CHAPTER 62

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-24 20:13:15

Thalia's POV

I messed up.

I was sweating buckets. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might leap out of my chest. Of all the people who could have caught me—why did it have to be Ronan?

Why on earth did Luka not mention that this was Ronan's private garden.

I wouldn't have come here if I knew.

I was damn sure that his hatred for me hadn’t faded, not even a little.

I knew that.

I could feel it in the sharp way he spoke to me, in the cold intensity of his gaze.

So what was he going to do now? Would he punish me? Make an example out of me?

He would most certainly enjoy making an example out of me. Perhaps he would use this opportunity to truly show me my place.

Gosh, I was so nervous.

I swallowed hard, trying to force words out—some kind of excuse, some explanation that might save me—but my throat locked up.

There was nothing I could say.

My shoulders sagged, and I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for whatever was coming.

Then—sound.

A sharp sound sliced through the silence.

  • Sold to the Rogue Sovereign    Chapter 63

    Thalia’s POVI was full.I should leave.But Ronan hadn’t moved, hadn’t spoken.He lay there, unmoving, his crimson eyes fixed on the moon like he was lost in a world I couldn’t reach. His expression was unreadable, but there was something about his stillness that unsettled me.It was like he was carved from stone—distant, untouchable.I should be relieved.But a part of me—some foolish, self-destructive part—felt uneasy seeing him like this. Even if he hated me, even if his words had cut me earlier, something about this silence made my chest tighten.I would have much preferred him to move about and just do something—anything—instead of staying perfectly still like a statue.I exhaled quietly.No. That wasn’t my place to think about. I was nothing to him. And staying here any longer was pointless.I moved to stand, but hesitation kept me rooted.Because the moment I stepped away from this quiet, I’d be returning to that.To the endless work. The punishments. The weight of Garrett’s c

    Ronan's POVShe was gone before I could stop her.I hadn’t even realized I was reaching out until my fingers curled around empty air.Tch. Foolish.I pulled my hand back and clenched my jaw, forcing my attention elsewhere—anywhere. But my gaze landed on the pile of fruit she had been eating, the only trace of her presence left behind.My brows furrowed.That question… she hadn’t asked it out of idle curiosity.Someone had done something to her.I exhaled sharply, willing myself to push the thought away. It wasn’t my concern. I had spent weeks making sure nothing about her concerned me.And yet, my teeth ground together despite myself.If there was proof… if she had evidence…Would she use it?Would she dare?I scoffed under my breath, shaking my head. It wasn’t my problem. I wasn’t her savior. She had made her choices, just as I had made mine.So why the hell did this unease claw at my chest?With a low growl, I grabbed one of the remaining fruits and bit into it viciously. Then anoth

    Chapter 1 Thalia’s POVThe crystal chandelier up above illuminated the ballroom, which held one of the grandest events of the year: my 4th-year marriage anniversary ceremony to Alpha Caden. I was supposed to be happy, to feel great knowing that I'd reached this milestone, but sadly, as I accepted congratulatory messages, raised wine glasses, and murmured well wishes, I felt empty. It's been a whole 2 hours into the ceremony, yet Caden wasn't here.Where was he?My husband, my Alpha, Caden Sinclair of the Bloodstone Pack, was supposed to have been here ages ago with me to entertain the guests. I mean, this was ‘our’ anniversary, and I had taken great lengths to ensure that it was a success. Yet, he disappeared this morning, leaving me alone in this embarrassing situation. How could I explain that I didn't know why the Alpha was missing from his own anniversary?“Long live Luna Thalia.” A guest hailed, and I turned, my lips stretching into that fake smile I was constantly dishing out t

    Chapter 2Thalia's POV “What are you doing Caden?” I took a step back in fear. Caden took a step forward, glaring at me like he was a predator and I was prey.“In case you've forgotten, I am the Alpha of bloodstone pack.” He growled, his amber eyes flickering with red which means…his wolf was on the surface. “No one leaves my back unless I allow it.”I swallowed hard, summoning what little courage I had left. “You can’t keep me here against my will. You’ve already taken everything from me—”But then, I noticed his gaze flick past me, a silent signal I almost missed. Panic surged through me, and I tried to turn around, but before I could react—CrackA sudden searing pain exploded at the back of my head, and the world began to spin. My knees buckled, and I collapsed to the floor, vision blurring as I struggled to stay conscious.“Well, that was easier than I thought.” I heard Astrid sneer at me.“Poor, pathetic Thalia,” she cooed mockingly. “The Rogue Sovereign will be pleased to hav

