Xim is so conflicted in his heart. I feel for him. Will Xim accept his fate with Kimarhi and Lorcan? Or will he reject them for his heart's desire, Imagyn?
Anya - Evening on Day One of the Summit The summit has me busy in the kitchen tonight. Everyone wants seconds of our banquet. Lost in my thoughts of food, the service door opens, making me smile. But it’s not Kimarhi like usual. However, it is another member of my family. “Anya, My Old Friend!” Alpha Morgan says with a broad smile, entering my kitchen with confidence. “Morgan, who are you calling old? I can still make a belt out of you,” I threaten, feigning anger and offering him a smirk. “Still as feisty as ever, I see,” he says, leaning to peck my cheek. The warmth from his touch calms me, and I forget about his loving insult. “Always! Now what can I do for you, Alpha?” I ask while a staff member comes over for approval of her dish. It tasted perfect, and I dismissed her with a nod. “I believe we should speak privately, My Friend. I feel this to be urgent,” he says, all giddy, but that isn’t anything new. When it comes to Morgan, everything is important. I bet he needs more w
As my grandmother called us, we are The Guardians—the descendants of Queen Emera and her fated mates. The story of her court has been lost over the years. Some still believe, and others think it’s a legend or myth. The thought of a chimera shifter living again is awe-inspiring. My grandmother told me stories about the Chimera Queen being the perfect form of her fated mates. Her dreams were full of images of the past, and she was given the Prophecy. Not it’s my job to help Kimarhi fulfill her destiny and bloom. To become a Chimera Shifter. The humans have a similar story but get it wrong like most. For them, the Chimera is a monster with two or three heads and a malformed body. Our Kimarhi will be so much more than that. She can shift into any form, see through her mate’s eyes, and fight with them. Because of this, we have worked tirelessly to be the accurate record keepers. All the clans keep a census, and we save a copy of all records and the Prophecy under lock and key. We have tr
Kimarhi - Late Evening of Summit Day One I wipe away Xim’s stray tears. He’s about to explain his sadness when Lorcan enters the room. The scent that surrounds me is delectable, making my heart race. The rain and heavy earth mixed with musk and the woods send my senses into overdrive. Lorcan seductively asks if Xim is my new toy, and I smirk. It would be easier that way, like with Magnus. But will My King accept this new fated bond? He is smiling, but does he sense what I am doing? Lorcan closes the gap between us, his eyes darkening. Xim stood up defensively, and they lunged at each other. They both growl possessively, looking at me, while Lorcan restrains Xim. Standing, I force my way between them quickly with my hands outstretched to their chest. Lorcan’s solid frame is lowly growling, and Xim’s still body is hissing. “Stop!” I can feel the sparks from both hit my chest again. They are mine. There is no doubt. “My Fated, My Home,” I pull them closer. Their scents wash over me,
"We don’t have to go to bed, My Queen. Here is fine,” his lustful tone says he isn't waiting. "My Alpha. May I watch?" Xim asks, and his voice breaks the tension. His statement sets me on fire as his eyes lock on us excitedly. With that look, Lorcan forcefully opens my robe, exposing my breast. Not shy about it, I let him fondle me before Xim. Moaning from the sparks, I reply for Lorcan. “I think that’s a yes, you can watch,” I giggle, and Lorcan squeezes my breast harder, scratching at my skin. “Definitely a yes,” I growl this time. “Help your mistress to stand,” Lorcan demands after kissing my lips with such need. Xim sits up and takes my hand, lifting me to my feet. His face is perfectly placed at my pelvis, only the thin silk separating us from actual contact. But his warm hiss can be felt against my pulsing lower lips. The sensation is so inviting that I shimmy ever so slightly to tempt him, but Xim only blushes. Lorcan pulls my robe off my shoulders, letting it fall to the
Lorcan - Summit Day Two - Lion Island Waking up in a sleeping pile cradling into Kimarhi is a delight—my welcome home was unique and unexpected. My Queen and I are destined to be with another mate. I have never heard of such unions, but I only assume this is meant to be. Besides, who am I to deny my destiny? I know of a she-wolf who wanted pups but not a chosen mate. She has two from different men. Everyone is fine with the arrangement, and her children want for nothing. The she-wolf is even a high-ranked warrior, and her children are very skilled defenders. I assume she chose her partners with that in mind. I can only think fate knows what it’s doing for Kimarhi. Regardless of stories or rumors, my Queen and I have another, and I will not deny it. Those sensational sparks are present with Xim. I had never been attracted to a man, but this was different. He fuels my desire for Kimarhi, much like Magnus did. Watching her with someone in any fashion makes me work harder for her plea
