Valerie

The room was packed tighter than I had ever seen a press conference before. Every seat was filled, reporters lined the walls, cameras stacked three deep at the back.

"Remember," my publicist whispered as we waited backstage, "controlled answers only. Redirect anything personal back to the business."

"I know how to handle a press conference."

"This isn't a normal press conference."

She was right about that. Nothing about the last two days had been normal.

Dimitri waited beside me, dresse

    ElaraThe council chamber remained in chaos long after Nadia's revelation. Elders shouted demands for further investigation. Others already whispered about the implications for succession and power that Valerie's bloodline now represented.I pulled Rogers aside the moment I could manage it. My voice was low with barely controlled fury."Your prophecy was a lie.""It was an interpretation," Rogers said stiffly. "One that served the council's interests.""It served your interests," I hissed. "You knew all along the ritual didn't require her death, didn't you?""The details matter little now," Rogers said, glancing nervously toward the assembled council still deliberating loudly nearby. "What matters is that our window is rapidly closing. If the council formally recognizes her bloodline, and those children as legitimate heirs, everything we've worked toward collapses entirely.""Then what do you propose?""We accelerate the final phase," Rogers said. "I've been weakening Dimitri's suppre

    NadiaI stepped forward the moment the golden flames finally began to settle. The ancient scrolls I had carried carefully wrapped beneath my cloak were now clutched tightly in my hands."Council members," I said, my voice carrying clearly through the stunned silence still gripping the chamber. "What you have just witnessed confirms something I have suspected since the very night Valerie first arrived at this Citadel.""Nadia," Elder Rogers said sharply, rising from his seat with his hands raised. "This is not the appropriate moment for theories.""This is precisely the appropriate moment," I said, unrolling the first scroll carefully. The ancient parchment was brittle with age, and I handled it with the care it deserved. "These records date back over a thousand years, chronicling the bloodline of the Original Sun-Luna Queen. The first and only ruler capable of purifying the Silver-Vein Curse permanently."Murmurs spread through the assembled elders as I continued. Several leaned forwa

    ValerieThe passage leading down into the sacred caverns grew colder with every step. Torchlight flickered against ancient stone walls carved with symbols older than any written record I had encountered in the wolf world."You don't have to do this," Dimitri said quietly beside me. His hand found mine as we descended further into the mountain's depths."I don't have a choice.""There's always a choice.""Not one that doesn't end with the entire council believing I'm hiding something," I said. "I need this over with, Dimitri. One way or another.""You don't owe them anything.""I owe them proof that I'm not the threat they think I am.""You don't owe them that either."I stopped walking and turned to face him. The torchlight cast strange shadows across his features, but his expression was clear. Worry. Anger. Fear."Then what do you suggest?" I asked, pulling my hand from his. "That I run again? That I hide in the human world while the council tears apart everything I've built?""I'm n

  • The Lycan King's Secret Triplets    Chapter 69: The Elder's Demand

    Elder RogersThe evidence against Cassie arrived on my desk the same morning I had planned to formally close the investigation into Valerie's supposed involvement. I read it twice before understanding exactly how badly it threatened everything I had spent decades building.Offshore accounts traced directly to Elara's family. If Dimitri's investigators had uncovered this much already, it would only be a matter of time before the trail led further. Toward conversations I had personally overseen and decisions I had personally authorized.I could not allow that trail to continue unchecked."Convene the full council," I told my assistant. "Immediately."The council chamber filled quickly. Every elder was present within the hour, their expressions curious at the sudden urgency of the summons."Elder Rogers," one of the council members said, leaning forward in his seat, "what is the meaning of this emergency session?""A matter of grave importance," I said, rising to address the assembled el

  • The Lycan King's Secret Triplets    Chapter 68: Mercy and Suspicion

    DimitriI stood outside the interrogation room, having listened to every word exchanged between Valerie and Dante. My jaw was tight with a fury that had nothing to do with the false confession itself.Dante's devotion, however misguided, however built on years of guilt rather than genuine understanding, still burned beneath my skin with a possessiveness I could not fully suppress.But execution served no purpose here. Not when the true architect of this plot remained free and unidentified.I entered the room once Valerie had gone. Dante was still standing exactly where she had left him. His face was pale. His eyes were hollow."Your Majesty," he said quietly."Your confession was a lie."Dante did not deny it. He simply nodded, a slow, tired movement of his head. "I couldn't let her be blamed for something she didn't do.""You realize confessing to a crime against the crown carries a death sentence.""I'm aware." His voice was steady, resigned."And you were willing to accept that.""

    ValerieThey brought Dante to a private interrogation room after the council session ended. I was permitted to see him only after Dimitri insisted, though I still did not fully understand why I had agreed to come at all.Dante sat slumped against the far wall when I entered. His earlier composure was completely gone. His shoulders shook with something that looked dangerously close to tears."Valerie," he said, looking up the moment the door closed behind me."Why did you lie to the council, Dante?""Because it was the only way I could think of to protect you," he said. He pushed himself upright and crossed the small room toward me. "I couldn't let them arrest you. Not for something I know you never did.""You confessed to a crime you didn't commit.""I would confess to anything," he said, his voice cracking, "if it kept you safe."I crossed my arms, keeping distance between us. "That doesn't make any sense. You have a pack. Responsibilities. A life that has nothing to do with me anymo
