Chapter 91

CHARLOTTE The realm trembled beneath my feet as though the world itself had lost its balance. Dust fell in thin streams from the sky, spiraling like silver ashes. I held my children—one pressed tightly against my chest, the other against my shoulder, both warm, both breathing, both mine.my son whimpered, his tiny hands fisting the front of my blood-stained dress.“I’ve got you,” I whispered, kissing the top of his head even as the shaking intensified.A sudden burst of silvery-white light exploded before us. My entire body stiffened. Lyra gasped beside me.And then… she appeared. The Moon Goddess as a living, breathing being—beautiful beyond anything a mortal tongue could attempt to describe.Her long, floating hair shimmered like moonlit waterfalls. Her eyes were galaxies, silver swirling with soft amethyst, endless and ancient. Her gown flowed like it was woven from the night sky itself, sprinkled with drifting stars. Her presence felt like warmth and cold at the same time.No one

Chapter 92

CHARLOTTE Sleep used to be a refuge.A place I slipped into when the world grew too heavy. But now my dreams belonged to someone else.The moment my eyes closed, darkness dragged me under and his voice waited.Liam.“Charlotte…” His whisper slid across my skin like a cold hand trailing down my spine. “Come now… don’t pretend you don’t hear me.”I spun around, but there was no ground beneath my feet—just endless shadow. A shape emerged from it. A tall silhouette, built of smoke and hunger. Liam’s eyes glowed red, watching me with predatory affection.“You’re wasting yourself on Jeffrey,” he murmured as he drifted closer. “He will lose this war. He will lose you. But I…” His fingers, made of shifting darkness, brushed my cheek. “I can make you queen.”“Don’t touch me,” I hissed, stepping back.But shadows coiled around my ankles, holding me in place.Liam smiled slowly. “Fight me all you want. You and I are entwined now. You felt it, didn’t you? The realm’s collapse tied us tighter. Em

Chapter 93

CHARLOTTE I couldn’t breathe.Even after the crypt doors finally released me and the world snapped back into its proper shape, I couldn’t catch my breath. My lungs felt heavy. My mind was a battlefield. And my heart—goodness, my heart felt like it was cracking open under a weight I didn’t fully understand.I walked through the palace halls like a ghost. People greeted me but their voices sounded distant, muffled. As though someone had stuffed cotton into my ears.Emmalaine’s last words replayed again and again:Exactly where we wanted you.A shiver ran through me.Wanted me. And the worst part? That unsettling pull inside my chest. The whisper that wasn’t mine.The dark itch beneath my skin urging—Find her. End her. Finish what she started.I hated it. But it lingered, coiling through my veins.By the time I reached our room, Jeffrey was already there—back to me, staring out the window, shoulders stiff.He didn’t turn when he spoke.“Where were you?”The question was soft. Too soft.

Chapter 94

CHARLOTTEI didn’t breathe.For a moment or maybe two, the entire world froze around me as my eyes dragged over the blood-red seal on the raven’s letter. My fingers trembled violently as I cracked it open, already knowing it would be bad, already feeling the panic stirring inside my chest like a rising storm.But nothing prepared me for the words written inside.“Meet me at the Blood Well, or your mother dies.”A sharp gasp tore from my throat. My pulse shot so fast it felt like my veins were being ripped apart from the inside.“Hell, no!.” My voice cracked as the letter slipped from my hand and fluttered to the floor.I turned sharply toward the hallway.“Lina!” I called, shouting for the maid who’d been assigned to care for my mother. “Lina! Where are you?!”An eerie, suffocating silence that pressed on my lungs.“Lina!” I screamed again, louder, desperate, because she ALWAYS answered on the first call.I didn’t wait anymore. I didn’t think. I grabbed my sword from the table, the me

Chapter 95

EMMALAINECharlotte’s face was priceless.The horror in her eyes was exactly the kind of expression I had craved for years. It washed over me like warm sunlight after a long winter, and I couldn’t stop the laugh that bubbled up my throat.A sweet, delighted, unhinged laugh.It echoed through the Blood Well clearing, drifting between the gnarled trees and mixing with the stench of old magic. Her fear, her rage, her desperation—oh, it was intoxicating.“You…” Charlotte breathed, her chest rising and falling too quickly. “I can’t believe you’d actually—”“Kill your mother?” I finished for her, smiling slowly. “Oh, sweetheart. You believed it the moment you came running here.”She flinched. That made me grin wider.“Bring her to me.” Charlotte’s voice shook, but her stare hardened. “I don’t have time for your sick games, Emmalaine. Where is my mother?”“Oh, darling,” I whispered, tilting my head. “But the games are the sweetest part.”She didn’t move. She didn’t blink. She didn’t breathe.

