~Arineth~ I knew something was up when I saw Alexa rush into the throne room where I was having a meeting with the kings from the other kingdoms. Immediately, I jumped to my feet and cast a glance at her. “What is happening?” I asked, even though I was already aware of what she was about to repo
~Arineth~ The silence went on for so long, and the first person to break it was Eiraeth. He angrily rushed towards me and grabbed me by the collar of my robe. “What the hell do you even think you are demanding, alpha king!” he yelled at me. I smirked at him but didn't fight him because I was p
~Lyrielle~ “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” The voices of the werewolves that had gathered at the execution grew as my Family and I were dragged to the arena. Rough hands shoved me forward, and I winced in pain as the ropes around my wrists and ankles scratched my flawless skin, leaving behind a
~Lyrielle~ My eyes fluttered open to a blinding light stabbing into them. It was as sharp as a blade, and I quickly closed my eyes to adjust to the brightness. This was the netherworld; I was sure of it. I remembered the fire claiming me, and I should be dead, but then, as I shifted, I felt the sof
~Lyrielle~ “Where are we going?” I indulged the masked woman in another conversation as she finished dressing the bandage around me, but I received no response. Instead, she draped a cloak around my body. It fell past my shoulders and covered my face. It was so large that I felt hidden, swallowed b
~Lyrielle~ My eyes widened in shock as I felt the betrayal’s knife twisting in my gut. I fell to my knees, the cloak pooling around me, covering my small frame. I couldn’t believe what I had seen. Daveth was alive, laughing with the crowd; Eiraeth was marrying Diana; the Luna Queen and the Alpha Ki
~Arineth~I grinned as I stared down the cliff watching Lyrielle fall. “Arineth, you bastard!” she screamed, her voice sharp before it dissolved into the gusts. My hands tingled from the shove I had given her. It was not to kill her but to scare her out of her wits. I still didn’t trust her, but I h
~Lyrielle~"Father," I cried out as I watched him fall to his knees, one moment standing, the next his head rolling on the ground. Why was I back here? This had happened before, yet I found myself returning to the time when my family had died, just standing there watching them perish. "Kale, Mother,
~Arineth~ The silence went on for so long, and the first person to break it was Eiraeth. He angrily rushed towards me and grabbed me by the collar of my robe. “What the hell do you even think you are demanding, alpha king!” he yelled at me. I smirked at him but didn't fight him because I was p

~Lyrielle/Elyriah~ Everything was working just as I wanted, and they were falling for it. I had announced that the after party would take place at the castle, and I couldn’t be prouder of what I had planned. When I reached the castle in the carriage ride alone, my heart thrummed with anticipation,
“But we have encountered more war than they have ever had,” he heaved a deep sigh. “If only that boy was here, then maybe he would have put himself to use and helped us fight against the faeries.” I knew he was talking about Arineth. After all, he was the son that was used to wage war, and Arineth h
Daveth heaved a deep sigh and placed a hand on his beating chest. “I fear for our lives if she is truly alive because we had wronged her. We had…” “Enough!” I shouted at him and slapped his face. “She is dead! That woman we just saw is the fae queen! I do not want you to breathe another word of thi
~Eiraeth~ It can’t be her; that was what I had told myself when I saw the veil be lifted up. Everyone had the same look on their faces because no one was expecting to see Lyrielle’s lookalike. She was gone and didn’t exist anymore, but this woman, the fae queen, bears so much resemblance that it w
My father turned around and quickly lowered his head even before I spoke up. “It is my fault for not teaching my family properly, and this has made them take the king’s mate as someone they know.” I knew he was going to do damage control and pretend to be a great father as always, but I knew that h
They all stared at Lyrielle as if they were seeing a ghost. Those who made it evident that they were indeed staring were the Luna Queen, Eiraeth, and Daveth. After all, they were the ones deeply involved in what had happened to her and her family. Their plans were what ruined her life. “Is everythi
Lyrielle nodded and thanked them again. “It’s a pleasure to have you here, and I hope that later, you will be open to a girls’ get-together, and we can hang out.” Both of the queens exchanged looks, and I had thought they were going to decline, but they didn’t. Instead, they nodded in response. “We
