She Was The Queen Chapter Thirty-Two - Khai
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

"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

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

"Roman?" A deep voice called.I froze with meat dangling from my mouth."Khai?" I questioned silently and looked back.I wasn't supposed to wake him. Who else did I wake up?"What's wrong?"The impulse to lie was there but the truth was stronger, it just rolled out of me."I had a nightmare.""About?""The Azraels." I bit into the meat and blood oozed out of the corner of my lips. I groaned at my terrible presentation."They won't hurt you-""You don't know that," I shot at him."You're safe here."He lied, he had to be. He was just doing that thing people did when someone was sad, afraid and confused. Say the opposite."The Azraels won't come here, they are outnumbered."He boasted about his humongous pack. It surely was the largest pack I've ever seen but the Azraels were strong. Deadly."He's coming back," I stated."He won't. He ran away because he was outnumbered. We are bigger. Stronger.""He's probably planning something big. Something dangerous and he will destroy us," I found

I burned like a star. Endless upon endless combustions of passion fuelled by the bottomless well of my desire. I had only gazed down that well before, I didn't know my waters ran that deep. I was in a frenzy. Conscious yet not willing to reign myself back out of it. I pulled him closer to me. I could tell he was in full control, he, himself wanted this. I traced my hands all over his defined upper body, feeling down to the shapes of his abdominal muscles. So well-made he was.His hands went under my shirt and he gripped my breast under the cage they called a brassiere. The sensation my body gave out whenever he touched me, was enhanced when he touched me there.I kissed his collarbone, making him moan, finding this as his primary soft spot. I'd never done this before but my body knew where to kiss, where to touch as if it had been written into the fibres of my being. We were in indulgence.His breaths tickled my neck and chest as he pulled my shirt off, leaving me in the colourful bra

Khai’s presence entered the room and eased into bed. My back was to him and I pretended to sleep. His warmth inched closer and closer until his arms wrapped around my body. I moved myself out of his arms.“I knew you weren't asleep.”“I thought we agreed on no touching in bed.”“I thought that after our make-out session, all rules were gone.”I could hear him smirking through his voice.“I just want to grieve in silence and... in space.”I came here to cry alone.“Don’t you want to stop grieving, haven’t you had enough?”My head snapped in his direction. His head rested on his palm. I didn't have the words.“I want you now,” Khai said softly.I had assumed he was an impatient person but now I knew.“That’s selfish," I stated.Anger simmered in my belly and crawled up my throat like bile. If I stayed there I would say things I didn't mean. I got up from the bed.“Where are you going?” he asked as I opened the door and shut it behind me.Inconsiderate bastard. Impatient prick. Insensiti

Grace never left her room. She just stopped going out. I bet the stench was putrid.Mom always left food for her at the door and she would open only for that. The same person who allowed her to stay didn't even talk to her. I only saw Grace if I woke up early enough to find her heading to the shower. Very early."So Grace stays?" an elder asked.We sat in a meeting, me and of all elders of the pack were in the living room. It had been two weeks since the treaty was broken. Schedules clashed and there never came a time for everyone to come together until then. Things were always slow here."Yes," I sighed heavily.I stood in the middle and they all sat on the couches."No punishment?" another asked."The Luna prescribes we don't.""So you let your Luna control you?" An old friend of my father asked from the corner.I growled under my breath and sneered at him. I knew they would see it that way."She doesn't control

Elders gathered around us in a crooked circle. The snow was weak beneath us, it melted completely with each step. Icicles melted and snow shook off trees at the slightest touch. News had spread and a couple of pack members came from their homes, even Audrey was there. Roman and I stood in the midst, a knife in her hand. My grandfather stood closest to us.We'd put contingencies at play. I made my grandfather vow that if I died they would not harm Roman but let her go free."You know," she said lowly, only loud enough for me alone to hear.Her long eyelashes brushed her cheeks, and she gazed up at me with bright, beautiful eyes. I couldn't wait to see her in the spring."My mother told me I was special but I've never really known for myself. Either we look awesome or like fools."I squeezed her wrists to comfort her."I don't care what we look like."Her eyes filled with hope and a glimmer of affection and she looked away."Trag

