Chapter 28
The sun was already making it's way to the sky and it would be time to commence the day of the coronation, the party would be in full swing but the duo hadn't solved the mystery yet,"Sheila, I think you should be with Arcadia at all times, and tell Asher not to leave her either, I would do this on my own." He rolls the scroll, "take care of my daughter, don't let anything happen to her."She nods and turns to the door, "would you be fine by yourself?" She knew it was a lot to handle but with the determination in his eyes, she knew he would be able to handle it. He nods and she walks out, going to her room to get dressed in the prettiest attire she had.As much as she wanted to lock herself in her room and cry about the love of her life, she had a duty to fulfill; to kill everyone that opposes the Queen."So today is her Coronation," Mace was dressing up as he spoke to Czar, who had been with him most of the time ever since Loki put his stChapter 29.He didn't know what to say; yes or no? But he wanted it, his heart was telling him to accept her proposal."Yes...." She is delighted at his answer but he still looked worried, "but I do ask one thing of you; That we do not rush this, I don't want us to make a mistake at the end of the day." His eyes avert from her gaze and though his words hurt her, she has to agree that he was only trying to be careful,"Very well, but you wouldn't limit me too much now would you?" Her hands travel to his lower region and he is highly nervous, "I would still have rights over you." She tugs at the hem of his trousers,"Your majesty!!" He jumps a distance away from her as he did he best to hide his embarrassment, "I said we should slow down!! Wh-wh-what are you doing?!" He coughs to revert back to his deep voice and not the highly pitched one that he used previously.She laughs him to scorn, "I'm still your Queen and if I wish I will do with you as I plea
Chapter 30Arcadia had been dolled up, she was excited that she would be crowned the Queen of the north, how she wished her mother was here to see her.She walks down the stairs with her best man, Asher, and he took pride in the beauty of his Queen. Everyone had gathered and the throne room was full. And so were Mace's men, waiting to attack and slay their target.They walked down the red carpet together and flowers are thrown at them to welcome them, she turns to him and she couldn't hide the smirk on her face,"Why are you smiling?" He bends to whisper to her, and she giggles to herself, "you're such a mystery your majesty." He shakes his head before stopping half way to the throne, "I believe this is where I leave you." He bows and excuses himself.She stands at the middle of the throne room, waiting to be crowned the Queen. The sage walks up to her and puts his hand on her head, she takes a small bow out of respect and smiles at him,"
Chapter 31All heads turn to see who challenged Beta Azeah, everyone froze as they saw Xerxes wearing his father's robe, a black fur robe that had been designed with diamonds and gold silk, he saddled his father's sword; the death bringer by his side as he held the scrolls and pieces of paper in his hands.He took his time to climb down the extravagant stairway and walk towards them,"She is your child, she doesn't deserve to sit on the throne!" Azeah spits at him while Xerxes rolled his eyes,"Have you forgotten that I am royalty??" The sudden revelation shocked everyone except for those who knew, her eyes began to shut and Asher rushes to hold her before she collapsed on the ground,"Be careful my Queen, I know you're shocked but pull together." He encourages her but her heart was already breaking,"What else did they hide from me?" She was pained to her bone, so many secrets,"I am the first and only child of king Fang and king Magnus wa
Chapter 32Music echoes throughout the palace as everyone is celebrating the Coronation of Queen Arcadia, she watched her subjects entertain her with music, dance and food and she felt a deep satisfaction in her heart.She had never been so happy before in her entire life."My Queen," she diverts her gaze to see Asher bent over, she laughs a little and asked him to rise, "do tell me something your majesty, do you think I'm lucky?" He starts with his riddles, she thinks for a while and gives a toothy grin,"I'm not entirely sure, but what do you think? Do you think you're lucky enough?" She throws the same question back and this gives him a hard time."Yes, I do think so. I just don't know how lucky I am." He smiles even wider, and he is seriously entertaining her,"Why don't you test your luck?" She advised him as she reaches for her glass of wine,"You're right, maybe I'm lucky enough to steal a dance with you." He smirks as she spat the l
Chapter 33Sheila jumps to action and slices her fan deep into one of the men's arms, "soldiers!!! Defend the Queen and Asher!! They must not touch them!!!" And with another swing of her fan, blood spills on her once innocent features.The other soldiers jump into the live battle and push back the attackers from Arcadia and the nearly unconscious Asher, she turns to his eyes, they were losing their glitter,"No, please, I can't lose another person." She is on the verge of tears and his lips curve into a small smile,"I have fulfilled my duty.....it's better I died than you did....." He has pronounced himself a dead man but she didn't want that, not too soon,"No!! Someone get a doctor!! Kill all of them!!! Do not spare any of them!!" She turns to her best man once more, his eyes were closing, "nothing would happen to you, I won't let this happen." Her tears finally burst forth and stain his face, she couldn't lose anyone anymore.She cri
Chapter 34The wind whistles in their ears and she moves her hair away from her face, she needed to hear the full story,"After my father passed away, Magnus, my step uncle began to rule and he made my life hell." He takes a deep breath, "I never looked at everything he took from me because I wanted to be the strongest there could ever be. I lived like a normal man, so I never felt like royalty." He takes a look at the star and tries to grab it,"Father always told me that I could hold the stars in my hands if I wanted to, I was the youngest but the strongest Beta by the time I reached the age of awakening," he turns to her, "then the war came. Magnus overpowered your mother's clan and slept with all of the women, using the excuse of finding his mate as a cover up." His words sink into her head, it was so obvious why her mother hated him with everything that was inside of her."..........." She still couldn't get the words out of her throat, she k
Chapter 35"Master!! Master!!" Czar runs to the throne room only to collapse on his knees, "Arcadia has been crowned Queen, she killed all our men!! I don't know what to do or say anymore, she is a demon!" He feigns fear and this angers his master, his head is bowed to the floor,"I thought you said she would be my captive by tonight!!" He growls, "how did this happen Czar?!! How!!?!" His unearthly yell makes the palace walls shake and Czar's head is still bowed to the ground."Forgive me Master, it was not how I expected it to turn out. She was supposed to be injured and dragged away from her palace after she would be prevented from becoming queen, but everything turned south." He raises his head finally, "it turns out that the late king actually willed his kingdom to Xerxes and not Magnus, Xerxes claimed the kingdom after discovering the truth and crowned his daughter Queen."Mace was seething with rage, "so she's finally Queen of the Nort
Chapter 36"Very well master." He bows before taking long strides out of the hall with Czar rolling his eyes to the back of his head,"I do not know why you agreed to this, she would only cause more trouble for us." He still stands on his point but Mace isnt paying attention to him anymore, he could feel Loki's pain as he hadn't been himself the last few days. From Sheila to the woman, he was dried emotionally but he kept it to himself.If this could give his brother a bit of pleasure then he could at least fulfil this demand of his. Loki had always fulfilled everything he had asked for, so he needed to return the favor.He comes back in, holding her by her shoulders and gently guiding her down the throne room. Her eyes was darting everywhere; taking in as much as she could. It was like she was a child trapped in a woman's body."Where are you taking me?" She demanded to know as she was starting to fear, "let's go back." She begs him bu
