(Daciana POV)

The masked servant rushed through the smoke with her silver blade raised, and for one frozen heartbeat, everyone moved too slowly.

Lyall lay helpless beside me, his hand still gripping mine, while the ring bearing Bardolph’s family crest burned against my palm.

Conri shouted my name, but a fallen beam blocked his path, leaving only smoke, fire, and my wounded body between Lyall and death.

I did not think like a servant, a rejected Luna, or a lost princess when the blade came down.

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 110: The Luna Who Chose Herself

    Daciana looked at Bardolph kneeling before her, and the silence around them carried every broken promise they no longer needed to repair with lies.He asked for no forgiveness, no mate bond, no restored love, and no place beside her that her heart had not freely chosen.For a moment, the old wound inside her remembered the girl who had loved him before pride, betrayal, Ashina, and Blackfang’s cruelty turned love into ashes.Then the woman she had become placed one hand over that wound, not to reopen it, but to thank it for surviving.“You may repair what you helped destroy,” Daciana said, and Bardolph lifted his face with pain shining openly in his eyes.“But your atonement will belong to the children, the servants, the wolves, and the pack you failed, not to any hope of owning me again.”Bardolph bowed his head lower, and for the first time his grief did not reach toward her like a chain asking to be pitied.“It will be enough to serve what I once failed to protect,” he said, and his

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 109: The Crownless Queen’s Last Command

    Daciana stood beneath the broken altar roof, crownless before Blackfang, while the cries of rescued children still trembled through the blood stone.No crown shone on her head, no throne lifted her above them, and no moonlight wrapped her shoulders like proof of authority.Yet every wolf, elder, servant, warrior, rescued child, broken mother, and guilty witness waited for her voice more than any crown.The bride seal had shattered from Otsana’s wrist, and the pain it carried had returned to Adolphus like justice remembering its road home.Adolphus screamed beside the old throne, but his voice was no longer one voice, because every stolen child spoke through his punishment.The sound made Blackfang tremble, not because the pack feared Adolphus anymore, but because they finally heard the children they had ignored.Otsana stood free but bleeding, her gold mercy mark uncovered for the first time without a shadow bride chain strangling its light.Ashina knelt without rank near the altar ci

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 108: The Shadow Bride Who Refused the Throne

    (Otsana POV)The bride's seal burned around my mercy mark, but Ashina’s sentence made the shadow throne tremble beneath me like stolen power losing witnesses.I watched the maid who once stood above my sister bow without rank, beauty, luxury, or lies, and something inside me understood the shape of freedom differently.Freedom was not always walking away untouched, crowned, admired, or believed by everyone who had once misunderstood your pain.Sometimes freedom was standing inside the mark made to own you and refusing to let it decide what your mercy meant.The black moon still hung above Blackfang like an eye that believed choosing me was the same as possessing me.Maelor’s shadow throne still opened beneath my feet, hungry for my gold mark, my fear, and the false queenhood it wanted to wrap around my throat.Adolphus stood twisted before us, no longer fully himself, while Blood Feather watched through his golden eye with ancient satisfaction and growing impatience.“You were named q

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 107: The Maid Who Lost Every Lie

    (Ashina POV)I survived the sacrifice long enough to understand that living could become a harsher judgment than dying beautifully before witnesses.The altar circle released me slowly, not with mercy, but with the exhaustion of a monster that had failed to keep my son’s soul.My body hurt everywhere, and the beauty I once sharpened into a weapon felt ruined beneath blood, ash, sweat, and burned shadow.I heard Maelor’s faint cry somewhere beneath the blood stone, protected by Daciana’s crownless mercy and Rudina’s hidden spell.That sound kept me breathing when pride, victory, rank, and the old hunger to stand above Daciana had finally abandoned me.Only the small frightened cry of the child I nearly lost remained strong enough to pull my soul back into my body.The pack watched me from the broken altar chamber, and I saw hatred, pity, disgust, confusion, and something worse than all of them.They remembered me smiling beside Bardolph while Daciana wore humiliation like a chain befor

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 106: The Pack That Knelt Too Late

    (Daciana POV)The judgment of Lobo rose through the cracked blood stone, and the nursery children heard Blackfang finally naming one of its monsters.Lobo had been called a wolf without honor, yet the sound did not heal the years Blackfang had spent kneeling to cruelty too late.Around me, the rescued children sat beneath Liora’s silver shield, breathing softly as if they feared judgment might become another punishment meant for them.Caelthorn stood at my side, still half-merged, golden eyes fixed upward where Niall’s ring continued calling guilty bloodlines forward.Conri watched me carefully, because he knew kingdoms often became most dangerous after the first villain fell and everyone else tried to look innocent.“They will ask whether one man’s punishment is enough,” he said, his voice low enough not to frighten the children near us.“They will try to make Lobo carry every sin so the pack can avoid carrying its own.”I looked at the children, the cradles, the cracked wolf prisons

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 105: The Alpha Ring’s Final Judgment

    (Niall POV)The cracked Alpha ring burned around my finger, and I knew it was no longer asking me to obey anything.It was asking me to judge.That frightened me more than all the roots, shadows, screams, and old blood in the altar chamber, because judgment sounded like something adults used to hide cruelty.I was only a child.I had been chained beneath the altar, called little Alpha by monsters, and forced to choose between obedience and someone else’s pain.Yet the ring pulsed against my skin like it remembered every Blackfang wolf who had used bloodline as an excuse for hurting the weak.Bardolph knelt beside me, one arm around my shoulders, hollow without Caelthorn but steadier than before because guilt was no longer leading him.“You do not have to become cruel because the ring wants judgment,” he said, and his voice carried a warning made from his own ruined past.I looked at Lobo across the chamber, where he leaned against broken stone with blood on his mouth and hatred still

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 13: The Queen in Servant Brown

    (Daciana POV)The masked man’s words struck the moon cell like a blade thrown into still water, and every hidden truth began moving beneath us.I stared at the golden eye behind his black feather mask, unable to breathe because the color belonged to Bardolph’s bloodline.Bardolph stood outside the

  • The Maid Who Stole My Alpha   Chapter 3: The Night of Betrayal

    (Daciana POV)The warning note trembled in my hands while the alarm bells screamed across Blackfang like wounded beasts calling for death.I read the message again, hoping the words would change, but the ink still promised that Ashina’s second lie would bury me.The locked door stood behind me like

    (Daciana POV)The old servant wing smelled of dust, cold stone, and forgotten tears that had dried long before I was born.The guards did not meet my eyes as they led me down the narrow hallway where broken lamps threw weak shadows across the walls.I had walked through this wing many times as Luna

    (Daciana POV)The first thing I heard that morning was not the sound of birds but the sharp whisper of fear moving through the pack house.I opened my eyes slowly, already feeling that something was wrong, because the air around me felt colder than any winter night.The servants outside my room wer
