Elder Silas Pei’s face was dark as thunderclouds as he listened to the servant’s report. The newly appointed High Inquisitor was proving to be as slippery as a shadow. Silas had sent envoys to the Inquisition Bureau, but the man hadn’t even deigned to show his face, dismissing the powerful Pei family with a flimsy excuse of being "burdened with official duties."

"Such insolence!" Silas snarled, slamming his hand on the table. "A mere Inquisitor dares to shut the door in the face of the Pei Pack

    Alpha King Alaric flung the parchment down. It landed with a soft *thud* at the feet of Beta Prime Marcus.The letter unfurled, the final sentence glaring up at them like an open wound: *This child is a curse upon the Pack; she must not be allowed to live.*The handwriting was unmistakable. It belonged to Marcus.Alaric’s voice was a low, dangerous rumble, vibrating with the power of his Alpha command. "Beta Prime Marcus. It seems you harbor a grudge against me."Marcus dropped to his knees, his forehead pressing against the cold stone floor, baring his neck in submission. "My King! I did not write this!"Having stood at the peak of the Royal Council for years, Marcus had almost forgotten the scent of blood that used to cling to Alaric. He had forgotten that this King had carved his way to the throne through bone and claw.For years, Alaric had ruled with benevolence, constantly cleaning up the messes left by that troublemaker, Serena Blackwood. It had given Marcus the illusion that t

  • The Villainess Alpha Princess   Chapter 25: The Price of Loyalty

    If the history of the Royal Capital were ever written in blood and ink, the chapter on Enforcer Zane would be a legend of grit and glory.Zane was born a stray, a wolf with no lineage and an empty belly, yet his spirit was forged from iron. He didn't have a pack to protect him; he learned to fight in the mud, stealing techniques from passing warriors until he became a force of nature. He guarded territories by day and devoured scrolls of law and strategy by night.Despite his brilliance, his low birth meant he was shunned by the elite. He was sent to govern a lawless border town, a place where the local Alphas preyed on the weak, colluding with corrupt officials. The suffering there was a stench that not even the wind could clear.Zane fought for the omegas and the downtrodden, earning him an assassination attempt. Bleeding, broken, but fueled by a feral rage, he carved a bloody path back to the Royal Capital to demand audience with the Alpha King.Alpha King Alaric, impressed by the

    Julian’s mind raced, cycling through a thousand defenses and potential disasters. Yet, despite the chaos in his head, the words spilling from Serena Blackwood’s lips were crystal clear. He heard every syllable, but his brain refused to process the insanity of them combined.Serena poked at the gourmet dish before her with disdain. "Tsk. Bland. The chef didn't use enough seasoning."The beautiful Omega server standing nearby bowed frantically. "My Lady, I will have the kitchen prepare a fresh table immediately—""No need," Serena waved her hand dismissively, the silver rings on her fingers catching the light. She looked up, locking eyes with Julian, who stood frozen like a statue. A wicked, playful smile curved her lips. "Why don't you sit, Julian?"Julian gripped the handle of his cane, his knuckles turning white. He stared into her eyes, his inner wolf pacing anxiously. "Is the Lady Serena joking with me?"Serena tilted her head, her dark hair cascading over her shoulder. "If you wis

    "Lady Serena! Have you heard? The eldest son of the Pei family was rejected by his mate! He was so heartbroken he collapsed right in the middle of the street!"Faye’s eyes sparkled with the thrill of gossip as she stared at Serena Blackwood.Serena didn’t even lift her head. She lazily flipped a page of the romance novel she’d pilfered from Luna Queen Eleanor’s private library."Mmm, I heard. Tragic, isn't it?"Faye blinked, confused. "But My Lady, you haven't left your chambers in two days. How could you know?"Serena turned another page, her expression bored. "The entire Royal Capital is buzzing with it. Even the walls have ears."Faye tapped her chin. It was true; the news of Patrick Pei’s failed courtship was the only thing the pack members were howling about today."But..." Faye frowned. "Isn't he betrothed to Beta Prime Marcus's daughter? Why would he go courting someone else? Isn't he afraid the Beta Prime will tear his throat out?"Serena reached for a grape, popping it into h

    Elder Silas Pei’s face was dark as thunderclouds as he listened to the servant’s report. The newly appointed High Inquisitor was proving to be as slippery as a shadow. Silas had sent envoys to the Inquisition Bureau, but the man hadn’t even deigned to show his face, dismissing the powerful Pei family with a flimsy excuse of being "burdened with official duties.""Such insolence!" Silas snarled, slamming his hand on the table. "A mere Inquisitor dares to shut the door in the face of the Pei Pack?"The servant, trembling under the Elder’s radiating fury, stammered, "Beta Prime Marcus sent his people as well, Elder. The Inquisitor refused to see them too."Silas let out a cold huff. "He’s just a minor official putting on airs. Does he expect me to personally beg at his doorstep?"Arrogance was woven into Silas’s bones. In his eyes, a government official without ancient bloodlines was worth less than the Omega scrubbing his floors.Julian Pei, supported by a servant, limped into the room.

    "You’re telling me Beta Yuan was struck down by a sudden illness yesterday and can’t even lift his head from his pillow? Then who is handling the investigation now?"Beta Qing, Alpha Patrick’s second-in-command, paced the room, his agitation rolling off him in waves of sour pheromones. The scout who had been sent to the Yuan estate to gather intelligence trembled slightly under the pressure."The case has been transferred, sir," the scout stammered. "The new High Justiciar from the Council of Elders has taken over.""Who is it?" Qing growled."It is said to be the former Enforcer of the Northern Territories. Last year, he exposed a massive corruption ring within his own pack, risking his life to bring the evidence to the Royal Capital. Alpha King Alaric personally promoted him to High Justiciar for his integrity."Beta Qing’s brow furrowed, a low rumble vibrating in his chest. This was bad. "Prepare the car. We’re going to the Council."*****The Queen’s Chambers**Healer Ivy withdrew
