She Was The Queen Chapter Eight
I woke up on a bed. The room was strange and blurry in my eyes. The walls were grey with black accents. The air was dense around me. I felt complete. No pain, I was just okay.Numb, but not completely. A soft moan came from my side and I turned to shrug out of his grip. I had not noticed his arm around my waist.His eyes fluttered open with a scowl. His blue eyes sparkled in the dim morning sunlight, beaming through silver blinds."Roman," he spoke with a hoarse voice.I jumped to my feet on the bed."What's wrong?" he asked.Couldn't he see everything wrong with this?"We slept together. You touched me! I told you I was to be a priestess. I opened up to you!" I shouted and kicked his chest.My legs were stronger today. He rubbed his naked rigid chest at me and smirked. I kicked him again.This was funny?"How could you violate me like this?"Spending a night in his bed wasn't good for a first impression. Was this how city wolves lived? Immoral and untamed. Uncultured. Untraditional?

Roman shone like a star that emitted rays of majesty. Her gilded brown fur reflected the Sun before it hid behind the clouds. Her glowing eyes went back to normal as she looked at me in her never-seen-before wolf form.She had a lovely posture and a gorgeous mane. It made me wonder where she was from. Who could've bred such divinity?I felt an unusual urge to bow before her like she was a queen of some sort.My queen. And I would serve her to the end of my days.It nearly made me sick to feel such respect for anyone, but, Roman was majestic and her eyes were like a river of honey glaze.Those same rich eyes were poor of emotion. I could not read anything. This whole time she had been a book of sorrow, grief and confusion but now, she was blank like a naked page. She just stood there in the breeze of the cold season, looking into the distance, no longer at me but beyond. Her eyes were deep into the forest.What are you thinking? I asked telepathically only to mentally slap myself for b

Running beside her in the wind, was the most freedom I'd ever felt. She led the way and I followed.In the winter of the woods, she glowed in the gloom and I was a black spot, blending into the background. She stood out with her sun-kissed fur. Anyone could see her from a distance which made it more dangerous for her to be alone.An odour stung my nose. An unsettling lethal smell of death. The air became thicker as Roman slowed her pace.A village came into view behind a wall of trees and sorghum. Around 11 to 20 huts surrounded a well made of mud and thatch. Old blood filled the air as I saw the complete opposite of paradise. Flesh and bones and broken homes everywhere. I stood before the village, too unsettled to stumble upon dead bodies.Roman stalked deeper, analysing each home carefully.It was traumatic, and the smell was gut-wrenching. It was colder here, colder than anywhere in the forest. Shredded fur like hers and an eyeball laid before my paw and I shuddered back.At a sho

Khai and I walked home, hand in hand. It felt right like I’d combust into a million pieces if he ever let go of me. He had called it home when he suggested we return, so I eventually called it so. I had to call someplace home. I was glad to be in clothes I was familiar with but his clothes were better, cleaner, fancier. Softer.When we got home, he led me upstairs to his room where I made acquaintance with something called a shower that shot pressured water out of a head above me. The warm water added weight to my dreadlocks as I scrubbed them with some goo-like substance that smelled like lavender. Honestly, I didn't understand why I needed soap to be clean. Back home my siblings and I jumped into the river and swam around and called it a day. But here I was using soap and a towel borrowed to me. It was his, I could smell his DNA.I squeezed the jelly-like liquid and scrubbed my body with an artificial loofah.Through all the scrubbing I felt the need to scrub harder, the black marks

That made me nervous. Who was everyone? Was it all those eyes that cornered me that day? What would they even think of me?I'm certain they diagnosed me as unstable because I went straight into panic mode that day."Already?"I was satisfied knowing Jacob, Yolanda and the other girl alone. Oh, and his mother, whom I adored on the case of existence alone but everyone, who was everyone?"I want everyone to know. They need to know. The pack needs to be assured that the Luna has been found.""Khai.""They'll like you,” he said as he walked to the door.He stopped and turned his head back to me."They must,” he said darkly.“Please don’t force them to like me. I don’t think I’m that unlikable.”He guffawed.“I will try my best.”“Khai?”“Okay! I promise. It’s just hard. I’m basically on auto-pilot now.”I arched a brow at him. He rolled his eyes.“Fine,” he agreed and left.I was flushed, I could see the hints of red under my caramel skin.I could understand him. Perhaps that’s how things

"Ma!" Hannah reached out for her Edna but she slipped through her fingers.Edna had first picked up the dish thrown it into the sink and walked out through the kitchen door. Wind gushed at me as I was directly facing the door, leaving me with tension I didn't understand.Hannah went after her aunt."Was it something I said?" I asked, guilt-punching me in the face."No," Khai said with mindlessly. His mood had shifted too. All that joy was sucked out.Was it me? What had I done? Would anyone explain? I felt too afraid to speak again. It seemed my questions only upset these people.Whether it was me or not, silence refused to depart after that, everyone shared knowing stares while I sat there looking like a fool. Yolanda looked at Jacob who just sighed."I'll heat the pasta. Falcon, will you help me?" Linda suggested responsibly and continued where Edna had left off.Falcon was Hannah's mate and he was just average-looking. There was nothing impressive about his pale skin. Every time I

