Silver Queen of Lunar Ridge
Suddenly, a sharp, white-hot heat flared deep inside my chest.
My hidden royal bloodline magic woke up with a sudden, painful force, reacting to the heavy surge of competitive adrenaline inside my veins. The fire rushed up my throat, thick and burning. The bitter taste of copper flooded my tongue.
I tightly clamped my mouth shut, pressing my hand over my lips as I leaned against the wooden desk. I forcefully swallowed the hot blood down, my teeth grinding together until my jaw ached. I pulled up my grey sleeve and looked at my wrist; the golden threads of my royal veins were pulsing with a bright, liquid light.
