Novel-novel oleh His Majesty

Ravenna’s POVThe needle on the speedometer climbed past eighty as the car sped down the road. Trees rushed past on both sides.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly. My heart pounded hard against my chest.I couldn't stop thinking.The images kept replaying in my mind—the bloodstained bandages, the torn flesh from my past, and the terrible truth about the person I used to be.No matter how hard I tried, the memories refused to leave me alone.*Who took those photos? Who knew?*The questions screamed in my head so loudly that the world outside the windshield completely vanished. I wasn't watching the road as my mind was very busy with different thoughts. "Look out!"A sharp, hysterical scream shattered my trance.My eyes snapped back to the road just in time to see a hooded figure stepping directly into the path of the oncoming SUV. Instinct took over.I slammed my foot on the brake and jerked the steering wheel sharply to the left.The tires screeched against the road as

Ravenna’s POVFor the first time in days, a quiet peace seemed to settle over the palace.I sat at the vanity table, absentmindedly brushing my hair when a sharp chime echoed from my phone resting on the nightstand. I picked it up, unlocking the screen to find an anonymous text message from a private number.I know who you are. I know exactly what you are doing in that palace, Ravenna.My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly forced myself to take a deep, steadying breath. A cold smirk touched my lips as I tossed the phone onto the bed.*Nice try, Selena,* I thought to myself. It had to be the Luna Queen. After her screaming match with Ronan yesterday, she was likely trying to play mind games with me, hoping to stir up panic and force me into making a careless mistake before the wedding. She was desperate, and desperate people resorted to pathetic, anonymous threats. I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of a reaction.A pair of strong, familiar arms wrapped gently around my

Ronan’s POVI slammed the heavy double doors of my mother’s apartment open so hard. She sat on a wooden chair facing the window, holding a cup of tea as if she hadn't just interrupted my private moment with my future wife. She didn't even flinch with the way I opened the door angrily. She simply took a slow, calm sip, turned around, set the porcelain down, and looked up at me with those cold eyes."You took your time getting here, Ronan," she said softly, her voice completely smooth. "Is that any way for the future Alpha to treat his Queen?""What did you say to Vexley?" I demanded, skipping all pleasantries. I marched straight up to her, leaning my palms flat against the polished wood, glaring down at her. "What did you say to my mate, Mother?"My mother’s eyes narrowed into a sharp gaze. "So, she ran straight to you to cry, did she? How predictable.""Answer my question!" I roared, my voice echoing off the tall stone walls of the solar. "Did you threaten her? Did you tell her

Ravenna’s POVThe heavy silence in the room stretched thin as Ronan unbuckled his sword belt, the thick leather drop onto the side table with a dull thud. He looked into my eyes for a few seconds before asking me anything. I could see the concern on his face. “Vexley?" Ronan asked. He reached out to gently cup my face with both hands. "What is going on? Why do you look like that? You're trembling."I let out a shaky breath, allowing my eyes to fill with glossed, frightened tears—a performance I had perfected over five long, painful years. I looked up into his face, making sure my lip quivered slightly as I raised my hands to rest timidly against his chest."It's... it's your mother, Ronan," I stammered softly, lowering my eyes as if I was too terrified to even speak her name out loud. "She sent for me earlier today. She called me to her private chambers."Ronan’s hands instantly tightened on my cheeks, his jaw clenching hard. The air in the room grew noticeably colder as his aur

Queen Selena’s POVWhen the door closed behind Ravenna, an uneasy silence filled my private chambers.Anger exploded inside me.It came so fast and so fiercely that my vision blurred for a second. I couldn't hold it back anymore. I had completely lost control.A roar of anger tore from my throat as I swung my arm across the mahogany table.The dark red liquid splashed across the white stone like a pool of fresh blood, and the shattering glass echoed off the gilded walls. I breathed heavily, my shoulders heaving, my hands trembling so violently that I had to grip the edge of the mantlepiece just to keep myself upright.How dare she? How dare that little parasite speak to me like that?!I closed my eyes tightly, forcing my mind to retrace every single interaction I had ever had with that girl from the very first day she stepped foot inside this palace.I remembered her quiet, modest smiles. I remembered the humble way she bowed her head, the sweet, submissive tone of her voice, and how

Ravenna’s POVI spent the entirety of the following morning waiting for the heavy axe to fall.Every single time a palace guard’s boots echoed down the quiet hallway, or a knock sounded at my bedroom door, my stomach twisted into a tight knot. I fully expected a squad of royal enforcers to burst into my room, bind my wrists in iron chains, and drag me down to the dungeons under the order of the Alpha King. I expected the professor to have lost his mind completely and spilled every dark detail of my identity to the court.But as the hours ticked slowly past noon, nothing happened.The palace remained entirely peaceful. Ronan stopped by my room to kiss my forehead and bring me fresh pastries, chatting happily about the venue decorations before leaving for a training session with his warriors. By mid-afternoon, a wave of profound relief washed over my frayed nerves.I let out a soft, mocking laugh as I sat by the window. *He couldn't do it.*Just as I had predicted, the professor was

