All Chapters of Claiming His Queen : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

[RUNE]The human moaned behind him, "Where are you dragging me to? I learned Tae Kwando, you know.""Lily, even if you did, you won't be able to implement anything being this skinny, so shh shh." He rolled his eyes,"Hey! Do not..." But even with the words she spewed, she never physically resisted being pulled away. He smiled discreetly. She was so simple. "Don't act like I'm taking you to the guillotine; it's just breakfast.""I can have it in my room, you know," she whimpered as the dining table came into view, "Rune, you know what? I'm not even hungry, aw Rune.""If I didn't know better, I'd think you're frightened of seeing someone in the Manor" That she was behind him made it easier to pull that off. The sly tone reached his voice when her wrist went rigid in his hold. "Or are you?""O-of course not," she stuttered as he pushed her down on a chair in front of an already-filled plate, "W-why would you say that?"Enough reasons, the manor was in a mess since her encounter with Ad

"FUCK DAMNIT!" Rune yelledAdler's brows lowered, turning to find Rune dipping his burnt thumb into his mouth, sucking on it.Shaking his head, Adler returned to set the heat in the oven, and his eyes squinted, lost in the work. Done, he sighed, and with his apron, he wiped his flour-covered hands.The cooks who had been overthrown and pushed aside gave each other nervous glances, their fingers fidgety as they watched their bosses tend to the burners and stir-fried and steam.Adler holding up a jar of pepper, gazed into the recipe book, trying to make sense of the tiny writing, shrugging he dumped the whole content of the jar into the steaming pot."Man" Rune was on his heels, standing with his back towards Adler; he peered into the pot, then picked up the recipe book, "It says just half a spoonful, and here's the heat in hell," his voice trailed when he began coughing, "Man no human can eat this."Coughing and struggling with the overwhelming spiciness of the dish, Rune quickly grabb

[RUNE]He was used to getting hit for his mistakes, or what they told him was his mistake, to the extent he often wanted it—needed it.Got a couple of teeth knocked out as a result, and he would dare anyone to point out the fake dental.Now held up with his arms by two other soldiers behind him, head hung and mouth coated with blood, he tried to focus, focus on the legs in front of him, pacing his room."You think you're something, don't you, little shit?" Domenico's voice was hard to keep track of. Even his view was gradually getting impaired. "Again," the voice was calm, but the command carried dread.When the fist slammed into his mid region for the hundredth time, Rune shut his eyes, teeth clenched firmly against each other, refusing to let gasps out.Knees unable to hold him up, he slowly slid down, but the firm grip of the men behind him had him up again.'No more, please no more,' he pleaded in his head, knowing Boss Domenico was one to end his life if he was to hear any plea

[ADLER]He couldn't explain why the day had begun in darkness, eyes flashing open, and he felt it, breathed it in, the feeling of loss surrounding him, closing him in, intent on smashing him to pieces.It had to be because it was the beginning of a new week, the week his mother was stolen from him, right before his eyes, the bullet searing past his face and burying itself into her head.And that was why his bones suddenly felt heavy, why he was hallucinating so hard. He had seen her everywhere. Standing in front of the sink, he saw her in the mirror.He caught a glint of her making a turn in the manor, up the stairs. He thought he had seen her during the gun trade some hours ago, where he had inadvertently opened fire.The result of his frustration wasn't pretty, and he knew it wasn't all because of the double-crossing. It was because each time he caught sight of his mother, each time she turned and smiled at him, she faded away.All he could do was stay still, watching the storm take

RUNES.That the first sensation he had woken up to was a bout of headache showed how much the invisible being that ruled the universe hated him.He meant, wasn't it enough making him easy to be picked on, a mouth that always got him knocked out, the drop-dead gorgeous face that ladies couldn't resist?What were the curses for? He didn't ask to be born.Paradise would be waking to a blow job while chained to a bedpost, but then it was too much for the universe to answer his fucking prayers.Apart from this location not resembling his room, which was the sole threshold to fulfilling his prayers, it was evident that such a scenario would never transpire. As he attempted to wipe his eyes using his right hand's thumb, the jingling of chains echoed alongside his every motion.His eyes flew open, a bad mistake. The ache found its way deep into his skull that, unable to take anymore, he fell back on the bed, cursing."Welcome back, Rune..."Despite Rune's curiosity hitting hard, he knew bett
