Kira’s POVAnd then, there’s my father.The thought hit me out of nowhere, sharp and unwelcome, as I sat on the throne pretending to listen to another debate about grain stores and blood tithes.Flashback:Hours after…on the same day I finally woke up after everything went to hell, they took me straight to him.I don’t even remember deciding to run. After Thomas told me everything I needed to know, the next second, I was bursting through heavy wooden doors, lungs burning, bare feet slapping against cold stone. And there he was.My father. Alive. Breathing. Looking at me like I was the only thing that still made sense in his broken world.He looked…better, compared to the first time I saw him. His beards were shaved, his hair trimmed and he looked like he finally took a bath after a long time.I crashed into his arms so hard it knocked the breath out of both of us. I held him like a little girl again, arms locked around his waist, face buried in his chest. For a few precious seconds,

Kira’s POVMy thoughts drifted further while the council murmured. Back in LA, reporters were having a field day with the fake Summers family. Last I checked the news, they were in absolute ruins. Corporate lawsuits piling up, employees suing for abuse, even their own staff turning on them.The empire Frederick stole by killing my mother and me, was crumbling like wet cardboard right in front of him.He can’t fix their ruin.I remembered one clip that made me snort-laugh in the middle of breakfast. Frederick screaming at some reporter, red-faced and wild-eyed… “This is not our end! We will recover! Adrian Draven has our back!” The desperation in his voice was chef’s kiss hilarious.Especially because two days ago, Frederick had texted Adrian’s phone. The message had been needy and demanding. I’d been the one to read it, sitting on the throne while pretending to listen to tax reports.‘Mr Adrian, when are you stepping in like you promised? We held up our end. The media is killing u

Kira’s POVThe hall went dead silent, like someone had sucked all the air out of it. I gulped hard…visibly, my throat bobbing like I’d swallowed a whole damn orange…but I didn’t step back. My spine stayed straight, shoulders squared, even as Leah paced restlessly under my skin, ready to rip free if things went south.King Valerian stared at me for one long beat… then threw his head back and laughed.A deep, rich belly laugh that echoed off the stone walls. His vampire entourage stayed frozen, faces like marble statues. My own elders looked like they’d been slapped with a frozen fish. Thomas’s hand hovered near his side, probably itching for a weapon that wasn’t there.“Oh, come on,” the Vampire King said, still chuckling as he wiped a nonexistent tear from the corner of his eye. “Look at all your faces! So serious. Do you really think I crossed territories just to demand the queen’s blood like some cheap horror story? Relax, little queen. I’m old, not barbaric.”I let out a slow,

Kira’s POVThe hall buzzed with energy, but my mind was no longer in it. Victoria’s urgent mindlink kept replaying like a drumbeat in my skull. I exhaled slowly, the sound heavier than I meant it to be. Disappointment crashed over me like cold water.It can’t be Adrian. If it was him, I would’ve felt something…anything. A pull. A spark. That familiar warmth in my chest that always came when he was close. But there was nothing. Just silence.I pushed the thought aside and rose to my feet, voice carrying across the room with finality. “If there’s nothing more pressing, I’ll end the meeting here. We’ve covered the important points. Keep the search parties doubled. Update me the moment anything changes with Ariston and his wife. The rest can wait until tomorrow.”Chairs scraped back immediately. Every elder and council member stood, bowing low with genuine respect. “Your Majesty,” they murmured in unison. I gave them a nod and turned, the heavy royal gown swishing around my legs like it

Kira’s POVHis eyes widened as soon as the questions left my mouth. “No, Your Highness! I just… I don’t want you to misunderstand the king. Whatever happened then, it was in the past. He didn’t know better. He loves you deeply…that’s all that matters now.”I rolled my eyes as Leah snarled inside my head. ‘He’s just covering for his bestie. That’s all. Pathetic.’I hissed through my teeth. “Misunderstanding or not, Adrian will still answer for himself when he comes back from his trip. Trust me, I’ll be waiting.” I waved a hand. “Victoria, go on.”Victoria straightened like a soldier giving a report. Her voice stayed steady, but I saw her fingers twitch. “She made the servants insult you…back when you didn’t have a place in the palace. Called you worthless every single time, a fake princess, a charity case the king kept around for amusement. She ordered the servants to beat you when no one important was watching. Small things at first…tripping you in the halls, spilling hot soup on you
