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 Seventy-two
Lord Roderick sat at the head of the long, mahogany table, his posture regal, his demeanor commanding. The parchment in his hand bore the seal of Ethan, the alpha of the Crescent moon pack, an alpha he had long considered little more than an annoyance. With a flick of his wrist, he unfurled the letter and began to read aloud, his voice carrying across the grand chamber. The council members flanked him on both sides, their faces twisted in expressions of surprise and mockery.
"To Lord Roderick, leader of the council and the fire-blooded," Lord Roderick began, his tone laced with sarcasm. "I, Ethan, alpha of the Crescent Moon, hereby challenge you to a duel."
A murmur of disbelief rippled through the council chamber as Lord Roderick read aloud Ethan's bold proposal. They exchanged glances, stifling chuckles.
