Chapter: Chapter 110: A Throne in PerilKiera“Alistair,” I called, “Why would you say that?” I whispered, trying to reach out but he yelled again.“I said stay away from me, Kiera! I'll only hurt you if you touch me right now!"With that, he slammed his fist against the wall again, sending plaster flying in the air.He began punching the wall again, and I quickly realized that at this rate… he was going to shatter every bone in his hands. He was destroying himself piece by piece because the weight of the kingdom, the murder, and the betrayal was crushing him from the inside out.I knew that feeling. I knew that feeling too well. I knew how much damage he could do if he didn’t stop taking the pain out on himself too.So Ignoring his warning entirely, I sprinted across the ruined floor, closed the remaining distance, and threw my arms around his waist, pressing my face hard against his broad, heaving chest.Alistair froze, his entire body locking up as if he had been struck by lightning. The fierce, destructive growl was ca

Chapter: Chapter 109: The Man I Left BehindKiera"I want you, of course. Did you really think I would ever let you walk away from me? Alistair's reign is over. The northern court is going to tear him apart, and when they do, you'll have no one left. I'm finally here to take you back home my love."The cold stone of the corridor pressed hard against my spine as Raphael towered over me, his dark crimson coat swirling around his boots and his lips curved into that smug, intolerable smirk. He looked down at me like I was a broken toy he had finally managed to corner, his eyes glittering with triumphant arrogance. He probably expected me to tremble. He expected me to burst into pathetic tears, to claw at his chest and beg for mercy or rescue, just like the old days when I had no voice and no strength.Instead, a dry, sharp sound slipped past my lips, and I started laughing.It wasn't a nervous giggle or a hysterical breakdown. It was a cold, genuine chuckle that echoed off the empty stone walls.Raphael’s smirk faltered, his hand

Chapter: Chapter 108: The Kings DefianceKieraI glared at Damian, with my chest heaving with disbelief and white-hot fury. "You stood there. In the throne room. You stood beside those monsters while they accused me of murder, and you didn't say a single word!""Because you are being entirely irrational by still following that man, even after all I had told you days ago," Damian snapped back, his voice sharp and urgent. "Do you have any idea how big this is? This isn't just about an earring or a dead concubine. The northern lords want Alistair's head, and they are using you as the weapon to do it. Sometimes, in a war like this, sacrifices have to be made.""Sacrifices?" I repeated, my voice cracking with bitter, cutting disbelief. "Am I one of the sacrifices you're planning to make, Damian? Is that why you stood with the elders? So you could slide right into Alistair's empty seat when they execute us?""Wake up, Kiera!" Damian shouted, grabbing my shoulders tightly. "If you stay here, you are going to be collateral damage in

Chapter: Chapter 107 : The War is comingKieraBefore I could ask what we should do, a heavy, urgent knock hammered against the study door. But Brandon didn't even wait for a summons; before he pushed the door open, his face carved from absolute granite."Your Majesty," Brandon said without much greeting. "Elder Malakor and a few council members have just arrived at the gates. They are demanding an immediate audience in the throne room regarding the murder of Maya."Alistair’s face drained of color, his jaw clenching so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek. He looked at me, his eyes dark with dread. "They're moving fast. They want blood, we have to meet them. Let’s go Kiera."…The Great Throne Room felt colder and more oppressive than I had ever known it. As Alistair and I walked down the center aisle, the heavy stone pillars seemed to close in around us like prison bars. Seated on the raised dais at the far end were the senior members of the Lycan council, draped in heavy fur-lined robes of dark crimson and black. At thei

Chapter: Chapter 106 : The Trap Has ClosedKieraWithin minutes, a detail of guards rushed to our private suite and returned, placing a velvet jewelry tray on the table before Alistair. With steady fingers, Alistair sifted through the pieces. He pulled out the single remaining earring from my set. The matching partner was entirely missing.The silence in the room became absolute, suffocating, and deadly. The physical evidence tied me directly to a murder scene, leaving no room for doubt in the eyes of anyone watching."Bring in the maid who found the body," Alistair commanded, his voice strained as if every word physically hurt him to speak.Two guards stepped forward, pulling a sobbing, hysterical young woman into the room. As she stumbled forward, my blood ran instantly cold. It was the exact same maid.. the one Elizabeth had been whispering to yesterday near the buffet tables, the one who had slipped the heavy gold coin into her palm.The maid threw herself onto the floor beside the bed, wailing theatrically as she clutche

Chapter: Chapter 105; The Evidence Against MeKiera"Your Majesty," Theo gasped, his voice tight, strained, and laced with shock. "A messenger just came from the lower harem wing. One of the concubines... she's dead."“What?!” I gasped in shock and horror.My heart plummeted straight into my stomach, the brief warmth of last night's peace evaporating into an icy, suffocating terror. Alistair on the other hand, didn't hesitate, his boots already hitting the stone floor as he barked orders over his shoulder. "Lock down the wing. Nobody enters or leaves under any circumstances."I threw off the heavy velvet blanket and scrambled out of bed, pulling my dark dressing robe tightly around my shoulders. "I'm coming with you."Alistair stopped dead in his tracks, turning back to look at me with a fierce, protective scowl that carved deep lines into his face. "No, Kiera. Stay here. It's not safe, and you don't need to see whatever horrors are waiting down there.""I am not staying here," I snapped back, my voice trembling slightly but car

