Auctioned To The Wolf King Shadows of Trust
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

Duncan’s grandmother’s sharp eyes were locked on us, her question cutting through the tense silence. “Is this your wife?” She asked. The room felt suffocating, and I couldn’t bring myself to look up at her much less answer. Duncan’s hand slipped into mine, squeezing gently. His touch stunned me as he whispered, “Yes, she is.” The silence in the room after he admitted that I was his wife was long and deafening. “Grandma, don’t make her more nervous than she already is,” Duncan’s voice was softer than I’d ever heard, surprising me even more. “She’s my mate.” “Your mate?” The disbelief in his grandmother’s voice was palpable. Why was she so shocked? “If she’s your mate, then welcome to the family,” she said, standing and surprising me further. I blinked up at Duncan, my heart racing. “Really?” My voice was barely a whisper. My eyes drifted to Melissa’s face and I could see her emotions written all over her face. She was hurt, but she didn't dare to lash out in front of

Duncan Vampires. It always came back to vampires. And this time, it had to be April’s father. Only he could be so vile, so heartless as to capture rogue wolves and send them to vampy. I’d known he was a greedy man, ruthless in his pursuits, but this... this was a depth of depravity even I hadn’t expected. “Make sure the boy survives,” I said to Damon, my tone hard as steel. “Once he’s stable, move him to the safe house. And Damon, be careful. Don’t let Emmett follow you.” I grabbed my suit jacket from the chair, my mind swirling with anger and plans for retribution. But as I opened the door to leave, I froze. April was walking toward me, her delicate frame framed by the dim light of the hallway. Her expression was soft, her concern evident, but right now, her presence was the last thing I needed. “My love, what’s wrong? Where are you going?” she asked, her voice gentle, almost soothing. I stepped forward, trying to sidestep her, but she reached out, her hand grazing mine.

APRIL I ran. Slamming the door behind me, I leaned against it, my chest heaving as I clutched the doorknob. My heart pounded wildly, but it wasn’t just from running. Duncan… something was happening to him. He was changing, and I’d never seen him like this before. Writhing in agony, sweat slicking his brow, his eyes clouded with something far beyond rage. I had seen his wolf before. Powerful, wild, and dangerous. But this… this wasn’t the same. Something was wrong. Gathering what little courage I had, I slowly opened the door again. Duncan was already in his wolf form. “Oh my god,” I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. My voice wavered as I took in the sight. His wolf lay still, almost lifeless, its massive chest rising and falling weakly. “Duncan? Can you hear me?” I knelt beside him, my hand trembling as I reached out to touch his fur. The moment my fingers brushed his coat, I felt it—the overwhelming wave of sadness and despair that coursed throug

Auctioned To The Wolf King A Tangle Of Rogues
"Rogues?" I whispered as panic coiled in my stomach. I was without a wolf now so I could not change or defend myself. Rogues were dangerous. Dangerous because once you were beaten by them, there was a huge possiblity you might not survive. They were stronger than most werewolves, more faster. " Who sent you? What do you want?" I asked staring at them as they circled me slowly entrapping me with no way to run. One of them snarled, baring yellowed teeth, his eyes glowing with a wild hunger. He looked more beast than man, his clothes torn and stained with old blood. The others were no better. They all had red eyes and scary looking faces. They didn’t answer. Instead, the tallest one stepped forward, his bare feet silent on the damp forest floor. His presence was suffocating. Power rolling off him like he was dangerous. "Wolf Queen, don't blame us. It's your fault for getting entangled with Duncan Blackwood." He said snarling as he talked. Duncan? Were they here becau

"I'll just get going." I said removing my hand from Duncan's. I tried to walk past Duncan when suddenly, he grabbed my hand again. My gaze darted to him with questioning gaze. " Whatever you have to say, say it in front of April. She is my Wolf Queen now." Duncan said as his hand tightened around mine. I couldn't believe it. Duncan was not leaving me for Melissa. Duncan's gaze turned to mine and I could see the determination in his eyes. Melissa's eyes flicked to our joined hands. Her lips parted, but no words came out at first. She looked... lost. Like she hadn’t expected Duncan to say that especially not in front of me. "I just..." she began, her voice soft, almost breaking. "I wanted to say I’m sorry. For everything." I blinked. Sorry? From Melissa? That wasn’t what I had expected. Duncan said nothing, his hand still firm around mine, grounding me like an anchor in a storm. Melissa looked down at her feet, then back up at Duncan. “You chose her. I can see that now. A

APRIL My eyes flickered open the moment Duncan asked about the ring. Opening my eyes, I could see his eyes narrow as he looked at the ring. Did he know?My fingers curled instinctively into a fist, concealing it before he could speak. He couldn’t know. Not yet. "Just a ring my mother left for me." I lied holding his gaze as I stood. I turned away, letting the hot spray from the shower mask the panic rising in my chest. The water coursed over my skin, but it couldn't wash away the fear. I had fought too hard for this moment. To become Duncan’s Wolf Queen and claim my place beside him. I couldn’t afford his doubt. Not when I was this close. When I officially become Duncan's Wolf Queen, I would be able to have the power to search for my mother's remains. Even my father would not be able to go against me then. " Let me help you." Duncan said, his voice rough as he took the sponge from my hand. Duncan reached out turning me around and I let him. Closing my eyes, I relaxed in
Auctioned To The Wolf King Unleashed Under The Full Moon (2)
DUNCAN April's wolf was the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen. Her beautiful silver fur glistened in the room and I could see everyone was as stunned as I was. Her wolf was strong and very domineering unlike any I had seen. Watching as she moved around, I stepped forward expecting her to recognize me as I held her wolf's gaze. She was my mate, after all. " Is she refusing to submit to the Wolf King?" Melissa asked, trying to cause more trouble, and April's wolf seemed to be stirred by it. Melissa's voice instantly turned the attention of April's wolf to her. Her gaze changed and I could see that something was wrong. Almost as if April was in no control of her wolf like I did. "Duncan," Melissa said as she saw April's wolf. April’s wolf let out a deep, menacing growl, her silver fur standing on end as she turned her piercing gaze toward Melissa. A fierce, untamed energy flickered in her golden eyes, something raw and dangerous that sent a chill down my spine. My heart po

"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.
