Empress From Another World Novels & Stories

Hearing this, the Empress could not help but return his smile. Her two shallow dimples appeared when her slender lips curved, giving her a very charming and sweet appearance. She was the Empress of the country, yet an outsider was telling her to act freely. The Empressed turned to one of her attendants. The attendant immediately walked over, took out a piece of cloth, and set it on the chair for the Empress to sit. James asked, “Your Majesty, which age was the Sir Galileo you mentioned just now from? Is he from the Primordial Age, Ancient Heavenly Court Age, or the Primeval Age?”

River waved back and looked at Martha. “He is handsome, dear,” the elderly lady giggled making River roll her eyes. “If you like him then maybe keep him,” River offered her, but Martha didn’t mind. She chuckled with a wave of her hand, “Oh, initially I thought it was Marwick Garner. CEO of Garner Empire. But if this Marwick is your husband, then you can have him, dear. I am not interested.” “Ha-ha,” River also laughed with the lady, “that Marwick Garner is out of the question of course ma’am. Ha-ha.”

She wore moss-green sleeves rolled to her elbows, as if royalty could also knead bread. The second her gaze found me, the whole room warmed. “So this is the storm’s girl,” she said. Her voice was velvet over iron. “Zoey,” I corrected quickly. My voice cracked. “I answer to Zoey.” Her smile deepened. “Then Zoey it is.” Alexander bowed his head. Not much, but enough to tell me she wasn’t just grandma knitting afghans. This was someone even the Wolf King didn’t cross. “Grandmother,” he said. “She needs shelter.”

She was already in front of me, all fake sweetness and glowing skin, like some budget version of a Disney villain with lip gloss. She reached out, gently took my hands in hers, and said in that soft, manipulative voice, “Please don’t be upset, Essy. I’m just doing all this for Asher. He’s happy, and I know that deep down, you want your son to be happy too, right?” Oh. So now she was the Queen of Empathy. I yanked my hands away. And that’s when she pushed me. I wasn’t ready, and I wasn’t steady. She took me unawares. I slipped, and the back of my head slammed against the wooden stool behind me. My phone and the comb I was still holding clattered to the floor.

Quietly, discreetly, he felt down the pack bond for Empusa and found…sadness. He said nothing; sure Empusa would refuse to discuss it. Empusa had come to the castle already immortal, but it had been his comfortable and familiar home for centuries. It must be hard to see it damaged and empty and so different than it had ever been. William sent him strength through their bond, and a very subtle calmness he borrowed from Emily. He smiled to himself at the decrease in the level of sadness emanating from Empusa; who made no move to indicate he was aware of what William had done.

E C S T A S Y Joel creaked open Emily's door as silently as he could,thinking she was asleep. He entered the room and closed the door behind him. "Where are you coming from?" Emily who was standing by the light switch asked and immediately switched on the light. For the first time in his life,the CEO of EMPIRE WORLD CORPORATIONS felt chills down his spine as he stopped in his tracks. He had always said it, the woman standing before her was the devil. She-devil.
