Her Hidden Crowns Novels & Stories

“Collapsing. Muttering about a crown. Your crown.” Sound dies in my ears. A crown. My crown — Mother’s relic hidden in the vaults, the symbol of the right they stole from us. How does a feverish human, bleeding and delirious, know that? My stomach drops into a well. The blood-ink is doing more than bend minds; it’s spilling my secrets.

Her smile, laced with blood, looked haunting. A Haunt swept in, scattering the cash and gold bars from the car. Sparks flew, and the flames roared to life with a loud whoosh. I pulled a gold bar from my pocket. "Hear me, infant spirits, it's time for our final showdown!" The winds howled as I watched my mom wail in despair. Her tears were for her wealth, not a shred of worry for me. I spun around and plunged into the swirling darkness without a second thought.

Kael moved toward her immediately. "Ariana!" She couldn't answer. The voice grew louder. The Crown has awakened. Images flooded her mind again . A throne. A kingdom.

But just as Aurora turned to face her people, the joy split like glass. A gust of shadow surged from the rear of the assembly, cold and malevolent. Screams tore through the crowd as Elder Eric emerged from beneath a shifting illusion spell. His cloak was woven from night itself, and his eyes glowed with the fury of betrayal. “You crown a mutt! A hybrid queen! I will not kneel to a disgrace!” he bellowed, his voice laced with ancient magic.

The secret vault. The ring. All of it. Love. Later that night Alicia found another envelope hidden inside the bottom of the box. So well concealed she'd missed it before. Her pulse quickened immediately. "Alex." He looked up. "What?" She held up the envelope. His eyes widened. "Well that's definitely new." The paper had yellowed with age. The seal was nearly brittle. Across the front were only three words. If you found her. Henry's handwriting again. Alicia carefully opened it.

Total submission had a second verse and she would sing it. I lifted the crown in the hidden space. Iron. Siberian dark. The weight had always been meant for a Blood Alpha line the Veil tried to unmake. Putting it on her in front of the plate who had helped the unmaking was a kind of justice that did not need my claws. The curtain ring whispered.

It was a hard fact that saved me multiple times. Since we were on the topic of chances, I had to say that coronation was even more interesting than I expected. When someone said coronation, I was expecting a boring thing with long speeches and crowns. In the ocean it was different. There were no speeches. The crowns were made of gold and another stone.

“Your decision doesn't make sense, old man! Withdraw it and return my position.” “Release your filthy hands from my Grandpa. I am the ruler here." Andy's demeanor and gaze turned cold and authoritative, like that of a king, causing Lewis to weaken and feel as if under immense pressure. Silence… no sound at all, as if everyone present was hypnotized by Andy's aura of majesty. Their gazes seemed to worship Andy as an extraordinary leader. Sebastian nudged Lewis's body and adjusted his collar. Lewis's body trembled intensely; in his view, he saw Andy wearing a magnificent royal robe and crown.
