Chapter: Chapter Ninety Seven- The Price Of Bread (Dorian’s POV)The cabin was not a cabin as I took proper view of it. It was a logging outpost, built for punishment detail. Four walls of damp pine, a roof that leaked, and six bunks for men who were not soldiers and not prisoners, but something in between but I was the only one there.I had been left there that morning with a sack of stale rye, but by midnight, I returned with a rogue. Brandon wouldn't come inside, "your workers will scream if they see me, they've been told we eat children.""Do you?" I turned to him."Only on feast days," Brandon said flatly, then saw the look on my face. "No, my prince, we do not.""Wait here then, behind the woodpile. If you hear me shout, run."I pushed the door open but stumbled backwards when I saw three men inside, playing dice by a weak fire. Old Robert, a guy with the missing ear, and younger guy who couldn't have been older than sixteen. I knew they were not royal guards because Robert was there, when they stood when they saw him. "Your Highness.""Stop

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Six- The Genesis Of The Exile’s Pact (Dorian’s POV)The rogue stayed bowed, his forehead nearly touching the dead leaves. Up close, he smelled worse than my wolf had reported; sweat, woodsmoke, wet earth, and years of living without a proper bathhouse."Get up," I snapped, brushing dirt off my tunic. "I hate being bowed to by people who just tackled me into the dirt like a wild boar."He rose quickly, awkwardly. He was younger than I'd thought at first glance. Not much older than me, maybe twenty-nine. But his face was gaunt, his hair matted, his cloak made from stitched pelts that didn't match. A decade of exile had aged him twice over."What's your name?" I asked, because if he was going to kill me and eat me, I should at least know his name for the afterlife."Brandon, of the Grey Hollow pack. Formerly of the Grey Hollow pack.""Formerly." I said with a sprinkle of disgust.He flinched at the word. "My father was a border scout, he was loyal for twenty years. He served under your grandfather first." Brandon's voice lost its tremblin

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Five- The Closure (Selene’s POV)The guards acted swiftly, lady Vespera was held down at the dais before she got to Kael. He rose and looked at Vespera, his face was blank but I could tell he held the same disdain in the same measure he saw Lara. There should be an expression of disgust if he was that direct facially. Kael looked down at her, “you all keep doing the same thing over and over again, and even after the multiple failed attempts you still venture into more evil.” Last Vespera whimpered and turned to me swiftly, “please, queen Selene. Solicit on my behalf……” “I could swear that you almost choked when you called me queen.” I curved my lips in amusement. “I can't help you, lady Vespera. The deed has been done, every crime committed against the king and the throne have received repercussions and justice in return. It's your turn to face your karma,” I said quietly. “I'll do anything please, just don't send me to jail or make me end up like Lara.” Lady Vespera pleaded endlessly. “My verdict is this,” the

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Four- The Closure (Selene’s POV)Staring at the lady who wasted her youth running my life, I felt an in-depth relief wash over me. But I was filled with so much pity for her; Lara has spent almost the entire time of her life fighting for a throne because of its glamour and bloodthirsty power, the other side of the throne she ignored has risen to bite off her head. When Kael gave me an opportunity to make a verdict, I decided to give her another chance at life even if it would be a bone-breaking one. Without her wolf, her strength would wane and her abilities to manipulate things would be absent. She would definitely work extra hard to get by. The royal witch was summoned and the ceremony began with so much solemnity and the aura of malicious spirits present, I shivered inwardly but still maintained my poise. “I hope you get this one right,” I whispered and genuinely prayed that the goddess help her through the whole ordeal. Despite all she has done, I still send her my goodwill wishes. As the witch made her way

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Three- Defeat (Kael’s POV)The grand courtyard of the palace was filled to absolute maximum capacity, a literal sea of powerful, dominant wolves representing every single major pack across the entire continent. The air was thick and heavy with a volatile, dangerous mix of competing Alphas’ primal auras—a tense, vibrating energy that would have easily ignited into open violence under the authority of any lesser king. But my absolute dominance pinned them all down like a lead weight, demanding total submission and absolute silence.I sat upon the throne with a huge dominating aura, Selene positioned proudly beside me, her posture remarkably regal and unyielding despite the trauma she had endured. Hadrian stood directly behind our chairs, and Theo stood beside the steps leading to the throne with his heavy broadsword drawn and resting against his shoulder. While Bram meticulously managed the perimeter guards along the high walls. This assembly wasn’t just a simple trial; it was a calculated demonstration of absol

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Two- The Trial (Theo’s POV)Maddie took Ash from queen Selene’s hands and stared at him in awe, “he’s beautiful my lady. The goddess truly smiled on you.”“Thank you Maddie,” queen Selene beamed. King Kael kissed her on the forehead and signaled me, “we would leave you now to continue your catching up. We have business to do,” he said and turned around. The deep subterranean levels of the royal palace smelled heavily of damp stone, old rust, and the agonizing, metallic scent of silver suppression fields. I walked slowly down the narrow corridor, my heavy leather boots clicking rhythmically against the wet granite floor, until I finally stopped before the heavily barred cell situated at the very end of the maximum-security row. This was where we kept the monsters, traitors included. King Kael spoke behind me, “the trial begins tomorrow, no delay of any sort.” “Yes, your Majesty.” I nodded.Inside the dark space, chained securely to the stone wall by heavy silver manacles that actively burned into her ra
