The school alarm ranged, I turn my wrist over and it was already 2:00pm,that was the closing hour in my school.The teacher left the classroom.
I pick my book and walk out of the classroom like other classmates. I walk to my locker, I bring out my school bag and lock the locker again. I step out of the school premises. I had no friends because most of my classmates bully me, I am a nobody, my mom is a maid at the palace, I am also treated as one. The only reason my mom is working her ass off in the Palace is because of me, she wants to take me to earn respect in the palace like every other wolf.
I will be eighteen soon, I have no mate yet , I am hoping to have my mate in the next mating ceremony, I am a maiden’s daughter so I should only expect to be mated to any of those maid’s children because even if I am mated to a Prince or a billionaire Alpha, he would reject me of my status.
I walk towards the road when one of my classmates who is also a maid’s daughter came running towards me.
“ Estelle! Estelle!! Ellen screamed and stopped in front of me panting hard.
“Is everything alright? I asked looking into her eyes.
“ Your mom! Your mom!! has been locked up by the Queen” Ellen says.
“What?! My mom! I pull off my back pack and run as far as my leg could carry through the woods,I pant so hard, I fell down and had bruises on my knee, my legs hurt but nothing hurts more than seeing my mom get into the cruel Queen’s trap.
The Queen is such a merciless and manipulative woman, she might order my mom killed for whatever crime she must have committed.
I run into the palace panting hard, I rush in ,I tried to my mom’s co worker, none of them tell me wht happened.
I then rush to the Queen’s quarters, her guards wouldn’t let me in, I pleaded with the guards to let me see the Queen. One of the Queen guards went in and return back to me. He lets me into the house.
I walked in, she was sitted on her royal chair , I bowed in front of her, I didn’t look up to her.
“You must be Sara’s daughter, Estelle?Am I right? I asked.
“Yes, I am your highness” I replied in fear, my heart beating hard against my chest. My heart thumping so hard.
“Did you heard your mom tried to kill me? She asked.
“ My mom? My mom can’t ki…….” the next thing I felt was a hot slap across my face.The Queen was the one who slapped me.
“ Are you calling me a Liar? The Queen said majestically as she walks around me in circles. I held my face sobbing with my face still looking down to the floor.
I fell to my knees and began to plead,Your highness ,Pardon my mom your highness,I will do anything, just anything for you in exchange of my mom’s life” I said to the Queen.
“ Are you sure? She asked.
“ Yes your highness” I replied with my sob.
“ Everyone Excuse us”She says. All her maidens excused us and we were both left alone.
“I want you to become my breeder, a secret breeder to my husband, if you do that I will free your mom” She said.
Tears flows down my cheek , that was a tough decision for me, I never thought I would be doing this someday but do I have a choice? I need to save my mom.
“ Do we have a deal? She asked. I nodded my head reluntanctly.
“ Good” she says.You will stay here until I come to pick you myself” she said.I nodded my head.
The Queen left me in the office, he locked me up inside her office.
Late in the night, She came to pick me up herself, she led me into one of the rooms on the upper floor closer to the Masters.
She locked me up until late in the night.
QUEEN.
It’s been twenty years of marriage with the king with no child,The throne needs a heir, I can’t have a baby,I am the reason I and the king can’t have a baby. He must have thought I was his mate but no, I am not his mate, I only cast a spell on him to think that I am his mate, I know we are not supposed to be mate but why would every of my friends have a rich, handsome and good looking mate and I will only get a ugly, wretched mate,I am one of the most beautiful and sexy, I deserve better than my friends and that’s not only the reason I married the king with my dark Magic, I want the kingdom,I want to rule like a female Alpha and not just raise kids. I guess being childlessness is part of the consequences of being the king’s wrong mate.
I am not going to watch myself loose what is supposed to be mine, I want to rule after my husband,I want my lineage to remain a royal and I will do anything to get it.
After Dinner the king and I went to have a shower , we layed in bed and we began to kiss, I pull away from the king’s kiss then I went into the secret room where I kept Estelle and bring her out, I took her into our room.
My husband sits up from his bed. “What’s going on here? My husband asks.
“ I….I want you to have sex with her till she gets pregnant” I said.
“What?! The king asks.
“ Yes, I have brought her to be our breeder secretly, no one will ever know she is the mother of our kids, they will only think the babies she has belongs to us” I said.
“ Why would you do such a thing without letting me know?I am sorry my Queen I can’t do this”I said.
“Please, I beg of you, do this for me, we need pups or our kingdom will slip off our finger and everything you have worked for, every legacy your forefather’s has built over the years will just slip away just like that? Please” I pleaded.
“ Babe ,I can’t do this? We never had a discussion about this” He said.
