Von

I followed Roy down the hallway in silence, my boots echoing against the stone floor. My jaw clenched tighter with every step. I didn’t know what I’d do when I saw Landon—only that it wouldn’t be merciful.

The throne room doors opened, and I stepped inside. My eyes locked onto him immediately.

Landon looked almost the same, except for the patches of white in his beard. Time had aged him, but not enough to erase what he’d done.

“Von!” he said the moment he saw me.

I stopped in my tracks. My voice was cold as I spoke. “It’s Your Majesty to you. You’ve lost the right to call me by name.”

His head dropped for a second. “It seems… you haven’t let go of the past.”

“Betrayal like yours doesn’t get forgotten. Not in this lifetime.” I spat. I was trying to control myself I didn’t want to attack him. Not yet!

Landon stepped forward slightly. “I know what I did was wrong. I have been living in guilt ever since. That’s why I’m here. I came to the palace because… I wanted to apologize. But th

    VonThe dungeon was damp, filled with the stench of blood and stone. I walked in, and the guards immediately stiffened at my presence. I had decided to go see Landon, it was a crazy move but I just had to do it. I needed to save the people.I needed them to trust me again.One of the guards stepped forward and I stared at him. “Shall we get your kit ready, Your Majesty?” He asked.I paused. My eyes drifted to the cell, where Landon sat chained to the wall, his face bruised and shirt stained with blood. He was still unconscious, I hoped he would come wake up soon. I needed to speak to him. “No,” I said, a few seconds later.The guards exchanged looks of confusion.“I said no,” I repeated, firmer this time. “Free him.”Their eyes widened in disbelief. One of them hesitated. “Your Majesty?”“You heard me,” I said coldly.Roy, who had been standing silently by the wall, stepped closer. “Are you sure about this, Your Majesty?” His voice was low as he spoke.I turned to him. “Very sure.”

    VonLandon hesitated as if he was thinking of what to say and I felt my patience wearing thin.“Now I need you to speak you go mute.” I shook my head. “How pathetic!”He didn’t say anything and another second grew by and I was about to snap when I noticed his mouth move.“We need to see the seer,” he finally answered. “The only thing I know—” he paused, correcting himself. “Your Majesty… is that this event is tied to the curse. I’m sure the seer will know more. She’s lived a thousand lives.”“The seer!” I scoffed shaking my head.“She knows things von…your majesty.” He corrected himself midway. I fell quiet, contemplating his words trying to figure out if this was a good idea or not. After much thought, I looked at Landon.If I don’t get the answers I want I would make I beat him till he takes his last breath.My eyes left Landon and then it landed Roy, who snapped his head in my direction.“Send someone to get the seer,” I said.Roy left right away. A few seconds later, he was bac

    Von “What do you want to tell me?” I asked, my tone sharp as my eyes swept over the guard standing stiffly in front of me. “And where the fuck is the seer?”The lead guard shifted uncomfortably. “I couldn’t bring her, sir.”I stepped forward, narrowing my gaze. “What do you mean you couldn’t bring her?”He swallowed, glancing at the others. “Sorry, your majesty. Wrong words, I mean I didn’t see her at her home.”My jaw tensed. “Are you messing with me?”“No, Your Majesty,” he said quickly, shaking his head. “I would never do that. I swear it.”I folded my arms, narrowing my gaze. “I want a probable explanation. Where. Is. The. See?”“She… wasn’t in her home when we got there,” he said. “We searched endlessly, sir. But there was no sign of her.”I stared at him in silence, then asked, “By ‘everywhere,’ you mean where? A part of the pack? Or the entire pack?”The guard hesitated. “Just where she lives. Around her house. Nearby.”I stepped closer, making sure he heard every word. “You n

    Von I looked at Roy with a firm gaze, trying to keep my expression calm even though what I just heard had messed with my mind.I wanted to speak, but all I could do was stare at this point I didn’t know how to act anymore.“What?” I finally voiced, my voice coming out thin as those words left my lips. “How’s that possible!?” I voiced out again the pain in my tone cannot be mistaken.“I don’t know the guard told me he found her dead close to the riverbank. “She’s outside now,” he continued. “Her body was brought to the palace.”I took a breath, trying to hold in the emotions rising within me. “I’ll be there. Wait for me.”Turning around, I walked quickly to my chambers and changed into my kingly robe. My hands shook slightly as I dressed. The seer was dead. She was supposed to guide me, to give me answers. How could this happen?When I arrived downstairs, I saw Roy waiting at the foot of the stairs. His face was grim.He led me to where the body was, Without exchanging any words,

