TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 113
LyraI smiled to myself as I watched the servants carry the last of the dishes into the dining room. One after another, they set each platter in its proper place before making small adjustments.The candles cast a warm glow across the table, the silverware gleamed under the chandelier, and the rich aroma of roasted meat and herbs drifted through the room.I stood there for another moment, letting myself admire the scene I had spent the better part of the afternoon preparing. It wasn't the food or the decorations that mattered most to me tonight. It was what I hoped we might accomplish.If this dinner went well, maybe things between Raguel and Miguel would finally begin moving in the right direction. They didn't have to become inseparable overnight, but if they could simply sit through one meal without hostility, then maybe there was still hope for them.That thought stayed with me as I walked inside.Miguel was already there, standing beside his chair with an amused smile on his face.

CLAIREThe words "apartment with Rita" looped in my head like a broken record, each repetition hitting me harder than the last. I felt a physical jolt in my chest, a sudden drop in pressure that left me feeling lightheaded and completely blindsided. Of all the things I anticipated, I wasn’t prepared for her to simply decide to leave.Of course she has been hinting at it, but I’ve been averting it. And I thought we were already past it, that we had already come to a conclusion. Now this?I stared at Claire, searching her face for any sign that this was a joke, but her expression was resolute, though her eyes were shimmering with a mixture of guilt and determination. She looked so small in the oversized shirt she was wearing, her toes curling against the cold tile floor, yet she was delivering a blow that felt like a sledgehammer to my ribs. The silence stretched between us, making the air feel too dense to breathe."Where is this coming from?" I finally asked, my voice sounding hol

LyraThe ride back to the estate was far quieter than the journey to the retreat.I rested my head against the carriage window, watching the trees blur past while absentmindedly running my fingers over the tiny silver wolf charm Raguel had won for me before we left.I smiled to myself.I still couldn't believe he'd actually listened to Zevran.When I'd returned with the drinks and found the charm sitting in Raguel's palm, he'd acted as if it hadn't taken him several attempts to get it."I thought you said those machines were ridiculous.""They are.""Then why did you use one?"He'd shrugged."It happened to contain something you kept staring at.""I wasn't staring.""You were."That tiny conversation kept replaying in my head, making me smile all over again.The retreat had gone better than anything I'd expected.Somehow, against all odds, Raguel had actually warmed up to Zevran.Not completely.He still watched him a little too carefully whenever he thought no one was looking, but th

RaguelI knew it was a mistake the moment we arrived.I stood beside Lyra outside the entrance of the mountain lodge, my overnight bag hanging from one shoulder as I stared at the large wooden sign that welcomed us.Moonridge Couples Retreat.Beneath it, written in much smaller letters, was another line.One unforgettable night of romance, games and adventure!Lyra rested her head briefly against my shoulder. "I'm sure we'd have fun."I looked toward the entrance again where couples were already checking in. Some were taking pictures together. Others were laughing while staff handed them welcome bags.This was exactly the sort of place I avoided.Too many people, too many opportunities to embarrass myself, too many humans."I still think this is a terrible idea.""I know.""And I'm still blaming you for whatever happens.""I know. But you'll survive.""I'm less confident than you are."She laughed again before tugging me toward the entrance. "Come on."Before I could protest any furth

LyraI found Raguel exactly in his room.The council chamber had finally emptied after what had apparently been another exhausting meeting, and he was standing near one of the open windows in his bedroom with several documents spread across his desk. The sleeves of his black shirt were rolled to his forearms.He didn't notice me immediately.His attention was fixed on the report in his hands, his brow drawn together in concentration as he read through the page.I leaned against the doorframe and folded my arms."You know," I said, "most people take breaks after working for so long."Without looking up, he answered, "Most people don't rule kingdoms."I smiled. "Fair point."He finally lifted his head, and the serious expression he'd been wearing softened almost instantly. He set the report aside and walked toward me."I was beginning to wonder if you'd forgotten I existed."I laughed. "I've been awake for hours."He stopped in front of me, slipped one arm around my waist, and pressed a

LyraFor a few blissful seconds after I woke up, I remained tucked beneath the blankets, my eyes still closed as I listened to the low sounds filtering through the room. The crackling fire in the hearth had burned low overnight, leaving only soft pops every now and then. Beyond the windows, birds chirped somewhere in the estate, welcoming another morning.I opened my eyes and stretched lazily.An envelope rested neatly on the small table beside my bed and my brows furrowed in confusion.A knot settled in my stomach as I thought back to the letters I had been getting after Raguel introduced me to the werewolf world and publicly acknowledged me as his mate. The strange anonymous letters had stopped and weeks had gone by without another one appearing. Eventually I'd convinced myself whoever had been sending them had finally given up.Apparently not.I pushed the blankets aside and reached for the envelope. The seal was blank as always. No crest, no signature, nothing.I sighed before bre

LYRAFor a minute, everything existed in echoes and blurs. I expected Aaron to laugh and tell me he was joking, or to tell me he had dismissed Raguel immediately and that they were currently hunting for another investor. But my husband did none of that. He continued driving through the quiet road

LyraBy the fifth shower, even the freezing water failed to quench the heat raging within. It only made me more hypersensitive, turning every drop of icy cold water into an agonizing tease against my flesh.I stepped back into the silver-bathed bedroom, my silk nightgown clinging to my damp body li
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 5: Didn’t You Hope For This?
LYRAI woke up feeling like I had been dragged through something I couldn’t remember. My body felt heavy and weak, with an aching, unfamiliar soreness. I lay still, trying to piece together fragments of the night before. Flashes—red eyes, a voice, a hand around my neck, the words, “Your husband sold
