Silver Queen of Lunar Ridge
She died watching her parents bleed out in a wrecked truck, punishment for rejecting the wrong man.
Now Evangeline Cross has three months to rewrite her fate.
At eighteen, Eva returns to the night she publicly rejected Cassian Vance, the volatile Lycan heir who destroyed her life. This time, she doesn’t run. She makes her rejection brutal and final… then seals it by kissing a powerful stranger in front of the entire elite academy.
The stranger is Alistair Vance, Cassian’s father. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable Sovereign Principal of Lunar Ridge Academy.
To survive, Eva sets a dangerous plan in motion: seduce the man who rules them all. Become the woman who controls the father, and force her toxic ex-fated mate to call her stepmother.
But Alistair is no pawn. His dominance is devastating, his obsession lethal, and the forbidden heat between them threatens to burn everything down. As Cassian’s bullying turns murderous and ancient secrets claw their way to the surface, Eva must decide how far she’ll go to protect her family, and whether the monster she’s awakening in the Principal will save her… or claim her completely.
In a world of fated bonds, royal bloodlines, and brutal power games, one girl is rewriting the rules.
Some bonds should never be broken.
Some should never be formed.
This time, she’s not the prey.
She’s the queen in the making.

Chapter: The stalker in the stacksChapter 10The library of Lunar Ridge Academy was massive. At night, it looked like a haunted forest made of dark wood and stone. The bookshelves were very tall, reaching all the way up to the high ceiling. Only a few small lamps were turned on, casting long, spooky shadows across the floorboards.I was working in the restricted history section on the third floor. My job was to put away a heavy stack of old books before the building closed at ten o'clock.My body still felt weak from the magic burn in the administrative office, but I kept pushing myself. I slid a thick book onto a high shelf, letting out a soft sigh.Suddenly, the air in the room changed.The temperature dropped fast, and the heavy scent of wood-smoke and ozone filled the narrow aisle. It was an angry, heavy scent that made my instincts scream.I turned around quickly, but I was already trapped.Cassian was standing at the end of the aisle. His golden eyes were bright and furious in the dark. He didn't say a word. He

Chapter: The Ledger of liesChapter 9The secondary administrative office was located on the second floor of the main building. It was a large room filled with wooden desks, filing cabinets, and small computer terminals. During the day, the school workers handled the daily budget here. But at night, the room was completely dark and empty.The only sound was the soft hum of the air conditioner and the steady click of my plastic broom against the floorboards.Gideon had assigned me to clean this floor for the evening. He was downstairs checking the perimeter gates, leaving me alone for exactly one hour.“This is my chance,” I thought, looking around the quiet room.In my first life, I came to this office only once. It was the terrible day my father was accused of stealing rare magical artifacts from the school storage. The school financial director, Cassandra Vance, had sat behind the largest desk, showing my father doctored digital logs that proved his guilt. My father had wept, swearing he was innocent, but no o

Chapter: Ruined ArmorChapter 8The next afternoon, the weather was very bad. Grey clouds covered the sky, and cold rain tapped hard against the glass windows of the locker room.I walked into the work-study changing area after my history class. My body was still very sore from the heavy vault shift last night. Every muscle ached, and my chest felt tight. But I needed to change into my spare uniform for my next work rotation.I stopped right in front of my metal locker.My stomach dropped.The locker door was bent completely open. The heavy steel lock was broken, hanging loosely from the latch. Inside, everything was completely destroyed.My clean, spare work-study uniforms, the simple white shirts and black skirts, were ripped into thin shreds. They were covered in dark, dirty water from the campus courtyard. My extra books were torn apart, their pages soaked and ruined. Someone had even dumped smelly kitchen garbage all over my clean sneakers."Oh no," a soft voice said from behind me.I turned around. C

Chapter: The First ShiftChapter 7The subterranean Lower Tower Vaults were freezing cold.Down here, far beneath the grand lobbies and pristine hallways of Lunar Ridge Academy, the air smelled of ancient stone, damp earth, and old paper. The walls were made of rough, dark granite that had not seen sunlight in centuries. Long rows of heavy iron shelves stretched into the gloom, packed with iron-bound ledgers, historical records, and sealed magical containers that hummed with a low, faint vibration.I held the heavy industrial mop tight, my hands stiff from the chill.A few feet away, Gideon stood perfectly still in the shadows of the arched doorway. His arms were folded across his broad, armored chest. His sharp, scarred face was completely blank, but his dark eyes tracked my every movement. He didn't speak. He didn't offer to help. He was simply watching, evaluating my stamina like a soldier testing a recruit.I pushed the mop across the dusty stone floor, my muscles aching with every motion.In my first lif

Chapter: The Dinning HallChapter 6The main dining hall of Lunar Ridge Academy looked like a Gothic cathedral converted into an exclusive playground for the supernatural elite. High vaulted ceilings lost themselves in deep shadows, illuminated only by floating, dim magical sconces and massive stained-glass windows that cast long, bloody streaks of red and purple light across the stone floor. Long mahogany tables stretched down the length of the hall, rigidly divided by social hierarchy.At the far end, elevated on a marble dais, sat the elite tables, the domain of the high-ranking Alphas, the wealthy trust-fund heirs, and the old-money lineages who ran the territories.The moment Chloe and I stepped through the heavy double doors, the ambient roar of hundreds of talking students dropped significantly. The friction from the atrium confrontation had already traveled ahead of us."Just keep your head down and follow me," Chloe whispered, her grip tightening on my forearm as she steered me toward the lower-rankin

