Chapter: 101. He ruler who did not end the world Amara POV Peace turns out to be far louder than war. Not in the ways I expected. War carries screaming and steel and blood soaking into stone. Peace carries life. Children laughing through castle corridors that once echoed with fear. Vampire merchants arguing playfully with wolf blacksmiths in crowded market squares. Fae musicians filling taverns with strange glowing instruments while witches pretend not to enjoy themselves in the corners. The kingdoms breathe differently now. Like something ancient unclenched its fist around the world. The borders vanished three months ago. Not physically. The mountains still stand. The rivers still cut through territories. But the walls between species are gone. Travelers move freely now beneath unified law. Wolves venture into vampire cities without expecting violence. Fae caravans cross Lycan territory openly beneath moonlit skies. Witches have begun establishing sanctuaries near mixed villages where every species walks t

Chapter: 100. Then it’s decided Amara POV “By the gods. A Lycan?” The fae queen’s voice cuts through the chamber sharp as shattered crystal. Disbelief flashes openly across her face now, elegance cracking beneath the sheer force of whatever she feels crashing through her bond. Her violet eyes remain locked on Edgar as though looking away might somehow undo what just happened. Edgar still has not moved from the doorway. Honestly, I do not think he remembers what he even came in here for. Rainwater drips quietly from the edge of his black coat onto the stone beneath him while the entire council chamber watches the terrifying fae queen stare at one of Sebastian’s guards like the world just tilted sideways beneath her feet. Magic pulses again. Wild and ancient. The flowers woven into the fae queen’s silver hair bloom violently all at once, pale petals spiraling briefly into the air around her before dissolving into glowing dust. Edgar swallows hard. “Your Majesty,” he says carefully, sounding one

Chapter: 99. Supreme ruler Amara POV The storm does not quiet for the rulers of kingdoms. It greets them like an omen. Thunder rolls across the mountains long before the first delegation arrives, dark clouds swallowing the sky until the castle itself feels stranded between worlds, suspended somewhere between ruin and rebirth. By nightfall every throne has answered Sebastian’s summons. The great council chamber blazes with torchlight and old tension, massive pillars carved from black stone stretching toward vaulted ceilings painted with the history of kingdoms that once tried very hard to destroy one another. Now all of them sit beneath the same roof. Watching me. Judging me. Fearing me. The fae queen arrives first. She enters like moonlight sharpened into a weapon, silver hair braided with living flowers that bloom and wilt in shifting colors as she walks. Ancient power hums around her so intensely the air itself bends faintly near the hem of her pale gold gown. Beautiful. Terrifying

Chapter: 98. Unified throne Amara POV The throne room has never felt this cold before. Not because of winter. Not because of the storm clawing against the mountains outside. Because every person inside it can feel something shifting beneath the world. Sebastian stands beside the black stone throne with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, golden eyes fixed on Azriel like he expects the old man to transform into a monster at any second. Luther remains near the doors with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, while Beta Jamie watches in sharp silence from the edge of the chamber. No one trusts him. Frankly, neither do I. Yet somehow Azriel looks entirely unbothered by the hostility curling through the room. He simply studies the vaulted ceiling above us as servants rush to prepare the chamber for the elder council. “This.. is the first king,” Sebastian says quietly to me, clearly unbelieving. “I know.” “You believe him?” The question lodges somewhere ugly inside my chest. Do I?

Chapter: 97. That thing Amara POV The throne room has never felt this cold before. Not because of winter. Not because of the storm clawing against the mountains outside. Because every person inside it can feel something terrible shifting beneath the world.

Chapter: 96. Rubbish Amara POV Azriel. The name settles strangely in my mind, brushing against something old enough to ache. Not familiar exactly. Just heavy. Like a word buried beneath centuries of dust finally being spoken aloud again. The old man watches me from across the fire with quiet patience, silver brows lifting slightly when I remain standing near the doorway instead of answering immediately. Flames crackle softly inside the hearth beside him, painting warm gold across shelves overflowing with ancient books and loose parchment while the rest of the room drowns in shadows too thick for such a small space. “Well,” he says after a moment, voice threaded with amusement, “are you simply going to stand there looking confused, or will you join me for tea?” I glance back toward the corridor instinctively. No Sebastian. No guards. No footsteps echoing through the stairwell. Part of me expected him to follow anyway despite what happened in the yard. Another part feels strangely

Chapter: 94: Thank you for finding meViolette POV “I now pronounce you husband and wife. King Viktor, you may kiss your lovely bride.” The minister said. Viktor didn’t hesitate to pull me into his arms. He placed a hand behind my neck and the other on my lower back and pressed his soft lips against mine. “I love you.” He whispered against me. “And I love you.” I smiled. He picked me up and spun me around as the room around us cheered happily. “Now, per the requests of the King, I will be crowning Princess Violette as our Queen, now.” The minister said. He walked up to me and I kneeled. “You will make a great Queen, lady Violette. Long may you reign.” He said as he placed the crown on my head. He held his hand out for me but before I could grab it, Viktor growled. “Mine.” He growled. The minister chuckled nervously as he backed away. Viktor held his hand out for me and I grabbed it. The crowd burst into laughter and cheers at the sight of their new Queen. “Should we run? I can’t wait to get you out of this gown.”

