Life at the palace fell into a comfortable, albeit chaotic, routine.

Saturday mornings were for combat training. Killian insisted on teaching Lucian himself in the private training grounds behind the Forbidden Wing.

I sat on the veranda, sipping tea, watching my handsome husband teach my golden son how to throw a punch. Nyx sat at my feet, drawing in a sketchbook with black charcoal.

"Again, Lucian," Killian instructed patiently. "Don't just use your arm. Use your core. You are a Royal; your po

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King    Chapter 134: The Shattered Blood Throne

    Above the Whispering Crypts, the Grand Ballroom of the Sanguine Palace was a vision of morbid opulence.Hundreds of pureblood vampires, the oldest and most depraved in Europe, were gathered beneath chandeliers made of enchanted bone and weeping rubies. They were celebrating. They were dressed in silks and velvets, sipping the finest vintages of 'Shadow-Infused' blood, waiting for the Progenitors to present their greatest prize: the heart of the Shadow Queen.At the far end of the hall, on a dais of obsidian, sat the three Progenitors—The Trinity of Sires. They looked like statues of marble, their eyes closed in a meditative trance as they prepared for the ritual of Ascension.And standing just below the dais, looking pale and ghostly in the dim light, was Valerius."My Sires," Valerius spoke, his voice echoing through the silent, expectant room. "The darkness has settled. The hound Cyprian has secured the vault. The Queen is... contained."The eldest Sire, a woman with skin like crack

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King   Chapter 133: Whispers of the Shadow Lycan

    The liquid silver chains binding Killian didn't just melt; they shrieked.As my volcanic fury turned the obsidian floor into a sea of slag, the soul-binding magic within the silver began to evaporate into a toxic, glittering mist. But the damage had been done. The silver had etched deep into Killian’s bones, trying to reject his solar fire.He wasn't dying, but he was changing.I saw the shadows—my shadows—react to his agony. Instead of protecting him from the heat, the Void tendrils flowing from my First Crown began to dive into his open wounds, merging with his silver fur and his golden blood.Killian let out a roar that wasn't a wolf's cry, nor a man's scream. It was a sound of a universe collapsing.His twelve-foot silver form began to warp. The incandescent solar light was swallowed by an abyssal, shifting darkness. His fur turned from brilliant silver to a terrifying, light-absorbing obsidian black. The golden runes on his chest didn't vanish; they turned a lethal, glowing viole

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King    Chapter 132: The Fire Beneath the Ice

    The darkness was a physical weight, pressing against my absolute, total powerlessness.For the first time since ascending as the Warden of the Void, the First Crown was silent. The ancient skull-crypts had not only drained my starlight but were now siphoning the conceptual energy of my body. I was freezing, my mortal form reverting to the frail human girl I used to be."Do you feel it, little Queen?" Cyprian’s voice echoed, devoid of a body, swirling in the black. "The earth here belongs to the Sires. It will not answer your stolen sky magic."In the distance, the sound of standard wolf claws raking against stone echoed—a sound of raw, desperate agony. Killian. The liquid silver chains were tightening, eating through his skin to lock directly onto his skeleton, cutting off his connection to the sun."He cannot save you," the low low, smooth voice continued, mocking. "Valerius has already left to prepare the feast. You are alone."A cold knot of rage formed in my chest, a tiny spark in

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King    Chapter 131: The Whispering Crypts

    The cavern behind the waterfall wasn't just damp; it felt like stepping into the lungs of a dying god. The walls were lined with thousands of ancient, crystalline skulls that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic violet light—the Whispering Crypts.Every step we took echoed with a thousand overlapping murmurs, the residual memories of vampires who had been executed by the Progenitors over two millennia."Valerius," Killian growled, his golden eyes scanning the ceiling where massive stalactites dripped with a thick, crimson fluid. "You said this was a shortcut. You didn't mention it was a goddamn graveyard.""It's a sanctuary for those the Sires forgotten," Valerius whispered, his face pale as he looked at the skulls. "Or it was... when I left.""Welcome home, little traitor," the voice echoed again, seemingly coming from the very stone itself.A figure stepped out from behind a massive, rib-like pillar. He was tall, gaunt, and wore a high-collared Victorian frock coat that looked like it was

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King   Chapter 130: The Breaking of the Crimson Soul

    The waterfall behind the Crimson Knight didn't sound like water; it sounded like the rhythmic weeping of a thousand lost souls, its crimson-tinted spray misting the obsidian armor of our executioner.The third Knight raised his black claymore. The weapon didn't just catch the light; it ate it."You smell of starlight and wet fur," the Knight’s voice rattled inside his helmet, a sound like dry bone scraping on metal. "A Queen of ghosts and a King of dogs. Neither shall leave the Silent Dominion.""Funny," Killian rumbled, his golden Alpha runes glowing so brightly they began to singe the air. "I was just thinking your armor would make a decent trash can."Killian launched.He didn't shift, but his speed was post-human. He met the Knight’s obsidian claymore with his flaming broadsword in a collision that sent a shockwave through the gorge, momentarily reversing the flow of the waterfall. Sparks of solar fire and black soul-flame rained down like a deadly celebration.CLANG. CRACK. ROAR.

  • My Sweetest Revenge: Sleeping with the Alpha King   Chapter 129: Death Race in the Hunting Grounds

    The scent of ozone and scorched earth was the only thing keeping the toxic fog of the Blood Forest at bay. But as the last of the Gloom-Stalkers turned to ash, a new sound began to vibrate through the iron-like roots beneath our feet.It wasn't the clicking of mandibles. It was the rhythmic, heavy thundering of hooves.Clop. Clop. Clop.From the crimson depths of the forest, three silhouettes emerged, silhouetted against the dying embers of my magma fire. They were massive, clad in ornate, blood-stained silver armor that seemed to pulse with a heartbeat of its own. They rode nightmarish steeds—beasts of shadow and exposed bone, their eyes glowing with the same corrupted red light as the Progenitors."The Crimson Knights," Valerius hissed, his voice trembling as he leaned against a charred pine. "The Sires' personal executioners. They don't track by scent, Killian. They track by the resonance of your soul.""Then I'll give them a soul they can't handle," Killian snarled.He didn't shif

    The crimson eyes in the canyon didn't just blink; they seemed to ignite, casting a blood-red hue over the ash-grey snow of the Ever-Dark.A low growl reverberated through the ground, vibrating up my legs and shaking the marrow in my bones. From the depths of the abyss emerged a behemoth. It wasn't

    The massive obsidian hound lowered its three heads, allowing us to slide off its ashen back. The ash-grey snow crunched beneath our boots as we approached the broken steps of the 13th Temple.The figure in the starlight cloak didn't move. The fabric of their garment seemed to be woven from the actu

    Stepping through the white stone doors, the oppressive weight of the Ever-Dark vanished completely.We weren't in a hidden chamber. We had stepped into a boundless, miniature galaxy. Beneath our boots was a surface of perfectly still, black water that mirrored the brilliant Milky Way above. Suspend

    As the heavy obsidian doors groaned shut behind us, the biting chill of the Ever-Dark was finally cut off. But the inside of the 13th Temple offered no sanctuary. Instead of torches, the walls were lined with ancient runes emitting a pale, ghostly luminescence. Floating within that pale light were
