TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 190
LyraI knew something was wrong before I even reached the council hall.The noise from inside had already reached the corridor, voices overlapping so loudly that I could barely make out individual words. Guards stood on either side of the entrance, watching the crowd with tense expressions as wolves from different packs gathered around the hall.I slowed as I approached.There were far more people than I had expected.Some were shouting my name. Others were demanding that Raguel remain King.For a moment, I stood there trying to understand how things had changed so quickly. The last time I had walked through these halls, people had been uncertain about me. Now they were fighting over what my existence meant for the future of the kingdom.A guard opened the doors and the noise immediately grew louder.I stepped inside.The council hall was packed.Representatives from nearly every major pack stood on opposite sides of the chamber, and even the elders seemed divided. Some watched me wit

HabeelaI stared at the old record in front of me, then looked at Zevran.“This doesn't make sense.”Zevran leaned over the table and looked down at the document again. Several sections of the document had been so badly damaged that some lines and paragraphs were impossible to read. We had spent hours going through records that were supposed to contain information about the forgotten faction, but the more we found, the less sense everything made.“They were supposed to be insignificant,” Zevran said. “That is what the records say.”“And you believe them?”“No.”Zevran looked at me, and I could tell he knew I was thinking the same thing.The faction had survived for decades by making itself appear harmless. They had stayed away from major political disputes, avoided public positions of influence, and allowed the more powerful bloodlines to believe they were nothing more than an old family with no real interest in the throne.It should have made them easy to ignore. Instead, it made the

RaguelI stood in the doorway and looked at Charlotte and Miguel without saying anything for a moment.The conversation had stopped the instant they saw me, and that alone was enough to put me on alert. Charlotte's shoulders had stiffened, while Miguel remained almost completely still. There was a brief hesitation in both their expressions that told me I had interrupted something.I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me.“What were you two discussing?”Charlotte glanced at Miguel before looking back at me. “Nothing that concerns you.”I almost smiled at that answer, but there was nothing amusing about the way she had said it.“I didn't ask whether it concerned me,” I said. “I asked what you were discussing.”Miguel leaned against the edge of the table, looking relaxed. “Is there a reason why you're here, Raguel?”“I don't know. Why don't you tell me?”His eyes narrowed slightly, but I didn't say anything.I had learned a long time ago that Miguel was at his most dangerou

Charlotte I knew something had changed the moment Miguel told me that Lyra had met the mysterious figure.I stared at him across the room, trying to understand what I was hearing. For months, we had been working around Lyra, the prophecy, the palace, and the people who wanted her on the throne. We had planned carefully, moving one piece at a time and making sure neither of us acted without knowing what the other was doing.Now, suddenly, there was someone else involved.Someone we had not planned for.“What do you mean Lyra met them?” I asked.Miguel remained calm, almost annoyingly so. He stood near the window with his hands in his pockets, looking out into the palace grounds.“You know who I mean.”“No, Miguel, I clearly do not.”He finally turned to face me, and something in his expression made my stomach tighten. He did not look surprised by what had happened.“That meeting was not supposed to happen yet,” I said. “We were supposed to determine when Lyra was introduced to them.”

RaguelAfter Lyra left, I spent the next several hours following the financial trail instead of trying to explain it away.The records Lyra had found were already troubling enough, but the more I examined them, the clearer it became that they were connected to something much larger than a few secret investigations.Money had been moving through palace accounts without proper authorization, passing through departments that should never have been involved in matters concerning Lyra or her supporters. Some transactions had been disguised as ordinary expenses, while others had been buried beneath layers of administrative approvals.Someone had been using my palace resources without my permission.I stood over the documents in my study, comparing dates and names while Emily waited across from me.“Have you found anything else?” I asked.“Yes.” She placed another file on the desk. “These payments were approved through the council's administrative office, but the authorization codes belong t

LyraI returned to the palace with everything I had learned still turning over in my mind, but I said nothing about the mysterious figure.I wasn't ready to explain that part to Raguel, especially when I still didn't know whether the figure was trying to help me or manipulate me. There were already too many unanswered questions between us, and I didn't want to add another one until I understood what I was dealing with. The more I thought about the warnings I had received, the more complicated everything seemed.Instead, I went straight to Raguel.I found him in his study, seated behind his large desk with several documents spread across the desk. He looked up when I entered, and the moment he saw me, he stopped what he was doing. His expression changed almost immediately, his attention shifting completely away from the documents in front of him."Lyra, where the hell have you been?"I closed the door behind me and turned to face him. I could hear the irritation in his voice, but I was
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
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING FOUR: Did You Imagine Me Bending You Over?
LYRAThe color completely drained from Aaron's face. His palms tightened into fists, and his Adam's apple bubbled up and down. His lips thinned into furious lines, and I expected him to wake up and put an end to this. I expected him to call the deal off, drag me protectively to his side, and annou

LYRATwo hours ago, I was full of hope and excitement about how the night would play out, but now, my body was as heavy as lead, and my thoughts were in disarray. For the rest of the drive, Aaron had coached me about what to do and what not to do. He told me to do whatever Raguel requested of me
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING TWO: My Husband Traded Me To His Business Partner
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
