SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING The Name They Removed
Ariana's POVI read the note again.Then a third time.The words didn't change.We remember the real princess.I folded the paper carefully and slipped it into my pocket."Why would they write this?" I asked.No one answered.Kael was looking beyond the prison corridor, his mind already working through something."What are you thinking?" I asked.He didn't answer immediately."They could have killed you."I frowned."They've tried.""No."He shook his head."I mean today."He pointed towards the note."If they reached your room, they reached you."The truth settled over us.Whoever had searched my room had been close enough to end my life.Instead...They left a message."They wanted her frightened," Rowan said."They wanted something else," Kael replied.He turned to the captain."Show us her chambers."---The walk through the castle felt different now.Every servant I passed made me wonder if they had seen something.Every guard made me ask the same question.Can I trust you?I hat
SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING The Locked Door
Ariana's POVThe maid turned and ran before anyone could ask another question.Kael was already following her.The rest of us hurried after him.Our footsteps echoed along the stone passage as servants pressed themselves against the walls to let us pass. A basket of clean clothes lay where someone had dropped it. Water spread across the floor from an overturned bucket, making the stones slippery.Something had frightened everyone.The west tower was usually quiet.Today it wasn't.By the time we reached the prison corridor, half a dozen guards were standing outside one cell.None of them looked at ease.Kael walked straight through them."Who opened the door?""No one, Your Majesty.""Then why are you standing out here?"The oldest guard pointed at the lock."It was still locked when we arrived."Kael frowned."Open it."The guard held up a ring of keys."I already did."He pushed the door.It swung inward with a slow creak.The prisoner sat against the far wall.His head rested on on
SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING The Enemy
Ariana's POVEamon's hand slipped from mine.I didn't let go.The dirt beneath my knees was cold, but I stayed where I was. The little wooden wolf rested beside him. I picked it up and brushed away the dust with my thumb."You made a promise," I whispered. "You kept it."The words caught in my throat."I'll keep mine."Kael took off his dark cloak and spread it gently over Eamon. He didn't say anything. He simply bowed his head for a moment before standing again.It was a quiet sign of respect.The guards around us copied him.Nobody had ordered them to.Lyra wiped her eyes before anyone noticed."He deserved to go home," she said softly."He spent twenty years carrying someone else's hope."Elias looked at the road stretching into the forest."He knew this day might be his last.""And he still came," I replied."Yes.""He chose to."A gust of wind rolled through the trees.Somewhere in the branches, a raven took flight.Rowan returned from the edge of the forest, breathing harder tha
SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING Silenced
Ariana's POVThe little wooden wolf lay on the ground between us.One of its ears was chipped.I remembered holding it.I remembered laughing.And I remembered a woman kneeling in front of me, brushing dust from my dress before kissing my forehead.The memory disappeared before I could see her face again."No..."My voice was barely louder than a whisper.The old man smiled as though seeing that memory had been worth the long journey."I knew..." he said quietly. "I knew you would remember."I wanted to ask him a hundred questions.Who was my mother?Who saved me?Why was I left behind?Instead, I found myself asking the only thing that mattered."What's your name?"His smile grew a little."So you can remember me?"I nodded."Eamon."He looked past me for a moment, towards the castle walls."I carried your mother's last request for twenty years."His fingers brushed the folded cloth that had wrapped the toy."I promised her I'd place this back in your hands.""You kept it all this ti
SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING My Choice
Ariana's POVThe first thing I noticed was the children.Two little boys ran across the courtyard, crying for their mother. A servant caught them before they reached the broken gate and pulled them into the castle.Around them, people hurried in every direction.Some carried buckets of water.Others helped the wounded.Nobody waited to be told what to do.Everyone knew this day would decide the future of Shadowcrest.I stood at the top of the stone steps and watched them.A few days ago, these people had looked at me like I didn't belong here.Now they were risking their lives because of me.The thought sat heavily in my chest.Kael walked down the steps, speaking to the guards as he passed."Move the injured to the kitchens. It's warmer there."One of the guards nodded and hurried away.Another stopped him."My King."Kael turned."The bridge is full of soldiers.""How many?"The guard looked towards the open gate."I stopped counting."Kael rested a hand on the man's shoulder."You'
SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING I will stand by you
Ariana's POVThe voice outside faded, but the fear it left behind stayed with me.No one in the underground hall spoke first.Rowan walked to the stone steps and listened for a moment."They're not attacking," he said as he came back. "They're waiting."Kael looked at the young guard."How many?""At least two hundred, Your Majesty.""And the hunters?""They're gone."Rowan let out a slow breath."So one enemy leaves, and another arrives."Kael turned to Elias."What do you know about the Moon Council?"Elias rested both hands on his staff."They once protected the Moonborn family.""And now?""They believe power is safer in their hands than in yours."I frowned."They don't even know me.""They know your blood.""That's not the same thing.""No," Elias agreed. "It isn't."I looked at the old painting again.The little girl still smiled as if nothing bad had ever happened.It was hard to believe that child was me.I had spent years trying to survive.Now strangers were calling me a pr
