She Was The Queen Chapter Eighty-Three
My body had already forgotten its pain. My mind and every part of me felt free and released. The only thing that lingered was that dark omen, heavy on my shoulders and body. My back started to hurt from the weight of it but I was grateful it wasn’t the poison.The door budged again, the wood splintering as it bulged. I should’ve ran away but couldn’t help the strong feeling that I was exactly where I was supposed to be."Hello?" I called.Then everything went still until I heard a scratching sound from behind the door. The door shook hazardously and I jumped back.The silence returned and for a while, I thought I had imagined all the sounds and breaking. I stuck my ear to the door to listen. Something in there was in sync with me. A heartbeat, at the same rate as mine. Our hearts weren’t beating slow, they were steady, fast if anything else. I knocked again and something shifted in there or someone.Why was someone in there? I quickly kicked the door and fell back as pain exploded in

My eyes fluttered open to a warm light. A small sting remained in my head but the rest of my body was fine again. I breathed out in relief as I sat up on the couch and looked out the window into the field. I wasn't having one of those realistic dreams again, was I?I really passed outside, right?"Hello," a deep voice snapped my head in its direction.From the staircase came down a man, tall, dark olive skin and water dripping from his black shoulder-length hair, down to his defined chest. He was built like a god, breathtaking and without imperfection with skin a sculpture made of bronze. He looked like he ate steak and eggs for every meal the way he was so brawny. Around his V line was a towel which revealed his toned calves. I couldn’t stop myself from taking every drop of him like a glass of water on a hot day. His lips were plump with a heavy lower lip.He noticed me analysing his handsome face and smiled. His eyes blinked tiny drops away from his eyelashes and I noticed it. I not

I paced back and forth in the house after I found something to wear.What had happened? How had this happened? How did I let this happen? How did my mother let this happen? Who set him free?"Khai?" Roman called from the kitchen.At once, I approached her and cupped her face in my hands."Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Roman blinked oddly.My foolish rage had consumed me so much that I forgot what was important; Roman. "Yeah, I'm okay, don't worry about me. Are you okay?""Stay away from him, he's dangerous," I warned her.I pushed past her and out to the porch.“You stay outside!” I shouted at his wolf form amid the garden.He was exactly the way I last saw him. Nothing had changed. I went back into the house and Roman was jittery, bouncing between people as she asked her endless questions."Who is he? Is he a really Traga?" she asked.My mother turned from the tap with a kettle full of water. Her lips shut like they were sewn together. "I told you to watch over her and you coul

“It’s automatic,” I said.We sat on the bed next to each other. Her eyes glittered in curiosity, her lips so plump I could kiss her, but it was not the time for such things because we would go all the way. With the wedding only a few days away, the anticipation was basically killing me. She seemed to be growing more beautiful by the day."Wait, is the pain gone?" I asked her and cupped her face.She looked down and bit her lower lip curtly, if I blinked I could've missed it."I don't know... I'm fine now," she said.She sounded confused which I did not understand but I let her be. I took my eyes off her and looked through the open blinds of my window. The summer air was still outside.“The death of an alpha instates a new one automatically. As soon as I watched my father draw his last breath, I became alpha. When things happen as they should and the helm is passed through the ceremony, the transformation from a normal wolf to alpha is gradual and almost painless but when it came on me

She was quiet then. Her tense shoulders dropped and she started rubbing my arm.“I wasn’t planning on keeping him there forever, Roman. Only until we were ready to take him back in.”“You guys were planning on forgiving him?” she asked incredulously.“Yolanda hoped. She always vouched for his redemption, so much so that I almost thought it was possible. I see now that it was the absence, when he was out of sight it was easy to imagine a utopia where we forgive him and we live happily ever after, but seeing him made it clear that will never happen.”I felt him from miles away, that he wasn't trapped. That heavy dark aura he always had since we were kids only tripled in size when he killed my father. I could always feel him, even when he was in the bunker, I just chose to ignore him.Truly, I believed that if we all forgot him or ignored him we would be able to forgive him or just simply forget him. We were forgetting him until Roman arrived and turned everything upside down.Her curiou

Roman and I sat in the bathtub together, her body sitting on mine and I held her close. It was always better to ignore things for a moment before I returned to straighten them out.This was such a big thing, I didn't have the emotion to face it. What would I do with Malcolm? What about this baby thing for the River Crescents? Roman's poison? I just wanted to stay in this moment with Roman.She began laughing."What?" I smiled, assuming it would be just as funny to me."I'm realizing that your parents were last-dayers," she laughed."Last-dayers?"The steam on the mirror and glass surfaces was thinning as the water became colder but our bodies kept the other warm."Wolves who store up things and burrow holes in the ground to stay in when the world explodes."I chuckled."The world explodes? Is that how the world will end in Sun Wolf world?" I laughed."Well, we were told that the stars will fall out of the sky and everything will explode. Makes the whole hoarding and hole digging usele

