The DecisionElena's POVGreta arrived within minutes, her face creased with worry. "My lady, you should be resting. The King said you nearly died.""I know." I let her help me back to my chambers, playing the part of weak invalid even though my mind raced with panic. "But I feel better now. Truly."She fussed over me, fluffing pillows and checking my temperature with gentle hands. She brought food I could not eat and tea I could not drink. All the while, my thoughts spun in desperate circles.The Crescent Moon Pack was here. My family. They would tell Kieran everything. Expose me as the omega fraud I was. Unless I acted first.I had two choices burning in my mind like brands.Stay and let my family destroy me. Watch as they told Kieran the truth and everything crumbled to ash.Or run."You need to eat something," Greta said, setting a tray on my lap. "Even just a little."I forced myself to take a bite of bread, though it tasted like dust. Greta watched me with concerned eyes, but ev

CHAPTER 34: The Trap SpringsElena povI could not breathe. Hell I forgot how to breathe. Words failed to make sense to me, and the word “little liar” continued to ring in my head numerous times.But no matter how I tried to convince myself that I was in a dream, I knew that it was all true. His dominating aura alone is not something any dream could replicate. Kieran looked nothing like the man I had watched laughing with his concubines. When he stepped out into the light, I felt my soul leave my body. The person standing in front of our passage to freedom was like a raging storm, barely waiting to let loose, his jaw was tightly clenched, and his claws digged into his fist like he was physically restraining himself from committing murder."Your Majesty." Catherine's voice rang out behind me, dripping with false concern. "Thank the gods we found her in time."I spun around, confusion cutting through my panic. Catherine stood with her hand pressed to her chest, eyes wide with what loo

Both rose when I entered, fake smiles plastered on their faces. but I waved them back down with barely concealed irritation."My apologies for keeping you waiting," I said, the words dripping with sarcasm I didn't bother to hide. "Though I suppose waiting is what alphas do best when they come uninvited to foreign territories."Richard's eyes narrowed, but he had the sense to stay quiet.I didn't care about diplomatic niceties. Not tonight. Not when everything in me wanted to be anywhere but here.I settled into my throne with deliberate making sure that the distinction between us was as clear as daylight. They were alphas… strong among wolves, certainly. But I was a Lycan. Ancient blood flowed through my veins, power that

CHAPTER 37: The Throne Room JudgmentElena's POVMorning finally came, the soft glow of sunlight broke through the narrow window of my cell like a cruel joke after years of absence. It was just a few hours but to me, it felt like eternity, as I had cried throughout the night. making me not sleep a wink. How could I, when every shadow felt like a noose tightening around my neck?When I had that instinct that someone or something was watching me, but no matter how hard I tried to look, I didn't see any person.“Maybe it was just in my head” I had told myself throughout the night, trying to be strong, but none worked on me.Not when my worst fear had finally happened. And there's nobody that will save me from my fate.Heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor. My body tensed instinctively. As the sound of bars echoing filled the silence."Get up, omega filth." The guard's voice was thick with mockery as he rattled the bars. "Time to face your judgment. Though I suppose we all know how t

Kirean povThe court was fracturing before my eyes. It was so obvious that majority didnt support the idea of leaving her alive. They continued to demand blood to satisfy their wounded pride. Their bloodlust increased as king darius and the elders continued to fight against my decisions, raisong one concern against the other.I looked at Marcus, who stood rigid near the side entrance, his hand resting on his sword hilt. He tilted his head, triying to establish a connection.“Do we need to clear the room by force?” his voice echoed in my head. He had mindlinked with me.Thats the huge different between lycans and ordinary wolves. Lycan can mindlink with anyone from their paak at will, but the alohaz can only do that with their mate.“Not yet. But possibly soon.” I replied back.“Your Majesty, the situation is deteriorating rapidly. You need to regain control."He was right.
