Celine thought her life couldn’t get worse. Cast out as an imposter in the Alpha family that raised her, she now serves as a maid in the Royal Palace—mocked, bullied, and invisible to those around her. At 23, freedom is finally within her grasp. Or so she believes. Kaiden, the ruthless Alpha King, returns home to a kingdom shaken by rebellion and his brother’s tragic loss. The last thing he expects is to find his fated mate among the palace’s lowest ranks—a woman branded as wolfless and a thief. Their connection is undeniable, but he would rather rule alone than with a thief by his side. But fate had other plans, unable to let eachother go, but unable to fight against the forces that pull them apart, how would Celine finally assume her birthright as the Queen? And when she does, would Kaiden be able to convince her he belongs by her side?

Do you turn into a monster or something?” I feigned indifference when I was panicking within. If it were to be like what I thought it was, then we were all screwed. No one would be able to stop her.She rolled her eyes. Stop acting like you do not understand. But I'll let Mirena explain.”Mirena gave me a smug smile. “Ten years ago, IIattempted to become richer than every other witch I knew, after being the weakest witch in my clan. I was bullied, insulted, maltreated, and punished for being weaker and hated it.”She paced around, face contorted in anger. “I hated it, and being stronger than everyone I knew became my one goal. I spent years hiking, going to different towns for a way to be stronger, the strongest witch that ever existed. No one knew how to become more powerful. I had to settle with Dark magic but it wasn't as powerful as I wanted.”“So how did
Chapter 88DamonMy hands shook as the betrayal of a guard sliced a silver dagger across my back for the tenth time, or hundredth, I stopped counting after the pain became a blur and it hurt to even scream. It’s been three days of nonstop suffering, nonstop torture and i couldnt wrap my ind around what Neil must have gone through since he had been here.When no one was around, he stayed at the edge of the cell, looking into space and not listening to a word i say. It was a frustrating fate. I kenw he was dead inside, but there were two of us now. Couldnt he just snap out of it for a second?The sound of the dungeon opening stole my attention, and my gaze snapped up to meet Sheila’s, and the anger in me rose to the point where, without thinking, a groowl left my liod and i wrestled against the silver chains, completely ignoring the pains they caused, with only one thought in mind.“I am going to tear you apart!” it took all the strength in my body to scream out, but had almost no impa
SheilaHis form was hunched over by the window when i took soft steps into the dark room, the air filled with grief. It irritated me to no end. Was his mourning period not over yet?And here i was, about to add to it, like he was not pathetic enough mourning that wench and her pup. But i just had to do this. I planned to be here for a very long time, not a fast time, and that meant cleverly removing everyone who stood in my way.“Kaiden,” I called out to the shell of a man at the window.He let out a loud sigh. “Leave, Sheila.” I took another step forward, ignoring his exhaustion His voice was hoarse, like he hadn’t spoken in days, but that wasn’t my problem.He used to be worth killing for, but now only power w2as worth it.Seems like everyone was right about me after all. Too bad they lived to regret it, now i was about to wipe Damon off the face of the earth with just one lie.“Kaiden, I am not here to convince you of anything! Damon is missing!”Kaiden stiffened.For the first ti

DamonA kick on my abdomen woke me up with a jolt, the sharp pain forcing a groan out of me. My first instinct was to lunge, to grab whoever dared to touch me in my sleep, but the feel of restraints tugging me shut my eyes open.Sheila’s eyes were the first I met, and I looked downwards to see I was chained down in the abandoned Celler no one ever used again.Neil’s weak form was crotched just in front of me, his weak eyes on me, and I swallowed a shudder at how much he had suffered.He looked like a ghost of who he used to be. “Well, here we are, Damon.”Sheila’s voice was smooth and filled with slight amusement, but the coldness in her gaze told me this was anything but a joke. I pulled at the chains, feeling the rough metal bite into my wrists. Silver. Of course.“Cut the theatrics,” I rasped my throat dryer than sandpaper. “If you’re going to kill me, get it over with.”Neil flinched at my words, his sunken eyes darting to Sheila. He looked worse than I had ever seen him, bones