“My Queen, the Chef has prepared a lovely breakfast buffet for you and the King,” Rieka’s voice chimes in, presenting the food and saving me a stammered response. Kimarhi’s eyes move to Rieka, still presenting her with a smile, “It's nice of Anya, always sending my favorites, but whom might this green-eyed beauty be?” “I’m sorry, My Love. This is Lady Rieka. Your new handmaiden, a gift from my Mother," I say with pride. “Well, I wasn’t expecting that, but Hello, Rieka. Lovely to meet you," Kimarhi greets her with a nod. “Thank you, my Queen, it's an honor," Reika curtsies again. “So formal. But I see you already know the way to my heart. With food!” They giggle at each other, and Rieka starts her task of serving each of us. “My current maiden announced she is expecting. I’m sure she would help you to settle before taking her sabbatical. I already gave her this Summit off after day one. We will have to ask her later.” “That sounds delightful. Thank you, my Queen,” Rieka says as s
To my Lovely readers, I hope you've been enjoying Fated to the Queen. I love bringing these characters to life for you, and I know you will enjoy the twists and turns I have planned. Writing has been an excellent outlet, and I'm glad to get some exposure here. You are all wonderful to give my book your attention, and I appreciate your support. I hope you noticed the author's note if you read the last two episodes, 16.1 & 16.2. If not, here's a more in-depth note. On Friday, 6/23/23, I encountered a problem. Sadly my Word doc was corrupted somehow, and I only have my G****e rough draft outlines for the following eight chapters of my book. I have been working day and night to fix this issue for days but making little progress. I could only put out one chapter so far, and you just read it. I am heartbroken as an author, taking it one step at a time as it's all I can do. It is hard to stay positive when over ten-thousand words are erased in one file. I hope you are patient with me
*UPDATE 7/2/23* Hello, My Lovely Readers, I'M BACK WITH AN UPDATE FOR FATED TO THE QUEEN, AND I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. I endeavor to release an episode a day going forward, but life happens. I am trying to ensure the story is close to what I had before. But during this editing process, things are changing and evolving as I go making it a new adventure for me too. Please know I appreciate your continued patience with me in this matter. I strive to bring you a polished story, and this setback has pushed me even more in that regard. I Promise Queen Kimarhi and her fated will return, and when that happens, you will get to meet Imagyn. Until the next episode, if you are interested, try my other GoodNovel. It's a dark romance that turns sweet, with the female lead experiencing character growth and sexual discovery. Anything for Lola, also by Demona Maxwell Lola Angelos is a simple waitress with aspirations of being a chef. However, tuition debt puts those dreams on hold. She should take
I thank you all for your time and love of my work. You have no idea what it means to me. All I have ever wanted to do is write and get my novels out there, and with determination, I have done that. It's been a long road to publishing, and some places work better than others. Unfortunately, I'm leaving GoodNovel to continue my stories elsewhere. Hopefully, they will go to print in 2024. I'm unsure when my account will be removed here, but I am still available on Re.am Sto.ries and Dre.ame under Demona Maxwell. You can also follow me on Fa.ce.Book for more information. Thank you again, and much love, Demona Maxwell.
Imagyn holds the back of my head like it’s fragile. She softly hums, running her fingers through my hair. Her touch is soothing, and she is too kind to me. “My loving Wolf, it just tickles,” she says sweetly, “and it feels much better now. Thank you, Lorcan.” My heart flutters as she says my name. I kiss her thighs again, and the bruises lighten. I continue to touch her skin, and they are barely visible anymore. I’m amazed by this mate bond and her healing. “My Serpent,” she calls over her shoulder. Xim comes up behind her, kissing her with care. I am in awe of them both. “My Alpha, stand up!” he says, not looking at me but at Imagyn. I do so in a hurry not to anger him more. I am met by their longing but firm gazes. I could smell Imagyn clearly, but Xim’s scent was still faint. “NEVER, again, will you bruise her skin!” He bellows, making me bow my head. His tone is like a command, making me proud. “No, My Alpha, never again,” I say with all the love in my heart, “I Promise!” “
Lorcan My purring lioness knew what I needed at that moment, and I loved her so much for it. The sexual tension has been thick since meeting Imagyn. We said we would wait. One day doesn’t seem like a lot, but being fated comes with increased libido. Plus, today was different. I needed what was mine. Kimarhi lays exhausted on the table, breathing heavily and twitching. I remove myself gently and raise my pants. I looked around for something to clean her, catching sight of a serving tray and grabbing the tea towel around the handle. I press it lightly to her core, making her moan, letting it soak up our mess. She has a blissful look on her face, radiating beauty. After cleaning her, I again dipped between her legs. I kiss her thighs and core, apologizing for my rough handling. She moans with arousal and pushes herself into me reflexively. “My Queen, do you want more?” I kiss her again. She flips over and looks satisfied as she pulls me up to her face and kisses me. “I am pleasantl
