Chapter 5

Crystal K
Three days later, we returned to the capital in secret.

To the public, Kael made a cold announcement. "The princess is heartbroken by her son's weakness. She has entered seclusion to grieve."

No one suspected a thing.

To them, I was a failure. The mother of a weakling.

But the true hybrid king slept soundly in my arms.

"Is the rumor spreading?" I whispered, stroking my son's cheek.

"It's done," Kael murmured in my ear. "The 'Tome of Blood Inheritance' was 'accidentally' left in Damien's study."

  • They Called Her Baby a Beast   Chapter 8

    A week after the ceremony, Damien burned to ash in the sunlight.The former queen, Victoria, was imprisoned in the deepest silver cell beneath the palace. I heard she went mad soon after.As for Liliana, my sentence was carried out. Her wolf soul was stripped from her, and she was exiled to the Everwinter Wastes in the far North.My mother, after witnessing everything, was taken away by the werewolf delegation. They left the capital in a hurry, too ashamed to face me again.It seemed everything was settled.Kael crushed all internal opposition with an iron fist. Under his rule, the kingdom became stronger than ever.A grand victory banquet was held at the palace.After the feast, I took my son, Leonis, who could now run and jump, for a walk in the gardens."Mommy, the stars are so pretty," Leonis said, looking up at the night sky."Yes, my love," I said, holding his small hand. "They're blessing us."Just then, a sudden, sharp unease pricked my heart.I was instantly on alert, pulling

    Liliana collapsed, completely broken.The truth was a curse, and it had destroyed her.Supported by Kael, the king slowly rose, his old eyes burning with fury."Enough!" His voice was weak but still full of authority. "I want the truth! Damien, to the altar!""Father, there's no need…" Damien, pale as a ghost, tried to back away."That was an order!"The guards forced Damien to the blood-testing stone beside the altar. A crystal dagger pricked his finger, and a drop of dark, blackish-red blood fell onto the stone.If his bloodline was pure, the stone would glow gold.But—The stone didn't glow gold. It erupted in a blinding flash of black light, spewing a stench of rot and corruption.The entire hall gasped."Impossible!" the queen shrieked. "The stone must be broken!"The Head Elder's face was grim. "Test it again!"The second drop of blood also produced a black light. The third, the same.The evidence was irrefutable.Damien's bloodline was flawed. He could never produce a healthy he

  • They Called Her Baby a Beast   Chapter 6

    On the morning of the naming ceremony, a solemn mood fell over the palace.I was wrapping my son in fresh swaddling when a commotion erupted outside.Through the window, I saw a grand procession entering the palace gates.The banner of the Moonshadow wolf pack snapped in the wind.My mother had arrived.Moments later, the door to my chambers was thrown open.My mother strode in, flanked by several pack elders and guards.The moment her eyes landed on the baby in my arms, her face twisted in disgust."This is it?" Her voice was as cold as a winter wind. "This premature runt?"I held my son tighter, fighting to keep my voice even. "Mother, he is healthy.""Healthy?" She sneered. "Look at him. So frail. Even his cries are weak. This is the 'prince' you've given our pack?"She took a step closer, looming over me."Seraphina, you have been a stain on this family from the moment you were born. And now, you've produced another failure to dishonor our name."She turned and marched into the adj

He would cling to it like a drowning man to a raft.And he did. Just three days later, whispers filled the palace halls."The Crown Prince is acting strange. He locks himself in his rooms all day.""I heard he ordered a large number of silver needles and crystal vials. What for?""And he looks worse every day. It's like some sickness is eating him alive."Two weeks later, Liliana appeared before me. I almost didn't recognize her.Her cheeks were hol

    Queen Victoria and her guards rushed in right after him.Prince Damien was close behind, his expression fraught with worry."Kael!" the queen snapped. "What do you think you're doing?"Kael's sword was pointed into the room, his killing intent palpable. "I asked, who dares harm my mate!"His eyes scanned the room, finally landing on my weak form."Sera!"Just then, Damien saw the baby in Liliana's arms.The fake golden eyes glittered under the crystal lights."Gods…" he whispered, stumbling toward Liliana. "Is that… the hybrid king?"Queen Victoria saw it too. A fanatical gleam lit up her eyes."The prophecy! The prophecy has come true!"She hurried to Liliana's side, cautiously peering at the disguised monster."Such powerful energy…" The queen reached out but didn't dare to touch him. "Damien, this is your son! The future monarch!"Damien took the baby, tears streaming down his face as he stared at the fake golden eyes."My son… My king…"He turned to Kael, his eyes filled with smugn

    Trapped by the ward, threatened by the queen, and on the verge of labor.My guards hesitated.Queen Victoria gestured to her handmaidens, ready to drag me back to the Moonlight Sanctum by force.My pack warriors—Kael’s men, loyal to me—stepped forward, blocking their path.But a flash of gold light pulsed from my abdomen, and a scream of pain tore from my lips."Your Highness…" the captain of my guard wavered. "You're in danger. You must give birth now…""I said I'm waiting for Kael!" I gritted my teeth, holding on with everything I had.Pain ripped through me, but I couldn't let them win. Not again."Quick, get her inside!" Liliana yelled frantically. "The baby can't wait!"I was half-carried, half-dragged toward the crystal temple.The contractions grew stronger, closer. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead."Agh—" I couldn't hold back a cry."Hold on, Sera!" Liliana squeezed my hand. "It'll be over soon!"Her concern looked so real. Too bad it was all for show.Inside the crystal tem
