Queen of the Ruined: A Villain's Rise 30
“Sit on the edge of the bed and do not move,” Lancelot says, his voice thick with a low, possessive rumble that vibrates straight down my spine.I sit on the high mattress of his private chambers while he kicks the heavy oak door shut behind us, slamming the double iron deadbolts into place.The air in the room is heavy, suffocating, and dripping with his dominant, protective Alpha scent.Lancelot grabs a warm, wet cloth from the marble basin, drops to his knees right between my thighs, and reaches for the hem of my shirt.“I can clean my own cut, Lancelot,” I say, my hand hovering over his wrist.My stomach tenses as his cold, calloused fingers brush directly against my bare waist.“You are not touching this,” he growls, looking up at me through his dark lashes, his crimson eyes burning with unhinged hunger and fear. “I watched a silver blade graze your belly, Cecelia. I almost lost my fucking mind. Let me touch you.”He wipes the dried crimson blood from my waist with agonizing slow

“Get down!” I yell, shoving my personal guard back into the corridor as the heavy oak doors of the safe house explode into a hundred sharp wooden splinters.The iron scent of rogue blood and fresh silver smoke fills my throat, making my inner wolf snarl with sudden, defensive rage.Four massive rogue enforcers crash through the shattered entry, their eyes glowing sickly yellow with toxic dark magic potions. They do not hold chains or ropes. They carry heavy silver blades designed specifically to cut through royal wolf flesh.“Kill her!” the lead attacker roars, pointing a jagged silver dagger directly at my face. “Peterson wants her dead! Leave the body, bring her head and the unborn pup’s heart!”My stomach churns with sudden nausea at his words, but I do not step back. I do not run.My guard moves forward to shield me, but the lead attacker swings a heavy iron mace, hitting my guard square in the chest with a sickening crunch of bone that throws him across the stone room.I stand al

“Play it again,” I say, my voice echoing off the high stone walls of the regional Alpha summit chamber.Fifty pack leaders stare at me in dead silence. The heavy projector screen at the front of the grand hall hums with static before the audio cuts back in, raw and unedited.“The fetus carries the core life force,” Amanda’s voice spills out of the speakers, high, sweet, and entirely toxic. “If we drain the soul-bond during the execution ceremony, Cecelia dies, the baby dies, and the energy transfers directly into my broken core. I will become the True Luna. Lucas will never know the difference.”I stand in the center aisle, my black dress sweeping the marble floor, my posture straight as a blade. I do not look at the crowd. I keep my eyes locked on the head table where Lucas sits.Lucas looks like he has been stabbed through the chest with a silver stake. His eyes are wide, bloodshot, and completely fixed on Amanda, who sits right beside him in her white Luna silk dress.“That is a fo

"Get out of my sight before I rip your spine out!" Lucas roars, slamming his fist onto the mahogany desk in the center of the main den.The mahogany splits down the center with a loud crack, wood splinters flying across the rug. The young pack warrior flinches, bowing his head in pure terror as he scrambles backward out of the doorway.Lucas doesn't even look up as the door slams shut. He reaches with a trembling, blood-stained hand for the crystal decanter sitting on the edge of the fractured desk, pouring another glass of strong silver-whiskey.His eyes are bloodshot, hollowed out by days of sleeplessness and sheer, unadulterated madness. Sitting right beside his glass is the single black rose I left behind three weeks ago, its petals dried and crisp, yet he refuses to let anyone touch it."Lucas, please, you have to drink something else," Amanda begs, stepping into the room with a porcelain cup of tea, her voice tight with panic. "The Elders are whispering in the courtyard. They sa

"Cut every trade route leading into Silver Fang territory by midnight," I command, slamming my palm flat onto the brass war map.The heavy table rattles under the force of my hand, sending wooden pack markers scattering across the painted rivers and mountain passes. Lancelot steps up behind me, his broad chest pressing flush against my back, his scorching heat sinking through the fabric of my tunic."No merchant wagons go in," Lancelot growls into the side of my neck, his rough fingers tracing the curve of my hip. "No grain, no weapons, no silver.""Not a single grain of wheat," I say, my inner wolf snarling with pure, unadulterated vengeance. "Isolate them completely."Lancelot doesn't hesitate for a single second. He raises his right hand, making a swift, ruthless cutting gesture to his chief commander standing by the arched stone door."Execute the Luna's orders immediately," Lancelot barks, his Alpha tone vibrating through the stone floor beneath our feet. "Send the riders to the

"The coven tome is complete," Elder Mandolin announces, dropping a heavy, leather-bound book wrapped in scorched iron chains onto the stone table of the war room.I stand over the ancient pages, my breath catching as my eyes trace the dark, forbidden runes drawn across the yellowed parchment.Mandolin's final piece of evidence proves what I already feared in my bones. Amanda's so-called sacred "blessing" from the Moon Goddess was never real.It was a soul-bond theft ritual designed to siphon the pure life force and royal bloodline of my unborn child directly into Amanda's body, granting her false Luna powers and eternal fertility. Amanda did not just want me disgraced or exiled or dead—she wanted to become a mother by stealing my motherhood, erasing my flesh and blood to cement her own stolen throne.The realization hits my chest harder than any physical wound, a cold, sickening horror that turns my stomach inside out."She wanted to wear my child like a stolen cloak," I whisper, my f
