"Look here. Isn't this Ms. Elena Nightbloom? What? Hasn't the old bastard croaked yet?" Mia's lackey said, sneering.I lowered my head and held out the coins. "I want to buy medicine. Please, just sell me a small potion. If my father doesn't get it soon, he'll die.""Not selling," Freya Evercrest barked as she stepped forward.She was the werewolf in charge of the healing center. Before, she would always be very respectful when she saw me, but now she stood there with her arms crossed, her face cold with indifference."The Alpha King has decreed that descendants of criminals are not entitled to the Kingdom's resources.""My father isn't a criminal! He's the former Alpha King! He shed blood for this Kingdom!" I yelled."That was before."Freya kicked the muddy puddle at her feet. "If you really want the medicine… The ground's a bit dirty. Lick it clean, then maybe I'll consider it."The muddy puddle was mixed with feces from some unknown animal.A crowd of curious onlookers had

Dad lay in a pool of blood. The silver dagger was still lodged in his chest, blood pouring endlessly and staining the frozen soil beneath him.I stood there, frozen in place.The Omegas were scared stupid, too. They scrambled back, pulling their pants up as they went.Lucas clicked his tongue. "What bad luck," he said from the platform, waving his hand dismissively. "But it's good that he's dead, too. Saves us the trouble of finding a place to bury him."Mia, nestled against him, stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear.Lucas' eyes lit up as he looked at me."Elena, the old bastard's dead, but his stuff is still around, right? Hand over the Alpha King's seal, and I'll allow you to collect his corpse."I fell to my knees and crawled toward Dad.There was no seal. He'd left nothing behind—nothing except the life he'd given up so that he wouldn't drag me down."There isn't one…" I rasped. "There's nothing…""You're not going to tell me?" Lucas sneered.He snapped h

Lucas continued to scream as he was dragged away."I want to see the High Sorcerer! I've been framed! The High Sorcerer can prove it!"The High Sorcerer was the descendant of a witch who always wore a kindly smile but was venomous at his core. He was also Lucas' strategist and one of the accomplices who had nearly gotten the Kingdom wiped out back then.In the crowd, the High Sorcerer quietly retreated, trying to slip away unnoticed."Leaving already?"I leaped forward and slammed him to the ground. With a loud roar, he was forced into submission.Looking down at him, I said coldly, "High Sorcerer, the drugs Lucas used—you were the one who concocted them, weren't you?""I don't know what you're talking about," he insisted, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Princess, this is all a misunderstanding…""A misunderstanding?"I pulled out a talisman from inside my clothes. This was something hidden among my father's belongings. I hadn't known its purpose until my bloodline awakened

The next morning, the werewolves gathered at the execution ground.Lucas and Mia were bound to pillars. Mia, already having wet herself in terror, continued cursing Lucas relentlessly for being useless.That was just the kind of she-wolf she was—one who never once reflected on herself.I stood on the platform."Lucas Ashbourne and his accomplices are guilty of treason against the Kingdom, regicide, and trafficking pups."He is hereby sentenced to execution by soul-shattering."Soul-shattering wasn't just a simple death. Instead, it used a secret technique to shatter the wolf's soul, preventing it from rejoining the ancestral spirits and erasing it from existence completely.It was the harshest punishment for werewolves."Proceed!"At my command, several burly executioners raised their heavy hammers."No! Elena! I love you! I really love you! You can't do this to me!" Lucas screamed desperately.The first hammer fell with a loud bang, and his anguished scream pierced through
