True to Julian's word, he released Anna and had Thea allocate her a better room in the same building Lyra was staying.

During her first days outside confinement, Anna spent most of her time with Lyra and Beryl. Since Lyra was no longer bedridden, she was able to take her on a tour of the palace grounds, helping her familiarise with everything.

At first, Anna was very happy. This was the closest she had ever come to a normal life since being captured by the witches. She had friends, she did not have to work everyday until her back ached, and there was nobody controlling her every movement.

In such an environment, it was easy to put her horrible past behind her. However, as the days went by and more people became aware of her presence, rumours started spreading about her origin.

The truth of her identity and background became common knowledge, subjecting her to vicious rumours and discrimination from those around her.

At first, she tried her best to ignore it. She could not control what

    As soon as Lyra realised what was going on, she hurried down the corridor. Pushing past a couple of the servants, she placed herself between Anna and them.“What the hell are you doing?” she demanded, glaring at them. She looked down at Anna, who was still on the floor with her face down turned.“It's none of your business,” the leader of the group said, folding her arms across her chest stubbornly. “This is between us and her.”“Is that so?” Lyra asked. “Did she say you could hit her and bully her around?”The servant snickered and rolled her eyes skyward. The others stood behind her like a bunch of soldiers awaiting orders from their commander.“You better apologise to her,” Lyra told the group. “I'm the one responsible for her in this palace, so bullying her is the same as bullying me. So, if you don't want any trouble, I suggest that you apologise to Anna right away.”The servants exchanged glances, looking unsure. A few of them looked worried, fearing the repercussions of what wo

    Zero turned around and looked at her. “What if I say it's because of you? What will you do?”Lyra searched his face, looking for the truth. She could not see the passionate look that was always there when he confessed to her before. “Is it really?” she asked him.A small smile flitted across his lips, then he shrugged. “You rejected me multiple times. You'd only think I'm a nuisance if I didn't let go.”Relieved to hear that, Lyra asked, “So why?”“Just because I let go does not mean my heart did not break,” he said.After a moment’s pause, Lyra asked, “Is that all you feel?”Zero looked at her without saying anything for a while, then he walked back towards the window and took a seat. Lyra followed him and sat across the table from him, watching him and waiting for his response.When he met her eyes, she could see the conflict in his own. “I'm not sure I know what I feel. When I first saw her, I–I…I wanted to run to her and hold her, but I couldn't.”“What do you mean you couldn't?”

    “Please let me go,” Anna pleaded as she scrambled to her feet and quickly moved away from the giant lizard behind her. The beast had almost snapped her foot off just a second ago, and she did not have enough strength to keep running. “Let me out of here!”Crystal's lips curled with an evil smile at the sound of desperation in Anna's voice. “Why should I? You haven't shown me any tricks yet. You witches are famous for killing werewolves without lifting a hand. You are not getting out of here until you kill it.”“I can't!” Anna screamed, pressing up against the wall of the empty pool and shuffling farther away from the lizard. “I've never used magic to kill anyone. I don't know how!”“That's too bad,” Crystal said, looking at her nails in boredom. “If you can't kill it, it'll kill you. It has not eaten anything in days.”“Why are you doing this to me?” Anna cried, tears running down her face. She could not keep going for much longer. If Crystal did not let her go, the lizard would catch

    Early the next morning, Crystal was roused by her maidservant who informed her that royal guards had stormed the villa. When she went to see them, the guards delivered a royal edict announcing the annulling of the engagement and ordering her to pack up and leave the palace as soon as possible.Stomping forward, she grabbed the document and looked at it, as if doubting the guard's words. Scoffing, she ripped the paper into pieces and started towards the door. “This is bullshit. I'll see the king myself!”Two of the guards stood in her way, blocking her path to the door. “The king has ordered that you are not allowed to go anywhere. Our orders are to watch you pack and escort you out of the palace.”“Get out of my way,” Crystal snapped, paying no heed to their words. “I am not the kind of person you can treat like this. I demand to see the king right away!”“If you insist,” the guards said, “we'll have to force you to leave without your stuff.”Crystal could see more guards stationed ou

    When Lyra heard about Julian cancelling his engagement to Crystal, she felt grateful. After what Crystal had done to Anna, it would have been too much if Julian had still allowed her to stay at the palace and even become the future queen.She was fully aware of the rumours gathering speed around the palace and outside, about Julian choosing her over Crystal. How she wished that were true. Him cancelling his engagement had nothing to do with her. It just turned out he had some conscience and would not marry someone who tried to harm his cousin's mate.But the rumours only kept growing, and she could practically feel the animosity surrounding her. Since Julian was doing nothing to stop it, she decided to see him about it. After work that day, she followed him to his suite.“Clear it of what?” he asked her when she asked whether he intended on clearing her name.“You know what everybody has been saying about me,” she told him. “It would be nice if you gave an explanation and made it clea

