Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 07. Raven
Queen Luna Aakifahlynn Mathiasen scanned her memories. She remembered developing a tactical plan that ended this war before it even began, and this was a constant wrangle.Some group or the other was continually rising up to overthrow the Monarch. She never understood why they would not quit.Aakifahlynn abruptly rose from the head chair, scrapping noisily on the concrete flooring, and she leaned forward, resting her knuckles on the table, feeling slightly off-balance."Please, pardon me. It seems I am not well. Do carry on with this meeting." Her eyes slid to each of their faces, ensuring they grasped."It is imperative that we secure our borders and stop these snakes." With that, she nodded and was about to head out of the room to gather herself when Duke Chapman said, "You should see the healer."She nodded again and quickly exited the meeting room. Aakifahlynn shut the door behind her and leaned on it.Her head resting on the door, she looked up to the ceiling as if searching for

The council comprised two Elders, two Dukes, two Marquesses, two Earls, two Viscounts, two Barons, and two Lords. Each ranked level had two species representing, never of the same kind, except for the Elders. So, on each level, it was either a Daimph, a Vampyre, or a Werewolf. The Ayacques were never a part of the council because they had not surrendered to the throne. They were from the south. The betrayers were the two Elders. Both elders were Werewolves, for apparent reasons keeping only the history of the werewolf relevant and alive. One Duke, another Werewolf, a Marquess, and a Lord are Vampyres. Aakifahlynn scoffed as she recalled Duke Mark Chapman's words. He dared to act concerned for her well-being when he was front and center... Well, more like front and off to the side, but still, he supported her husband during her death. Aakifahlynn felt a wave of anger rising in the pit of her stomach, causing her to see red at her demise. And a deep-seething hatred for those that

Aakifahlynn stared wide-eyed and unblinking because it was at this moment she learned that Jairus and Taisiya were not something that had happened recently because of her ailments, as she had initially thought. This has been going on since Taisiya returned a few months ago in this Timeline. And in her past Timeline, they would have been together for three years and counting. Aakifahlynn swore her heart skipped a bit, and at this moment, she was thankful she had decided to use her magic to calm her nerves and steady her emotions. She would have definitely gotten caught if she had not taken this precaution. Aakifahlynn also acknowledged she needed to rely on her wolf and magic to survive in this castle. Just to be able to be around them and not give herself away, she needed the reinforcement; she would not dare fool herself into thinking she could do this without help. Jairus's eyes dimmed, eyebrows pinched as if something suddenly disturbed him. He pulled away from caressing her f

Unable to continue watching how the duo fawns over each other while her husband caresses Taisiya's stomach, eyes shining with love and adoration, making Aakifahlynn sick to her stomach. She'd seen and heard enough. Her heart ached at the sight. Aakifahlynn called on her magic, removed herself from her husband's study, and landed by the treeline before the forest outside the castle gates. However, the lands of this Kingdom extend for miles on end. The sun was gone entirely, and now the beautiful half-full moon would rule the sky for the next ten hours or so. Aakifahlynn turned and watched the tall, mighty walls of the castle. She glanced around for any movements. The villagers were out and about having a merry time doing one thing or the other. Warriors were on their usual patrols, ensuring the grounds and walls were safe, while some were sparring and training. All oblivious to her torment and struggles. At night the castle grounds were not typically busy, but at this moment,

Aakifahlynn lay on the bank and hugged herself, a go-to move on her part now that it helps her with her coping. By the night's end, she had wailed freely and cried for hours on end, becoming a snotty nose mess. Every time she got lost in her mind and grief, her body automatically reacted to comfort herself at that critical moment. "I fed you a poison that weakened your wolf." "And when you continue to strain your body using magic, it did the rest of the work for me..." Aakifahlyn gagged at the memory of him kissing her cheek again, so tender and endearing. The more Aakifahlynn ventured down memory lane, the further down the rabbit hole she went in her grief. "I must thank you for that," She scowls at his smug face, tears streaming down her face. She angrily grabbed up a mixture of dirt, pebbles, and rocks and launched it aggressively as if trying to hit HIM. "You can never be her," he had said. "You A$$HOLE, I never WANTED to be HERRR, NEVEEERRRRRRRR," Aakifahlynn screamed at t

Nadie had always taken her time to ensure she did everything flawlessly for her Queen and Luna. Finally, Nadie finished on the balcony, "Anything you need before I fetch hot water to prepare your bath, Your Majesty?" Nadie asked, heading out the door to get started on her next task. "Oh, no, no, that's fine, Nadie," Aakifahlynn waved her off. The sooner Nadie left, the sooner Aakifahlynn could adorn her night dress, the one she was 'supposed to be in,' and rush straight to her breakfast. "Ok, I will be right back," Nadie bowed, gently closed the door behind her, and scurried out. Aakifahlynn listened for the sound of her feet receding, then, when convinced, Nadie was gone. She quickly pulled off her sheets and rushed to her closet, grabbing a nightshirt, almost tripping over the clothes she had sent via magic last night. Aakifahlynn righted herself and quickly dressed. When Aakifahlynn finished, she heaved a sigh of relief and was about to stroll out to the balcony when she reme

