Ditched Daughter Became Queen Of Apocalypse 소설 & 이야기

] I stood in the middle of the dark mechanic's shop, my dark purple veins crackling with nervous energy. "Outside the city limits?" I muttered, tapping my chin with a four-inch black talon. "A nascent Zombie King signal is incubating in the wasteland outside the city?" My mind raced. If an actual Zombie King reached full maturity, its telepathic command aura would sweep across the entire region, overriding my own Level Two authority and turning every infected in the state into an organized, unstoppable tidal wave. Furthermore, the coordinates matched the external laboratory sector belonging to Apex Bio-Tech—the very same corporate entity that had created the Evo-Gene Alpha Strain I’d stolen,

“It wasn’t unheard of back then. The King of Cerathe, Jonas, kept a harem of mates to produce the strongest offspring as heirs. His daughter Ava runs the country now, but I digress.” “Did momma know?” Annabelle asked. “Lucas made the offer, but whether he made it clear that it was my idea or not, I don’t know. When she took off, I looked for her everywhere. If I hadn’t known any better, I’d have thought she was an assassin herself with how expertly she vanished. When we couldn’t find a trail, we just assumed that Jonas had her and you children killed to get to Lucas.” “What about the man in the hallway?” Lizzy interjected.

Not just from Darius, but from the shadows of her past. She was Vespera. Daughter of the Rejected. Queen of the Eclipse. Mate to the most powerful alpha she had ever known. And her story was only beginning.

She sat before the microphone as evening settled over the compound, Marcus and Priya and Daisy gathered close, Julian patched in from wherever he was currently operating, and took a slow breath before finally speaking. "My name is Sera Ashford," she began, her voice steadier than she felt. "Some of you know me as the Apocalypse Queen. I want to start by telling you that title was never something I chose, and it's never been entirely true. I'm not a queen. I'm not a legend. I'm someone who was scared enough of what was coming that I spent months preparing before anyone else understood there was anything to prepare for, and I've spent every day since trying to live up to choices I'm not always

Among the desperate and the dying, she was known as the woman who would stitch up an Orc’s jagged gash or treat a human’s infection without asking for the payment she knew they didn't have. Marcus, standing ten feet away with his hand on the rusted door of their armored truck, had once been a promising architecture student. But now, he has only built excuses. Rhea had met him in the early months of the collapse. For three years, they had been a pair or so she had convinced herself. But the apocalypse had a way of eroding a man’s foundation, turning solid stone into shifting sand. "He’s alive, Marcus," Rhea grunted, her muscles screaming in protest as she heaved the massive, unconscious stran

“Who else is more capable of leading us into a better future?” Now I’m tongue-tied. Her words are so revering and it’s picking on my confidence. I’ve always felt proud of my victory but never relished letting it get to my head. It’s as if just this once, I’m being permitted to bask in it. Look at their shimmering hopeful eyes, egging me to accept the throne. My mate squeezes my hand in his and when I look at him, he nods confidently at me. I suppose this is it then. I’ll take the front and accept the powerful role my destiny has bestowed upon me. Mom, Dad...everyone else gathered today. “I am Danika Jove, the late Fae Queen’s first daughter, and I shall become your new Queen.”

"Mother... he didn't marry her." Her mother looked at the screen and then back at Zara. "Then the battle for the empire has truly begun, my daughter. If he is free, then Falcon Enterprises is the next move." Zara stood up, the tears from the roadside bench completely dry. She wasn't just a girl in a flat anymore. She was the Queen, and her King had just burned his world down to find his way back to hers.

He struck. The First King fell. I stepped closer. It's over. He looked at me. Not yet. He smiled. Then he pointed behind me. I turned. My daughter was standing there. Kael was unconscious at her feet. The darkness was surrounding her. I screamed. No! The First King laughed. You freed my army. But you forgot the most important piece. My daughter looked at me. Her eyes were black. Mama... I ran toward her. The First King whispered: She is mine again. My daughter raised her hand. The entire darkness exploded. And this time... she wasn't afraid. She was smiling.

She dropped to her knees, her power draining out of her like water through a sieve. "How..." she gasped, horror dawning on her face. "How are you this strong without divine ascension?" Lilith gripped her by the hair, tilting her head back coldly. "Because you fought alone. I brought my monsters with me." I stepped up beside her, resting my heavy hand on her shoulder. "Game over, copycat." Lilith snapped the Apex Queen's neck with a single, clean motion. The variant's body dissolved into the dark void, her ashes scattering like forgotten memories. The last remaining mega-mirror shattered into millions of glowing particles, the obsidian island falling into absolute stillness.

They betrayed her once. This time, she'll make them pay. Arya died believing that loving the wrong people was her greatest mistake. Her husband, Ethan, her best friend, Chloe, and her own mother-in-law left her to face a world consumed by the infected. But fate gives her a second chance. Reborn ninety days before the apocalypse, Arya knows exactly what awaits humanity—and the people who destroyed her. This time, she won't beg for love, sacrifice her fortune, or die for people who never deserved her.
