All Chapters of The Fated Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Soft groans echoed around the room. Bodies draped over one another. Skeletal deformities. Whimpers and last gasps before death took hold. Black mist blanketed the ground. Tendrils snaked over and under the corpses at her feet. Tangled in the cold stench of death. Another last breath. Life faded from a young Dark Witch's eyes. Dark energy pulsed from within her body, circulated from her and into Karmina. Slowly, she drank the life essence from the young Witch. Just as she did with the others. In the dim light of a flickering candle, color returned to her sickly pale skin. Her fingers that held this Witch's throat swelled up with blood. She let the body fall amongst the others. Death came swiftly to her, unlike the many that still groan and whimper for mercy. Such devote followers. Such weak creatures. If not for their devotion, however, she would still be locked away in that damned forsaken prison. Guarded by Asmodeus' guard dog of a son, Zalakai. Yes. She knew who he was. How could

A trembling motion stirred the young Wolf pup awake. She sat up quickly, still half asleep. Another rumble. An earthquake? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness quickly. Everything remained as they were. Pictures hung on the walls. Figurines stationary on shelves. Yet the tremor occurred a third time. Inside her head. It was minor the first two times, which had confused her that an earthquake was taking place. "Dad?" Myra called out nervously. She rolled herself out of bed and made her way to her bedroom door. "Dad!" "Myra." Her father's grovel voice reached her from down the hall. She peered down to his bedroom door, where she found Jayce leaned up against his doorframe for support. "Dad?" Alarms went off in her head. She sensed that something was off with him. Especially with her mother in the hospital again. They did not give her many details about the situation, but it wasn't rocket science. Her mother was changing. She has always sensed that since her brothers were born. Lily wa

It had been a week since Lily collapsed into a coma. The media hadn't caught wind of it yet, thankfully, so her father could be with her in peace. Although, some questions raised during that time about where she was. Her mother missed several meetings and was questioned about her lack of attendance. Her grandmother was able to put a stop to that before it could get out of hand next. Grandpa Derrick and her Uncle Elias have been keeping her and her brothers' company while her father visited her mother frequently. She didn't quite understand the Mate Bond yet, aside from the sacred link behind it. As desperate as she wanted to see her mother, she knew she needed to stick close to Zyrus and Sylar. To protect them. Just as her father asked her to do. "Myra, darling?" Penelope spoke up from beyond her door. "Come down for breakfast, dear. Your father cooked your favorite." The sound of Penelope's heels clicked against the tile as they faded from the door. Myra zipped up her backpack afte

She didn't know what came over her. First she was at Leto's temple, then she met Azura. Everything was a blur afterwards. A howl that pierced her ears. Pain that twisted her bones. The sudden urge to bolt. She had control, yet she didn't. The soil and grass beneath her paws were soft. Dirt kicked up behind her. Trees meshed together as she darted past. The smells. Everything correlated into one cloud of complex scents she couldn't differentiate. The sounds. Birds chirped in the higher branches as she ran under them. Squirrels scurried up tree trunks to evade her path. Rabbits hid under the shadowed brush. They stayed clear of her. Lily! Jayce's voice shouted in her head. Fear took her. Her legs carried her faster. How will he take it? Her change? God, what if she was repulsive to him? Lily! Slow down!In the distance behind her, she heard him. His enormous paws trailed after her. Closing the gap between them. She jumped out past the tree line into a clearing. A shallow stream se

Why does it have to be me? Rayleigh sat across from Lily in her office. It seemed to be the only place she had some decent privacy from her children. As expected, the newfound power within Lily had caused a disturbance amongst the Pack. Jayce reassured her he would handle it for her while she occupied herself with the others. No one was blind to his distaste for the turn of events. More so aware of his seething rage for her new set of responsibilities. No longer just his Queen and wife, but the savior for all. Supernatural and Mortals alike. However, Rayleigh had little to no hope for Lily's progress considering how late in the game she unleashed her Wolf spirit. Yet, everyone else can see the light at the end of this damned tunnel aside from herself. "I know." Lily spoke up suddenly, taking Rayleigh by surprise. The blonde woman had her gaze on the floor. "I don't feel confident about this either." Rayleigh hadn't spoken out about her true feelings on the matter, but perhaps Lily
