The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 52 - Deal Struck
I walk alone into the grand dining room where this evening’s dinner will be held, exhaling a long breath and looking around with interest. The room is already flooded with people – important Alphas with their Lunas on their arms, state officials, advisors. The Vendan officials are here too, obvious in their traditional black and looking for all things like a set of crows scattered around the room.Slowly I walk into the gorgeous room, which is elaborate in all of its white marble and gold accents, built to accommodate about one hundred guests in very fine circumstances. I accept a glass of champagne from a bowing Delta servant and take a stip. Those guests close to me who notice my entrance give me short bows of reverence – those due to a Queen, though of course I haven’t taken up that title yet.Still, in Mahl’s court – with the way he’s already claimed me? It’s as good as done.I step into the room, looking around, wondering how to handle this. Mahl is, of course, on his dais, where
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 51 - Crowns and Books
“Whether or not I’d give Coco up is unsubstantial,” I say, waving a hand to dismiss the point again and doing my very best to hide that I’d never, ever – in a million years – let my daughter’s favorite pet be taken from her. “Just…let him know that I’m sympathetic to the idea, okay? And that should it come up in negotiations…” I shrug, “I might be amenable to talks.”“What are you…what are you playing at?” Callie says, the words coming out on the breath of her exhale. “Why do you want him to believe that?”“Because, Cals,” I say, reaching out and putting a hand on my sister’s wrist. “I want peace, and if the Vendans see me as a sympathetic ear on the way to the King, perhaps…I can play a larger role in that peace.”Lies, all of it but…well. My heart sinks when I realize that I’m playing my sister along with the rest of them, but isn’t it worth it, in the end? If I can keep my children safe, get them out of this viper’s nest?“Look at you, Everleigh,” Callie says, laughing a little and

“Hey Cals!” I say, leaning against my sister’s new bedroom door and grinning over at her.“Everleigh!” she gasps, spinning towards me and then, laughing, dashing over to wrap me in a big hug. “Did you see this room?” she whispers, delighted. “It’s amazing!”“Of course I’ve seen it,” I say, laughing and hugging her back. “It used to be mine, after all.”Callie pulls back an inch and stares at me, her mouth a round little “o,” I think having forgotten that little fact. She turns around, keeping one arm around my waist, looking around the room with new eyes. “Oh, then I like it even more then,” she says, giving a decisive nod. “I love that you have history here.”“History indeed,” I say, my voice low with the understatement. When I was Angeline’s lady, we spent hours and hours here, especially when she and Mal were fighting and she wanted to hide away from him for a bit. For some reason, he never thought to look for her here – like this room, or I, didn’t really exist. But their fights n
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 49 - Good Evening, Good Morning
Auden leans against the door frame as Everleigh sweeps into the children’s room, calling a soft goodnight to the two little souls he just tucked into bed a few minutes before. Neither are asleep yet and both burst out with happy greetings to their mom, though Coco just huffs on his spot by the pillow and lifts one wing to cover his head. Auden smiles as he watches Everleigh sit on Niall’s bed, stroking her son’s bright hair as she looks over at Vivianna, who is already sitting up to provide some details of her busy day.Inhaling a deep breath, Auden only half listens to the conversation, letting the soft light and sounds of the room calm him even further as he gets lost in his thoughts. Everleigh’s laughter at something Niall says – a bright, delighted sound - turns something inside Auden, makes him warm to her even more.Everleigh leans forward towards Niall, pressing a series of quick kisses to his cheeks and forehead that make the little boy laugh and swat her away, turning sleepily
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 48 - A Deal
“I propose that you…offer me to him,” Margot whispers, a little scandalously, “as a gift. Until the wedding. To save your chastity or whatever,” she says, flipping a hand in the air like the details of my reasons don’t matter.“How on earth would we do that?” I whisper.“Easy. The next time he insists you come to bed, just…bring me along. We’ll go from there.”“Margot…” I say, still staring at her in disbelief that this could be…a real offer.“This is what I do, Everleigh,” she says quietly, reaching out and cupping my cheek in her palm. “I give people what they want. What do you think?”I take a long moment to think about my response, about the stakes of this.But really – what could it hurt to try? The worst he can do is refuse the “gift” and then I am precisely where I am. Besides, I’m still planning to leave as soon as I can – perhaps all I need is a distraction to buy me a little more time.“If you’re honestly willing?” I say quietly, hoping my expression honestly conveys that sh
