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 Twenty-two
Ariana's muscles burned as she delivered powerful blows to the punching bag, feeling the impact on her knuckles and her arms. She kicked the training dummy with all her strength, feeling the force in her legs and her feet. She moved around it with all her agility, sweat dripping down her forehead and her back.
Liam and Mia had returned to their pack, but Ethan and Ariana were still not in speaking terms. He was still angry and hurt by her plea for Liam, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that she still cared for him. He felt betrayed and insecure, and he didn't want to listen to her explanations or apologies.
Ariana trained hard, harder than ever, trying to release the frustration and the confusion that filled her mind and her heart, trying to forget the anger and the hurt that clouded her eyes and her voice, to ignore the tension and the distance that separated her from Ethan.