I found them in the living room."You will respect her as you do me. If you can't, leave," Khai growled.Eddie was kneeling, kissing the ground with his forehead as if bowing to him. His body trembled and I could see tears glistening in the light. His jaw clenched.Khai's eyes were a merciless icy blue. His expression twisted in anger.What had Eddie done?I could feel Khai's power, only slightly. I could only imagine the immense pain he bore into the back of Eddie's head. It was a gentle pain in my head, like the first signs of a headache."You will count your words, boy.""Khai? What are you doing?" I shouted.Eddie sniffled and struggled in grunts, curling into a ball."Punishing him,” he said.He kept his eyes focused on Eddie. The pain worsened.Eddie fell to one side, gripping his stomach and letting out a small scream. Linda walked in behind me. Her hands clasped her lips as she held back a scream. I watched her as she stood by the arch, watching helplessly in horror.That was

A few steps away from me, his stiffened. I would've been pleased to see him turn around and apologise if it weren't for a blood-curdling scream from outside. Followed by a loud growl and snapping jaws. Khai looked back at me, mortified.If he was angry earlier, he was enraged then. We ran outside.The scream became louder and more alarming.Yolanda and Jacob came out of the nearest room and joined us.So that was their room.They phased right there and then. Yolanda turned into a gracious tawny wolf and pounced out onto the porch. Jacob stood beside her, a strong grey one.Linda looked at me from the living room with her son. They both nodded to me with reverence as we came out.The cold licked my naked thighs and I regretted wearing the dress in the first place. The house was so humid while the outside was the exact opposite.Wolves.A brown wolf led two to a red-haired girl crying her lungs out.Grace.She crawled on her back as the brown wolf pounced on her. She bared her arms as s

Sweat beaded my chest. Air slipped between my lips as it was too fast for me to catch it. The room was humid and I kicked off the blanket as it was burning my covered feet. I covered my face with my hands to feel if I was real. If I was really here in the Traga house. It was just a dream. Just a very vivid dream.This time I was trapped in a cage of trees, formed close to each other like clasped fingers - refusing me any pathway. A bloodthirsty growl came from a dark forest. I was in my wolf form, injured and scared. A black wolf appeared in the distance. It was him, the bloody Azrael alpha, Intiyago. My hands trembled at the thought of him. The whole dream made him a deadly demon, it made him larger than reality, someone who could shift in and out of my head at will.Although I was wide awake the terror still thummed in me like a pulse. My eyes scanned the room, maybe he was behind the bookshelf or the ominous bathroom door.It wasn't the first time I dreamt of him though, even befor

"Rue, Regina and I were the only girls, the rest were boys. Rue and Regina are-were twins."She choked and my gaiety disappeared."We all had golden eyes. The whole pack. At night we didn't need any light,” she said with distance.I nodded for her to carry on."Robin was the firstborn, he was very cocky but still the best older brother I've ever had. Then there was Ryan and Ryco, who were two years apart and the best of friends. They liked pranks and managed to piss off everyone in the village. They looked out for me, constantly defending me from Riven's bullying. He bullied everyone but that's just how he expressed himself I guess."A short shaky breath left her lips."You don't have to-""Riven fed on my humiliation."I admired her boldness. "Reuben was anti-social most of the time. You kind of remind me of him." She smiled."I am not anti-social," I argued. I wasn't."You kinda are, when you want to be.""You don't know me," I stated and she rolled her rich eyes."Anyways, the rea

Everything irritated me. I could feel particles in the air brushing past every inch of me as I went downstairs like soft paper cuts on my skin. The air was not clean, I could see dust wafting in the air and resting on the brim of vases, must on the windows. The world around me exploded into intricate disgusting detail. I could hear everything, everyone's thoughts and voices like a cacophony in my brain. Sounds of subtle movements, shifting, shuffling, coughs and saliva. Louder and louder by the second.Why was this happening now? Why couldn't I just have a simple conversation with her? Have long moments of tranquility. I wanted to go back to her but I knew I'd be annoyed with her. Everything in existence irritated me. I'd be so insufferable she'd hate me more than she already did.Since she arrived, I've been experiencing lighter swings but I could feel this one was going to be heavy if I couldn't help it.I rushed down the stairs and clapped off the dust under my hands from the rails

