Fallen Queen Novels & Stories

But her hands trembled. Because she’d chosen strategy over emotion. And still… Her people had bled. At the top of the ruins, she raised her sword to the moon. “To the fallen,” she said. “To the flame.” And the wind carried her voice far across the valleys and rivers of a realm that now, more than ever, believed in one thing: Their Queen would not fall. Not to fear. Not to darkness. Not even to the weight of her own choices.

“Next you’ll say you’re communing with the spirits of sweaty warriors past.” I placed a dramatic hand over my heart. “You mock me, but I’m manifesting. One day, I’ll live in a castle with silken sheets and gold floors that clean themselves. There’ll be no mopping. Just gowns. And my prince charming will bring me breakfast in bed.” “Selene,” Liora deadpanned, “you’re an omega in Moonbane Pack, not a Disney princess.” “Yet,” I said, wagging my mop handle at her. “Y-e-t.”

“You wouldn’t have heard of it. It’s strictly between heaven, hell and the fallen.” “What’s a fallen?” “It’s someone who used to be an angel in a past life. When they’re resurrected, they’re identified by a specific birth mark. You, my dear, are one of the fallen. You should have a birth mark that’s shaped like a star. It’s in different places for different individuals but your parents found yours on your hipbone.” What the hell. This is way too much information that I wasn’t expecting. I’m essentially in the middle of a holy war, if what she’s saying is the truth.

⸻ Amara flinched. ⸻ Even after everything— The scream was horrible. ⸻ Lucian stepped slightly in front of her again. ⸻ Instinct. ⸻ Always instinct. ⸻ The Fallen Celestial looked toward Amara one final time. ⸻ Then it said something that chilled everyone. ⸻ “The Queen returns.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “So must the King.” ⸻ The world went silent. ⸻ Amara’s blood ran cold.

His face was pale, eyes wide. “My king,” he gasped. “We found one of the inner servants dead… in the east corridor.” A silence thick as smoke filled the air. “How?” I asked, voice lethal. The warrior swallowed. “His blood… it was used to scrawl words on the wall.” “Which words?” Serena whispered. The warrior trembled. “The Queen Shall Fall.” The chamber erupted in chaos...gasps, cries, voices rising in panic. Serena’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes wide with dread.

Marcus watched me as if I were a bad joke. "Putting on a show." He sneered. "You think just making a call will" His words died on his lips. Because a loud roar suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone turned their heads, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the sky, a black private helicopter was slowly descending. On the side of the fuselage, a prominent silver 'V' crest was emblazoned. That was the Vanguard family crest. The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Two of my guards approached quickly, and the nervous look on one man’s face told me the night had just gotten worse. “Darius found something,” he said. My stomach tightened. “Show me.” The guard handed me a phone. A surveillance image filled the screen, and my blood turned cold. The man from the ballroom wasn’t alone. Three additional figures stood beside him outside the hotel. Every single one of them appeared in the files connected to Operation Kingfall. Every single one of them had been marked as dead. “What is it?” Zariah asked. I handed her the phone. The color drained from her face. “Oh my God.”

Against all odds. But holding is not the same as winning. And eventually, they could not hold anymore. I turned the page. And found a portrait. Just a sketch, really. Pen and ink. Faded with age. A woman. She was not young in the portrait, but she was not old either. She was somewhere in between, in that particular place where a person stops looking like what they were and starts looking like what they are. Her hair was loose. Her expression was not afraid. Mira. Last Queen of the Witch Covens. Keeper of the High Flame. Killed in the forty-third year of the Crimson War by Aldric the Elder, great-great-grandfather of the current Alpha King.

he said and turned back to leave. The Queen fell on her knees, and with no balance, she rolled over to the lifeless body and pool of blood. Her face and the entire attire she wore looked ridiculous as she fell back into the heap of bodies. Alpha Boron on the other hand sat down with no idea of what to do. The palace looked ghastly and the splash of blood on Alpha Boron shone brightly against the white light of the walls.

In that moment, with the distant rumble of enemy forces and the haunting echo of the prophecy ringing in her ears, the future of the Luna Queen, her kingdom, and her love with Ryker teetered on the edge of oblivion. A final, shattering declaration from Selene, her voice a mix of defiance and despair: “For every betrayal, a king must fall... and for every king, a queen must rise. This is not the end… it is only the beginning.”