  • Sold to the Rogue Sovereign    CHAPTER 3

    Ronan's POV “Thalia.”The name slipped past my lips before I could stop it, and in that moment, my entire world cracked open. I thought I had buried her—locked away every shred of who I was before becoming the Rogue Sovereign, buried him so deep that nothing could ever pull him back. But her eyes, that deep forest green, looked up at me like the ghost of a life I’d lost, and my heart didn’t just stutter; it almost broke.Then, I felt it. Something I hadn't felt in four long years. My wolf stirred for the first time in four years, just because of her.I couldn't move or breathe, struggling to understand and contain the chaos that rippled through me.She looked different. Emaciated, sad, and her eyes that were once full of life were now empty, but despite all this, she still looked beautiful; she was still the woman I loved without reason.Memories crashed over me, and I was back in that golden time when her laughter was my only sun, her presence my only peace.I’d thought she loved me

    Ronan's POV“Fenris.”The name of my wolf burned in my mind as I desperately called out to him in my subconscious.“Wake up.”No answer.“Fenris, answer me! Wake up!”Silence.The void within me yawned wider, a suffocating emptiness I’d grown used to over the years. I missed my wolf—his howls, our conversations, the sense of wholeness he brought. Shifting, running, and fully connecting with him felt like a distant dream.For werewolves, the bond between human and wolf is sacred, two halves of a whole. The wolf fuels instincts and strength, while the human provides reason and control.Losing a wolf is like losing a piece of your soul, leaving you hollow and on the brink of madness. Most who lose their wolves succumb to feral rage, despair or death. their lives shattered.By all rights, I should have fallen long ago. Yet here I was, surviving as a shadow of myself.I had all but given up on ever feeling Fenris’s presence again. But then, he emerged when I saw her. After that brief flick

    Ronan's POV I stood frozen at Hebathi’s words. Even though she could sense I was lying, she still wanted to help me, genuinely and wholeheartedly! I opened my mouth to respond, but the words just wouldn't form. I didn't know what to say or how to respond to her. The storm inside me was too loud and chaotic. I needed time to think and process everything. My legs moved of their own accord, carrying me toward the black throne that loomed in the center of the chamber. The throne of the Rogue Sovereign. I sank into the seat, leaning forward, my elbows resting on my knees, and buried my face in my hands. The pull of despair clawed at my mind and sanity. Her footsteps clicked toward me, but I didn't look up. I couldn't. “Ronan,” Hebathi said softly, standing before me. Her voice carried such tenderness that it magnified my guilt. Before I could react, she stepped closer and wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug. “I know,” she whispered. “I know how much

    Thalia's POVThe guard's grip on my arm was like iron, holding me in place as he dragged me down the dimly lit corridor. My feet stumbled over the uneven stones, but I barely noticed. My mind was in total chaos, spinning wildly as I tried to come to terms with the impossible truth.Ronan. The Rogue Sovereign was Ronan.My Ronan.My mate.Or….former mateHow…how was that possible?Hot, relentless tears streamed down my face as I thought to myself.Just when I thought things couldn't possibly get worse, and that my mental state couldn't descend into chaos even more, I was left to face the unbearable truth of the monster that my Ronan had become.My subconscious whirred, and I could do nothing to stop the memories that surged forth like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me.I could still see his smile—the one that made his crystal-clear blue eyes glint with mischief when he'd sneak me out of my parents' pack house under the cover of night.We'd run barefoot through the forest, his laug

  • Sold to the Rogue Sovereign    CHAPTER 61

    Ronan's POVThe scent hit me first—wildflowers and honey, laced with something softer, something uniquely hers. It was faint beneath the lingering sweetness of fruit, but I’d know it anywhere.Thalia.What the fuck was she doing here?I tightened my grip for just a second, feeling her small frame tremble against me. The soft rise and fall of her chest, the rapid beat of her heart hammering against my forearm—I felt it all. Every little shake, every nervous breath. She was terrified.I could hear her muffled whimpers against my palm, her body going tense beneath my hold. Her skin was warm, feverish almost, and gods help me, her scent was consuming. It seeped into my lungs, curling around my senses like a drug I never meant to inhale.A growl rumbled low in my throat, and I shook my head, disgusted with myself.No.Not her.I shoved her away, my fingers tingling from the loss of contact.Thalia stumbled back, gasping, her wide blue eyes darting up to meet mine.Her lips—still sticky wit