Chapter: 93. A good QueenViolette POV “You may kiss the bride.” The pastor said. Cedric pulled her in for a kiss and the crowd went crazy. Little Colette cooed contently in my arms, Viktor holding my hand tightly. “The tiara suits her well.” Viktor said. I gave him a smile. “It does, doesn’t it?” I asked. He nodded in approval. “We should go, the fireworks are about to start.” He said as he got up. I’d just announced Lillian as the ruler, and she’s already made a change. I love it. I walked over to Beatrice and Sylvia. “Let me take her. You both go enjoy the fireworks.” Beatrice said with a smile. I handed Colette to her and she quickly took off with Sylvia. “Ready?” He asked. I nodded. “More than ready.” I said. We followed Cedric and Lillian out of the main door along with the crowd of people. As if on cue, the fireworks began. Viktor pulled me to the front of the crowd as we watched.. a bright smile plastered on his face. “I love you.” He said softly. “I love you.” I replied. I cupped his face

Chapter: 92. I look like a princess!Violette POV “Oh, Princess.. I’m so glad you’re awake.” Lillian ran up to the bed and held me tightly. “She’s no longer a princess.” Viktor said. Lillian pulled away and looked at me, then her eyes widened. “Your father.. now you’re the Queen of Dubois werewolves.” She said. I let out a shaky sigh. “After the coronation.. yes.” I said. “And that will be tomorrow.. if you’re up for it. They want to make you Queen as soon as possible.” Viktor said. I looked at him and nodded. “How will we take care of two kingdoms.. they’re so far apart.” I said. “We.. we will probably have to appoint someone to do so until our pups come of age.” Viktor said. My eyes drifted to Lillian. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked. “You could do it.. right? Just rule in my stead until our pups can take over?” I asked. Her eyes widened and she shook her head. “Violette.. I don’t know..” she said softly. “Who else? I trust you so much.. I know you will do right by my kingdom. It’s no

Chapter: 91. ColetteViolette POV Where am I? What happened? My mind flashed with memories and my eyes shot open. My pup.. where’s my pup? My hands rolled over my empty belly. Where’s my pup? “Viktor? Viktor!” I cried frantically. I heard quick footsteps and a door opened, Viktor ran out of his office and over to me. “Violette? You’re awake! Goddess.. I was afraid..” he cupped my face and looked at me. He doesn’t seem to have gotten much sleep. His black hair was tousled.. his dark bags under his brown eyes.. “What happened? Where’s the pup?” I cried. My fingers kept running over my empty, flat belly. I curse werewolf healing. “She’s okay! She’s perfect Violette.” He said softly. He wiped my tears away with his thumbs. “She?” I asked. “You don’t remember?” He responded. “I do.. but everything after my.. Father is blurry.” I said. He visibly tensed at the mention of my Father. “You.. remember what happened? That you.. killed him?” He asked. I nodded. “Where is she? I want to see her.. I need

Chapter: 90. She’s perfectViktor POV “I’ll kill everyone if she’s not okay!” I growled through mind link as I followed her scent. Loren and several others followed closely behind as our claws dug into the earth. “It was Boris! We couldn’t find him anywhere and servants said they saw him leave in the direction of your chambers. It has to be him.” Enzo bellowed. I felt a sharp pain in my cheek and growled.. she’s being hurt! I have to get to her.. I have to get to them.. I ran as fast as I possibly could.. I could feel her fear.. her pain.. being marked linked me to her, same with her mark.. I searched for Arthur.. but he was nowhere to be found. I knew.. I just knew when I couldn’t find him that he was after her. After half an hour of running, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and tumbled to the ground. “Ah!” I growled as I shifted back into human form. I held my stomach but there was no blood.. Violette.. I gathered myself but felt rage like you wouldn’t believe.. hurt.. pain.. sorrow.. what is happe

Chapter: 89. I..will pushViolette POV “Look at my daughter.. finally able to do things that are necessary,” Father said as he walked towards me. His white hair flashed brightly in my sight as the rest of him was blurry. I let out a scream of pain as another wave of contractions rolled through me. “You know.. after all these years.. I can’t believe you were strong enough to survive two attempts on your life.” He said. I tried to move away from him as he walked towards me.. but I was just too weak.. “Fuck you,” I growled. “That’s no way to treat your father.. I took care of you. Made you who you are.” He growled lightly as he kneeled in front of me. “Why.. are you doing this?” I asked through my heavy breaths. My gown was soaking in my blood.. I tried to hold my hand against it but I don’t think it is doing much. “You know why, my sweet daughter..” he said as he tried to reach for my face. I jerked my head back and held the blood-soaked, silver knife between us. He let out a chuckle. “You won’t.” He sai
