Her Crown

Aurora’s POVThe witch knew. The witch knew I wasn’t the one.Panic was a live wire in my chest, threatening to crackle out of control. I pressed myself harder against the wall, my mind screaming. This couldn’t be happening. I had come too far, schemed for too long, to be undone by a cryptic hag in the woods.Rael’s turned back was a portrait of rejection. He didn’t want me. He wanted a cure I could never provide.And then, the thought came, unbidden and venomous: if it wasn’t me… who had been near them enough to make the curse stir? Who had they been sniffing around like common dogs? Marin. That piece of trash.I should have known. I saw the way they looked at her. Rael’s jaw would get tight when she was near. Kael’s eyes would follow her around the room without him even noticing.They couldn't hide it. Wolves can't fake their instincts. Their bodies always tell the truth.And her? She pretended to be so shy and quiet. But I saw the look in her eyes when they paid attention to her.

Drawn By Scent

That morning, I was assigned to the west wing again, my steps dragged as I carried a bucket and cloth, the marble floors reflecting back my pale face. The corridor was silent except for the faint echo of my movements.I leaned against the wall for a moment, pressing a hand to my chest. My heart was thundering too fast, my breath shallow. A maid passing by gave me a sharp look.“Keep moving,” she hissed. “The queen notices everything.”I forced myself upright. “Yes,” I whispered, though my voice cracked.I kept walking, the walls seeming to tilt and sway with me.By the time I reached the room I was supposed to clean, my legs gave out. I stumbled against the doorframe, the bucket clattering to the floor, water spilling everywhere. I slid down with it, the cloth slipping from my fingers.I don’t know how long I sat there, head bowed, arms trembling.“Marin?”.The familiar voice snapped me back. I blinked up to see Tessa rushing toward me, her wide eyes filled with panic.“Oh gods, you l

The Bond Claim

Liah's POVI forced myself down the hall. Every step was hard. My body ached and my head hurt, but I had to keep going. I couldn't stay in bed.Just keep moving Liah.I heard the door creak open and I froze.Kael and Rael stepped in. Their eyes glowed softly. They moved quickly but seemed unsteady. I pressed my back against the wall, scared.“Your Majesties…” I whispered, my voice shaking.I didn’t get to finish.They were already there, surrounding me. Their heat washed over me, making my skin feel too warm.My heart was beating fast. I thought I was just sick, but my wolf pushed forward, wild and wanting.Kael’s hand hit the wall next to my head. Rael moved close beside me, his breath warm on my cheek.My legs felt weak. A small sound escaped my lips not from fear, but from something deeper.Kael leaned in, his lips brushing my jaw. Rael’s hand slid down my arm, sending shivers through me.I tried to think, but all I could feel was the fire under my skin.My wolf howled inside.Mate.

Tangled

Liah’s POVI couldn’t scrub hard enough.The bucket of soapy water was already murky, but I kept dipping the rag, kept pressing it against the same patch of marble until my arm burned.It didn’t matter that the floor was spotless. It didn’t matter that my knees had gone numb against the cold stone. Nothing mattered except working until I forgot.But I couldn’t forget.Every time I closed my eyes, I felt their heat again, Kael’s lips brushing my throat, Rael’s hand gripping my waist. I felt the weight of them on either side of me, surrounding me, claiming me. My wolf had howled for them, had chosen them.The very enemies who killed my parents.I dropped the rag, pressing both hands to my face. My palms smelled of soap and stone dust, but beneath it, I swore I could still scent them. My wolf purred at the memory. My stomach turned.“No,” I whispered harshly, shaking my head. “It wasn’t real. It wasn’t me. It was… it was heat.”That had to be it. I hadn’t even known what was happening. T

Silvermoon pack

Rael’s POV“…and if we push patrols too far east, the west side becomes a blind spot,” Derrin was saying, his finger stabbing at the glowing map on the screen.Kael snorted. “So basically, no matter where we put them, rogues get a free pass somewhere.”“That’s not what I said.” Derrin rolled his eyes. “Try listening for once.”Mother gave him a sharp look. “Watch your tone with the princes.”Kael smirked. “It’s fine, Mother. Derrin’s just cranky because he hasn’t had breakfast.”A couple of the council members chuckled. Even I couldn’t stop the grin tugging at my lips.Marlow, the advisor, leaned back in his chair. “Maybe if Kael spent more time reading these reports and less time sneaking wine, he’d have solutions instead of sarcasm.”The table erupted in laughter, and Kael shot me a look like he expected me to defend him. I just raised my hands. “Hey, I’m not saving you from that one.”It felt good to laugh for once. For a brief moment, the heavy air of the palace didn’t feel so crus

