I hated the distance already. “The elders called another council,” he began. I nodded. “I assumed as much.” “They’ve become… persistent.” He sighed. This was about an heir. He didn’t have to say it, I already knew. “They think the pack’s future is uncertain without one.” A familiar ache settled inside my chest. “I’m trying.” I said sadly. “I know.” His answer came so quickly that tears threatened my eyes. “I know you are.” “Then what did they say this time?”

“But the King…” A long pause followed. The glowing face slowly turned toward Alessio. ”…has not.” The light faded. Leaving behind a single object floating above the altar. A crown. Not made of gold. Not silver. Forged entirely from crystal. The Crystal Crown of the First King. No one dared touch it.

It was important that they were aware because only the royalties could be the only ones who knew about this matter first. "We can call each other's names since we all have the same wavelength of the royal title, Henricus," Claude stated. The other Alpha Kings and Luna Queen nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for welcoming me." He had a gentle smile looking at us. "You can call me Henry or Henricus, whichever you prefer."

The sharp, ceremonial call cut through the open window, through the room, through Zayden’s chest like a blade. Kailee stiffened instantly, her arms tightening around his shoulders as the amplified voice of the herald followed, formal and unyielding. “By order of the Crown,” the voice rang out, “it is hereby announced that King Earic of Ancnix has passed. By right of blood and succession, Prince Gregory Forstfang shall be crowned King of Ancnix at midday tomorrow.”

Marco came back the next morning with files that were thinner than usual. Over the past year, Elena had learned that thin files meant the intelligence was either very new or very uncertain. He laid them out across the study desk while she finished her coffee and tried to shift her mind from being a mother to being a leader dealing with possible security threats. “The asset we missed is different from the others,” Marco said immediately. “This is not someone Tommy recruited, and not someone directly connected to Petrov’s network.

The crown itself pulses against my temples, its once-brilliant gold now tarnished to the color of old blood. It used to shine like captured sunlight, a beacon of hope and righteous rule. Now it hums with an endless network of hairline cracks, each fracture a spider's thread of corruption spreading deeper into the metal and into me. Each break is a reminder that nothing in this world remains unbroken: not thrones built on noble intentions, not bloodlines stretching back to heroes of legend, not oaths sworn under starlight with hearts full of

The ground rumbled with a deep roar, setting the stage for Jim as he led his crew of infant spirits into a clash with the Haunts that sliced through the wind.

The coronation ceremony finished in a bit. Ronald was crowned King, and if I could say, the crown looked like it was made for him; it suits him perfectly. Ronald stood on the podium, his gaze raised high, it was time for him for give his speech.

By midday, every noble house within the palace had been summoned to the Grand Hall, where the king stood before the assembled court with Karl at his right side. Without ceremony or hesitation, the Alpha King formally declared Karl the new Crown Alpha, his voice echoing across the chamber as he announced that the kingdom could not afford an heir whose loyalty had been compromised by personal attachment. The nobles exchanged surprised glances before one by one lowering their heads in acceptance. Whether they genuinely supported Karl or merely feared opposing the king no longer mattered.
