Dear Readers, Sorry for the late updates. I have been struggling with personal issues for the past three weeks. I couldn't update the novel due to that. I also lost my tablet which had all the chapters. Fortunately I have recovered a few. Hopefully updates will move on smoothly. Thank you for your patience, continue to support Sold to the Barbarian Alpha.
Ara's POVThe sight of the alphas pouncing on their prey, leaping from one end to the other, sent a chill down my spine. Fear erupted inside me, and the only word that escaped my lips was a trembling, "Run."Without wasting a second, I bolted toward Nia's hut, my heart pounding in my chest. I prayed nothing had happened to them. Behind me, screams pierced the air, mingling with the crackling of flames that devoured everything in their path.The village was chaos—fire, smoke, and the desperate cries of the helpless. My feet felt heavy, as if the ground itself was trying to hold me back.But I couldn’t run. Not while people were suffering.I paused, took a deep breath, and turned to face the danger ahead.The wind caught my hair, casting it behind me like a banner of defiance. My tattered clothes clung to my body, exposing my arms, thighs, and legs, but they allowed me to move freely.My eyes burned with determination, and my presence seemed to command the air around me. I was no longer
Ara's POVI stood with the three maids, our bodies trembling but our resolve unshaken. We were outnumbered, outmatched, but we couldn’t let the alphas destroy everything we loved.The male alphas circled us, their eyes glowing with predatory hunger. Their pheromones filled the air, oppressive and suffocating, but we fought back with our own.But it wasn’t enough.We weren’t strong enough.The maid assigned to protect me lunged first, her fists flying as she struck an alpha across the jaw. He staggered but recovered quickly, his claws slashing through the air.The others fought back-to-back, their movements synchronized as they fended off two alphas at once. I was in the thick of it, my body moving on instinct, my fists and feet striking with everything I had.An alpha grabbed my arm, his grip like iron. I twisted, driving my elbow into his throat. He released me with a guttural growl, and I didn’t hesitate—I kicked him in the chest, sending him stumbling into another alpha.“Hey, we ca
The Lost ForestA Few Hours Before Sebastian Arrived..The trees loomed high, their twisted branches clawing at the sky. A thick fog coiled between the trunks, swallowing the path behind them.“We must leave at once! It was a trap from the start, and we walked straight into it,” Sebastian declared, his voice tight with desperation.“Steady yourself, Seb. We will find a way out,” Gargath assured him, though his eyes flickered with unease.“But how?” Vaxar muttered. “They say this forest does not let go of those who enter.”The others began to argue, their voices clashing as fear took hold. The mist curled around them, and from its depths came whispers—soft, ghostly murmurs that sent a shiver down their spines.Sebastian clenched his jaw and shut his eyes, forcing his breath to steady. Slowly, he inhaled, feeling the heavy air press against his skin.Then, a memory surfaced.A boy ran through a golden field, laughter ringing through the air. Behind him, a man chased, his voice warm with
Years ago, in the far west, nestled in a town called Leonori, life was bright and beautiful. It was a place untouched by war, where alphas didn’t clash, and peace and harmony reigned. But everything changed on one fateful day."Papa, catch me if you can!" a little boy named Sebastian called out, his laughter ringing through the golden fields as he darted between the tall, swaying grass. His father, Fabios, grinned and gave chase. "Seb, you better stay still, or I’m coming for you!" he teased, closing the distance between them in moments."That was so fast, Papa!" Sebastian giggled, his eyes sparkling with admiration for his father.But their joy was short-lived. Without warning, the sky darkened, casting an eerie shadow over the fields. Sebastian clutched the hem of his father’s coat, his small fingers trembling as they both looked up at the ominous clouds. Moments later, three figures emerged, surrounding them.Fabios instinctively stepped in front of his son, shielding him, his body
