Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Child Beneath the Silver Water
“That's the one who died with me.”The words left their son's mouth, and the chamber seemed to lose its breath.Aria stared at the child rising from the silver pool.He looked exactly like her son. The same small face, the same dark hair, the same frightened eyes. Even the tiny scar beneath his chin was there.But something was terribly wrong.The child beneath the water had no reflection.“Stay where you are,” Kael warned.The second boy tilted his head.“Why are you holding him?”“Because he's my son.”“No,” the boy replied. “He's mine.”Their son buried his face against Kael's neck.Aria stepped forward, placing herself between the pool and her family.“You are not taking him.”The child in the water smiled sadly.“I don't want to take him. I want him to remember.”Selene tightened her grip on the guardian blade.“Don't let it speak to him. That's how it begins.”Lysandra approached the pool, her expression filled with dread.“This is not another illusion.”“Then what is it?” Elara
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Heart Behind the Darkness
The fifth light pulsed once.Aria felt the movement beneath her ribs, as though something had reached through the darkness and touched her heart.Her son stumbled.Kael caught him before his knees struck the stone.“Stay behind me,” he ordered, pulling the child against his chest.But the little boy kept staring at the black figure.“Why does it have my heart?” he whispered.“It doesn't,” Aria answered quickly.The silver blade trembled in her hand.The fifth light pulsed again.This time, their son cried out and clutched his chest.Kael turned sharply.“What is happening to him?”Lysandra approached, her eyes fixed on the darkness.“The creature has found the last connection.”“What connection?” Aria demanded.“The one the first guardian could never destroy.”Aria raised the blade.“Explain.”Lysandra hesitated.“The four streams of silver light were created to divide the First Hunger's power. But the fifth light was different. It was not part of the prison. It was the bond that allo
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Name That Awakened the Door
“Eshara.”The name left their son's lips in a trembling whisper, but its effect was immediate.The silver blade in Aria's hand flashed so brightly that everyone in the passage recoiled. A deep vibration rolled through the stone beneath their feet. Somewhere behind them, beyond the walls of the hidden passage, something answered.Not a growl.Not a scream.A sigh.It sounded like someone who had been waiting for centuries to hear their own name spoken again.Kael moved in front of Aria, his hand reaching for the weapon at his waist.“What did you say?” he demanded.Their son buried his face against Aria's shoulder. His small fingers twisted into her clothing.“That's what it calls itself.”Aria tightened her arms around him.“Who told you that name?”“No one.”“Then how do you know it?”The boy lifted his head. His eyes were wet, but there was something unsettling behind the fear. It was the expression of someone remembering a place he had once lived.“I heard it when I was sleeping.”
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Boy Who Came Back
“I'm not the one who came back.” The words struck Aria harder than any weapon. Kael stood frozen, staring at the two identical children. One was bleeding, frightened and trembling. The other stood behind him, perfectly still, wearing a smile that did not belong on a child's face. “Stay where you are,” Kael ordered. The smiling child tilted his head. “Father?” Kael tightened his grip on his sword. “Don't call me that.” The child's smile widened. “But you used to carry me when I was little.” “You are not my son.” “Are you certain?” Aria moved closer to the frightened boy. “Sweetheart, look at me.” He raised his eyes. “Mother.” She immediately recognized the fear in them. She reached for him, but he stepped backward. “Don't touch me yet.” “Why?” “Because it can feel what I feel.” Aria's heart tightened. “What does that mean?” The boy looked at his double. “It followed me out of the dark.” The smiling child laughed. “You make it sound as though I am a stranger.”
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Guardian's Hidden Face
“Now you finally know me, daughter.” Aria stopped breathing. The voice was close enough to feel like a whisper against her cheek, yet no one stood beside her. “Who are you?” she demanded. A soft laugh moved through the darkness. “You have asked that question many times.” The black moon above the chamber began glowing again. Its surface rippled, revealing the face of a woman. Silver eyes. Dark hair. A familiar crown of twisted branches. Aria recognized her immediately. The woman from her memories. The first guardian. But there was something else. The face was identical to her mother's. Aria stumbled backward. “No.” Kael caught her arm. “Aria?” She pointed toward the moon. “She looks like my mother.” The woman smiled. “Because I am the beginning of her bloodline.” Lysandra stared upward. “That cannot be true. The first guardian disappeared thousands of years ago.” “Disappeared?” the woman repeated. “Is that what they told you?” Her eyes
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Eye Behind the Moon
The eye opened.Its enormous pupil stretched across the darkness above the silver tree, swallowing the stars one by one. The chamber trembled beneath its gaze, and the roots tightened around the four children.Aria fought against them.“Nara!”The little girl was being dragged toward the hollow trunk. Her fingers reached desperately for Aria, but the roots pulled her farther away.“Don't let it take her!” Elara screamed.Kael struggled against the root wrapped around his arm. His sword lay several feet away, just beyond his reach.“Aria, get the children away from the tree!”“I'm trying!”She pulled at the roots around her legs. They tightened until pain shot through her body.Then the voice returned.“Four pieces. Four promises. One forgotten beginning.”Orin remained on his knees, his head bowed.“My lord, I have prepared everything.”The eye shifted toward him.“Everything?”Orin swallowed.“The keeper has returned. The prison has weakened. The children are gathered.”“And the choi
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Return
Kael came back three days later.I felt him before I saw him. The bond — the thing he kept calling a bond — pulsed in my chest like a second heartbeat. Warm. Demanding. Pulling me toward the front door.I was in the kitchen. Eating bread I didn't taste. Drinking tea that had gone cold an hour ago.
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Jealousy
The kiss followed me to bed.Not Kael. Just the memory. Just the way his mouth felt against mine. Just the sound he made when I didn't push him away.I lay on the left side of his bed. The same spot as last night. The same clothes. The same bite mark throbbing on my neck.Kael wasn't here.He'd dis
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Border
The border looked like any other tree line.Snow-covered pines. Frozen ground. Grey sky pressing down like a ceiling. But I could feel the tension in the air — the way the wolves on both sides stood too still, watched too closely, breathed too carefully.Kael stood beside me. His shoulder brushed m
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The First Taste
The pack stared at me like I was already dead.I felt their eyes the moment I walked into the dining hall. Dozens of wolves. All of them Bloodmoon. All of them hungry for something I couldn't give them.A blonde woman near the window whispered to her friend. The friend laughed. A man by the fire pl
