The figure in the Northern Forest opened his golden eyes.

And every wolf inside the palace began to howl.

The sound ripped through the night like a warning from the dead.

I froze.

For one heartbeat, I forgot about Damon, the Shadow King, the shattered Moonstone, and the black flames still burning inside the wedding hall.

Then Cassian stepped in front of me.

His body became a wall between me and the open palace doors.

“Stay behind me.”

His voice was calm.

Too calm.

I looked past his shoulder.

    “My sister.”The words followed me long after the guard collapsed.I stood in the palace courtyard, staring at the unconscious man while the entire kingdom seemed to hold its breath.My sister.I had spent my entire life believing I was alone.My mother.My father.That was all.I had never known another Blood Moon heir existed.Never known there could be someone who shared my blood.Someone who could call me sister.Cassian stood beside me.His hand was still wrapped around mine.“Seraphine.”I looked at him.“What?”“We need to get inside.”I shook my head.“No.”His brows drew together.“I need answers.”“So do I.”“We’ll get them.”I looked down at the guard.The silver mark on his chest had disappeared.But the words remained burned into my mind.The Blood Moon family was not destroyed.They were hidden.And one of them is already inside your kingdom.I turned toward my father.“Why?”Alaric looked at me.“Why was I hidden?”His face tightened.“Seraphine…”“No.”I stepped toward

    The Gate whispered my name again.“Seraphine…”I opened my eyes.The room was empty.Cassian stood near the doorway, speaking quietly with the guards, but I could still feel the ancient presence beneath the palace.It was calling me.Waiting for me.And after what I had just learned, I no longer believed the Gate was simply a door.It was a prison.A weapon.And perhaps the grave of an entire bloodline.I looked at the diary burning in my memory.The five bloodlines.The five traitors.The five chains.And one missing bloodline.The Blood Moon family.I turned toward Alaric.“You said the Blood Moon line was hidden.”“Yes.”“But the diary says it was destroyed.”Alaric’s expression became serious.“Not exactly.”“Then tell me what happened.”He glanced at Cassian.Cassian immediately turned.“We’re listening.”Alaric walked toward the old shelves lining my mother’s room.He pulled out several ancient books.Dust fell from their covers.“These records were forbidden.”I frowned.“Why?”

    “I told you she would find the diary.”The voice came from the other side of the door.My blood froze.I knew that voice.I had heard it too many times to mistake it.“Rowan?”Cassian immediately moved in front of me.His sword was in his hand before the echo of the voice disappeared.Alaric stepped toward the door.“Stay back.”Cassian shook his head.“No.”The door suddenly exploded inward.Wood flew across the room.I raised my arm to shield my face.Cassian pulled me against his chest.When the dust cleared, Captain Rowan stood in the doorway.His sword was drawn.His face was pale.And there was blood running down his cheek.“Your Majesty.”Cassian stared at him.“Who attacked you?”Rowan looked behind him.“No one.”I frowned.“Then why are you bleeding?”He touched his cheek.“I don’t know.”Something about his answer made the hairs on my arms rise.Alaric stepped closer.“Where were you?”“Checking the northern corridor.”“Why?”Rowan looked at me.“Because someone was followi

    The Gate was waiting for me.I could feel it beneath the palace.It wasn’t a sound.It wasn’t a voice.It was a presence.Ancient.Patient.Hungry.I stood frozen with the Crown of the Blood Moon still in my hands.My mother’s voice had disappeared, but her final warning remained inside my head.Do not trust the man who wears your king’s face.I looked at Cassian.He was watching me carefully.“Your mother spoke to you?”I nodded.“She said she was where the first queen died.”Alaric’s expression changed.“You heard her clearly?”“Yes.”“What else?”“She told me you finally found the crown.”Alaric looked at the ancient crown in my hands.Then he whispered, “She knew.”“What?”“She knew you would find it.”Cassian stepped closer.“How?”Alaric didn’t answer.I stared at him.“You know something.”He sighed.“There are things your mother never told me.”“But you knew she was preparing me.”“I knew she was preparing you for something.”“That’s not the same thing.”“No.”His eyes dropped

  • My Alpha Husband Killed Me, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 31: The Blood Moon Queen

    The red moon hung above the mountains like an open wound.Thousands of golden eyes stared from the darkness beyond the palace.And the Shadow King’s voice still echoed through the kingdom.“You saved your king.”A pause.“Now watch me take your kingdom.”I stood beside Cassian, staring through the shattered palace doors.My heart was pounding.Not because I was afraid of the army outside.Because of the words that had been following me since the beginning.Blood Moon Queen.The Shadow King had called me that.The masked warriors had called me that.My mother’s letters had warned me about it.The Gate responded to it.And now the Shadow Kingdom had opened because of me.I turned toward my father.“Tell me what it means.”Alaric didn’t answer.“Father.”His eyes remained fixed on the red moon.“Not here.”“Why?”“Because there are things you need to know before you hear the rest.”Cassian stepped closer.“Then tell us everything.”Alaric looked at him.“You almost died tonight.”Cassian

  • My Alpha Husband Killed Me, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 30: Cassian Takes the Blade for Me

    The Gate opened beneath the palace.And the man wearing Cassian’s face smiled.For one terrible second, I couldn’t move.He looked exactly like my husband.Same black hair.Same sharp jaw.Same silver-gray eyes.Same voice.But he wasn’t Cassian.I knew it.Every instinct inside me screamed it.Cassian stepped in front of me.“Don’t come any closer.”The impostor tilted his head.“You always were protective of what belonged to you.”Cassian’s sword was already in his hand.“She doesn’t belong to anyone.”The impostor smiled.“That is not what the Gate believes.”The floor trembled.A deep crack spread beneath our feet.Black light poured from it.The ancient heartbeat returned.Boom.Boom.Boom.My blood responded immediately.Pain shot through my veins.I grabbed my arm.The silver mark burned.Cassian looked back at me.“Seraphine?”“I’m fine.”The lie barely left my mouth before the impostor moved.He disappeared.Cassian spun.Steel struck steel.The sound exploded through the hal
