Kai Griffin's POV

"These men are the best of the best." Zenn said as he assembled the men, "But we're still greatly outnumbered."

"And the men that the allies provided?"

"They're already here." Zenn gritted his teeth, "Those cunning snakes! They gave you half the men they promised."

"They'll give me the other half if I succeed in reclaiming Silvercrest." I continued, "They're cutting their losses. They're being cautious. If I win, they get their land; if I lose and I'm dead, they'll have no one to answer to."

"And you're fine with this?"

"I'll take whatever I can." I continued, "Let's march. I have a war to win and a girl to save."

With only a few warriors by my side, I put the kingdom in Zenn's skilled hands, leaving him with the majority of our armies. I couldn't risk leaving our house undefended, despite Zenn's harsh warnings about the dangers of my personal involvement. These warriors had pledged their devotion to me and agreed to fight beside me on the battlefield.

    Erin Lockheart's POVAnother day has passed as they all await my answer. No one would tell me anything about Kai or Raewavell's condition, but I have to keep hoping that all is well.Interrupting my thoughts, Cadmus entered the room with a deep sigh. "You have to stop being so stubborn, Erin.""I can't exactly run away now, so that's all I can be right now—someone stubborn.""Erin, I know you feel strongly for Kai, but realistically speaking, I can give you the life you want." Cadmus continued, "I can't let you run back to him now for the good of my kingdom and yours.""You can't let me go unless I villainize him in front of everyone.""He is a villain, Erin. When will you see that?" Cadmus said, almost desperately, "It's inevitable. He will lose; even with your help, you're outnumbered. You can win battles, but not this war. No kingdom will stand idly by to let Kai rule all kingdoms.""I'm offering you these terms to save you. Everyone else, including Luna, wanted you gone. This is t

    Cadmus Hunter POVI've had a lingering feeling that the Erin I once knew, my childhood friend, is no longer present. Yet, I hesitated to acknowledge it fully because it would mean that her soul left Lunaria Kingdom while waiting for my return and no one even noticed.Erin met my gaze squarely as she spoke, her words confirming my suspicions. "You're right. I'm not the real Erin—the one you grew up with. I have her memories and her body, but not her soul.""I see," I responded quietly. "Can you explain what happened?""In my world," Erin began, her voice carrying the weight of a profound revelation: "I was the writer of this story. The night I died, for reasons I still can't fathom, I ended up here." She paused, gathering her thoughts. "Originally, the plot was that Erin Lockheart died tragically, and her death brought you and Luna closer as the protagonists. In a desperate attempt to rewrite my fate, I interfered with the story, bringing us all into this uncertain reality. I'm not sur

"Silvercrest is now yours," I declared firmly, meeting Lhan's astonished gaze. "Now, fulfill your end of the bargain. Pledge your loyalty to me as your alpha."The people of Raewavell Castle looked on in disbelief as I stood before them, battered but alive against all odds. The sight of my resilience stunned them; none had expected me to return from the confrontation unscathed."You're truly a monster," Lhan muttered, his voice laced with a mixture of dread and begrudging respect. "Do as you will with me, alpha."The rest of the alliance members followed suit, kneeling before me in recognition of my triumph and leadership. As they bowed, the weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders, knowing that the path ahead would demand even greater strength and resolve.I dreaded the realization that I had become like my father, whom I had onc

There was a dim light coming from the end of the hall and surely enough, I heard Luna's voice as she shouted, "Still not good enough!" I peaked at the room, concealing my presence as best I could as I hid behind the pillars. I saw Luna punishing her servants as she said, "The potion is still not strong enough, I could control your motor functions but not your organs. I know that blood magic could go to such extent where I can manipulate your heart, to say, to explode at my will."The servant's horrified faces says it all but under Luna's blood magic, they couldn't dare defy her.

Some spoke of her using her latent fire magic to hunt down evil werewolves, serving as a silent protector and vigilante in the shadows. However, records of these deeds mysteriously burned, leaving behind only fragmented tales and speculation.The legacy of the Lockheart family endured through Erin's sister and Zenn Griffin.

Kai died on the front porch of our house, as if he knew his time was coming.He had cooked me breakfast, with coffee on the table and left tulips on the bedside with a note that said, "I love you, Erin, you found me in this world, so now I shall find you in every world I go to."He looked so peaceful, leaving me. He was smiling, even in his death. The once-comforting silence now weighed heavily on my heart, devoid of the familiar sounds that had filled our home with warmth and love. It is too quiet now. I could no longer hear his footsteps softly treading across the floor in the early morning hours as he tried to surprise me with flowers or breakfast.I could no longer hear his laughter or the gentle cadence of his voice saying my name with affection.I could no longer hear

    Kai Griffin's POVUpon the Lockhearts' arrival, I sat upon my throne with Erin at my side. Their eyes deliberately avoided Erin's except for her father's, whose gaze bore straight into mine, pointedly ignoring Erin's presence. Erin's father was as cold as rumors painted him to be—a man of aristocratic cruelty, even among the high-born Lockhearts, some native to Lunaria and others descended from foreign royal bloodlines to try and claim throne for Lunaria Kingdom."They know little of Lunaria," I muttered under my breath.Straightening in my seat, I addressed them coolly, "Welcome to Raewavell. I am eager to hear your petitions to claim rulership over the Kingdom of Lunaria. The people of Lunaria are here as witnesses—they will be the ones you lead.""I hail from House Moonstone, esteemed as the firstborn son and the foremost warrior of our kingdom.

"There's something you need to hear."I complied, settling into the chair with a mixture of curiosity and a touch of unease. Zenn didn't summon me without reason, and his cryptic messages often heralded significant developments—either within our kingdom or beyond its fortified walls."There have been sightings." one of my council members started, "of Lhan and the others trying to claim Lunaria. As you are well aware, Cadmus is dead, there is no one next in line and Lunaria stands there, empty and theirs for the taking.""Lunaria is Erin's hometown. I can't carelessly pick a ruler for Lunaria." "But the small folk there have gone restless. It's been a month that no one's running Lunaria. The people there are clueless."
