The Ugly Lycan Queen
My mate cut my face apart and threw me off a cliff.
My sister watched and smiled.
Together, they took everything from me.
My throne.
My life.
My place beside the Lycan King of Warhill.
The river was supposed to be my grave.
But the Goddess had other plans.
Now I am back in Nymore, hidden behind scars that make even my own people look away. My mate has his heir. My sister has my crown.
For now.
Because the woman they pushed into that river is gone.
And the one who crawled out of it has nothing left to lose.
Not her beauty.
Not her reputation.
Not even her soul.
They wanted me dead.
They should have made sure I stayed that way.

Betrayed by the Lycan King she once loved and the sister she trusted, Reine should have died in the river they threw her into. Instead, she awakens in her homeland of Nymore with a gift from the Goddess and a burning desire for revenge.
As she struggles to accept the scars that now cover her face, Reine discovers a mysterious new power she awakened with--a power that could change the fate of kingdoms.
With her loyal brother at her side and an unlikely ally in a frail human servant named Eren, Reine begins plotting the downfall of everyone who helped destroy her life.
But as enemies gather and secrets come to light, Reine must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for revenge.
And whether the price is worth paying.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5 - THE UGLY LYCAN QUEEN--REINE--The girl staring back at me was not me.The left side of my face was covered in thick, twisted scars.They stretched from my forehead to my jaw, red and uneven like melted skin. The scars pulled at the corner of my mouth, leaving it crooked.My cheek no longer had its soft shape.An eyebrow was gone.Even my hair no longer grew near my temple. Only scarred skin remained.My fingers shook as I touched my face.It didn't feel like my skin.Some parts were numb.Others burned.I tried to smile.I couldn't.One side of my lips barely moved.Tears blurred my vision.I wasn't looking at Reine anymore.I was looking at a disfigured stranger.A girl who had paid the price of loving the wrong man.Of trusting the wrong sister.As the last tear slid down my cheek and I closed my eyes again, water splattered onto my lap.My eyes shot open, wide.What...?I glanced at Eren and Mother in confusion.They didn't look confused.They looked horrified.Was it my face?"Reine," Cain whispered.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 - I DID--REINE--His eyes widened like I'd asked for something impossible.Mother's grip on my hand tightened.Even Eren shifted uncomfortably."Why do you need a mirror, darling?" Mother asked, gently caressing the back of my knuckles. "Eren, ask someone to get her water please. She must be so thirsty."Immediately, he stepped outside to oblige to her command.Cain squeezed my hand, leaning closer. "Reine. Tell me who did this. I promise, they won't live to see another sunrise. Just give me a name."I sniffed, my eyebrows pulling closer.Eren returned with a glass of water and extended it towards me."Water, darling?" Mother asked, taking it from him.I shook my head.She placed the glass on the table beside the bed."Reine," Cain said again. "I will not rest until you have been avenged. Who did this?"I looked away from him, unable to keep gazing into his sad eyes.Those same eyes that once looked at me with admiration and pride.My face was wrapped in bandages.I knew what Karlos had done

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 - MIRROR--KARLOS--"I cannot believe this!" Emerald squealed, taking a twirl before the mirror, admiring herself in Reine's ebony gown. It puffed around her, glittering under the golden chandeliers of my room. "This is exactly how I imagined it, Karlos. It's all over now."She looked at me through the mirror, and I gave her a half smile.Was it really over?I had watched her disappear under the surface of the river.I'd stood there long enough--waited for the bubbles of her breath to stop reaching the surface.And yet, my heart refused to rest.She was my mate for the last two years.I was supposed to feel the moment she took her last breath.Crushing pain until I took a new mate.But all I felt in my chest was hollow.No ache.No hurt.Just empty."Where is the red one? The one with gold embroidery?" Emerald asked, now buried deep inside Reine's trunk of clothes."They're all yours, my beautiful queen," I sighed, fastening my night robe and standing up from the bed.I made my way to her and

Chapter: CHAPTER 2 - YOUR MAJESTY?--REINE--Pain was the only thing I felt.Unimaginable.The kind that should have killed me.Maybe for a moment, it had.My face burned like it had exploded, as did my neck and chest.But somehow, I was still breathing, even with half my wounded face pressing against hot, muddy ground.I glanced around with just my eyes, blinking over and over to clear my vision, because I couldn't believe what was in front of me.Wild blue irises carpeted the riverbank, dancing in the morning breeze.Memories flooded my mind. Laughter. Giggles. Playful screams.Chasing Cain, and Emerald, and... Eren.My heart tightened in my chest.These flowers only bloomed along the rivers of Nymore.The rivers that meant home.The heat of tears filled my eyes, throat burning with quiet sobs.How had I managed to wash up here? Nymore was on higher ground than Warhill. How could a river carry me here?Maybe this wasn't Nymore.Maybe it was heaven.But when I touched my cheek, agony ripped through me, harsh enough to

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 - REBIRTH--REINE--"Please," I begged, the thick chains around my wrists and arms rattling as I sobbed. "I did everything you asked, Karlos. I tried to give you an heir. If you wait for the next cycle, it might happen. Please, don't do this."He took a slow step closer, the wind teasing his silver hair. His eyes gleamed red under the grey evening sky, void of all emotion. The air felt charged with current, and dark clouds shrouded the remnants of sunlight."I warned you, my love," he said, his voice deeper than normal--mixed with that of his lycan's. "I gave you two dreadful years. But my kingdom will not wait any longer."Hot tears rolled down my cheeks, my heart knocking against my ribs.This couldn't be happening.This was wrong.A nightmare.I would wake up, and I'd be in his arms again.He would stare at me with love.I would be his perfect queen.But my knees ached from chafing against the rough ground of the cliff, and even the pain didn't snap me back to reality.Because this was it.T
