Sold To The Ruthless Alpha Prince のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Nora’s POVThe sight of those two together burned my eyes, I couldn’t bear to continue looking at them. By the time I shoved through the pack hall doors, I was practically running. Cold night air felt harsh against my skin, but I kept moving down the stone steps, my vision blurred with tears.I hated this. I hated him. I hated that after everything my stepfather had done tonight, Ethan still managed to hurt me worse. I wrapped my arms around myself tightly as I hurried toward the quieter side of the estate.My ribs still ached from the beating earlier. Every breath hurt and my cheek throbbed but none of it compared to the ache sitting in my chest. Two years had gone just like that. Two years of loving him, two years of choosing him, two years I spent envisioning my future with him, it was gone.I let out a shaky laugh. Maybe Selene had been right all along, maybe nobody would ever truly choose me. Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t notice someone approaching from the opposite direction un

Chapter 4 Third person’s POV The entire hall remained in stunned silence long after Prince Rafael uttered the words, “You’re the one I choose.” Noble daughters stood frozen with disbelief and humiliation. Whispering erupted across the hall as powerful Alphas and their mates exchanged stunned looks. Even the warriors stationed near the walls looked unsettled by what they had just witnessed. The future Alpha King of the largest pack in the kingdom had rejected every noblewoman presented before him. For a servant girl. Meanwhile, Nora stood completely still with a silver tray still clutched tightly in her trembling hands as though she could not process what was happening either. But Rafael barely noticed the outrage around him. His countenance was calm as though selecting an omega maid as his future Luna was nothing more than another political choice. His attention remained fixed entirely on her, his mate. Even now, standing across the crowded hall in a plain servant uniform, s

Nora's POV I could barely feel my legs as I followed the royal guard through the endless halls of the palace. I felt so nervous as my head was filled with thoughts of what the Alpha Prince could want from me. My palms were damp beneath the sleeves of my dress, and my heart refused to calm down no matter how many times I told myself to breathe. The Prince had summoned me to his chambers, at night too.My stomach twisted painfully. The entire situation still felt unreal. Just yesterday I had been sleeping in a tiny room inside my stepfather’s house terrified of saying the wrong thing and getting hit for it. Now I was walking through a royal palace as the chosen mate of the future Alpha King.The guard eventually stopped outside a pair of large black doors guarded by two wolves dressed in royal silver uniforms. They both bowed their heads slightly the moment they saw me and I instantly felt awkward again. The guard beside me pushed the doors open carefully. “Her Grace has arrived,” he

Nora's POV The next morning felt strangely unreal.For the first few seconds after waking up, I stared blankly at the silk canopy above my bed in confusion. The mattress beneath me was softer than anything I had ever slept on before and warm sunlight poured through the massive windows of the royal chamber. Then reality slowly came crashing back. I had suddenly been thrown into what felt like a world of fantasy.My stomach tightened immediately at the memory.I sat up too quickly and winced slightly as soreness spread through my body but it wasn't from him.That somehow made everything even more confusing. Rafael hadn’t touched me after seeing the mark on my neck. He hadn’t questioned me either. In fact, after that brief shift in his expression, he had simply gone cold again. He was just completely unreadable.A knock interrupted my thoughts.“My Lady?” Elena’s voice came softly through the door.“You can come in.” I said.The door opened carefully and Elena stepped inside carrying fo

Nora's POV By the following morning, I had already prepared myself mentally for another exhausting day of pretending to belong inside the palace.At this point, I was beginning to think Rafael genuinely enjoyed dragging me into uncomfortable situations. So when he appeared outside my chambers shortly after breakfast dressed entirely in black again and simply said,“Come with me.”I immediately sighed internally. Without waiting for another word, he turned and started to walk away, not even waiting for my response. I stared at his back in disbelief for a second before hurrying after him.Honestly, talking to Rafael sometimes felt like talking to a wall. The palace halls were quieter this morning as we walked side by side through the royal wing. Servants immediately bowed every time Rafael passed and nobles moved out of his path almost instinctively.After several more turns, I slowly realized we weren’t heading toward the main palace at all. The halls became quieter. Instead of grand
