The palace was already shaking when the roar echoed through its halls.
Not thunder.
Not collapse.
Something older.
Sheryl felt it in her bones before she ever saw Lycara. The ritual pulse throbbed through the stone beneath her boots, each vibration pulling harder at the wolf she was trying to keep caged. Green fire crawled along the walls. The air tasted metallic, divine, wrong.
Then she stepped into the chamber.
Lycara stood at the center of it all, calm and radiant, still wearing Karen’s face like a crown. No guards. No pack. Just a goddess waiting for blood.
The fight came fast. No speeches. No mercy.
Sheryl was thrown across the arena like she weighed nothing. Stone cracked. Breath left her lungs. Lycara’s power wrapped around her throat, lifting her into the air as if gravity itself had surrendered.
And then the moon answered.
Bones broke. Fur tore free. Death Claw rose.
Across from her, Lycara embraced her true form. Armor split. Flesh reshaped. The goddess shed her skin and revealed the monster beneath it. Two queens stood where one world had never been meant to survive.
Their collision shook the palace.
Claws. Teeth. Water. Blood. Stone shattered as the battle spilled into the lake below, dominance traded blow for blow. Lycara began to win—until a roar cut through the night.
A lion’s roar.
Derek arrived.
What followed was not a rescue. It was an execution.
A weakness revealed.
A strike delivered.
A god brought down.
But victory always has a cost.
