The Lycan King's Auction Prize Chapter Seventeen
Corvin swallowed hard, the sharp tip of the blade leaving a tiny red bead of blood on his throat and repeated, "Wren?"Mmm..." I said, nodding my head as I adjust myself to listen. Corvin forced himself to continue. "Lady Wren is pulling the strings of this alliance to finally bring our people peace.""Wait, wait, wait...Peace?" I let out a sharp, mocking laugh, keeping my eyes locked on his. "Wren is bringing your people a slaughter, and nothing more! Do you really think a Thorneclaw would care about the human chiefdoms?Just look at your arm, Corvin. You were attacked tonight, right here, inside the Keep, and what did Wren do? Tell me, did she hunt down the 'savage' who did it? No! Rather she used it to hold on even tighter to her power, gaining upper hand."I leaned in closer, letting the cold fury in my eyes pin him right where he stood. "I saw her, Corvin. She has your identity tokens—and mine. She's setting something up. The moment you put your signature to that parchment to
The Lycan King's Auction Prize Chapter Sixteen
The gravity of what we were about to do settled into the marrow of my bones. I knew Wren would come for us, but that wasn't what kept me up at night. We were defying her; we were literally burning down an alliance that had been the law of the land since before any of us were born.If we failed, by morning would bring our own executions. And If we succeeded, we would be running for our lives anyway.But I looked into Ronan’s golden eyes, and the fear he had evaporated, now replaced by a cold, sharp focus."The diplomat’s quarters are at the apex of the southern wing," he whispered, stepping toward the heavy oak paneling that masked the entrance to the servant tunnels. These narrow stone corridors were built into the very bones of Vael Keep, designed to keep the human staff invisible. Tonight, they were our only salvation. "Aldric assigned three Thorneclaw guards to guard Corvin’s door—supposedly for his 'protection', but the message is very clear, to ensure he doesn't go anywhere

The moment the door clicked shut, Ronan turned to me, gripping his hands on my shoulders. His eyes were widely open, they were dark with an agonizing mix of fury and fear."Why did you agree to that?" He asked, he whispered harshly. "We could have captured her, and I will just end everything here.""And then what, Ronan?" I asked, as I couldn't hold myself any longer, a tear finally dropped from my eye. "Aldric would have slaughtered you. The Thorneclaws would have destroyed everything. You know she has my tokens, so she knows what we are to each other."Ronan pulled me closer to his chest, burying his face in my hair. He held me so tightly that I could barely breathe, his heart beating in perfect sync with mine."I don't care about the pack laws, Devlin. All I care about is you. The moment I smelled that human's blood in the hallway, I thought" he paused and breathed out, "I thought I had lost you."I smiled and whispered, "You didn't lose me," I then held tight his leather armor,

Before I could even open my mouth to reply, the heavy iron deadbolt on the door was rattled violently. Obviously someone was trying to get in with force.Wren stood like a rock. She silently disappeared into the dark with an unnatural speed of a wolf.The crossbow raised once more, hidden from the direct line of sight but perfectly aimed at my chest again. "Open the door" I heard from the dark. "And better choose your words carefully."I swallowed the lump in my throat, turned, and unlocked the heavy door.It was Ronan. He practically pushed the door open, coming in, he slammed the door so hard. He was so much in panic, his jaw was locked, his chest heaving as if he had run across the entire fortress. On his leather collar, there was a little stain of someone else's blood. "Devlin," he breathed, his hands instantly coming up to cup my face, desperately looking at me, as if he sensed something was wrong, to ensure I'm safe. "Tell me, are you alright? From the corridor, all

He didn't need to be told twice. With his heart hammering against his ribs, Corvin gripped his mangled arm and ran for his life, his boots slapping frantically against the floor of the service hallway.I could hear the sound of his heavy boots against the cold stone until the it faded into the distance.With the panic gone, reality crashed back in. The heat in my veins was suddenly replaced with a cold chill and I just stood there shivering. I took a deep breath and wiped the hairpin clean against the stone wall in one fluid motion, then tucked it back into my hair, burying the evidence of what I’d just done.I needed to get back to Ronan's quarters; I needed to lock the door, just as he said I should.Keeping my head down, I hurried down, sidestepping the main pathways where anyone could spot me, I didn't let myself stop until I had safely arrived at the heavy oak door of Ronan’s private chambers. I slipped inside, closing the door behind me, and immediately threw the iron deadbol

"The dance is over," Ronan whispered, but the warmth in his eyes instantly left and replaced with a dead serious look. His eyes scanning toward the side exits. "Aldric is moving. You need to vanish, now." "Corvin is shaken up and confused," i said as my heart was pounding against my ribs. "He’s going to do something reckless." "Let him," Ronan said. His hand lingered on mine for a heartbeat showing he care, before he pushed me hard toward the service corridor. "Go back to the quarters. Lock the door. I will handle the mess. Whatever comes next will be settled, just be safe for me." I didn't argue. I simply blended into the crowd of servants the moment Aldric stepped down from the dais, his deep, roaring voice echoing over the fading music. I slipped through the heavy door, the chill of the dim stone hallways hitting me the moment I reached the servant's quarters. The silence here was heavy, completely different compared to the roar and loud noise of the Great Hall.

I spotted Ronan near by the dais. He looked dangerous in black velvet, his eyes constantly scanning the crowd and his jaw locked tight. Looked like a coiled spring just waiting to snap. When his eyes swept over my direction, I stepped behind a massive stone pillar, my heart racing. I didn't sta
The Lycan King's Auction Prize Chapter Nine: The architect of Shadows
The guard led the way through a cramped back hallway hidden right inside the Keep’s walls. The air was stale, smelling of damp earth and old rusty iron. The guard led me into a tiny, poorly lit room that looked like a makeshift archive. The place was crammed to the ceiling with shelves full of ol
The Lycan King's Auction Prize Chapter Seven: The Weight of the Crown
The air in the room felt thick, there was intense, unspoken tension that made the fine hairs on my arms stand up. I looked at Ronan—really looked at him—and saw the cracks in his amor. Though he was a king, who seem strong and unbreakable; he was still a man holding back an avalanche. "Why?" I a
The Lycan King's Auction Prize Chapter Six: The Shadow of the Keep
Our carriage ride to Veal Keep was dark, fast and exhausting. The atmosphere was filled with dread and tension. Despite the long distance of this journey, the king said no words. He was so wrapped in a heavy, moody silence. As if the tensed ride wasn't enough, the moment we casted our eyes on Vea
