All Chapters of The Alpha Queen Who Refused To Kneel : Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Lyra stared at her as if the world had just turned upside down.For several long seconds she didn’t move.She didn't even blink.Her eyes swept slowly over Serena’s body again, as though searching for proof that what she was seeing wasn’t real.“…You’re a girl.”The words barely came out as more than a whisper.Serena’s heart slammed violently against her ribs.Panic surged through her so fast it made her dizzy.“Lyra—” she began quickly, stepping forward.Lyra immediately took another step back.“No,” she said sharply.“You’re not Soren,” Lyra said slowly, as if piecing the truth together aloud. “You’re… a girl pretending to be him.”Serena swallowed hard.“Yes,” she admitted quietly, but the word seemed to echo inside the room.Lyra’s eyebrows rose fully now.“You’re serious.”Serena forced herself to hold her gaze.“My name is Serena Vale.”Lyra blinked, and then the recognition flickered across her face.“Vale?” she repeated.Serena nodded slowly.“Youre the bloodline of the Moonc

Damien’s POV“Your precious little friend… is a girl.”Prince’s words hung in the courtyard like it was suspended in midair.For a moment no one moved.Damien pupils went wide instantly.Prince stood in front of him with that infuriating grin, clearly enjoying the reaction he had provoked.This could spiral out of control in seconds.So Damien forced himself to relax and to be smart on his way around this.Then he let out a sharp laugh.It wasn’t loud, but it was convincing enough.“You’re serious?” Damien said, shaking his head.The prince raised a brow.“Lyra has always had a strange sense of humor,” Damien continued calmly. “And clearly you fell for it.”A few of Prince’s friends snorted softly, but Prince didn’t laugh.“You grabbed my shirt pretty fast for someone hearing a joke,” Prince shot back.Damien shrugged.“You were insulting someone I know well enough.”Prince tilted his head slightly, his eyes sharp.“So that’s it?” he asked. “Lyra just randomly decided to lie about Sor

Serene’s POV“Explain yourself.”The words settled over the assembly hall like a blade at her throat.Serene stood at the front, every pair of eyes in the academy fixed on her. She could weigh the weight of each one of their stares. She drew in a slow breath.“My name is Serena Vale,” she began.Her voice echoed across the hall. A ripple moved through the crowd.“She said Serena—”“So. She really is a girl—?”Serene forced herself to continue.“I am the daughter of Alpha Vale of Mooncrest. I came here because I earned my place.”A few students scoffed, others laughed under their breath.She kept going anyway.“I trained for this. I fought for this. I didn’t come here to deceive anyone..I came here because I deserve to be here just as much as any of you.”The murmurs grew louder.This time not just whispers.She could hear voices clearly Bitch… What a wore… She's not supposed to be here.. She ignored and wanted to continue, but before she could say another word—“Enough.”The Pr

Serene’s POV“That’s why I’m here.” Soren said, his expression now grim.She said it was bad news instantly.. She tightened her grip on the saddle, her voice hoarse.“What do you mean?” she asked carefully, almost as if she was afraid to hear his answer. Soren didn’t answer immediately.His silence said too much and it made Serena’s heart begin to pound harder.“Soren,” she pressed, turning slightly to look at him despite the pain it caused her. “What happened?”His jaw tightened.For a moment, she thought he might lie, deflect or say something useless or funny to soften the blow.He didn’t.“... Your father… his condition worsened.”The words were simple but just as sharp. Serene frowned.“No,” she said immediately, shaking her head. “No, that doesn’t make sense. He was stable. The healer said—”“It changed.”Her breath caught.Soren’s voice dropped, his tone quiet. “After the news reached Mooncrest.”Serene still.“…What news?”But deep down—She already knew.Soren didn’t look

The gates of Nightfang loomed ahead of him… The iron gates stretched high into the sky, designed with the symbol of a wolf with his sharp fangs wide open. It was a symbol that Damien had grown up seeing each day for years till he left for the academy.And now…He was returning not as a boy.Now as a man and a true Aloha heir. The gates creaked open slowly, the sound deep and heavy, echoing across the stone path. Damien didn’t slow his steps.He walked forward as elegantly as he could and Sandy followed half a step behind him.The moment they crossed into the courtyard, the sound hit like a tidal wave.A loud and thunderous applause. The entire Nightfang pack had gathered.Rows upon rows of wolves lined both sides of the courtyard, forming a path straight ahead. Warriors. Elders. Servants. Villagers and even children, perched at the edges, stretching their necks to see.“All hail the heir!”“Damien!”“Alpha Damien!”The chants rose, their loud voices tinged with pride and exciteme
