The Moonstone shattered.Every candle in the great hall exploded into black flame.For one terrible second, no one moved.Then the palace screamed.The floor beneath us split open with a deafening crack, sending a wave of red light across the stone. Tables overturned. Goblets flew through the air. Wolves shouted as they stumbled backward.Cassian grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against him.“Stay with me.”His voice cut through the chaos.I clutched his coat.“I’m here.”The Shadow King stood at the center of the hall, surrounded by darkness.His hood concealed most of his face, but I could feel his gaze fixed on me.“The sacrifice begins.”“No.”Cassian stepped forward.The Shadow King laughed.“You still believe your sword can protect her?”Cassian drew his blade completely.“I don’t need a sword to destroy you.”The Shadow King raised one hand.The black flames surged toward us.Cassian pushed me behind him.A wall of silver light exploded from his body.The flames struck

The Gate opened beneath the palace.And the man wearing Cassian’s face smiled.For one terrible second, I couldn’t move.He looked exactly like my husband.Same black hair.Same sharp jaw.Same silver-gray eyes.Same voice.But he wasn’t Cassian.I knew it.Every instinct inside me screamed it.Cassian stepped in front of me.“Don’t come any closer.”The impostor tilted his head.“You always were protective of what belonged to you.”Cassian’s sword was already in his hand.“She doesn’t belong to anyone.”The impostor smiled.“That is not what the Gate believes.”The floor trembled.A deep crack spread beneath our feet.Black light poured from it.The ancient heartbeat returned.Boom.Boom.Boom.My blood responded immediately.Pain shot through my veins.I grabbed my arm.The silver mark burned.Cassian looked back at me.“Seraphine?”“I’m fine.”The lie barely left my mouth before the impostor moved.He disappeared.Cassian spun.Steel struck steel.The sound exploded through the hal

The Gate was waiting for me.I could feel it beneath the palace.It wasn’t a sound.It wasn’t a voice.It was a presence.Ancient.Patient.Hungry.I stood frozen with the Crown of the Blood Moon still in my hands.My mother’s voice had disappeared, but her final warning remained inside my head.Do not trust the man who wears your king’s face.I looked at Cassian.He was watching me carefully.“Your mother spoke to you?”I nodded.“She said she was where the first queen died.”Alaric’s expression changed.“You heard her clearly?”“Yes.”“What else?”“She told me you finally found the crown.”Alaric looked at the ancient crown in my hands.Then he whispered, “She knew.”“What?”“She knew you would find it.”Cassian stepped closer.“How?”Alaric didn’t answer.I stared at him.“You know something.”He sighed.“There are things your mother never told me.”“But you knew she was preparing me.”“I knew she was preparing you for something.”“That’s not the same thing.”“No.”His eyes dropped

The Gate whispered my name again.“Seraphine…”I opened my eyes.The room was empty.Cassian stood near the doorway, speaking quietly with the guards, but I could still feel the ancient presence beneath the palace.It was calling me.Waiting for me.And after what I had just learned, I no longer believed the Gate was simply a door.It was a prison.A weapon.And perhaps the grave of an entire bloodline.I looked at the diary burning in my memory.The five bloodlines.The five traitors.The five chains.And one missing bloodline.The Blood Moon family.I turned toward Alaric.“You said the Blood Moon line was hidden.”“Yes.”“But the diary says it was destroyed.”Alaric’s expression became serious.“Not exactly.”“Then tell me what happened.”He glanced at Cassian.Cassian immediately turned.“We’re listening.”Alaric walked toward the old shelves lining my mother’s room.He pulled out several ancient books.Dust fell from their covers.“These records were forbidden.”I frowned.“Why?”

The moment the voice disappeared, the room became unbearably silent.“Come find me, sister.”The words kept repeating inside my head.My sister.For years, I had believed I was alone.Now I knew that somewhere beyond the mountains, somewhere hidden from the Shadow Council and perhaps even from the royal family, there was another woman carrying my blood.Another Blood Moon heir.And she had been waiting for me.But before I could take another step toward the door, Cassian spoke.“Seraphine.”I froze.His voice was different.Not angry.Not commanding.Hurt.I slowly turned around.Cassian stood several feet away, his expression unreadable. His silver eyes were fixed on me.“How much of this did you already know?”My heart dropped.“Cassian…”“How much?”I swallowed.The question wasn’t about my sister.It wasn’t even about the Blood Moon.He was asking about me.About the secrets I had kept from him.And for the first time since I had returned to the past, I realized there was one trut
