​AMARA'S POV

​The next morning, I woke long before the first golden rays of sunrise cut through the horizon.

​For several agonizing seconds, I remained perfectly still beneath the heavy covers, staring blankly at the pale morning light beginning to seep through the tall velvet curtains.

​Then, like a violent wave, every memory of the previous night rushed back into my mind.

​The Royal Palace.

​The golden invitation.

​My mother’s midnight-blue dress.

​And the cruel, unrelenting laughter echoing

  • kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna    CHAPTER 43: THE FRACTURED THRONE

    ​TANYA'S POV​I departed the western archives an hour later without a physical document, but with absolute clarity.​Amara was no longer acting like a discarded, weeping outcast. She was uncovering pieces of an ancient puzzle, and Kael Draven was shielding her discoveries from his own council.​I found Kael in the grand council chamber of the eastern spire.​The massive oak doors were standing open. Kael was standing near the long strategy table, staring intently at a massive map of the northern border territories. Five senior council members and military commanders surrounded him, arguing in low, heated tones.​The High Alpha looked thoroughly exhausted.​His silver-black hair was unkempt, his crimson velvet coat was thrown carelessly over a nearby chair, and his linen shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Dark, bruised shadows sat beneath his striking silver eyes.​He hadn't slept. Again.​My chest tightened—not with tender concern, but with a sharp, bitter irritation. Kael ha

  • kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna    CHAPTER 42: THE BOOK BEHIND THE LOCKED DOOR

    ​TANYA'S POV​I did not sleep that night.​Not because I was frightened. Fear was a completely useless emotion when one possessed enough intelligence and patience to evaluate facts and make precise decisions.​I was simply thinking.​The Moon Circle.​The sacred ritual had existed for centuries, forming the foundation of modern wolf society. Every monarch, every high lord, and every noble child in the Twelve Kingdoms was taught its fundamental history from infancy. The Moon Circle recognized the strength, divine right, and political legitimacy of ruling bloodlines. It was an ancient symbol of authority and absolute order—nothing more.​At least, that was what the High Council wanted the realm to believe.​Having spent years studying old royal documents to perfect my political standing, I knew that official court history was rarely complete. History was drafted by survivors—and survivors were not always interested in preserving the unvarnished truth.​I sat beside the grand arched wind

  • kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna    CHAPTER 41: THE WOMAN WHO KNEW HOW TO LISTEN

    ​TANYA'S POV​The iron-wrought palace gates swung wide open before my carriage even reached the outer perimeter.​I watched the familiar black metal bars slice inward, revealing the long, white-marble road that swept straight up toward the grand facade of the Imperial Palace.​The moment my carriage crossed the threshold onto the inner grounds, my eyes caught a detail that instantly made me sit up straighter against the velvet cushions.​Three royal guards were standing in tight formation outside the arches of the western entrance.​They were not ordinary estate guards. They were Royal Sentinels—the elite, iron-clad warriors assigned exclusively to protect the High Alpha, the Inner War Council, and the most restricted zones of the fortress.​One of them was leaned down, speaking in hushed, urgent tones to a young palace attendant. The attendant looked terrified, his knuckles white around his parchment ledger.​The sentinel looked worse—his jaw set in a hard, anxious line beneath his s

  • kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna    CHAPTER 40: THE PRICE OF A PLACE BESIDE THE THRONE

    ​TANYA'S POV ​I watched Amara disappear around the corner of the grand stone archway. ​I did not move a muscle. ​The heavy, rhythmic sound of her footsteps gradually faded down the marble corridor until the immense, echoing space of the palace swallowed her completely. ​Only then did I slowly turn back toward the closed double doors of Kael's private council chamber. ​The two Imperial Guards standing outside immediately straightened their backs, their iron boots clicking together as their hands tightened on the shafts of their ceremonial spears. ​I offered them a calm, radiant smile. "How long was she inside?" ​The older guard's scarred face turned cautious, his brow furrowing slightly beneath his steel helmet. "Lady Tanya—" ​"I asked you a simple, straightforward question," I purred softly, stepping closer. ​He glanced nervously at his younger companion before answering in a low, measured tone. "Approximately two hours, my lady." ​Two hours. ​My smile remained rigidly in pl

  • kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna    CHAPTER 39: THE WOMAN BESIDE THE THRONE

    ​TANYA'S POV​The heavy, iron-reinforced doors of the palace closed with a deep, reverberating thud behind Amara.​I continued staring fixedly at the carved dark oak long after her form disappeared. For several agonizing seconds, I didn't move a single muscle, my spine rigid beneath the weight of my sweeping white velvet gown.​Behind me, the low, hushed chatter of the surrounding noblewomen began to swell once more, like a nest of disturbed hornets.​"Did you see that?"​"The Captain of the Royal Imperial Guard... he personally bowed and escorted her inside!"​"Why? Whatever for?"​"Perhaps... perhaps that golden invitation truly was deliberate after all."​"Impossible! Don't be ridiculous!"​"Why impossible?"​"Because she is—"​The woman abruptly bit her tongue, catching herself before the loud words could fully leave her mouth.​She didn't need to finish her sentence. I knew precisely what she wanted to say, because every single noble in the Twelve Kingdoms was thinking the exact

    ​AMARA'S POV​The next morning, I woke long before the first golden rays of sunrise cut through the horizon.​For several agonizing seconds, I remained perfectly still beneath the heavy covers, staring blankly at the pale morning light beginning to seep through the tall velvet curtains.​Then, like a violent wave, every memory of the previous night rushed back into my mind.​The Royal Palace.​The golden invitation.​My mother’s midnight-blue dress.​And the cruel, unrelenting laughter echoing through the halls of House Everhart.​My stomach twisted into a painful, tight knot. For one brief, terrifying moment, the old, familiar instinct returned to drag me down.​Hide, the voice whispered in my head. Stay in bed. Pull the covers over your head and tell the household you fell ill. Let Vivian and Serena run to the capital and tell everyone that you were far too embarrassed to show your face.​It would be so much easier. So infinitely easier than stepping back into the fire.​Then, the m
