Azreal"That's impossible!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. "No one can see that tattoo on your back, not even me," Mom said, staring at me as if I had just said the most unbelievable thing she had ever heard."She saw it, Mom, and she is the lady from that night, not Aurora," I said.Mom's hand flew to her mouth as she struggled to process what I had just told her. She stood frozen for a moment, taking slow, uneven breaths while staring at me with disbelief written all over her face."Are you sure?" she whispered. "Celestina said no one else can see it except you and those connected to it. I thought they got wiped out?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise and confusion.I understood exactly why she was reacting that way because I was just as confused.The tattoo on my back was no ordinary mark. It wasn't something anyone had ever been able to see. Not even my own mother had seen it, despite being there the day the powerful witch, Celestina, performed the spell.That

AzraelI pushed the door to my office open and stormed inside, with Gabriel following closely behind me. The anger boiling inside me was too much to control. I marched straight to my desk and, with one sweep of my arm, sent everything on it crashing to the floor. Papers scattered everywhere while books and ornaments hit the ground with loud thuds.Still not satisfied, I grabbed the chair beside my desk and hurled it across the room. It slammed hard against the wall before falling to the floor."You need to calm down," Gabriel said.I turned to him sharply, my chest rising and falling with every heavy breath. "Do you think calming down is going to solve any of this?" I shouted."You destroying things won't make anything better either," he replied. "At least sit down so we can think this through. Maybe we'll find something we can do."I let out a bitter laugh and ran a hand through my hair. There was nothing anyone could do. Just when I thought everything was finally falling into place,

Athena“The king is already on his way here. Don't kill her yet,” one of the guards surrounding me said.The moment he spoke, all the guards immediately took several cautious steps backward, putting some distance between us. Their swords and guns were still pointed in my direction, but none of them dared to come any closer. Their expressions were filled with fear and caution, as if they expected me to attack again at any second.A few of the guards quickly rushed to the two men lying motionless on the floor. They carefully lifted them up before hurrying out of the treasury. The two men looked lifeless, their bodies covered in blood, and I couldn't tell if they were still alive or already dead.I stood there, completely frozen. Slowly, I lowered my gaze to my hand, I was holding a knife. Fresh blood dripped from the blade onto the floor beneath me.My breathing was heavy, and my chest rose and fell rapidly. My entire body felt exhausted, like I had just been through a fierce battle. Ev

AzraelI frowned deeply at him, searching his face for any sign that he was joking. My chest felt tight, and my mind refused to accept what I had just heard."Is this supposed to be a joke? Because it's not fucking funny, Gabriel." I said, my voice low and filled with disbelief.Gabriel didn't laugh or even smile. The excitement that had been on his face moments ago had been replaced with complete seriousness. He looked directly into my eyes, determined to make me understand that he wasn't making any of this up."I wish I was joking. Remember I told you that the girl from the room that morning had wavy black hair, just like Athena's? And when we visited her pack and met Aurora, I told you her hair was different from the girl I met that morning. Just like she was trying to hide her face that day, she did the same today, and I knew I had seen that move somewhere significant before." Gabriel said.My breathing became uneven. The words echoed over and over inside my head. It sounded impos

AzraelI poured myself another glass of drink, just like I had been doing for the past few days. The bottle on my desk was almost empty, yet I reached for it again without thinking.The alcohol had little effect on me. It didn't calm my anger or ease the frustration eating away at me. If anything, it only gave me something to do while I sat alone in my office, drowning in thoughts I couldn't escape, It had been like this every day.Three days, that was all that remained before my mating ceremony. The closer the day came, the worse my mood became. I was angry all the time. The slightest thing annoyed me, and everyone around me seemed to know better than to cross my path.I hadn't spoken to Mother since the day she cornered me at the arena and made that announcement before the entire kingdom. Thinking about it still made my jaw tighten.That day should have been about the warriors. They had fought with everything they had, risking their lives in the contest. They deserved to be celebrat

AthenaThere were only three days left until the mating ceremony. Yet I still hadn't come up with a single plan that could stop it from happening. The thought alone made me restless.For the past few days, my mind had been working endlessly, searching for even the smallest loophole that I could use against Aurora. Every possibility I came up with ended in failure before it even began.Every time I closed my eyes, all I could picture was Aurora standing beside Azrael as the newly crowned Luna of the Central Kingdom. The image alone was enough to make my blood boil.Talia had even tried to help, she had casually brought up the subject with Gabriel, asking if it was possible for someone to challenge the Luna on the day of the mating ceremony.Unfortunately, his answer had crushed the little hope we had. According to him, it wasn't possible. The council would never approve such a challenge because Aurora hadn't officially become Luna yet. She first had to be given the opportunity to prove
