Novelas de Faith

"I don't want a mate."The words slipped past my lips, heavy and sharp, echoing against the towering pillars of the Alpha King's palace.Two royal guards stepped into my path, their spears crossing before my chest. "You have no authority or invitation to enter the royal court, female," the guard on the left barked. "Unmated Alphas with weak borders and unstable pack lines are not granted private audiences with His Majesty. Turn around and leave before we forcibly remove you from the palace grounds.""I am Alpha Liora of Silver Fang, and I demand an audience regarding an outdated, unjust pack law!" I argued fiercely, tilting my chin high to meet his arrogant glare without wavering. "The High Council is using ancient regulations to strip my pack's sovereignty, and only the Alpha King holds the supreme power to overturn their corrupt demands."The guards scoffed, exchanging amused, mocking glances as if I were nothing more than a delusional child throwing a desperate tantrum. "The King d

"Some wolves are born to wear a crown, Liora. Others are born to kneel before the woman who deserves it."Lilith's sharp, high-pitched voice echoed across the open courtyard of the Silver Fang packhouse as she stepped off Aldric's royal carriage.Aldric stepped out right behind her. He clearly expected to find a panicked, tearful young girl begging for his forgiveness after last night's chaotic public rejection.Instead, he stopped dead in his tracks as two dozen Silver Fang guards stepped forward, bowing their heads in submission as I approached the stone stairs."What is the meaning of this foolish performance, Liora?" Aldric demanded, "You rejected my proposal in front of the entire assembly, and now you parade around your packhouse like a wild rogue who has completely lost her senses. I brought the high council elders here today so you could formally apologize for the chaos you caused and accept your rightful place as my Luna.""I have no reason to apologize to you or anyone else,

"If you want to throw away your future, do it alone! Don't drag the entire Silver Fang Pack into your madness!" my father roared as I stepped inside his private study, slamming the door shut behind me.I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, glaring at his furious expression while maintaining my ground against his overwhelming Alpha presence that usually made everyone in the room tremble.In my previous life, I would have cowered instantly under his gaze, offering apologies for daring to question his supreme authority over my life and future."You think you can just humiliate Alpha Aldric in front of the entire council and face no consequences whatsoever?" he demanded."I merely spoke the truth that everyone else was too cowardly to voice out loud," I replied calmly, tilting my head back as I met his enraged stare, "Our pack has been bleeding out slowly for years because you traded our dignity and independence for empty political promises.""Our territory has been weakening because r

"I, Liora of Silver Fang, reject your proposal, Alpha Aldric!"The loud music blared through the grand hall. Wolves laughed in groups, while elders gathered near the throne for the annual Mating Ceremony.I blinked rapidly, my breathing coming in short, panicked gasps as I gripped the fabric of my dress.My hand trembled violently as I raised it to touch my chest, searching for the deep, gaping stab wound Lilith had delivered.There was no blood, I turned around frantically, stumbling slightly as my high heels caught on the edge of the carpet. My eyes landed on a mirror.The woman staring back at me didn't have hollow eyes, pale skin, or dark bruises under her cheeks.I was eighteen again, standing in the exact same dress I wore years ago before my entire world crumbled into ashes.A terrible wave of nausea washed over me, making my knees buckle slightly as terrifying memories flooded my mind. I could still hear Lilith's cruel laughter echoing in my ears, mocking my foolish devotion a

"Your husband never loved you, Liora. He only needed your pack. And now that he has everything, he's finally ready to get rid of you."I gasped as a sharp pain exploded across my chest, sending me crashing onto the cold floor of my bedroom.Blood pooled around my shivering body, soaking through my nightgown while my wolf whimpered weakly in the back of my mind.Standing directly over me was Lilith, her lips curved into a triumphant, wicked smirk that sent a chill through my dying heart.She was wearing my hand-stitched Luna gown, and around her slender neck hung the silver pack crest that symbolized my position as Luna of the united territories."You really believed you were special to him, didn't you?" Lilith purred softly, nudging my bleeding ribcage with the tip of her boot. "You gave him your pack, your loyalty, and your father's total allegiance, thinking it would buy his eternal devotion."My lips trembled as I tried to summon enough strength to speak, but only a choked sob esca