    Anna was leaving the library late one night when she noticed a movement to her left. Normally, she would have been alert, but she could tell it was Zero even before he stepped out of the shadows and into the light.“What are you doing here?” she asked as he walked towards her.“Waiting for you,” he told her.“Me?”He nodded. “I'll walk you back to your room.”“Were you waiting for long?” she asked him. “You could have come inside to get me.”“I did not want to distract you,” he told her. “You get really absorbed when you are reading.”Well, that was true, but she wouldn't have minded if he had gone inside for her. He was right, she would have been thoroughly distracted. But she wouldn't have minded it a bit.“I'm done now,” she said with a shy smile. They had been hanging out a lot lately, but she still got flustered when he was being all sweet.Stepping forward, Zero leaned down and gave her a short soft kiss to her lips. “I missed you,” he whispered when he pulled away.Anna's face

    “Miss! Miss!”Crystal woke up to the sound of her frantic maidservant calling her name. She groaned as she opened her eyes, not appreciating the rude awakening.“What's all this racket in the morning?” she demanded, glaring at the female standing beside her bed.“We have been ambushed!” the maid cried, wringing her hands in front of her body.“What?” Crystal frowned and climbed from her bed. “What are you talking about?”“I don't know what's going on,” the maid said. “They rushed in and detained our guards, everybody is panicking!”Crystal rushed to the window and looked outside. In front of the mansion, she saw a line of Blacksword guards kneeling on the ground. Surrounding them was a group of guards in golden armour.Royal guards! What on earth were they doing at her pack?Crystal rushed to get dressed and hurried downstairs. When she got to the ground floor, she spied a group of royal guards escorting her father out of the house.“Father!” she called, running towards them as they l

    “I'll kill them,” Crystal slurred as her hand tightened around the wine glass in her grip. “I'll kill them all!”She threw the glass across the room, shattering it against the wall. Her room was a mess following her outburst–beddings overturned, lamps broken, shards of glass all over the floor.Her father had been executed a few hours earlier. Not one person–not her relatives or the elders in the council–had tried to plead with the king to reconsider. They had all bowed their heads like a bunch of cowards and followed Julian’s every word.Now, her father was dead, her family was shamed, and their reputation was in tatters. A few weeks ago, she had thought that she would be the Luna Queen. It was a position that would have elevated her pack above everyone but the royal pack. Their pack had been envied by others for producing the future queen, something they had all sought for years. She could not believe how quickly everything had changed.Now, they were the laughing stock of the kingd

    “Why aren’t you back yet?” Julian’s worried voice came across the phone when Lyra received his call.“I’m on my way,” Lyra told him. “I’ll be back soon.”“If you run into any problem, tell me,” he told her. “I know how Alpha Lucian can be. If he is giving you a hard time, I’ll teach him a lesson.”“Don’t worry, I can handle Lucian by myself,” she told him. “I’ve settled everything and I’ll be at the palace soon.”“Okay, I’m waiting for you,” he told her.Lyra hung up with a smile. Earlier, she had left on a trip to the Luminous Pack for the grand opening of a werewolf academy that would welcome students from all over the kingdom.Julian had been worried that Alpha Lucian would give her a hard time and wanted to go with her, but he had other official duties to attend to. Even though no werewolf in the kingdom could stand up to her, his first instinct was to protect her, whether from mortal danger or rude Alphas.“He really has no idea, does he?” Anna asked.Lyra shook her head. “Nope.”

    Many days later, Lyra woke up in the palace. Julian was lying next to her, sleeping peacefully. She smiled as she looked at him, a warm feeling blooming in her chest. She fought the urge to touch his face, afraid to wake him.However, when she turned to leave the bed, his arm shot out and hooked around her waist. “Don’t go,” he murmured sleepily.Lyra’s smile widened in amusement as she looked back at him. “You are awake?”He shook his head, his eyes still closed. “No.”She laughed and tapped his hand. “Get up, Your Majesty,” she teased. “We have a kingdom to run.”He tightened his hold around her, pulling her to him. “They can survive a few hours without us. It’s not like an evil witch is going to fly in and blast us all to hell.”“Haha,” Lyra laughed dryly. “I’m glad you can joke about that.”Julian opened his eyes and smiled. “Me too.”They both burst laughing, with Lyra falling back to his side. Julian reached for her face and kissed her. Lyra kissed him back, getting lost in the

    Deciding to attack together, Julian and Lyra ran towards the altar. While they were midway, Valeria waved her hand, sending a wave of energy their way.They braced themselves, but it turned out to be nothing like the attacks they had faced from the other witches. The energy was so forceful that it knocked them off their feet and sent them flying backwards before they crashed into the floor.As they collected themselves from the floor, Valeria’s laugh filled the room. “Did you think you could come here and do whatever you wanted? Prepare for your death!”Just when they had gotten back on their feet, she hit them with another blast of energy. This time, they both crashed into the wall before falling to the ground.“How is she so strong?” Lyra asked Julian through their mindlink. It was impressive that she could knock both of them around like that at the same time.“She is too powerful,” Julian replied. “We can’t let her wear us out. I’ll go all in, and when she is distracted with me, yo