The wind swept past them, carrying the crisp bite of autumn.Moonlight bathed the field in silver, its glow so intense it felt alive—a silent witness to the tension humming between Sebastian and Ara.Sebastian took a step back, pulse racing, but before he could retreat further, Ara’s small hand shot out, seizing his collar. Her once warm brown eyes flared like fractured ice, shifting to an unnatural, luminous blue. A diamond’s sharp glint.“You’re mine,” she whispered, her voice a breath of frost.Then, without warning, her teeth sank into his neck.Pain lanced through him—cold, electric, and paralyzing. A shudder wracked his body as his vision blurred, but before he could react, she collapsed against his chest.“Agh!” he gasped, reaching for the wound. His fingers trembled over the tender flesh, the sting still fresh.But Ara lay still, her breathing slow and deep. Fast asleep.With no other choice, Sebastian hoisted her onto his back and carried her away. Far away, Fabios felt a str
The rain showed no sign of stopping. The children played, laughing and carefree, oblivious to the danger lurking ahead.Arzia moved restlessly, his unease evident. He walked with urgency, as if time were slipping away. Noticing this, Fabios approached him."Are you alright?" he asked.Arzia nodded, forcing a smile. "It’s nothing. We should have been back by now, but we’re stuck here because—" He paused, his gaze drifting toward Sebastian, who stood pale and unmoving, eyes fixed on Ara.Irritated by his stare, Ara turned away and walked toward her father. "Father, when will this rain stop?" she muttered, not expecting an answer.Arzia suddenly spoke. "Is your son alright?"Fabios glanced at Sebastian, his brows furrowed. "I doubt it. He’s been like this since morning, and I have no idea what’s wrong with him."Varg, clearly annoyed by his brother’s silence, sighed and stood in front of him. "Are you alright?"Sebastian gave a slight nod."Ahh, you need to say something. We can’t have yo
The rain poured relentlessly as the two most powerful Alphas stood face to face.Their fists were clenched, ready to strike—ready to protect the people they cared about.Arzia and Fabios had once been close friends, bound by a shared dream: to join the great Elite Alpha pack. They believed that those chosen by the Elite Alphas were blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.Together, they had trained, fought side by side, and tested each other’s strength, believing that one day they would stand among the blessed.But everything changed when Fabios lost all interest in becoming an Elite Alpha.Arzia was devastated. To him, Fabios wasn’t just a friend—he was someone he deeply admired, perhaps even more than he dared to admit. When he learned that Fabios had abandoned their dream, it felt like a betrayal. Sadness turned to fury, and those in power exploited his anger, whispering words that fanned the flames of his resentment.“Arzia, it was my choice to make. It had nothing to do with you, so—”
Arzia and Fabios exchanged fierce strikes, their swords clashing relentlessly. But in the heat of battle, a piercing scream shattered Fabios’s focus—his son’s voice.The brief distraction was all Arzia needed.In a split second, Arzia struck, driving his sword deep into Fabios’s abdomen. A sharp gasp escaped Fabios’s lips as blood surged up his throat. He staggered, falling to his knees, crimson staining the ground beneath him.Arzia took a step back, his expression cold. “You fool. Always distracted. Never taking anything seriously—not once, not ever,” he spat, watching as Fabios’s strength faded.Fabios coughed, a weak chuckle escaping between labored breaths. “Y-You think you’ve won, don’t you?” His voice was hoarse but laced with something Arzia didn’t expect—certainty. “Your hatred for me has blinded you. You can’t see the future… or maybe you just refuse to.”Arzia scowled. “Be quiet and die already.”But Fabios only smiled, his bloodied lips curling upward. “You can’t kill my so
