I postponed the wedding, I was too weak to get out of the house to go dress shopping or any other commitment. I didn’t tell Khai this but I didn’t want him to be a widower, that was my true reason. Just months ago I wanted so badly to get married but now it felt like a curse on him. He deserved freedom after I was gone, even when he was an asshole.

Khai refused to allow Malcolm back. About a week passed and I spent most of it bedridden, too sore to do anything. My muscles hurt and my skin was sensitive to everything. My neck and head pounded like someone was in there, hitting the walls of my bones. Sometimes both my muscles and bones felt like a mining site of explosions and drilling. I couldn’t do anything without crying and my back and body ached for staying in bed a lot. I was developing bedsores. Khai would carry me around the house to make me sit in the living room or kitchen but sitting up straight made me nauseous. I hated the look of pity that was the default whenever anyone l

  • She Was The Queen   Chapter Ninety-Nine - Khai

    A must-know about Malcom is that he didn't just want to be alpha, he wanted everything and everything I had. Before Roman told me his presence made the poisonous pain quiet I could see it through his eyes. We grew up together, I knew when he was interested or when he was in deep desire. I knew when he was disgusted, charmed or upset about something. Usually, Malcolm got what he wanted. If I ever gave him the chance to make a move on Roman he would take it. My main concern was whether or not Roman would be interested in him. I hated to admit it but, I was afraid he could take Roman from me.Though he walked around claiming redemption and transformation I still saw the same old Malcolm. Hungry and covetous.I found him asleep just three miles from home, snuggled into a ball by a large oak tree, leaves and dust covering his black and white mane.“You can come home,” I told him.I had already phased back into my human form. His ears perked up as his eyes fluttered open. He phased into a h

  • She Was The Queen   Chapter Hundred - Khai

    We approached a cottage alongside a main road, it was situated at the end of the road. From then on the forest was wild and thick with bushes.Humans. I could hear everything. They were talking, laughing, drinking and eating at their crackling fireplace. The man’s voice was the loudest. Their door opened, and Roman and I came to a halt, hiding behind bushes opposite the house.Out of the open door stepped a little child, a girl child. Her hair was brown like the man who shot Roman and her eyes were green. A red ball bounced out of the door and she ran after it, trying to catch it. A tall man came out of the door."Don’t go too far Fern, it's dark out,” he said to her as she picked up the ball."Okay daddy,” she said and threw the ball up and down in their front yard.It was him. The sight of him made my heart stop and cringe.Let’s come back later. Roman said.She moved in front of me, she could feel my urges, my desire to pounce on him right then and end his life. It was those same gr

    Khai mindlessly stood up and followed the man, leaving me uneasy with the woman who kept a pacifying smile and emotionless eyes. Concern bubbled inside me, Khai could do anything. I didn’t want him to mess this up but I couldn’t act suspicious. The fact that he was used by the Azraels to shoot another wolf implied that he knew about our kind."Let’s make some tea. Shall we?" Diane proposed.I followed Diane into the kitchen and placed whatever Fern gave to me in my pocket. Diane had the body of an hourglass. Her waist was perfectly small and her hips were just as wide as her breasts. She looked like a drawing the way she was so impeccably proportionate. All the way to the kitchen the walls were lined on both sides with animal heads. Racoon, beaver, fox, dog, cat, platypus, all animals.“Do you have pets?”She chuckled, “I wouldn’t be able to care for animals,” she replied.The reply sent shivers down my spine. She was the type of human I hated. They didn’t kill for sustenance but for

  • She Was The Queen   Chapter Hundred and Two - Khai

    We were both facing defeat but it was becoming all more evident on my side as my defeat was witnessed by everyone. I had done nothing to protect our guard dogs, done nothing to get Roman healed. The man who shot her held no fear of us at all. When he told me he knew who I was, he had no fear in his voice or eyes, he looked like he was ready to die at any moment.I never wanted this. If Malcolm was mentally stable, I would’ve passed on this mantle to him but it didn’t work that way. We could do an alpha ceremony but if the ancestors didn’t want anyone else, the mantle would remain with me. Life would’ve been simpler if Roman and I were just wolves.As the days went on, I thought about what Emelda told me a lot more than I needed to. Draining Roman’s blood sounded like a great idea but she would need the exact amount of blood to replace all the poisoned blood and no one would be able to do that without losing their own life. Would it be so bad to end my own misery? Would it be so bad if

    I was about to open the door to my father’s study when a hand stopped me and turned me around.“I can’t sit around here and watch you play house. Send me out, you know I’m the best tracker and hunter in the pack. If you can just give me two days I’ll find them,” Malcolm said.Pride and determination in his eyes, who could doubt him with such a look? I didn’t, that’s for sure but what would become of Roman in his absence?No, I had to stop thinking about Roman alone. She wasn’t the only wolf in existence. I was still alpha and I needed to make the best decision.“Two days, then you return.”“I swear it,” he said.As he was about to turn around I gripped his wrist.“Be safe,” I found myself saying.Malcolm’s eyes widened slightly as he watched me incredulously. I couldn’t believe myself either but I meant it. Malcolm was strong, we would need him in the war.“I will be,” he stated and ripped his wrist from my hand.He walked away from me and out of my sight. It took about five minutes b

