I couldn’t believe that I had been so naive and so judgmental. Would Nevaeh ever forgive me? She’s my absolute best friend and I assumed the worst of her, when she’s never done anything but shown me love and care. “Nevaeh, I have no words that can excuse my behavior. I let my jealousy poison my thoughts and I assumed the worst of you. I am so incredibly sorry for the way I’ve been treating you. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, and whether you choose to forgive me or not, I will work everyday to show you that I can change and that I can be more deserving of your friendship.” “Mary, I’ve already forgiven you. You’re the only friend I have here, and I would hate for anything to get in the way of that. Just promise me, that if anything is ever bothering you, that’ll you come to me first.” “I promise Nevaeh.” I responded, tears filling my eyes as I walked over to my best friend and wrapped her in my arms, knowing that if she was anyone else I would’ve lost her. “Now let’s get you read

“And when will you tell the kingdom that their new Queen is a human?” Ash stated loudly a large sinister smile on his face.My heart pounded in my chest. This is it. This is the moment the kingdom revolts against Nikolai. This is the moment that everyone I love dies. This love I found with Nikolai, it’s too good to be true. Everything and anything I care about eventually dies. My parents, my baby sister, my best friend Karina from the village. And now Nikolai, Nevaeh, Draq, Dru, and Kade where all going to die. And there would be nothing I could do to save them. “And why should the kingdom care that Mary is human?” Prince Ambrose asks, standing up for his seat up front and staring out at the crowd, “We should all be living in harmony together.” Loud cheers of agreement erupt throughout the first and second rows, even some of the smaller supernaturals in the middle row are cheering in agreement. Looking further back I notice the wolves and the witches are glaring daggers at the faeri

Nikolai and Kade had been extremely busy since the day of my coronation. The only time I saw Nikolai was at bedtime but when I awoke he was always gone. Nikolai had told me they were preparing for the Alphas’ Summit. Nikolai had sent a letter to every Alpha advising them that the location for the Alpha Summit was changing, now everyone would be meeting at the palace. Nikolai stated that he wanted all the leaders of the different supernatural races to meet his new Queen, and that he couldn’t afford to leave the castle, not so soon after the rouge attacks. Yeah, that’s what the coup that the werewolves had started was now being called, a rouge attack. Alpha Ash claimed that not a single wolf from his pack would’ve attacked the King’s castle, and since there wasn’t concrete evidence to prove that it was a direct attack from Ash, Nikolai had labeled it a Rouge attack. As King, Nikolai could have condemned Alpha Ash to death the night the wolves had attacked, but Nikolai wanted to be a fa

***ALPHA ASH***“Perfect, I’ll meet you there.” I reply back smiling down at my phone. Today is the day that I have been waiting for for the last decade. King Nikolai is hosting the Alpha Summit at his castle. It gives me the perfect opportunity to lay siege while the castle is at it’s weakest. Nikolai thinks he only has to worry about the witches and the wolves, but he’s wrong in that aspect. When the Dragon King Luscious, found out that Nikolai was harboring his twin sons, he was more than happy to lend a helping hand in defeating the Vampire King. My plan isn’t just to kill Nikolai. No, that would be to simple, he would get off way to easy if I were to kill him. I plan on making him suffer. First I’ll deprive him of blood, then I’ll let him watch while he’s too week and frail as we kill everyone near and dear to him. I’ll save his luscious mate for the end. I will make her mine first, promising her if she submits to me, I’ll let Nikolai live. And then when I’m finished, I slit h

“What time is the summit again?” I ask Draq for what feels like the millionth time today. “I’ve told you multiple times Mary it is at nightfall.” Draq replies, his tone showing just how exasperated he was with me. “It’s essential for you to visit the market today, Mary.” Dru states, “On the day of the summit it’s important for the Village to know that their Queen has their back. Nikolai will be introducing a new law today, and its one the village folks will support.”“Do I finally get to know this secretly law?” I ask raising my eyebrow at the both of them.“I guess it’s safe enough for us to spill the beans now.” Kade replies making me jump. I had forgotten the he and Nevaeh were accompanying us to the village today. I turn my full attention to Kade, intrigued on what the new law was. “Nikolai, since meeting you, has discovered a flaw in the system, one that should have been apparent as soon as he became king, but he didn’t notice it until he realized how poorly you and your fami