A man burst into Ragnor’s chamber, haggard and nearly out of breath.“My king, wake up!”The king stirred, annoyed by the intrusion. He turned, pulling the sheets over Hulda beside him.“How dare he wake me? What could be more important than my rest?” he growled.The man dropped to his knees, bowing low. “Forgive me, my king, but there is urgent news.” His eyes flicked toward Hulda, who had pulled the sheet from her head and now sat up.Ragnor noticed the glance and stood, covering himself. He stormed over and grabbed the man by the neck.“You fool! You dare lay your eyes—!”But before he could finish, the chamber doors slammed open again. More men entered, swords drawn—aimed not at Ragnor, but at Hulda.Ragnor let go of the man and turned sharply.“What is the meaning of this?!” he barked.One warrior stepped forward. “My king, stay away from her. She carries ill intentions toward you.”Ragnor’s face twisted with fury. “What madness is this?! Who dares accuse her?! You enter my room
Past.. 1000 AD Notice: Sensual content ahead, read with caution. Hulda faced off her enemies head on. She fought vigorously and defeated many of the participating. After long battle. Hee emerged victorious. King Ragnor couldn’t hold back his excitement. Finally no one could come between them. They could finally be together. No options, since she won the heart of them audience. VIKRON… King Ragnor’s room. The torches flickered low in the royal room of king Ragnor. Casting long, dancing shadows across the stone walls. The air was thick with the scent of spiced wine and the heady perfume of desire. King Ragnor permitted for the servants to service his room. Make it look attractive and surreal. The servants did as they were told. Collected the finest perfumes and wolves skins. The wooden bed covered in fur. White. He stood by the arched window, his broad frame silhouetted against the moonlight, his green eyes emitting such eagerness. His heart pounding as the heavy w
The horse kept talking about remembering and stuff i couldn’t comprehend. His voice unfamiliar, feminine. His gaze unnervingly still watched me with eyes too knowing to belong to an animal. "Remember your past, Ara. That is the only way to win Sebastian Knight’s heart." he said like he knew my purpose of being in the game. I wondered. “How did..” “As I said earlier, I am here to help nothing more. You need to remember the memories you have chosen to forget” Its voice was smooth, like wind through the trees, yet it sent a shiver down my spine. I blinked hard, squeezing my eyes shut. “This must be a dream” I muttered to myself. This is a dream. It has to be. When I opened them again, the horse hadn’t moved. “What memories, are you in my dream or maybe I am still dreaming” “Listen to me I don’t have much time Ara” He knew my name and called it once more. “I am here to help” “I don’t even believe in you,” I muttered, more to myself than to it. The horse exhaled, a sound al
In the ash-gray dawn, wind whispered through the trees like spirits speaking in lost tongues. “We need to split,” Franco whispered. “I disagree,” Rose said, eyes sharp. “Same here,” Ara nodded, her voice low like thunder before the storm. But their words shattered, for steel clashed ahead—two groups, charging, roaring, blades singing. The fight was wild. Not one soul gave ground. They fought like beasts. But one side had to break. One did. When the blood mist cleared, only three walked from the wreck—silent, breathless. Franco, Rose, and Ara watched, horror in their eyes. Franco once held a sword like a king held a crown. But those days were behind. He had crawled to Brago’s side, left battle for politics, and now his blade arm was slow, soft. He would not survive hand-to-hand. “They failed, like the others,” a voice rang. Freda. She stepped through smoke and bone, flanked by wolves—Alphas and Betas, fierce, fanged, loyal. Ara raised her hand, gesturing to Rose a
Ara’s POV The gods must still look upon me with some favor—for I had not drawn attention. Not yet. But the forest screamed. I could hear the cries of others in the distance, sharp and raw, carried by the wind. And worse… I could smell them—dormant Alphas. Their scent was sour, primal. Disgusting. Still, I had no choice but to bear it. I pressed crushed herbs to my neck, masking my scent. An Omega must hide, not shine. I gripped my bow tight. The string hummed softly. No close combat—I’d lose before I even had a chance to strike. Then… footsteps. Quick, heavy. I ducked behind a thick tree, breath tight in my chest. From behind the branches, I saw her. A woman—tall, sharp-eyed. Black hair like nightfall, eyes like a frost sea. Her voice was silk and steel. “Slay as many as you can,” she said to the two men beside her. “And your reward shall be a night with me.” A cruel grin touched her lips. I recognized the first man—an Alpha with a dark tattoo etched across his arm. I had
