The Promise of Protection

last update Data de publicação: 2026-08-07 18:25:12

I woke calmer than I had in days, the shock finally beginning to settle into something steadier. The truth hadn’t grown easier to carry. It had simply grown clearer, and with that clarity came a decision I hadn’t fully let myself consider until now.

I couldn’t keep this from Lucien forever. Not because he was king, and not because I owed him an explanation. Because somewhere over these past weeks, without my quite noticing when it happened, he’d earned my trust.

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Princess Accepts

    I woke before dawn, and for several seconds forgot what day it was.Then I remembered.Today, I would formally accept the identity of Princess Aurelia before the entire kingdom.I didn’t feel terrified. I didn’t feel completely ready either. Instead, a strange calm had settled over me — I’d already accepted the truth privately, the night before. Today simply asked me to stand before everyone else and acknowledge it.I reached for the pendant. For years, I’d worn it without knowing what it represented. Now I knew. My mother’s gift. My bloodline’s proof. The one thing that had survived when almost everything else had been erased.“You made it this far,” I whispered, unsure whether I meant the pendant, my mother, or myself.-----My attendants arrived, and this time I didn’t resist the formal clothing at all. I simply chose what I wanted to wear — elegant, restrained, still recognizably mine. Not a fantasy queen. Myself, standing inside a royal position rather than disappearing into one.

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Weight Of A Crown

    I woke to a palace that felt different, though nothing about the walls had actually changed.Everyone’s behavior had.Servants bowed more deeply. Guards addressed me more formally. People waited, now, for my permission before speaking at all.“Good morning, Your Highness,” someone said, and I actually turned, expecting the greeting to belong to someone else standing nearby.No one else was there.-----My attendants had prepared formal clothing that morning, beautiful and far more elaborate than anything I usually wore. I looked at it for a long moment.“It reflects your restored status,” one attendant explained.“Do I have to wear it?” I asked.She hesitated, and that hesitation told me everything I needed to know.I didn’t reject it outright. I simply chose something else instead — elegant, but still recognizably mine.-----The title followed me through the entire morning.“Your Highness, breakfast is ready.”“Your Highness, the council requested—”“Your Highness, your schedule—”E

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   Kael Hears The Rumor

    The messenger arrived at Blackwood breathless, having ridden hard enough that his voice hadn’t fully settled.“The lost Lycan princess has been confirmed alive,” he said.Kael barely reacted at first. “Aurelia?”“Confirmed. Yesterday.”-----Kael remembered the old stories well enough — the massacre, the entire royal line believed destroyed. “What proof does Silverfang have?” he asked.The messenger listed it plainly. Royal records. An ancient pendant. A recovered portrait. Surviving testimony from a guardian who’d carried her to safety. Records tied to some sacred forest. A formal royal verification, witnessed by the council itself.Kael listened, still unconvinced. Then the messenger added one more detail.“They say she was raised under another name.”Kael’s attention sharpened immediately.-----“What name?” he asked.“Evelyn.”Kael went very still.“Say that again.”The messenger repeated it. Evelyn.His mind moved instantly to the woman he’d rejected. The woman who’d vanished fro

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Lost Princess Returns

    I woke to a palace that had shifted again, though not the way it had all week.No one whispered about whether Aurelia existed anymore. They simply discussed her.“The lost princess has returned,” a servant said plainly to another, not even bothering to lower her voice.Guards exchanged comments as I passed. Messengers arrived from regions I couldn’t name. Letters had already begun piling up somewhere in the administrative wing.“By tonight,” Rowan told me, “most of Silverfang will know.”I understood, hearing that, that this couldn’t be taken back now.-----Lucien didn’t want me confined simply because my identity had become public.“You said you didn’t want to become a prisoner of your own name,” he reminded me.I agreed to visit the city, Rowan close beside me, a small group of guards trailing at a discreet distance.-----At first, no one recognized me at all. Then someone did.“That’s her,” a woman whispered.Another turned. Then another. The recognition spread naturally through

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Princess Revealed

    The palace felt unusually busy the morning after the verification. Guards lined the main corridors more heavily than usual. Servants prepared the great court. Nobles arrived earlier than their schedules typically allowed.“How many people know?” I asked Rowan.“Enough,” he said.The council’s decision had stayed private overnight, but the preparation alone had already told everyone something significant was coming.-----I prepared for the gathering carefully, though I didn’t reach for anything extravagant. My appearance stayed elegant, but unmistakably still mine — still recognizably Evelyn, whatever else the day might reveal.I touched the pendant while dressing. For the first time, I didn’t wonder whether it belonged to me.I knew.-----Lucien came to see me before the ceremony, confirming the council had accepted the evidence completely. The court would now be told officially.“What happens after?” I asked.He didn’t pretend to know everything. The announcement would shift the po

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Challenge

    “Then let us test it,” the noble said, and the room grew tense around his words.My hand closed around the pendant instinctively.“What exactly will happen?” someone asked.The High Priestess explained that the pendant had always been more than an identification token. It had been connected to a ceremonial verification tradition — one that could only be completed by the bloodline it had originally been made for.The test wasn’t meant to prove I resembled Aurelia.It was meant to prove whether my blood truly matched the lost branch itself.-----The skeptical noble insisted the entire process be witnessed openly, with no private interpretation and no result hidden afterward.The High Priestess agreed immediately, and I understood why that mattered — it made whatever happened next impossible to dismiss later.Aldren supported the demand outright. “If this council is going to recognize a lost princess,” he said, “the proof should survive everyone’s scrutiny.”Lucien agreed without hesita