The argument continued then I knew my dark magic is needed right now. I quickly make some incantations then I ordered him to make love to Estelle.
“ I command you to have sex with Estelle each time I bring her into this bedroom” I said in command of my dark magic.
ESTELLE.I saw her , she just use some magic, the king stood up ,he walked past her and walk towards me, there was this strong scent that pulled me towards him.The queen left us while he pulled closer to me, he is supposed to just have sex with me but instead he place his lips on my nape, he sink his teeth into my skin, it felt so good,my body began to heat up,I began to want his hands on my skin.I could feel myself get wet for him, I could also feel his hard on rubbing my tight,it’s my first time , I am being touched that way,it’s my first time of being Marked by anyone, it’s my first time getting heated for someone.After his mark on my nape, he looked into my face down to my lips, gently he leaned his lips on my lips and kissed it , the kiss was so passionate, I thought he would break away from the kiss but he didn’t do that, he only deepened the kiss. He picked me up, he carried me a bridal style not breaking the kiss, he dropped me on the mattress, and I yelped.Kennedy climbed
The Queen was on the floor struggling to stand up while the king look up to me as if he was seeing me for the first time. I was coughing holding my neck, he rushes to his wife and face me.“ Who are you?! he asked me.The Queen quickly answered.“ She is evil, she just used her dark Magic to take advantage of you, I saw her in your bed, I asked her to get up and that was how she attacked me” She said.The king looked up to me and scream out. “ Guards! The KIng screamed, I began to plead.“ That’s not true your highness, she…..she….” The Guards came in and held me, I could see the queen smirk,the guards held me and the queen stood up, she slapped me and other the Guards to lock me up.I began to struggle and suddenly a force took over me and I was able to wriggle out of the hands of the guards, I took to my heels to run and the Guards began to chase after me, my wolf came out and I shifted into it, the guards ordered the gates closed , I ran as fast as I could, my wolf helped in running
Two maids came to me they bow to me, they brought me a dress, an expensive gown,it’s not a ball, it’s a long straight gown. I took my bath and dress up, I walk to the mirror looking like those filthy rich kid.I smile at myself in the outfit I am wearing, I went to sit at the vanity and another maid came in with a woman who helped me with my make up.The maids led me to my parents in the Banquet room, there were other royals in the Banquet ,they were all seated round the table,my sister adopted sister Erica also came, she was wearing a one arm straight gown.We both stood and bow to my parents, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and Nobles were at the table.There were empty chairs one beside mom and another beside my dad.My dad ask me to come sit with him and my mom ask Erica to come sit with her.ERICA.Staring at Emilia got me so angry, she seems to have come to steal all the dedicated love my parents had shown me all over the years. Just in hours that she was found she has become
“ Yeah, you are right” mom replied with a smile holding her hand.I stare at her as she walks to the door, she opens the door and look back to me, she stare at me in a way that I could feel something is not right about her.I could feel my wolf trying to speak to me but it keeps pulling itself back. Mom was speaking to me and nothing from all she was saying was entering into my hearing until she tapped me.“ hey,is everything okay?My mom asked.“ Yeaaah, I don’t know”I said.“ You don’t know? She asked.“ Just trying recollect my past, maybe I could remember” I Lied.“Okay, The doctor will be here soon to tell us what happened to you medically’ My mom said.“ I should take my bath and get dressed then” I said to my mom.“ Okay honey” She said and kissed me on my fore head, she got off the bed and took her leave.When she left , I undressed and walk to the bathroom, I flash back to my vision and my dreams,all I could feel was danger, I am in danger with not one person, two people, they
Pregnant?I asked in serious confusion,I steal a glance at her andtry to place my hand on my tummy but I couldn’t“ Who are you ?I look up to her. I can tell she isn’t a good person, a very dishonest person, I could see cruelty in her, the way she paces around me and look at me.“ Why are you playing pretence Estelle? You think you are smart? You think even though you found out already that the king is your mate, I would let go of our deal? She asked. She squat in front of me, she look deeply into my eyes and smile. Stop trying to be smart Estelle, you are nothing but a baby to me, you can’t pretend and think I will fall for all those cheap antics” She says.“ Deal? My Mate? The king? I said to myself in a lower voice, all I remember was being tricked by my adopted sister Erica out and someone injecting me with something but the whole thing about this woman seems strange to me.I began to try to search my memory if I have met this woman before? And I remembered her she was one of the w
FEW MONTHS LATER.I dress up at night, I didn’t dress like I would have really dress, I cast a magic on the king to keep sleeping.I walked out of the palace with the nurse with my fake pregnancy,I had to do this to make Everyone believe that I am pregnant.Did I just say babies? Yes babies,she is expecting triplets, Two boys and a girl, we had a scan of the babies about a month ago, she could put to bed anytime from now so I go to check on her frequently.The driver drove us to the house, we step into the house , I could hear whimper, it’s whimpers of pain as we walked closer to the underground where she is. The nurse rushes towards the door,I opened the door, she was already in Labour, she was in pain.The nurse rushes towards her, I untie her legs but not her hand, yes that is where the strength of her Magic lies, her magic is powerful than mine, I know there is magic in her voice when she screams out for help and that is why I always make sure she has gag on her mouth.The nurse
