Chapter 5

Author: scorpio
Lucas turned white, as if he'd seen a ghost. He stared at me, then at my neck. It was smooth and unmarked.

"You... you cut out the mark yourself?!" he roared, his voice shrill with panic.

He knew it was a suicidal way to break a mark, one that even high-ranking witches wouldn't dare try. One wrong move would destroy my soul.

Chloe shrieked and hid behind him. "She's crazy! Lucas, she's a monster! Kill her!"

"Serena! You're openly defying the Alpha's authority!" Lucas took a deep breath and tried

  • Alpha Mate Had a Secret Son with an Omega, I Became the Queen   Chapter 9

    One year later.Under my iron rule and the power of my ancient bloodline, the pack thrived as never before.I strengthened our defenses, brought my mother's family's mines fully into the pack, and built the strongest werewolf army.No other pack dared to covet our land. Lords who once looked down on us now gauged my mood before making a move.The man who'd tried to drain me with dark magic had become a joke within the pack. Even children refused to mention him.Hundreds of miles away lay the barren Rogue Wastelands, where poisonous winds blew sand all day.There, a ragged human man with a twisted spine dragged himself along the ground, digging through garbage for rotten scraps of food.Frostbite and scratches covered his face, and his eyes were dull. Nothing remained of the pride he'd once had as an Alpha.It was Lucas.Without his werewolf blood and power, he fared worse in the Wastelands than the lowest drifter.He dug half a piece of moldy bread from a discarded can. Before he could

    I turned to face the pack and gave my first order in a quiet voice no one dared defy."Strip Lucas, Chloe, and their son of their place in the pack. Destroy every last bit of werewolf power left in them, and banish them forever to the Rogue Wastelands, the most barren place there is. Anyone who helps them in secret will share their punishment!""No! You can't do this! I'm the leader! I'm the Alpha!" Lucas screamed in despair, but with his spine broken, he couldn't even crawl.The guards no longer hesitated. They stepped forward and dragged Lucas and Chloe away like dead dogs.Chloe kept cursing and screaming. Lucas seemed to realize that nothing could be undone. He fell silent as the guards dragged him away, leaving a trail of blood on the stone.Once those three had been dealt with, the Council of Elders gathered around me.They feared my Ancient White Wolf power, but tradition ran deep. They still tried to take control."Lady Serena, you've rooted out the traitor and saved the pack."

    With Lucas defeated, a heavy silence fell over the plaza.Only the wind hissed across the ice shards.I withdrew my aura, shifted back into human form, and stood in my bloodstained dress again.I looked down at Lucas, twitching and foaming at the mouth in pain. Then I turned to Chloe, who'd collapsed in terror and forgotten to run.Without Lucas to protect her, Chloe couldn't maintain her false beauty or her haughty manner.The dark magic sustaining her was cut off completely. Fueled by her terror, the backlash hit her all at once.Her blond hair turned gray and brittle before our eyes, falling out in clumps.Her once-smooth skin shriveled like dry bark. In minutes, she aged 30 years and became a hideous old woman.Her five-year-old son's growth had been unnaturally accelerated with my life force, and his body couldn't handle the sudden loss of that power. He howled in pain.The boy rolled on the ground, his body twisting out of shape, until he lost his mind and devolved into a mindles

    A Blood Duel was the oldest, most sacred, and most brutal law among werewolves.Once called, it could end only in death or total surrender. No one could intervene in that sacred arena. Not even the Council of Elders."You've got a death wish!" Lucas was furious and humiliated. He leaped to his feet despite the pain in his shattered hand.He saw himself as a strong Alpha in his prime. To him, I'd always been a weak Luna who couldn't fight, a woman who only grew flowers and brewed tea.He didn't believe a woman who'd just cut out her mark and lost so much blood could face him head-on.He let out a savage roar. His body swelled in midair, his fur bristled, and his bones cracked. In an instant, he became a massive wolf shrouded in an ominous black aura.The black wolf opened its huge jaws and lunged for my throat, its foul breath washing over me.Behind him, Chloe screamed in excitement, as if she could already see me torn apart. "Tear her up, Lucas! Rip her to pieces!"I didn't dodge the

Lucas took a deep breath and tried to steady himself.He unleashed the Alpha aura he was so proud of and barked an order at the guards."Seize this crazy woman who betrayed the pack!"But none of the hundreds of elite guards in the plaza dared to move.To their horror, they couldn't lift their feet. The power of my ancient bloodline held them in place, trembling. They couldn't even raise their heads to meet my eyes.I climbed the steps to the stage, ignoring Lucas's rage.I pulled a thick stack of papers and the vial holding the

  • Alpha Mate Had a Secret Son with an Omega, I Became the Queen   Chapter 4

    The moment the holy water touched the fake mark, pain burned through my soul and pierced every nerve like thousands of red-hot needles.I bit down hard on my lip until I tasted blood.I made no sound. With the holy-water-soaked silver blade, I cut into my own skin. Bit by bit, I peeled the rotting flesh that reeked of dark magic away from the artery in my neck.This pain was worse than any wound I'd ever taken in battle.The dark magic seemed alive. It thrashed under the silver blade, fighting to burrow back into my veins.I kept seeing Lucas as he'd been five years earlier, kissing my neck in the moonlight as he planted this deadly curse with his sweetest lies.He'd poisoned me with lies. Now I was cutting that poison out myself.Rip!When I finally cut the last black vessel holding it in place, foul black blood sprayed out.The rune-marked flesh dropped to the cold floor with a sickening hiss, then crumbled into black ash as the holy water took effect.This was the backlash from forc
