Chapter 11

Author: Mantra Sage
Three months after Kael left for the borderlands to serve his penance, Father finally gave me permission to leave the royal court and travel on my own.

This time, I was not the naive princess who had fled four years ago to dodge responsibility and chase after love and freedom. I had shed every trace of that girl.

All I wanted now was to see every corner of the wolf kingdom for myself, to understand how each pack lived, to identify the cracks in our borders and the struggles of our werewolves.

  • When the Fated Mate Betrayed Me   Chapter 11

    Three months after Kael left for the borderlands to serve his penance, Father finally gave me permission to leave the royal court and travel on my own.This time, I was not the naive princess who had fled four years ago to dodge responsibility and chase after love and freedom. I had shed every trace of that girl.All I wanted now was to see every corner of the wolf kingdom for myself, to understand how each pack lived, to identify the cracks in our borders and the struggles of our werewolves.I had already made up my mind. I would carry the weight of my birthright. I would claim the throne and protect every wolf under my rule.Father was still worried. In addition to Layla, he assigned several of the court's elite shadow guards to travel with me.I visited small and mid-sized packs along the way, documenting their hardships and the flaws in how resources were distributed. I crossed mountains and forests, and with every step my mind grew clearer and steadier.When I reached the no

    The snow fell all through the night.Layla told me that Kael had collapsed outside the sacred gates of the royal court and had to be carried back to Thunderpeak territory.I gazed out at the blanket of white beyond the window and felt nothing. Every ounce of suffering I had endured was something he deserved to taste for himself.When spring came and the snow melted, my body finally stabilized. The royal court's healer confirmed after a follow-up examination that I could begin easing back into training.In the rear gardens of the court, Father had ordered a quiet patch of land set aside just for me. It had been arranged to resemble the home I once had in the unclaimed forest, with tilled soil, a low wooden fence, pens for raising snow hares, and beds for growing berries and frostleaf."Here." His voice carried an awkward sense of tenderness."I know you like your peace and freedom. No one will bother you in this corner. Plant whatever you want, and raise whatever you want."I loo

    The towering royal court looked exactly the way it had when I left. Nothing had changed.The black war carriage carried me all the way to the front of the main hall. Even from a distance, I could make out the familiar figure standing inside.I stepped down from the carriage, walked briskly toward him, and bowed low."I know I was wrong, Father. Please forgive me."There was no response.I slowly raised my head.Four years had passed, and Father had more grey in his hair than I remembered. The lines on his face had deepened.He said nothing. He simply reached out and squeezed my face hard between his fingers."So you do remember the way home."His voice was harsh, but the hand gripping my face was trembling.His eyes reddened. "My Serafina, what happened to you? Look at the state you're in."The tears I had been holding back finally broke free.He let go of my face and pulled me into his arms, holding me so tightly it was as though he was afraid I would disappear again."Yo

    The moment the words left my mouth, the mate bond that had bound us for four years shattered and vanished without a trace.The weight I had carried for years lifted from my chest all at once. I felt lighter than I had in a long time.Kael was not so fortunate. His bloodline ranked far below mine, and the backlash of a severance initiated by a higher-ranked wolf tore through him with nothing to cushion the blow.He coughed up a mouthful of blood. His wolf convulsed violently, on the verge of collapse. Every channel in his body split apart inch by inch, and the agony drove him to the ground in a writhing, howling heap. He did not even have the strength to stand.Watching him in that state, I felt nothing. He had brought every bit of it on himself.I did not spare him another glance. I turned my gaze to Freya, who was cowering behind the crowd.She had already crumpled to the floor. The Moonveil Crown that Kael had spent the pack's entire store of merit to obtain had slipped from he

    "You knew I was carrying your pup, but because Freya wanted her pup to receive the Moon Goddess's blessing, you drugged me and killed our pup yourself!"Kael's face turned white as bone. "I'm sorry... Nia, I had my reasons...""Reasons?" I let out a cold laugh."When I was on my knees begging you to find a healer, all you said was 'it won't kill you' and walked away. You left me lying on the ground while I felt our pup slip away. Those are your reasons? That's what you call love?"I gave him no room to explain. Every drop of grief and anguish I had swallowed came pouring out, word by word."You burned down the cabin we had lived in for four years and locked me up in an estate that belongs to Freya."You stood by while she forced barren root down my throat and destroyed my ability to bear pups forever."I was poisoned twice, and my body was falling apart, yet you still made me crawl up the Ten Thousand Steps on my hands and knees, just so I could beg for a soul ward talisman for

    I stood before him, my expression calm. "I am here on behalf of the royal court to deliver a gift for your ceremony."Kael's entire body seized. Every memory from our four years together in the unclaimed forest flashed through his mind. Every moment he had dismissed as unremarkable now twisted into mockery."No. That's impossible. How is it you..."Before he could gather himself, Freya thrust a finger at me, her voice shrill. "I knew it. That's why you kept pushing me to set off the silver moon flare. You wanted to impersonate Princess Serafina and sabotage my bonding ceremony with Kael!"Impersonating royal blood? You've got some nerve!"Guards, take her to the drowning cells!"Freya's guards moved toward me at once. In the same instant, a crushing wave of high-ranked bloodline pressure erupted from my body.The night before, when the royal court's shadow guards found me, they had brought the Alpha King's Seal, forged by my father's own hand. The seal carried his bloodline impr
