To Be a Queen
Last Updated:
2021-07-23 21:40:16Queen: Noun. The most powerful chess piece that each player has, able to move in any direction along a rank, file, or diagonal on which it stands. That is the definition of the queen in chess. I had adored chess since an early age. To manoeuvre your pieces in an effort to undermine your opponent. Victory was the only objective. The queen would protect her king, who wasn't able to move much. By doing so, she was the most powerful piece on the board. I was still considered a queen. An abducted queen, but queen none the less. My powers were cut short. Limitations placed on the spaces I was allowed to move. That didn't mean I wasn't able to move at all. But it felt suffocating to know that I had once been able to move in any direction as much as I possibly could. Gobble up opponents when they came too close or posed a great threat to my king. Mikaela would be considered the queen on our chess board now. That was the beauty of having more than one mate. Someone else had taken my place. P

Julian's Point of View Our safe house was all the way across the country in a remote location. No one had occupied the estate since before my parents had lived. But they had kept it up to date, just in case something ever did go wrong. Arjun had landed the helicopter once to refuel and to try and contact Amelia. We couldn't get hold of Selena's body and it drove Arjun mad. He had been silent for most of the flight and I understood his grief. Luciana wasn't lost physically but she was lost to us. In the hands of her father, if Amelia's brief message was any indication. A quiet sort of storm settled amongst us. Mikaela hadn't spoken to me since Amelia had informed us of what had happened to Luciana. I knew she blamed me and hell I blamed myself as well. But I hadn't anticipated for them to take her. Had thought Amber and Sebastian had gotten to her first. Regret chewed on my insides until all I could feel was shame. Heat slammed into us as the helicopt
Last Updated : 2021-07-24The Vampire King and his Omega To to be a Pawn
Pawn: Noun. A chess piece of the smallest size and value, that moves one square forwards along its file if unobstructed, or one square diagonally forwards when making a capture. Each player begins with eight pawns on the second rank, and can promote a pawn to become any other piece, typically a queen, if it reaches the opponent's end of the board. Once upon a time, I was a pawn in my father's game. Made moves and followed orders, but in the eyes of my father, I remained a pawn. Never to be something more. All I was good for was marrying off and producing him stronger heirs. Something to move around and sacrifice as he saw fit. Then Julian came around and made me a queen, quite literally. A pawn had reached the end and became a queen, but her fight would never be over. Would never cease. As a pawn, she was to follow orders. Be obedient and do as she was told. Limited moves with limited spaces, but at least she was a part of the game. Now, as a queen, she made the decisions. She calle

Julian's Point of View Chaos bred chaos. Mikaela was shown to our room once Arjun had contacted the staff. Everyone else was told where to go. When to come for dinner and where to go when their wounds needed tending. It was a never ending cycle. Frantic people ran through the halls and shouted at each other. A living nightmare. So many were lost to the brief attack. We weren't prepared, but preparations would have been useless regardless. These weren't fighters. Long lives never meant that anyone had to fight in wars. Hell, most of these royals had never even seen a battlefield. But my princes had. Had known the feel of mud and blood on their skin. Felt the sharp edge of a sword cut through their flesh. Yet, there were too many people to protect and not enough princes to protect them. Even if it came down to it, I knew they wouldn't lay down their lives for the lower class. They had grown too accustomed to their lavish lifestyles and thrones built on comfort

Mikaela's Point of ViewTears wouldn't stop falling whilst I was alone. Heaving chest and a runny nose, that was what I was currently dealing with. There was a time I prided myself on not crying. Breaking down into millions of pieces. How disappointed that girl would be if she saw me now. All these tears that had never been shed before. For anyone. Until her.***The meadow was peaceful this time of day. Deer ran around the edges of the forest. River twinkling in the sunlight. Small stones made up the river bed. All the while fish played in the mild current. Luciana was still in her birthday dress. A beautiful lavender creation that fell to her knees. Blonde hair shimmered with the same iridescencesas the river just beyond her. Her smile was on full display for the world, a far cry from the frown she had donned whilst we were surrounded by other pack members. Dandelions went flying as she blew on them.

Andrew had collapsed in front of me. Dropped dead, blood spilling from his head. I hadn't laid a hand on him. Hadn't even wished for his death. But he had wished for mine. Came closer with the intent of harming me. The baby within me, my child, had protected us. Knew we were being threatened and had put a stop to it immediately. I didn't have enough time to react. To thank the small being inside of me for what it had done for us. They were watching the entire time. The camera in the corner of the room had flickered once and then the door exploded inwards. Recoiling, I watched as pack men stormed in. Eyes darted towards where Andrew lay and then back towards me. I let my wolf eyes glow. Showed them how close I was to ripping them all to shreds. Father had sent Andrew in here to convince me to change sides. Thought our history would make it easy for him to do so. Our history and Andrew greatly inflating his abilities with women. For a second there I had considered playing the

