2024-11-16 18:28:05The palace gardens were like a hidden world, their beauty nearly stealing my breath every time I wandered there. Today, sunlight danced on the dewdrops resting on the flowers, casting a soft glow on the neatly trimmed hedges and winding paths. It was a relief to be outside after so many tense days within the palace walls, where whispers followed me and the weight of judgment lingered in every room. With Lea by my side, I felt I could finally breathe again, at least for a moment.
“Lea, do you ever feel like this place is almost too perfect?” I asked as we walked slowly through the garden, taking in the floral aromas that floated in the warm air. “Like it’s hiding something?”
Lea chuckled softly, shaking her head. “Every place has its secrets, Lady Amelia. And some gardens can be dangerous, too. Beautiful, but thorny.”

Days had slipped by since Darius had vanished, his absence like a shadow that clung to every corner of my life. I’d been growing accustomed to our lessons, to his sharp wit, his guidance, and even to the way he always seemed to know the exact moment my mind began to wander. He was more than a teacher; he was becoming an anchor. So, when he disappeared without a word, I couldn’t ignore the pang of betrayal that settled in my chest.In the days that followed, I found myself making excuses for him. Perhaps he’d been sent on an urgent mission or called away by a family matter. But each passing day without a single word from him chipped away at my hope. In desperation, I turned to Lea, asking her to look into his whereabouts quietly. Her return brought news that felt like a punch to the gut.“Lady Amelia,” sh

The palace buzzed with a tense but lively energy as preparations for my coronation resumed. It felt surreal to think that I was just a few days away from becoming a true princess, and, soon after, the bride of Grey and Blue. The weeks since Darius’s disappearance had left me unsettled, but as my training resumed, I found myself oddly grateful for everything he’d taught me. He may have left with more questions than answers, but his lessons had stuck with me in ways I didn’t expect.Each morning began with a rigorous schedule designed to refine every aspect of my future role. Every step, every tilt of my head, every word I spoke was carefully scrutinized by the royal teachers. But this time, I didn’t falter or feel overwhelmed. I moved with a confidence that I hadn’t felt before, and I knew, deep down, it was because of Darius. I silently thanked him every time I f

The morning light filtered softly through my window, illuminating the delicate necklace in my hand—the necklace Alpha Cedric had given me. The simple silver chain was adorned with a small, ruby pendant that caught the light with a subtle glow, reminding me of the mystery that still shrouded my past. I wondered if wearing it at the coronation would be a mistake. It might spark questions from the court, raise eyebrows, stir fears… but maybe, in a strange way, that was what I wanted. Maybe it was time for the truth, for others to acknowledge that I was different—and that I was proud of it.I ran my fingers over the pendant, lost in thought. I felt a deep longing for answers, for some connection to my family that went beyond whispers and cautionary tales. So many people feared what I was without even knowing me, and the thought of spending my life under that shadow felt like a

The morning of my wedding had finally arrived, and with it came a mix of excitement, nerves, and the anticipation of something greater. My room was bustling with royal servants who floated around me in practiced movements, helping me into my wedding gown. The dress was unlike anything I’d ever worn—a cascade of ivory silk and lace that shimmered with the slightest hint of silver in the morning light. As one servant pinned a delicate flower in my hair and another applied soft strokes of makeup, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the day. Today, I was about to become not only a wife to Grey and Blue but a princess of the Lycan Kingdom.Despite the whirlwind around me, my mind drifted to my family. I hadn’t seen my brother Levi or Bea since I’d arrived here, and I hadn’t heard from them, either. Anxiety prickled my skin, and I glanced at Lea, who was helping with my veil.“Lea,” I whispered, keeping my voice low so as not to startle the servants. “Have you heard anything from Levi? O

The palace hallways were silent as I stalked through them, my wedding gown trailing behind me, smeared with blood and dirt. I could hear the distant sounds of my mates, Grey and Blue, calling my name, but I ignored them. My world had narrowed to a single point, a single purpose: find Astrid and make her pay.Each step echoed in the vast, empty corridors as I searched, my heart thudding with the weight of grief and rage. Levi… Bea… the two people who had been with me through everything, my family, were gone. Murdered. The pain of it was more than I could bear, yet it fueled me, sharpened my senses, driving me to find the one person I knew was responsible. Astrid. I felt it in my bones, in the deep, unshakable certainty that only grief could bring. She had done this, or she knew who had. And I would make her tell me everything.“You’re Highness, please!” Lea’s voice called from behind me, desperate and pleading. I felt her small hand wrap around my wrist, trying to pull me back. “Don’t…

I opened my eyes to darkness. A darkness so deep it felt like it was swallowing me whole. The damp, icy stone walls pressed in on me, as if they, too, condemned me to this small cell, tucked away in the farthest corner of the palace dungeons. Days had passed—I’d lost count—and I’d seen no one. Not Grey, not Blue, not even Lea. I was alone, a prisoner in every sense, with nothing but the suffocating weight of grief and the relentless bite of the silver chain around my ankle, searing into my skin.Yet the physical pain was nothing. The raw, gaping wound in my heart made everything else fade to numbness. Levi and Bea were gone, ripped from my life. My family, the only ones who truly knew me… gone. I kept replaying that moment when I found them, the blood, the horror. And then Astrid’s mocking smile flashed through my mind, her words echoing like a curse.“You will regret this,” she had said. “You’ll lose everyone.”Every instinct, every shred of me knew she was behind it. I could feel it