Chapter: The ConfrontationCHAPTER 5Cassian’s Alpha aura slammed into the atrium like a heavy wave. The air thickened right away, carrying that sharp mix of ozone and burnt wood he always gave off when he was losing it. It pressed down on everyone around us, the kind of power meant to force lower wolves to their knees and make them bare their throats. In the past, scholarship kids would’ve scattered like scared rabbits, eyes on the floor, trying not to draw attention.But I stayed put. Backpack hanging loose off one shoulder, feet planted on the polished stone. I didn’t blink. Didn’t drop my gaze.The memory of the crash was still too fresh, metal twisting around me, the sick crunch of things breaking, blood everywhere. That kind of pressure made Cassian’s little display feel almost pathetic. I just looked up at him, calm as I could manage.“Step back, Cassian,” I said, voice carrying through the sudden silence. “You’re blocking the exit.”A ripple went through the crowd. Gasps. A few phones sneaking out of po

Chapter: The kiss we couldn't resistChapter 30Vivian's POVI get why he would hate me, but he's also being a jerk about it too. It’s not like his brothers haven't gone through similar experiences as him, but he was the one going out of his way to always draw a line between us. I don’t think I can endure an entire night of this. I was trying my best to pretend as if everything wasn't falling down like a stack of cards, a plan that I had put so much effort into, destroying itself right in front of my eyes and here he was, being himself again, as always.Before I could reach for the door and head out, something else grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I spun around and, before I knew it, I was pressed against a warm chest. My jaw lifted upwards to meet those eyes that burned and glazed themselves with a need that they had never agreed to succumb to before, but now it was spilling out."Is that how easy it is for you to walk away?" he asked. "After all you said about coming here and helping us out, about being a part of us,

Chapter: Alone with the viperChapter 29 Gabriel's pov I have lost my mind, there is no doubt about it. Lucien, ugh that brother of mine was really something else, I know he was intending for me to spend time without woman but he should have been more understanding and refused when I was pushed by my wolf to invite her into my bed chambers at night it's just that when her stomach grumbled loud enough to wake the dead. I should have been revolted, everything about her should revolt me instead of drawing me in. It was the stupid mate bond, messing with my head nothing more and nothing less I wouldn't even care about whatever would become of her if they had decided to hang her on his bike for the moral of the warriors I would have been right behind it, if it wasn't for this connection that had been written between us without my approval or consent. My eyes flow over to the door. I had been looking at it repeatedly for the past 30 minutes, wish she should have arrived before now. Did something happen? Veronica s

Chapter: Under Gabriel's watchChapter 28 Vivian's POV Should I use my power? All this time I had been carefully harnessing my power. To escape right now would be difficult but not impossible, I could feel it coarsing through my veins the ability to recover all at my fingertips if I chose to but this power was not strong enough to take down the entire werewolf army and that was where Lycans and played in. I had come to win their trust. Even if my pack has decided to abandon me it does not change the fact that I am the reason why they even got so far in the world in the first place. Are you really going to throw away an asset like me just like that? What if I came to your side and helped you guys instead? I knew how shameless I sounded right now but it's not as if I was so bothered about my dignity in my past two lives when I poured myself out for a mom who had left me to burn and did. Lady Veronica did not look convinced or impressed in the slightest in fact she looked annoyed but before she could say anythin

Chapter: A death sentenceChapter 27Vivian's POVWhen I had first come here, I did not expect everything to turn out so poorly. I mean, it’s not like I expected that the Lycan princes would lay out the red carpet for me and welcome me, someone who had caused the death of probably many people who were close to them, both warriors and civilians, all by my strategies with the advantage of a second life backing me. But at the same time, I had hoped that they would cave in a little easily, or at least easier than this.Instead, there I stood, with windows and a hard metallic table, and questions and answers. There was also that woman whose name I had been able to deduce was Veronica. After several exchanges between her and my mates, it felt strange to call them that, and it didn’t exactly roll off the tongue just yet, but the way I still wanted to be around them and inhale their natural scents was something else, particularly right now, from Gabriel, there was a strong, almost acidic beat to his scent. It would ha

Chapter: The werewolves's responseChapter 26Gabriel's POVI swung my fist at the punching bag over and over again until the pain from my bruised knuckles was more than anything else going on inside me, more than my wolf that was howling in my consciousness, demanding for her, pushing me to the very limits of my sanity. It felt like I was a rubber band stretched so far and ready to snap at the slightest trigger.I threw yet another punch. The pain washing over me was a relaxation compared to what my wolf was trying to do. It needed destruction that almost felt numbing to everything else. Then, just as I was about to throw yet another punch, the bag did not swing back. I tilted my head, and on the side was my brother, Lucien, holding the bag.He gently placed it back at the center, shaking his head. "This isn't going to help," he said.I had been so distracted by punching, I couldn't believe I didn't even notice his presence. I grabbed a towel, wiping my face and finding the nearest cushioned bench to sit on. This was

Chapter: Waiting for their answerChapter 25Jacob’s POVI have lived my entire life believing that beef could not be inhaled until this very moment. The Viper sunk her teeth into the meat, tearing it apart like it was nothing. I had the urge to make a comment about her eating habits, then I noticed the slight indents in her jaw. Had they been feeding her anything at all?A stir formed within my wolf in that moment, urging me to demand what they had done to her, if they had bothered to even feed her at all. But I controlled myself, keeping those instinctive feelings hidden and buried as they should have been from the start.Through an unexpected turn of events, she had been brought into my chambers and would be staying here for the meantime. I was supposed to be watching her 24/7, but I knew that this was also part of the punishment that Lucien had been talking about earlier. I could feel the gaze of the guards on my back whenever I did choose to step out of this room, which was very rare. I was questioned about where
