LOGIN~Karen~That despicable wench!She’d grown wings so much that she even speaks to the king with such insolence. I looked from her to the king, wishing that he could put her in her place. For someone who barely escaped death for the millionth time, she had a lot of guts.“You both may leave now.” The alpha king finally said after what felt like a staring competition between him and Storme.“Does this mean you’ve forgiven me, Your Majesty?” my voice was squeaky, almost too perfect for a repentant sinner.“The queen looks suspicious enough, so I do not blame you for thinking that she had tried to harm me. you were only doing your duty and I commend you for that.”I smiled and turned to Storme. “Do you accept my apology, Your Highness?” Her face was stone blank as she replied. “Keep your half-hearted apology to yourself, Karen. I don’t need it.” She bowed stiffly to the alpha king, “I’ll take my leave now.”My fingers curved into my palm. She was really b
~Storme~“The king wants to get rid of me too?” I asked Grace, moving my body slightly to look at her.I’d always known that the king only got me for his vain desires, but hearing that he wanted to eliminate me too stung a little bit. If say I really was carrying his child, this was the thought that he’d have towards his child’s mother?“Yes, Your Highness. He didn’t say it outrightly, but he looked a little too pleased after you slumped that day. It was like he hoped that the tea was really poisoned, and that it killed you.”How could I be surprised?A murderer would always be a murderer. It’s a pity though that he’d say hello to our ancient ancestors even before I do.“Where’s the king now?”“I hear he’s in the throne room with Karen.” Grace replied.“Help me dress,” I said, pushing myself to the edge of the bed, “I think I have to show myself to the king so he knows that I’m fine now.”Grace moved quickly, helping me dress. Her hands worked fas
~Storme~“Take her to her quarters, now!”“Hold her, do not let her be moved!”“Your Highness, can you hear me?”“Someone fetch the pack doctor! Now!”That was all I could hear as I slipped in and out of consciousness. I could feel strong arms wrapping around my body. they seemed familiar somehow, but my mind was too clouded to recognize the scent that I perceived.I couldn’t understand what was happening. That tea hadn’t been poisoned. It had been utterly safe, so why was my body reacting in this manner?Strong arms jacked me from the floor and I felt myself been lifted to a hard warm body. it felt like whoever it was, was running. I could hear the pants coming from the person. They seemed to be saying some words that I couldn’t understand.My eyes were so heavy that all my trials to pry them open was defeated. None of my body parts could function the way they were supposed to. For the first time in a long while, I was scared. I was scared of what would happen to me. I was scared of
~Karen~“That slimy bitch!”I huffed and puffed as I paced up and down my quarters, trying to get rid of the irritation I felt at Storme’s actions during breakfast.She must think of herself as the next big thing since she’s already carrying the king’s baby. Imagine sending cryptic remarks at me in full view of everyone.“I guess it’s time to cut those wings off,” I scoffed. “It’s time to use what I know to turn the king against her once more.”No matter what happens, she will never be able to escape this one. I’ll see to it that she’s executed, never to return.“Freya!” A small looking timid omega ran in almost immediately. I’d chosen her to be my personal servant after the last one left. She looked like something a little wave of air could blow away, but I saw the determination in her to escape the miserable life that she had, which was what attracted me to her.“My Lady, you called,” she said.“You remember the thing we discussed the other time?”A nod of her head.“Good. It’s tim
~Karen~“Did you consummate the mating bond as required by tradition?”Oh shoot.I should have realized that the question will arise.“Oh, about that…” I chuckled, “As the future queen of the Tribe, I know that duty calls first before anything, and so even though we wanted to be alone all night and day, I had to drag my mate out to respond to the king’s call. That’s why he’s so grumpy this morning.”Theo glanced at me but didn’t say anything. Storme still didn’t look like she was interested in anything that I was saying.“Well, I always knew you would make a great queen. That’s why I hammered on my son to mate you as soon as possible. He’ll be so grateful that I did this for him. isn’t that right, my queen?” the alpha king asked, facing Storme.She nodded briskly. “You’re always right, Your Majesty. That’s why they both look like they got enough sleep.”I couldn’t tell if that was sarcasm or if she was being real. “I hardly got any sleep.” I said immediately.Storme lifted her cup wi
~Karen~I FINALLY HAD THEO’S MARK!I had married the alpha prince. I had been marked. The tribe would wake tomorrow with my scent crawling along its bones. I’d been waiting for this day all my life and now it was finally here. The triumph that I felt couldn’t be compared to anything else in this world.He was finally mine.I turned to him where he sat on the edge of the bed, still in his ceremonial shirt, head bowed as if exhausted.Perfect. He’d be too tired to resist me.“We’re finally here together, baby,” I whispered, trailing a finger over his shirt, “When you marked me at the ceremony, I got so heated up and I couldn’t wait for us to have some privacy.”I placed a leg on his thigh, pulling my dress up a bit to show my thighs. “Do you want to help me undress? That might be fun.”His only response was him slowly pushing my leg away from his body. he still never looked at me.“I’ve never known you as someone shy,” I murmured, my fingers finding his hand. “You can touch me.”When he