    I recalled the light. The pain. The fire that coursed through my entire body and tore my stomach and abdomen to shreds. The stabbing pain of my pelvis decaying hurt so bad I lost consciousness. I lost my mind. I wanted to hold my breath and kill myself right away but I couldn't. I didn't have the strength. I didn't have the power to take control of my own life. I couldn't kill myself. I recalled the light.The light.The light that hung above me. The burning leather restraints that held me from jerking my body left, right and everywhere and saved me from banging my head on the floor. A demon overcame me or was it an angel that wanted to deliver me from this earthly body. I was ready for the last push, the last immense pain before a sweet darkness. It was the end. It was here. The poison triumphed and ruled over my body. It did its desire and purpose which was to destroy.I heard the sound I heard in the movies I used to watch with Khai. The sound of a flattened line. The sound of deat

    I got out of and left the med bay. I needed to be alone.It's not like I envied Linda's gift of twins. It's not like I wished to have as many kids as my parents did. It's not like I wanted to keep Sun Wolf blood alive. It's not like I wanted any of that. But when I got into the shower, with my clothes on, I wept incredibly. I sobbed like a five-year-old and screamed as silently as I could. I wanted it. I wanted all of that. I wanted kids. I wanted twins. It was a desire that burned in me as soon as I saw Fern. She was young and full of life, something I needed. I needed someone of my blood around, I wanted kids. Even one would’ve been enough.I knew it was Yaga who brought me back.I know you brought me back so why didn't you bring back my family? Why do you keep hurting me when all I do is worship you? When all I do is give you my all. You’ve let everything be taken from me. Did you make me so you could watch my melancholic story unfold? Let me die and bring me back to kill me inside.

    I woke up with a sharp pain in my wrists. My eyes opened to the glorious warmth of health and I held my breath in deep, questioning this oddity. Perhaps, the poison was playing its games with me again. It wouldn't be out of the question. Then I wondered if Malcolm was somewhere in the room, among the bodies that laid asleep on the floor of our bedroom.I turned around to face my love whose hand was still in mine. I squeezed his hand to wake him up but his hand was cold. Ice cold. Khai stayed asleep and didn't move so I sat up and found dark orbs staring at me.They watched me with the darkest eyes, sitting on their hind legs with eyes filled with sorrow and melancholy. Then I felt it. The atmosphere and the world had grown thinner. It was like something that was always there went missing in the middle of the night. I turned my attention mainly to Linda whose eyes were actually a shade darker, almost brown. Everyone was in their wolf form as Khai had instructed them to remain.Their ey

    Malcolm was ravenous and relentless. The resistance I felt to fight him looked like it didn't exist in him. He clawed and he bit, he pulled and tried to tear but my body was too strong as an alpha. I turned to him as he was on me and bit into his shoulder. He howled painfully and kicked himself off me. Malcolm, surrender, please. Khai would want you to live.

    We found ourselves outside, everyone had transformed into their wolf forms. The majority of the pack had already gathered to watch. Malcolm stood opposite me, snarling and growling.Traga wolves, please hear me. This is not my doing but that of your great ancestor and Khai. This is not my will but that of your own. Blasphemy! A wolf shouted.The pack was clearly split into sides. Those who wanted to remain Traga wolves were in the majority, standing behind Malcolm. I saw many wolves I thought would be on my side.The only one on my side was Grace in her brown wolf form which shone red under the sun. Her love for Khai brought her here and also a pack that never chose her. My heart expected Yolanda to be on my side, Linda or Edna but they stood fiercely behind Malcolm.A howl ripped from the forest and a grey wolf appeared. Audrey. Her blue eyes were like ice.I will fight as well. she growledTwo against one is hardly fair, even for an alpha, Grace said.She stepped forward and nodded

    I had not seen her in months. Her absence even made me believe she wasn't around anymore. I never passed her anywhere.Even at the funeral. I knew she was there but I didn't see her.“You better sit down,” Whitney warned.Grace glanced at her without any emotions and walked toward me. I stood up as she approached. She looked tired and broken.“I heard him before he went away," she continued.“If you want to make yourself useful, do it by going back to that room!” Whitney shouted.Whitney charged toward Grace. I found myself running to block her from striking Grace.I gripped her hand in my hand inches from Grace's face. Grace had her arms up in defence. Whitney's wide eyes locked with mine incredulously.“You will sit down!” I said in my alpha voice and it brought her down to her knees."Oh!" Whitney grunted and she found herself crouched on the floor.My voice was so heav

