The Alpha Queen and Her Rogue Kingdom

PROLOGUE

When King Colin Vark decided to leave his castle to occupy the palace of his recently defeated enemies, he did so not only for the advantages that a much larger and more prosperous land than his brought, but because he enjoyed thinking about that he was going to be occupying the throne he hated so much for so many years, the throne of which Balder Bloodmoon boasted so much, for he never had any qualms about flaunting his power and wealth to other kingdoms he considered inferior, especially that of his neighbors in the Varkolak kingdom, to whom he liked to rub in as much as he could that their bloodline was not pure like that of the Bloodmoon’s, who were direct descendants from the most powerful Lycan kings in history.

-In the end, his lineage was of little use to him-, Colin Vark thought as he sat on the throne of the Bloodmoon Palace, newly named "Varkolak Palace" and completely forgot about his old castle, which he left abandoned and rotting, but not for a long time, as the warriors who managed to escape the war took refuge in what is now known as the "Rogue Castle" and made this their home, while gathering enough forces to retake their true palace and get rid of the usurpers.

The old throne room that has only been used for meetings of the Red Army, is now clean and illuminated by dozens of torches around it, and in the central part, there is a small platform with a huge throne of gold and precious stones, while people huddle near the walls of the hall, eagerly waiting for the coronation ceremony to begin.

A few minutes later, Arthur Bloodmoon limps in and makes his way to the small dais, looking at everyone with his one remaining eye and making sure no one is doing anything wrong, for over the years he has learned to be much more observant than those who do not lack half their sight, and then the double doors of the throne room open, revealing in it the mythical figure of who will now be their queen.

Elina Bloodmoon enters the room dressed in a black suit with a high neck, like the ones she always wears, because she refuses to let anyone see the mark on her neck, and on her shoulders she has a long red cape, her hair is tied in a high bun and her golden eyes seem as cold as they have always been since she joined the red army, she walks with determination while holding her head high and heading towards the throne arranged especially for her, once she sits there, her uncle pronounces a short speech about family loyalty and the importance of taking back what belongs to them, with blood and death, just as his enemies did in the past, then he takes a golden crown, decorated with Onyx gemstones and lays it on the head of his niece.

"Long live Queen Elina Bloodmoon!" he says in a loud and clear voice, and the audience explodes in cheers and applause, as they repeat the slogan over and over again:

"Long live the Queen!"
