Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Darkness Beneath Her Skin
“It's inside you.”The words hung in the collapsing chamber.Aria stared at her son, struggling to understand what he had just said. His little fingers pointed directly at her chest, where the silver key rested against her skin. Its two broken halves trembled beneath her clothing, producing a faint metallic sound.Kael moved closer to the child.“Don't say anything else until we understand what you mean,” he said carefully.Their son shook his head. His eyes were no longer entirely silver. Darkness had begun spreading through them, like ink dissolving in water.“I can feel it, Father.”Kael crouched in front of him and held his small shoulders.“What can you feel?”“The thing that was behind the door.” The child swallowed. “It's not behind the door anymore.”Aria's stomach tightened.She looked at the cracks spreading across the chamber floor. The shadows beneath them were moving against the direction of the light, gathering in the spaces between the stones.“Where is Elara?” she dema
Sold to My Enemy Alpha When the Two Halves Became One
“Now we are finally whole.”The voice coming from Elara's mouth was not human.Aria struggled to sit upright, but the memories flooding her mind made the room spin. She saw the first keeper standing beneath a blood-red moon. She saw a little girl crying behind glass. She saw her mother carrying her through the forest while something enormous followed them through the shadows.And beneath all those memories, she heard a familiar whisper.Remember.Kael tightened his arms around her.“Aria, stay with me.”She gripped his shirt.“It's inside her.”“I know.”“No, Kael. It's not just inside her. It's inside my memories too.”Across the chamber, Elara stood perfectly still. The black mark on her wrist had spread toward her elbow, forming intricate patterns beneath her skin.Lysandra raised the guardian blade.“Don't let it come closer.”Elara tilted her head.“You still believe that little weapon can hurt me?”Lysandra held her ground.“It can sever the connection between you and the living
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Girl Beneath the House
“Mother? You promised you'd come back for me.”The little girl's voice rose from beneath the staircase.Aria stopped breathing.She knew that voice.Not because she had heard it recently, but because some part of her had carried it for years, buried beneath dreams she could never fully remember.A child's sob in the dark.A woman's desperate footsteps.A door slamming shut.And someone screaming her name.Aria gripped Kael's arm.“Did you hear that?”He nodded, his expression grim.“Stay behind me.”Lysandra had gone deathly pale. She stood several steps away from the open doorway, staring at the inscription as though the words had become a sentence passed upon her.“The first keeper's daughter died,” she whispered. “I saw the records myself.”“What records?” Aria demanded.“Her name was Elara. She was born before the Hollow King was imprisoned. According to the order, she died during the final ritual that sealed the first passage.”“Then why does this say she survived?”“I don't know
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Secret Beneath Her Childhood Home
Aria could still hear the first hunger's final words.Ask her what she buried beneath your childhood home.The ancient doors had closed, the silver symbols had vanished, and the terrible pressure that had filled the hall was finally gone. Yet the warning remained, burrowing into her thoughts with every breath.Kael stood beside her, one arm wrapped around their son. Blood stained his shirt, and the dark mark on his throat had begun to fade, but his eyes remained fixed on Aria.“What childhood home?” he asked.Aria swallowed.“The house where I grew up.”“You told me your mother moved you between safe houses when you were young.”“She did. But before that, we lived in one place for several years.”“Where?”“Near the eastern forest. It was a small house outside the old pack territory.”Kael's expression hardened.“Why have you never mentioned it?”“Because I barely remember it.”That was not entirely true.She remembered a wooden staircase that creaked beneath her feet. A garden filled
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Thing Behind the Lock
The archway opened without a sound.That was what frightened Aria most.The chains had screamed when they broke. The barrier had shattered with a thunderous crash. Even the Hollow King had roared when the ancient seal weakened.But the door beyond him moved silently, revealing a darkness so complete that the silver light in the hall seemed to bend away from it.Something waited inside.Aria clutched her son against her chest.His little body had gone rigid. His eyes remained black, and his lips parted as though he were listening to a voice no one else could hear.“Sweetheart?” she whispered. “Look at me.”He didn't respond.The Hollow King slowly lowered its hand.For the first time since Aria had entered the hall, the ancient creature appeared afraid.“Close the door,” it commanded.The voice came from everywhere at once.Aria stared at it. “You said you wanted the prison opened.”“I said nothing of the kind.”“You've been trying to break the seal!”“I have been trying to keep it clo
Sold to My Enemy Alpha The Child Who Remembered the Darkness
“Father, why are you afraid of me?”The child's voice echoed through the hall.Aria couldn't move.A small figure stood beside the Hollow King, half-hidden beneath the creature's enormous shadow. The boy wore the same little blue tunic her son had worn that morning before she left the palace. His dark curls fell across his forehead, and his tiny hands were curled into fists.But his eyes were wrong.They glowed with a pale, unnatural silver.“Sweetheart?” Aria whispered.The boy turned toward her.“Mother.”One word was enough to shatter her restraint.She ran toward him.“Aria, stop!” Kael shouted.The chains around his wrists rattled violently as he struggled to free himself. Blood ran down his forearms, but he seemed not to notice.“Don't touch him!” he yelled. “He's not what he appears to be!”Aria stopped several steps from the child.Her son's face crumpled.“Why won't you come to me?”The pain in his voice was unbearable. She wanted to gather him into her arms, cover his face w
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
