Mag-log inMy mate cut my face apart and threw me off a cliff. My sister watched and smiled. Together, they took everything from me. My throne. My life. My place beside the Lycan King of Warhill. The river was supposed to be my grave. But the Goddess had other plans. Now I am back in Nymore, hidden behind scars that make even my own people look away. My mate has his heir. My sister has my crown. For now. Because the woman they pushed into that river is gone. And the one who crawled out of it has nothing left to lose. Not her beauty. Not her reputation. Not even her soul. They wanted me dead. They should have made sure I stayed that way. - - - - Betrayed by the Lycan King she once loved and the sister she trusted, Reine should have died in the river they threw her into. Instead, she awakens in her homeland of Nymore with a gift from the Goddess and a burning desire for revenge. As she struggles to accept the scars that now cover her face, Reine discovers a mysterious new power she awakened with--a power that could change the fate of kingdoms. With her loyal brother at her side and an unlikely ally in a frail human servant named Eren, Reine begins plotting the downfall of everyone who helped destroy her life. But as enemies gather and secrets come to light, Reine must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for revenge. And whether the price is worth paying.

I asked, forcing a laugh. "You killed her yourself, Karlos. Have you forgotten?""I haven't forgotten anything.""Then why are you asking me?""Because something isn't right."My stomach twisted.Had someone else told him?No. That wasn't possible. The messenger had come directly to me."Karlos, I don't understand," I said. "You watched her fall into the river. You saw what happened.""Yes. But I never saw her body."I swallowed. "Neither did I.""And the mate bond never broke."My heart dropped."What?"He turned away."When a Lycan's mate dies, he feels it. No matter how far away she is. But I felt nothing."I stared at him.Why hadn't he told me this before?"Perhaps it's because you stopped loving her," I suggested.He looked at me sharply."That has nothing to do with it.""Then maybe the bond
--REINE--I took a cautious step closer to him, my gaze fixed on his hand."Has this happened before?" I asked softly.Eren stared down at me, his expression troubled."No."I met his gaze."Can you do it again?"He shook his head. "I didn't do it, Reine. I think it was just light or something.""Light?" I repeated incredulously. "Eren, I saw a flame.""Maybe it was a reflection.""Of what? The moon?"He didn't answer.I glanced at his hand again."Let me see.""Reine, it's nothing." He stepped back."Then you won't mind," I stated.Before he could protest, I reached for his hand and took it in mine."Ah!" I gasped, immediately letting go.His skin was warm.Far too warm.It felt as though he'd been holding his hand over a burning fire."Eren, you're burning up!" I whispered.He stared at his fingers, his face growing pale."I...""Are you feeling alright? Should I call the healer?""No!" he exclaimed.I flinched at his sudden outburst.He noticed."I'm sorry," he said quickly. "I--I
--REINE--I shifted uncomfortably in my bed, the wounds on my face aching dully.But the pain wasn't what was keeping me up.It was the million thoughts racing through my mind, the ones I couldn't get to quiet down.Hadn't I been tested enough already?How were there still people, in my own homeland, in my own kingdom, who sought to hurt me?I sighed, kicking the blanket off my legs.There was no point in lying here any longer.Maybe a walk through the gardens would help clear my head.I slipped out of bed, pulled a shawl over my nightgown and covered my face with my veil.Then I quietly opened the door, and nearly jumped out of my skin."Eren!" I hissed, scowling.He stood just outside, leaning against the opposite wall.At the sound of my voice, he straightened immediately."Reine? Is everything alright?"I pressed a hand against my chest."What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night!"He glanced towards the corridor. "I was keeping watch.""Outside my bedroom?""Yes."I fr
--REINE--The palace healer gently removed the bandages from my face to re-examine my wounds.I sat stiffly on the bed, my hands gripping its edges.Eren, Cain and Mother stood a short distance away. Eren kept his gaze lowered, while Mother watched me with concern.But Cain was stiffer than usual.He wouldn't meet my eyes."What is it, Cain?" I asked.His gaze shot to mine. "What?""Something happened. Tell me."The last bandage came off, and Mother turned away, wrapping her arms around herself.I sighed. "You can go, Mother. You don't have to be here every time.""I want to," she replied, her voice breaking."I know. But you don't have to force yourself. I know I'm hideous, and I know how much it hurts you to see me like this."She broke into a sob and hurried outside.I glanced at Eren, and he immediately followed her.Somehow, he always understood what I needed without being told.I turned towards Cain."Tell me, brother. Please."He sighed and sat beside me."Karlos's accusation o