DamonSheila barked out a laugh so sinister, it had my blood curling in my veins, and my wolf scrambling to the back of my mind. Her face morphed into the scariest version of her face, and evil shone through her eyes as she snapped her head backward, Mirena shifted backward her hands curled into fists as she endured Sheila’s mockery, her jaw ticking angrily.Mirena was more powerful than Sheila, but Sheila held the power over her, why? What could Sheila have in store to tame such a powerful witch in this manner?As if hearing my question, Sheila snapped out her claws, and grabbed Mirena’s forearm harshly, her claws digging into her skin and drawing blood, while Mirena, who usually looked tough for her old age, cried out in pain.“Your Highness, please–”But Sheila only gripped tighter, drawing more blood. “Oh do not beg, Mirena. You do know you threatened me first. But you must have forgotten who has the power here. Have you forgotten the favor I did for you? Or the oath you made to m
Damon I held my breath, my fingertips digging into the skin of my palm as I controlled my breathing, not wanting to compromise my position and end up dead if I am caught. I hope it wouldn’t be all for nothing, I would hate if I was wrong, but I’ll also hate if I were right about Sheila. Kaiden really trusted her to have his best interest at heart, despite not loving her. But it was clear she didn’t have his. “Mirena, I already told you, do whatever you can to break his defense. You have to find a way to get through to him, we can not risk a lose end at this point.” She snapped, and I could see her blonde hair sweeping back and forth wildly as she spoke to Mirena. Mirena nodded. “Yes I know, your majesty. I have no idea why I am unable to kill him. It was so easy to kill his sister.” A small gasp left my lips before I could hold myself, and Sheila and Mirena’s gazes snapped to the point of the wall behind the curtain where I stood. “Shit.” Mirena’s gaze stayed pinned on me, h
DamonAfter waiting at the back of a pillar for Sheila to come out for hours so I could follow her if she did step out like I felt she would so I could get to work for over an hour, I was getting utterly frustrated. I needed her out of the room so could sneak in and hear her conversations. What? I was running out of time. I needed proof to back up my claim so I could see if I was going crazy to accuse Sheila, the queen of possible involvement in the murder, or if I was right on the money.And what other way to do that than to eavedrop? Nothing else was working, and the Kingdom was going to up inflame the more she ruled Kaiden stayed rotting away, thinking he was a devoted wife.My wolf struggled to catch hints of anything strange, like blood, like we did that night, but so far, nothing.Either she was incredibly brilliant or just innocent. And iIIad a feeling it wasn't innocent. “Okay fuck it,” I cursed under my breath as I slipped a match from my pocket. “time for plan b.”I knew S
DamonSheila was power drunk, and Kaiden was in no position to stop her. In just a few days, she had already appointed her mother and father and her useless brother on the council, and fired a third of the council that didn’t agree to her rule. She was out of control, and so was her brother, who ordered death of whoever spoke against him, but luckily I still had power to stop it, although I felt it wouldn’t be too long before she took that from me.A part of me felt it had been her plan all along, take the power and tip everything in her and her family’s favor while Kaiden struggled. And as I was realizing things, I tried my best to find out if my suspicions were true. Did Sheila have something to do with Celine’s disappearance? Why couldn’t we find Neil when we searched the woods and the whole kingdom?Was Celine really dead? Or was she killed?And what the hell was Mirena hiding?“Beta? Did you not hear what I asked you, or have you suddenly become deaf?”My attention was called up
CelineI have been working as a slave maid for five years to earn redemption for a crime I never committed.At three p.m. today, my last shift ends, meaning I won’t have to be a slave anymore. My eyes landed on the clock, and I watched as it chimed three. At the same time, the invisible weight I had carried on my shoulders for the last five years was lifted. A tear slid down my cheek.“I’m free,” I whispered to myself as I got up from my spot on the floor. Today, I was going to see my parents when they came to get me. A smile widened on my lips again. I would get to see my mama again.“You still believe that they care about you?” my wolf spoke up and sighed.“They will come, Silver. You are so pessimistic. I may not be their real daughter, but I am still a part of their family.”When I was young, I never doubted who I was. I was the Alpha’s daughter. My parents loved me, and my brother protected me. I was their little girl in their arms, bringing them joy and happiness, until I failed...
