Chapter 11

Jules POVHis eyes were cold, unblinking, as if he were staring through Gunner, seeing not the alpha of the Ravenstone Pack but merely a man unworthy of his time.Gunner, however, didn’t flinch. He met Lucian’s eyes with a calculating smile, seemingly unbothered by the refusal. He was used to having everything at his disposal, used to being in control. His hands were clasped tightly together, his fingers intertwined as he stood lost in thought.“You misunderstand, Lucian,” Gunner said smoothly, his tone laced with mock sympathy. “This is not a matter of buying or selling. This is a business proposition. You get what you want, and I get what I want.”He leaned forward slightly, the gleam in his eyes growing sharper. “Ten thousand talons is a fair price for a slave like him. You know the value of such things. But for you… I’m willing to make it better.”He waved his hand dismissively as he stepped back clearly not expecting Lucian to back down. “Fifty thousand talons,” Gunner said, his

Lucian’s POVHe didn’t understand.Not the room that had gone quiet at my command.Not the weight of my fury, nor the restraint it took not to tear Gunner limb from limb.And certainly not the way his trembling defiance made something inside me fracture dangerously.I should have been satisfied. I’d won. No price, no threat, no king could take him from me. He was mine.But his voiceThat cracked whisper, “I’m not a possession.”It echoed in my skull like a curse I couldn’t silence.And for the first time in years, I felt something other than rage.It wasn’t mercy. It wasn’t pity.It was something darker. Something uncontrollable.Because the bond had snapped into place the moment I saw him.The mate pull—unmistakable. Violent.But it didn’t make sense.He was supposed to be a boy. A slave. Nothing.And yet, everything in me screamed mine.Every breath he took burned in my lungs.Every word out of his mouth made my control slip further.And that scent—gods, that scent—it was driving me

Chapter 13

Jules POVI didn't spare a second for thought as I heard the door bang violently behind me. Before I had time to react, Lucian ran toward me, his eyes red, his claws sharp in the dark. Lucian had a power and intensity I had never before felt, and everything about him felt dangerous.He didn’t stop. He marched forward, locking the door with steady hands, making sure no one could come in—and that I couldn’t get out. His footsteps were slow and strong, his breath uneven, but not from being tired. It came from something darker. Something I couldn’t name, but it filled the space, thick and heavy.Before I moved, his hand grabbed my throat, squeezing tight. He lifted me like I weighed nothing. My fingers clawed at his arm, trying to loosen his hold.“Stop—let me go!” I sobbed, fingers trembling with rage and fear. I pounded his chest with both fists, but his chest felt like a tree. Lucian's eyes shifted, and then his face twisted with a wild expression beyond description.His teeth clenche

Chapter 14

Jules POVI couldn’t stop staring at Lucian. He lay still, pale, lips parted just slightly. Fear coiled in my chest, but something deeper tugged at me—an invisible force drawing me close, even as my instincts urged me to flee.I stepped back, thoughts racing. I needed to breathe. The room felt tight, pressing in from all sides. My fingers fumbled at the doorknob, desperate to get out.It wouldn’t move. I twisted harder. Nothing. Sealed tight. I leaned close, catching the sharp scent of scorched metal. The lock wasn’t normal. He’d done something. I was trapped.My heartbeat roared in my ears. The air felt heavier. I wanted to run, but my limbs wouldn’t obey.Lucian hadn’t moved, but that strange feeling wouldn’t let go. I hovered in place, stuck between logic and something I couldn’t name. Every part of me warned to escape but I didn’t.I studied him—the shape of his face, the way his hair brushed his brow, his quiet breaths. I told myself none of it mattered. But it did. And the pull