I kept calling out his name but he never returned. I stepped out of the bathtub and dried myself. By the time I entered the room he was gone.If you’re going to tell someone off you better stand for it. What did he mean I was acting like a bitch? I was dying, how was I supposed to act?I sighed as I lathered my body in lotion.Was he onto something. Was I being ungrateful and self-piteous?I felt doomed and everything didn’t matter. Khai’s prayer had given me hope in a future and the world was bright again but when that fell through, I didn’t know how to act or feel. Any words of encouragement or home were void and I felt nothing most of the time.I wore a flower dress and went downstairs to sit on the porch and watch how the sun set and birth the moon.Maybe it was the baby thing. Maybe it was everything. Azraels, Falcon, poison, River Crescents, Malcolm and his role – it was too much and I was no help in any shape or form. I kept my eyes on the stars to at least lift myself from th

Khai was far away. He was the reason I sat outside. He was out there again, avoiding me and everything.Malcolm entered the house without a worry on his face, certain no one was around to turn him away.He was dressed in hunter-green pants and a grey Jeep shirt. His hair flowed effortlessly around his face, curling slightly at the edges.He was the first to take his seat.“I can’t wait to see what you made. You were always the best cook,” he smiled.Linda… cracked a smile and… rustled his hair. The whole scene struck me and overtook me. Linda was smiling effortlessly, not because of Greg or her sons but someone else. Did she like Malcolm more than Khai? Why did I feel betrayed by this? He did say they were cool. I stood frozen at the door as I watched Malcolm’s excitement and Linda’s… joy?His glee was childlike as he waited to see what Linda might plate before him.“Pot roast! You’re a star!” he said with hands pressed on his cheeks.“It’s your favorite isn’t it,” she smiled.He squee

I reached out for her and she moved her hand away. That's when I knew there was division between us."Do you know what you sound like?" she said as she glared at me.I shrugged helplessly."A colonizer.""Excuse me?" I breathed.I wasn't sure if I heard her right."I should've listened to Malcolm. You've made Malcolm a reliable source. Do you know how insane you need to be to make Malcolm sound reliable?" she shouted.The workers around us watched us and all the harvesting had stopped. Audrey saw the eyes and closed the space between us and lowered her voice."How dare you use Khai's name to justify your schemes," she said through clenched teeth."This is not my scheme Audrey. I don't want this either but Khai said-""How dare you?"Her eyes became glossy and she jabbed a finger in my chest."Doing that will eradicate everything that makes us Traga. You came in here and usurped our leader and now you
She Was The Queen Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Five
Winter covered the garden with its cold whiteness and a few months breezed past. The trees grew bare with leaves and frostbite crept up my fragile human toes.I never had to worry about these things when I spent every day and night as a wolf. My fur always kept me warm but as a human, which I spent most of my time as - I found sickness and shivering to be commonplace.They were generous with the mourning period but time was running out. I couldn't avoid the subject of marriage to Malcolm any longer. Eventually, the elders would end their kind silence and come to the house again.Intimidated and confused, I had said yes to marrying Malcolm under the condition that they would lend me the guard dogs in my fight against the Azraels. They had done that for me.This was against my moral code. Growing up, my father taught me to keep my word but then I felt Khai, heard him in my head and promised him I’d never marry Malcolm and see the plan through - my mor

It became apparent why I was here. Why it was the doorstep of the Tragas I fell upon. It was for this moment right here. Khai and I were nothing but collateral, a means to an end.I was but a small cog in the machine, a pawn in a chess game played by the gods. Traga was willing to sacrifice himself to Yaga so his children would get stronger and live longer. My blood would certainly guarantee that.After Khai left my mind and body I felt lonely. Lonelier than I’d ever been or believed was possible. I sat in the desert crying for what felt like an hour as the black hole in my chest gaped wider.I saw them looking for me in the distance and I ran to hide so I could cry all the cowardice out of me.I couldn’t continue like this anymore. I needed to take the first step. Move out of the passive and into the active.For the first time in a long time, I got on my knees and said a prayer.Give me the strength to see these plans through. Please soften the hearts of Traga Wolves so they may rece

