Four outlined figures stand before me. The outline of two wolves flanked by two nagata. Tyson and Mei on the right and Eric and Qiang on the left. I stand patiently waiting for them to make their move. I don’t have to wait long as Tyson and Eric’s wolves Angel and Amo charge at me, but with perfect speed, I leap and flip over their massive bodies as they try to catch me in their jaws. Just as my feet touch the ground the aura of two giant snake tails are flung in my direction. I jump and spin my body managing to narrowly pass between both tails. Once again as my feet touch the ground, Angel and Amo run at me, but this time Angel coming from the front and Amo coming from behind. I duck down into a split and allow both wolves to collide with one another, resulting in their whines and snarls. Gods how I love training. I roll out of the way, only to see a large tail being swung down at me. I quickly raise my arms and block the attack just as the tail makes contact. I can feel the force t
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 60: Another Perspective - Yildiz
As I make my way back to the packhouse following specific scents and sounds, two voices catch my attention more than the others.“Why are you doing all this, Jane? Isn’t housework beneath you? Isn’t that what you used to mock the packhouse staff for?” the male voice spits in disgust.“I was wrong, I know that I was wrong and I’m trying to make up for that. That’s why I started working here. I’m trying to be a better person,” she says sadly. There’s so much pain in the young woman’s voice.“If this is so I’ll accept you...”“You rejected me, and I accepted it because I wanted to respect your wishes. I would love nothing more than for you to give me a chance, but I won’t force you. Whether you give me a chance or not I’m still going to keep working here, it doesn’t stop me from wanting to be a better person. I’ve hurt a lot of people and I have to make up for the pain I’ve caused,” she says more confidently. Truth rings out through every word she says. I’m not sure what she has done in
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 61: Calling a Truce
Oshmin POV As I stand at the front steps of the 2.5-acre compound, I continue to debate whether or not to go through with this. Habit tells me to turn around and never return, but a small voice in my mind – that these days has begun to sound like Yildiz – is telling me to man up and do what I came here to do. Being the bigger person has to be one of the most soul-sucking, mentally taxing things a person can do. You have to squash down every impulse, every reflex, every desire, all in the hopes that in doing so, you can resolve a conflict. And it’s not as though you do it because you are trying to help the person you’re in conflict with, you just hope that this will be a hail Mary and the shit might finally stop. One step at a time I walk up the steps to the front door and knock ever so gently on the double doors. Within moments the door opens, and I’m once again met by the face of someone who I have come to hate with a passion, but I have to ignore those feelings today. “What the
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 62: The First Step
Oshmin POV With us now having an agreed truce in place, I move on to my next task. I let my energy reach out into the universe and search for Yildiz and once I find her, I transport myself directly to her location. My breath catches in my throat as I look over and see her standing in a kitchenette chopping up vegetables. Her laugh is suddenly cut off the moment I appear. She looks even more beautiful than I remember, and my memory is impeccable. She’s wearing a grey, ribbed bodycon bodysuit with a cut out in the chest and is wearing loose, grey sweatpants with pockets down the sides. Her thick, wavey black hair is up in a tight bun leaving her gorgeous face fully exposed for me to see. Her eyes are cast down and she’s frozen in place, yet it doesn’t stop the golden glitter embedded in her mocha skin to twinkle and sparkle, enchanting me like the firefly she is. “Who in the hell are you?” booms a voice dripping with power and authority. I only now notice the two people in the kitche
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 63: The Full Story - Yildiz
It’s taking my all to remain centred right now. Oshmin is standing before me with that stunning blood-red aura with its flecks of dancing silver as his otherworldly scent that tastes like the galaxy exploding on my tongue crashes over me like a tidal wave. It’s been days since we last spoke, and I’m grateful for that. As much as I missed him and wanted to get the answers to all my questions, we needed time apart. No problem is solved through silent treatment; being an ice queen will get me nowhere, but time to process and calm down and allow for cooler heads is necessary. Thousands of years working in conflict resolution and now I’m the one with the conflict. How the tables have turned. I walk over and sit down on the bed, “I’m listening.” He sighs and sits down beside me, “My name is Oshmin,” he begins, and I can hear the nerves in his voice, “I am known as the God of Life and Death because I wield power over such, I am billions of years old, too old to give you an exact number. Ma
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 64: The Full Story Continued - Yildiz
We sit in silence for a few minutes just taking in everything that’s been said and adjusting to each other’s company. It’s not as tense as I’d expect. Even in a sombre situation like this, his presence still brings me a sense of peace and calm. “So, how much do you hate me?” he suddenly asks cautiously. I blink rapidly, stunned by the question, “What? I don’t hate you. I never hated you,” I answer in bewilderment. “You don’t?!” he exclaims in disbelief. “Of course, I don’t. I’m hurt and angered and saddened by what you did, but I don’t hate you. That’s extreme. Hate is a strong emotion, and toxic. I love you; I don’t hate you. I just hate what you did, and that’s completely different.” “You really don’t hate me?” he asks with uncertainty. I roll my eyes. Come on, he knows I’m physically unable to lie. “If you’re so convinced I somehow found a way to lie, then read my mind. You can, can you not?” I ask with a raised eyebrow. “I… um, yes,” he says sheepishly, rubbing the back of
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 65: Through Her Eyes
Oshmin POV I can’t believe I’ve spent five full hours trying to decide what to wear for dinner at the Kartheca tonight. Yildiz implied this wouldn’t be a casual event, since it’s not every day the Delegation gets to have a God over for dinner. You’d think my being a God would mean I’m not nervous about meeting a large number of beings who are technically inferior to me, but I assure you I’m nervous as hell. That’s ninety-nine judgemental sisters ready to summon the wrath of every wronged woman on planet earth if they deem me unworthy of their sister, and knowing Zarseti she’d just back them up. The stakes have never been higher at a meet-the-family dinner. I’ve opted for a black button down – leaving a few buttons open – and black slacks along with black dress shoes and an off-white suit jacket. I’m also adding a black handkerchief into my jacket pocket just to pull the whole thing together. I think the look says, I’m comfortable but also taking the occasion seriously. Or at least I
A Queen Among Blood Chapter 66: Dinner with the In-Laws
Oshmin POV She wraps her elbow around mine and escorts me out of the door. This is a literal case of the blind leading the blind as Yildiz navigates our way through the Kartheca effortlessly, since I don't know my way around, before arriving at two gigantic doors. I can hear the voices inside that have now dropped to a whisper as we began to approach. Yildiz is right, people who can speak telepathically should just do so and save themselves the embarrassment. Yildiz pushes open one of the doors and guides me into the vastest dining hall I’ve ever seen. Pristine white marbled floors, with square marble pillars lining either side of the lengthy room. The spaces between the pillars are open and blanketed by curtains of white chiffon that dance gently in the breeze from outside. The vaulted ceiling is intricately carved and depicts the origins of every single supernatural being that exists. There are carved statues of women powerfully posed at the top of each pillar and it takes me a mo
