Raguel

The silence on the drive back to the packhouse was almost suffocating. Lyra didn’t look at me once during the drive. She stared out the side window, the streetlights painting streaks of gold across her face as they passed, her hands folded tightly in her lap. I kept my gaze fixed on the road, my fingers white-knuckled on the steering wheel. Every time I honked, she flinched.

Not enough to be obvious, but enough that I noticed because I noticed everything about her.

    RaguelThe silence on the drive back to the packhouse was almost suffocating. Lyra didn’t look at me once during the drive. She stared out the side window, the streetlights painting streaks of gold across her face as they passed, her hands folded tightly in her lap. I kept my gaze fixed on the road, my fingers white-knuckled on the steering wheel. Every time I honked, she flinched.Not enough to be obvious, but enough that I noticed because I noticed everything about her.When we finally pulled into the estate, she didn’t wait for me to open her door. As soon as I killed the engine, she bolted out frantically. I followed at a distance, careful not to spook her. Inside the room, she didn’t speak either. She didn’t even acknowledge I was there. She walked straight into the bathroom and clicked the lock shut.I took a seat on the edge of her bed, studying the room. On the nightstand, there was a framed photo of her in a burgundy gown, smiling like she’d just been handed the world. It had

  • TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING   79: The Villain

    VillianThe room was quiet except for the occasional crackle of the fire.A man stood before the fire with his hands clasped behind his back, his face hidden beneath the shadow of a hood. He watched the dancing flames without blinking.For a long while, he said nothing and then, a quiet chuckle escaped him."It worked."Another figure lingered at the other end of the room. "You sound pleased."The hooded man smiled to himself. "I am.""Everything unfolded exactly as it needed to."The second figure stepped closer."Omar failed. But I always knew there was a chance he would. He was too reckless, loud and emotional." The hooded man shook his head and continued, "He believed rage alone could defeat Raguel."The second figure folded their arms. "You invested years into him and he ended up getting himself killed by Raguel without achieving anything.""He was such a fool." The hooded man scoffed. "Omar wanted revenge, power and he wanted everything immediately." He turned slightly toward hi

    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   49: Are You Still With Me, Lyra?

    LyraI drifted in and out of consciousness, reality snapping back as I felt the lingering throbs of orgasm. My body felt heavy, the sheets damp with sweat.Raguel’s chest rose and fell against me, his hand gently stroking my hair. He looked down, a wicked smirk playing on his lips.“Are you still w

  • TRADED TO THE LYCAN KING   48: Are You Okay, Lyra?

    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   38: Who's Charlotte?

    LyraI couldn’t stop thinking about Omar and his offer, which was quite annoying because I didn’t even know if I believed him.The next morning, I sat beside Raguel during another summit event and found myself studying him instead of listening to the speaker.The speaker was discussing agricultural

    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
