A Bug's Life Queen Novels & Stories

“Why do you say that?” Linhua thinks back to the Queen’s reaction when she saw the blonde’s face, and shakes her head. As if her trouble thoughts are making her thirty, she lifts the cup and drowns the rest of the drink inside. “The Queen is obsessed with her,” she says a little too loudly. The door opens just as the words leaves her mouth, and Linhua flies to her feet, while choking on her spit. She stares wide-eyed at the Queen who just emerged from the inner chamber.

“Sleep together, huh? Of course I'll do it. I am Maia Queen. I will never give up until I die! I will conquer you, Juan O'Neil, until you forget the pain your wife has caused you!” If the Maia Queen is determined, then it will definitely happen.

Kiana watches her, a small smile resting on her lips. There is something comforting about this. The movement. The voices. The certainty that everything is coming together. “Do you like it?” the Queen asks suddenly, turning back to her. Kiana blinks, then looks down at herself. At the fabric. At the details. At the care woven into every thread. “Yes,” she says softly. Then, with more certainty, “I love it.” The Queen’s expression softens. “Good,” she says. “It should be worthy of you.”

“I’m not used to hiding behind others! I owed you my life, so we’re even now.” Alex was speechless. ‘Don’t I seem to be in a life-threatening situation?’ “Say that after you kill these bugs!” “Aren’t they dead yet?” Claudia asked. “You’re overthinking. These are the kings of insects. They are the most powerful of their kind. Even experts of Incarnate Deity try to avoid them.” As he finished speaking, breaking sounds came from the two ice statues. The golden bugs were untouched. Furious, they crashed their way out of the ice, screaming loudly and waving their antennas. Behind them, the group of red bugs swarmed up.

Inhaling longer than even Rex could, the queen exhaled loudly, her four eyes closing for a second, “Even though we are of differing races, we can share memories with other queens. Balrog showed us her final moments as her spirit was leaving the physical realm, begging for someone to take up the mantle of taking revenge on you for her death, but I saw you show adaptability, resourcefulness and the help of a powerful being, the things I require to root out my problem. Imagine my delight when my scouts relayed seeing someone matching your description had arrived at my realm’s doorstep, showing that same set of skills you showed in Dracoterrum.” “So you’re offering me a favour for a favour?” Rex

the queen declared. For a moment Eureka was momentarily scared, what if it did not work? And what if the Succubus queen actually succeeded? ‘Now Eureka!’ Eureka thought she heard Andy’s voice say in her mind, but she hesitated. “You are as weak as your mother,” the queen said laughing at Eureka. “By the way your mother is a b**ch.” “What did you say?” Eureka asked glaring. “You heard me b**ch!” the queen sniggered.

When Queen stopped hearing her footsteps, she turned and stared at her in surprise. Q shook her head, "No, I don't think I can help you anymore." She wanted to leave her behind, but Ashton's girlfriend begged, "Please, please, I'm begging you, don't leave me here, please. I don't want to die." Queen sighed in frustration and walked back. She stared at the trap and shook her head. She knew that trying to save the lady was going to cost them both their lives because even if she got free, she would not be able to run.

“And I’m sure Queen Bee’s part of your organization. I’m not a fool, Silver.” He finally stood, padding to the glass wall. “Then, it happens I ain't the only one after your life. Queen Bee is invincible, and she does her thing her way.” I tried to shake off the thoughts because I watched Ari die, and one female kingpin doesn't mean the dead come back to life. Still, I’ve never met any Queen Bee, not even in my dreams. So, what does she want with me? “She offered a fortune for my wife to vanish. I want to see her, and know what her beef with me is,” I said desperately. “Because if she plays tricks again, I’d put a bullet in her head.”

Not while I sit here. When the meeting ended, I walked out slowly, letting my heels click against the stone floor. That sound always gave me confidence, like I was leaving an imprint with every step. Wolves greeted me respectfully. “Councilwoman Helen,” they called me. Each greeting was proof of how far I had come and proof that my power had solidified. But that power was fragile as long as Clarissa existed.

“Beyond what you have ever been allowed to understand.” My fingers trembled slightly. “You simply have not awakened it.” The words echoed. Awakened. “I do not know how,” I admitted quietly. “You will learn,” she replied. That didn’t feel like an answer. It felt like something else. Something unfinished. I looked down again, my thoughts spinning. Nothing made sense. Nothing felt real. Before I could speak again, the Queen shifted slightly, her tone changing. “In this territory,” she said calmly, “you do not need to work.”
