My saliva burnt in my throat when I swallowed it. My blood pulsed as if passing by sores in my veins. My heart rate slowed by the minute and I was afraid that any of these breaths would be my last. My body burned with a pain I'd never felt before. It wasn't like period pains, it wasn't like a stab or a scratch. It was something else. It was as if my blood itself burned and moved around my body full of little knives and glass shards.

When the bullet nested itself in my shoulder it was a tolerable pain but something inside of it injected itself in me like a bee-sting.

I could hear everything, feel everything but not see anything. I could feel Walter's covered fingers pull the cold metal out of my arm. The anaesthetic was not effective. It clicked onto a glass container in the corner. A sick sob followed after and I knew it was Yolanda.

"I can't watch this."

"Then don't!" Walter barked.

Yolanda's footsteps receded. He was annoyed and stressed. I'd never seen him look so sick with worry.

    He came quickly to my side and knelt. He took my hand in his and placed it on his face. Tears streamed down his face, his eyelashes glittered with droplets. This was Khai, in his purest form, in his vulnerable state. This was what I was waiting for, uncovering this layer of him but I didn't want it to happen this way.Tears threatened my eyes like they were being burnt by his fumes, the opening of his layer."Your death would send me into a spiral I cannot even imagine," he said.I caressed his face, smooth and without scar or blemish. He was so beautiful and perfect, like fine china."I missed you,” he said into my neck before he placed a kiss.His breath made my knees weaker than they already were."I missed you so damn much," he purred with a voice getting deeper.He began sucking on my neck. It was deliciously painful and the pain in my body became background noise as he kissed my neck and lips. His lips travelled up to my jawline where he reached higher to bite my earlobe."Khai.

    "Guess whose back?" Khai enthused tiresomely.Hannah and Yolanda turned around screaming at me. They both pulled me into painful hugs. Everything hurt, even the slightest and most tender touch felt like pins and needles."Please get me painkillers," I asked Khai when he placed me at the dinner table.He left immediately and came back with two capsules of red and green. "I felt it first you know," Yolanda told Hannah."Me too I just didn't want to disturb," Hannah said as she brushed my shoulder. I unintentionally hissed at the pain. "Regard her arm, it still hurts," Khai told them.They were talking about me waking up. The whole pack was sensitive to me now. They would know if I was sick or hurt, it's why they all showed up immediately after I got shot."It still hurts?" I heard Edna behind the girls.She stepped into view and nodded reverently."Come to my room later on okay," I nodded in shock. She'd never invited me anywhere, let alone the privacy of her room."Where are the boys

    I asked if we could sit outside in the sun, maybe I'd feel better. Khai rolled out a mat and poured me a glass of orange juice. He carried me outside and laid me on the carpet and he laid right beside me.His face rested in his palms and he brushed a lock of my hair behind my ear. He moved closer and kissed my forehead. We were in the middle of the garden where anyone interested could see us."Every moment you were asleep I felt helpless. If you didn't come for me...""Then you would have been shot," I said."Is that what you want?" I asked him."In this circumstance, yes. I'd rather be the one in pain. Not you.""This pack needs you. I don't regret taking that shot for you."Khai shook his head. "It was a human who shot you. When I tried to go after him his scent had suddenly disappeared. That doesn't happen. A scent doesn't disappear just like that, especially a human's because they don't run that fast.""What was he doing in

  • She Was The Queen   Chapter Sixty-Seven - Khai

    I sent Jacob out three days ago to investigate what happened. Who was the man and why was he there? Who sent him? Traga land and all the lands surrounding us owned by wolves were protected by the law against poaching and any type of hunting. No one was allowed to hunt there so what was he doing with a gun? Was he trying to be lucky? Who would hunt a wolf? A taxidermist? Had he intended to wear my skin or put my head on a wall?Anyhow he needed to be found and killed. He was going to tell the whole world about 6-foot-tall wolves. He must've seen her turn human after he shot her. We couldn't let him go. He had to be found and all the people he told.Although I was asleep, I was aware and held her as closely as I could. I could hear her breathing. Finally normal. Her heartbeat was good for a sleeping woman and her hair smelled the same way it always did; cedar with a hint of honey. It made me feel like I was in one of my daydreams.In th

    I headed for the bathroom, locked the door and washed my face at the sink. My face was heating up, I wanted to cry. I felt like a failure. I was killing her. I couldn't save her. I couldn't find her perpetrator and make him beg her for forgiveness. I couldn't make her feel like the queen she was. What kind of alpha fails his luna? And what could I do? What could I do to save her? Wait for Walter to figure it out?All I could think of was finding the stupid human who did this. But every time I did that it took me away from her. Those days when she was unconscious I would go out, run for miles looking for him but every second I was away, I felt horrible for not spending it with her.But what if that idiot could help me? I'd have to beg a species below me for salvation. My pride was a huge lump in my throat but for her, I would swallow it. I wouldn't lose the only completion I had in my life.I had such a huge hole in my heart ever since my father's death and havin

    An old wolf, with fur white as snow and hazel eyes picked me up on the path on which I had collapsed.I had woken up with so much invincible strength I thought I could do anything. As I slept I had a dream, a solution. I’d been quietly ruminating through the days since the River Cresent Wolves came, about a plan. I didn’t quite know how to solve their problem. The River Crescent wolf issue had nothing to do with me but I figured that since I was their luna I too had to do something. Besides, Traga wolves had done so much for me that I had to do something for them too.I woke up in Walter’s room and he had been scribbling something down on a clipboard when my eyes shot wide open. He gasped for me and came to my side, trying to keep the tubes and needles inside me, saying it was for my own good. I told him I never felt as good as I did right then. I had no pain and all my cells spoke of was power and energy. I had inspiration from my dream.Walter didn’t let me go easy. He blocked the d

  • She Was The Queen   Chapter Seventy - Khai

    As we ran home, I couldn’t help the sickly feeling in my stomach. It could’ve been Roman and our connection – I only felt a fraction of what she truly felt but this was my emotion. My feelings. Intiyago was nothing but odd. Nothing about his behaviour made any sense to me.When they first came to our house, chasing Roman, that was the only time I understood him. He had hoped to confuse me by saying he was leaving in the name of love but the truth was that they were outnumbered and any smart alpha knows when to quit. But everything else from then made no sense.Apart from killing our watch wolves, he made no sense. Killing our watch wolves meant that he was trying to reduce our numbers. If the Azraels weren’t so good at concealing their scent we would’ve found them a long time ago but all our searching had been in vain. We only saw Intiyago when he wanted us to see him like that time we saw him in Roman’s home. Just standing there. He was difficult to read. What was the purpose of just

    As Khai slammed the door my heart beat out of my chest, desperate to follow him and press him into a corner. What did I have to do to be told the truth around here? I was obedient and quiet and now I was dying yet no one felt the need to tell me anything.Khai was selfish. He knew everything there was to know about me, even to the point of study yet when I asked something I was pushing him.I poured out my heart about everything I went through. He knew in disgusting detail how my father died, my sisters, my mother, my brothers, my whole clan. I was sure he could sketch out the exact image of that day in his book.But I stayed in bed. I wasn't in pain but decided to enjoy the serene silence of normalcy. I had forgotten this is what it felt like to be without poison.Days went by and we settled back into the usual. Life carried on like we were open books to each other when I was the open book and he was shut, still and dusty on a shelf.Khai took me out a lot those days. He spent every

    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
