Dominic’s POV

The mechanical detachment I had forced upon my mind over the last fourteen hours disintegrated in a single, catastrophic heartbeat.

Under my palm, her skin wasn’t burning with the righteous fury of a trapped mastermind. It wasn’t hot with the fever of a infected wound. It was marble. It was a stagnant, radiating frost that leaked into my bones, a terrifying, lifeless chill that made my wolf instantly let out a sharp, frantic whine of pure, unadulterated terror.

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   74. The Language of a Broken Heart

    Rosalie’s POVI stared at him, my breath hitching in my chest as the cold air of the bedchamber swirled around my bare skin. My mind was reeling, spinning into a vortex of sheer, unadulterated confusion.This wasn't the first time Dominic had stood over me and demanded to know the truth. Over the torturous weeks of my captivity, he had barked that demand at me in many rooms, sneered it against my skin in the dark, and woven it into the very fabric of the compliance contract that carried my death warrant. But every single one of those times, the question had been a weapon. It had been laced with the terrifying weight of his Alpha aura, heavy with the promise of violence, ruin, and the executioner’s blade.This time was different. The low, gravelly vibration of his voice didn’t carry the sharp edge of a threat. It didn't rattle the bones in my chest with royal fury. Instead, it was laced with a thick, desperate raw edge that made my heart stutter. It was soft. It was strained. It was

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   73. The Integrity of a Ghost

    Rosalie’s POVThe heavy, polished oak doors of the royal bedchamber clicked shut behind me, the sound echoing through the vast, vaulted room like the dropping of a portcullis.I stood frozen near the threshold, my hands trembling slightly against the heavy velvet of my midnight-blue skirts. The room was largely swallowed by shadows, illuminated only by the erratic, blood-orange glow of the hearth fire dancing across the stone walls. It felt like a stage set for an execution. My execution. I had survived the agonizing, suffocating tension of the afternoon court session, sitting on the dais like a hollowed-out porcelain doll, but I knew the true reckoning wouldn't happen in front of the high council. It would happen here. In the dark. Behind closed doors.I didn’t have to wait long.A few minutes later, the door ground open again, and Dominic stepped into the room. He didn't look like a king right now; he looked like a predator returning to his den. Without shedding a single word, h

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   72. The Sins of the King

    Dominic’s POVThe heavy, metallic echo of the oak doors slamming shut behind Alpha Eric vibrated through the ancient foundations of the solar. Then, total, suffocating silence.I stood entirely paralyzed in the suffocating, dusty blackness of the medieval viewing gallery, my massive frame locked rigid against the damp stone wall. My hands were gripping the reinforced iron-grille slits with enough raw, crushing force to bend the metal. My chest heaved in violent, shallow gasps, the air in my lungs feeling like jagged shards of glass.My golden eyes, completely unchained and glowing with a primal, terrifying Alpha light, stared down through the narrow stone aperture. Below me, Rosalie remained on her knees. She looked so agonizingly small against the vast, cold expanse of my solar, her tangled hair spilling over her face, her shoulders trembling as she tried to gather the tattered remnants of her dignity.Every single word she had just screamed at her father was still bouncing off t

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   71. The Architecture of Ruin

    Rosalie’s POVI couldn’t bat an eye for the whole night. The darkness of the royal bedchamber felt like a heavy, suffocating cage, my mind spinning with a violent, toxic anger at Dominic. I felt so utterly betrayed. I had sought him out on that dais to protect me; while I knew he was a monster, I had been an absolute idiot to believe him for a single second. He was playing me all along, and I had fallen for it like a senseless idiot.How desperate was I for someone to trust that I blindly trusted Dominic despite everything he had been doing to me since I arrived here? It had only taken a few moments of care and softness—a protective hand on mine, a steady rhythm on the ballroom floor—and I had completely forgotten all the pain and humiliation he had put me through. I hated myself. I hated my weakness. But the worst part was that I didn’t hate him. It was my own stupidity that had led me to think he cared about me. To him, I was just a lying traitor who had manipulated him first. He

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   70. The Price of Iron

    Rosalie’s POVThe silk of my emerald gown felt like a heavy, suffocating second skin as I stepped out from the shadowed alcove and back into the suffocating brilliance of the grand ballroom. My face was cold, the skin beneath my eyes tight where the tears had dried, but my internal architecture had already rebuilt its walls. I forced my jaw to unlock, my shoulders to square, and my gaze to fix straight ahead, refusing to look at the sea of predatory faces waiting for the King and his contract Luna to fail.Beside me, Dominic was a massive, unyielding wall of heat. His presence didn't offer comfort—not anymore—but the sheer mass of his frame shielded me from the immediate scrutiny of the court as we approached the edge of the polished marble floor.The orchestral music shifted, the heavy, driving brass fading out to make way for the fluid, sweeping strings of the formal opening waltz. The crowd parted smoothly, creating a vast, empty circle at the center of the room. Every eye in th

  • Sold To The Monster Alpha   69. The Anchor and the Ash

    Dominic’s POVSeconds ago, before I had even chosen to close the distance between us, I had looked down at Rosalie. While the entire court had been utterly blinded by Eric’s flawless performance—charmed by the touching image of a homesick Northern Alpha reuniting with his daughter—I had been tracking the subtle, lethal mechanics of her body.I saw her fingers. They were buried deep in the heavy emerald fabric of her skirts, crushing the silk so violently her knuckles had turned a stark, bloodless white. Her breathing hadn't just accelerated; it had flattened entirely, her chest locked in a rigid state of suffocation. She wasn't just uncomfortable. She was being systemically destroyed from the inside out by the mere warmth of his touch.My muscles had moved before my brain could even finalize a strategic calculation. The raw, territorial beast lurking beneath my royal doublet hadn't cared about the political theater or the risk of tipping my hand to a suspected conspirator. I had st