"This is interesting," I commented as I held beautiful black lace underwear. Its fabric soft to the touch. My mind could already imagine her goddess-carved body in the black lace. She'd rule my world.Roman tied her hair up in the corner. She looked at me with an uncomfortable look."Uh... yeah- um. Yolanda put it there. I don't know why she did that," she stuttered.Roman was a shit lair. Her heart rate always sped up and her eyes wandered when she did. She was like an open book. Sometimes."It's nice," I admitted and imagined her gorgeous lady lumps in the lingerie. Her sweet caramel skin under the black."Thanks, I guess?” she said awkwardly.A silence crept up on us. That night in the diner was the only time it ever felt normal between us. Were just people, talking and things flowed between us like a cold river. I wanted it to be that way all the time.I eyed a plastic of products on the side of my bed. I dug around in the bag and took out a container."I sent someone out for some

Who did they think I was? Grace, who went around sleeping with everyone? Because that worked out great for her. Were they trying to sabotage me? I was a real wolf. I had values, morals, and traditions. Did they think I would just fold to whatever condition they laid before me? Did she think I was gullible because I was a wild wolf?I sighed. I needed to calm down. I decided to keep quiet for the rest of the shopping trip, listening to Yolanda's stories about her and Jacob. I had to admit they were really interesting but, at the same time, I was thinking about Khai.What he was doing right now or what he was thinking about. I could feel that he was alive somewhere somehow. Was he just sitting at home or was he out with the pack, having a meeting or doing whatever made him rich?"You look great," Yolanda said.She was reading a magazine. We were in a fitting room and I came out in the flora dress."It compliments your skin colour, it makes you glow," she added.Heat rushed up to my chee

"I like this dress, maybe you will look good in it too."I looked up from biting my lips, at Yolanda who held a floral dress to her body."It's short, it's still winter," I said mindlessly.I wasn't paying attention.It didn't make sense now did it? How I could be so close to Khai yet so distant? We slept in the same room yet I'd get butterflies thinking of what to say next."Oh come on, winter will be over in a month or so, you even said it,” she said walking to me from the other side of the clothing rack."I don't know." I shook my head.We were at a large shopping mall uptown, in an independent clothing store called Flora's. I had suggested we get in here but I couldn't focus. All that presented itself before my eyes was Khai's body - a shirt shifting off his body before bed, then he'd slip on his navy blue pyjama shirt and smirk at me, and read a book as I fell asleep. His scent remained in my nose though he was miles away at home. I could still smell him, craved him like a vice. I

Yolanda and I discussed the matter of Grace's accommodation. Khai didn't even want to come; he stayed in his room. I wore Yolanda's jeans and a white top."She will just take back her old room back. I didn't even touch it," I sighed."As long as it’s cool with you," Jacob said, we were in their room.It was a large room that smelled of autumn leaves that had been basking in the Sun all day. We sat on the three-seat couch by the frosted window."Yeah I mean, I'll have to sleep with Khai eventually,” I said plainly.Jacob smiled playfully at me."Sleep with him," he laughed."Gosh, Jacob!" I exclaimed, blushing.Yolanda laughed from their bathroom."Why are you silly?" I asked him."It's just the way he is," Yolanda said.She came out, wiping her face with a towel. They hugged each other and kissed. Their love was so obnoxious, you didn't need to be a genius to see. It was too much."How did you guys meet?"They turned their attention to me. Jacob smiled."Jacob and I have been in this

When we got home the house was dark. Everyone had gone to sleep. We tiptoed poorly through the house, giggling like teenagers who'd snuck out right under mommy and daddy's noses. Roman bumped her elbow against the corner of the counter and hissed in pain. I covered my mouth and I laughed at her."It's not funny," she whispered."It is," I laughed.The stairs seemed to creak louder than they'd ever creaked in their lives. Each step the wood yawned and stretched.In the room she went to the bathroom and put on a night dress. I wore my own pyjamas and she came out of the bathroom in my mother's old night dress."You look like someone's grandmother," I said."Glad I'm unattractive to you Khai," she said with a mischievous grin and sat on her side of the bed.She began tying her hair up and I watched her merticulously. How she held and picked up each lock into the velvet hair tie. She had her back to me so I could just stare. The night dress was big so when her arms were raised the sleeves

And there it was—that look defined by pity. I slid my hand out of hers as she scowled at me.The snow had a better look. Indifference. Never pity. She'd soon become like the rest of them, watching me, waiting for a break. Concerned. Worried. Saddened."I'll kill him," she muttered.Her hand was in a fist, her jaw clenched."Where did he even get the gall?" her voice grew louder as she became infuriated."That's vile. It's disgusting Khai. Is he still alive?"I nodded slowly. I was surprised. No one had ever reacted like that. I expected a sorry. An apology but none of that. Rage. Just as I had felt. All-consuming rage."Let's find him.""Roman," I whispered.That's insane, I wanted to say. Crazy. It's old news, it doesn't even bother me anymore. I don't care about him. He's probably in jail by now. I can't be living in the past. All these things I wanted to say but I said none of them. I said nothing.We couldn't kill a human. They are so helpless. A sickness would get him. Such vile
