On my eighteenth birthday, my fiancé launched a coup.
My father, the Alpha King of the Kingdom of Wilton, died protecting me, cut down by my fiancé’s gunfire.
With his dying breath, he told me to take care of my only sister.
To keep her from being harmed, I surrendered my royal standing and became my fiancé’s prisoner.
For three full years, I ate kitchen scraps and slept in an abandoned stall at the Royal Equestrian Center.
By day, I worked in the industrial laundry at the royal castle. By night, I was taken to the guard training compound and raped by those men.
With my sister about to turn eighteen, I decided to beg my fiancé to grant her freedom and let her leave the castle.
Instead, I found my father, who was supposed to be dead.
“Your Majesty, Princess Laurel has spent three years living in the stables. I believe she has learned her lesson. Can the punishment end early?”
My father nodded.
“Almost. If Laurel hadn’t been so proud back then—if she hadn’t publicly exposed Evelyn for plagiarism at the Royal Academy literary gala and humiliated her—I wouldn’t have had to stage a coup and punish her by faking my own death.”
“Evelyn is about to turn eighteen. I’ve prepared a private estate for her outside the castle. She’s finally willing to forgive Laurel, too. On her birthday, I’ll reveal the truth, restore Laurel’s royal status, and reinstate her as first heir.”
My fiancé hesitated.
“Hasn’t three years been too long? This is too cruel.”
My father let out a cold snort.
“She was born into the royal family. She must endure cruel trials. I have no son. Laurel is the heir I chose. If she can’t handle this, how is she supposed to rule every pack in the kingdom?”
So the coup had been fake.
The death had been fake.
Only my suffering for the past three years had been real.
But my father had probably never imagined this:
I had survived his trial, but I no longer had the life left to wear the crown he had prepared for me.

I Survived My Father’s Test And Took His Throne Chapter 08 My shoes were left by the river. When my father took them in his hands, he was trembling. “These aren’t Laurel’s, are they? I’ve never seen her wear them.” Evelyn, red-eyed, held him up. “I think those are the shoes
