Sold To The Ruthless Alpha King
She is sold into slavery to the ruthless Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack after her mate cheats on her with her sister and she is forced by her parents to give up her mate to her sister. Ariana's captive existence as a mere breeder under Alpha Ethan takes a turn when she discovers a forgotten journal. Unfolding its pages reveals a heartbreaking saga, a lost child, a murdered mate, and a curse. Its worn-out pages hint at a prophecy, and the mention of a unique birthmark signals an unspoken connection with its author and a link to the alpha’s curse. Now the question arises: will Ariana be the savior or the harbinger of doom?
Chapter Thirty-four
Ariana curled up in the dark corner of the cave, her body shivering not just from the cold, but from the raw pain that coursed through her. Three days had passed since her desperate escape from the pack, and the unforgiving wild had left her battered. A deep gash on her side throbbed, an open wound from a sharp tree branch that had grazed her. In the damp silence of the cave, she felt the chill of infection setting in, yet she lacked any means to treat it. Shifting into her wolf form seemed an impossible feat, and the thought of hunting for food or finding water was a distant dream.
She was starving and dehydrated, but she was too afraid to leave the cave. She had no idea if Ethan was still looking for her. She had no one to help her, no one to comfort her. She was alone.
She tried to block out the memories of the past few days, but they kept haunting her. She tried to sort out her feelings, to forgive and forget.
