Kael stared at the Crimson Beast.

“Finish what my father started?”

The creature lowered its head.

“Yes, my prince.”

Kael’s heart pounded.

“What did he start?”

Before the beast could answer, the silver image of Kael’s mother began to fade.

“Mother!”

Kael reached for her.

She smiled sadly.

“Remember this, Kael…”

Her voice became weaker.

“Your father never betrayed the Moon Kingdom.”

The image disappeared.

Kael stood frozen.

Rowan lowered his sword.

Darius looked away.

Lucien stepped closer.

“What did she mean?”

Kael shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

The Crimson Beast slowly rose.

“Your father discovered the truth before the kingdom fell.”

“What truth?”

“That the war was never between kingdoms.”

The creature’s crimson eyes moved toward Rowan.

“It was about the crown.”

Rowan’s expression darkened.

“The crown?”

The beast nodded.

“The Moon Crown was created from three ancient powers. Moon blood. Crimson blood. And Shadow blood.”

Lysander looked horrified.

“The Three Bloods…”

Darius whispered, “That was supposed to be a myth.”

“It was never a myth.”

The creature pointed toward the three gemstones.

“The Moon bloodline controlled the crown. The Crimson bloodline guarded its power. The Shadow bloodline was imprisoned beneath it.”

Kael looked at the black gemstone.

“And the shadow?”

The creature’s voice became low.

“He is the first king of the Shadow bloodline.”

The shadow smiled.

“Call me Azrael.”

The name seemed to make the air colder.

Lysander immediately raised his sword.

“Azrael.”

Azrael looked at him.

“You remember me.”

“I remember what you did.”

Azrael laughed.

“You remember what your king told you.”

Lysander’s grip tightened.

“You destroyed thousands.”

“No.”

Azrael’s eyes moved toward Kael.

“Your king did.”

Kael’s chest tightened.

“My father?”

Azrael nodded.

“He released me.”

Rowan suddenly stepped forward.

“Enough.”

Azrael smiled.

“You still lie to him.”

Kael turned toward Rowan.

“What is he talking about?”

Rowan remained silent.

“Rowan.”

Still nothing.

Kael’s voice hardened.

“Tell me the truth.”

Rowan finally lowered his sword.

“Your father did release Azrael.”

Kael stared at him.

“Why?”

“To save you.”

The chamber became silent.

Rowan continued.

“When the Crimson Court invaded the Moon Kingdom, your father discovered that the only way to stop them was to awaken the ancient Shadow King.”

Kael whispered, “And he did.”

“Yes.”

“But he knew what would happen.”

“He believed he could control Azrael.”

Kael looked at the shadow.

“And he couldn’t.”

“No.”

Rowan’s eyes filled with regret.

“He was wrong.”

Azrael laughed.

“He was desperate.”

The Crimson Beast moved closer to Kael.

“Your father ordered me to take you somewhere safe.”

Kael’s eyes widened.

“You knew me?”

“I carried you out of the burning palace.”

A memory flashed through Kael’s mind.

Strong arms.

Smoke.

Fire.

A silver wolf running through the forest.

A baby crying.

Kael gasped.

“That was you.”

“Yes.”

Tears filled his eyes.

“You saved me.”

The beast lowered its head.

“I obeyed your father.”

Darius looked at Kael.

“And while you escaped…”

His voice broke.

“…my family died.”

Kael closed his eyes.

He finally understood why Darius hated him.

But before he could speak, a violent howl echoed from outside.

Then another.

And another.

Rowan’s head snapped toward the entrance.

“We have company.”

Lysander moved beside him.

“How many?”

Rowan listened.

“Hundreds.”

Lucien looked toward the broken doors.

“Black Fang?”

Rowan shook his head.

“No.”

His expression became grim.

“Crimson Court.”

The Crimson Beast suddenly growled.

“They found the heir.”

Kael looked at the crown.

The silver light began fading.

Azrael’s shadow stretched across the chamber.

“Then the final game begins.”

Outside, hundreds of red eyes appeared in the darkness.

And among them stood a man wearing a crimson crown.

He smiled.

“Bring me the Moon Prince.”

Kael’s blood ran cold.

Because he recognized that voice.

It was the voice from his childhood nightmares.

