Chapter 19

Author: Crystal K
Two soul-shattering screams tore through the other end of the hall.

They were howls of absolute, bottomless despair.

Tristan and Ronan’s bodies began to tremble violently, as if an invisible force was ripping them apart, shred by shred.

The Moon Goddess's curse had fully erupted.

"No... no... it wasn't supposed to be like this..."

Tristan crawled toward us with his last bit of strength, his fingers leaving bloody streaks on the floor.

His wolf soul was being forcibly torn from him, a pain beyond any torture.

"Lucia... please... look back at us... just once..."

But I didn't look back.

I stood there calmly, letting Maxim place the crown of supreme power on my head.

"No! She was supposed to be our queen!" Ronan let out a final roar. "That was supposed to be our future!"

He tried to stand, to rush over and stop it all.

But his body no longer obeyed him.

Black blood poured from his eyes, nose, and mouth—the sign of a completely shattered wolf soul.

"We were supposed to... have everything...

    "Did you think killing Tristan and Ronan was the end of it?"She stumbled toward the altar, her eyes burning with a mad hatred."I'm going to kill you! I'm going to destroy everything you have, just like you destroyed everything I had!"The crowd gasped and backed away.But I didn't move.I just watched the woman who had once tormented me.She was no longer the beautiful, noble she-wolf.After losing her wolf soul, she had become a mere human.Three months in the wilderness had ravaged her.Her hair was matted, her clothes in tatters, her eyes filled with nothing but madness and despair."You want to kill me?" I asked softly. "Looking like that?""I... I still have this!" she brandished the dagger. "It's made of silver! It can kill any werewolf!"I offered her a small, pitying smile. "You forgot one crucial detail, Arabella. I am the Queen now."The moment the words left my mouth, the gems on the Moon Goddess's Crown erupted in a brilliant light.The holy beam engulfed Arabella.She le

  • My Mate’s Shadow in My Bed   Chapter 20

    Three months later.In the ancient Moonlight Temple, thousands of candles were lit.Tonight, the European Werewolf Alliance would witness its grandest Mating Ceremony in history.Alphas from every major pack had gathered, all waiting for the coronation of their new queen.I stood in the temple's antechamber, looking at my reflection.I wore the legendary gown woven from moonlight, every thread glowing with a silver light.My hair, now a river of silver and black, seemed to drink in the candlelight. It was a scar earned in battle, and I wore it like a crown."Nervous?"Maxim came up behind me, smiling at me in the mirror.He wore a formal black suit, the emblem of the Lycan King pinned to his chest."Not at all." I turned to face him. "I was just thinking, if someone had told me three years ago that I would be standing here...""What would you have done?"I remembered the woman running in despair through the rainy night.The mother crying in a pool of her own blood.The pathetic creatur

    Maxim held me steady, his golden eyes shining with undisguised joy and deep affection.He looked at me as if I were the most precious treasure in the world."Lucia," he began, his voice low and solemn. "I came here today to thank you for saving my people."I looked at him, a warmth spreading through my chest.This man had been by my side since my darkest hour.He never asked for anything in return, never tried to possess me. He just quietly protected and supported me."But now, the Moon Goddess has given us this miracle." He looked at the shimmering mate bond between us. "I can no longer remain silent."Suddenly, this powerful Lycan King dropped to one knee in front of everyone.Gasps echoed through the hall.The staff of the Healers' Guild stared in shock.The most powerful Alpha in Europe was kneeling before a woman."Maxim, you..." I tried to pull him up."Let me finish," he said gently, taking an exquisite velvet box from his pocket.The box opened slowly. Inside rested a dazzling

    With that, I turned to leave.But Ronan suddenly crawled forward and clung to my leg."Don't go! Please don't go!" he cried, his voice heart-wrenching. "Lucia!" Tristan stumbled over. "I know we hurt you! I know we don't deserve forgiveness!""We... we were blinded back then..." Tristan said, trembling. "We thought you really bullied Bella...""Blinded?" I sneered. "An Alpha who doesn't believe his own mate, but believes the lies of an outsider?""An Alpha who personally poisons his own child and now tells me he was blinded?"I walked toward them, each step carrying a suffocating pressure.The two men were collapsing to the floor."We... we'll pay any price..." Tristan choked out. "Even our lives..."Just then, footsteps approached from the other end of the hall.I turned to see a tall figure walking toward us.Golden eyes, a perfect profile, and that innate kingly aura.It was Maxim.He walked over, his face grim, and glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the floor."Are these the

    Three days later, I woke up in the Healers' Guild infirmary.Sunlight streamed through the window, warm on my face.I sat up slowly. My body felt weak, but my heart was fuller than ever.A nurse rushed over to check on me."Master Lucia! You're finally awake!" she said excitedly. "You've been unconscious for three days!""How is the border?" I asked, concerned."Everyone has recovered!" The nurse's eyes were full of admiration. "You saved three thousand lives! The entire European werewolf community is praying for you!"I nodded, a warm feeling spreading through me.This was the life I wanted.Not to be owned, not to be shamed, but to truly make a difference."You need more rest," the nurse continued. "The doctor said your life force is severely depleted. You'll need at least a month to recover."I touched my hair.The woman in the mirror looked much older, her hair a mix of black and silver.But I had no regrets.This white hair was a medal for the lives I had saved.A week later, I wa
