The rejection left me hollow, as if Nicolai had taken a part of me when he walked away. I tried to go on with my life, to sink back into the pack and pretend that everything was the same. But I wasn’t the same. Something in me had changed, like a thread had snapped, one I couldn’t untangle or repair no matter how hard I tried.

Days passed, blending into each other like the gray winter skies outside. I kept my head down, worked through my daily routines, and tried to ignore the ache that pulsed in my chest. But it was impossible to ignore Nicolai. He was everywhere. His scent lingered around the pack, and each time I saw him, his chosen mate was by his side, a cruel reminder that I wasn’t enough.

One afternoon, I saw them together near the training grounds. She was laughing, her head thrown back, and he was looking at her in a way that once would have been meant for me. I froze, rooted in place, the air searing in my lungs. The pain hit me harder than I expected, piercing me like shar

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 41 – Discovering Elemental Powers

    It was still early when I slipped out of the small wooden cabin I’d been staying in, the first blush of dawn just starting to creep over the tops of the trees. The air was crisp, with that lingering coolness that always comes before the morning fully wakes, and it filled my lungs like a jolt of pure energy. The Red Moon Pack was still quiet, the peaceful lull of a world not yet stirring, and for once, I felt almost… normal. Like maybe this could have been my life all along.The path led me through a dense part of the forest where the canopy of trees hung thick, creating a tunnel of green. I followed it to the clearing where Elder Alara, one of my birth mother’s closest friends, was waiting for me. She was a slender, ethereal figure, with eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the forest and a voice that was as gentle as it was commanding. She was one of the few who knew about my lineage, about the powers that might be lying dormant inside me, waiting to be awakened.When she saw me a

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 40 – Bond with the Red Moon Pack

    The camp was quiet that evening, the sky draped in a soft twilight. I had finally washed off the day’s sweat and dirt, feeling a rare moment of calm as I sat by the small fire I’d built just outside my tent. The flames flickered, casting a warm glow, and for the first time in what felt like ages, I allowed myself to relax. But just as I settled into the silence, I heard footsteps approaching. I turned to see Sheila, her face framed by the dim firelight.Sheila had an energy about her—sharp, lively, and a bit intimidating. She was one of the best fighters in the Red Moon Pack, with a reputation for her agility and precise strikes. She’d been with the rogues for years, and she was practically a legend among them. I admired her, but we’d rarely spoken one-on-one.“Mind if I join you?” she asked, her voice casual but her eyes studying me closely.“Not at all,” I replied, surprised by the faint hint of warmth in my own voice. I gestured to the log beside me, and she took a seat, stretching

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 39 – The Journey Begins

    I never thought I’d be standing here, with these people who call themselves my pack. "The Red Moon Pack" — they were all rogues, outcasts, or descendants of those who had once served my family. It still felt strange hearing them call me “Queen,” but every time they did, I felt a pang of pride and a weight of responsibility. It was surreal and yet felt like the beginning of something inevitable, something that had been set in motion long before I’d even known who I was.Standing in the center of the clearing, I inhaled deeply, letting the earthy scent of pine and wet leaves ground me. My muscles ached, but it was a satisfying ache, one that meant I was growing stronger. Each day, I pushed myself, throwing myself into training with a single-minded focus I’d never known I was capable of. This wasn’t just about survival anymore; it was about reclaiming what was mine, avenging those I’d lost, and protecting the ones I still had.The soft crunch of footsteps pulled me out of my thoughts, an

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 38 – The True King’s Downfall

    The Lycan Kingdom had once been the pinnacle of peace and prosperity. Under the wise and generous rule of King Artemis and his beloved Queen, Luna Genea, the kingdom thrived. The Red Lycan bloodline was revered as a symbol of strength and nobility, its rulers known for their compassion and loyalty to their people. With each moonlit festival and harvest season, the Lycan people gathered to celebrate their king and queen, secure in the belief that their reign would endure for generations.But beneath the surface, hidden in the shadows, seeds of envy and ambition were beginning to take root.At the heart of this dark ambition was Darwin, the king’s trusted Beta and the queen’s own brother. As a young Lycan, Darwin had pledged his loyalty to his family and had been a close companion to King Artemis, standing by his side in countless battles and council meetings. But over the years, Darwin’s admiration of his brother-in-law shifted into something more corrosive. Despite his outward devotio

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 37 – The Red Moon Pack

    The small village nestled in the jungle was nothing like the towering palace halls or the sprawling gardens I’d grown up in. Here, everything was simple, raw, and somehow more alive. There were only five houses, all made of rough wood, arranged in a circle around a fire pit. The jungle was dense around us, the air thick with the smell of pine and damp earth, and the distant chirping of birds was the only sound that broke the quiet.As I walked through the village, children peeked out shyly from behind their parents, their eyes wide with curiosity. There were only eight of them, and they clung to one another, some clutching their mothers' skirts. Most of the adults nodded as I passed, eyes warm and filled with something I hadn’t seen in a long time—respect.They all called me “Queen,” and each time, a flutter of disbelief and something like pride stirred within me. A title I’d only ever been scorned for was now spoken here with reverence, as if it was something I deserved.When lunch c

  • The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess   Chapter 36 – A Fateful Rescue

    The dream was too perfect, a cruel comfort, offering me a glimpse of everything I’d lost. I was with my family. Mira was there, her laughter bright and clear as she teased Levi. Bea’s familiar smile warmed me like sunlight, and we sat together, the four of us, as if nothing terrible had ever happened.But as quickly as the comfort appeared, it shattered. Astrid emerged from the shadows, her eyes cold and full of malice, and she killed them—one by one, while I was helpless to stop her. I screamed, desperate and terrified, but my voice seemed trapped within my own throat.With a gasp, I woke, my body drenched in cold sweat, my heart pounding wildly. I was back in reality, and the weight of it crushed me all over again. “It was just a dream,” I whispered, but somehow, it still hurt.Wiping the tears from my face, I took a shaky breath. Just then, a quiet voice broke through the silence. “Amelia?”I froze, the voice almost too familiar, too comforting. My gaze snapped to the side, and my
