ABEL EVERHART'S POV

My heart beats wildly as I lay still on the bed, a folded piece of the silk sheet covering my eyes and another piece tying my wrists to one of the golden bars that make the bed's headboard. If the candles are still lit I cannot tell, but nothing is more evident to my senses than her Majesty's presence right next to me.

Her fingers brush the side of my face, then my lower lip. My punishment hasn't hurt so far, but again, it hasn't began.

I feel the warmth of her breath clos

  • A King Slave For The Badass Alpha Queen    Alpha Queen's Claim

    Abel's POVGuards snap to attention as I pass with with my hesitant, wide-eyed family."So every member of our cruel family is dead except us? What happened to your father's werewolf Queens?" my mother whispers the question."His favourite son, Elon, had them executed in a sick game to entertain himself and assert dominance. Even the Empress was disgusted by his cruelty," I tell.She shakes her head, looking astounded. "Power and wealth are the worst tests a family can face. Look what it did to this Kingdom.""It granted the people a wiser leader," I argue.She smiles. "I am glad you're not among the dead ones."I am yet to ask her about their life outside the kingdom. Her Majesty didn't say anything about. But I would like to discuss such privately as I am curious to know who my sister's father is and not in her presence."This place is too big and full of servants," my sister chirps. She isn't walking so much as bouncing. "Do you and the Empress ever get lost?"I smile. "I knows eve

  • A King Slave For The Badass Alpha Queen    The Ceremony

    ABEL EVERHART'S POVThere is a bigger crowd today than there was during Elon's ceremony. Many have come to watch his head roll, especially royals he offended who even brought their families. The line of those who are dying with him is long. The former pampered councilmen and Elon's allies.I do not see the creature that Cara turned into and I feel thankful because who knows if it can speak. I was afraid that it would beg me for help, and confirm all the stories going around, that I was a slave whose heart was torn between a servant girl and his Mistress. I didn't want my mother and sister to witness more brutality and punishments on their first day here, so I asked a few entertainers keep them entertained inside the palace until the ceremony is over. I am sure they can ear the screams of those about to face execution though, as none seem to have the courage to quietly take the very thing that they put thousands of humans through.The crowd spit on them as they are dragged towards the

  • A King Slave For The Badass Alpha Queen    Meeting Family

    ABEL EVERHART'S POV My mother's eyes widen when she notices me. She gapes for a long moment, looking uncertain who it is. I wouldn't blame her, I was only five when she was banished. How would she recognize me?Still she stares, clearly curious. "Abel . . . your Majesty," she mumbles in low tone. "Yes mother, it's me," I say."Oh Lord! Yes . . . look at you!" she exclaims, marching forward and dragging my sister with her. "You have grown so tall . . . and more Good-looking than any man. Is all I have heard true?" She stands on her toes to wrap her hands around my shoulders. I hug her back. "Mother you should . . . ask permission to hug him. He is a royal," my sister cautions. "It's alright, honey. This is your brother, the one I have been telling you about. He is not like other royals," mother dismisses. "Come on, hug him," she urges, stepping back and pushing her daughter forward. The girl is hesitant. So I step closer and hug her. She smiles as she leans her head on my chest.

    "He is alive. I just wanted to know for sure that you knew him," her Majesty reveals. I sigh in relief. At least not all of my friends are dead. "You should get to the bathroom and clean up the filth of the dungeons. You're still my consort," she orders. I am back to that too. Uncertain if her sweet attention is real or pretense once again. I get of the bed and walk to the bathroom. I too wanted to feel a little less filthy. I spent days sleeping on a cold, dirty floor. I bath and rub fine oils on my skin, except on the skin of my back which stings. I return to the bed, a towel wrapped around my waist. I start to make my way towards the closet but she stops me, orders that I lay on the bed without the night robes. She gets some oils from the closet and rubs on the red marks on my back. Even now, my body foolishly finds her touch quite lulling. * * * * * * *ABEL EVERHART'S POV I get off the bed and notice the presence of two maids in the room. One cleaning the floor, the othe

  • A King Slave For The Badass Alpha Queen    The Bitter Truth

    ABEL EVERHART'S POV The servants and the guards hurry out as soon as her Majesty steps into the room. Her expression is stern, but it shifts to that of concern as soon as she strides closer. I don't even know what to say to her. I no longer know what is true or false anymore. Her fingers touch my chin tilts my head up, forcing me to look at her face. "You're looking better. More food will bring life back to your eyes," she says as if nothing happened. "I thought you wanted me hungry and dead. You just changed your mind?" She lets go of my chin and brushes hair back from my face. "I wasn't in my right mind. Did you know that the old Oracle was Cara's mother?" What?! That cannot be. We never talked about Cara's family, but she would have let me know if her mother was that dark Oracle. On the other hand, she seemed to know a lot about magic items and how the crown works. Where else would she have gotten such knowledge. If that were the case, then she might have been seeking the
