the crest ultimatum

In the Avalyne Empire, there is only one way to achieve greatness: exhibition matches. Those who possess the power to bestow god-given gifts known as Crests stand tall and proud as nobles, supporting their knights who wade into battle for the sake of glory, victory, and honor. Knights and nobles alike study and train at Avalyne Academy to hone their skills and participate in academy-level matches, all while forming lasting bonds to become fully-fledged pairs. Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change. As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience. Chapters update every day!

#AVISO Descrições vívidas de cenas de abuso. Recomenda-se discrição dos leitores. Eles chamam isso de uma honra, mas todos sabem a verdade. Todos os anos, os Licanos escolhem um lobisomem das Alcateias Selvagens para frequentar a Academia Lunar Crest. Um lugar de riqueza, poder e segredos mortais. Um lugar do qual nenhum Feral jamais retornou. Este ano, esse sacrifício é Lorraine Anderson Marcada como a pária da Alcateia PrezaSombria, ela suportou anos de tormento nas mãos daqueles que um dia chamou de família. Espancada, quebrada e traída, ela agora está sendo entregue aos monstros que governam a todos. Os Licanos. Ela sabe o que a aguarda.....a morte. Mas quando ela chega à Academia Lunar Crest, encontra algo ainda pior que a morte. Um jogo. Um onde ela é a jogadora de classificação mais baixa. Um onde a sobrevivência é impossível. E no centro de tudo está ele. O príncipe Lycan. Frio. Implacável. Perigoso. Seus olhos vermelhos parecem seguir cada movimento dela, sua presença uma força constante e sufocante. Ela deveria temê-lo como todos os outros. Ela deveria se encolher sob seu olhar. Mas ela não o faz. Porque por trás de seu exterior aterrorizante, há algo mais. Algo sombrio e possessivo. Algo que faz seu coração bater de uma maneira que nunca deveria. Em um mundo onde a força é tudo e a fraqueza significa morte, Lorraine tem apenas uma escolha.... lutar. Mesmo que isso signifique desafiar os próprios monstros que querem destruí-la. Mesmo que isso signifique se tornar algo muito mais aterrorizante do que qualquer um jamais esperou. Porque uma coisa é certa… Ela não morrerá em silêncio.

#WARNING Vivid descriptions of abuse scenes. Readers discretion is advised. They call it an honor, but everyone knows the truth. Every year, the Lycans choose one werewolf from the Feral Packs to attend Lunar Crest Academy. A place of wealth, power, and deadly secrets. A place no Feral has ever returned from. This year, that sacrifice is Lorraine Anderson Branded as the outcast of the ShadowFang Pack, she has endured years of torment at the hands of those who once called her family. Beaten, broken, and betrayed, she is now being handed over to the monsters that rule them all. The Lycans. She knows what awaits her.....death. But when she arrives at Lunar Crest Academy, she finds something even worse than death. A game. One where she is the lowest-ranked player. One where survival is impossible. And at the center of it all stands him. The Lycan prince. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. His red eyes seem to follow her every move, his presence a constant, suffocating force. She should fear him like everyone else. She should cower under his gaze. But she doesn’t. Because beneath his terrifying exterior, there’s something else. Something dark and possessive. Something that makes her heart pound in a way it never should. In a world where strength is everything and weakness means death, Lorraine has only one choice.... to fight. Even if it means challenging the very monsters that want to destroy her. Even if it means becoming something far more terrifying than anyone ever expected. Because one thing is certain… She will not die quietly.