They say when you reach your lowest, you could only ever go up from there. The same people who said those words probably never reached their lowest. Memories flashed back in my mind. A horror movie I had lived through but couldn't help anyone within. Nightmare wasn't a harsh enough word to describe what I saw. People, my people, being hunted and ripped apart. Bullets grazing the air above my head. Mikaela and Julian nowhere in sight. Maybe that's why father had sent Andrew to my side, for when the memories do come back. Until the stark realization has set in that my mates were no longer with me. Neither was my necklace. Everything felt hollow and overwhelming. Except for the small miracle within my body. The one thing that reminded me of the time I had loved so fiercly it hurt. I had lost track of how long I had been locked in this place. The cell they threw me in had no windows, no day

Mikaela's Point of View Julian and I hadn't spoken in days. No plans were good enough to get Luciana back. Every option we had would be too risky to pull off. People would die. We could die and so could our first child. She was lost to the hands of the enemy. People who had no problem harming her in the past. Lillian couldn't tell us when Luciana had conceived. Couldn't tell us when she was due. It had been nine days since they took her. Condemned her to whatever torture they wanted. To say I was burdened would be an understatement. She was gone and so was our child. Julian had locked himself within our room, refusing to speak with anyone. Refusing to plan for the impending war. This was what hell felt like and we all knew it. Risking my own life to get her back would only bring about more devastation. If things went wrong and I was also lost to the wolves, no one would be left to lead. Arjun and Amelia was deep in mourning. So was most of the other families

PART TWOFive brutal years had passed. Five years filled with turmoil and bloodshed. War had broken out across the planet. Humans screamed in outrage towards the supernaturals. Some screamed in outrage against the war. Allies turned on each other. Countries chose sides. Wolves defected from packs and Alphas grew stronger. No one was safe. Everything was at stake. Very few countries refused the war. Their people rose up in fear and overthrew them. Human children were sent off to die on distant battlefields. True soldiers were few and far inbetween. Old and battle hardened supernaturals came home in body bags. It was utter chaos.Six years ago, I was but a girl who had mated with a king. A vampire king meant for more in the world. And my best friend, whom i had loved for most of my life. Six years ago, I was thrown into a cell and had my love taken from me. Ripped from my arms before I had the chance to fully explore its depths. A miracle w

