Finally Divorced, I’m the Wolf Queen Now Chapter23
The coronation falls on the first clear morning of spring, and I wake before dawn the way I used to when Damon's household still ran on my schedule alone, except this time nobody needs me to be awake yet. I lie there a while just breathing, Lucien's arm heavy across my waist, and let myself feel the strange calm of a day I've been building toward without fully realizing it.Wren bursts in an hour later anyway, too excited to let either of us sleep in."It's today," she announces, as if we could have possibly forgotten. "You're actually going to be Wolf King.""Wolf Queen, technically," Griffin corrects from the doorway, already dressed, "though I've told her a dozen times the title doesn't actually change.""It's tradition," my father says, appearing behind him, leaning less on his cane these days than he did months ago. "The North has only ever called its ruler Wolf King, regardless of who sits the throne. Elara can change that herself, once it's hers to change.""I like Wolf King fi

I wake the morning of the ceremony to sunlight pouring through the windows and Wren already bouncing on the edge of my bed, practically vibrating with excitement she's been saving up for weeks."You have to get up. Grandpa's downstairs already, and the tailors are here for your dress, and Uncle Griffin won't stop asking if he can walk you down the aisle even though that's not even how bonding ceremonies work—""Breathe," I tell her, laughing, pulling her into a hug before she can list off the rest of it in one breath. "We have time."We don't, really. The morning disappears fast, fittings and flowers and my father fussing over seating arrangements he insists on overseeing personally despite three separate staff members telling him it's handled. By the time the sun starts sinking toward the western towers, I stand in front of the mirror in a gown the color of moonlight, nothing like the ivory I wore the first time, nothing borrowed, nothing performed for anyone else's benefit.My fathe

Elara’s povI watch something in him brace, then falter, uncertain, and I let the silence stretch before I finish."Damon Kade, you're stripped of all title, all land, all claim to the Obsidian pack or any pack under this crown's protection. You're exiled from every territory allied with the northern throne, effective immediately. You will build nothing here again. You will belong nowhere your name still means something."His face goes white, whiter than when the guards found him."Elara." My name comes out broken. "Please, just let me explain, let me make this right somehow, I'll do anything—""You had five years to make it right." I keep my voice level, steady, the same stillness Lucien drilled into me over weeks of dawn runs and split knuckles. "You chose a stone for your son instead of your daughter. You chose silk that belonged to someone else instead of me. You chose your own name over every consequence that came with it, right up until it cost my father his blood on his own bir

Damon’s povI don't make it past the second night before the walls of my own territory start closing in around me.My father won't answer his door. My mother sends a servant to tell me she's resting, though I hear her voice through the wall clear enough to know it's a lie. The staff who used to greet me by name now find reasons to be elsewhere the second I walk into a room, and by the third day even Seraphine's stopped answering my calls, holed up somewhere I haven't bothered tracking down.I hide in the old hunting cabin at the edge of pack land, the one place I'm certain nobody thinks to look, and I tell myself it's temporary. A few weeks. Long enough for the manhunt to lose momentum, for the Wolf King's fury to cool into something reasonable.It doesn't cool. If anything, it spreads.Word reaches me through a cousin brave enough to bring supplies, that every neighboring pack has been notified, that harboring me now carries consequences serious enough that even families who owe my f

Damon’s povI stand outside my father in law's study for a full minute before I make myself open the door, my hand hovering over the handle, my pulse loud enough that I'm certain someone in the hall must hear it. This is wrong. I know it's wrong. I tell myself it anyway, that a photograph of a few pages isn't theft, not really, that a man protecting his family's business can be forgiven a small trespass if it means keeping the roof over their heads.I don't believe myself. I go in anyway.The plans sit exactly where the staff mentioned, locked in the desk but the key left carelessly in a drawer above it, and my hands shake pulling the pages loose, shake worse raising the camera to photograph them. I keep glancing at the door between shots, certain each creak in the hallway is someone coming to catch me, my breath shallow enough that I have to force myself to keep still long enough for the images to focus.I'm three pages in when the door opens behind me."Care to explain yourself?"I

Damon’s povThe final contract falls through on a Wednesday morning, my third major trade partner in a month pulling out with the same polite, empty language the others used before him. By noon my accountant confirms what I've known for weeks and refused to say out loud: without those three accounts, the business doesn't survive the quarter.My mother finds out before I get the chance to tell her myself."You did this." She corners me in the hallway, voice shaking with something past anger, closer to grief. "You had everything, Damon. A wife who ran this household better than any Luna I've ever known, a business that ran itself because she made sure it did, and you threw all of it away for a woman who can't even hold a household together.""That's not fair.""Isn't it?" She gestures toward the kitchen behind her, and I follow her down the hall to find out what she means.The kitchen looks like a storm passed through it. Dishes stacked unwashed in the sink, spilled flour dusting the co