    Following Julian’s scent, Lyra found the basement a few minutes later. It was a dank round room solely illuminated by candles.As soon as Lyra walked into the room, she was welcomed by the sound of clapping. Looking up, she saw Valeria standing on a raised altar in the middle of the room. She was the one clapping, a huge smirk on her lips.“We are all here,” Valeria said. “Perfect.”After having her plans thwarted so many times, Valeria had been scrambling to find a way to get rid of the Lycan King and the Luna Queen.She had not expected that the Rogue King would be such a useless ally. Even after she had helped him steal the Lycan King’s identity and made him powerful talismans, he had failed.As if that wasn’t bad enough, all her latest experiments failed. After finding out that the Lycan Kingdom had made significant steps in finding a weapon that could easily eliminate corrupted wolves, she had tried to make them stronger.She had succeeded in making stronger, faster, and more res

    Using the tip of her dagger, Lyra pricked her fingertip. When blood pooled at the tip, she pressed it to the barrier. During her research while making the serums, Beryl had read somewhere that the Wolf Mother’s blood could be used to break magical barriers.It turned out to be true as the barrier between them and the beasts dissipated the moment Lyra touched it with her blood. As soon as the barrier was down, the beasts rushed towards them.There were all sorts of beasts, from winged creatures that were as big as horses and serpents with multiple heads. Among the beasts were also corrupted wolves.The division of the troop that had been assigned archery roles released a multitude of arrows, raining them down on the beasts. The arrows were created with special magical metal tips doused in poison, allowing them to deal critical damage to magical creatures with a single hit.The second division of the troop shifted into their wolf forms and met the beasts head on. When it was no longer p

    The southern jungle covered hundreds of thousands of hectares, providing a good hiding place for rogues. However, even rogues did not venture into the deepest parts of the forest, since they were considered too dangerous.The forest was rumoured to not only be the witches’ hideout, but to also contain all sorts of magical beasts. While some of the southern packs had led expeditions into the jungle while dealing with rogues, they did not have enough information that could be used to accurately map out the witch’s lair.After hours of walking in the jungle, Lyra finally sensed magical power. Leading the way, she guided the troops deeper into the forest. The farther they got, the more ominous it became. The magical power also got stronger, and everybody could feel it.After close to an hour, they spied a castle through the trees. It was big and old, its walls almost entirely covered by vines.“This is it,” Lyra informed everybody through mindlink. “I’ve felt Valeria’s energy before, and

    As soon as Julian and Lyra got back to the palace, Beryl and Spencer took the flower and started making the antidote.They had been gone less than an hour, but Zero’s condition had worsened. Even with Beryl and Spencer’s help, he would not have been able to hold on much longer without the antidote.As for Anna, she was still unconscious, but there were no signs that she was in danger. There also hadn’t been any other incidents in the palace.When Beryl administered the antidote to Zero, his condition started improving right away. As soon as he woke up, he looked around for Anna. When he did not see her, fear washed over him. Before losing consciousness, he had heard people calling for her execution.“Where is Anna?” he asked Beryl, getting down from the hospital bed. “Is she okay? It was not her fault. She is not working for the witches.”“We know,” Beryl told him. “The witch possessed her and made her do it. She is fine now, but she passed out and is in recovery. Don’t worry, she is

    The snake had appeared out of nowhere and wrapped itself around Lyra so fast that Julian did not get a chance to warn her. It was long and thick, and its body was coiled around Lyra’s upper body and neck, its head poised to strike.Julian’s heart froze in fear as the gravity of the situation registered. Both of them could not use their magic or werewolf abilities. From the size and appearance of the snake, he could tell it was not a normal one. It must be a magical beast.Magical beasts normally had their own territories and attacked anyone who trespassed. However, Julian had never heard that the Deadly Swamp was territory to any magical beast.The snake had only appeared after Lyra plucked out the flower, so it was more likely that the beast was guarding the flower, not the swamp.“Throw away the flower,” he yelled at Lyra. “It’s guarding the flower. As long as you have it, it won’t let you go.”Lyra did not want to let go of the flower, but she was aware that she could not afford to

    After leaving the infirmary, Julian and Lyra instructed staff around the palace to ensure all the guests were catered to, leaving Asher in supervision.They also ensured that security was beefed up around the palace and the capital city in case the witches attempted another attack.Lyra was worried that it might be too late by the time they got to the swamp, found the flower, and brought it back to Beryl and Spencer to make the antidote. The two healers could keep Zero alive with their healing powers, but the poison was powerful and would kill him if not stopped soon.“We are taking the jet, right?” Lyra asked Julian as they got ready in the weapon room, grabbing basic items that would come in handy in the swamp.“No,” Julian said.“If we drive, we’ll never get back in time,” she said.“We are not driving,” he told her. “Come, I’ll show you something.”Moving to one end of the room, he pressed his palm to a panel on the wall next to a door labelled ‘Restricted Access’.
