SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING Chapter 86
Raven's POVThe infirmary smelled like antiseptic and something metallic and faintly sweet I couldn’t place. Too many wounds, too many nights spent patching up bodies meant I instinctively knew the difference between a fresh injury and one that had festered. This one was… neither.He lay on the cot, a still form under a thin sheet, his breathing shallow, hitching with an effort that made my own chest ache. Marcus, our lead medic, stood over him, peeling back a gauze strip from his shoulder. There, stark against pale skin, was the brand. A jagged, almost crude symbol of a wolf’s head, singed deep. It wasn’t a pack mark. Never seen anything like it.“How bad is it?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, not wanting to startle the

Rider's POVI read Lia’s correspondence with Voss twice. The words blurred after a while, my eyes tracing the same lines, searching for something, anything, beyond what lay bare. It confirmed everything she had said in the letter to Bailey: basic, routine information exchanged over a two-month period. Nothing operational, no whispers of strategy, nothing that could have directly fed into the council’s case against my Alpha status. The emails were innocuous, almost painstakingly so, a series of pleasantries and minor details, the sort of bureaucratic fluff that filled the inboxes of political aides everywhere. Then, abruptly, eight weeks ago, Lia’s replies ceased. Voss’s contact, a man named Barret, grew increasingly demanding in his subsequent messages, each one tinged with a rising impatience, and each unanswered. She had simply stopped.

Bailey's POV Lia opened the door just as my knuckles grazed the wood. She had been waiting. Her eyes, usually so guarded, held a flicker of something I couldn’t quite decipher. She didn’t smile, didn’t speak, just stepped back, and I walked into her rooms. It was as sparse and neat as I expected. A uniform arrangement of furniture, clean lines, without a single personal touch, save for one framed photograph on the windowsill that I didn’t quite focus on yet. My gaze swept across the polished surfaces, looking for what, I wasn’t sure. A tell. A sign.I sat on the edge of a stiff armchair. Lia sat a moment later, directly across from me, her hands clasped loosely in her lap. The silence stretched, thick and heavy, punctuated only by my own breathing. I could feel my heart thudding a slow, tense rhythm against my ribs.“I read the letter,” I said, my voice sounding rougher than I intended.“I know,” she replied, her tone neutral, devoid of apology or defensiveness.I leaned forward slig

Bailey's POV Declan found me in the library, as usual. He walked straight to the table where I sat, the one near the tall arched window, and pulled out the chair opposite me. I watched his face as he sat, trying to decipher his mood, but it was unreadable. He placed a folded piece of paper, thick and cream-colored, on the polished wood between us. He didn’t say anything. He just pushed it slightly towards me and then settled back, his gaze steady.I picked it up, my fingers brushing the heavy paper. It felt strangely formal, out of place in our current chaos. The return address was printed neatly in the top left corner. Lia. My name was handwritten below, precise and elegant. I unfolded it carefully.It was three pages long. Lia wrote exactly as she spoke, directly, without a single wasted word or flourish. Her handwriting was small but clear, unwavering. I started to read.She began by explaining how Voss had approached her eight months ago. She’d been outside territory then, vulner

Declan's POVShe. The word echoed in my head, simple and sharp. A woman. My mind immediately started running through faces, a whirlwind of every female I’d seen roaming the palace halls over the last few months. A dozen, two dozen. Too many. Then Voss’s words cut through the mental static. “Already here when you started planning.” That narrowed it, but not by much. Women were always “here.” Then the next twist: “Someone who had been forgiven.” And the bitter kicker: “Someone nobody would suspect because of that forgiveness.”My gaze found Raven’s across the room. Her eyes, usually so guarded, were wide with a sudden, dawning terror. A flicker of recognition passed between us, a silent chord struck. We had both arrived at the same conclusion, and the name that formed in our minds was a stone in my gut. We didn’t speak it, couldn

Rider's POVBailey brought Sol to me, a quiet shadow trailing in her wake. I had imagined confronting him, had planned the anger I would unleash, but the fury withered five minutes into his careful, nervous explanation. He stood before me, a man of twenty-four, gaunt and pale under the harsh light of my office. He had been Voss’s tethered puppet since childhood, and the weight of that truth settled heavily. He had sat in a room beside Bailey for three months, a wilting mourning flower in his hand, convinced Voss would have him killed if he failed, certain some other, more ruthless operative would take his place.“The flower,” I said, my voice rougher than I intended, “why did you keep it?”Sol flinched, his eyes darting to Bailey, then back to m
