Crown With Blood Novels & Stories

“I know.” A small, breathless smile curved his mouth. “And I love you too,” she whispered. Below them, the lake caught the light and held it, and the forest around it carried that warmth inward—through root and stone, through corridor and heart—until it reached the quieter halls of the palace, where another choice waited with equal patience. Corren stood alone in the Hall of Roots, the Verdant Crown resting upon its living pedestal. It was not forged by fire but shaped by time—wood veined with gold, leaves eternally green along its arch. The chamber smelled of earth and rain, ancient and steady.

A dead son. A throne that should’ve been his, given instead to his younger brother a man who’d been weak, emotional, easily manipulated. And when Aldric died under suspicious circumstances (poison, everyone whispered, though no one dared say it aloud), the crown had gone to Aldric’s boy. To Daemon, who was even weaker than his father, even more easily corrupted. Now, at three in the morning, with his knees aching against stone worn smooth by centuries of penitence, Marcus received the message.

She leaned forward slightly, those dark eyes taking in every etched detail with clinical efficiency that few humans could achieve and fewer still could bear to watch. “Give me the other two,” she said softly. I handed her the other document and rotated it until the rune clusters matched up. They were similar but not identical. Concentric circles. Magic conduits. Anchor points. Evelina drummed one long ivory finger against the paper. “This isn’t a ward,” she murmured. “No,” I confirmed. She looked up at me, then her eyes were alight with understanding. “It’s a bloodline.” I leaned back in my chair. “I know.”

Wolf symbols carved into the surface glowed faintly, reacting to something unseen in the room. Power rolled from it immediately. Cold, heavy and alive. I felt the throne beneath the mountain react instantly. So did everyone else. Several wolves inhaled sharply as pressure filled the chamber hard enough to bend instinct itself. The Blood Crown. Real. After centuries of being treated like myth. Thomas stared openly from the back wall. “That is absolutely cursed.” “Thomas,” Vera warned quietly. “I’m serious. Look at it.” Honestly? He wasn’t wrong. The thing looked dangerous. Elias’s attention shifted toward me again.

"The car held a first-aid kit, top-shelf liquor, and three hundred brand-new Brownings. "What's your call on handling them? Your wish is my command." With those words, a hush fell over the hall, thick and heavy as a tomb. I could feel Nolan's stare, sharp as a blade on my skin, but I did not look back. "Sophia!" Nolan's voice, laced with restrained fury, came from behind me. "Are you out of your mind? Do you even know who William Vincent is? He's got more blood on his hands than the entire Winston clan!"

“The first king cannot return without a body.” Shigure looked at me. “A body carrying royal tide blood and wolf memory.” Cael gave a bitter laugh. “So everyone chose the same girl.” The book opened again. This page showed the blood moon. Three crowns circled beneath it. The Tide Crown. The Stormcrest Crown. A third crown made from black bone. Words burned across the glass. WHEN THE THREE CROWNS MEET, THE FIRST KING MAY RISE. THE LAST QUEEN MUST BE EMPTIED.

The sound dropped me to one knee. My hands flew to my head. Cassian’s blood, the Crown whispered. The Heart is open. Cassian staggered back, one hand pressed to his bleeding arm. The corpse crawled through the broken shield. Slowly now. Enjoying it. Its crown was not metal. It was fused bone, black thorns grown from its skull, dripping with shadow. Silver roots twisted around its ribs like veins. Beneath them, something moved in its chest, red and wet, beating where a heart should have been.

Octavia murmured to herself but still loud enough for my ears. "What? What did you suspect?" I quickly demanded. I wanted to know what she was thinking. "Ordinary true-blood vampires are strong because they are born that way, but the royal ones are far beyond the estimated strength. Though, there are just a few of the royal families left in the ancient world. Their bloodlines are believed to be inherited from the original creator of the vampire race. That explains why you were awakened earlier, why you have characteristics of a real vampire even though you're just half-blood. Now everything falls into place."

"I'm listening?" "Well, you see... it's in the tradition. The throne shouldn't be vacant for more than a month and it's about three months now that no one has sat on the throne. So the elders and I have agreed that you'll be crowned King in two weeks time and also, your wedding will take place on the day of your coronation." "Wait...all these are too much for me."

The honor a knight earns in battle, defense for the weak, and even standing bravely where no one will and can. THE CROWN. A royal blooded title, pride, and the entirety of their lives deal, where their world revolves and is only known for. Taken as the highest in the towering pedestal of their lives, it is the throne where blood and sins were covered. With its brightness and fame as the ruler and ruling stance of their lives, it is the dark and menacing life that only cares for power and luxury, that even the purest one can be tainted with its darkness.