“ What?! I asked,I felt disappointing because I already announced to the kingdom that I am expecting triplet and they are looking forward to it,even the king is looking forward to the triplets.I clasp my hand together and pick one of the triplet. “ Drop the baby with down syndrome with his mom,I can’t deal with the stress of raising such baby” The nurse look at me and was going to speak.“ Do as I say” I said with a straight face. “ Pick the babies and let’s go, I need to go and lay myself at the Royal hospital,I need to be fast about it” The nurse picked up the babies as we were about to leave she look back at Estelle and look into my face.“What about the mom of the triplets , we cannot leave her in this condition” She says with her head bowed.“ Her condition is none of your business, do as I say and don’t ask stupid questions” I said.Estelle look into my eyes, she was trying to struggle to move in her chains but I was just laughing . I feel like strangling her to death but I was
I look towards the window trying to search my memory.“I should remember! I should …..I….Should remember my past” I said.“ Aunt Agnes needs help, she has been through so much since I know her, one man named Ernest just left, he always bully Aunt Agnes, he will take us all away if Aunt Agnes doesn’t pay his money” Ethan said.I look towards the door, Agnes stood with a tray of food and fruits in her arms, the happy beautiful face I saw earlier wasn’t the one I am seeing now, she is suffering because of me and my son.She paused for a while then she tried to wear a smile on her face.“My son told me everything, I promise I will repay you for your good deeds, it’s all because of you that I am alive” I said.“No, you don’t have to do that , I wil save up to sort it out” Agnes said.“ No,I won’t let you do this alone,it’s my duty to pay you back” I said.“You should eat first before it gets cold”Agnes says.Few days later we bonded so well then suddenly I saw my son standing alone, I call
“I can’t stop thinking about Selina,” Emilia said wistfully.King turned to face her. “Truthfully, I had also not expected her to do that.”“I was moved by the fact that Selina apologized.”“That’s true,” King agreed. “To be honest, she was the last person I expected to apologize to you.”After Emilia had saved Selina’s life, she had come to apologize to her. It was quite a show of humility as she had gone down on her knees and bowed to the ground before Juniper. Juniper had pleaded with her to get up, but she’d refused to get up until she had said her piece.“I’m sorry for how I treated you growing up,” Selina had said, with teary eyes. “You were right. You never killed Dad. I was always so angry at you for that night, but I never thanked you for saving me that night. And that sucks.“So thank you, Selina. Thank you. Twice you saved my life, and all I ever did was hate you and bully you. I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, but I can’t. Do you think you can forgiv
He let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the bed again. His thighs burned something furious and he was afraid of moving too suddenly. He couldn’t deal with a cramp right now.Emilia’s breathing started to level out after five minutes. She had the energy of five people in bed, and no matter how tired King thought she was, she was always ready for another tumble.Her intensity and desire scared KIng, but it was still one of the things that he loved the most about her. She matched his energy in so many different ways and their time together always ended up looking like one of them had a point to prove to the other.She turned to look at him, beaming. “That was….”“Amazing?” King finished for her, chuckling.“I was going to say scary, but amazing works as well.” Emilia smiled. “Really, I thought I was going to burst an artery for a moment there.”“Lucky you,” King teased. “I think I heard a few pop.” Emilia laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, and then her lips.“Poor
With tears in her eyes, she admitted what she had been holding back from admitting for so long. “I love you too, King.”King smiled wider and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close, gently, and kissed her softly. Juniper melted into his embrace and forgot all about her pain and fear and frustration. She wrapped her arms around King, happy that she could hold him again.She had been so afraid of losing him. She had been so afraid of dying. And yet…here they were. She gripped him tighter, wanting to make sure he was real, not another sliver of her creative mind, a figment of her imagination. Yes, he was real. This was real.She was startled to hear voices and broke the kiss abruptly. The entire pack approached them, whooping and cheering loudly. She blushed slightly with embarrassment. She had completely forgotten all about them, and with good reason.“Wow!” Articus said. “What you did? We have never seen anything like it before. Where did you learn that from?”Emilia blinke