The Vampire King and his Omega Epilogue
Caspian's Point of View People spoke in hushed whispers before me, waiting with bated breath for the new queen to arrive. They were our new court. Noble houses we had formed in order to keep the peace and prosperity. Wolves, humans and vampires alike. Julian had insisted we make houses for the humans as well, equality being his main concern. Luciana had insisted that if those houses were to be made, they had to come from war heroes, instead of old and greedy politicians. I chosen her side. Everyone was dressed to the maximum, with jewels flashing in the well lit hall. They all anticipated the arrival of their new queen, finally made public in an orderly fashion. Yet the queen wasn't here yet. Mikaela stood to my right. Julian sat in his throne beside her. The throne beside me stood empty and waiting. This was where history would be made. We were on the cusp of a new age and everyone knew it. Finally, the monsters from their dreams had come to light,
The Vampire King and his Omega Beginning of the End
Three years laterRoyals from all across the world had started settling into the palace. Flowers dripped from every surface around me as we welcomed the stuffy nobles. Staff members had prepared over a hundred rooms for this occasion. A hundred rooms all occupied by several members of our court. Several villas were also prepared deeper into the property for larger families.The war had finally come to and end. Brought about by my own hands and the hands of the ones closest to me. No one was more overjoyed than Sophie at the prospect of finally being able to settle down. We had finally gotten the incredible news last year that Ezekiel was indeed Sophie's mate, but they couldn't complete the ritual, as we were constantly away on missions. So we were finally granted a repieve from all the blood shed.A new treaty was signed a few months ago, declaring peace amongst all who had lost so much in this war. Peace. A powerful word that felt so fragile at
The Vampire King and his Omega New Beginnings
One Year Later Rain pelted the sides of the palace. December rain had come in full swing this year, leaving no stone dry. South African weather was unpredictable in that way. One moment there would be sweltering heat, the next, a flood could be washing away your trampoline in the back yard. We wouldn't have it any other way. To be back in our home was a blissful experience, but to know the next Valentine was on his way was even better. Mikaela was at the end of her pregnancy and we expected her to give birth any day now. Her belly stretched far out in front of her. Julian and Caspian couldn't keep their hands off of the growing bump the entire pregnancy long. Mikaela had resorted to swatting their hands away in an effort to maintain her personal space. Alas, that still wasn't enough. The Valkyrie had gone back to the battlefield only a few weeks ago, their vacations cut short by the growing threat of the humans. Sonja endured persistent peste
The Vampire King and his Omega Final Battle
Adrian was in the middle of the clearing, scowl deeply imbedded on his face. Everyone else was coated in blood by now, their weapons flying through the air, but he just watched in amazement. I caught the look of madness within his eyes when our eyes met. Trust him to be vain, even in battle. Too self-righteous to even fight his own battles. As if he was a god. The insanity of it all finally settled into my bones. We had sent thousands to their death. Thousands more would follow if I let him walk away from this. This needed to end here. End now. We couldn't call this a battlefield, it was more a massacre. His last resting place. "I wondered how long it would take you to kill Jasper." My father murmured and turned to face me. No remorse was evident. He couldn't see how mad he was. How insane all of this was. This had started off as a simple act of defiance on my part and had ended with both sides losing more than was necessary. Prophecy or not, I knew this was how it was all s
The Vampire King and his Omega Sweet Revenge
The trodding of feet soon turned to an echo as I sped up. Since the transition, my powers throbbed beneath my skin. Pulsing like a live wire. They couldn't keep up, even if they wanted to. Nothing would stand in the way of what I had to do, not even my mates. All was fair in love and war. Claiming my father's life was something only I was able to do. Something that needed to be done since the first day he had splayed me open. The direction was clear within my mind. A field filled with ant nests slowly came to view. Just within the opposite tree line, an army of men stood. No more than fifty people in total, but still more than I could handle all at once. A few had guns. The other held knives and bows in hand. They wouldn't know what hit them if I caught them off guard. Upon my approach, a scout yelled out to my father, standing at the lead of his group. Lines littered his face that weren't once there. Mother stood a ways back, her eyes never finding mine. The woman w
The Vampire King and his Omega Gone, Gone, Gone
Caspian's Point of ViewLuciana had stormed off, leaving a bitter taste in the air. You could cut the tension with a sword and still struggle to push the blade through. Sophie hadn't taken well to the outburst, cusses flying from her lips. Claire had wanted nothing more than to chase Luciana as she went, but I had stopped her, my hand clamping down around her arm.Luciana needed to be alone at the moment. Too many demons flew about within her mind and someone trying to pry them from her now would do more damage than just leaving her be. Facing her father had always been her end goal. The one monster she had to overcome before she was able to truly be free."What the fuck is her problem all of a sudden?" Reverie growled from next to Emory. All eyes had turned to face me. Some pierced my soul and I found myself unable to look them all head on. Only Sonja looked somewhat remorseful. She, too, understood what was eating at Luciana. From what I had g
The Vampire King and his Omega Words Unspoken
The day before I faced my father felt like any day other day. Julian had asked for all the staff back. Even the Valkyrie had obeyed his orders and returned without a silent complaint. No questions were asked about my sudden reappearance from the staff. But the Valkyrie was another question entirely. Julian had given them a run down of the situation as best he could, without revealing our daughter. We hadn't yet told them of Katharine. Didn't intend to until it was absolutely necessary. No one liked witches and I would do anything to protect my daughter. Her state of mind was extremely important to me, and witches deteriorated much faster, mentally, than any other species on the planet. Staff members dove through the house, cleaning away the last remnants of my second birth. One as a hybrid. Buckets of red were being thrown down drains, the last time I had noticed them cleaning. The Valkyrie had decided to train for the day and I had decided that I was desperately out
The Vampire King and his Omega Confessions
I didn't know where I was going, only that I had to get out of the house as fast as possible. The air inside had suffocated me for far too long. Katharine's hopeful face kept popping into my mind's eye and I couldn't ignore it for much longer. The burning in my chest. The fear of losing everything and everyone around me. Walls of iron wrapped around my heart and squeezed. Knees buckled as I saw the smile on my daughter's face. I had never feared death before. never needed to, until I had died. Until I had left behind everyone I had ever loved. Katharine had brought me back, but would she be able to when my entrails were outside of my body. Or my head was metres away from my body? Death had never felt as close as it had only a few hours ago. But I was to face it again in two days. Two days I could be spending with my family, happy and safely. The only thing was, part of my family was missing until I faced death again. Mikaela would be a stranger to me once we reunited, but sh
The Vampire King and his Omega Rockabye
"Mommy!" Katharine squealed as she dashed towards me. Chestnut hair trailed behind her in waves. The girl had dressed herself and it was evident. Sneakers closed around her feet whilst she donned a bright green dress. Yet the smile on her face was contagious, leaking onto my own lips as she drew closer. Somehow she had grown tremendously since I had last seen her. Even her eyes held a certain intelligence within them. As if she was more aware of the world than even I was. That was what it meant to be a witch. Intune with the world, whether she wanted to be or not. "Baby girl!" I squealed and bent down a little to grab her in my arms. Her tiny body was fragile beneath my new found strength. Every muscle beneath her dress tensed within my arms, then melted into nothingness. The feeling of having her in my arms kicked in, sending tears rolling down my face. Thick and hot. When was the last time I had held her like this? When was the last time I had bathed in her presence? My li
