Sleep was a luxury I couldn’t afford. Not tonight.

SOLD TO THE ALPHA KING Chapter 88
Rider's POVSleep was a luxury I couldn’t afford. Not tonight. I sat in the worn leather armchair by the window, the soft light of the moon painting the room in shades of silver and gray, and watched Bailey sleep in our bed. Her breathing was even, peaceful. I wished I could join her in that oblivion, but my mind was a whirlwind of connections, a web I’d meticulously been weaving in the darkness of the hours since I'd left Sol.Voss arranging the sale. The forged paperwork. Maren’s manipulations. Sol’s desperate warnings. Lia’s brutal honesty. The rogue faction’s relentless pursuit. Callum, missing, vanished without a trace after hinting at something bigger. Every single thread, every single threat, coiled back to her. Not the pack. Not my brothers. Not even the general concept of the Thorne bloodl

Bailey's POVA knock came at my door, soft enough not to startle but firm enough to demand attention. I was still shaky from the infirmary, from the sudden rush of information and the weight of what it meant. My hand went to my still-flat belly, a protective instinct already taking root. “Come in,” I called, my voice a little hoarse.Raven pushed the door open, his usual stoicism creased by a rare, troubled frown. He didn't waste time with pleasantries, which I appreciated. I preferred the direct approach, especially now. I would rather hear it from him, unfiltered, than piece together whispers and half-truths from the other guards.He closed the door behind him and moved to stand in front of me as I sat braced on the edge of the bed. “They came for y

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
