TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 78
LyraWhen I regained consciousness, there was a dull ache at the back of my head and a stiffness in my neck. I tried to lift my hands to rub at the spot, but they were tied securely to a chair, the friction of the ropes burning my wrists.My eyes flew open and I blinked.The room was unfamiliar—bare concrete walls, a single light hanging from the ceiling, and a narrow window too high for me to reach.My eyes caught the figure of someone across the room and my breath hitched.Aaron.For a brief second, relief flickered across his face.“You’re awake.”I stared at him.The man before me looked nothing like the husband I’d once known.His shirt was wrinkled, his hair unkempt, and there were dark circles beneath his eyes. He looked exhausted.And convinced he was doing the right thing.“Lyra.” He smiled maniacally. “I was worried you’d been unconscious too long.”“What have you done?”“I brought you somewhere safe.”I almost laughed at the irony.“You have me tied me to a chair, Aaron. Ho
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 77:
LyraIn all honesty, I had prepared my mind for boredom.Attending fashion shows with Aaron meant that I had to endure hours of watching serious-faced models wearing outfits that looked like they belonged in museums rather than on people.I had even gone as far as writing a small list of polite compliments to pass around.How... artistic. That’s certainly unique. I admire the confidence it must take to wear that.The ballroom was breathtaking. Instead of endless rows of chairs facing the runway, elegant round tables surrounded the stage, each draped in ivory linen and decorated with fresh flowers. Crystal chandeliers hung overhead and soft music drifted through the room.It was a strictly ladies-only affair, packed to the walls with the wives, daughters, and high-ranking matriarchs of the twelve regional packs.Conversation flowed easily and laughter echoed across the room.The atmosphere felt... relaxed.The music changed and the screen before us indicated that it was time for the mo
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 76: Co-Partners
LyraMiguel recovered from the shock quickly and he crossed the distance between us in two quick strides. He gently took hold of my wrist, and guided me farther inside before carefully pushing the door shut.“Don’t say anything.” Miguel’s voice dropped to little more than a whisper. “The guards patrol this side of the grounds every fifteen minutes,” he murmured. “If they hear voices, they’ll come in to investigate.”I blinked at him. “You sound very experienced.”He smiled sheepishly. “I’ve had quite a bit of practice.”He slowly let go off my hand, letting out a long, ragged breath.I took my time to look around the building.The dozens of candles filled the small stone chamber with a soft golden glow that danced across old portraits and polished marble. There were two carved memorial stones standing side by side. Fresh white flowers rested before them and the air carried the faint scent of incense.“What are you doing here?” I whispered, my voice shaking.“I know what my brother sai
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 75: Miguel Again
Lyra Servants drifted through the corridors carrying fresh flowers and groceries, maids spoke quietly as they walked past, and somewhere in the distance, I could hear the clanging of swords from the training grounds where Raguel insisted I would soon begin embarrassing myself. His words, not mine. “You’ll embarrass yourself for a week,” he’d said with that infuriating confidence of his. “Then you’ll improve.” “What if I don’t?” “Then you’ll embarrass yourself for two weeks.” I had threatened not to attend but he’d simply smiled and told me he’d see me later. I smiled to myself at the memory as I looked over the book I’d been pretending to read for the last twenty minutes. The key word being pretending because my thoughts kept wandering back to Aaron and all that happened yesterday. A knock interrupted my thoughts. “My queen?” “Come in.” A maid, Nora, stepped inside with an amused smile. “Luna Habeela is here to see you.” The book snapped shut. “Really?” “Yes. She insist
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 74: I'll Kill You
RaguelFor some reason, I let Aaron choose the meeting place.There was no point inviting him into my territory when I wanted him so relaxed he’d spill the beans on his own.The café sat on the outskirts of the city, overlooking a quiet lake that reflected the gray afternoon sky. It wasn’t crowded, but it wasn’t empty either. Enough people lingered over coffee and newspapers that neither of us would be tempted to make a scene.Emily had protested when she came back with Aaron’s response.“It could be a trap.”“I wouldn’t know until I get there,” I’d replied her.Aaron was already seated when I arrived. He looked different from the man who had stormed my gates. This time, he was freshly shaved, his clothes were expensive enough to suggest someone had recently taken an interest in financing his appearance.His eyes, however, remained the same—restless, sleep-deprived and wild.He watched me cross the room without standing.I took the seat opposite him.For several seconds, neither of us
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 73: Set Up a Meeting With Him
RaguelFor all the stories people told about Alphas and Lycan rulers, nobody ever mentioned that half the job involved a ton of paperwork.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temple before reaching for the next report.Tax disputes, border patrol rotations, a request to expand a village clinic, a complaint from two neighboring packs arguing over grazing rights.Despite all of the work, it was strangely comforting and predictable.Unlike everything else my life had become.A knock sounded against the study door.“Come in.”My beta and close friend, Emily, stepped inside carrying a black folder beneath one arm. Her head was bandaged where her scalp had split during the rogue attack.Her expression immediately told me this wasn’t another budget proposal.“We have a problem, Raguel.”I closed the file in front of me. “When don’t we?”She managed a faint smile. “This one’s new.”She crossed the room and placed the folder on my desk. “We have a situation with Aaron.”The name alone was en

LyraThe mayor held my gaze for several long seconds, long enough to make me uneasy. I clamped my jaw shut, forcing my gaze to lock onto his cold grey eyes.“What happened to them?” My voice came out steady despite the unease I was feeling. “The other ladies associated with Raguel.”The mayor took
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 35: Political Games
LyraThe mayor’s charming smile did nothing to erase the predatory gleam in his eyes. He brought his hands out from behind his back to smooth the front of his tailored suit.“Our future queen,” He said, tilting his head slightly. “I was hoping to have a word with you.”I glanced toward the ballroom
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 33: The Answer To His Insolence
RaguelThe mention of my mate by a man like Omar Romano was like a match dropped into a pool of gasoline. My wolf, already pacing the confines of my ribs from the Council’s insolence, surged toward the surface. I felt the skin across my knuckles pull tight, the heat of the Lycan blood simmering jus
TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING 32: She's The Prophesied Queen
RaguelThe silence in the room was deafening, the tension so thick that a sharp knife wouldn’t cut through it once.Finally, Heath cleared his throat. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, his fingers tightening against the edge of the table.“That’s impossible,” Heath said, looking confused. He l
