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 Fifty-two
Ariana, bathed in the gentle moonlight, sat on the edge of her bed, its faint glow outlining her silhouette. Her mind swirled with a billion thoughts, none of which seemed to comfort her. Her eyes, mirrors of the night sky, reflected the unease that twisted within her. The weight of her unspoken truth pressed against her chest.
Her hands cradled her stomach, a subconscious gesture betraying the secret she harbored. "How much longer can I keep this hidden? What if someone finds out?" she whispered to herself.
Her words still hung in the air, when a soft gentle knock that reverberated through the corridor like a thunderclap, interrupted the silence, and Ariana couldn't help but instinctively flinch at the unexpected intrusion.
Her shoulders abruptly quivered in anticipation. She quickly composed herself, wondering who it could be. Gabriel, perhaps, come to check on her? Or one of the other pack members, concerned about her well-being.