I sat on the cold floor of my cell, staring at the wall as if somehow it could bring me comfort. I had long lost any hope of rescue. My time was running out, and though my body was heavy with exhaustion, my heart oddly felt light. The end would be peace. I would see Levi, Bea, and my family again. I would finally be free from the pain that had clung to me since their deaths.The guards would be here soon. They would lead me to the gallows, and I would be another piece of the kingdom’s history, a name to be whispered with caution, a warning of the danger that a red lycan could bring. I straightened my back, reminding myself that I would walk to my death with dignity. They wouldn’t see me tremble or break. This was my last defiance.A loud clanging interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up to see a tray being slid through the iron bars. On it were silver goblets of wine, a loaf of freshly baked bread, slices of cheese, and a hunk of roasted meat—the last meal. How considerate of them.Fo

The dream was too perfect, a cruel comfort, offering me a glimpse of everything I’d lost. I was with my family. Mira was there, her laughter bright and clear as she teased Levi. Bea’s familiar smile warmed me like sunlight, and we sat together, the four of us, as if nothing terrible had ever happened.But as quickly as the comfort appeared, it shattered. Astrid emerged from the shadows, her eyes cold and full of malice, and she killed them—one by one, while I was helpless to stop her. I screamed, desperate and terrified, but my voice seemed trapped within my own throat.With a gasp, I woke, my body drenched in cold sweat, my heart pounding wildly. I was back in reality, and the weight of it crushed me all over again. “It was just a dream,” I whispered, but somehow, it still hurt.Wiping the tears from my face, I took a shaky breath. Just then, a quiet voice broke through the silence. “Amelia?”I froze, the voice almost too familiar, too comforting. My gaze snapped to the side, and my

The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess Chapter 41 – Discovering Elemental Powers
It was still early when I slipped out of the small wooden cabin I’d been staying in, the first blush of dawn just starting to creep over the tops of the trees. The air was crisp, with that lingering coolness that always comes before the morning fully wakes, and it filled my lungs like a jolt of pure energy. The Red Moon Pack was still quiet, the peaceful lull of a world not yet stirring, and for once, I felt almost… normal. Like maybe this could have been my life all along.The path led me through a dense part of the forest where the canopy of trees hung thick, creating a tunnel of green. I followed it to the clearing where Elder Alara, one of my birth mother’s closest friends, was waiting for me. She was a slender, ethereal figure, with eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the forest and a voice that was as gentle as it was commanding. She was one of the few who knew about my lineage, about the powers that might be lying dormant inside me, waiting to be awakened.When she saw me a
The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess Chapter 40 – Bond with the Red Moon Pack
The camp was quiet that evening, the sky draped in a soft twilight. I had finally washed off the day’s sweat and dirt, feeling a rare moment of calm as I sat by the small fire I’d built just outside my tent. The flames flickered, casting a warm glow, and for the first time in what felt like ages, I allowed myself to relax. But just as I settled into the silence, I heard footsteps approaching. I turned to see Sheila, her face framed by the dim firelight.Sheila had an energy about her—sharp, lively, and a bit intimidating. She was one of the best fighters in the Red Moon Pack, with a reputation for her agility and precise strikes. She’d been with the rogues for years, and she was practically a legend among them. I admired her, but we’d rarely spoken one-on-one.“Mind if I join you?” she asked, her voice casual but her eyes studying me closely.“Not at all,” I replied, surprised by the faint hint of warmth in my own voice. I gestured to the log beside me, and she took a seat, stretching
The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess Chapter 39 – The Journey Begins
I never thought I’d be standing here, with these people who call themselves my pack. "The Red Moon Pack" — they were all rogues, outcasts, or descendants of those who had once served my family. It still felt strange hearing them call me “Queen,” but every time they did, I felt a pang of pride and a weight of responsibility. It was surreal and yet felt like the beginning of something inevitable, something that had been set in motion long before I’d even known who I was.Standing in the center of the clearing, I inhaled deeply, letting the earthy scent of pine and wet leaves ground me. My muscles ached, but it was a satisfying ache, one that meant I was growing stronger. Each day, I pushed myself, throwing myself into training with a single-minded focus I’d never known I was capable of. This wasn’t just about survival anymore; it was about reclaiming what was mine, avenging those I’d lost, and protecting the ones I still had.The soft crunch of footsteps pulled me out of my thoughts, an
The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess Chapter 38 – The True King’s Downfall
The Lycan Kingdom had once been the pinnacle of peace and prosperity. Under the wise and generous rule of King Artemis and his beloved Queen, Luna Genea, the kingdom thrived. The Red Lycan bloodline was revered as a symbol of strength and nobility, its rulers known for their compassion and loyalty to their people. With each moonlit festival and harvest season, the Lycan people gathered to celebrate their king and queen, secure in the belief that their reign would endure for generations.But beneath the surface, hidden in the shadows, seeds of envy and ambition were beginning to take root.At the heart of this dark ambition was Darwin, the king’s trusted Beta and the queen’s own brother. As a young Lycan, Darwin had pledged his loyalty to his family and had been a close companion to King Artemis, standing by his side in countless battles and council meetings. But over the years, Darwin’s admiration of his brother-in-law shifted into something more corrosive. Despite his outward devotio
The Royal Blood of the Lycan Princess Chapter 37 – The Red Moon Pack
The small village nestled in the jungle was nothing like the towering palace halls or the sprawling gardens I’d grown up in. Here, everything was simple, raw, and somehow more alive. There were only five houses, all made of rough wood, arranged in a circle around a fire pit. The jungle was dense around us, the air thick with the smell of pine and damp earth, and the distant chirping of birds was the only sound that broke the quiet.As I walked through the village, children peeked out shyly from behind their parents, their eyes wide with curiosity. There were only eight of them, and they clung to one another, some clutching their mothers' skirts. Most of the adults nodded as I passed, eyes warm and filled with something I hadn’t seen in a long time—respect.They all called me “Queen,” and each time, a flutter of disbelief and something like pride stirred within me. A title I’d only ever been scorned for was now spoken here with reverence, as if it was something I deserved.When lunch c