Seraphina’s POVThings were spinning completely out of control. The dangerous tension between Soren and Lucas was a ticking time bomb, and I was caught right in the absolute center of it. If I didn't act quickly, the entire web of lies and secrets I had built would collapse and destroy me before I could complete my revenge.I sat at my small desk late at night, the quiet palace feeling eerily still around me. My hands were steady, but my mind was racing as I began writing a detailed letter to Orion, the Rogue King. I explained everything that had happened since I returned—how Soren completely trusted me now, and how Lucas, the pack's sharp Beta, had discovered my true identity as his fated mate.*“The Alpha’s guard is completely down,”* I wrote, my quill scratching sharply against the paper. *“He believes I am his devoted wife. I am in the perfect position to assassinate Soren right now without raising any suspicion from his warriors. Give me your permission to strike, end his lif

Soren’s POVI stood completely frozen. The shock of her angry refusal cut through my heart like a dagger. "You are not ready?" I asked. I took a step toward her, looking deeply into her eyes, searching for any sign that she was joking. "Evelyn, we have been married for years. We are the Alpha and Luna of this pack. How can you say you are not ready to have my child?"Seraphina crossed her arms tightly over her chest, stepping back toward the window. Her eyes were cold, unyielding, and filled with fierce anger."I am not ready because I almost died out there!" she shouted, her voice shaking with emotion. "I spent three terrible years away from this palace! My body was broken, and I barely survived! I will not risk my life getting pregnant right now just to make your elders happy!"Something snapped inside my chest. The exhaustion, the pressure from the council, and the months of carrying guilt finally boiled over. I snapped at her, my hands balling into tight fists at my sides."Y

Seraphina’s POVI sat in the chair, completely frozen. I could barely believe my own ears. I stared at Lucas, hoping to find any sign that he was joking, but his face was as hard as stone."You want me to... what?" I whispered, my voice trembling with shock."You heard me," Lucas replied, his dark eyes locking onto mine without flinching. "That is my only condition. You give me your body, and I will keep my mouth shut. I will turn a blind eye to your secret, your mission, and your true identity.""Are you completely insane?" I stood up so fast my chair scraped loudly against the floor. "I am living in the royal wing! I am supposed to be the King's wife! If Soren finds out that I am sleeping with his Beta, he will butcher both of us alive!""Soren won't find out," Lucas said smoothly, crossing his large arms over his bare chest."And what about your scent?" I shot back, pointing a trembling finger at him. "You saw what happened last night! Soren almost caught us because your scent w

Seraphina’s POVThe warm morning sunlight spilled through the tall windows, hitting my face. My eyes flew open, and I jolted up from the mattress, my heart instantly racing with fear. I looked around the large, unfamiliar room. The wooden furniture, the smell of rain and mint—I was still in the Beta's private quarters.I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to calm down. Then my stomach dropped as I realized what had happened.It was the first peaceful night's sleep I'd had in three long years.I had not experienced the usual, blood-soaked nightmares of the many people I had killed as an assassin. There were no ghosts haunting my dreams last night.I looked down at the soft sheets. *It must be him,* I realized. Fated mates possessed a powerful, ancient magic that could stabilize each other's restless souls. Just being near his presence had quieted the dark storm inside my mind.But I did not have time to sit and marvel at the bond. Reality came crashing back. I quickly slid

Lucas’s POVMy heart practically stopped beating for a second. Soren’s eyes were narrowed, sharp as daggers."I..." I swallowed hard, desperately clawing for explanation. "I bumped into the Queen earlier, Soren. In the corridor, right before dinner. We collided quite heavily. Maybe that is why her scent is on me."Soren’s brow furrowed even deeper. He took another step into my room, his eyes scanned my wet hair and the towel around my waist. "But you just said you were having a bath, Lucas. So you shouldn't smell like her so strongly right now."My mind went completely blank. I was totally dumbfounded. I was a warrior, a tracker, a Beta—but I was a terrible liar, especially to my Alpha. I braced myself, expecting him to push past me and throw open the bathroom door.Suddenly, the tension disappeared from Soren's face. He burst into laughter and shook his head. Then he reached out and gave my bare shoulder a friendly pat.The serious look in his eyes has been replaced by an amused sm

Seraphina’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of the room, completely flabbergasted by the sight before me. My breath trapped itself deep in my lungs. I couldn't tear my eyes away from Lucas. His skin was flawlessly clean, glistening with tiny drops of water, and his body was incredibly well-built. For a brief moment, a random thought crossed my mind.*Why were the men of the Obsidian Claw Pack all so unbelievably handsome?*As my gaze lingered, I noticed his cock grew visibly harder, pressing tightly against the white towel. Heat rushed to my face, and my heart skipped a beat.A strange warmth spread through my body, making me feel unsteady. In that moment, a truth I had been trying to ignore became impossible to deny.My wolf was deeply drawn to him. The fated mate bond wasn't just an old legend. It was real, and I could feel it growing stronger with every passing second.Lucas’s lips curved into a dark, mocking sneer. "Do you like what you see, Luna?"His deep voice pulled me out
