로그인When orphan police officer Sheila dies, she awakens in another world—reborn as Gina Hane, a wolf-less girl sold into slavery in the Lycan royal estate. She just hopes to survive, helpless and forgotten. Until she is noticed by the icy, sinfully alluring Lycan Prince Caleb Lake. The heat between them awakens something deep within her, although his interest is forbidden, dangerous, and intoxicating. Each stolen touch stirs visions, strength, and a dormant wolf the kingdom thought impossible. Gina's transformation puts her at the center of a prophecy that has the power to either bring the supernatural worlds together or bring them all to an end. Gina must transform from scullery maid to Seer Queen after being abducted, pursued, and crowned by fate. But first, she must decide: can she trust the prince whose desire unlocked her power… or is he the greatest threat to her fate?
더 보기I closed my eyes as his hand slid gently behind my neck and mine rested against his chest.I could feel his heartbeat; it was fast and wild. Heat flooded every nerve in my body. My lips parted instinctively. Caleb's gaze dropped to them; he leaned even closer, leaving only another inch. Then...he stopped. His entire body went rigid."No."The word sounded like it hurt. I opened my eyes. His jaw was clenched so tightly I thought his teeth might break."Caleb?"He stepped backward immediately, as if putting a distance between us physically would somehow stop whatever existed between us.His breathing remained ragged, but his silver eyes refused to meet mine."I cannot." He said instead.My heart sank. "...Cannot what?"He laughed bitterly. "My mother is right.""What?""I have responsibilities."His words landed like a slap to my cheeks as I felt a flush of embarrassment. He continued staring toward th
The banquet finally ended; it felt like a victory because I had survived a battlefield wearing silk instead of armor.The music gradually faded behind us as nobles drifted into different wings of the palace, their conversations echoing. Still, everywhere I walked, I could feel eyes following me. Some of the nobles had made small talk with the prince while pointedly ignoring the girl standing too close to the future king.Their snobbery was obvious, but I didn’t care so much and occupied myself with the delicious pastries that were passed around. I even saw Mary and the rest from the kitchen working as servers.Who would have guessed? I was once in their position a little over a month ago, but now I am here as a side piece? I don’t feel special or honored.Mary had disappeared with the other maids while Lady Lila was busy directing the other servants cleaning the grand ballroom after the celebration.That left only one person beside me. Caleb. He hadn't spoken since the banquet ended.
Caleb entered from the side pavilion. He had only intended to greet the foreign delegates before returning to his chambers.His body still hadn’t fully recovered; every movement reminded him of the need to be anywhere but here. Yet responsibilities had made that impossible.He had to show up to prove that all was well; these nobles could smell weakness from a mile away. So, for the sake of the kingdom, he needed to act the part. While moving through the crowd, he felt the familiar sensation of warmth, a hint of an olive scent.
The Moonlit Banquet. The words echoed inside my head long after the attendant had left my room.I remained seated on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the moonlight spilling across the marble floor.It didn’t feel like an invitation at all. It felt more like an order to join a gathering of nobles in silk clothes.Bey stirred in me, stating, “You are nervous.” “I think I have every right to be,” I replied.“Good”I frowned. “Good?”“Well, a good amount of fear keeps a prey alive; having a sense of danger is important.”“Well, news flash, Bey, I am trying very hard not to be a prey”“Then stop thinking like one.”It was easy for Bey to give advice. She had claws to protect herself. What did I have to shield me from all those judgmental eyes? Maybe just confidence.A knock interrupted my thoughts, but before I could answer, four palace attendants entered. They wore immaculate silvery-red ceremonial gowns embroidered with the royal crest.Behind them was Lady Lydia. “The Queen awaits
The moment the doors closed behind Keith and General Varric, silence swallowed the room, the kind that came before a storm.My mother crossed the room and stood near the window, sunlight spilling across her dark gown. The royal crest embroidered into the fabric seemed almost alive beneath the morni
Even from my bed chambers, the smell of blood filtered into the air to reach me. I could not join the fight as I would have hoped, but I am confident that the warriors are more prepared than any horde of the enemy. Especially after the last attack caught us off guard.Princess Lena had left to join
POV: CalebI heard footsteps as I kissed Gina, but I wasn’t ready to stop. I wanted to be so close to her that we felt like one. So, I kept going, ignoring whoever was at the door. Suddenly, the chamber doors burst open without warning. Princess Lena stood there. She’s always been bold and reckless
Lady Lydia hurried me toward the prince's quarters. I tried not to run so I wouldn’t draw attention, but I barely felt my feet touch the floor. Emergencies are almost normal here now, since trouble seems to show up every few days. Servants rushed through the halls, and guards stood at every corner.