Xim The issue in the arena baffles me as we head to see Sir Tavers. Imagyn grips me the whole way. She’s tense as we feel the irritation swimming from Lorcan and Kimarhi. I have never seen them this angry before, and it worries me. Upon arriving at Pride Council, there is a pliable silence as we wait. When I heard Kimarhi’s voice in my head for the first time. I shivered from head to toe; it was so lovely. Her sweet words make me realize I haven’t had anyone in my head in a while, not even Imagyn. I respond in kind, letting her know I Love her despite the tension. Imagyn looks eager to help, so I release her. She escorts Lorcan to us. He has a sneer that can only be described as pissed off. But our Luna guides him skillfully. ‘My Serpent, will you massage his shoulders,’ Imagyn asks through the link. ‘Yes, My love, anything for our King,’ and end the link. Helping Lorcan relax makes me feel strong and confident. He leans into my touch as Imagyn hums. She’s soothing him well that
I have no words while we walk through the village to the clan house. The land is beautifully decorated, but my mood sees it as dull and drab. How could this day of joy turn sour so quickly? I can feel Lorcan’s fury waving from my side. I reach out to him, realizing I’m not holding his hand. Xim and Imagyn are close behind, arms around each other in a cuddling walk. At least they aren’t too upset. We enter the pride council room, where Tavers waits in his usual chair. He looks concerned, “My Queen and My King, I’m sorry that this situation has befallen our clan on a wonderful day. I’m ashamed of Dorian’s actions,” he says sincerely with a bow. Saying his name makes Lorcan strain against me towards Tavers. I push back gently and shake my head at him. ‘It’s ok, my love,’ remembering I can pride link them now, I reach out to Imagyn and Xim. ‘My Loves, will you help me calm Lorcan? I fear my touch is not helping, as I am too angry.’ When I focus again, I see Imagyn approaching Lorcan, t
Kimarhi - Day Three of The Summit I wake up to the most wonderful scent of sweet air, rain, and thick musk. Within this bed lay the three most beautiful creatures I have ever met. I can’t help but stare at them lying next to me. Lorcan, my bold King, handsome and forceful. Xim, my soothing snake, is adorably shy—and Imagyn, my Luna and beautiful bird, sweetly innocent and magical. Unable to contain my joy, I wake them each with a kiss. “Good morning, my loves,” I say, kissing each of them. “That was the best sleep I have ever had,” Imagyn hums. After eating a quick breakfast in bed, we all rise to greet our guards. Magnus and Rieka joined us this morning and met Imagyn and Xim. They hit it off, and Rieka helped us dress for the day. “The ceremony will be starting soon. Is everyone ready?” I asked nervously while surveying the room. My gorgeous mates look good enough to eat. Lorcan is dressed in a suit, much like yesterday. It matches the colors I’m wearing perfectly—a deep orang
The Watcher - Evening of Summit Day Two I couldn’t follow my Queen today, having my own issues to deal with. I have had enough of all the praise the people have given since the battle. A few like-minded thinkers may be able to sate my anger. My evening stroll brings me back to another shoreside gathering. I join the campfire. My last visit was tense, and I noticed a significant change in the atmosphere tonight. “Can you believe he did that?” a young Lion warrior says in awe, “Right in the middle of battle? Shifting between each kill to bark commands.” “Yeah, that was different and quite brave for our King,” an older man chuckles. “The Queen even relayed through the link to reinforce his decisions,” This warrior has his arm in a sling. As I look around, I notice a few of them with treated injuries. To my surprise, one of my potential recruits jumps up with an enthusiastic smile, “Did you see when he slashed that one Wolf almost in two?” he mimics the motions from the battle scene.
Anya - Evening of Summit Day Two “I do hope Imagyn will be all right,” Morgan says, biting his fingernail. “He’s been repeating himself since it happened,” I point out. Tavers’ usual calm demeanor is also slipping. He’s on his third cup of tea as he paces Pride Council. I can see he is deep in thought as he strides. Morgan mumbles again, and I lightly touch his hand to try and calm him. “I’m sure she was simply overwhelmed by everything, Morgan,” I assure him, “None of this is your fault. You did nothing wrong.” “There is no mistaking it is meant to be,” Tavers says over me. He pauses for a moment. As it looks like he will finally sit, he turns away from the chair and moves again. I want to bake something to assail my nerves. “Imyagyn is Kimarhi’s third,” Tavers proclaims, “We have to talk with them.” “And we will, but not yet,” I shake my head, “Give them some time to process all of this.” Morgan slumps his posture more. “You must calm down, you old fool,” I pat his back. “I
Xim “Let me keep you warm, my love,” I took her in my arms. It’s surreal that she is finally mine. Holding Imagyn on the bed, I rub her drying the water, speckling her body. She swoons at my touch and leans into me. The flower petals in her wet hair smell divine, picking up her scent and Kimarhi’s. I’m overwhelmed by her being so close. Her exposed shoulders tempt me to lean forward and pepper them with light kisses. She moans in delight, and I watch a wave of bumps spread across her freckled skin. In the past, I could never make the first move with Imagyn. Not once did I push or tell her how I felt. I always allowed her to lead, but now everything has changed. These sensational sparks, I feel with her, are driving me to do more. All I want to do is touch her. For months I dreamt of this. Her arms wrap around my neck. I don’t fight as she lures me in. I stare deep into her eyes and fall head over heels for her again. “My I’ma. I love you so much!” I have no idea how I could ever
