The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Twenty-four : Lie
Emerald POVHe stares at me.His golden eyes burn into mine. I cannot look away. I cannot breathe. I cannot think."Tell me," he says again. "What is happening to you?"I open my mouth. Close it. Open it again."Nothing," I say."You are lying.""I am not.""Then why are you shaking?"I look down at my hands. They are trembling. I press them against my sides to make them stop."I am cold," I say."It is summer.""I am still cold."His jaw tightens. "Emerald.""What?""Look at me."I raise my head.He steps closer. His body blocks the light. All I can see is him. All I can smell is him. Smoke. Leather. Something dark and warm."You are different," he says. "You have been different for weeks. You eat more. You sleep more. Your skin glows. Your body is changing."I say nothing."Tell me why.""I do not know what you are talking about.""Emerald.""Cassius." I match his tone. "I do not know."He stares at me.For a long moment, he says nothing.Then he reaches out.His hand touches my fac
The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Twenty-Three: Confrontation
Cassius POVI find her in the hallway.She is walking back from the garden. Her cloak is wrapped tight around her. Her head is down. She does not see me until it is too late.I step in front of her.She stops. Her eyes widen. Her hands grip the cloak tighter."C Cassius.""Emerald."She tries to step around me. I block her path."We need to talk.""About what?""You know what.""I do not.""Then why are you running?"She looks away. Her jaw tightens."I am not running.""You are. You have been running for weeks. Every time I try to get close, you pull away.""I am not pulling away.""You are hiding something.""I am not.""You are lying."She looks up at me. Her green eyes are hard. But I see something else there. Fear."Leave me alone," she says."No.""Cassius– ""No. Not until you tell me the truth."I step closer. She steps back.Her back hits the wall.I stop in front of her. Close enough to see the fear in her eyes. Close enough to smell her scent. Soap. Honey. . warm."Somethin
The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Twenty-Two: Baby Bump
Emerald POVI wake up and something is wrong.I feel it before I see it. A heaviness. A roundness. My body is different.I push back the blanket. Lift my shift.My stomach is not flat anymore.There is a curve there. Small. Subtle. But undeniable.My baby bump.I stare at it. My hand presses against the swell. It is real. It is there. I cannot hide it anymore.Panic floods through me."No, no, no..."I jump out of bed. Run to the mirror. Turn sideways.The bump is visible. Not huge. Not obvious. But to anyone who looks closely, it is there.I grab a loose dress from the wardrobe. Pull it over my head. The fabric hangs differently now. It does not hide everything.I need something bigger. Something flowy. Something that will make people look away.I find an old cloak in the back of the wardrobe. Thick. Dark. I wrap it around myself. The fabric hangs past my waist.Better.But not good enough.Rina knocks on the door."Breakfast," she says.I open the door. She looks at me. Her eyes sca
The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Twenty-one: Watching her
Cassius POVI watch her from the shadows.It has become a habit. A sickness. I cannot stop myself.She does not know I am here. She is in the garden, sitting by the fountain. Her hand rests on her stomach. Her eyes are closed. The sun warms her face.She looks peaceful.She looks beautiful.I should not be here. I should be in my study. I should be reviewing troop reports. I should be doing anything but standing here like a fool.But I cannot leave.Something is different about her.I have noticed it for weeks now. The way she eats more. The way she sleeps more. The way her skin glows like she is lit from within.She is changing.And I do not know why.Massimus finds me in the garden."You are watching her again," he says."I am not watching her.""You are. You have been standing here for an hour."I turn from the window. "I was thinking.""About her.""About the kingdom.""You were thinking about her."I do not answer.Massimus walks to the window. Looks out at the garden. Emerald is
The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Twenty: Hidden Library
Emerald POVI cannot sleep.The room is too quiet. The walls are too close. My mind will not stop spinning.So I get up.Rina is asleep in the chair by the door. She does not wake when I move. I am careful. Quiet. I slip out of the room like a shadow.The hallway is empty. The torches burn low. The castle is asleep.I walk.I do not know where I am going. My feet just carry me. Down corridors. Past doors. Through rooms I have never seen before.The castle is different at night. Quieter. Older. The walls seem to breathe.I find myself in a part of the castle I have never been to before. The hallway is narrower here. Dust covers the floor. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling.No one comes here.I should turn back.I do not.I walk to the end of the hallway. There is a door there. Old. Wooden. Rusted hinges.I push it open.The room is dark. Cold. The air smells like dust and old paper.I find a candle on a shelf. Light it with a match from my pocket. The flame flickers. Shadows dance on the w

I should be doing anything but standing here like a lovesick fool.But I cannot look away.She stops by the fountain. Tilts her head back. Closes her eyes. The sun warms her face.She looks peaceful.Happy.I want to walk to her. I want to take her hand. I want to tell her that I am sorry for pulling away. That I am scared. That I do not know what I am doing.But I do not move.I just watch.A guard walks toward her.I recognize him. Young. Tall. Dark hair. He has been assigned to the garden patrol for three months. His name is something. Erik. Eric. Something with an E.He stops in front of Emerald. Says something. She laughs.She laughs.At so
The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter Eight-War Meeting

The Alpha Heiress they Auctioned Chapter five-His Wrymling
The hallway is quiet.Too quiet.I walk slowly, one hand against the wall. My reflection stares back at me from the polished stone floors. Pale and dark circles under my eyes. Hair tangled.I look like a ghost.But I am alive.That is more than anyone expected.The main hall is empty when I reach i
