Chapter 7
"I found them in Magnus' wardrobe, he knows we have an affair." She smiles a bit and this further confuses him, "they were with me until yesterday, so he must've found them and his nose-y attitude got the best of him." She laughs a little."Octavia are you serious right now? Is this a prank?? The king knows about us and you're laughing like nothing is wrong! You do know he can decide to kill us if he wishes to." He hurriedly arranged the letters until he sees one, a very familiar one, "does he know about Arcadia too?" His eyes widen in fear.The Queen of the kingdom nods like a happy child, she was enjoying the way the situation took a turn for the worse. "You can't tell me you're not the slightest bit worried love?" His eyes are wide in fear, he must've fallen in love with a mad woman. She bends to move close to his ear,"In fact at the moment we are being watched," her eyes sneak to a tree and he sees one of the palaceChapter 8"You're looking too beautiful today Octavia." The Queen praises herself as she did her hair, smiling at her mirror, her smiles disappears when the door to her room opens and she sees her husband staring at her with a grim look, "why welcome Magnus, you don't look too good? Are your ambassadors fighting again?" She laughs at her corny joke."Octavia I never expected this from you." His arms are crossed and he decides to close the door, she notices his gesture and she pulls her fan closest to her,"Neither did I Magnus, but if you can lie then so can I." She rises from her seat to look him straight in the eye, "I will not hide anything from you anymore but I will warn you, I will not hesitate to hang you on a tree if you do anything to my daughter or Xerxes." She snears at him."Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? You're a married woman and you're having an affair with someone who is younger than you with over 10 years, you're cheap and disgusting." He th
Chapter 9There was merry and laughter, her birthday preparations were in full swing, Arcadia would be 18 tomorrow and everything needed to be perfect. And apart from a birthday party there would also be a wedding. She was also getting married.Three men entered the palace looking like hot devils, all clad in black armour and welding heavy swords. One was particularly blond, almost a white blond, resembling Xerxes of some sort, his golden orbs were enough to take the light out of the room and his aura was cold and deadly.He was slender and built, he carried himself with a charisma that seemed to attract eyes to him, he had all the maids drooling, he must be the alpha she was getting married to.He sees the king and goes on his knee, "your majesty." He greets humbly and Magnus is delighted,"Czar, a wonderful surprise, I didn't know you would be so Early!" He lifts him up to embrace him, they both had wicked smiles on their faces,"A wonderful occasion
Chapter 10"Not one of us, but our master." They nod at each other, "he would be most happy to take you in, maybe then you would learn to keep your moth shut." He burns and his lackeys snicker at his comment,"I'm not surprised that something like that would escape your mouth, you don't look like the smartest anyway." She fans herself and one of the maid accidentally trips on hearing her statement, all of them gasped but quickly ran to do their work before they got fired.He was beyond embarrassed, and she has the proudest smirk on,"It's always good to know your place Arcadia, you're just a woman after all." He reminds her of her status in the wolf community, women are treated as objects, gifts, toys, that can be used anyhow the men please,"And I should remind you that a woman birthed you, and if she wished she would've killed you. We have the power of life and death, and if we want we would kill all of you." She smiles at them,
Chapter 11"Answer the question Magnus, what is the difference between a man and a woman? A paid of organs?" Her joke makes all the soldiers laugh, they have always known the Queen to be a very funny person, "cat got your tongue Magnus?" She smiles at him as she reaches the bottom,"And who are you to interfere in this matter Octavia?" He snorts at her,"I am the Queen of this Kingdom and Arcadia is my daughter!! Without me you wouldn't have built this Kingdom to where it is, show me some respect!" She commands it and there is a chill in the atmosphere, "she doesn't want your lame alpha, she would marry who she wants to marry and be happy with who she wants to be happy with." She stresses the last part for Magnus to know that she doesn't regret her actions. She doesn't regret Xerxes."You let your women run wild, giving them too much power, that's your mistake your majesty." Czar rolls his eyes,"Wolves like you fear unnecessarily, if you're as strong as you
Chapter 12Czar barges in and he is a walking volcano about to erupt, both men are concerned,"What is it czar?" Loki is the first to ask, "why are you so angry even though you're angry all the time?" Loki tries to soften the atmosphere but it wasn't working."It's Arcadia, that good for nothing princess just, she just, gahh!!" He kicks a chair off balance and they knew something was wrong,"She what? Does she already belong to someone?" Mace wanted to know, "tell me what happened to her??!!" He didn't want anyone to have her, she was his."She rejected you."The only thing that could be heard was the gasp that came out of a mouth, it was a maid that was bringing the food, she couldn't believe her Master had been rejected. Their eyes turned to her snd she quickly put the food down and ran back to her position, she was rather young, about 14, but she was going to be the one that would spread the gossip,"Are you s
Chapter 13"Octavia if you ever speak like this again I swear I will make you regret it." He pulls her ears so hard it began to turn pink, her eyes were teary due to the force,"Fine!! Don't take my ear, take something else!!" She manages to recover the organ before he ripped it out of her head,"I'll take something else alright." He jumps off the swing and pulls her with him, he lifts her to saddle her on his waist,"What are you doing?! You mad man!! Put me down!" She nags him but he isn't listening to her, he wasn't listening to her and he was taking her to his room, "Xerxes stop!! Stop!! I said—" he muffled her words before anyone saw them and when they were in his room, he dumps her on his bed and turns to lock the door, "what are you going to do to me?" She tried to gain her composure but she was a wreck.He doesn't say a word but he takes his clothes off to reveal an all too tempting body, a body she had never been able to get enough of,
Chapter 14 "Don't let her decieve you! She would kill you eventually!" Magnus tries to get his nephew on his side but it was futile, the look of anger that stained Xerxes face was unimaginable,"The only person that will die is you, only you. You will die the same way you killed my father." He lowers his guard and moves closer to his mate, "she killed your men for attacking me, I would kill you if this repeats itself ever again."Octavia couldn't help the smile that was on her face, and Magnus was a dumbfounded fool, all his sins had caught up to him,"You won't win this war, if this Kingdom burns then we would all burn with it!! Mark my words!!" He storms out and Octavia couldn't help but smirk,"My love, are you alright?" He kisses her forehead, "I thought I wouldn't reach you in time," he was so scared,"Your speed can never fail you and so will your love." She returns the kiss, she brings out a bottle from her dress, "give this to our da
Chapter 15"That's typical of your father, he's more of a coward than a king, I just want one thing from you," a long pause,"What is it mother?" She inches closer to her, "I would do anything you ask me to." The pleasant curving of her lips made her mother relaxed,"Do not hesitate to kill anyone that tries to oppose you; at this stage we're in it's kill or be killed. I know you'll make a fantastic Queen." She pulls her into an embrace."It feels like you're leaving me with all these words," she hugs her even tighter, "you never gave me my birthday gift, we couldn't even celebrate my birthday...." She wasn't happy, she had turned 18 two days ago and everyone was busy worrying about the war.Octavia gleams before pulling out her hands, and her flute appears out of a swirl of roses,"Happy birthday my gem, I hope you like it?" She smirks, for something that beautiful it was near to impossible that someone wouldn't at least like it.
