All Chapters of Bought The Alpha Prince For 30 Silver Coins : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ARABELLA POV Nine times, I had reached into the Moonbond box. Nine times, I had drawn a blank token.In three days, I would draw again—and if the Moon rejected me a tenth time, I would remain unmated forever. Perhaps, that's why tonight, I was riding Adrian in my bedroom-my hips rolling in a rhythm I’d perfected over nine years of practice-just as he liked it. Adrian’s hands gripped my waist-firm, possessive, but mechanical. Like a dancer who knew the steps by heart but had forgotten the music.I arched my back, letting my head fall forward so my hair cascaded around us like a curtain. His breath hitched, and I clung to that sound like a lifeline. There. He’s still here. He’s still with me.But his eyes-those storm-gray eyes I’d loved since I was eighteen years old-were fixed somewhere over my shoulder. At the ceiling. At the window. Anywhere but me."Adrian,” I breathed, slowing my pace. “Adrian, look at me.”He did. For a moment, the mask slipped, and I saw something flicker there

ARABELLA POV I hurried back to the Blue Moon Pack with nervous excitement fluttering inside my chest. For the first time in my life, I believed I had something valuable to offer Adrian. I was Arabella Cross—the surviving daughter of the Cross family, heiress to one of the strongest wolf packs in the region. I had blood, status, and a family powerful enough to stand beside the royal Lycans. Perhaps Austin would finally no longer hold back from marrying me. I imagined telling him everything. I imagined the surprise on his face when he discovered that I was not an orphan with no future. Perhaps he would realize that I was worthy of becoming his Luna after all. The thought made my heart beat faster. Nine years back, a group of rogues had infiltrated the Blue Moon Pack, slipping past the outer patrols and attacking anyone in their path. Adrian had been cornered near the southern border. By the time I found him, blood covered his clothes, and one of the rogues was about to tear out

KAEL POV I watched her leave, the door clicking shut and her footsteps fading down the hallway. For a long moment, I stood perfectly still. Confusion was not an emotion I experienced often. Yet tonight, it settled heavily inside my chest. I frowned. Where were the chains? The orders? The smug demands to kneel and be grateful? I had expected one of those things. Perhaps all of them. Over the years, i had learned exactly what people did when they believed someone was beneath them. They treated them as objects. Tools. Toys. Something to entertain themselves with until they grew bored. But this little woman walked into that hellhole of an auction hall with her head high while an entire room laughed at her. She had spent what appeared to be her last coins on a stranger everyone else considered worthless. Then she had brought me into her home, given me clothes, food, medicine, and a room of my own. And then she told me I was free to leave. As if freedom were something a perso

ARABELLA POV The moment Lora finished, my heart started racing. The Obsidian. Someone had seen me there. Worse, they had see me leave the auction house with the strange man and brought him into my home. My stomach tightened. Of course they knew. Nothing ever remained private in the Blue Moon Pack, especially when it involved me. I could already imagine the accusations. The Vale family cared deeply about appearances. Now they would use my visit to the Obsidian as another excuse to shame me. I looked across the dining room at Kael. He sat in silence, his unusual black skin making him impossible to ignore. He had finished his breakfast, though his expression suggested he had found it barely tolerable. “I’ll go,” I finally said. Lora looked smug. “But Kael is coming with me.” I added. Her expression fell. “That is not acceptable! The main pack house is not a shelter for—” Kael stood. The chair scraped harshly against the floor. Lora’s face became pale, and the rest

ARABELLA POV Adrian was the first to recover from the shock and he growled furiously. "You are refusing me?”I met his eyes.“For the first time,” I said quietly, “yes.”His expression changed. Something flashed across his face. Anger. Disbelief. And then something else… Something I couldn’t immediately identify.His gaze moved toward Kael.Then back to me.He stared at the space between us as though he had only just realized that I was standing beside another man.My adoptive father’s expression became thunderous. “Arabella, you will not speak to Adrian in that manner.”“I am speaking respectfully.”“You are challenging him in front of everyone. Have you forgotten he is the Alpha prince of this pack?" “Perhaps he should not have tried to command me in front of everyone.”My answer stunned them.I could see it in their faces.This was not the Arabella they knew. The obedient orphan who had spent years trying to earn the Vale family’s approval would have apologized by now. She would
