Aurelia’s POVThe moment I saw King Dominic standing at my doorway, my breath got stuck in my throat. My fingers still clutched the torn document, the pieces trembling between them. My heart raced so fast I could feel it beating in my ears. Of all people to walk in now, it just had to be him.“Your Majesty…” I started, but my voice cracked, weak, unsure.Before I could even form a proper sentence, Selena jumped in with that fake gasp of hers, pressing one hand dramatically against her chest like she was the victim. “My king!” she exclaimed, her tone laced with panic and fake shock. “Those papers she’s holding are the fake documents! She forged them and tried to make it seem like you signed them through a fake Alpha Ken!”“What?” I blurted, my jaw dropping. “That’s a lie! She’s lying!”Selena didn’t even flinch. She stood straight, calm, confident as if she’d practiced the whole scene.King Dominic’s eyes darted between us, confusion and suspicion clouding his face. He bent slightly an

Aurelia’s POVMy hands went cold the moment the words left the maid’s lips.“What do you mean they all died?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.The maid stared at me for a moment before sighing. Her eyes shifted nervously to the door before she leaned in closer. “They didn’t just die,” she said quietly. “They were… offered.”“Offered?” I repeated, my heartbeat suddenly loud in my ears. “Offered to who?”She swallowed hard before replying, “To the Moon Goddess.”I froze, staring at her in disbelief. “You’re lying,” I said, shaking my head. “You can’t, you can’t mean that.”The maid lowered her gaze. “They were sacrifices,” she said, her voice trembling. “Every surrogate who failed to conceive was offered to the goddess. It’s the law of the ritual. Their blood seals the fertility blessing for the next.”My chest tightened so painfully I could barely breathe. “Sacrifices?” I whispered. “So if I don’t—”“If you don’t conceive,” she cut me off quietly, “you’ll meet the same fate.”

Aurelia’s POVI nearly screamed when I saw the shadow move. My breath caught in my throat, and my heart pounded so loud it drowned out every sound in the corridor. For a split second, I thought it was Selena again. My body tensed, ready to run, until the figure stepped closer and the dim torchlight hit her face.It was Lyra.I let out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding, clutching my chest. “Lyra!” I hissed in a whisper, my voice trembling. “What in the goddess’s name are you doing sneaking around at this hour? You scared me half to death!”Lyra raised her hands quickly in apology. She looked anxious, her eyes darting around the hallway. Her small notebook was already in her hand. She scribbled quickly and turned the page toward me.I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you. But you need to come with me right now.I frowned, still catching my breath. “Come with you? Where? It’s the middle of the night.”She shook her head hard and wrote again, her handwriting a bit shaky this tim

Aurelia’s POVSleep had become a punishment.Every time I closed my eyes, the visions clawed their way back. I’d jolt awake drenched in sweat, my breath ragged, my heart pounding so loud I swore it would wake the entire palace.That week, I barely slept at all.No matter how exhausted I was, the moment my eyes shut, I’d see flashes—Selena’s face half-lit by flame, the sound of someone screaming, the smell of iron and rot. I’d hear wolves crying out for mercy that never came. I’d see hands drenched in blood. Hers. Mine.And then I’d wake up again, gasping.I knew I couldn’t go on like that, not knowing what these visions meant or where they came from.So I began testing them.At first, I thought maybe they were just dreams, fragments of my rebirth trying to make sense of my past. But when the same images repeated, faces I didn’t recognize, places I had never been until I realized they weren’t random. They were pieces of something much bigger.Pieces of truth.I had to understand them,

Aurelia’s POVThe moment Dominic shouted at me, something inside me cracked.The look in his eyes, the tone of his voice—it all burned deeper than any blade could. He didn’t even hesitate before choosing her side. Selena’s tears had meant more to him than my pain, my truth, my mother’s death.I stormed out of the hall before I did something I would regret. I could still feel everyone’s eyes on me—guards, servants, even some of the councilmen who had gathered nearby. Their voices swirled in my head as I pushed through the corridors, my steps echoing. My chest felt tight, my throat raw, but I kept walking until I reached my room.The second I shut the door, I broke.I slammed the door so hard the walls shook, then turned and leaned against it, pressing my trembling palms to the wood. My breath came out ragged, uneven. I didn’t even realize I was crying until I tasted the salt on my lips.“Why does she always win?” I whispered to myself, sliding down the door until I sat on the floor. M
