After her snarl faded, a smile tugged at her lips. The thought of being a Princess sent a rush of pride through her chest, and she let out a low snort.'Now that I'm a Princess too, I'm no lesser than that bitch Victoria,' she thought with venom.Her gaze drifted back to the man she now had to call "father." To her, he was nothing more than a meal ticket. Yes, he was tall and handsome—but he lacked the overwhelming aura of the Alpha King, and his body held none of the power she so admired.No matter how she looked at him, Dimitri seemed lesser. The realization soured her pride because it meant that Victoria still stood above her in rank. Raquel's smile faltered, her brows knitting together in irritation.Dimitri spoke for hours, recounting everything. He told her how he had been sent to the White Crescent Pack for a year of training, to learn combat and strategy, only to unexpectedly meet his first love—her mother, Rosalie. Rosalie had been warm, radiant, fiery yet kind, like sunlight

"But Victoria? She's just a wolfless omega. How could she be heir apparent when she couldn't even stop her own pack from bullying her as Luna of the Redmoon Pack?"Her words were not just defiance; they were a threat. Raquel was warning the Alpha King that if he dared harm her, she would spread the truth: Victoria was nothing but a wolfless mutt. And once that truth spread, Victoria's claim to the throne would crumble, for a kingdom built on strength could never accept a wolfless woman as its ruler."Sweetheart, what do you mean by wolfless? And… Luna?" Dimitri asked, his face a mixture of disbelief and confusion.Raquel's lips trembled, but she pressed on, voice quivering. "Father… did you truly not know? Victoria was Luna of the Redmoon Pack for three years. And yet, in all that time, she never once shifted into her wolf form. Every time she was injured, she had to go to the clinic for bandages; her wolf couldn't even heal her. That can only mean… she doesn't have a wolf anymore."A

"Guards! Take her away and deliver one hundred lashes with the silver whip!"His roar dripped with unrestrained rage and disdain, leaving the air heavy with dread. Moments later, the guards stormed in. Two of them seized Raquel by the arms, their grips like iron shackles.She struggled desperately, but it was useless; their hold was unyielding, dragging her forward despite her thrashing. The more she fought, the more pitiful and disgraced she appeared.And though she once dreamed of mingling with nobles as their equal, this scene would forever cling to her, an indelible image of humiliation that would ensure she was looked down upon from this day forth."Brother…" Dimitri began, his voice heavy with conflict. Everything he had just heard from his older brother was so shocking that his mind felt numb, and his heart ached for his niece.Yet, Raquel was still his daughter, the child of his beloved first love. No matter her faults, he couldn't bring himself to abandon her. Guilt gnawed at

The Royal Guards stationed before the stage, ensuring no one dared interfere, offered explanations, but only because the Alpha King had ordered them to. "She is the newly acknowledged daughter of Prince Dimitri Rosenthal," one of the royal guard announced, his voice ringing out for all to hear. "Yet she once conspired to kill the Royal Princess in order to seduce the Princess's fated mate, Alpha Carlisle Redmoon…" A wave of shock rippled through the crowd, gasps echoing in unison. Then, breaking the silence, a small boy snatched up a stone and hurled it at Raquel. "Bad woman!" he shouted. It was as if a switch had been flipped. Suddenly, voices rose in anger, and the air filled with curses and stones pelting toward the stage. Raquel now suffered not only the savage lash of the whip but also the sting of rocks striking her bruised body. She longed to fight back, but her strength was gone. Her wolf refused to answer her calls, and the silver cuffs drained her of all power, leav

Back then, he had seemed almost resigned to sharing her downfall, as though her death would drag him willingly into ruin. But now, with his daughter lying pale and broken in his arms, Dimitri looked like a man whose entire world was on the verge of collapse.Many who witnessed the scene could not help but raise their brows. Was this truly the same Dimitri they knew?Dimitri laid Raquel gently on the medical bed as the staff rushed to surround her. His eyes, however, darted past them, searching frantically for the ones he trusted most, the head of the ward, the Royal Doctor, and the Royal Healer, both renowned as the best in their fields."Where are they?!" Dimitri's roar thundered through the ward, his voice echoing off the stone walls. "Bring me the Royal Doctor and the Royal Healer, now! Heal my daughter!"The sheer force of his command rattled the healers and attendants alike, fear flickering in their eyes as the weight of his fury filled the room."Where are they?! Why haven't the
