Chapter 146 “Crowns”

• The people lined the road in great number as the royal chariots passed, bearing Queen Magdalena, Varkoness Milicent, Princess Emelia, and Lady Lilith. Their wheels rolled solemnly through the heart of the werewolf kingdom, greeted by both praise and scorn.
• Cries rang out among the crowd, a swelling tide of voices. Some hailed the Queen as the Red Beast, throwing leaves in reverence, while others spat upon the disgraced pack leaders as they were paraded through the streets.
• The three former leaders of the werewolf packs were bound in chains, dragged behind by soldiers of their own kind, their dignity stripped and their heads bowed low. Among the retinue were warriors and emissaries from the Lycan kingdom, bearing the emblems of peace hard-won and justice delivered.
