A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 79: Welcoming With A Surprise - Chris
There hasn’t been a dull moment since the coronation. Aulen returned and put up a permanent portal between Longsang and Invictus. Mei requested it be placed in a specific room in the palace so that it would be easy to find and prevent anyone from stumbling upon it by accident. My sweet, little Empress is a genius. Amelia followed her lead and requested the other side of the portal open inside the Temple of Morrtemis, again so no one would accidentally find it. Within days of the coronation, several members of the den packed up their belongings and came to live at Invictus. Their new homes aren’t ready yet so in the meantime, they’re staying in the guest house. Mei and I have been helping them to integrate into the pack. Some pack members – the troublemakers and the old-fashioned people – weren’t as welcoming to our new members, but they’re smart enough to keep their mouths shut. The rest of the pack, however, welcomed the nagata with open arms and have been helping them assimilate, es
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 80: Playtime and Decisions - Mei
I take a deep breath as I eye my target. Everything is resting on what happens next. One wrong move and it’s all over for me but I’m not about to let that happen. I’ve come too far to lose now. I watch as the puck glides quickly in my direction and with a quick flick of my wrist, I hit the mallet at the puck sending it across the table where it shoots right into the gap at the end of the table. I throw my arms up in victory and dance around. “Oh, come on!” Vitali exclaims, “There’s no way you’ve never played air hockey before. You’re a devious snake and I think you’re hustling me,” he accuses, pointing a finger at me. “What does hustling mean?” I ask, stopping my dance to look at him curiously. “It means he’s a sore loser,” Amelia teases from the couch where she and Marcus are cuddling. “I am not a sore loser, I just find it hard to believe that someone who claims to have never played air hockey has beaten every single one of us,” he says, narrowing his eyes at me. “I swear I’ve n
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 81: Letting Go - Mei
“Mei?” I hear Eric ask. I zone back into the conversation; I really need to learn how to stop doing that. “Sorry, Eric,” I say sheepishly. “It’s okay,” he assures me with a kind smile, “Now that I have your attention again, there’s something I wanted to ask you in today’s session.” “What’s that?” I ask curiously. “In the past couple months you’ve interacted with Irshiusts on numerous occasions, but you haven’t once thought to ask them what became of the Alpha and Luna of Albus Mons.” “That’s not a question,” I point out. “You’re right,” he smiles, “I’m just wondering why.” “Because I don’t want to. It’s not something I ever think about. They were brought to justice and can’t hurt me or anyone else again, I don’t need to know more than that.” “Does that mean you’ve forgiven them?” I feel taken aback by his question. Forgiven them? How can anyone who has done such monstrous things be forgiven? “Why would I do that?” I ask warily. “Forgiveness isn’t about the other person; it’s

A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 1: Nightmares - Mei
Hello! And welcome to the 2nd instalment in the main Queen Among series line-up. Before you dive in, it is important to know that understanding terms, character names, and certain events is dependent on having read book one before this. Each book in the Queen Among series meticulously weaves into each other and overlaps, so those moments will not make sense if read out of order. While I welcome all readers to join these characters on their journeys and even encourage them to continue on with the next generation series (Royal Shadow series) releasing upon the completion of the Queen Among series, I want readers to be able to have the reading experience they deserve, and reading this book before the others will impede that from happening. Now, I can't make you do anything, but I hope you take this into consideration before you begin. With that being said, on with the story! xo ADB_Stories ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter features abuse and offensive lang
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 2: A New Woman - Mei
Looking in the mirror I’m still surprised by the woman who looks back at me. It’s been a few months since I came to the Invictus Pack and the changes in me are more than obvious. My dark, wavey brown hair is now thick and glossy instead of greasy and matted with dirt and dry blood.Chris had the former Gamma female – Evalyn’s mother-in-law – come in and treat my hair to get it looking decent again. It took her hours, but that was only part of the work.My diet has significantly improved since being here, which has not only improved the health of my hair but the rest of me too.The Mei from months ago was skin and bone. My skin almost looked translucent; covered in bruises with veins and bones sticking through the skin. I rarely saw my reflection but when I did it was terrifying. Now my skin has a peachy hue to it and looks healthy and my bones are hidden under skin and muscle where they belong. My brown eyes – that for years were dark and lifeless – now shine a warm chocolate colour.
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 3: Panic & Solace - Mei
After Amelia’s announcement we join training but as time goes on the excitement I had, started to wear off and panic began to take over. I’m not good with meeting new people, now I’m going to meet a new person who is much stronger than I am. What if I say or do something wrong? She’s going to teach me more about my species, but what if it’s bad news? What if she tells me I don’t belong in a pack and I need to leave? A million thoughts are running through my head each making me more panicked than the one before. A headache is forming, a new layer of heat is spreading through me bringing a coat of sweat making my skin feel clammy and it has nothing to do with training. My heart is hammering, and the speed is making my chest ache. My ears are burning, and I feel as though my insides are about to explode while simultaneously feeling like I’m being crushed by an invisible weight. My body shakes with adrenaline and a feel the sting of tears in my eyes. I’m trying to calm down but all I ca
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 4: Setia - Mei
If Chris weren’t holding my hand right now I think I would pass out. We’re standing on the front steps of the packhouse; him in black slacks, a grey dress shirt with three buttons open with the sleeves rolled up and a black vest over the top; his hair up in its usual bun. He looks so powerful and handsome that just having him beside me fills me with confidence. I’m dressed in wine-coloured, high-waisted bootcut culottes with three silver buttons running down the left and right of the waist. I also have a white three-quarter sleeve low scoop-neck top tucked in, black ballet flats and my hair clipped back in a half up-do. I’m so nervous that my palms are sweating. Chris leans down and kisses the top of my head and inhales my scent, “Your heart sounds like you just ran a sprint, take slow breaths,” he encourages me as he wraps his arm tighter around me. I nod and focus on breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. I wipe my hands on my pants to get rid of the sweat. “What
