Auctioned To The Wolf King Fading into the Crowd (2)
The relentless vibration of my phone broke through the pounding music of the club. Even though the noise was deafening, I couldn’t ignore the insistent buzz against my leg. With blurry eyes, I glanced at the screen and saw Duncan’s name flashing in bold. Fiancée. He’d insisted on saving his name like that, never giving me a choice. Duncan owned me. He’d bought me, and until I returned his money, I was his to control. But where would a wolfless Omega like me ever find that kind of cash? A part of me hated the thought of staying with him. Yet another part buried deep down knew I wasn’t ready to let him go. “Looks like the entire world is weighing you down, Omega,” the bartender remarked, appearing suddenly behind the counter with a sharp gaze. “Yes, I’m just an Omega,” I replied, each word stabbing at my pride like shards of glass. “That’s not what I meant,” he said quickly, but I raised a hand to silence him. The alcohol was taking over, making my mind foggy. Despite my tipsy

“Where have you been, April?” Duncan’s voice was low, firm, and tinged with an edge that sent a cold shiver racing down my spine. It wasn’t just a question, it was a demand. My hand curled into a tight fist at my side as I faced him. Fear had been my first instinct, worrying over what he might do or how he would react. But then I remembered. Remembered what he did in front of everyone. And just like that, my fear melted into simmering anger. How dare he? “I went to have some fun,” I said, tossing my shoulders into a nonchalant shrug. My tone was casual, but my words were deliberate. “It is my birthday, after all.” Duncan’s brow arched, his expression darkening. His wolf-like intensity practically crackled in the air between us. But I stood my ground. I wasn’t afraid. Not this time. I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. At least, not physically. “You went to have fun?” His voice dropped even lower as he took a deliberate step closer. “You reek of another wolf,” he said, stepping closer.

DUNCAN I slammed the door behind me, the sharp sound echoing in the silence. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. If I stayed any longer, I would lose control. And that wasn’t something I could afford right now. As I walked away from the house, the cool morning air hit me like a slap in the face. I welcomed the sting, letting it clear my head. The contract I handed April was supposed to restore order, to bring balance to the chaos she’d dragged into my life. It wasn’t about power. Itwas about balance. But as I gripped the steering wheel, trying to steady myself, I knew the truth. Her scent still lingered on me, maddening and soft, reminding me that she wasn’t just a problem to solve. She was a complication I didn’t need. And yet, I couldn’t ignore the pull. April would never follow the rules I’d set out. And me? I wouldn’t stop until I uncovered every secret her father was hiding. The man who had betrayed everything I stood for. Experimenting on rogue wolves, striking deals with dang

APRIL “Let me go,” I demanded, my voice barely steady as I thrashed against Alpha Emmett’s unyielding grip. His fingers dug into my arms, like steel clamps pinning me in place, leaving no room for escape. I swallowed my rising panic. Screaming wasn’t an option. If anyone from the pack saw us like this, the rumors would spread like wildfire, and the consequences would be unbearable. “Go ahead, scream,” Emmett taunted, his voice dripping with dark amusement. “It won’t matter. Right now, you’re mine.” The cold, possessive tone in his words sent a shiver down my spine. He leaned in, his face so close I could feel the heat of his breath, his lips angling toward mine. My stomach churned as I twisted against him, but his strength overpowered me completely. I had no wolf to call on, no chance of matching his brute force. Still, I refused to give in. As his mouth pressed against mine, I did the only thing I could. I bit down hard on his lower lip. The sharp taste of blood filled my m

Returning to my childhood home felt like stepping into the den of a predator. The memories of my father’s harsh treatment resurfaced like dark shadows, tightening my chest and curling my hands into fists. This place was dangerous. Possibly a trap. I was defenseless here, with no one to rely on. My father could do whatever he pleased, but despite the risks, I couldn’t ignore his summons. Closing my eyes, I whispered a quiet prayer, clinging to a fragile hope. Please, Moon Goddess, protect me. When I opened my eyes again, I inhaled deeply, trying to calm the storm inside me. “April, you’re here,” my father said the moment I stepped through the door, his voice sharp and unnerving. I forced a smile, pretending I wasn’t suffocating under the weight of his presence. My gaze shifted to the Alphas seated near him, their piercing stares sending a shiver down my spine. A wave of disgust rolled through me. My father, old and conniving, surrounded himself with these younger, powerful men

“What?” Duncan’s voice cut through the air, cold and sharp, his piercing gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that sent a shiver through me. My stomach twisted, but I forced myself to hold steady. I could see the frustration and confusion etched into his expression, but I didn’t care. I was done. Exhausted mentally and emotionally, I couldn’t let my father control me anymore. Rejecting Duncan now was the only way to reclaim a sliver of freedom. Yet his words from before still echoed in my mind, and a tremor of fear crept over me. I knew he would never forgive me for this. “You heard me,” I said, my voice calm despite the storm raging inside. “I won’t marry you. Find someone else or better yet, go back to your lovely Melissa. You two clearly have a long history, and it’s obvious you still have feelings for her.” I tore my gaze away, unable to meet his eyes as he stepped closer, trapping me against the wall. I tried to summon defiance, but my heart raced. His eyes were unyield

