I woke up on the third day after the blood share and I felt different again.Seventy five percent bloodline was stable. My muscles were bigger. My chest was wider. My height was now close to eight feet even in human form. The shadow armor Lyra made for me still fit because it grows with bloodline.Lyra was asleep on the throne steps. Her white hair was normal white again, not dim. Her golden eyes were closed but calm. The weakness from giving blood was gone. One day weakness was over. My blood share had healed her fast because throne was also feeding her from black stone.I stood up and looked at black stone circle. Fifty royal guards were sitting in rest, eyes closed, but I could feel their link. Sixty guards total now if we count the ten more we will wake later. For now fifty was enough to take Silver Moon.Rook came into circle carrying a huge black boar on his shoulder. The boar was from deep Forbidden Forest, size of a small car. Enough meat for ten wolves. Its blood still warm.

The morning after the feast, I woke early in the alpha bedroom.For three years I slept on a cold floor in an omega storage room with rats. Now the alpha bedroom had a big bed, fur blankets, fire, and a window looking over the whole Silver Moon valley.Seventy-seven percent bloodline meant I needed less sleep. Two hours was enough.Lyra was already awake, standing by the window in a shadow dress, golden eyes watching the north road."They came early," she said."Who?""Council raven. Black raven with council ring. It arrived five minutes ago. Magnus took it but Rook stopped him."I put on king armor. Shadow armor appeared instantly with thought now. At seventy-seven percent, I could summon it without Lyra help.We walked down to Lycan Court hall.Inside the hall, Rook held a big black raven in a cage made of shadow. Magnus as beta stood in the corner, head low, not allowed to sit yet. Three small pack alphas were there, plus Silver Moon old Beta, plus twenty warriors.Rook opened the

Morning after eighty percent, I woke before sun.The throne beam still pointed north to Ice Fang Mountain. Red gold light went over walls, over forests, to white peaks far away. All packs could see the beam for fifty miles. It told them the Lycan King is coming for the second half.I called Rook and Lyra to the hall."We go north today to get the second half of the throne. Only three of us plus ten royal guards. Silver Moon must stay ready in case council attacks while we are gone."Magnus as beta stood in the corner. He heard."My king, Ice Fang Mountain, is one day running fast. The cave is called Dead King Cave. The council put a big magic rock to seal the cave ten years ago after the fire. No alpha could break the seal. Only eighty percent of you can.""How do you know?""I was there that night. Council killed your father there after the fire. They put his second half throne piece in a cave and sealed it so no one could get it. They feared bloodline return."I nodded. "You stay he

Morning after taking council castle, I woke on Full Bone Throne.Throne sat on council tower balcony. Below, three thousand Blood Moon warriors slept in yard. One hundred royal guards stood watch. Bone dragon Drak slept on castle wall, wings over tower like roof.I was ninety five percent.Lyra woke next to throne, golden eyes looking south."They come," she said."Who?""Other eleven packs. Darius sent ravens last night before he knelt? No, after he knelt he sent ravens saying new king is here. Some packs come to kneel, some come to fight. Look."Far south road, dust clouds. Many.Rook came fast up tower steps."My king, scout from north road: three packs coming to kneel, about one thousand warriors with white flags. From south road: four packs coming to fight, about four thousand warriors with council flags. They still follow old council law, not your law."Four thousand vs three thousand seven hundred fifty we have now plus one hundred guards and dragon is okay, but still big fight