Queen Luna Aakifahlynn dressed for her day in another casual dress, slightly above her ankles. It was a dark blue, cinched at the waist, her corset, trousers, and boots with a hat and dark blue gloves.She emerged from her room, but her husband was not there. She'd heard him leave while she was still in the bath. This is where things start getting thrown off, as this time, they would still have been in bed, finally making it out before midday to begin their day and attend to their duties.So as for where he went, Aakifahlynn did not know. Nevertheless, she placed that thought in the backseat for now.Her first stop was the library. Aakifahlynn quickly made her way there, her boots thudding down the concrete corridor as she moved through the castle, twisting, turning corners, and climbing stairs to get to the library. To her aggravation, as she rounded the last corner, Aakifahlynn ran into Elder Raul Zev.She held her twitching lips, wanting to scowl, but she had to be calm. This serp

Aakifahlynn found a couple more books containing valuable information, books with sketches of positions, and one thing in all these sketches: everyone was without clothes.'How scandalous,' Aakifahlynn thought, while her cheeks tinted red in embarrassment as if someone had caught her in the act of doing something wrong.Aakifahlynn realized how deep the waters were, the very waters she decided to dip her toe in. 'What about their underdress? Or their nightshirt, for Goddess's sake?'She mumbled to herself, her tone terrified, shocked with a hint of surprise.And now Aakifahlynn was outraged, and yet she was intrigued, her interest piqued. Boy, was she clueless?Nevertheless, it did open her eyes to how much she did not know about the pleasures of men.It only showed her how much she needed to learn. If she were to pull this off successfully and yield any type of results, or else she would have done nothing more than embarrass herself in front of her husband, or he might simply see it

Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 61. Kill on-site
A week later, Jairus's mind was a battlefield of questions and uncertainties, each one adding to the mounting tension...His Kingdom's council leadership was falling apart, and there was no Aakifahlynn to lean on. No Aakifahlynn was present to bring reason and order amongst them.But Goddess darn it, how dare she reject him? She was HIS to use until he saw fit to get rid of her. Her rejection was a blow to his power and control, stirring up a mix of anger and bruised ego.She should be here until all their plans, including protecting the Kingdom and giving birth to his twins, have materialized. Aakifahlynn's unique abilities and leadership were crucial for the successful execution of these plans. Did she discover that he just needed her for her Magic to continue protecting the Kingdom while Taisiya saved her energy as she carriedhis twins? Did she discover that was the only reason he had her around for now? Taisiya needed her strength for his kids; that was enough on her plate.
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 60. A Black Mist
Aakifahlynn stirred awake, taking a few seconds to get caught up. She was resting but had no recollection of getting to her room, let alone her bed.She surmised Demarion, the disgraced Emperor who had brought her here after the hospital. Gosh, the hospital, Aakifahlynn, hoped everyone had fully recovered.She stretched and sat up, wondering what time of day it was and how long she had been out. Her pretty blue eyes slid to the large clock on the wall.Long and short, hands were on twelve, and by the light shining in from outside, Aakifahlynn knew it had to be 12 noon.She sighed. A day had passed, and she knew it. Aakifahlynn recalled it being midday when she was at the hospital. Nevertheless, she felt good but comprehended she needed to run.Thinking of her next move, sadness, and loneliness engulfed Aakifahlynn, and she took a moment to wallow, falling back on the pillow.It dawned heavily on her that she was entirely ALONE with no one to trust.And who she could trust, she wanted
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 59. Patient Zero
First, on the agenda, Aakifahlynn visited Pauline, and Pauline accompanied her to the hospital, which was almost overflowing with people suffering from the same ailment as Pauline's daughter.This hospital was more significant than the one in the Kingdom of Tamman. Aakifahlynn walked side by side with Pauline as she observed her surroundings.It was her first time here, and she still compared the Empire to the Kingdom. Little did Aakifahlynn know that this was not her first time here. Maybe in this timeline, it is her first time…The hospital smelt of bleach and some other types of robust chemicals. Aakifahlynn saw medical equipment and instruments in the Gazini Empire that they did not have in the Kingdom of Tamman either, and here she thought the crown had the latest and best in everything.It is a vast building with three floors, beds running the length of opposite walls, and no privacy.The second floor housed rooms where they perform surgeries; the third was for children.Upon e
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 58. The Capital
Suddenly, the clouds grumbled in anger. Darkness filled the atmosphere. Demarion had swooped in, ripped the Duke away from Aakifahlynn, and pelted him across the lot. He then disappeared and reappeared in front of the Duke across the lot, picked him up, and held him steady. At the same time, he shoved his sharp, elongated, claw-like hands into the Duke's chest and tore out his heart.Demarion moved with the speed of lightning; he did all this before Aakifahlynn could utter her next line of seduction or make another sound of pleasure or before the Duke could even process what was happening.Demarion squeezed the Duke's heart and crushed it; only tissue and clumps of clot-like blood caressed the dirt floor.Demarion was not about to watch her flirt and seduce this man. Goddess, how far was she willing to go? Goddess, damn it, he could not bare the thought.So yes, he did it. He killed him for touching his Empress.Aakifahlynn was shocked and then looked disappointed only because she wa
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 57. Coolness of the Night
Aakifahlynn ordered a drink and looked around. The place was at its usual pace. A few businessmen were here and there, and a few couples were having dinner. A band playing music to the left. The waiter returned with her scotch on the rocks. Aakifahlynn thanked him and continued her assessment of the Tavern. The decor was one of class and an ambiance of romance.An establishment like this is frequented by those considered high society citizens. Aakifahlynn soon realized the waiter was still staring at her, "Is something the matter?"Now that he had been caught staring, the now uncomfortable waiter said very awkwardly, "Please, forgive me, my lady...it's just that you are so beautiful."She was dressed as Adeline, but this was not the shy and meek Adeline. This Adeline also allowed herself to take a page from Taisiya's looks for the occasion of seduction before revenge or murder. Call it what you want, she thought with a devilish smile.And thanks to Roslyn's teachings, Aakifahlynn was
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 56. They Know
"And don't you worry about me. I will be fine." Aakifahlynn paused momentarily and added, "I would like to visit the hospital," Aakifahlynn then regarded Pauline.She needed a guide to the hospital. "Can you take me there tomorrow?" Aakifahlynn asked politely, not wasting another minute.Pauline instantly let go of her daughter, dropped to her knees, bowed, and declared, "Anything you need, Queen Luna."Her Empress just saved her daughter's life on top of everything else. Of course, she would accompany her to the hospital.Pauline had told Aakifahlynn that Paula was not the only case, and Aakifahlynn decided then and there to find a way to help the Empire—only in an attempt to even the offer.Aakifahlynn was no fool; she knew what was promised was too good to be true, primarily because of what they wanted in return.Although she had accepted, that did not mean she was happy about feeling indebted to these people."Thank you, Pauline. Please keep this between us. I shall see you on the
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 55. Something was amiss
Aakifahlynn took the time to go through her list and grab each item off of it. Soon, she handed the sweet old lady named Ann a few gold coins for her purchases and then left.And lovely Ann could not stop giving her thanks. Before returning, Aakifahlynn wanted to pop into the bakery for some sweet cakes.She enjoyed them to the moon and back.On entering, she saw the lovely young woman she had met the last time. However, she looked distressed and a bit gloomy."Good evening, Dear." Aakifahlynn greeted gently and quickly glanced around for the sweet, active, and friendly redhead little girl seen at the bakery. She had warmed Aakifahkynn's heart on her last visit, but when Aakifahkynn did not see the sweet girl, Aakifahlynn's chest tightened.Pauline answered, but her voice was hoarse, almost a whisper: "Good evening, Queen Luna…how may I assist you this afternoon?""Pauline, where is Paula?" Aakifahlynn's intuitions told her something was off about this woman today.She did not know
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 54. Three days later
While Aakifahlynn settled in comfortably, her mind trickled to Jairus, and she debated again: Why did this happen? Why did he treat her this badly when he was made to love her? What did she do that deserved this? How could someone be so cruel and evil? Wicked even.Aakifahlynn knew she was not perfect. She'd done things in the name of protecting her Kingdom, but what happened to her in her past timeline was unjust.Aakifahlynn remembered begging Jairus to let her leave as she was unfit and unworthy of leading; she could no longer be helpful in the way she wanted to be and would only bring him down with her."The people need a strong leader, my love," she had urged. "You can't afford to have them see you as the weak Alpha King." Aakifahlynn pleaded."My name is feared in all the lands." Jairus roared."No one would dare challenge me." he pointed at himself, pushing into his chest, his features a dangerous snare."And what I say goes, I make the laws, and this, Aakifahlynn, is not happe
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 53. His Allures
"So, sweetheart, what are you planning on doing?" Aakifahlynn's mother, Arwen, broke the awkward and nervous laughter between the three. As far as Aakifahlynn's parents were concerned, they were already living a retired life, their finances were pretty good, and they could support their daughter until she got on her feet again. Meanwhile, Demarion simply stared daggers at Aakifahlynn. He would provide for her; she would want for nothing, but how could he tell her that right now? He flipped his fork between his fingers a few times as he contemplated. He'd already decided to allow this. Besides, half the Stygian is hers.Every time this happens, it is a new idea because she always starts off with a plan that includes a means of survival.These stalls were always left in the care of large, generational families, who would survive the test of time, honoring the contract she would set with strict instructions to be passed down from generation to generation.And if offered up to be run b
