Chapter: 65. Strategy Amara POV The halls feel different this time, and I cannot tell if it is because the place has changed or that my mate is here. The last time I walked through these corridors, everything felt controlled, watched, and carefully measured. Every step I took felt like it belonged to someone else. Every breath felt borrowed. Now, Sebastian walks beside me, and nothing feels distant anymore. Everything feels sharper, more real, like the world has snapped back into focus. The servants guide us through the long corridors in silence. Their footsteps are soft against the polished black floors, and none of them dare to meet our eyes for more than a passing second. Still, I can feel it. The attention. The curiosity. The tension that lingers beneath the surface of everything here. Sebastian does not speak. His hand remains wrapped around mine, firm and steady, as if he has no intention of letting go. Every so often, his thumb brushes against my knuckles, absent but grounding, like he

Chapter: 64. Cassian Amara POV The room tightens all over again, but not in the same way it did before. Earlier, it was tension, sharp and immediate, the kind that warns of violence just waiting to spill over. This feels different. This feels wrong, like something unseen has slipped into place where it does not belong, something sharp and deliberate settling into the cracks of the moment. No one moves. No one breathes. Even Leviath, who never seems caught off guard, does not speak right away, and that alone tells me everything I need to know. This man.. he was not expected. The man’s gaze drifts lazily across the room, unhurried and entirely too comfortable for someone who just disrupted a room full of predators. His attention passes over the vampires, over the guards lining the walls, over Sebastian and the others, before finally landing on Sybil. And everything about him changes. Not softer. Not warmer. Just focused in a way that feels far more dangerous than anything else. “There you ar

Chapter: 63. A test of what? Amara POV The room does not settle after that. Even with Sebastian’s hand still wrapped around mine, even with the bond steady and warm where it had been strained just moments ago, the tension only shifts into something sharper. He chose me. I felt it, heard it, saw it. But that does not change where we are or who we are standing in front of. Leviath watches us like we are something newly interesting, like a game just took a turn he did not expect. “Well,” he says after a moment, his voice smooth and almost amused, “that went differently than I anticipated.” Sebastian does not respond right away, and he does not even look at him. His attention lingers on me for just a second longer, like he is making sure I am still there, still steady, still with him. Then his gaze shifts, and just like that, the warmth disappears, replaced by something colder and far more dangerous. “Get to the point,” Sebastian says. Leviath leans back slightly in his throne, completely at ease even

Chapter: 62. I don’t care Amara POV “A.. hybr- wha- what?” Sebastian’s voice isn’t loud. It isn’t angry. It just.. breaks. Not in a way I’ve ever heard before. Like something inside him caught on a sharp edge and didn’t come out clean. The room stills. Not gradually. All at once. Even the fire seems to quiet, like the flames themselves are listening. I feel it through the bond before I even dare to look at him. Confusion. Sharp. Jarring. Like the ground beneath him shifted without warning. Like everything he thought he understood just tilted sideways. I don’t look at him. Not yet. I can’t. Because if I see it.. if I see anything close to disgust or hesitation.. I don’t think I’ll recover from it. Not in front of Leviath. Not in front of all these watching eyes. “..A hybrid,” my father says again, louder this time. Slower. “Hybrid..” Sebastian repeats again, like he’s testing the word. Trying to decide if it belongs in this world. If I belong in it. The word settles into the room like smoke.

Chapter: 61. She’s leaving.. with me Sebastian POV The barrier doesn’t just break. It collapses. The cracks splinter all at once, the silver light bursting outward in a violent wave that tears through the forest like a shockwave. The humming stops instantly. Dead. Gone. Like it was never there. For half a second.. Silence. Then the force of it hits us. Wind slams into my chest, ripping through my coat, sending leaves and dirt spiraling into the air. The magic disperses in a rush that makes the world feel.. lighter. Open. Free. I don’t wait. I step through. No resistance. No pain. Just empty air where a prison used to stand. “Sebastian-” Sybil starts. Too late. Amara moves at the same time I do. The moment she crosses that invisible line.. The bond snaps tight. Not painful. Not gentle either. It hits like a pull straight through my chest, something ancient and absolute

Chapter: 60. Couldn’t be that easy, could it? Sebastian POV The barrier hums. It isn’t loud exactly. Not like thunder or crashing waves. But the sound lives in the air around us. A deep vibration that presses against my bones like the forest itself is holding its breath. The three artifacts react the moment we step close. The crown fragment strapped at my belt trembles faintly. The petrified heart Sybil carries pulses like a slow heartbeat in her palm. And the old dagger hangs heavy in my hand, the dark metal humming with that same violent magic we felt the first night we found it. The barrier stretches through the forest like a wall of warped glass. You can see through it. Sort of. Shapes blur and twist behind the shimmering surface. Trees bending slightly wrong. Shadows shifting like the forest on the other side breathes differently. And standing just a few feet beyond it— Amara. My chest tightens the moment my eyes land on her. She stands straight despite the exhaustion lining her face. Her dark hair

Chapter: 94: Thank you for finding meViolette POV “I now pronounce you husband and wife. King Viktor, you may kiss your lovely bride.” The minister said. Viktor didn’t hesitate to pull me into his arms. He placed a hand behind my neck and the other on my lower back and pressed his soft lips against mine. “I love you.” He whispered against me. “And I love you.” I smiled. He picked me up and spun me around as the room around us cheered happily. “Now, per the requests of the King, I will be crowning Princess Violette as our Queen, now.” The minister said. He walked up to me and I kneeled. “You will make a great Queen, lady Violette. Long may you reign.” He said as he placed the crown on my head. He held his hand out for me but before I could grab it, Viktor growled. “Mine.” He growled. The minister chuckled nervously as he backed away. Viktor held his hand out for me and I grabbed it. The crowd burst into laughter and cheers at the sight of their new Queen. “Should we run? I can’t wait to get you out of this gown.”

