“Stay strong? Stay…?”

Unchecked tears slipped down Athena's face as she read the message over and over again.

“You don't need me, he says. 'I want to be there for you; just allow me,' he says. Yet the one time I need him. The one time I really…”, her eyes sparked furiously, the anger drowning her growing weakness since Larissa gave her the second dosage of her medication.

She dialled his number immediately, her toes unconsciously tapping against each other as she held the phone to her ear.

The number you dialled is switched off! The tinny voice said so gleefully that Athena raised her hand to launch the phone hard against the wall.

She thought better of it as her hand tightened painfully around her phone.

“I am not ruining anything because of him,” she gritted out as she swiped at her tears with the back of her palm.

“You coward! You couldn't even call me to let me know you will not keep your promise? You switched off your phone just so I wouldn't call you? You disappoint me, Raymond!

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   The Invocation

    The lady struggled anew against the strength of the burly man who held her, all to no avail. Still, she would not stop screeching. “Werewolf?! Lord save me from idiots! You really believe that fairy tales in children's books are real? And you think I am one?! Just let me go first, and I will show you just how much of that bullshit I am!”The witches backed off, not wanting to engage the wolves. They looked uncertainly from the lady, with hair and body covered under a large hoodie and trousers, to Lilith.Raymond nodded to Dominic, and he unchained her. The shackles fell to the ground as Lilith walked towards the opening where the werewolf who held the woman stood, as others had backed away from him and his volatile captive.When others saw Lilith walking towards him, though, they began to surge forward again, violence clear on their faces.“Stay back,” Raymond ordered.Ignoring their looks of confusion, he looked and said to Lilith, “Get her to calm down, and reveal your big secret

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   She Is A Werewolf?

    The ruckus could be heard all through the pack! The council members rushed outside to see what the hell was going on!“Let me go!!! Leave me the fuck alone! How can you kidnap someone during the day?! Leave me!”The rumble of the truck was swallowed by the screech from the woman on its back. Three men were struggling to keep the woman in place while the open-backed truck was being driven by a woman, with another woman in the passenger seat.The shouts and struggles had attracted the attention of the pack members, and Raymond could see many of them following the truck. Curiosity was on their faces, but more than that was the hostility werewolves automatically display towards only two kinds of people, vampires and witches.The five people driving under the warm sun were no vampires for sure, but their earthy scent clung to them like a second skin. Witches!Raymond could feel the struggle that some encountered in trying to hold back their wolves. After all, their instinctual reflex

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   The Only Way

    She stumbled backwards as if he had struck her as she wobbled and said, “Alpha consort, I know you would not want to believe me because she is your mate. But I swear on the souls of my family too that I am not lying.”“You said you did not have a family, did you not?! Keep up with your fucking lies,” he snapped at her.“I meant my coven members. The ones I was in search of before I got into the queen's snare. We are a family.”“This is some incriminating shit, Alpha,” Alpha Rohan, who still had her phone in his hand, said as he finally set it down on the table. “We need to handle these allegations carefully. And we need to have the queen here.”“You think I do not know that?” Raymond retorted. “My mate suddenly went missing. Those rumours started circulating. And here is a goddamn witch saying things she would not have dared cook up if Athena were here.”“I can prove that I am saying the truth,” Lilith immediately spoke up, her voice strong once again and devoid of shakiness.“The fuc

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   Can't Be True!

    “I… I tailed the other woman and used a masking power on her. From that day, anywhere she was spotted, she looked exactly like Queen Athena. Queen Athena was always close by too, waiting for the perfect opportunity. It came when the powerful wolf cornered the vampires and wiped them out. Athena, the queen, made me wipe her memory and cast a spell on her that made her leave the packlands without any thought of ever returning.”“That is absurd! How could anyone do that?!” Alpha Kane slammed his hand on the table as he jumped up.“Really?! You are going to believe a probable con artist over a leader you have known since when?” Alpha Rohan quipped, and some of the other alphas nodded.The gestures slightly put Raymond at ease. This bitch was not getting away with this. Once she was done with her drama, Raymond would make sure she revealed who had actually sent her there to cause chaos.The witch nodded slightly to herself as she said, “She counted on this right from then. She knew you wou

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   What Exactly?

    Raymond sat back, glad that the meeting was restricted to just the council members. If the pack members had seen the stunt she had just pulled, that would have reaffirmed their belief that she was a walking disaster among them. Causing panic within the pack was the last thing Raymond needed.“But what did she mean by the queen's order?” he wondered suspiciously.He looked straight at her as he said, “I do not care about your soul, nor do I believe that you would not lie if it suited whatever purpose that brought you here. One thing you should know is that I do not trust you, and I am sure that goes for the others too. If you are here to cause trouble for us, you will wish you were never born when I find out. Your parlour tricks mean nothing here.”Her eyes were firm on his as she said, “You are a wise man not to trust me, alpha. But I am here to say the truth. Because it will set me free too. Because it will right the wrong that has been done to another.”“Go ahead,” Raymond said tig

  • Royalty In Rag: Return Of The Wolfless Queen   Should Be Fun

    Raymond could feel her long before the door opened. Not just because of her witchy scent, but something… more. Despite how she practically glided over the floor like she was barely touching it, it seemed like she was taking vibrations from the ground too. Raymond did not know how to explain it, so he did not bother saying it out loud as the other alphas exchanged glances when they caught the scent too. The tension in the room increased. Some of them became so stiff in their chairs that a nudge could break them. Alpha Kane’s jaw looked stiff enough to slice bread, and they all turned around to look as the door opened.She glided in, the silent movement only marred by the iron shackles on her hands and ankles. “Not bad, Dominic,” Raymond thought. Even though he had not told Dominic to do that, he agreed with the soldier’s logic. Being shackled would give her less opportunity to cause trouble, for sure. She stood meekly as Dominic pulled off the head blindfold.Someone gasped. S