NOTICE: Sexual abuse and high violence scenes read with caution. The forest sprawled like a burial ground, thick with shadows. Over three hundred participants swarmed beneath its canopy, hunting and hunted. Alphas unleashed pheromones to assert dominance. Omegas wielded charms to survive, while Betas scrambled for scraps of safety. Some had formed temporary packs, though alliances frayed like rotting thread. Soon, even comrades would turn on one another. fanco trudged beside Rose, though “teammate” was too generous a term. Rose’s defiance crackled like static. “You shouldn’t have followed me here,” Rose snapped. Franco scanned the trees, jaw tight. “You think I wanted to? Stay close.” “If you’re so reluctant, then leave! I’ll make a fine feast for the Alphas.” Franco whirled on him. “I’m sick of this act. Being Brago’s favorite doesn’t mean I’ll cater to your whims.” Rose barked a laugh. “His favorite? Who does he summon every night? He fought to keep you out
Ara's POVI stood again in the arena of blades, where blood-soaked earth remembers all who dared step within. The stench, sharp as a broken promise, struck my senses.It was just as I remembered—the cries of the crowd, the roar of warriors.But this was no homecoming.I alone bore bow and arrow. No sword. No axe. No iron fang to clash with theirs. They laughed then, and they laugh still. Fools. Or maybe it is I who was fooled.I thought it a game. A test of bravery. Not this. Not death in the dirt.And him—Sebastian. I dared not meet his eyes. Shame is heavier than any shield.What fool enters a war of blades with feathered sticks?Would I survive long enough to make my plea? Would he remember me when I fall—if I fall?I shook the thought like snow from my shoulders. Of course he would. He is to be wed soon. And I—what am I but a fallen leader of a broken village?He is loved. And he loves them in return. His people. His duty. Not me.But when he spoke , Gods, when he spoke my
Gargath stood tall, troubled by Vaxar’s strange stillness. Her eyes did not storm, her voice did not rise. She made no quarrel with Sebastian for allowing Ara to join the sacred games. And to Gargath, this was not right. He stepped forward, his voice low but steady. "Vaxar… have I asked a foolish thing?" She smiled, cold and knowing. "Not foolish, Gargath. Just amusing. You see me as the villain if I agree, and still the villain if I do not." His eyes narrowed. "You've done something, haven’t you? I know you, Vaxar. No realm in all the nine worlds would find you pleased for Ara’s joy. You hate her. We all know it." Her face hardened. "I do not hate her. I bear her no ill." "Oh, spare me that tale," Gargath snapped. She stepped closer, her voice a whisper meant to strike. "Would you have me raise sword against the Alpha himself? You all would rise like a pack of wolves and tear me down. I wasn’t prepared for that… not yet." "Then why send Crystal to the maidens i
Present.. Two days ago.. Ara's POV I chose to walk the path of the brave. One day remained before the Bravery Games began, and the fire within me burned with unrest. Nia, my only tether to kindness, had been good to me. After I left her home last eve, she led me to a sacred grove where I could sharpen my skill with the bow. The morning passed slowly, and I waited for Vaxar to tire of mocking me, forcing me to labor beneath her cruel gaze. Sebastian was gone—again. Of course, he vanished when I needed him most. Was it truly coincidence? I doubted it. He gave them power—power to break me. Yet his presence, when near, still held warmth. A bitter warmth that wrapped around my throat like a noose. Why did he hate me so deeply? He slaughtered my kin. He named my father murderer. The truth haunted me. I craved it. Needed it. Not just to soothe the ache in my heart, but to forge the revenge I would one day exact. Perhaps one still lived. Perhaps not all was lost. “Focus, Ara,” Nia
