Chapter 61. They finally arrived at their home and the whole crowd cheers for heir Queen, Mace and his Betas are put in bondage with chains and are made to walk with their heads bowed. They enter the palace in a grand style and their latest victory calls for a celebration,"Father, mother," she addresses her parents, "I wouldn't be who I am today without you, I don't know who I would have even been if I don't have you two by my side." She begins to test up and Sheila sniffs dramatically and leans on Asher while she cries. He rolls his eyes a her and listens to his lover, "I'm proud to be your daughter and I would love to give you a gift for being the most amazing parents on the planet."Everyone delivers a round of applause as Xerxes and Octavia blush like fools, they had never really gotten so much attention since Magnus was always stealing it. But he was dead anyway."We would be proud to receive whatever gift you give to us." She smiles a

Chapter 63  Night had fallen and  the Queen had hard from Azure the attempt to kill the baby made by Sheila, she was beyond frustrated and decided to get out of her bed to have a talk one on one with the assassin. She knocks on Sheila's door and after a few moments it swings open to see a miserable woman hiding in the dark, Sheila squints her eyes to the light and she lets the Queen in.Octavia takes it upon herself to give the room a little light but opening the blinds and lighting candles, and when that was done she turned to Sheila with a hurt look on her face. She knew what this was all about,"My Queen, you—" cut off by a slap to the face, her eyes saw stars as she held her cheek to ease the pain but it still burned her flesh. She was surprised that the Queen would do such to her, "why?" Tears had run down her cheeks."I never knew you were so heartless to the point that you would attack a child." Her words re sharp an

Chapter 65  Her people cheer for her and the praises get to her head, she clears her throat and speaks again, "alpha Mace has caused me too much trouble, he came to me with a proposal and he believed that I would agree to marry him because he was powerful!!" She begins to with the back story so everyone would know the Genesis and the revelation of his death."Xerxes, did you talk to her?" Octavia whispers to her husband but he only gives her a glance before turning back to his daughter with his head held high, her heart sinks and she knew he was in support of the execution, "well if they can play the game then so can I." She grunts to herself and her eyes rest on Loki.He catches her gaze on him and he remembers she came to him last night to heal him, she was the woman who came last night to help him. He smelled like her. She says some words with her eyes and he understood stood it clearly due to his nature. He looks at Czar and he was wan

Chapter 67  Night had fallen and it was dinner time, it was very silent as no one as in the mood to speak to anyone. Octavia ate her dinner in silence and so did her husband and daughter. There were not even looking at each other. She had to admit she didn't like the atmosphere but what could she do?She pushes the plate away and stands up from her feet, Xerxes looks at her and her plate and realized she hadn't even eaten up to half of her food which was very uncommon as she usually asked for seconds,"I'm feeling very tired, goodnight Arcadia, don't be too long Xerxes." She leaves for the stairs, slowly climbing it, making sure to be careful with her feet,"I do not appreciate what mother did, not one bit." Arcadia finally speaks up as she pushed away her plate in annoyance,"I know she has challenged you and made you upset but she had a reason for what she did, she just hasn't told us yet. But she did mention something strange

Chapter 69  The sun had risen and so had Loki, doing his daily meditation, he was a slave now but that didn't stop him from developing himself, at least in case he needed to fight. He shouldn't be rusty. He was used to waking up early hours of the morning to get some solitude of the early morning, a thing his mother taught him to do in a daily basis. Then after that he would go on a nature walk,to reconnect with the earth.His eyes open abruptly and he notices that Xerxes was staring at him while he and Asher practiced their stances, he was unnaturally calm probably because he had started manifesting his powers and the morning was really nice."Stop, do it again, your form is slacking." He commands and Asher groans loudly, the sleep clearly still in his eyes,"Master can't we start later from now on, my eyes are still heavy."