DUNCAN I wasn’t used to feeling nervous. As the Wolf King, I had faced battles and challenges that would make most men crumble, but standing at the altar, waiting for April, my hands were sweaty, and my wolf was restless. I rubbed my palms together, trying to stay calm. She wouldn’t leave me standing here... would she? Even though I had a plan to deal with her father, my feelings for April were real. I wanted to protect her, and the only way to do that was to make her mine. Right here, in front of everyone and all the packs. But why wasn’t she here yet? Then I heard whispers near the door. “We have a problem,” one of her attendants said to the nannies. My eyes immediately narrowed. They were her attendants, the ones responsible for ensuring she made it here. Where was she? My mind raced. Did she run away? Did Emmett take her? I scanned the room for him but saw nothing out of place. Melissa wasn’t here, which was a relief. I didn’t need her ruining this day. “What’s wron

APRIL He was gone. I should have known better than to expect anything from Duncan, but the sting of disappointment settled in my chest all the same. It was our wedding, after all, and yet I hadn’t seen him in five days. My father hadn’t called either, deepening the ache of uncertainty. Should I feel relieved he wasn’t around, or resentful? It was just a contract marriage, but a part of me wished Duncan would at least try to treat me like his wife, his mate. “Where is Duncan? Has he come back yet?” I asked the nanny, my voice echoing through the empty house. “Wolf King Duncan—” The door swung open before she could finish. Duncan walked in, his hair disheveled and his face shadowed with exhaustion, or maybe something darker. I stood up, my heart stumbling at the sight of him, ready to demand answers. But he didn’t even glance my way, his focus fixed on the stairs as he strode past me without a word. I shot a look at the nanny, who was watching too closely, her sharp eyes following

