2. A Consort

I have enough to prove the kingdom of Edington already.

I'll be back and take back everything I've lost anytime soon.

Ever since my former mate rejected me as his luna five years ago, the Kingdom of Edington also dethroned me as their queen.

They killed me, but unfortunately, I survived.

I had got nothing left to do because I was weak and powerless at that time. Well, not entirely worthless, but I accepted that my mate didn't want me there.

Besides, my mate, Michael, had brought a concubine while we were still married. She was immediately made the queen luna as soon as I was dethroned.

At first, I had no choice but to accept his decision to bring a concubine, even though it was painful for me, but I love the Kingdom. But I didn't bother to meddle with Michael's choices.

I loved him so much, even if I had difficulty accepting what he did. After constantly abusing me during our marriage and dethroning me as the queen, he brought a concubine?

How pathetic of them.

I was aware that my mate never loved me. Our marriage was purely for his own sake—because I was the daughter of the most powerful novel during those times, he thought marrying me would make the name of Edington even more prominent. And it happened.

Edington is now the most powerful kingdom compared to the others. And it was solely because of me and my name. Michael barely did his job as the Alpha King.

I now live in the kingdom of Sparta. It is the second biggest and most powerful kingdom next to Edington.

After knowing I was banished from my own domain, this kingdom accepted and saved me. They knew about my abilities, so they didn't have a single doubt about accepting me here.

Of course, I had to change my identity so none from kingdom Edington would recognize me.

Apparently, I was immediately made the queen's assistant as soon as I got here. I helped with a lot of things.

Ever since I was young, I have always wanted the best for everyone. Whether they may be humans or werewolves, I will take care of them as long as they are under my dominion.

The queen lived her life without a mate. So, this kingdom doesn't have a king for a hundred years.

I admire the queen because she managed to make this kingdom thrive, even without a mate, she proved that a queen doesn't need a king.

But sadly, four days ago, the queen died because she was so sick. Very unfortunate because there was no cure for her disease. Even the healer packs couldn't behold what sickness had gotten into the queen.

She left her last words to me as she was on her bed, still trying to fight for her life...

"Be the queen and take your revenge."

Ever since I was dethroned, I have never thought about taking revenge on my former mate and his concubine. Besides, the people of the kingdom of Edington are probably doing great.

But they were the queen's last words. I took it by heart and thought about it for hours, or rather, days.

I asked the other servants about Kingdom Edington, and I was disheartened to find out that many children and women were being killed because they were useless.

Also, the natural resources in that kingdom are decreasing.

WHAT THE HECK IS MICHAEL DOING?!

I realized that I had to get what once was mine. The kingdom of Edington is mine.

I'll be avenging all the people and werewolves that were ruthlessly killed.

I got more than I needed to know. And now, I've already made up my mind.

Days after the death of Queen Valeria, the queen of Sparta, I was immediately made queen. All the citizens of this kingdom were aware of everything I had been doing, so they had no doubts and made me their queen.

This night is the coronation, and I purposely invited Michael and his concubine from the kingdom, Edington.

I want to let them see that they've thrown a precious, expensive gem. That's if they will still recognize me.

If they don't come, it's fine too. I will be personally visiting Kingdom Edington for some matters anyway.

Avenge is all mine and mine alone.

Michael deserves to rot in the pits of the dark.

As the coronation started, people and werewolves began to come into the palace. They were in their best attires and dresses.

The castle was fancily decorated, but it was elegant. Lights were perfectly placed on where they should belong. Gold ornaments were at every corner of this place, and I could hear the appreciation from the nobles and commoners coming inside.

We didn't have much time to grieve for the queen's death because everything happened quickly. We have got no time to waste.

I loved the late queen so much. She has taught me everything I needed to know. Even if she is pretty rude towards me, I know she's just doing that because a good queen shouldn't show too much kindness to everyone.

She was the reason why I ended up in this empire. After she found my almost-lifeless body on the border of the kingdom Sparta, she immediately called the healers to heal me.

In contrast to her attitude, I am a very soft and gentle being. I don't fight. I can't even defend myself. But she taught me how to be independent and strong.

I'll try to be like her now that I am the queen.

I sat on the golden throne while watching the people dance while music started to play. My eyes gazed to look for Michael and his concubine, but I didn't see them.

I guess they won't come after all.

"Hello, Miss Johannes Alora Evoy, the new queen of the kingdom of Sparta." An old guy with a white beard and tuxedo approached me. He seemed to be in his late fifties, and he was shorter than me.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir," I greeted him.

"You're such a good being, queen Johannes. You really deserve to be on that throne," he said.

I was struck with joy by what the man uttered. Nobody has told me these things yet, even back in Kingdom Edington.

I smiled at him. "Thank you."

"By the way, this is my son, Prince Hendrix Afelio." A young man who seemed to be my age came in my direction.

He smiled at me. He has sleek blonde hair and blue eyes, which matches his fair skin perfectly. His face is sharp and starkly angular. He also has a great build and is definitely tall. His suit was hugging his body perfectly. Approximately six feet and five inches in height.

He is handsome, I must admit.

Family of Afelio, hmm.

"Are you from the other dimension? The World of Vampires? I don't seem to know about your family name, sir," I said while deeply thinking about their existence.

There are four kingdoms in the werewolf dimension.

Kingdom Edington, Kingdom Sparta, Kingdom Hestia, and Kingdom Terra.

All are classified based on power and economic standards. I wonder why Kingdon Edington still remains on top despite the cruel acts of their king.

"You're a sharp one, queen," the blonde-haired guy said.

"We're from the other dimension. We would want to give a token of appreciation for being such a kind being to the people of this kingdom."

I smiled at them. Vampires and werewolves have been on excellent terms ever since their bloodlust for humans was stopped by a curse. Well, it was instead a blessing, actually.

It's a long story, but vampires in today's age aren't drinking human blood anymore, except on some occasions though. Aside from that, they also decided to become at peace with everyone and the werewolves.

Everyone lived peacefully in their own dimensions two thousand years ago until today. And I'm happy that two vampires actually made it to my coronation, even if I don't think I invited them.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation. What's the token?" I asked and glanced at their bodies. I don't think they're holding the token.

"Well, the token is no other than my son, Prince Hendrix."

Huh?

"Please make him your consort, queen Alora."

A consort? Out of the blue?