Chapter 96

CHARLOTTEThe aftermath of what Emmalaine had tried to do left the palace in chaos. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat, and my hands shook as I clutched the small blanket wrapped around my child. Kieran stirred in my arms, his soft whimpers piercing through my fog of disbelief. The sound of clanging armor and harsh voices echoed through the grand hall as the royal warriors dragged Emmalaine away. She screamed, writhing against their grip, every syllable dripping venom. “You’ll see! Rowan’s the traitor! He’s been framing me! I’ve done nothing wrong!” Her voice was manic, shrill, bouncing off the marble walls.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to keep my focus. Jeffrey’s footsteps came heavily behind me. He knelt beside Kieran and gave me a hand on my shoulder. “Charlotte… are you alright?” His voice was low, steady, but the fury in his eyes burned like fire.I nodded, but my stomach twisted. Fixing this meant unraveling a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal so

Chapter 97

CHARLOTTEI woke to the sensation of something coarse digging into my wrists. Rope. Tight. Burning. My arms were stretched above me, pulled so taut my shoulders throbbed. At first, I didn’t understand where I was, my mind felt thick, cottony, like it was wading through fog. I couldn't even remember how I passed out in the first place.Then the sounds hit me.Crying. Whimpering. Metal clinking. A crowd shouting and cheering.My eyes flew open, my heart lurching. I sucked in a sharp breath.I was tied on a platform—no, a stage. My back was pressed against a wooden post, my wrists bound above my head. Ropes dug into my ankles too, pinning me in place.And around me… women. Dozens of them. Terrified, trembling, some barely clothed, others clutching each other as if that could shield them from the horror around us. Their fear vibrated through the air.“What?” My voice cracked, dry and weak. What had happened? How am I still here?Then a wave of dizziness hit so suddenly my vision blurred.

Chapter 98

CHARLOTTE I regained consciousness slowly, as though dragging myself up through a heavy, tar-thick darkness that clung to my lungs and bones. My eyelids felt as though weights had been sewn into them, but when I finally managed to pull them open, the first thing I felt was not fear, though perhaps it should have been, but a nauseating wave of disorientation, the kind that made my stomach twist and my mouth dry instantly. Cold iron pressed against my back, biting into my skin, and when I shifted, I heard the telltale rattle of chains. My wrists were pulled above my head, secured to a metal ring hammered into the stone wall behind me. My legs were free but weak, the aftereffects of whatever drug they had shoved into me making my limbs tremble. The dim lights in the room flickered, shadows sliding over the damp walls like creatures slithering forward to watch me. And standing in front of me was a man whose face made my heart drop into the pit of my stomach.He was tall—taller than Jeff

Chapter 99

CHARLOTTE The first thing I remember is the cold.Not the ordinary kind of cold, not the kind you feel when you step outside without a coat. No—this one crawled through my bones like something alive, something vicious, something patient. It gnawed at me slowly, like it enjoyed taking its time. My wrists ached from the restraints that had bitten so deeply into my skin that I was sure flesh had begun to decay under the metal. My throat was raw from screaming hours earlier. I didn’t know how much time had passed. The room had no windows, no sense of day or night, and my mind was slipping somewhere between delirium and numbness.But the pain kept dragging me back. Sharp, hot, pulsing pain that made it impossible to escape inside my head.I didn’t even know I had fallen asleep until I felt fingers grip my jaw and jerk my face upward.“Wake up, princess,” Liam murmured, his voice a sickening mixture of boredom and amusement. “Don’t die on me yet. We’re not done.”My eyes fluttered open, bl

Chapter 100

ALPHA JEFFREY The moment Liam pressed the blade to Charlotte’s throat, something inside me snapped so violently that the world blurred and sharpened at the same time. My wolf slammed against my ribcage, clawing, roaring, demanding blood—demanding his death. I could barely see straight. Every instinct in me screamed to rip Liam apart, to tear every breath out of his lungs. But one wrong move… and that blade would go right through her neck.“Liam,” I growled, my voice nothing human anymore, “don’t you touch her—”A sudden shift in the air made me turn fractionally, and I caught the slightest shadow moving behind Liam. Rowan who was silent as death. He had come around the back without making so much as a whisper. For one perfect second, Liam didn’t notice.Rowan stepped on a loose stone deliberately, making it roll.Liam’s head whipped toward the sound—That was my second.I lunged.The shift into half-wolf tore through me mid-air—bones stretching, claws exploding out of my fingertips,
