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

Orians P.O.V. After leaving the ladies to catch up in Rain's room, I walk across the hall to Zions Suite. As I get to the door, I knock and wait for him to call for me to come in before entering and making my way to his suite office to the right of the entrance, hearing giggling and then the sound of a laptop closing. When I get to his office, I sit in the chair across the desk from him with a knowing smile. "What?" Zion says after a moment. "When will you be talking to her yourself instead of getting me to do it or simply watching the security footage? I ask. "What makes you think I've been watching?" He asks. "I heard the same giggling from Rains' room also coming from your office when I walked to your door," I said with amusement laced in my voice. "Is she really your mate?" "I really can't get anything past you, can I?" He laughs. "And yes, it would seem so. Either that or she has put a love bond spell on me. I've been racking my brain, but that's

I wake up from a nightmare. I vaguely remember the details. Rogues, witches, vampires, and what I assume are dark elves are attacking Odette and me. I sit up in the bed. And for a second, I almost panic before I realize where I am and that Odett is still asleep beside me. It's so strange because the dream felt so real. I look over to the bedside table and find the small alarm clock. It's 7:47 A.M. I decide to run Odett a warm bath before breakfast. Walking into the bathroom, I see a bottle of bubble bath sitting on the counter, so I pour a little in after starting the water. Once the tub is about halfway, I turn the water off and walk over to the bed to gently wake Odett. "Come on, sweet love. It's time to get up and start your day. I have a nice warm bubble bath ready for you." I say to coax her out of the bed. "Yes, ma'am." She says in such a sweet little voice, and I can't help but smile. She spends about half an hour playing with the bubbles before I get her out. I brus

It's been two days since Rain got attacked, and she still shows no signs of waking up. The doctor keeps saying she will wake up when she's ready, but it makes me nervous. What if she doesn't want to wake up? What if she's decided to give up? I'm not sure I could handle that, knowing I'm the reason she got attacked. I need her to wake up. I need her to know how sorry I am for everything. "Zion, sorry to disturb you, but the witch the coven sent is here," Sam says, pulling me from my thoughts. "Show her in," I say as I sit up, checking her vitals on the monitor on the other side of her bed. "My King, This is Lady Lana, Second Witch of the Sylver Nyx Coven," Sam says as he guides her to the couch. I walk over to her and shake her hand before sitting in the chair across from her. "I was under the impression I would be meeting a new witch and assisting her with her magic training." She says, getting straight to the point. "Her name is Rain, and she's lying in the bed right ov

Rains' P.O.V. "Rain, wake up, my child." I hear a heavenly voice say as I feel like I'm floating. Opening my eyes, I realize I'm back in the darkness again. I look around, my eyes falling on Dosha, my beautiful silver wolf, and then on a gorgeous woman standing next to her, tall and slender, with an aura of the moon radiating off her. She has to be a goddess! I think to myself. "Hello, my dear, I am the moon Goddess. I'm sorry for everything You have been through. Unfortunately, it was all necessary for you to experience those events to prepare you for what's to come." She says, and I'm completely lost. "I don't understand. What's to come?" I ask. "What do I need to be prepared for?" "I'm sorry, my daughter, all things will become clear soon, but we don't have the time for me to explain right now. You have people waiting on you to wake up. Including your true mate." She says, and with that, she disappears, and it's just Dosha and me now. "How long hav

Rains' P.O.V. As I lay in bed, I heard the door open and close. A minute later, I heard footsteps walking towards me, and I could smell the most amazing scent I recognized instantly from the shirt I was in when I woke up in the cell. "Our mate has known about us but hasn't made himself known to us? Is he planning on rejecting us?" I asked Dosha. "I don't know. Maybe our mate has chosen to give us time to recuperate." She answers. "I guess. Maybe he will be nicer about it than Ian was." I say, and she agrees. I hear him talk to Odett, telling her to be quiet for me, and I want to cry. I'm not sure if it's the sound of his voice or how gently he's speaking to Odett, But it's breaking my heart knowing he will be rejecting me soon. "I wish Jess was here," I tell Dosha.********************************** Jessicas' P.O.V. After deciding that we would take turns sitting with Rain so she wouldn't be alone when she
