THE ROGUE QUEEN Chapter 60
That Evening - A DiscoveryLyra was in the library, researching Shadow Beasts and coven magic, when she found something that made her blood run cold.An old journal, hidden among the restricted texts.She opened it and began to read:Day 47 of Experimentation:‘The Shadow Wolf subject continues to resist. Her blood is indeed as powerful as the legends claim. A single drop can amplify spells tenfold. But extracting it while she lives is proving difficult.’‘She screams for her daughter. Begs us to let her see the child one last time. But High Priestess Morgana has forbidden it. The child must believe her mother is dead, or the plan will fail.’‘Tomorrow, we attempt the full extraction. If successful, we'll have enough Shadow Wolf blood to create not just one Beast, but an entire army…’Lyra's hands shook as she read the signature at the bottom:‘Recorded by High Priestess Morgana of the Shadowlands Coven’She dropped the journal like it had burned her.Morgana wasn't Selene's aunt tryi

At the Same Time – War CouncilDamon stood before his generals, trying to focus on tactics when all he wanted was to return to Selene."The coven's attack will come from the north," General Mark said. "That's where the Shadowlands border is closest.""Then we reinforce the northern defenses," Damon ordered. "Triple the guards. Set up—"A commotion at the door interrupted him.A messenger stumbled in, bleeding. "Your Majesty, the western border is under attack!""By whom? The Council?""No. Rogues. Hundreds of them. But they're not fighting to breach. They're—" The messenger swayed. "They're herding something toward us. Something big.""Show me."They rushed to the western wall, and Damon's blood went cold at what he saw.In the distance, a massive creature made of pure shadow was moving toward the Court. It looked like a wolf but ten times the size, with eyes that glowed red and a form that flickered between solid and smoke."What the hell is that?" Maya breathed beside him."A Shadow

The Next MorningI woke to find Damon already gone, a note left on his pillow:‘Emergency council meeting. Didn't want to wake you. Stay in our chambers until I return. This is not a request. - D’I crushed the note in my hand, annoyed.I was the Queen, not a prisoner.But before I could leave, Zara burst through the door without knocking, her face pale."Selene, you need to come with me. Now.""What's wrong?""It's Ash. He's... just come. Please."We ran through the corridors to the healer's wing, where Ash lay unconscious on a bed, his body covered in strange symbols burned into his skin.Lyra was examining him, her hands glowing faintly green."What happened?" I demanded."He was on patrol near the Shadowlands border." Zara's voice shook. "When he didn't report back, we sent a search party. They found him like this, barely alive.""What are these symbols?" I traced one with my finger—it looked like an ancient script."Coven marks," Lyra said grimly. "They're a warning. And a tracki

That Afternoon - Private ChambersDamon paced like a caged wolf while I sat on the bed, trying to process everything."This is my fault," he said finally. "I should have seen this coming. Should have known the coven would—""Stop." I stood and grabbed his hands. "You're not omniscient. None of us saw this coming.""I should have." His voice was rough. "You're my mate. Protecting you is my responsibility. And I've failed.""You haven't failed. I'm still alive, aren't I?""For now. But we have the Council coming in ten days and a coven of witches attacking in three." He pulled me close. "I can't lose you. I just got you."Through the bond, I felt his genuine terror. Not fear for himself—fear for me.‘Rex is very worried,’ Kya observed.‘So are we,’ I thought back.A knock on the door interrupted us."What?" Damon called, irritated."Your Majesty, there's... there's someone at the gates requesting an audience." The guard's voice was nervous. "She says she's Selene's aunt."I froze. "My w

Later That Morning - War CouncilI couldn't concentrate on the discussions.Lyra's words kept echoing in my mind: “Someone in this Court has been planning your death for a very long time.”Who? Who would have known about Shadow's Bane before I even arrived at the Lycan Court?"Selene?" Damon's voice cut through my thoughts. "Are you listening?""Sorry. Yes. Continue."He gave me a concerned look through the bond but turned back to the maps. "As I was saying, the Council forces will likely split into three attack groups. We need to—"The doors suddenly burst open.A scout ran in, covered in blood and breathing hard. "Your Majesty! The northern border—there's been an attack!""What?" Damon was on his feet instantly. "The Council isn't supposed to arrive for ten more days.""Not the Council. Rogues. Hundreds of them. They came out of nowhere, overwhelmed our border patrol." The scout swayed. "They're not trying to breach the territory. They're... they're leaving bodies. Messages.""What
THE ROGUE QUEEN Chapter 55
Ten Days Until the Council ArrivesI woke to screaming.It wasn’t my scream. It was someone else’s, echoing through the palace corridors in the early morning darkness.Damon was already out of bed, quickly putting on his clothes. "Stay here.""Not a chance." I threw on a robe and followed him out.The screaming was coming from the healers' wing.When we rushed inside, we saw Lyra standing over an injured warrior from yesterday’s training. Her hands were glowing with a strange green light I had never seen before.“Lyra?” I said carefully.She didn't respond. Her eyes were completely white, rolled back in her head, and the green light pulsing from her hands was making the warrior's wound close far faster than normal healing ever could."What is she doing?" Damon demanded."Healing," Zara said from the corner, her voice tense. "But not the normal way. She’s using—” She stopped suddenly.“Using what?” I asked.The green light faded, and Lyra collapsed. I caught her before she hit the grou
