The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Draven’s Rage

[Third Person].

A broken sound escaped Reginald after regaining himself for a bit.

It started low, almost disbelieving, before rising into something raw and unrestrained. He staggered forward, his hands trembling as he looked into the coffin once again.

"My daughter..." his voice cracked. "Who did this... who did this to my daughter?!" The words tore out of him.

For the first time, the man who had always stood firm and unyielding shattered completely. He fell to his knees beside the coffin, his grief spilling out without restraint.

"I gave you everything..." he choked. "Who dared—who dared do this to you?!"

Behind him, Levi remained frozen. His gaze remained fixed on Wanda’s body, but his expression had shifted. The shock was still there, but something else had begun to surface beneath it.

His hand clenched slowly at his side, then his voice came out tight. "Who brought this here?"

The guards hesitated, and his eyes snapped toward them. "Answer me!"

One of them stepped forward, bowing his head. "Sir... it was delivered from the palace." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Levi’s brows drew together. "The palace?"

The guard swallowed. "They said... Her Majesty ordered it."

Silence fell as Reginald’s crying stopped abruptly.

"Are you sure of what you just said?" Levi’s eyes widened slightly. "Are you aware of the consequences of accusing the crown?"

The guard dropped to one knee. "I swear it by the Moon Goddess. That is what we were told."

For a moment, nothing happened as everyone took in the shocking revelation. Then Reginald let out a harsh, broken laugh that twisted quickly into rage.

"The King rewards my daughter..." he said hoarsely, pushing himself to his feet. "And in the same night, the Queen has her butchered?"

His voice rose, shaking with fury. "What sort of abomination is this?!" His eyes burned as he pointed toward the coffin.

"What did my daughter do to deserve this?!" he roared. "Not only kill her, but leave her like this? Not even a whole body—!"

His voice broke again as grief overtook him, but this time it was drowned in anger. "That woman..." he spat. "That witch—!"

"Father," Levi cut in sharply. "Be careful."

Reginald turned on him, eyes blazing. "You dare caution me now?!" he snapped. "After what she has done?!"

Levi’s jaw tightened. "Speaking against the Queen like this is treason."

"I don’t care!" Reginald roared. The words echoed across the courtyard. "I want justice!" he shouted. "She will answer to me for this! Let all of Stormveil bear witness!"

Levi took a step forward. "Father—"

But Reginald had already turned to the guards. "Quick. Spread the word," he commanded, his voice filled with cold fury. "Tell them all—after the King rewarded my daughter at the banquet, the Queen killed her out of jealousy."

His eyes darkened further. "And she didn’t even leave her a whole corpse."

The guards hesitated.

"Go!" Reginald bellowed.

They moved.

"Father, stop this—" Levi reached for him, but Reginald shoved his hand away.

"Do not stand in my way," he warned. "If you will not fight for your sister, then stay out of this."

Levi’s expression hardened, but he said nothing. Then, Reginald turned back toward the coffin, his chest rising and falling heavily.

"I will not bury her," he declared. "Not until the King gives me justice." His voice dropped, but the hatred in it only deepened.
