at the edges, because the silence at the table was not normal and I could feel it in the way no one was looking at me directly.Declan paused with his fork halfway down, then set it down like the food had suddenly become irrelevant, “He is handling something,” he said carefully.I stared at him, not blinking, “What something.”“I do not know yet,” he replied too quickly, and that was the first crack.Raven exhaled slowly from the other side of the table, not looking at either of us for a moment, just scanning the room like he expected it to change shape.I leaned back slightly, “That is a lie,” I said softly.Declan’s jaw tightened, “Bailey.”“No,” I interrupted, still calm, still steady, “don’t do that thing where you say my name like it fixes anything, just answer the question.”Silence spread again.Raven finally looked at me, and that look told me everything before he even spoke.“The name in Maren’s correspo

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 46: Intentions

    Rider's POV “Start from the beginning,” I said, my voice already tight before Declan even finished speaking, “because I need to hear exactly how this happened.”Declan stood in front of my desk like he was bracing for impact, hands half clenched, eyes restless, “She went to the well,” he said, “alone, and Bailey didn’t tell any of us.”The words hit first as anger, sharp and immediate, “She did what.”Then something else followed underneath it, slower, heavier, and I did not name it.“She met Maren,” Declan continued quickly, “and I followed her from a distance.”I leaned back slightly, jaw tightening, “You followed her without telling her.”“I followed her because she was going alone,” he shot back, then paused, correcting himself, “because something in me wouldn’t let me not.”I stared at him for a second longer than necessary, then exhaled through my nose, forcing control back into place, “Continue.”He did, and the more he spoke the quieter I became, not because I was calming dow

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 18

    Bailey’s POVI didn’t know what to do with Raven standing there in front of me like that because I was used to Rider’s anger that filled a room and Declan’s jokes that never stopped flowing, but Raven was quiet, still and intense in a way that made my thoughts scatter instead of sharpening, and it

    Bailey’s POVI paced around my room throughout the day, restless as I waited for him to return. Hours passed slowly, stretching into evening, and eventually exhaustion won. I lay down on the bed, pulling the duvet up to my chest and tucking myself in.It was nearly midnight when I heard the sound of

    Bailey’s POVI couldn’t stop replaying Raven’s words in my head even after breakfast was long over, every step I took beside him feeling careful, measured, like I was walking on something fragile and didn’t want to be the one to crack it, and the worst part was that I didn’t even know what I was af

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING   Chapter 20

    Bailey’s POVLaila didn’t answer me right away and the silence stretched long enough that I almost regretted asking, she looked like someone who had been handed a fragile thing she did not want to drop, her fingers twisting together in her lap, her gaze fixed on the wooden floor like waiting for it
