Elena pov

Stephanie still trembled beside me as she finished speaking. Her eyes brimmed with tears, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Please don’t punish her,” she said, bowing. “She only wanted to help me.”

The room was silent. Tension hung in the air heavy, waiting for someone to break it.

And of course, the one to break it was.

The third seat holder, Darren’s father, sat forward in his stone chair, his expression a perfect blend of arrogance and disgust. His voice oozed with false civility.

“How convenient,” he said coolly, folding his hands. “Tears and timing. Seems the servant girl knows exactly when to cry. And how loudly.”

Stephanie flinched.

I took a breath. How dear him I guess like father like son

Nope. Couldn’t hold it.

“You know,” I said loudly, “for someone in a power seat, you’re remarkably tone-deaf.”

Heads turned. Jarrek’s did, too—slowly, like I’d personally offended his throne.

“Excuse me?” he said sharply.

“Oh, you heard me,” I said, voice steady. “Your son atta

    Evelyn’s POV The air was thick with tension, the metallic scent of blood lingering as the guards carried Sophia away. Her cries echoed through the palace walls like a ghostly reminder of everything that had happened tonight, everything I had caused. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, the weight of my sins pressing against my lungs until breathing felt like a punishment I didn’t deserve to escape. I stood frozen, watching her fragile body being dragged across the marble floor, her hair matted with sweat and tears. She was broken, but in that moment, I realized I was worse. At least Sophia had been a victim, I was the architect, the main engineer of this chaos. The one who championed evil, nurtured it, and let it flourish under my command. A sharp sting tore through my throat as guilt consumed me whole. James, my beloved son, my pride, my reason for living, is gone. Buried under the very weight of my greed and ambition. I thought I was paving a golden path for him, but instead, I

    Sophia POV When we thought everything was over when the dust had finally begun to settle and silence loomed over the broken palace, then a sudden whistle pierced the air. My eyes darted up, catching a glint of silver slicing through the wind. A flying arrow. It aimed straight for Evelyn. No!!! Lykan's voice roared like thunder as he lunged forward, grabbing Evelyn just in time and rolling them both away. The arrow struck the marble floor with a loud crack, embedding itself where her heart would have been. Gasps echoed across the courtyard. I blinked. My heart thundered against my ribs. Then… slow, mocking applause. Clap. Clap. Clap... Happy revealing of the truth, I said, stepping into the open, letting my boots echo against the stone floor with each bold stride. My palms stung from the force of my claps, but I relished the weight of every gaze now locked on me. What a performance. Bravo, truly... Mila flinched. Tell me more, little Mila, I hissed, voice like venom. What do

    Elena POV I knew he would come for me. The moment I saw Lykan standing tall amidst the smoke and broken walls, blood on his armor and fire in his eyes, I smiled. It wasn’t just love; it was something deeper, his presence alone awakened the dormant beast inside me. My wolf stirred for the first time in days, responding to the magnetic pull of our bond. Maybe it was the bond, maybe it was fate, or maybe both. The battle had ended or so it seemed. The palace courtyard that once shimmered with opulence was now a ruin of broken pillars, fallen warriors, and blood-soaked flags. Some guards lay dead, some surrendered, and others had run away like frightened rats abandoning a sinking ship. And at the center of it all, kneeling in the rubble like a dethroned empress, was Evelyn. Queen Mother. Once she stood tall, commanding fear and obedience. Now, her crown lay shattered somewhere in the dirt, and the only thing she had left was her pride and even that was cracked. I stepped forward s

    EVELYN POV Bravo... The word slipped from my lips, soft but sharp, laced with a strange cocktail of mockery and admiration. Blood stained the palace floors, bodies of the fallen littered across the courtyard like wilted petals after a storm. Bravo, warriors... You fought well. But you’ve only awakened a darker wrath. I took a step forward, my heels crunching against broken tiles soaked in the blood of guards and traitors alike. My eyes burned, not with tears, but with fire, the fire of vengeance. Did you hear that voice, Mila whispered beside Elena, her voice trembling with fear. Then I spoke loud, fierce, and sharp enough to silence the night. You both killed my son and you still have the guts to remain in this palace? They turned, Mila's eyes dark like an alleyway holding secrets. Elena, head raised high, yet I saw the twitch in her lips, the shake in her fingers. You don’t fear anymore, do you? I said, taking measured steps down the staircase of the royal balcony. You t

    Mila’s POV The scent of blood was thick in the air, stronger than ever before. It wasn’t just the stench, it was the memories it pulled out of me. Dark ones, painful ones, I stood there, frozen, watching James on the verge of death, his blood soaking the once-royal robes he wore with pride. It trickled down his side, staining the cracked floor beneath him, yet his eyes remained on me, haunted and desperate. With his breath raspy and shallow, James looked at me as though seeing a ghost. His lips trembled as he choked on his own blood. You’ve been… in this palace for so long, he wheezed. Why… why didn’t you ever tell me that Maria was your mother??? I clenched my fists. Tell you??? Tell you??? Tell you what exactly??? I felt the heat of rage rush to my chest as I took a step forward, voice cracking in fury. Tell you what, James? So you could do to me what you did to her? So you could kill me too, just like you murdered my mother in cold blood? He blinked slowly

    Elena POV The battlefield reeked of blood, steel, and burnt earth. The sounds of distant fighting still echoed beyond the palace walls, but in this moment, everything around me quieted as my eyes met Lykan’s. He smiled, his face bruised yet radiant with love and relief. Slowly, he reached out, fingers intertwining with mine. Thanks for standing with me, I whispered, barely able to keep the tears at bay. Through thick and thin… You never left my side, Lykan. You’ve been my shield, my strength… even when I was falling apart. His thumb brushed gently across my knuckles. And you, Elena… You held me together when I had nothing left to believe in. You were my light in the darkness, don’t ever forget that. I leaned into him slightly, feeling his warmth and the familiar pull that always drew me to him. A powerful energy buzzed between us, our bond, sealed under the blood moon and strengthened by everything we had endured together. Suddenly, the moment was interrupted. Elena! Mila’s v
