Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398

Reven’s POV

I picked up my phone with shaking hands and called Edna, paring the length of the enormous bedrooms extreged

animal.

She answered on the second ring

“Reven? Are you okay? You sound like you’ve been crying”

“What?” she blurted when I told her where I was. “How could he do this to you?

My throat tightened again, tears spilling freely now that someone who actually cared was listening

“This place.” I whispered, turning slowly in a circle as I looked around the luxurious room. ” looks like a prison s beautiful one, but still a prison.”

The suite was breathtaking, high ceilings painted with delicate designs, a chandelier casting warm graden light, heavy silk curtains framing floor–to–ceiling windows, and furniture that looked like it belonged in a palace rather than a bedroom

And yet I had never felt more trapped in my life.

“Calm down,” Edna said gently, “Listen to me. You need to be smart about this?

“How am I supposed to be calm? I snapped, lowering my voice when I remembered guards were probably right side. “There are guards everywhere. I can’t even step out of the room without someone watching met

“Then pretend,” she said.

“Pretend what?”

“Pretend you want to stay. Be cooperative. Make them think you’ve accepted it”

I stopped pacing.

“And then?”

“And then, when no one is watching, you run.”

My heart pounded. “It won’t be that easy. This place is crawling with security?

“I know,” she said quietly. “But it’s still your best chance.”

Silence stretched between us, thick with everything we weren’t saying

Finally, she sighed. “I have to go. I’m not done with my shift yet?

“Wait-

The line went dead.

I stared at the screen in disbelief.

*Seriously? I muttered.

Frustration exploded out of me.

“Fuck you, Alpha Ethan!”

I hurled the phone onto the bed and collapsed beside it, my chest rising and falling rapidly as if I had been running for miles instead of pacing in circles.

I didn’t want to stay here.

I didn’t belong here.

And tomorrow? How was I supposed to go to work? How was I supposed to leave this place when I didn’t even know the way

out?

A helpless sound tore from my throat as I buried my face in the pillows, the scent of unfamiliar detergent and expensive fabric doing nothing to comfort me.

After a while, I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling.

Why the Luna suite?

I wasn’t his Luna.

I wasn’t anything to him except a convenient replacement for the woman who had left.

Slowly, I sat up and really looked at the room.

Despite everything, it was… beautiful.

The bed alone was bigger than my entire apartment. Soft cream bedding layered with plush pillows that looked like clouds.

A fireplace set into one wall, unlit but elegant. A seating area near the window with velvet chairs and a glass table that gleamed under the chandelier’s glow.

And for some reason…

It felt familiar.

Not in a clear, memory–triggering way. Just a faint tug in my chest, like déjà vu that refused to form into something concrete. Like my body remembered something my mind could not reach.

I shook my head hard.

“Doesn’t matter,” I murmured. “One night of luxury won’t kill me.”

Because tomorrow…

I was running.

I walked to the window and pushed aside the heavy curtain.

Outside stretched manicured gardens, moonlit pathways, tall hedges trimmed with military precision, and fountains glinting silver under the night sky.

Guards patrolled the grounds, their silhouettes moving steadily, predictably a constant reminder that this place was locked down tighter than a fortress.

Yeah.

Definitely a prison.

I climbed onto the bed and sat cross–legged, staring at the sky through the glass, counting stars to distract my ma panic swirling inside me.

One… two… three…

At some point, exhaustion dragged me under.

I woke early the next morning.

For a few peaceful seconds, I didn’t remember where I was.

Then reality crashed back like a wave breaking over my head.”

The pack house.

Alpha Ethan.

Being trapped.

I sat up immediately, heart racing.

If I was leaving today, I needed to start acting normal.

I carefully smoothed the sheets, making the bed exactly the way I had found it. Crisp corners, neatly arranged pillow–ke I had never slept there at all.

I wasn’t planning to use it again.

In the bathroom, cool water splashed against my face as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

The woman looking back at me seemed tired. Lost. Not someone who belonged in a palace.

The doctor had said it could take months two, maybe three for my memory to return.

Months.

It already felt like years.

“I just want to remember,” I whispered to the mirror. “My life… the people I loved… even the people hated just something

My voice broke.

“I want my life back.”

Today I was supposed to see the doctor again for a checkup.

But how was that going to happen now?

I was stuck in Alpha Ethan’s house like some kind of hostage.

“I’ll take the risk,” I said quietly. “I don’t care. I need my memory.”

1 leaned back against the porcelain, closing my eyes.

“I could stay here forever,” 1 murmured.

But I couldn’t.

I still had a life to chase… even if I didn’t remember what it looked like

After washing quickly, I reached for a towel, wrapping one around my hair and another around my body

“Whoever stocked this bathroom is very thoughtful,” 1 muttered as I stepped back into the bedroom

I stood near the dressing table, taking in the array of items neatly arranged there–body cream, hairdryer, brushes, and cosmetics. Everything a woman could possibly need.

I dropped the towel from my hair, reaching for the lotion-

The door swung open.

I gasped, grabbing the towel around my body tighter.

Alpha Ethan froze mid–step.

His eyes moved over me slow, deliberate, and completely unapologetic.

“What is wrong with you?!” I snapped. “Don’t you knock before entering a woman’s room?”

“Oh,” he said casually. “My bad. I didn’t know you’d be naked.”

“And now you’ve seen me naked,” I said furiously. “Can you leave?”

“No.”

My jaw dropped. “Excuse me?”

“You don’t need to be shy,” he added calmly. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you naked. You should remember the night of the ball.”

“You are such a jerk.”

“Say that again, wifey.”

My face burned. “Get, Out”

He tilted his head, eyes darkening slightly.

“You look very pretty when you’re naked,” he said quietly. “I don’t know why you hide it from your husband.”

“I am NOT your-
