***

~~LYRIC VAELGOR~~

***

Was it really too much to ask for a single day of peace in this kingdom?

It was one mistake. One tiny, impulsive decision to escape the four walls of my glorified prison cell called a bedroom for some fresh air and bloodshed. And yes—fine—maybe everything went downhill after that. But it wasn’t entirely my fault. If the demon prince had warned me that my blood was some sort of demon booster, maybe I’d have been more cautious when stabbing that trainee in the arena.

Maybe.

What was he so mad about anyway? I had expected him to be pissed, of course. He always was. Anger looked natural on him, like a second skin. But this? This level of wrath? The kind of rage that made his magic crackle, that made the walls tremble? That was new. And completely uncalled for.

I didn't die.

“Put me down,” I said. “I’ve done nothing wrong.”

His grip loosened, to my surprise, letting me land on my feet. But he didn't release me. Those strong, rough hands lingered, holding

  • Betrayed Werewolf Princess: The Demon Prince's Pet   CHAPTER 042: The King Has To Die

    *** ~~LYRIC VAELGOR~~ *** The monster was coming for me, and I was still in chains. My wrists burned. The cuffs had dug deep into the flesh, metal biting with every twitch of movement. Same for my ankles—rubbed raw from all the thrashing. I pulled again. Harder. My muscles screamed. My back arched against the cold iron table beneath me. But nothing gave. I was trapped. And he was still coming. The Khra’gixx had completed his shift, and what stood in front of me now was no longer a man. It was a creature made of hate and magic and violence. His body was grotesquely massive—his shoulders brushed the arch of the ceiling, and his claws pointed out like hooked blades. His eyes were pits of black. He smiled, and it wasn't a cute smile. I tried to scream, but my voice caught. Then it began—whispers. First low. Then louder. Two of them. Inside me. One cold. Quiet. ‘Lie still.’ ‘This is what you were born for. A vessel doesn’t fight. A vessel accepts.’ The second voice was wilde

    *** ~~ZEPHIRA MALZARETH~~ *** High Alpha Tiberan Vaelgor’s daughter, Mae, had been in that tub for almost two hours, driving me mad. I’d been sitting in the far corner of the chamber, legs crossed, fingers twitching against the velvet of my robe. She didn’t even seem to notice. Or maybe she did. Maybe that was the point. I’d reminded her at least a dozen times that we had guests arriving soon. She just kept slipping deeper beneath the perfumed water, steam curling around her. This is the price of alliances, I told myself. The price of playing the long game. The price of power. Her head lolled back against the rim of the tub. Her lips were parted, breath coming in slow, steady puffs. Her hands— Gods. I stood. “Seriously?” I asked. “As much as I’d enjoy watching you masturbate at any other time, we have a meeting in a couple of minutes. A very important meeting with a very important man. I didn’t announce to the kingdom that I prefer women and accept your father’s curs

    ***~~CALIX MALZARETH~~*** My hands were wrapped around Lorcan's throat, and his body was swinging halfway out the window of his chambers.“Let him go, Calix,” Mira begged behind me, her voice shaking. “It wasn’t his fault.”Lorcan grunted, blood trailing from his nose down to his lips. One of his eyes was already swelling shut. I had punched him three times before I even spoke. Maybe more. I wasn’t counting. I didn’t care.“Tell me where she is,” I growled, tightening my grip, “or I swear to the ancestors and the gods, even the goddess of Velmira, that I will throw you off this window, and your head will get to the ground before your body.”“I don’t know,” Lorcan croaked, his fingernails digging into my wrist.I shifted my hold and shoved him forward another inch. His feet scrabbled on the windowsill. Mira screamed.“You’re lying,” I hissed. “You rigged the lottery in Father’s favor.”“Because he’s the king! And he asked me to!”“We had a deal.”“I know you’re scary,” he gasped, hi

  • Betrayed Werewolf Princess: The Demon Prince's Pet   CHAPTER 039: I Hope You Win

    I woke up with a pounding headache.And pain.The first thing I registered was the aching stretch of my limbs. My arms and legs were pulled tight, splayed out in an X. Metal cuffs bit into my wrists and ankles. The table beneath me was cold, and it felt like iron. Heavy. Brutal. Like it had seen a thousand prisoners before me.My throat was dry. My lips were cracked. My head throbbed, a dull, pulsing echo behind my eyes.I realized soon enough that something sharp was on my arm.My body jerked against the restraints.“Lie still, wolf,” came a voice.Revka.Her face appeared above me, framed in shadows. Her mouth was flat, her eyes empty. Cold.“It will hurt less if you do.”My vision swam. I could feel something burning through my veins. A thick pull. Like my blood was being siphoned straight out of me.“Where am I?” I asked. My voice was barely more than a whisper.“Somewhere,” she said blandly.“You need to let me go.”“You’re not going anywhere anytime soon, Princess.”I blinked ag

    The next few seconds happened in a blur.Calix shoved me behind him so fast I nearly stumbled, his body coiling in front of mine like a shield. And then his sword was out. The sound of metal unsheathing sent silence through the room.All around us, guards flinched. Steel scraped in response.One by one, the king’s soldiers drew their blades, stepping forward. Boots marching against the stone floor echoed around the room, louder than they should have. The elites and royals who hadn’t left yet started backing away, their fine robes rustling like leaves caught in a gust.They were frightened. They should be.Calix’s blade was steady in his hand, his body taut with fury. But I knew that if he made a single wrong move, they’d all come for him. Even his own guards would come too. Yes, they were as alert as they should be to protect their commander.But still, in the end, the king was the grand commander of the Khra'gixxian army.This wasn’t just a prince versus a kingdom.This was a prince

  • Betrayed Werewolf Princess: The Demon Prince's Pet   CHAPTER 037: Bring It Forward

    I felt the king's stare like a claw digging into my spine, but I didn’t flinch. I leaned into Calix instead, lifting my chin. Let him look.When Lorcan had rattled off the rules earlier, he’d mentioned that the royal family had to draw last, as some sort of show of leadership.Lucky us.I scanned the room again, taking in the other Khra’gixxes with the royal markings.Some were old, their bodies shriveled and hunched.Some were young, looking almost as terrified as the invaders they were supposed to claim.Others looked somewhere in between—middle-aged and cold-eyed, ready to add new blood to their aging lines.Cousins. Uncles. Grandparents. And so on.The lucky invaders were the ones picked by one of the old Khra'gixxes. A wrinkled, broken thing would be too tired to use them properly.I watched the royal members step up one after the other to pick from the baskets.One by one, names were drawn. One by one, the invaders were claimed.But somehow—miraculously—Mae was still there.Stil
