SERAPHINA

Phina was restless, her body tense as my father’s scent grew stronger in the air. Our last encounter at the heir selection ceremony three months ago still lingered in my mind raw, vivid, and impossible to forget.

Waiting here, knowing he was on his way, tested every shred of my composure. But he wasn’t the only one watching me.

“It’s actually quite lovely to see you silent for once,” Austin drawled from the doorway. He hadn’t followed Finn, clearly staying behind to savor my unease, to even the score from our last unpleasant encounter. “Could it be because of your father?” His tone was smooth but sharp. “Looks like it’s time to say goodbye to both the throne and the Academy. If you’d accepted your expulsion quietly that day, none of this would’ve happened.”

I slowly lifted my gaze, meeting his black eyes without flinching.

“Don’t worry about me, Alpha Austin. I’ll decide who deserves my goodbyes and who deserves hell. No one can take my dreams or my throne…unless they have a

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   244. BLOOD PETAL AND DREAD LORD

    SERAPHINAThe man who dropped to the ground with a gaping hole in his chest sent shockwaves through the crowd, triggering a stampede. But their panic only made things worse. I stood frozen, holding my breath, as the chaos unfolded, each soul dragged into Ronan’s wrath. Silas, frantic, began screaming for his people, unable to process the loss of his men.“RUN!” he yelled, grabbing my hand to pull me with him. It was in that instant, I realized the mistake he made, that only escalated the bloodshed. Because Ronan had arrived.My breath caught when I saw him, tall and imposing, his figure a dark shadow against the wreckage. Clad in black, every step he took seemed to drop another body to the ground. The moment our eyes met, when he saw me being taken by Silas his aura flared, a deadly wave that sealed the fate of everyone around us.It was because of me that so many people were going to die.I yanked my hand free of Silas' grasp, fear and guilt clawing at my insides. "Take your people a

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   243. LOVE AND LIES

    SERAPHINA“Those Elders from the King’s Council did a ritual to awaken the dormant side of you,” Silas explained, “Under the full moon they had you snap emotionally and provoke you physically by aiming those silver arrows. The sleeping Blood Petal inside you kicked in and woke up,”My lips parted and eyes widened in disbelief. I was surely provoked by those wizards' strange chanting but there was no way I could… “I–I’m not the Blood Petal…” I shook my head. I remembered Blood Petal had killed Ronan’s mother and countless she-wolves during the experiment. The Blood Petal was an evil flower. And I–I was a werewolf.“The white petal mark between your brows says otherwise,” his words cut through my thoughts.

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   242. STRANGER

    SERAPHINA With a sharp gasp, my eyes flew open. Sweat clung to my skin, my breaths ragged and uneven as I stared up at a sky painted in shades of crimson and gold.I’d had a nightmare, a long, suffocating nightmare that felt far too real. My entire body trembled, my heart pounded as if still trapped inside it. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to steady myself, but when I opened them again, the red-tinged sky was still there.The surface beneath me was cold and hard. Slowly, realization sank in, I was lying on the ground.Confused, I pushed myself upright, only to freeze. Half-collapsed stone walls surrounded me, covered in creeping vines and fractured archways. Scattered bones littered the dusty earth.“What the…” I breathed, my voice barely audible. The air was thick, heavy with the same dangerous energy I remembered from before. My stomach dropped. “Don’t tell me…I’m back in those ancient ruins.”I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Was this still a dream? I’d glimpsed this place a

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   241. ROTTING UNDER THE MOON

    RYKERThe moment the full moon rose in the sky, my knees gave out.“AAAAAA—!” A guttural scream tore from my throat as agony seared through every inch of my body.“Alpha!” Percy dropped to his knees beside me, keeping a cautious distance, his eyes wide with horror as he looked at my skin.Groaning through the pain, I forced my gaze down, and hissed. My flesh was decaying before my eyes. “Fuck…why is it rotting so fast?” My hand was nothing but blackened flesh, and the rot was spreading up my arm.Percy’s voice trembled. “It’s getting worse. This has never happened before. Alpha Ronan’s red aura, it must be responsible. Ever since it touched you, your wolf’s healing ability has completely shut down. And now you—”

    SERAPHINAAsher tilted his head slightly, his tone deceptively calm. “Technically, he knew since we were children that I was the Alpha King’s firstborn. But yes…I suppose me accepting the throne must come as a surprise to him now.”I clenched my fists, anger and disbelief mixing in my veins. “So all this time, you were just playing with me? And now you reveal your crown, to what? To show me how powerful you really are?”His gaze darkened. “You think you could have stayed hidden this long if I had been playing with you,

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown    239. THE KING UNMASKED

    FINN“H-how can he be the Alpha King?!” Austin stammered beside me, his eyes fixed in horror on the live footage. “I’ve seen the Alpha King before, there’s no way it’s him! I even saw His Majesty in the palace a week ago. What the hell is going on…I’ll find out—”He started to mind-link the palace wolves while I kept staring at Asher’s face on the screen, without blinking. Slowly, my gaze dropped to my own hand.“No wonder his bloodline felt familiar that day,” I muttered. I recalled his calm, unreadable composure, his subtle dominance that never quite fit a normal Alpha. “He must have manipulated his bloodline mark to conceal his true identity.”“Alpha!” Austin rushed back into the room, pale and shaking.“What happened?” I demanded, frowning.“The King…he’s changed!”My brows drew together. “What?”“Look at this.” Austin handed me a sealed envelope, stamped with the royal insignia. I tore it open and unfolded the document inside.It was a royal decree, signed by the King himself, st