    When the elders gathered in the living room, winter was coming to a visible end. Their eyes were still full of grief and heartache, but Raymond was as cold as stone.I told no one else about what Yaga and Khai told me to do after Audrey's reaction. I kept it to myself. Malcolm could read a difference in me but he couldn’t put a finger on it. Most of the time I avoided his advances and efforts to make something out of the proposed arrangement but I gave him no opening.My stomach turned; I could feel another war coming on.“Roman, the time has come. We understand that you may not want anything big but we will need it on paper,” Khai’s grandfather said to me.I sat alone on the single couch while everyone sat around me. This must’ve been how Khai felt when he led. All these eyes and weight on him. No wonder he was broken.My mouth remained sealed and I looked over at Malcolm who for once in one of these meetings was looking me directly in the eyes. Bold and immovable.“By the end of tom

    I reached out for her and she moved her hand away. That's when I knew there was division between us."Do you know what you sound like?" she said as she glared at me.I shrugged helplessly."A colonizer.""Excuse me?" I breathed.I wasn't sure if I heard her right."I should've listened to Malcolm. You've made Malcolm a reliable source. Do you know how insane you need to be to make Malcolm sound reliable?" she shouted.The workers around us watched us and all the harvesting had stopped. Audrey saw the eyes and closed the space between us and lowered her voice."How dare you use Khai's name to justify your schemes," she said through clenched teeth."This is not my scheme Audrey. I don't want this either but Khai said-""How dare you?"Her eyes became glossy and she jabbed a finger in my chest."Doing that will eradicate everything that makes us Traga. You came in here and usurped our leader and now you

    Winter covered the garden with its cold whiteness and a few months breezed past. The trees grew bare with leaves and frostbite crept up my fragile human toes.I never had to worry about these things when I spent every day and night as a wolf. My fur always kept me warm but as a human, which I spent most of my time as - I found sickness and shivering to be commonplace.They were generous with the mourning period but time was running out. I couldn't avoid the subject of marriage to Malcolm any longer. Eventually, the elders would end their kind silence and come to the house again.Intimidated and confused, I had said yes to marrying Malcolm under the condition that they would lend me the guard dogs in my fight against the Azraels. They had done that for me.This was against my moral code. Growing up, my father taught me to keep my word but then I felt Khai, heard him in my head and promised him I’d never marry Malcolm and see the plan through - my mor

    It became apparent why I was here. Why it was the doorstep of the Tragas I fell upon. It was for this moment right here. Khai and I were nothing but collateral, a means to an end.I was but a small cog in the machine, a pawn in a chess game played by the gods. Traga was willing to sacrifice himself to Yaga so his children would get stronger and live longer. My blood would certainly guarantee that.After Khai left my mind and body I felt lonely. Lonelier than I’d ever been or believed was possible. I sat in the desert crying for what felt like an hour as the black hole in my chest gaped wider.I saw them looking for me in the distance and I ran to hide so I could cry all the cowardice out of me.I couldn’t continue like this anymore. I needed to take the first step. Move out of the passive and into the active.For the first time in a long time, I got on my knees and said a prayer.Give me the strength to see these plans through. Please soften the hearts of Traga Wolves so they may rece

    The night went on and I left the crowd to sit alone with my fourth drink. I wanted to cry but my body felt too tired of all the sadness and pain. Also, I was tired of forcing smiles.I walked a mile off and sat on the dirt, gazing up at the moon.I’d never given the moon much thought till I came to Traga. All I cared about before was the sun and now I was of both the sun and the moon.As I stared the moon it began to glow. I kept my gaze fixed on it and I felt my blood rushing through my veins. I stood up to my feet as my heart pounded in my chest.What was happening?It went on for a while until my chest felt warm. Tears brimmed at my eyes as I felt it again. His love. His warmth, his presence glowing from inside of me.It was Khai. How?Roman. Khai?Yes. How? I laughed, a mix of joy and tears.How was this happening. I’d never felt so whole in my life. My

    Ginos was a place out of town, randomly in the middle of the dessert like area. It was made of shipping containers huddled into a circle where people could sit and have drinks. They only served barbeque meats and alcohol. The air was heavy with spices, smoke and charred meat which made my mouth salivate.I couldn’t believe the Tragas had finally managed to get me off raw meat. I couldn’t imagine eating it.We joined two tables and sat together, the loudest group in the whole place. Hannah, Falcon, Jacob, Yolanda, Audrey, Malcolm, Linda and apparently Greg was coming. The idea didn’t excite me and I felt that it was disrespectful seeing as Khai was barely gone for a week and she was already going over his head.Khai never wanted Greg around them. He could do nothing about Linda’s love for him but he made it clear he didn’t want him around other wolves.I didn’t have the energy to argue and fight a losing battle. No matter what I said, Linda would justify his presence in her head. And on
