Presumed Dead, Now Queen:Alpha Arineth’s Vengeful mate/Lorelei

~Lyrielle~ “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” The voices of the werewolves that had gathered at the execution grew as my Family and I were dragged to the arena. Rough hands shoved me forward, and I winced in pain as the ropes around my wrists and ankles scratched my flawless skin, leaving behind a huge scar. As we walked by, the werewolves pressed in close, their faces twisted with rage. They threw things at us, especially me. A rotten apple struck my cheek, its sour juice mingling with the blood trickling from a gash on my forehead. Another hit my shoulder; then, a stone grazed my temple. “Whore!” “Murderer!” “Die, you filth!” I lowered my head in shame as I couldn't bear to meet their eyes, which once shined warmly when my Family and I walked the Capital streets. Everyone knew how noble my Family was. My father, Alpha Han, had been the pillar of our pack. He was known as a kind, tireless leader who’d earned their love. But that was gone now, erased by the accusations br

Prince Arineth

Presumed Dead, Now Queen:Alpha Arineth’s Vengeful mate/Lorelei

~Lyrielle~My eyes fluttered open to a blinding light stabbing into them. It was as sharp as a blade, and I quickly closed my eyes to adjust to the brightness. This was the netherworld; I was sure of it. I remembered the fire claiming me, and I should be dead, but then, as I shifted, I felt the softness pressed against my back. It was too real, too gentle for death.Pain seared through my left side, a burning ache that made me gasp. My hand fumbled, brushing the thick bandages around my ribs, face, left hand, and legs. The memories of the fire came crashing in, and I recalled the look my mother had given me when she was about to be hanged, how my father’s blood had splattered on my face as he was beheaded, and how my brother had told me he loved me.I shouldn’t be here. I should be in the netherworld, suffering for what I had done because of my greed.The door creaked open, and two figures walked into the room. A man dressed in a dark cloak, the hood hiding his face, stepped forward.

The Truth

Presumed Dead, Now Queen:Alpha Arineth’s Vengeful mate/Lorelei

~Lyrielle~“Where are we going?” I indulged the masked woman in another conversation as she finished dressing the bandage around me, but I received no response. Instead, she draped a cloak around my body. It fell past my shoulders and covered my face. It was so large that I felt hidden, swallowed by its folds.“Are we meeting the prince now?” I asked. She pointed to the door for me to walk out.When she didn’t answer me, I said nothing more and followed her outside into the open air.A sprawling courtyard stretched before me, leading to the front of a building. It was an old, abandoned structure, with half of it destroyed. The air tasted like dust and decay as I walked toward the front. My boots crunched over shards of glass and crumbled concrete. The place felt exposed and forgotten and seemed like a ruin or refuge, making me wonder how Arineth had discovered it and why he had brought me here.At the center of the courtyard stood Arineth, already waiting for me. His cloaked figure st

Betrayal: The price of greed

Presumed Dead, Now Queen:Alpha Arineth’s Vengeful mate/Lorelei

~Lyrielle~My eyes widened in shock as I felt the betrayal’s knife twisting in my gut. I fell to my knees, the cloak pooling around me, covering my small frame. I couldn’t believe what I had seen. Daveth was alive, laughing with the crowd; Eiraeth was marrying Diana; the Luna Queen and the Alpha King all wore looks of happiness on their faces while my family was gone, executed unjustly.Sobs tore from my throat, raw and ragged, and I stood up, lurching forward, desperate to reach them, to scream and ask why they had done this to me and my family, but Arineth’s hand clamped around mine, dragging me back. Before I could take another step, I was pulled outside and sucked into a portal, the purple light swallowing us whole.The portal opened again atop a mountain cliff, and I felt the wind howling around us, sending a shiver down my spine. I turned to face Arineth and yanked my hand free from his.“What the hell am I doing here?” I demanded. “I want to go back!” I shouted, the wind tearin
