"You don't have a mate's permission either” I scoffed. "Do I need his permission to breathe?" He smiled. “Legally, in cross border transit, you do," he said. "Whose mate are you?” I couldn't answer for a moment as his face flashed in my mind. I wrapped my hand around myself. "Thorne Ruinfang” His expression suddenly softened. That was the first time his expression would change. "That's my nephew” I gasped. That means he was the Alpha king. The one everyone was scared of.

"But we will build a new one. Better and stronger. A kingdom where power is earned, not stolen. Where loyalty matters more than blood. Where every wolf has a voice." More cheers. Louder this time. Behind them, the palace burned. Ahead, a new kingdom waited to be built. Lyra looked at Elara one last time. Her stepsister stood at the edge of the crowd, alone and forgotten. The substitute had become the queen. And the golden child had nothing left.

I cursed, pushing her out and shutting the door close. *** Tyler was the first to wake me up through my mindlink and then Athena. I rushed out to meet them. "What's going on here?" I asked exchanging glances at the both of them, yelling like toddlers. It was unusual. "Why not ask your Beta," Athena replied, with contempt in her eyes. I turned to Tyler with a questioning look. "The Queen brought in a stranger to replace me and ordered me never to return." What on earth had come over Athena? I turned to her in surprise.

everyone else gathered today. “I am Danika Jove, the late Fae Queen’s first daughter, and I shall become your new Queen.”

“It’s better that way for this situation, isn’t it?” “Very well. You can proceed with your plans. We can discuss your title and your marriage to the princess in a more private area next time. I am depending heavily on you, Lord Adamantine. Please do not fail me,” the Queen said, rising. She left, the king following after her even though he looked a lot more curious than she was. The moment they were gone, Temara jumped on Sebastian, squealing loud enough to blow his eardrums. “She approved of it in one try! You’re amazing, Lord Sebastian”

Queen mumbled with a smirk “ Okay….what is that little one” Sofia muttered “ Help me get on that plane” Queen said “ Why, where is your guardian or mother” Sofia asked with a knowing look “ Well, I want to go back to my papa and mama, I do not want to stay with my devilish aunty anymore” Queen mumbled “ Okay, I will help you so can I get your name now” Sofia asked “ Queen but you can call me Queenie since you are my friend” Queen said with a smile

I glanced at Reuben, hoping to find reassurance in his eyes, but he too seemed taken aback by the queen's harsh words. "Your Majesty," Reuben interjected, his voice filled with concern.

"Reuben, being a queen is not a task for the faint-hearted. It requires strength, resilience, and the ability to make difficult decisions. The training is designed to prepare Naomi for the challenges she will face as a ruler."
