Queen of the Ruined: A Villain's Rise C10
"By the power of the bloodline, I name Amanda Luna of the Silver Moon Pack," Lucas's voice echoes through the scrying mirror's faint blue light, cracking violently on my name as he adds, "Cecelia is dead."I stand frozen in Lancelot's war room, staring at the magical glass array reflecting the lit courtyard of my former home. Amanda steps forward on the marble dais, her cruel smile blinding under the torches as Lucas places the silver crown upon her head. Around her neck hangs my dead mother's moonstone necklace—the sacred heirloom Lucas swore would only belong to his true mate.The sight cuts deeper than any silver blade, calcifying every soft piece of my broken heart into ice.I don't cry. I don't scream or slam my fists against the stone table.Lancelot stands beside me in heavy iron shoulder armor, his broad arms folded over his massive chest, watching my face instead of the screen. "You are bleeding," he says softly, his low voice cutting through the heavy silence.I look down at

"Break the chains!" Lancelot growls, his voice rattling the stone walls as he crashes through the heavy wooden door.My skin is on fire, convulsing with a brutal, delayed heat that feels like hot oil poured directly into my veins. Sweat drenches my torn nightgown, sticking to my chest as I choke on my own ragged breaths. I have bound my own left wrist to the iron bedpost with thick iron cuffs, pulling until the metal bites deep into my raw skin. I didn't chain myself to keep Lancelot out. I chained myself to keep from crawling across the floor and begging him to touch me.The rejected mate bond is tearing my body apart from the inside out, punishing me for denying its pull.Lancelot doesn't hesitate. He strips off his soaked shirt, his bare chest slick with sweat, his eyes bleeding from glowing gold to pitch-black wolf rage. He grips the iron cuffs with his bare hands, the heat radiating off his palm so intense I hear the iron groan under his strength. With one violent wrench, he snap

"Wake her up," I order, my voice like ice as I slap the cold, wet cloth over Jessica's face.Jessica jolts awake with a ragged gasp, her body thrashing against the heavy iron chains bolting her wrists to the Great Hall's stone floor. She looks around frantically, her bruised skin twitching in terror until her bloodshot eyes land on me. I am kneeling right in front of her, resting the thin, sharp edge of a healer's scalpel against her neck."Cecelia, please," Jessica sobs, tears cutting clean trails through the mud on her cheeks. "I didn't want to hurt you! They threatened to skin me alive!""Save your tears," I snap, pressing the cold steel just enough to bead a single drop of blood on her skin. "You stood in that courtyard. You threw stones at my head while Lucas read my death sentence. Give me a reason why I shouldn't slit your throat right here."Lancelot stands behind me like a massive, silent shadow. His broad arms are crossed over his bare, scar-marked chest, his golden eyes bur

"Hold the blade higher or I will break your arm," Lancelot growls, his voice slicing through the freeze of the pre-dawn air.My chest heaves, blood dripping from my split lip onto the frost-covered gravel of the training yard. I am already down on one knee, my body aching from an hour of self-imposed drills before anyone else woke up. My inner wolf stirs, a dark, dangerous growl rising in her chest for the first time since the mate bond broke.Lancelot doesn't offer a hand to help me up. He steps forward, holding a heavy wooden sparring sword, his eyes cold and unforgiving."Get on your feet," he barks, bringing the practice blade down in a brutal arc.I roll sharply to the left, gravel scraping my skin as I scramble to my feet. I bring my wooden sword up just in time to catch his next strike. The force of his swing vibrates straight through my arms, sending a sharp, stabbing pain down into my ribs.He doesn't hold back. He swings again, going straight for my left shoulder. I block it

"Don't make a sound," a icy voice breathes directly against my ear.The cold edge of a silver blade presses flat against the sensitive pulse point on my neck. My eyes snap open in the pitch black room. The smell of copper, wet earth, and Silver Moon military oil fills my nose instantly.I don't freeze. I don't cry out for help.I slam my head backward with every bit of strength left in my body, my skull smashing violently into his nose. A loud crunch echoes in the dark room, followed by a harsh grunt of pain. Before the assassin can regain his balance, I swing my elbow into his ribs and bite down hard on his sword wrist, tasting iron and dirty skin.He snarls, backhanding me across the face with his free hand. The blow sends me sprawling across the bed furs, my lip splitting open against my teeth."Bitch," the assassin growls, raising his dagger to strike down.The heavy glass window shatters into a thousand flying shards.A massive black figure crashes through the opening, landing in

"Seven weeks," Rebecca whispers, her eyes darting nervously toward Lancelot. "The pup's pulse is tied to Alpha Lucas's bloodline. There is no mistaking it."I stare blankly at the dark stone wall across the room, waiting for the blow to fall. I expect disgust. I expect him to push me away, to throw me back into a dungeon cell, or to slice my throat right here on his furs. I was thrown away by my own mate for being unworthy and poor. I know what powerful Alphas do to women carrying another man's heir.Lancelot stands completely still at the foot of the bed. The heavy quiet in the room stretches thin and razor-sharp, filled only with the crackle of torchlight on the wall."Leave us, Rebecca," Lancelot commands, his voice dangerously low.The healer gathers her herbs in a frantic hurry and scurries out, slamming the heavy iron door shut behind her.Lancelot takes three slow, heavy steps toward the bed. He doesn't look angry. His golden eyes are intense, flashing with a raw, terrifying hu