She walked slowly to the side, keeping herself on his blind side as she approached. She tried to levitate off the ground but couldn’t. All her powers had manifested physically into the spear in her hand.The only mana left in her was what powered her to move and function. She had to strike, and quickly, or she would be dead before she realized it.King had seen her get up, had seen the spear form in her hand. By some miracle, he had managed to keep his expression neutral and his eyes on the vampire.The vampire landed softly in front of him and pulled his blood spear out of the air. “So, this is how it ends.” He grinned wildly. “You fought well.”King held his gaze. “Don’t patronize me. Do what you have to do. Do you remember your promise? My life for theirs. No harm comes to my pack or my mate.”“Why the rush to die?” The vampire shook his head in mock sympathy. “Such a naive little boy. I made you no promises, fool. But I will promise you this. When I kill everyone you love and dest
The vampire threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He held the whole town hostage. He was judge, jury, and executioner, and he had all the power. Worst of all, he wasraving mad.He formed another spear in the air and it hovered beside his head. He shoved Emilia casually, ever so absentmindedly, to the ground. She crashed into the ground and bumped her knees as she fell.Pain lanced through her. Her palms felt like she wielded two balls of fire, and she couldn’t feel her legs. She stretched out on the ground, taking stock of her injuries. She never suffered any real damage from injuries, thanks to her powers, but she still felt pain.She watched the vampire as he floated toward King. Her chest squeezed with fear when she looked at the long, thin spear that moved before him. He had a look of pure evil on his face.King, on the other hand, looked resigned to his fate. He looked like someone who was waiting to die. He looked ready for it, like he had been waiting his entire life to d
He saw the vampire hovering high in the sky, watching the people. King had a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched the still vampire.The vampire spread his arms to the side. At first, nothing happened. And then, the air around him shimmered. Thin, red objects appeared in the sky. Thousands of them, pointed like needles.King let out a wordless cry when he recognized the pointed objects floating in the sky. Blood spears. This was why the vampire had spent his time killing and discarding of so many animals.This was blood magic on an unprecedented scale. Cold realization washed over him. The vampire was going to wipe out the entire pack in one attack, and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.King clambered up to his feet, feeling defeated. How many of those could he block? How many people could he have saved today? He arrived at one inevitable answer. Not enough.As he had feared, the spears were turned toward the pack. His mouth ran dry and he watched wordlessly, awai
His body trembled from pain and he could feel a few broken ribs. He got up shakily and the pain lacerated through him, even as his body started to slowly knit itself back together.Still disoriented, he looked up just in time to see a fist flashing toward his face. The vampire’s bony knuckle connected solidly with King’s jaw and sent his head reeling backward.The force of the blow caused a shock wave to spread out around King and the vampire. He went flying backward, crashing into the ground several times before he came to a stop several yards away.He got up slowly and felt a hot, white pain in his jaw and knew that it had been shattered. He limped, his front legs faltering as his shoulder had not fully healed. The vampire floated toward him slowly as he felt his jaw. The vampire grinned at him and licked his lips with a pale tongue. “My turn.”King had no idea how to escape the blows that rained down on him. He ducked as furiously as he could, but half the strikes connected, and he
Fannar drilled Selina about what she had seen, and asked for details about her fight with the vampire.Selina cackled drily. “Fight? That wasn’t a fight. That was a beating. I barely managed to get my hands up before it ripped into me with the force of a bear and the speed of a fox. I have never seen anything like that in my life before. I think we are in big trouble.”The room fell silent and the alphas exchanged glances with each other. Asher spoke up first. “Did he give any indications why he took your sister?”Selina gave him an incredulous look. “If he did, I didn’t notice. I was too busy picking pieces off my ass off the curb.” She sighed and slumped into her seat. “What do we do?”The question hung over the room like a thick cloud of black smoke. No one had an answer to Selina’s question. No one knew how to find the vampire in the woods with powers like she had just described.Worse, they had no idea if Juniper was still alive. King didn’t want to think about what could have ha
He frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. She shriveled under the scrutiny. He looked down at her stomach and she covered herself reflexively in horror. Knowing how he felt about the wolves, she was afraid of what he would do to her unborn child.A look of realization settled on his face. “You’re carrying a wolf child in your womb…” His voice sounded as soft as the wind rustling through leaves, barely a whisper.He let go of her wrist and took two steps back. He looked hurt and upset. “How could you? How could you allow your womb to be tainted by wolves?” And then, his eyes turned as cold as ice and his voice hardened. “I will wipe them all out. I will start with Moonwood, and then I will wipe every last one from the Starlight Valley and wider.”Emilia started to plead but he just walked backward, with a look of cold resolution on his face. Without another word, he turned around and sped off into the woods, heading toward the town.Without thinking, Emilia started running. From the den