    Thalia's POVI reached the garden faster than I thought possible, my legs aching with every step, but my hunger pushed me onward. My stomach growled so loudly it was almost embarrassing, and the ache in my gut was becoming unbearable.The garden was tucked away behind the eastern wing of the castle, a quiet, forgotten corner that seemed untouched by time. Vines twisted around old stone statues, their moss-covered faces half-hidden in the shadows. The air was thick with the sweet scent of ripening fruit, mingling with the earthy smell of damp soil.I scanned the garden, my heart pounding.No guards. No one. It was just me and the lush, overgrown paradise in front of me.I stepped closer, my eyes darting between the trees laden with fruit.The sight of them made my mouth water—round, glistening apples hanging like jewels, their skins a deep shade of red, oranges so ripe they seemed to glow in the moonlight, and soft, sweet pears that looked like they were bursting with juice.My stomach

    Thalia's POVI kept my head down as I approached the rogues feeding grounds. The rogues were waiting. Watching. Their eyes glowed like hungry embers in the dimming light.I gulped, trying not to focus on them as I buried my fear in the deepest parts of my soul. A repeat of last time was not on my to-do list for today, and I would appreciate it if I could survive without one of the rogues going feral on me.Luka wasn't here to help and i was pretty sure Sienna wouldn't mind watching the rogues rip me to pieces. I needed to be extra careful. Sienna stood right in front of the cart, arms crossed, lips curled in a scowl.“You’re late,” she said, her voice sharp, triumphant.I didn’t answer.Because I wasn’t.Maybe by a few minutes, but not enough for it to matter.I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction.Instead, I walked past her, grabbed the wheelbarrow, and started loading the first stack of meat.Suddenly, the crack of the whip sliced through the air before I even saw it coming.Pain

    Thalia's POVLuka’s jaw tensed, his eyes darkening. "She’s not my girlfriend," he said, his voice clipped.Sienna froze mid-step.Then, she turned, her face contorting with fury. “What?”Luka didn’t even spare her a glance. “You heard me.”Her nostrils flared, her nails digging into her palms.But whatever she wanted to say, she swallowed it down with a bitter sneer before spinning on her heel and storming away, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.Good riddance.I exhaled quietly, feeling the tension in my shoulders ease—just a little. But the relief didn’t last long.Luka’s gaze flicked back to me, his brows furrowing.“Your face—” His fingers twitched at his sides like he wanted to reach out but held himself back. “She hit you?”I instinctively touched my cheek, wincing slightly at the sting.“It’s nothing.” I waved it off, trying to sound casual. “I’ve had worse.”His jaw clenched."What happened in there?”I sighed. “Garrett’s still pissed about what happened, so he dec

    Thalia's POVGarrett leaned back in his chair, smirking as if this was all just a game to him."You can go now," he said lazily, waving a dismissive hand. Then, his gaze flicked back to me, amusement flickering in his cold eyes. "But remember, pet—when you’re ready to bow to my wishes, come back to me. Maybe then, I’ll consider being merciful."My stomach twisted.Disgust mixed with burning fury coiled inside me, clawing at my insides.I would rather die than ever crawl to him.Arrogant, disgusting bastard.I swallowed back the bile rising in my throat, forcing myself to remain silent.He wanted a reaction but I wouldn’t give him that.Sienna clicked her tongue, stepping beside me."Oh, don’t just stand there looking stupid," she sneered. "Move it, pet. You’ve got work to do."Her voice dripped with mockery, and I could already hear the cruel amusement in her tone.She was going to enjoy this—making my life miserable, ensuring I suffered every second of every day.I bit the inside of

"What’s wrong?" he drawled, tilting his head mockingly. "You look like you’ve seen a ghost."I swallowed hard, my fingers curling into fists.Oh, it’s worse than a ghost. It’s a damn nightmare."Go on," he murmured, taking a step forward. "What are you waiting for?"A cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck.And then—something inside me shifted.No.I couldn't do it.There was no way in hell I was putting my mouth anywhere near that.Not in a million years. Not even if the Moon Goddess herself came down and ordered me to.Enough.I had been scared. I had trembled under his presence, let myself believe I had no choice. But I did.I did.And I was making it now.Slowly, I lowered my gaze, shaking my head. "No."The air in the room shifted