    Von After I left Rae’s chambers, I made my way down the quiet hallway. My footsteps were the only sound in the stillness of the morning. The weight of the decision I had made pressed heavily on my shoulders, but I knew I had no other choice. I had to leave the pack—at least for now. For her.I stopped in front of Anna’s door and knocked gently.It took only a few seconds before she opened it, dressed in a simple robe. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep.“Your Majesty?” she asked, surprised. “What are you doing here so early? Did something happen to Rae?”“No,” I said quickly, raising a hand to calm her nerves. “Rae is fine.”She stepped aside to let me in, and I walked into the familiar room. The soft scent of herbs and lavender clung to the air.“I wanted to speak with you before I left,” I said quietly.“Left?” she repeated. Her brows drew together. “What do you mean? You’re leaving the pack?”Then her mind seemed to booth and her eyes widened. “You have finally taken that decis

    Von The night air was cool and still, as we set out on our journey to see the seer. The drive through the forest was smooth, quiet, almost too quiet. Trees blurred past us like silent watchers, and inside the car, my thoughts raced. I kept staring out the window, pretending to be calm, but my mind was anything but that. My stomach churned as I thought about the fact that I was closer to the truth.What if the seer tells me something I can’t handle? What if there’s no going back after tonight?For a second, I considered turning back. Doubt crept in, whispering its poison. But I clenched my fists and shook the thoughts away. This wasn’t the time for fear. I had made it this far. Rae—no, everything—depended on this.When we arrived at the seer’s place, the guards approached first. The hut was small, isolated deep within the woods, lit only by the dull glow of moonlight and a single flickering lantern hanging from a crooked pole.The lead guard stepped up and knocked twice on the wood

    Von “Shall we leave now, Your Majesty?” one of the guards asked. His words felt distance it was like I was in another world and I was disconnected from my body. I couldn’t bring myself to reply I just stood staring at world around which had suddenly lost its light.“Your majesty!” A voice called out and this time I realized that the voice belonged to Roy. He was moving closer to me. I could hear his steps but I couldn’t see him. I was lost in my mind.“Are you fine your majesty?” He asked. “Do you want us to attack?”I was sure he must have thought the seer did something horrible to me, little did he know that she had no hand to place in this. I was just shocked by the truth.“Your majesty!” His voice returned and I knew it I didn’t reply they are going to be hovering around her and they might end up going in to attack the seer.“I’m fine Roy!” I finally said. “Don’t attack.”He didn’t look fully convinced but he nodded.“Shall we leave?” He repeated and I nodded.

    Von The deaths in the kingdom had not stopped. Every day brought another body, another cry for help. And in the middle of all that, the truth I had learned clung to me like a second skin. Rae—no, Rose—was my sister. That revelation shattered something in me. It was like a rope had snapped. The very bond that once tethered me to her had been sliced clean through.I no longer looked at Rae the same. Her smile, her voice, the warmth in her eyes—it all haunted me now. I dared not to think of our memories, the feeling of me thrusting into her, the sound of her calling out my name. It felt like a nightmare. I forced myself to think of something. It wasn’t easy and to make things worse I started having dreams. Horrible, violent dreams. In them, I killed her over and over. Sometimes with my hands. Sometimes with a blade. Sometimes I just watched her die, unable to stop it. Every time I closed my eyes, those dreams returned, more vivid and terrifying than the last. Sleep no longer gave m

    Rae I stared at Anna in disbelief, my lips parted but no words coming out. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I felt like I was in a nightmare. I managed to pull myself out of the haze staring back at Anna. “You’re saying… I have to die to save the kingdom?” My voice cracked as I spoke, and my legs felt unsteady beneath me.Anna gave a slow nod, her eyes filled with sadness.“I don’t understand,” I said, forcing myself to stand. “Why me? How am I the reason for the curse?”“I don’t know, Rae,” she replied gently. “But Von might. He’s been keeping everything to himself. I think he knows more than he’s saying.”I shook my head. “This can’t be real. I refuse to believe it.”My heart pounded in my chest. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The walls were closing in. A thousand thoughts ran through my mind, crashing into each other. I didn’t want to cry, but tears burned behind my eyes anyway.Anna stepped closer. “Please calm down. Landon’s looking for a witch. He believes there might b

