A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 10: Her Touch - Axel
What a day this is shaping out to be! Life as a wolf spirit is pretty great. You get to chill all day; you always have a friend to talk to, sometimes you get to socialise with other wolf spirits and it’s always a good day when I get to take my natural form and let my fur out. It’s a mostly stress-free life, and the best part? I get gifted a soulmate for just existing. How awesome is that?! And oh, what a soulmate she is. Was I disappointed I didn’t get a wolf to mate with? Yeah, I was, I won’t lie. Chris and I had been planning and waiting our whole lives to meet our fated one, so I did feel I drew the short straw in not getting someone for myself but that only lasted maybe a few seconds. I instantly fell in love with Mei, and I trust Zarseti. In fact, I think I understand why she paired us with Mei. Our Sweet One has had a life no one should ever have; she’s been hurt in so many ways – believe me I wanted to rip out the throats of everyone in that Gods forsaken pack – and I think t
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 11: Sitting Back - Chris
I went from having a beautiful morning with Mei to getting my ass supremely handed to me during training. I got paired with Marcus and he was being particularly brutal today; he’s an absolute beast when it comes to fighting. On the bright side, it’s nice to know our pack has two such strong powerhouses to protect it, plus it wasn’t entirely his fault I got my ass kicked so much, I admit I was extremely distracted. Mei was facing off against Amelia – as usual. When we have pack training, Mei only spars against Amelia, because no one else is strong enough to take her on. She only spars with others if she’s helping to coach them on how to take on a stronger opponent. Basically, I neglected to defend against several of Marcus’ attacks because I couldn’t take my eyes off Mei. The way she moves is so lithe and majestic. You would have no idea how new she was to fighting unless she told you, she acts like she’s been doing this her whole life and her style doesn’t even look like she’s fight
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 12: Everyone's Talking About Mei - Mei
I don’t know what came over me earlier. I wouldn’t call it snapping, as I wasn’t angry. I suppose the best word is resentful. I felt resentful of Jane. I don’t personally know her, but Chris has told me plenty when he was warning me about people to avoid in the pack. Jane isn’t a ranked wolf or the daughter of a ranked wolf, but her father is a very wealthy man, allowing her family to be very wealthy as well. I don’t remember what he said he does for a living, but either way, it has allowed him to provide very nicely for his family. Jane is someone who has been handed everything in life. She hasn’t had to struggle or fight for anything, and instead of being grateful for what she has, it has made her feel that she is entitled to even more. She bullies and degrades others because she feels superior to them. She feels strong and happy when she is making others feel weak and miserable. Those were the kind of people who tormented me day in and day out at the Albus Mons Pack. If I was st
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 13: Thief In The Night - Mei
I felt Tyson and I accomplished a lot today. We figured out the patrol schedule and then we had lunch in his office while he taught me more about what pack security entails. We discussed future training routines, with him letting me in on some of his ideas. There’s another sensory course coming up where the pack will once again have to learn how to not rely on their sense of smell. They were all so impressed the first time I participated in this, but I didn’t feel I deserved their praise. I admitted to my friends and Chris that even though my nose was plugged I could smell everything perfectly fine through my mouth – actually I smelt everything much easier. I thought they’d accuse me of cheating, but they seemed to think it was really cool. Overall, I’m feeling really good. I was going to go and visit Chris in his office, but he told me through the link that he’s busy having meetings with the contractors who are building the new pack expansions, regarding some financial matters. I de
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 14: His Fears - Chris
The downside of dealing with human contractors is I can’t punch them in the face when they act like condescending assholes. I have been on the phone to these morons for longer than I’d like, and they think because we’re a little ‘village’ in the middle of nowhere that we’re hicks or something. As the person in charge of pack finances, let me just say we are a very lucrative pack, and we could buy and sell their stupid company ten times over if we wanted to. I plan to talk to Amelia about these guys so she can maybe consider hiring a different crew because I know for a fact she would not want to be associated with people who have this kind of attitude with their clients. It’s just bad business. But if they want to risk a hell of a payday, that’s on them. 'I’m heading up to your office, so you better let me in,' comes my sister’s usual bossy voice through the link. It’s always the short people who are the bossiest. Maybe it’s a complex. I get up from my desk and open the door to my

I smile shaking my head, but Amelia does have a point. That was a lot of power that came out of Mei today, all triggered because for a brief moment Jane made Mei feel the way that disgraceful pack did. I wonder what it will be like at full strength. 'Come on, let’s go take Amelia’s advice and go back to the suite and put something nice together for Sweet One, and hopefully finish what we started in the tub this morning,' says Axel, wagging his tail. 'I’m going, I’m going. Since when are you so bossy?' 'Uh, since we met the love of our life, duh,' he says, rolling his eyes. I just smile, shaking my head. I get up, save all my documents, shut down my computer and head back to my suite. Mei deserves something romantic. She loves food, so I’ll start by making her something delicious. I roll up my sleeves, head over to the kitchen area and get to work on making chorizo carbonara. It’s one of my specialties and I know for a fact Mei loves it. She usually goes through three or four help
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 16: Rising Anger - Chris
I sit in the corner of the hospital room; its lights have been turned down because they were hurting Setia’s eyes – which were also burned. Time seems to have gotten away from me. I haven’t been paying attention to anyone or anything. Axel isn’t talking, he’s just curled up in a ball weeping. I’d join him, but instead, I’ve been focusing so hard on trying to reach Mei, but still nothing. I’m not giving up though. My senses return to me when I hear an airy voice yell Setia’s name. I look up as a woman with chestnut hair, and glittering latte skin walks into the room in basic pyjama pants and a tank top. I recognise her, she was the Delegate who stopped Alpha Ivan from killing Mei – Defne. She rushes to Setia’s side, a look of deep concern on her face as she begins speaking to her. I can’t understand what she’s saying though; I don’t speak the language of the Gods. A moment later another woman enters the room. She’s the same height as Defne at 5’5”, but she has creamy white skin and lo
A Queen Among Snakes Chapter 17: Zixin - Mei
I’ve experienced all types of pain in my life, but this is entirely new. I feel like I’m waking up without remembering falling asleep, but even though I feel my senses returning, my eyes just don’t want to open and I’m not sure I want them to either. My entire body aches in a way I can barely put into words. At best, I’d describe it as though my blood has been replaced with lead and I’m being crushed by my own blood. My blood hurts. That doesn’t even make sense. The pain just doesn’t feel as though it’s in my muscles or bones but in my very blood. I know there are no pain receptors in blood but this is the best way I can describe it. “I’m glad you’re finally waking up,” I hear a smooth voice say. I can sense someone moving and sitting beside me. I then feel cool fingers brush my hair from my face. I want to move away from their touch, but my body is too heavy. All I manage is a groan of protest. “Sh, I know it hurts. It’s only temporary, but it’s for the best.” I’m starting to remem
