Time passed, though she could no longer measure it. Exhausted, she collapsed on the floor, unable to speak. Only then did Jack stop, leaning over her with a threat. “Alanna, I’m warning you one last time. Lewis is dead. If you want to live, obey me. “Cross me again, and you’ll be very sorry that you did!” … Disgusted by the blood on his hands, Jack locked the door and went to the bathroom to clean himself. Alanna lay sprawled across the floor, drenched in blood and utterly ruined.

It's like an oversized child being hugged. "I wish your suffering had been ended sooner... We don't fear you. We trust you with Karina. You completed the final shift. I remember that lesson in school. Only a being of pure heart who has experienced great suffering can become King... Welcome to the family, King Atticus," Dad says before he drops his arms and steps back.

I nodded so he continued. "Once they were a kingdom just like ours and Charlotte's. The country was run by one family the 4 sons each were giving an equal share of the kingdom by their parents but the eldest son, the one who ran the north kingdom wanted more since he saw his father hold so much power as he grew. He tried to run a rebellion against his parents and his brothers but was defeated. However his army still followed him and his family refused to excute him so he was banished to the wilds never being allowed to stake a claim to any of the kingdoms or remain in one place for too long. So he gathered an army of rouges and those who had been banished and named himself King of the North

But beneath the veneer of calm, there was a subtle tension in her posture, a flicker of something unreadable in her gaze. The Royal Entreaty was not just a ritual but it was a defining moment in the kingdom’s history. The men who stood before her knew this as well.

They rise when kings return to reclaim the throne.

Apart from this being the Alpha's birthday, everyone was waiting for this. "As you all know," King Rowan continued. "I have three talented, wonderful, handsome sons, but only one will lead the Empire the day I die or choose to step down.

They all stood up and stepped forward. I could see that Conrad didn't even look slightly nervous at all. He held his head up high, exuding confidence and princely grace.

Tom cursed to himself, sneering as he looked back into his memories, “Duke Osborn was a bastard! He always acted so lovingly towards his brother, but he only did it so no one would notice he was spying on the king! He said King Dean didn't deserve to be king, but did he deserve it? He was a general who led the army against the vampires, and he contributed to the prosperity of the kingdom, but it was King Dean who ruled the kingdom and supported those endeavors. Without the king's support, he could not have won.” Tom shook his head, “His mate would have still died…” Arthur’s heart lurched, “His mate died?” Tom nodded, gravely, “In childbirth. The loss of his mate coupled with his ambitions li

“Well go after him, but first let’s go make history.” They exchanged glances but didn’t argue.

I could already picture it: their worried faces, their desperate need for their king, their blind willingness to believe any story that promised stability. They’d swallow whatever version I fed them. After this meeting, Aria wouldn’t matter. None of them would. Because once the council confirmed the king’s death and handed me the reins of command, the Seven Kingdoms would have a new ruler.

But when he met Joe's eyes, he saw the same wild pride reflecting back at him. The king had fallen, but the heir was only just starting.
