Novel & Cerita Every Queen Needs A King

Before I could speak, another council member added, “But there is one matter that must be addressed. No Alpha King rules alone. A partner must stand beside you—a Prince Consort.” I froze. The words struck me harder than the first. A consort. A male partner. Someone to stand with me as I ruled in Cassius’ name. My throat tightened. “My father is still alive,” I said quickly. “How can I take another man beside me when he still breathes besides I’m just acting and not a real king?” They exchanged glances, murmurs filling the chamber. Finally, the councilor spoke again. “It is tradition. An Alpha King cannot rule without a mate at his side. In your case, a man. Until His Majesty returns, you mus

Ever since they found out about the crime I committed, they’ve been on my case, hurling insults at me every day. “My king.” “Enough, Han, stop trying to rub salt in my wound.” “We’re saying this for the benefit of our people. A king needs his queen beside him,” another elder said. “Most especially his heir. Since you lost your mate to another king.” He coughed. “We can’t say when the goddess will give you a second chance, mate. I think you should step down until you have another mate, a second chance, mate.” I looked at the mess in front of me.

"Oscar!" He pulled me upright, laughing. "Just making sure you're properly warmed up for your grand entrance." As he set me back on my feet, I looked around at my four Kings—each so different, each so essential to who I'd become. My heart swelled with love for them. "I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else," I said softly. "Any of it. Being queen, ruling this kingdom, starting new traditions... it only works because of the five of us together."

he said, his voice measured. “That’s not an answer,” I replied. A muscle in his jaw flexed. “You know how pack leadership works,” he said. “It’s just like British royalty.” “Explain.” I folded my arms across my chest. “Female queens can never elevate their consorts to kings,” he muttered. “Look at Prince Albert and Prince Philip.” My lips pursed. Reading between the lines, I understood the logic of what he was trying to say, but I needed to know what on earth made him think I wouldn’t murder him the moment he stole my power. “All right, but what’s that got to do with us?”

"You wanted to be a Queen? You wanted the luxury of the palace? Here it is. All the silk you can touch. All the food you can eat." He turned the key in the lock. The door swung open with a long, mournful creak. "But you won't be leaving it," Ethan continued. "Not without me. You wanted to be 'Abigail' so badly? Now you get to be her forever. A silent, beautiful thing I keep behind glass. No more running. No more secret letters to my brother. No more lying." Noah looked at the bars, then back at the King. "You're insane. You can't keep a Queen in a cage. The court will see. The people—"

He said in a low voice, “Baby, how could this be enough? The night is still long…” His magnetic voice conveyed the most primal desire, thick with eroticism. Adrian had shed his gentlemanly facade, revealing himself to be a beast of astonishing stamina.

“But no. Haven’t you always eyed his throne, Alex? Haven’t you waited secretly for the day that you would have the chance to be here, ruling over his pack?” “Greatness is an ambition that is not limited to any man,” Alex nodded. “If you were in my shoes, you would do the same, Rosella.” Rosella stared at him. “You now call me by my name.” “Considering the fact that your husband is no longer the King,” Alex continued. “There cannot be a Queen without a King.” Rosella shook her head. “I promise you, Alex,” she said. “You would pay for this.” She turned around and marched out of the throne room and no one dared to stop her.

Her eyes searched mine, what was she looking for? Her hand presses against my chest as she continued to stare into my eyes. “Why do I need to be Queen if you are a King?” I realised what she was doing, she was asking Atlas, not me. Atlas pushed forward, taking control. He was getting far too good at it and quicker too. ‘A King isn’t anything without his Queen.’ “What are you going to do?” Aria asks quietly. ‘Take control, put all the idiots back in their place. Let the humans know that they are weak.’

I look to one side of me and then the other as the Alphas that came with me all step forward and shift. “You see, a King must prove himself worthy of the King of Alpha’s position. The same goes for the Queen of Alpha’s unless she is the King’s true mate. So for you to become Queen, you must get me to step down, which will make Stella’s place as Queen null and void. However, you would then need to convince these fine powerful Alphas standing here in front of you that you deserve to take my place as their ruler..."

Luna Callie said. “It's true a Queen needs her King's love, but a Queen never needs a king to survive. It's the other way around,” Ava said with a dark, emotionless voice. “A King's love makes a Queen. Or there wouldn't be any difference between a Queen and a mistress,” Luna Callie said with a dark Smirk. Xavier's hand fisted as the word left her mouth. Ava smiled at her words. Xavier was about to say something when Ava beat him into it.
