She Was The Queen Chapter Thirteen
"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

War ensued around me. Hannah was attacked by two wolves. Falcon arrived and ripped one off her, throwing it into the trees with his mouth. The wolf hit the ancient oak tree with its back, curling up like a dying spider. Eddie and Kyle fought together as five wolves encroached around them. Linda's jaw came up with a bloody oesophagus, its owner dying under her. The little light in the dying wolf's eyes went dim as they looked at me.I staggered back, my feet weighing tons. I couldn't move. I couldn't think. I was stuck here... again. Pure white snow turned red and furry as the packs tore each other from limb to limb around me. I couldn't watch it. I couldn't be here. No. Not again. I fell to my knees, drew my body close to me, shut my eyes and blocked my ears. I couldn't stand it. The flood of brown and sandy shades of browns and greys in on the snow - all I could see was home - my pack, the Azraels and death. I froze, not because of the cold. Apprehension flooded over me and

Why didn't they call us? A thought went.Hurry.I sense her, can you?Yeah.We can't lose her.Or him. All these different voices spoke in my head, I started to believe the nausea was getting deadly so I shut my eyes and they all pounced on me, tearing my skin and scaring me. The wolves clawed at me, howling for their injured alpha.I couldn't believe I had just injured an alpha.I tried to move but I was paralyzed, my ribs were broken.Claws were on my eyelids. I tried to filter the pain but it didn't help. They all climbed on me, at any moment whatever was holding my bones in place, my skin together would let up. Jaws sank into my shoulders and legs, stomach and face. I couldn't breathe or cry.Khai was near and he growled, snapping his jaws at the enemy. The voices kept on recurring, doubling in numbers. These weren't my thoughts. Khai tore some of the wolves off. His tepid tongue licked my face.Relax, they’re here. His voice was now in my head.I laid still and remained as calm

"I concur with Whitney." The man said, confirming my theory of the woman's name."I don't," Khai simply said."But-" the old man began."I'm done." Khai rudely cut off. His desiccated eyes signalled the end of this conversation.Whitney and the man stepped back and nodded simply.He was just done with the conversation, his interests were elsewhere. His eyes glared straight ahead at Grace who lumbered down from the stairs. She was approaching, barefoot on the snow, her eyes hesitant on his icy ones.He also walked straight to her. Grace held her hands out in defence."You! Grace you! You!" Khai shouted. He didn't have the words."This is all you. Look now, we broke the treaty for you!"Grace started breathing heavily, trying to explain, I could tell she was afraid of the consequences of what she did. Whatever it was, I was anxious for her. Grace shrunk under him, scared."Tell them, tell them all what you did."Khai was terrifying then. Grace cupped her hands and quivered."Say it!""

"Don't ever come back,” he spat at her.I looked between the two and the whole pack around us. No one found this crazy at all. He was about to hit a woman."So she can go out and give it up again?" I asked him."Let's be logical,” I said to the whole pack.They were all angry. I felt a sense of the importance of the treaty. A peace was broken between them and things would never be the same. But I wanted to be rational."Grace can't be out of our sight, she is out of control," I spoke loud for everyone to hear.For some reason, I felt okay to be speaking out of turn. And I knew Khai would be pissed. He had told me earlier to know my place. But if I spoke only to him, I knew he would dismiss me. I needed the peer pressure.Call it disrespect but everyone has a right to an opinion."She should stay here."I pointed at the ground of the garden."Here in the house,” I said, catching eyes like Grace's in the crowd. Whitney and she didn't look pleased. She wasn't going to take

Sometimes I could feel it, the way my mind shifted like a kaleidoscope of images. One hour or minute images of joy, happiness and calm filtered into my eyes and moulded my mental state. The next the world burned and all I could do was watch then the next it would all go dark and heavy and I couldn’t stand it at all.She could see it, just like everyone else. It would only be a matter of time before she started fearing me or avoiding me. A matter of moments before the whole pack came crashing against me, telling me what to do – concern scarring their eyes. I hated their pity, I also hated their indifference.I wasn’t always like this. I didn’t have to be like this. Traga was just not a place for outliers. We were a unique pack of wolves, a pack of wolves with powers - abilities rare and few in other packs. We had them in the many, every third wolf had something special about them, but when it came to behaviour we all had to be the same. Sane, perfect and clean as if that made us strong

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