Chapter: 93. A good QueenViolette POV “You may kiss the bride.” The pastor said. Cedric pulled her in for a kiss and the crowd went crazy. Little Colette cooed contently in my arms, Viktor holding my hand tightly. “The tiara suits her well.” Viktor said. I gave him a smile. “It does, doesn’t it?” I asked. He nodded in approval. “We should go, the fireworks are about to start.” He said as he got up. I’d just announced Lillian as the ruler, and she’s already made a change. I love it. I walked over to Beatrice and Sylvia. “Let me take her. You both go enjoy the fireworks.” Beatrice said with a smile. I handed Colette to her and she quickly took off with Sylvia. “Ready?” He asked. I nodded. “More than ready.” I said. We followed Cedric and Lillian out of the main door along with the crowd of people. As if on cue, the fireworks began. Viktor pulled me to the front of the crowd as we watched.. a bright smile plastered on his face. “I love you.” He said softly. “I love you.” I replied. I cupped his face

Chapter: 92. I look like a princess!Violette POV “Oh, Princess.. I’m so glad you’re awake.” Lillian ran up to the bed and held me tightly. “She’s no longer a princess.” Viktor said. Lillian pulled away and looked at me, then her eyes widened. “Your father.. now you’re the Queen of Dubois werewolves.” She said. I let out a shaky sigh. “After the coronation.. yes.” I said. “And that will be tomorrow.. if you’re up for it. They want to make you Queen as soon as possible.” Viktor said. I looked at him and nodded. “How will we take care of two kingdoms.. they’re so far apart.” I said. “We.. we will probably have to appoint someone to do so until our pups come of age.” Viktor said. My eyes drifted to Lillian. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked. “You could do it.. right? Just rule in my stead until our pups can take over?” I asked. Her eyes widened and she shook her head. “Violette.. I don’t know..” she said softly. “Who else? I trust you so much.. I know you will do right by my kingdom. It’s no

Chapter: 91. ColetteViolette POV Where am I? What happened? My mind flashed with memories and my eyes shot open. My pup.. where’s my pup? My hands rolled over my empty belly. Where’s my pup? “Viktor? Viktor!” I cried frantically. I heard quick footsteps and a door opened, Viktor ran out of his office and over to me. “Violette? You’re awake! Goddess.. I was afraid..” he cupped my face and looked at me. He doesn’t seem to have gotten much sleep. His black hair was tousled.. his dark bags under his brown eyes.. “What happened? Where’s the pup?” I cried. My fingers kept running over my empty, flat belly. I curse werewolf healing. “She’s okay! She’s perfect Violette.” He said softly. He wiped my tears away with his thumbs. “She?” I asked. “You don’t remember?” He responded. “I do.. but everything after my.. Father is blurry.” I said. He visibly tensed at the mention of my Father. “You.. remember what happened? That you.. killed him?” He asked. I nodded. “Where is she? I want to see her.. I need

Chapter: 90. She’s perfectViktor POV “I’ll kill everyone if she’s not okay!” I growled through mind link as I followed her scent. Loren and several others followed closely behind as our claws dug into the earth. “It was Boris! We couldn’t find him anywhere and servants said they saw him leave in the direction of your chambers. It has to be him.” Enzo bellowed. I felt a sharp pain in my cheek and growled.. she’s being hurt! I have to get to her.. I have to get to them.. I ran as fast as I possibly could.. I could feel her fear.. her pain.. being marked linked me to her, same with her mark.. I searched for Arthur.. but he was nowhere to be found. I knew.. I just knew when I couldn’t find him that he was after her. After half an hour of running, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and tumbled to the ground. “Ah!” I growled as I shifted back into human form. I held my stomach but there was no blood.. Violette.. I gathered myself but felt rage like you wouldn’t believe.. hurt.. pain.. sorrow.. what is happe

Chapter: 89. I..will pushViolette POV “Look at my daughter.. finally able to do things that are necessary,” Father said as he walked towards me. His white hair flashed brightly in my sight as the rest of him was blurry. I let out a scream of pain as another wave of contractions rolled through me. “You know.. after all these years.. I can’t believe you were strong enough to survive two attempts on your life.” He said. I tried to move away from him as he walked towards me.. but I was just too weak.. “Fuck you,” I growled. “That’s no way to treat your father.. I took care of you. Made you who you are.” He growled lightly as he kneeled in front of me. “Why.. are you doing this?” I asked through my heavy breaths. My gown was soaking in my blood.. I tried to hold my hand against it but I don’t think it is doing much. “You know why, my sweet daughter..” he said as he tried to reach for my face. I jerked my head back and held the blood-soaked, silver knife between us. He let out a chuckle. “You won’t.” He sai