Betrayed

Liah’s POV“You always look so guilty when I say your name,” Jace said, a teasing grin on his face.I felt my face get hot. “Maybe because you’re always sneaking up on me.”He laughed softly. “Or maybe you’ve got a secret.”For a second, my heart stopped. Could he know? But then he winked, like it was just a joke, and I forced myself to laugh.“The only secret I have is how much I hate carrying these around,” I said, nodding at the stack of sheets in my arms.“Here, let me help.” Before I could stop him, he took half the linens. His hand brushed against mine, just for a second, but it sent a little shock through my arm.“You don’t have to…”“Relax,” he said, easily balancing the load. “What kind of guy would I be if I didn’t help?”The way he said it, so simple and kind, made my chest feel tight. I looked down at the floor.“You’re different, Marin,” he said, his voice quieter now. “Not like everyone else around here.”My throat closed up. If only he knew how true that was.This was g

What's Real

I groaned as my eyes cracked open, morning light stabbing through the small window. My head felt heavy, my chest heavier.“Ugh… I knew the plan with Jace was a mistake,” I whispered to myself, voice rough from sleep. “Now my friends hates me. How am I supposed to stay sane in this cursed palace?”I dragged myself out of bed, dressed, and gathered the pile of linens for duty. Every step down the corridor made my chest tighter, dread curling in my stomach.Tessa was in the laundry room bent over the table, sorting piles of uniforms. She didn’t even glance at me.My throat burned. I couldn’t stand it anymore.“Tessa,” I said softly, setting the stack down. “About yesterday… it wasn’t what it looked like with Jace.”Her shoulders stiffened, but she didn’t turn. The sheet in her hands slipped, falling back into the water with a wet slap.“I didn’t mean for you to get hurt,” I tried again, setting the basket down. “Jace was just helping me. That’s all.”Still nothing. My stomach twisted.I

The Trap

Aurora's POV“You called for us, Your Highness.”“Yes. I did.”I let my gaze settle on them, sharp and deliberate. “What are your names?”“Tess, Your Highness.” The small one squeaked it out, her heartbeat rattling against her ribs.“Maris, Your Highness,” the other said, braver or simply hungrier.I allowed a smile. “Good. Now I’ve heard it from your own mouths. So I’ll know exactly who to blame if either of you disappoint me.”Their fingers twisted white in their skirts, heads lowering further.“You two,” I went on, voice smooth, “seem close to Marin, don’t you?”They flinched. Tess whispered first, “Y..yes, my queen.”“Don’t be scared,” I said lightly. “Tell me, what do you know about her?”Tess’s eyes darted to Maris, a silent plea. The girl was screaming without making a sound. “Why, Your Highness? Is she… in trouble?”I snapped my gaze to her. “You dare question me, little one?”Her knees hit the floor so fast the crack echoed. “I dare not, Your Highness!”Maris edged forward, sh

The Reckoning

"Hold on a second," Rael spoke and the guards paused. "You just found out it was missing an hour ago. That's a really big search for one necklace. Are you sure you didn't just lose it somewhere?" For a second, I felt a flicker of hope. He was being logical. But Aurora was ready. Her face instantly looked hurt. She turned to the Queen, her eyes filling with fake tears. “Do you hear this, Mom? He's taking her side. My dad's necklace is gone and he's acting like I'm the one causing problems." She let a tear fall. "I was just so upset. I wasn't thinking straight." Rael, who had been quiet, finally spoke up. "Hey, no one's saying you're wrong to be upset. We're just saying maybe we should slow down. Make sure we have the whole story.""Slow down?" Aurora's voice broke with a sob. She held up the necklace. "It was in her bag, Rael! How much more of a story do you need? Are you defending her now?"She looked at the Queen, playing the perfect victim. "I just wanted my family's things to

It Was You All Along

Liah's POVTwo days.That's how long I'd been rotting in this cell. Two days without food, without water. My throat burned raw, my stomach twisted in on itself, and every breath felt like it scraped my ribs.But the worst part wasn't the hunger. It was knowing Aurora had won.I lay curled on the bench, lips cracked, tongue thick. My hands shook as I pushed myself upright.When the door creaked open earlier, I'd begged. "Please. Just water." My voice had come out hoarse. The guard hadn't even looked at me. He'd dropped the plate just outside the bars, far enough that I couldn't reach it, then locked the door and walked away.That plate was still there. The bread stale, crawling with ants. A reminder. A taunt.Aurora's laughter still rang in my ears. Her voice, sweet and poisonous, telling them I was jealous, that I was nothing. And they'd believed her. At least enough to put me here.I thought I had a plan. I thought I'd come back strong enough to tear her lies apart, to rip her world
