They had faced the darkest of adversaries and emerged victorious, united under the leadership of Alpha Caleb and Lady Victoria.

"Because what we had was real. And what you have, is a cell." The door slammed behind me. Let her rot with her twisted truths. I had a pack to rebuild. A kingdom to reclaim. And a war to end, once and for all.

The King was overjoyed. He named the child Julian. The following spring the King announced his retirement. Alexander was declared heir to the throne. And I became Queen. The day we moved into the royal palace, I paused before the great doors. For a moment I remembered the life I had once lived—the betrayal, the humiliation, the death that had awaited me. Then Alexander’s arm tightened around my shoulders. Our son slept peacefully in my arms. Together we climbed the long marble steps toward the throne that had once been stained by my blood.

I turned my body slightly, putting one of my legs up on the bench, so that I could look at him better without having to break my neck. “No,” he answered, looking down at the book in his hands. “I’m from the Kingdom of Vinter.” “What’s it like there?” A smile bloomed on his lips as he dreamed himself back to his place of origin. “It’s incredibly beautiful,” he started, while his gaze was locked on the leatherbound book in his hands. “It’s cold, but not freezing,” he explained. “There’s snow all year long, but everything just looks so beautiful like that, frozen in time.” Everything about him screamed love and longing. “The King of Winter is old,” he raised his eyebrows slightly. “He’s the kin

The distant sounds of music and dancing drifted up from the square. I still stood on the same balcony. Exhausted, yet my heart felt incredibly full. Alaric stood in front of me. He cupped my face, his thumb brushing my cheekbone with a gentleness that contrasted sharply with the size of his hands. "That silver magic may be gone," Alaric whispered, staring directly into my eyes. "But the true legend of Nightwhisper is standing right here. Right in front of me." "A kingdom isn't built by magic, Alaric," I replied softly, placing my hand against his broad chest. "This kingdom was built by people who refused to give up."

She glared at me with pure venom. I lifted my lips in a small smile. "I wish the Crown Prince and my sister every happiness. May you soon give birth to a Royal Gold heir." "I have pure blood," Drakon boasted, pulling Vania into his arms. "Of course I will father a golden dragon." A cripple with no ability to father children. Where did his confidence come from? I let Lysander lead me away. There was no point in fighting now. The best was yet to come.

The light poured from my hands, from the cracks in the throne, from the air itself. And when it faded — the room was still. The throne beneath me had changed. The obsidian was gone, replaced by pale stone streaked with silver. The cracks were gone, healed. Magnus rose slowly, eyes wide. “Impossible.” Vale was at my side in an instant, catching me as I slumped forward. My body trembled, drained. Cassian stared at the healed throne, whistling softly. “Well, guess we’re past the point of pretending she’s normal.”

That was how all my unwavering devotion ended up being trampled under his feet. After being reborn, I refused Caspian's offer. He was surprised I asked for nothing, and that piqued his interest. Soon, he frequently joined me in helping impoverished students and rebuilding the school with his vast resources. As we spent more time together, he gradually fell in love with me and healed my broken heart. After we got married, he loved me more than before and cherished me to the bone, completely disregarding the rumors and gossip. I remembered the vow he made at our wedding.

“For now, peace will return, and we will rebuild. But let this be a lesson, no one underestimates Selena, the tribrid queen, ever again.” The sun rose fully, casting golden light across the battlefield. My parents embraced me, the soldiers cheered, and the survivors of our hidden kingdom and the allied forces looked to me with respect and awe. I allowed myself a small smile. Victory was ours, but the path ahead, rebuilding, protecting, ruling, was just beginning. For my parents. For justice. For vengeance. For my kingdoms. And for the destiny I had been born to fulfill. I looked toward Marcus, our eyes meeting briefly. No words were exchanged, but in that moment, we understood: battles could

It was my mom, Diana! My blood ran cold. How had she found out so fast? "Selene, I'm going!" I grabbed my bag and dove through the window. Under the moonlight, my bones began to reshape. Gray-brown fur erupted from my skin as my limbs hit the ground. I lowered my body and bolted toward the pack border. "Stop! You brat!" Diana's roar exploded behind me, followed by the sound of her shift—bones cracking and popping. I pushed harder, leaping over brush and splashing through streams.