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

A blur turned into a man with long hair, hunched forward, his back to me. His shoulders moved up and down as he sat on the other end of the mattress. Sunlight poured into the room and it was warm.“What do you want Malcolm?”“Alpha,” he said dully. I groaned.“Please don’t call me that.”“Thank you, I wasn’t enjoying it.” He simply said.We were alone in the room, Edna and Audrey must’ve left for breakfast or something. A little tingle in my stomach made me desperately want to see his face.“Hey look at me,” I told him and he adjusted his weight.His hair was wet, dripping still and parted in the middle. He looked clean, it suited him to be clean.“Why do you keep long hair, you look like a songwriter,” I said.A small smile etched upon his face and I had no idea why it felt good. I hated it.On the other hand, my arms felt like they had been squeezed into immobility and my body was heavy. My nose was runny and I sniffled. I had been lying on one side the whole night, crying in my sle

The hours went by and people stopped coming. Most must’ve been sleeping but I could hear them outside, mourning and crying, their whispers like the wind whistling through leaves.Before I could notice, Edna had curled into a ball and fallen asleep. Yolanda said she was going to the bathroom, but she never returned for a very long time. Audrey and I sat in silence for 20 minutes, just staring off into the darkness and the shadows that danced along with the candle flames.“She’s with Jacob, you know?” Audrey mentioned matter-of-factly.I looked over at her and her face was deepened by shadows, the crevices of her smile were like dark corners. The statement didn’t surprise me – rather I was absorbed in the atmosphere of everything. How dark and gloomy everything had gotten, how everybody’s smiles had turned into tears and clenched teeth. It only took a single moment.“How has this affected you?” I asked her.The question scared me at first, I was afraid she would give me something intell

That night Khai’s bedroom was cleared and they only left the mattress. The room was as bare as carcasses my brothers and I left stripped of any flesh after a hunt. His smell went along with everything and all I could smell was the stench of cigarettes, old, from when Khai used to smoke as a teenager.The room was to be the main room of mourning. Whitney, Edna, Yolanda, Audrey and I sat in there with scarves covering our heads and the longest dresses and skirts we could find. Tradition was the reason for everything lately. We were supposed to sit there and mourn until the sun came up and the funeral began.I didn't want to do it, it sounded miserable. But then I realized I was nowhere above misery and I was the one who spent days with a corpse in bed, pretending and hoping he would wake up and call it all some foul joke. That never happened.Although I wasn’t officially a widow I was considered one. We never got down to tying the knot but his ring hun

Malcolm’s eyes fell on me, cold and stern.“This is not Malcolm’s idea, it is simply tradition,” Raymond said calmly.“Yes… but I am the alpha, I can rule that tradition out of the book,” I said.Raymond’s face hardened. He stood up and stormed toward me. His hand wrapped around the collar of my shirt as he pulled me up to his level.“Haven’t you caused enough trouble, bitch? You will do as we say and fix what you broke.”His voice was coarse, hot on my cheek.“Raymond, calm down! Leave the girl alone!” Edna protested.With all his strength he threw me back into the couch and I sat back down. I tried not to show it but my heart was racing and I was scared. Raymond was a large man, akin to a bear. If we wanted to, he could’ve thrown me into the wall and broken through it.“Roman, I hoped I didn’t have to make it explicitly clear but

Before I could get to know Audrey better Yolanda came to call us. Yolanda and Audrey’s relationship was characterized by brutal teasing, nothing was off the table. Yolanda only needed to say a sentence before Audrey criticised it.“Where did you pick up that atrocious accent?” Audrey asked as we walked down the hallway.At the first step, Yolanda tittered.“Must’ve been from those years when you tutored me. Heads up, read a book before you think you can lecture someone.”“I love to see you taking initiative, I didn’t know you could read.”The two giggled between each other. I didn’t know how to feel about the jokes though, since I couldn’t read.It never mattered if I could read or not back home, what advantage would such a skill afford a culture of people who hardly read? School didn’t exist either, at least in the formal sense. All older wolves saw it as their responsibility to educate those who were younger than them. One morning I’d find myself hunting with my father and the next,