The night went on and I left the crowd to sit alone with my fourth drink. I wanted to cry but my body felt too tired of all the sadness and pain. Also, I was tired of forcing smiles.I walked a mile off and sat on the dirt, gazing up at the moon.I’d never given the moon much thought till I came to Traga. All I cared about before was the sun and now I was of both the sun and the moon.As I stared the moon it began to glow. I kept my gaze fixed on it and I felt my blood rushing through my veins. I stood up to my feet as my heart pounded in my chest.What was happening?It went on for a while until my chest felt warm. Tears brimmed at my eyes as I felt it again. His love. His warmth, his presence glowing from inside of me.It was Khai. How?Roman. Khai?Yes. How? I laughed, a mix of joy and tears.How was this happening. I’d never felt so whole in my life. My

Ginos was a place out of town, randomly in the middle of the dessert like area. It was made of shipping containers huddled into a circle where people could sit and have drinks. They only served barbeque meats and alcohol. The air was heavy with spices, smoke and charred meat which made my mouth salivate.I couldn’t believe the Tragas had finally managed to get me off raw meat. I couldn’t imagine eating it.We joined two tables and sat together, the loudest group in the whole place. Hannah, Falcon, Jacob, Yolanda, Audrey, Malcolm, Linda and apparently Greg was coming. The idea didn’t excite me and I felt that it was disrespectful seeing as Khai was barely gone for a week and she was already going over his head.Khai never wanted Greg around them. He could do nothing about Linda’s love for him but he made it clear he didn’t want him around other wolves.I didn’t have the energy to argue and fight a losing battle. No matter what I said, Linda would justify his presence in her head. And on

The guard dogs ran ahead of me, howling in celebration. I turned my head away from the corpses and tried to convince myself I was walking back from somewhere else. But I couldn’t forget what I did, not while I had his skull in my mouth.The howls filled the air all the way back to Traga land. Outside the house many wolves in their human forms had gathered, ready to receive us. They were so excited to see us, cheering and joyful that the reign of Azraels was finally over. I placed Intiyago’s head in the middle of the garden and everyone erupted in joy.Where was my joy, I wondered. I couldn’t feel a thing.Intiyago haunted me for so long, made my life a living hell and now that I had ended him I felt no joy nor sense of completion. I entered the house and phased into a human in the kitchen.My behavior offset them but they continued to cheer and celebrate outside, hoisting Intiyago’s head and parading around with it. The house was e

The world was red as I backed away, trying to shake the blood off my face. Intiyago walked slowly toward me. Prowling, Ravenous and angry but his eyes – his eyes were sympathetic.Roman, this is not what I want. His voice was soft in my head. He stopped in his tracks, his head lowered down and he licked drops of my blood which had fallen on a rock.No.But it was too late, his pink tongue wiped the rock clean and his eyes surged with a golden glow. A menacing growl ripped out of him.This is what I want!His voice was heavy again, dark and sharp. The sun healed the scratch and I could see properly again. I charged toward him and clawed at his face. Claw after claw I saw blood and more blood until his face was disfigured. He howled and jumped to the side where he rammed me into a tree. The impact almost broke my ribs but I got back up and gave him everything I had. I rammed him into the other tree and bit into his arm so hard I hit his bone.The painful howl he screamed satisfied me i

Malcolm decided to return to the funeral with a busted nose and lips. I waited on the porch for the guard dogs to appear. They said that as soon as Khai was buried we would get to go.Nothing else mattered but my vengeance, nothing at all. There was no after. I couldn’t imagine it and if I died killing all the Azraels I would be satisfied, I would’ve achieved my life’s purpose.A couple of wolves… Ten? No fifteen. Twenty-seven? Thirty! Thirty, to be exact broke out of the forest, ravenous and ready to fight. Traga guard dogs. Slightly bigger than other wolves and their legs showed that they spent their time fighting and running. These were strong wolves. I almost felt pride when I saw them coming in, if no one knew – they would’ve thought they were wild wolves.I got to my feet as family members and other Tragas came back to the house in their human forms. Hannah ran to my side.“You don’t have to do this. You’re the alpha, send them out instead. You stay.”Vomit bubbled in the back o

When we were out of sight he loosened his grip on me. My hand quickly found its way to his and I held it tight. I couldn’t let go of the warmth, even for a second. I still allowed my mind to play tricks on me. If I did not look at him and imagine his voice as Khai’s he would be Khai.“You can’t do that type of stuff. It’s traumatising,” he said.I knew it was wrong. I did not doubt it but I didn’t care.His other free hand ran down his face. He looked tired and sleepless. The bags under his eyes were swollen, and red cracked through the whites of his eyes. Had he not slept? I looked away from him, to the trees and anything else that would allow me to swap him out with who I wanted him to be.“That’s why we have to look at him before they shut the casket. It prevents such things.”Leaves crunched under his boots and my heels. My ankles and toes hurt.It was insane how it hadn’t been a complete year since I met Khai. I met him in winter and lost him before winter. I let go of his hand. H