    RaeThe dim light crept into view, it was blurry and soft at first, like a distant memory trying to settle into focus. My head felt heavy, and my body… foreign. I blinked a few times, trying to ground myself in the space around me. Everything was unfamiliar. I was disoriented. My arms ached, and when I looked down, I noticed wires—tubes—stripped across my body. I couldn’t tell if they were for healing or restraint.Then suddenly I heard soft sobs which broke through my haze.I turned my head, and my eyes landed on Anna. She was hunched over in a chair across the room, her shoulders trembling. Her voice cracked as she muttered to herself, “I think I’ve made a mistake… I shouldn’t have let him go…”What was she talking about? And why was she crying?“Anna…” My voice came out hoarse, it was low and if she wasn’t sitting close by. I was sure she wouldn’t have heard it.Anna’s head jerked up after those words left my lips. Her eyes widened like she’d seen a ghost. “Rae?” she gasped. T

    VonThe moment, I saw Landon move I halted my steps, trying to figure out where he was heading. He directed his horse towards the side of the river while he rested on one of the stones. He was facing me now, but because of the trees I was well hidden and I couldn’t be easily detected. I kept watching, waiting for the opportunity when he would finally turn his back. Eventually, he did, and just as I was about to launch myself at him, my horse let out a sharp, loud snort.Landon jerked his head up and during that moment his eyes found mine. I wondered if he had seen me, but the moment I saw him reach for his horse I got the answer to my question.Landon pulled his horse out of the river in one fast move, climbed onto the saddle, and kicked hard. The animal responded instantly, racing through the shallow water, splashing and tearing through the trees.“Landon!” I growled, then yanked my reins.I mounted quickly and dug my heels in. My horse moved forward, its hooves digging into the t

    VonI stared at Anna with a coldness that could freeze fire. My eyes locked onto hers, searching for answers, for some kind of remorse, but all I saw was silence. Her lips stayed pressed together, and it was clear she wasn’t planning on explaining anything anytime soon.My anger ignited. It roared up from my chest like a beast unchained. I hit her against the cage once again.“You dare remain silent?” I growled through clenched teeth. “You set him free and you stand here with your mouth shut like it means nothing?”Her gaze flicked to mine, and finally, she spoke in a soft tone. “Even if I explain things to you… you’ll never understand.”I scoffed, tightening my grip. “Did he promise you something? Huh? Is that it? Did Landon feed you some sweet little story?”“No,” she snapped back. “He didn’t promise me anything.”I let out a humorless laugh. “Then why? What in the hell made you think this was a good idea?”She yanked her arm out of my grasp. “Because he said he wants to help this c

    Von The night had arrived.I sat in my chambers, wide awake. My sword rested beside me on the table, a sharp glint catching the flicker of torchlight from the wall. I hadn't slept, not even for a second. My instincts told me tonight would be the night they'd try it—the traitors among my guards. Anna’s warning had been clear, and my men were ready. My loyal guards were stationed throughout the palace, hiding in shadows, crouched in corners, armed to the teeth.I paced slowly across the room, boots echoing faintly against the stone floor. Then—just as I paused—came the sound. A low grunt. Then another. It started outside my door. The fight had begun.I moved quickly into the shadows, pressing my back against the cold wall. I could hear the scuffle grow louder. Then came footsteps rushing toward my chamber. Someone was coming for me.I didn’t move.I waited.The door creaked open. I saw the silhouette step in, sword drawn. He didn’t see me. He thought I’d be asleep.He took three step

    Von The room was quiet except for the steady ticking of the clock on the wall. I had taken my position at the edge of the bed, my hands resting on my knees, the weight of everything pulling at my chest. Anna stood by the door, her brows furrowed, her lips pressed in a tight line. “Are you going to speak or not ?” I asked, my voice hoarse from lack of rest.She stepped closer, looking over her shoulder like she was afraid someone might be listening. “I don’t know if you are ready to hear this.”I sighed. Nothing else would surprise me, for the past few weeks I had watched my life go for bad to worse to wise. I knew nothing she would say would make a difference in my life.“Just say it, Anna!” I tried to keep my voice neutral trying not to lose my cool.“They’re plotting to kill you, Your Majesty.” Anna finally said.My eyes narrowed. “What do you mean by that?”“I overheard the guards talking with a few locals,” she said, her voice low. “They’re working together. They want to overt
