The great doors close with a sound like breaking bones, leaving me alone with the ache of this cursed crown and the weight of a kingdom built on graves. The crown itself pulses against my temples, its once-brilliant gold now tarnished to the color of old blood. It used to shine like captured sunlight, a beacon of hope and righteous rule. Now it hums with an endless network of hairline cracks, each fracture a spider's thread of corruption spreading deeper into the metal and into me.

I begin to pace and describe Tala’s crown, “The stone was yay big, perfectly oval shaped with a smooth cut.” I show her using my hands the size of the centered red stone. Knowing before it would ever be confirmed that the stone Morgan saw in her vision was indeed the exact same one I was describing.

The wedding spirits. They didn’t speak. They didn’t offer any warnings. They simply… bowed their heads. One by one, they crept out from the shadows, wearing tattered wedding gowns, some still bound with the sacrifice threads that had never been severed. In their eyes was darkness that couldn’t be explained. And an agreement that couldn’t be undone. They brought the crown. No longer the crown of blood. But something older. More ancient.

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.

The thing looked dangerous. Elias’s attention shifted toward me again.

They are the results of my blood, sweat, tears and sacrifice. I am the god of Alkhemi. No other King is a match for me. Not the Vampire King. Not Lust who is the head of the Land of Avsky. And definitely not the Lycan King. Rome spits out blood. My eyes widen as I notice its color — it is red. Dark red blood. This must be the reason why his blood is the cure.

Before I know it, the King tucks out a blade and slashes my front torso slantwise; from my left shoulder to a point near my right hip. The sudden pain causes me to wince as I nearly choke on the blood spurting from my mouth. It is a good thing I always could endure pain.

The doctor lowered his head quickly. “Her blood reacts differently than expected.” I moved toward the largest table in the center chamber where dozens of notes and ancient texts had been scattered beside blood samples taken from previous experiments. One symbol had been circled repeatedly across the pages. A crown. The Crown of Night. Interesting how myths stopped sounding like myths once enough blood entered the story. “You knew,” a voice said carefully behind me. I looked toward Malvek standing near the laboratory entrance.