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 36: The Veil That Remembered

    The moment Lucien’s wolf spoke, the silver heart inside the glass chamber stopped beating.Aurelian went completely still.For the first time since Lucien had awakened in Elysium, the prince who wore his face looked genuinely afraid.“Did you hear that?” Lucien whispered.Aurelian’s jaw tightened. “You should not be able to hear him.”“Perhaps you should have thought of that before you chained me to a table.”Lucien pulled against the silver restraints. Pain tore through his wrists, and the unfamiliar symbols carved into the stone beneath him flashed white. His wolf growled somewhere deep inside his chest, but the sound was faint, as though an entire world stood between them.Brother, don't let him open the heart.Lucien stared at the floating silver heart.It was no larger than a human heart, yet the chamber surrounding it seemed to breathe with its rhythm. Five silver rings revolved around it, each marked with an unfamiliar symbol. Four were dark. The fifth glowed faintly, pulsing i

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 35: The Heart They Came to Steal

    “Lucien!”Kael's scream followed the Alpha into the darkness.The black chain dragged Lucien across the broken floor, its links burning with the same five-circle symbol that had appeared on his chest. Lucien fought against it, his boots carving deep marks into the stone, but every movement only made the chain tighten.Kael refused to let go.His fingers locked around Lucien's wrist.“I'm not losing you!”Aurelian glanced over his shoulder.“You already have.”He closed his fist.The chain jerked.Lucien's hand slipped from Kael's grasp.For one terrible instant, their fingers remained connected by nothing more than their fingertips.Then they separated.Kael lunged forward, but Caelan caught him around the waist.“Let me go!”“Kael, stop!”“HE'S TAKING HIM!”“And if you follow him like this, you'll die before you reach the door!”Kael struck his brother's arm.Caelan released him immediately.Kael stumbled forward, ready to chase Aurelian, but the stranger had already reached the shat

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 34: The Brother Who Wore Another Face

    Kael could not look away from the figure beyond the mountains.It had Lucien's face.The same sharp jaw. The same dark hair. The same cruelly beautiful eyes that had once watched Kael stand alone beneath the full moon while an entire kingdom laughed at his rejection.But the figure wore no crown.It did not need one.The world itself seemed to bend around it.“That's impossible,” Lucien whispered.He had managed to stand, though his legs trembled. One hand remained pressed against his chest, where the five interlocking circles glowed beneath his skin.Kael turned toward him.“Do you know who that is?”Lucien shook his head.“No.”His answer came too quickly.Kael noticed.So did the boy standing beside him.“You're lying,” the child said.Lucien's gaze snapped toward him.“Be careful what you accuse me of.”The boy laughed bitterly.“You always say that when you remember something you don't want anyone else to know.”Lucien went still.Kael looked between them.“What does that mean?”

    “Too late.”The child's voice echoed through the fortress.It came from beneath the floor, from behind the walls, and from somewhere deep inside Kael's own chest.For one terrible moment, nobody moved.Then Lucien screamed.He fell to his knees, both hands pressed against his chest. Black veins spread from his heart toward his throat, forming the same ancient symbols that had appeared on Kael's palm.Kael dropped beside him.“Lucien! Look at me!”The Alpha's body convulsed.His wolf roared, but the sound was wrong. It was not the furious cry of a creature fighting for control. It was the desperate howl of something being dragged away from its owner.Kael gripped Lucien's shoulders.“Fight it!”Lucien lifted his head.His eyes were black, but a thin silver ring remained around each pupil.“I am trying.”His voice sounded strained, almost distant.“Kael, listen to me. If I lose control again, you have to—”“No.”“Let me finish.”“No!” Kael shouted. “I have spent my entire life being tol

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 32: The Child Who Died Twice

    Azrael was smiling.Not the cruel smile of a conqueror who had finally defeated his enemies.Not the satisfied smile of a prisoner who had escaped centuries of confinement.It was the smile of a father who had just heard his daughter remember him.And somehow, that made it more terrifying.“Say it again,” he whispered.Elara stood trembling in the middle of the chamber. Black tears ran down her cheeks, but the silver in her eyes burned brighter with every passing second.“Mother killed me before I was born.”Elaris took a step toward her.“No, my little moon. You don't understand what you remember.”Elara screamed.“Don't call me that!”The force of her voice shattered the remaining windows. Glass exploded outward, scattering across the courtyard below. The shadows rushed toward her, gathering around her body like a cloak.Kael moved instinctively.“Elara, look at me.”She turned toward him.For a brief moment, he saw the frightened child who had called him brother beneath the fortres

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 31: The Woman Behind the Seal

    The voice came from beyond the sealed doors.And every person in the chamber recognized it.Even those who had never heard it before.Elaris.The woman Azrael claimed Seraphine had murdered. The woman whose face haunted Kael's visions. The woman who had warned him not to trust Elara.And now she was coming for her daughter.Elara stood frozen beneath the ancient symbol glowing on her forehead.Then she smiled.It was not the frightened smile of a little girl who had just awakened from twenty years of imprisonment.It was the smile of someone who had finally heard the words she had waited centuries to hear.“Mother,” she whispered.The sealed doors shuddered.Seraphine lunged toward her.“No! Whatever you hear, do not answer her!”Elara's smile disappeared.“Why?”“Because that is not your mother!”A deafening crash shook the fortress.The doors split down the middle.Silver mist poured through the opening, crawling across the floor like living water. The temperature dropped so sharply
