Sold to the Rogue Sovereign
“Tell me, Thalia, does it hurt to be cast aside, thrown to the wolves?” I laughed harshly, “Is this what it feels like? To be nothing? To be forgotten?”
“Ronan… please…” Her voice was so soft, so broken that it almost made me feel sympathy for her, but in an instant, I crushed that emotion. I couldn’t allow her tears to sway me.
“Don’t you dare cry,” I spat. “Save your pathetic, fake tears. They mean nothing to me now, just like you should have meant nothing to me then.”
Thalia Sinclair was once a respected Luna, but her life fell apart when her mate rejected her and sold her to the cruel Rogue Sovereign. Forced to toughen up, she learned to survive alone, with no one to trust.
Ronan Kane has waited for the moment to make Thalia pay for the hurt she caused him. But when their paths cross again, anger and pain mix with something neither of them can deny.
Can they overcome their broken pasts, or will their scars keep them apart forever?
Betrayal cuts deep. Vengeance burns hotter. Love is the deadliest weapon of all.

Chapter: CHAPTER 34Ronan's POVI clenched my jaw, forcing my expression to remain impassive as I watched Thalia crumble before me. Every tear that rolled down her cheek, every tremor that wracked her body, should have satisfied me. This was what I wanted, wasn’t it? To see her broken? To see her suffer the way I had suffered?Then why did my heart ache?I shoved the feeling away, burying it beneath years of rage and betrayal. Thalia had chosen this path. She had left me for Caden. She had destroyed everything we could have been. She deserved this. She deserved every bit of disgrace and punishment I was about to mete out on her. The Moon Goddess thought she could play games with me?That she could string me along like some pathetic puppet?That reviving my wolf depended on me forgiving Thalia? That I had to fall in love with her again to restore Fenris?Fuck that.I would defy her. I would defy fate itself. Fenris was gone. I had accepted that. My bond with my wolf had withered away the moment

Chapter: CHAPTER 33Thalia's POVI swallowed hard, my throat dry as sandpaper. My hands trembled at my sides, nails digging into my palms, but I couldn't feel anything beyond the suffocating weight of his stare.I felt like cornered prey, quaking in fear as the predator prowled around me, playing with its meal before finally pouncing.It was a horrible feeling."That you were a maid, huh?" Ronan’s voice dripped with mockery and hurt."Damn." I clenched my eyes shut in fear, my heart stinging at the pain in his voice.I had hoped—prayed—that he wouldn't bring this up, but it seemed my luck had already run out. It wasn’t like I wanted to lie to Hebathi. I just… I did what I had to do to survive.Now, standing under his cold, piercing gaze, I realized how flimsy that lie truly was.It was bad enough that I had been the catalyst that shattered his life. But now, he knew I had also lied about our past relationship. My odds of survival weren’t looking too good at the moment.I sighed, forcing myself to look

Chapter: CHAPTER 32Thalia's POVWe barged into the throne room, and almost instantly, the memory of that day hit me like a wave.The cold, unforgiving floor beneath my feet, the weight of silver shackles biting into my wrists. The burning hatred in his voice – Get her out of my sight.I swallowed hard, my throat tightening as my gaze drifted toward the throne.And there he was.Ronan stood tall, his presence commanding even in stillness. He was speaking to Aedric, his expression unreadable, his focus entirely elsewhere. Yet my eyes couldn’t leave him.His long black hair was messier than usual, wild strands falling over his forehead. Blood marred his armor, streaks of crimson standing stark against the dark metal.His red eyes, the ones I used to get lost in, were cold. Empty.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as a sudden, crushing wave of emotions threatened to consume me.My hand clamped around my mouth, my teeth biting on the flesh in a bid to force myself not to break down right t

Chapter: CHAPTER 31Thalia's POVI seemed to have lost the ability to breathe when I heard that statement.Ronan had… returned?My mind struggled to grasp the words, to piece them together into something that made sense.I wasn't ready yet… No, I wasn't ready to face him. Not like this.Everything inside me twisted into a tangled knot of longing and fear.For the past week that I had been here, I had wrestled with the ache of missing him, the guilt of what I had done, and the desperate yearning to see him just one more time. And yet, buried beneath all of that, I knew the truth.I was terrified to face him.I remembered clearly the reception I received when I arrived here. The look of pure hatred in his cold red eyes, the way he screamed, threatening me with all the malice he could muster.As much as this was my fault, it still stung like a knife piercing my heart.However, the order he gave to get me out of the dungeon rang through my mind, and doubt crept in.Would he look at me with the same warmth as

Chapter: CHAPTER 30 Thalia's POV"He wasn’t like the higher-ranked wolves who barely acknowledged us. Most warriors carried themselves with an air of entitlement, like we were nothing more than background noise, but Ronan..." I smiled faintly, letting the words flow. "He noticed people. Even the ones like me—just a maid, cleaning the halls, setting the tables. He always paid attention."I could still remember the way he used to look at me, the warmth in his eyes. The way the bond between us had filled me with such joy and satisfaction.It was… everything.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay on track."He was thoughtful in a quiet way. If someone was limping from an injury, he’d be the first to notice and make sure they got treated. If someone was struggling with extra chores, he’d find a way to ease their workload without making a show of it."The memories blurred in my mind, mixing the truth with my fabricated narrative. The way he had once wrapped his cloak around me when I shivered from the col

Chapter: CHAPTER 29Thalia's POV I swallowed hard, my grip tightening around the fork as Hebathi’s question hung in the air. What was Ronan like? The memories swirled inside me, some vivid, others hazy, but before I could grasp onto any of them, Hebathi’s voice dragged me from the haze. “Well?” she prompted. I blinked, realizing I had been silent for too long. Heat rushed to my cheeks. “S-Sorry,” I murmured, lowering my gaze. “I… I got lost in memory lane.” A smirk tugged at the corner of Hebathi’s lips. “It happens.” She leaned back slightly, her fingers tapping idly against the table. “But I’d still like to know,” she continued, her voice softer this time. “What was he like before all of this?” Her gaze drifted toward the window, her expression unreadable. But there was something… distant in her eyes. Lonely, almost. I hesitated. Did she really want to know? Or was she just looking for something—anything—that might explain the man Ronan had become? I inhaled deeply, gathering my though
