All Chapters of Bought The Alpha Prince For 30 Silver Coins : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CELINE POV The celebration began immediately after the Moonbond ceremony ended. The pack had gathered inside the great hall, where musicians played lively songs and servants carried trays of wine, fruit, and delicately prepared food between the tables. Chandelier hung from the ceiling, bathing the room in a warm glow, while the voices of the pack rose in endless congratulations.I moved through the hall with my head held high. For nine years, the Moonbond Choosing had given me Adrian's name, and today was no different. Young she-wolves whispered enviously about how fortunate I was. Mothers smiled at me with pride. "Celine, congratulations!""You'll make a wonderful Luna.""The Ashford and Vale families will be even stronger once you marry."“Adrian is fortunate to have you.” I smiled graciously at every person who approached me, lowering my eyes modestly whenever someone praised my bond with Adrian. I had already been treated like the future Luna before the ceremony, but now that

ARABELLA POV The next morning, sunlight spilled through the wide glass windows of the café, painting bright patches across the wooden tables and polished floor. I sat near the window with a cup of black coffee between my hands, but I had barely touched it. My attention kept drifting toward the large three floor glass building across the street. That was where Sofia had gone. She had found an audition for a modeling agency there and had insisted that I wait for her at the café instead of following her inside. I had agreed, although I had spent most of the time staring at the entrance and wondering how things were going.Sofia had always dreamed of becoming a model.She was beautiful enough to succeed, but beauty had never been enough in the supernatural world. Connections mattered. Family names mattered. Money mattered. Sofia had none of the advantages that wealthy young women carried with them.She had grown up in the orphanage, just as I had.That was one of the reasons we had be

ARABELLA POV I stood in the center of the hall with my hands clasped tightly in front of me, forcing myself not to react. The same people who had mocked me for being rejected by the Moon were now mocking me because the Moon had finally chosen someone. It seemed that nothing I did would ever satisfy them. One of the elders stepped forward and fixed me with a suspicious stare. "Arabella, we will ask you one more time before the entire pack. How did the name Kael Draven appear on your Moonbond token?” "I have already answered that question, elder. I do not know.” "Did you tamper with the choosing box?” "No.” "Did someone help you manipulate the ceremony?” "No.” Another elder spoke, and his expression was harsher. "A lowborn werewolf such as yourself could not possibly be bonded to the Lycan Prince. I have never met someone as thick-skinned as you refusing to admit the truth!” The words were followed by whispers from the crowd. "What a liar." "She must have tampered with

ARABELLA POV The entire hall remained on its knees.Everyone except me.I stood in front of Kael, unable to move, unable to speak, and unable to understand how the man who had just walked into the hall could possibly be the same person I had bought at the auction.Yet he was.There was no mistaking him.The shape of his eyes was the same. The sharp line of his jaw, the quiet arrogance in his expression, and the deep voice that had once answered me with only a few guarded words were all familiar.But everything else had changed.The unnatural blackness covering his skin was gone. His wounds had disappeared, leaving behind smooth, flawless skin. His hair was dark and perfectly styled, and his body had become even more imposing than I remembered. He no longer wore borrowed clothes that strained across his shoulders. Instead, he was dressed in a black suit trimmed with silver, and every detail of his appearance declared power, wealth, and royalty.How could this be possible?How could th

CELINE POV I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. I could only stare.Kael Draven—the Lycan Prince, the most powerful man in the supernatural world—was carrying that pathetic, worthless nobody out of the ceremony hall as though she was something precious. As though she was something worth protecting. His handsome face was a mask of cold composure, but I saw it. I saw the way his jaw tightened, the way his arms cradled her against his chest with a gentleness that made my blood boil.Worry.He was worried about her. About Arabella. About that sniveling, desperate, slut who had spent her entire life being rejected by everyone who mattered.I felt my nails dig into my palms, my teeth grinding together as I watched him carry Arabella away. She had fainted, of course. The fragile, pathetic little mouse had crumpled under pressure, and now Kael carried her away striding past the stunned crowd, his presence commanding the attention of every single person in the room.