"April! April!" Duncan's voice echoed loudly in my ears. I felt so different after what happened. I could feel it. My wolf lingered deep inside me. I gasped as my body trembled, my senses overwhelmed by the flood of power coursing through me. Every sound was sharper, every scent richer, every heartbeat in the room like a steady drum in my ears. My wolf. She was there, fully awake, stretching within me like she had always belonged. The room was deathly silent, all eyes fixed on me. I could feel their uncertainty, their fear. I pushed myself up, my fingers gripping the cold stone beneath me. Duncan was crouched beside me, his hands firm on my shoulders, but it was the look in his eyes that shook me the most. Relief mixed with something else. Something wary. Michael’s voice cut through the silence like a blade. “This is wrong,” he said, his expression hard. “The Moon Goddess does not grant wolves to those born without them. This is not her blessing. It’s something else.” I clench
Auctioned To The Wolf King My Wolf's Awakening
Duncan’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer, his presence making my pulse stutter. The afternoon sun filtered through the trees, casting long shadows over the garden, but I felt exposed under his gaze. I curled my fingers behind me, pressing my injured wrist against my back, willing the wound to close before he noticed. Even though I didn't have my wolf, I still had my healing abilities. “What are you doing out here?” His voice was steady, but there was something beneath it. Something edged with suspicion.I forced a casual shrug, even as my heart pounded. “Just needed some air.”His gaze flickered to my hand, his wolf-sharp senses picking up something I couldn’t hide. I shifted, angling my body away from him, but it was too late. His fingers caught my wrist before I could react, his grip firm but not harsh.“April.” His tone was low, unreadable. “You’re hurt.”I swallowed hard. I couldn’t tell if it was an observation or an accusation. Having no other option, I exposed my hand letti
Auctioned To The Wolf King A Deal in the Shadows
Caden’s knowing smile lingered in my mind long after he disappeared, leaving me alone in the dimly lit kitchen. My heart raced, and my breaths came shallow as I stared at the shattered pieces of the cup on the floor. His words clung to me like a second skin, both tantalizing and terrifying. How did he know about the Lunaris Hemlock? And why had no one else told me? I sank into the nearest chair, my body trembling with the weight of the revelation. My blood wasn’t just different. It had been deliberately tampered with. By who? My father? Duncan? Someone else entirely? The room felt colder and emptier without Caden’s unnerving presence, but his offer hung heavy in the air. To awaken my wolf, to finally stand beside Duncan as his equal, I had to make a deal with the devil. But would Duncan see it that way? The thought of his reaction made my stomach twist. I’d promised to help him take down my father, yet here I was, making secret bargains with the Vampire King. Would Duncan ever
Auctioned To The Wolf King Chains of Fate
APRIL I nestled in Duncan's embrace throughout the night, a wave of happiness washing over me. At last, we had bridged the gap between us and united against a common foe. My father. The rage I'd felt toward him bubbled beneath the surface, yearning for justice, not just for the pain he inflicted on me, but for the suffering he brought upon my mother and our entire pack. Hours slipped by as I lay wide awake, the weight of my thoughts pressing down on me like a heavy fog. My mother’s face flickered in my mind, a haunting reminder of the past. She was gone, and the desire to finally give her a proper farewell consumed me. I longed to lay her to rest, to turn the page on our shared anguish and reclaim the peace that had long evaded us. "Good morning," I said smiling as I felt Duncan shift under me. Duncan's eyes opened and I saw his wolf's presence before his eyes changed to normal. Rolling me closer to him, I was stunned as Duncan placed a kiss on my head before getting up. I sa
Auctioned To The Wolf King A Fragile Truce
DUNCAN April was finally ready to talk about her father. Seeing her so scared, I knew that Emmett had said something. But what did he say? Reaching out to hold her shoulders, I tried to pretend as if I knew nothing about but it was a f**king hard job to do since I wanted to tear Emmett's head off his shoulders. " What happened? Did he do something to you?" I asked staring at her. Watching her shake her head, my wolf felt relieved but I didn't. I wanted to know everything but I didn't want to push her either. " Tell me what happened. What did he say to you?" I asked but April seemed hesitant. " April, you can tell me anything." "My mother. They have my mother." She said shakily, crying, and my wolf growled. I didn't like to see her crying either. I reached out and scooped her into my arms, lifting her effortlessly off the floor. My chest tightened as my gaze fell on the dark bruise marring her neck. A surge of anger burned through me. Emmett was going to pay for this.
Auctioned To The Wolf King Tangles Hearts
APRIL Is love supposed to be like this? I never imagined that the reason he had left me was because of Melissa. Again. When I had gone to find him, I was surprised to see him sleeping beside her on her bed. It seemed like I was no one to him still. I decided to leave. The sky suddenly changed, and rain started falling, drenching me. The cold soon enveloped me and I rubbed my two hands together as I walked through the forest. The sound of the chipping birds echoing in the forest made me scared and amused at the same time. Suddenly, I heard someone step on a branch and quickly hid. Running away when we were still in the vampire's territory seemed like a bad idea but I couldn't find my way back. Soon, the sun began to go down making me worried. I had to find somewhere to rest before nightfall or even escape. But where could I go? " April!" A loud voice echoed. "April, where are you?" I heard Duncan's voice, and I immediately turned, trying to head toward where I had heard t
Auctioned To The Wolf King Chasing My Mate
DUNCAN The heavy scent of garlic hit me the moment I returned back to my room. I was covered in blood and my wolf was distressed after leaving April alone by herself. I didn't like the effect she had on my wolf. She was the reason why I could control my wolf despite it being the full moon. She was like his drug, his lifeline. "April?" I called out as I entered the room. "Are you okay?" I asked as I searched around the room and headed to the bathroom. Empty. My eyes widened as a flurry of questions raced through my mind. Had she been taken? Had a vampire sneaked in and abducted her? I closed my eyes, letting my inner wolf surface, howling loudly in the room. Just then, I heard a noise coming from the closet. I approached it, taking a deep breath as I sensed her presence nearby. Was she inside the closet? Leaning forward, I grabbed the handle and opened it. "April. April, are you okay?" I asked as I saw her squatting down with her head down to the floor. She looked visi
Auctioned To The Wolf King Fangs and Shadows
APRIL Oh, my holy moon goddess. I had not thought things through when I had insisted on going with Duncan. He was angry with me for borrowing his grandmother's hands but maybe he had a point. Was I dreaming? The Vampire King was so handsome that I couldn't believe he had for a thousand centuries. His hair was black, silky, and beautiful. His eyes, on the other hand, were red, and his skin was pale. He said he wanted me. Duncan's words earlier about my hybrid blood didn't seem like a lie like I had thought. Duncan's hands wrapped around my waist, " April is my mate. I'm sorry but she is out of bounds." I looked up at Duncan and saw his eyes. His wolf had come out to the surface already. Glancing at the curtain, I could see the moon already shining high up in the sky. It was already night. Was that the reason why Duncan had tried his best to delay our arrival? "What a smart move." The Vampire King said as his gaze followed mine to the curtain. "You delayed your arrival
Auctioned To The Wolf King The Vampire King's Demand
DUNCAN I couldn’t shake the tension as I approached the meeting room. My grandmother, a staunch supporter of Emmett’s claim to leadership, had called this meeting the moment she realized I’d been missing. I hesitated outside the door, cracked it open slightly, and listened. “Has it been confirmed that the Wolf King is dead?” Emily, the Luna of the Redfur Pack, asked. “We shouldn’t discuss a successor until we know for sure.” My grandmother’s voice was firm as she stood. “The Wolf King hasn’t appeared in ages. According to our laws, if he doesn’t report to the elders, we have the right to remove him. He’s neglected his duties for too long.” Leon spoke up in my defense. “That doesn’t mean he’s dead. Our strength comes from the Moon Goddess and her vessel.” “And what about Duncan?” Emmett’s voice was filled with disdain. “His wolf is unstable. Can he really lead?” Rachel shot back, sharp and direct. “Are you any better? We tried with you, and the Moon Goddess rejected you. Ho
