The quiet in the royal sickroom felt heavy and thick. The only sounds were the slow crackle of the fireplace in the corner and the wet, painful gasps of old King Draven trying to pull air into his weak lungs.

Jaxon dropped to his knees right beside the bed first. All his pride, all his dark anger, and all his grand talk about taking the crown vanished into thin air. He grabbed his father’s thin, ice-cold hand with both of his shaking hands, pressing his forehead against the heavy grey blanket.

    The quiet in the royal sickroom felt heavy and thick. The only sounds were the slow crackle of the fireplace in the corner and the wet, painful gasps of old King Draven trying to pull air into his weak lungs.Jaxon dropped to his knees right beside the bed first. All his pride, all his dark anger, and all his grand talk about taking the crown vanished into thin air. He grabbed his father’s thin, ice-cold hand with both of his shaking hands, pressing his forehead against the heavy grey blanket."Father..." Jaxon choked out, tears bursting from his eyes and soaking into the wool blanket. "Father, I am here! It’s Jaxon! Please open your eyes!"King Draven slowly fluttered his heavy eyelids open. His bright golden eyes were dim now, like fading embers in an old fire, but when he saw his sons standing over him, a soft, trembling breath escaped his chest.Kael knelt down on the other side of the bed, taking his father’s other cold hand. Lucan stood right behind Kael, holding Seraphina’s han

    Chapter 54The guard wolf raised his trembling head, looking straight at Jaxon. "He called for you too, Prince Jaxon. He said he wants his sons by his side before he passes."The heavy silence that fell over the Great Hall was absolute. The remaining mercenaries dropped their weapons to the floor. The nobles stood frozen on the benches.Even though Jaxon was cruel, arrogant, and wicked, there was one thing in this world he truly cared about deep down in his dark heart—his father, King Draven. Jaxon had always strived for his father's approval, even if he sought it through dark and foolish ways.Hearing that his father was dying, all the cold, nasty anger vanished from Jaxon’s face. He turned pale as a sheet. His dark eyes went wide with pure sorrow, and his hand dropped away from his sword hilt."Father..." Jaxon whispered, his voice trembling like a frightened child's.Kael didn't say a word. He instantly wiped his bloody blade against his leather pants and slammed it back into its s

    "Kill them all!" Prince Jaxon screamed, his voice echoing off the high stone ceiling of the Great Hall like thunder. "Leave no one standing! Kill the prince, kill his everyone and kill that filthy human girl!"The room erupted into total, bloody chaos.The heavy black-armored mercenaries poured out from the dark stone arches behind the tapestries. Their iron boots slammed against the marble floor as they ran down the steps with drawn swords, raised axes, and loaded crossbows. Women in fine silk dresses shrieked in terror, scrambling over the wooden benches to hide behind the thick stone pillars. Old pack nobles fell over each other, trying desperately to find a way out, but the massive oak doors remained locked tight with heavy iron bars from the outside.Jaxon’s mercenaries thought this was going to be an easy slaughter. They thought they were trapping three helpless people in the middle of a room.They were dead wrong.Kael did not flinch. He did not step back. His golden eyes lit u

    "I object," Kael’s deep, powerful voice boomed across the giant room. The words cut through the heavy silence like a sharp steel blade slicing through thin paper. "I object to a thief and a traitor sitting on my father's throne."Every single person sitting on the long wooden benches held their breath. Nobody moved. Nobody dared to whisper. The entire room went completely quiet, so quiet that you could hear the soft crackle of the wood burning in the high iron chandeliers above.Up on the raised marble platform, Lord Garrick looked like he had just seen a ghost. His face went totally pale, turning as white as fresh winter snow. His heavy lower lip started to shake with pure fear, and his hands trembled inside the thick purple velvet sleeves of his royal robe.Next to him, Lady Aurora gripped Prince Jaxon’s arm so tightly her long silver nails dug right into his leather armor. Her blue eyes were wide, bulging out with shock and anger as she stared down at Kael."Kael!" Garrick finally

    To the common people waking up in the cold streets, the sound of the bells meant one thing: the coronation day had finally arrived.Dawn brought a pale, watery sunlight that cut through the thick grey clouds. The air was freezing, so cold that a person’s breath turned into small white clouds in front of their face. But inside the high stone palace, nobody was looking at the cold weather. Everyone was moving quickly, running up and down the long hallways, preparing for the grand event in the Great Hall.Up in the grand dressing room of the east tower, Lord Garrick stood in front of a giant golden mirror. He was dressed in a long, heavy robe made of deep purple velvet, trimmed with thick white winter fur along the collar and sleeves. Around his waist was a broad belt studded with shiny red rubies, and a heavy golden chain hung across his broad chest.Garrick reached out with trembling, eager fingers, touching the smooth purple cloth. His heart was pounding fast against his ribs. For yea

    They stepped out of the royal sickroom, the heavy oak doors closing softly behind them, sealing in the smell of medicine and old parchment. Hand in hand, they began walking down the long, quiet stone corridor that led toward their own private royal chambers in the east wing.The torches mounted along the stone walls flickered and hissed, casting long, eerie, dancing shadows that stretched across the floor like crawling fingers.Suddenly, Kael stopped dead in his tracks.His entire body went completely rigid, like a statue carved out of solid granite. His chest stopped moving. Every muscle in his massive frame tensed. His hyper-sensitive alpha senses—his ears, his nose, his instincts—instantly picked up on something unnatural, wrong, and deeply dangerous hanging in the air.It was a dark, foul, disgusting smell. It wasn't the clean scent of the palace guards, nor was it the familiar scent of the pack members.It was the wild, rancid, metallic stench of rogue wolves.Without a single wo
