She Was The Queen Chapter Seventy-Five - Khai
Jacob sat across me with my phone in his palms. Falcon and Walter leaned in close to him, their faces glued to the screen of my phone. Rock music blasted through the speakers combined with a cacophony of voices in the pub. I took a sip of beer as they listed off names and deleted contacts of all my exes and women I was once involved with. It never came to mind so I never took the time to delete their contacts. They were simply out of sight and out of mind. Since Roman arrived, I never gave them a single thought. Jacob didn’t just delete their contacts he also blocked them.We were in the pub I took Roman to the last time. The day she made a scene, justly so. The day I told her I loved her and she never said it back.Did words even matter? If she didn’t love me she wouldn’t be marrying me now would she? I wasn’t listening to any of their jokes or the stories they told about my history. A great concern dawned on me. Roman had never expressed her feelings for me. She kissed me, and we sp

Golden Hour painted the sky in amber. The trees and grass looked like they were baking as the sun was about to set. Roman, Falcon, Jacob, Hannah, and I trekked into the forest in our human forms to signal that we did not come to fight. River Crescent lands were 20 miles from us so we drove most of it and walked the rest.It was a peaceful drive through the forest. Most of the time I admired my betrothed as she sat in the passenger seat, jamming to songs with Hannah who sang at the top of her lungs from behind me.I never thought, in any of my days that Falcon would offer himself as a bargaining chip but he did. Apart from stringing my cousin along all these years, I respected his honour and integrity.Falcon’s plan was simple, in addition to Roman offering Sun Wolf land he would offer himself as muscle to the River Crescents.Over the hill and down in the valley a ring of mansions appeared, surrounded by vast farmland bustling with crops and workers ending their day shift.“It’s beaut

“You are insane!” I shouted.Roman struggled to keep up with me from behind as I stormed away. Hannah had phased and ran away and Falcon pursued her. This was a nightmare, nothing went according to plan. Instead, the world decided to fall apart around me. These were the things that made normal people depressed but because my brain was broken, I only felt rage and anger.“What did you expect me to say? No, and cause more trouble?” she shouted from behind me, out of breath.I stopped walking and she caught up.“I know that everyone hates me for being here. I want to do something for everyone. This is the least I can do!”“Do you even love me?” I asked her.Roman rolled her eyes as if the question had an obvious answer.“Of course I love you,” she said and her eyes went wide. That was the first time she ever said it.“Of course, I love you Khai, that’s why I’m doing it,” she said again, this time with substance.“You cannot claim to love me and willingly have a child with another man.”“

The spring heat was bugging me and an even warmer breeze came through from the window. I opened my eyes and the lights were on.Didn't we switch them off?I checked on Khai and his face was too far from me to be breathing on my neck. Oddly he was too far away from me on the bed. Usually, he slept stuck to my body or an inch away. Never at the edge.I sat up and caught a figure by the mirror, my heart stopped for a minute as he stood there, wearing black pants, a leather jacket and that same familiar scar on his face.I saw his eyes as they reflected off the mirror and a devious smirk grew on his face. My stomach clenched and my breath stopped. Slowly, he turned around and faced me with a wider smile.Though the lights were on and I saw exactly where he was, it was just as terrifying as the dark."Roman," his coarse voice resonated.It sent shivers down my spine and crushed my ability to move."How are you?"My eyes went to the window, wide open. We had made it so easy for him. My lips

I had to plan how to address everyone without Roman’s knowledge. Understanding how terrified she was of them when she first arrived and the vivid dreams she had been having, I couldn't let her think they were at our doorstep. However, I sensed that she also knew that without a doubt.That pervert was watching us, at every moment. He had his stupid dogs around Traga land but so did I. The problem was, we were losing numbers. Everyone sent out, especially on night watches either didn’t return or returned heavily injured, the men were becoming scared and reluctant. All these casualties I kept from Roman, if she saw them she would run away or turn herself in. I couldn’t risk the chance of that stupidity. Roman was afraid but she could also be reckless."We'll have to meet up in Sutterman Field," Jacob advised.I nodded up at him as we sat in the kitchen. He was referring to the city's largest football field, it would fit everyone and it would be far from Roman. Nobody visited it anymore d

I looked at the porridge, steaming piping through the air and angelic swirls. I pushed it away.“Can’t you do it for me, Jacob?” I asked him.Jacob tilted his head to the side.“She needs you,” he said quietly.I covered my head and laid it my arms on the table. I couldn’t go back in there and face her. Her feet hurt the most that day and they were swelling. Her face was stained in tears, eyes swollen and puffy – I feared I might forget her face and fierce personality. The poison had so wrongly reduced her into a crying and crippling woman - what I would give to hear an opinion from her, a no or something that wasn’t agony.Also, I was still upset with her. How eagerly she wanted to have a child with my cousin’s mate. Out of all the things she could’ve done for Traga or me, why did it have to be that? I started my research the night we returned. Roman agreed that we would do it my way and I was going to find any way to prevent even the slightest contact. I was looking into egg donatio

Suddenly Whitney got loose from her husband and charged toward Roman. I knew she couldn’t hurt her even if she wanted to. She pointed a sharp accusatory finger at her chest and poked her around. Roman was so weak each jab nudged her back.“You are a dark omen on this pack. All you bring is death and darkness. Your name is heavy with implication. Rome was not built in a day but it fell quickly. Destruction and death are your tail. Leave us or we will make you leave.”Roman looked like she would cry at any moment but it was because she had been crying all day. She looked frail, her face was gaunt and her small figure was wrapped in a fleece. She stepped closer to Whitney, got really close to her face. Whitney was a head taller than her but the look on Roman’s face implied she was the one looking down on her.“I’ve always thought you hated me but now I am certain. I’m happy we can finally be honest with each other,” Roman spoke with a low voice, sour with bitterness.She stepped aside. I

I thought I had suffered enough heartache to be unphased by this but this was a real pain, a real disappointment. I had started to believe again. I knew Yaga was my goddess but she had become some part of my mind more than the one who rules my world – then Khai prayed and it all got better and I could feel her all-knowing power again but that was a farce - some kind of joke.I spent the whole day in bed, using sleep as the only getaway from this pain."I'll be back soon I promise. Twelve wolves are outside to watch the perimeter of the house. My mother will be here. I need to go sort out some business," Khai spoke with strain in his voice."I'll be right back, I promise,” he said when he came to kiss my forehead.I pulled his face to my lips and kissed him. He smiled wearily and closed the door behind him.I didn’t need to hear it, I knew it – Khai was tired of his sick fiancé. Always in bed, always in pain. I wish I could get better or find a way to purge my system of this sickness b

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