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 47 - A Visit from the King
I purse my lips, considering Margot’s offer to answer the inner door to the Royal passages of the palace long enough that she jumps out of her seat, turning towards it.“Oh, sit down!” I scold, laughing as I get up myself and give her a mock little shove back towards the chaise. Margot grins as she takes her seat again, gathering up the pornography into a single stack as I hurry towards the door, knowing that it must be answered – and that it must be me that answers it.As I pull the door open, I sweep into a curtsey before my intended husband, masterfully managing not to spill my red wine as I do. “My King,” I murmur.“My Queen,” he says, and when I straighten up I’m pleased to see him smiling down at me – in a good mood, apparently. “It is good to see you in high spirits.”“Please, come in if you would,” I say, gesturing towards the room, wanting to ensure that he sees that I have company before he says anything that I wouldn’t want her to hear.But, of course, being who he is, Mahl
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 46 - Time with My New Friend
Twenty minutes later, I’m anxiously pacing back and forth in my room when a knock comes at the main door. I laugh a little, darting over to it, glad it’s this door and not the private one leading to the Royal passages.I whip the door open and give a little squeal of joy to see Margot standing there, a bunch of papers under her arm, a bottle of red wine dangling from her hand.“Readyyy?” Margot asks, lifting the bottle with a wink.“Margot!” I say, laughing and reaching for her, pulling her into the room. “You didn’t have to bring anything – obviously, I have wine here.”“Oh god, Ev,” she says, laughing a little. “Not nearly enough for what I’ve got to show you.”“Really?” I gasp, reaching for the papers. “What is there –““Ah ah!” she says, turning half away with a smirk so I can’t reach the papers and holding the bottle of wine out towards me. “Drinks first. Pornography second.”I laugh, grinning at her and taking the bottle over to my little cart of liquor and wine, quickly un-cork
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 45 - After Dinner
Mahl laughs a little. “Now you know all our secrets,” he murmurs to me. “Though we’d appreciate it if you kept this one discreet.”I tear my eyes from the fascinating women who have entered the room, not bothering to point out to Mahl the irony of what he just said – because, of course, I am a Luna, or am about to be. What sort of secrets will he be keeping from me?But, well. I guess I’m not one to talk.The women who enter the room now are people who have no rank at all, or are Deltas at best, and I find myself utterly fascinated by them. These women who mingle with the most powerful men in the kingdom - what on earth are their lives really like?The courtesans quickly make themselves at home, many moving to the sides of their favorite Alphas who greet them warmly and wrap arms around their waists. Some courtesans, I note, decline to make the first move, instead settling themselves mysteriously by the fire or on couches, waiting to be approached.My eyes brighten in particular when
The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret Chapter 44 - What Alphas Get Up To
“I was surprised to find you here,” Mahl says softly, his heavy arm still wrapped around my shoulder as we walk back to the palace. “I had heard Auden ordered horses to be brought and assumed he was selecting for the Betas. I hadn’t expected the children, but your presence was the true surprise.” “I met them in the hall in the children’s wing,” I say casually, which was not a lie. I don’t bother to mention that I went to the children’s wing looking for them. “Vivianna mentioned they were choosing horses; Auden invited me along.” “You know,” Mahl says, pitching his voice low and raising a hand to hook a finger beneath my chin. “If you like children that much, we can give you one of your own.” I blush then, genuinely. Because the last thing I want, honestly, is to give Vivi and Niall a new sibling that’s both brother and uncle. And I do not want, at all, to participate in any activities that would allow me to get pregnant with that child. Mahl laughs at what he perceives to be my co