Chapter: CHAPTER 112 : KNIGHTS IN THE MAKING VERA'S POVThe warm sunlight streaming through the windows of the small cottage highlighted the joyful atmosphere of our little family's lunch gathering. Kevin, Astrid, Apollo, and I sat around the wooden table, laughing and chatting as we savored the delicious meal Sophia, my boss at the bakery, had packaged for us in a box as a token of her benevolence. Kevin, ever the attentive listener, asked the twins about their morning's adventure, and they eagerly shared stories of their exploration of the nearby woods. I smiled, watching my children's faces light up with excitement, feeling grateful for this peaceful moment amidst the chaos that had been brewing in our lives.As we finished our meal, Kevin's expression turned serious, and he leaned in, his voice low. "I have some news," he said, his eyes locking onto mine. "I received a message yesterday from my guys, I mean my childhood friends back at the castle. It seems that Sylvester, Uncle Ryan, and Sigurd are at war, each vying for co

Grimbold fought by his side, his axe swinging in great arcs as he cut down anyone who dared to get too close."Sigurd, we need to push forward!" Grimbold shouted above the din of battle. "We can't let them gain the upper hand!"Sigurd nodded, his eyes scanning the battlefield. "I see Uncle Ryan's standard," he said. "Let's make a push for it.

He saw himself choking in his own blood, his eyes bulging out of his head as he struggled to breathe.Sylvester woke up with a start, his heart racing with fear.

"I had a dream," he said, his voice shaking. "I saw myself choking in my own blood."Victor's face was expressionless. "It's just a dream, my lord," he said. "It doesn't mean anything. It could be a

Chapter: Chapter 5 : System first objective completeThe Swift hands of the weasel reached into the drawer and she drew out a desert eagle. She took the clips and inserted them, her eyes flashing with courage and hostility, even with the memories of the woman she was sharing a body with, she had never welded a gun before. Muscle memory became her guide. She loaded the clip in the gun, the gunshots heralding into the night. As she was about to exit the bedroom, the door opened and the maid that had brought Aurora burst into the bedroom, her arm stained with blood from the bullet scrape she received. “ Ma’am please take Aurora and run.” She warned, gritting her teeth in pain. Nalita dropped her hand to her side and rushed to the maid, she placed a hand on her unwounded shoulder and a grim look married her face.” I have to protect this fort, don't worry about me, just take care of Aurora until I return.” “ But ma’am...” Her protest died in her mouth when she saw the comforting look from Narita. With the maid reassured, Nalita grabbed

Chapter: Chapter 4 : Task InitiationSuzanne sat before the lavishly set table, her eyes wide with wonder as she took in the array of the dishes spread out before her. It was a feast, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her life.She had seen such a setting but it was as a slave, serving Vito's son without the dare to have a taste of it. The memories of her days as a slave came flooding back to her—the meagre scraps of food she had been allowed, the hunger that gnawed at her stomach day after day.But now, the tables had turned, and she found herself in a position she could never have imagined. If the ThreeBirth system had more dangers in it she could feel that there was a part of it that would be soft, and this was one of them. Beside her, Vince dug into his food with gusto, his enjoyment evident on his face. He paused for a moment, glancing at Suzanne with concern. "Why aren't you eating, my dear?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.Suzanne's lips curved into a smile as she looked at him. She

Chapter: Chapter 3 : Reality They returned to the magnificent mansion, its grandeur standing tall against the horizon. As Suzanne stepped out of the van, a sigh escaped her lips, and her gaze swept across the impressive building.Everywhere she looked, guards stood watch, their sunglasses concealing their eyes, and earpieces adorning their necks. Firmly gripping their weapons, they diligently patrolled the premises. Each bowed slightly at the sight of their boss. It was expected. It was a mafia boss' domain. Thus, it should be properly guarded and armed. The memories of this place flooded Suzanne's mind, downloaded and etched into her consciousness. She knew the lanes, the rooms, the secret rooms, the cells, the underground passage and the locks that opened them. She walked confidently through the manicured lawns, guided by the imprints of her past.Vince followed closely behind her and their footsteps echoed through the halls until they found themselves in a lavishly furnished ensuite bedroom, dominated by a w

Chapter: Chapter 2 : Introduction Suzzane looked around with her mind wandering around the questions in her head. She delved into the powers of her mind to know how to roll on as the new personality.First, knew that she needed a mirror, to know what she looked like but there was none. "Are you okay now?" Mia asked and Suzanne nodded. She needed to be Nalita Rossi, but she knew nothing about her. All that she knew was the new name, but nothing of her position or persona. Confused, she closed her eyes and immediately, she felt a strange sensation within her. A mechanical voice emerged, devoid of any emotion, speaking directly into her mind. SYSTEM: Hello, Subject XX 014.Suzanne's curiosity was piqued as she listened intently to the voice. She cautiously opened her eyes, scanning the room to ensure no one else was speaking. The nurse continued with her duties, seemingly unaware of the voice that resonated within Suzzane. The voice was akin to the same voice that introduced her to the system and Suzanne kept her mi

Chapter: Chapter 1: Unexpected moment"Nalita!" she heard her name as though it was from afar off. Who could it be? She opened her eyes and before her was a man, his heavy cut on the forehead was the first thing she saw, then the beard which was a mix of black, white, and golden hairs, and then the beads of perspiration mixed with blood on his forehead. "Oh I thought I lost you forever," the man said. Suzzane stared at the enigmatic figure and wriggled her head to both sides, trying to know where she was; heaven or hell? Or another fantasy world. Suzanne's head was throbbing as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. The unfamiliar face and the noise around her only added to her confusion. She mustered the strength to sit up, her gaze fixated on the stranger who had called her a name that wasn't hers."Who... who are you?" she managed to whisper, her voice trembling.The man's eyes welled up with tears, his voice choked with emotion. "Nalita, my dear, I thought I lost you forever," he said again, his voice quiveri
