Focus On Yourself King Novels & Stories

"Stand by me, Hazel," I climbed the first step and stood by his side. He looked at everyone for a while before raising his cup in the air. "Firstly, I'd love to make a toast to my parents for their safe recovery. You know, as King, I made a lot of stupid mistakes. We all do. It took a while for me to finally come to terms with the fact that as King, I do not have to be perfect. The only thing I have to do is be there for everyone. Try as much as possible to serve as King, serve as brother, son and friend. And most importantly, serve as husband!" He looked down at me for a brief moment and I smiled. When I turned, my friends were surprised, including Zion."

Oh god lord help me, I sound like my own mother! “Yes ma’am.” Koa sounded defeated. The King was silent, just standing there staring at me. “Do you understand?!” I repeated myself directly to him this time. “I am the King. I take orders from no one!” He puffed out his chest and squared his shoulders at me.

he noted. "Because I'm not, but it's okay," I said. Who was I to question how the king thought? I needed to focus on myself. I had the liberty to do that, so I should do a good job. It was just me, and no one else, not even my mate at this point.

Everyone could call him their king, but I would rather gouge my eyes out than live another day and call him my king. I would not do that. Never. “I have made up my mind, Alden. I know you will try to convince me to stay, but the king is stubborn. He’s selfish and he only thinks of his likes and dislikes. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself,” I stated confidently.

He thought he could humiliate me, but now that he saw it wouldn’t work, he was already moving on to his next target. His eyes shifted to Kylan beside him. “Did you—” “She’s speaking,” Kylan said simply, cutting him off. “Focus on her.” A low growl came from the king as he sank back into his chair. His arms folded across his chest, and he almost seemed like a child scolded in front of his peers. No matter what, this king just wouldn’t stop embarrassing himself. With Kylan backing me, I held my ground and continued. “I was interested in the state of the people in the kingdom I would one day help rule alongside Kylan,” I said. “And after what I saw in those mountains…I wasn’t impressed.”

“How was he when you saw him? And don’t pretend you already answered. I know you beat the hell out of him, so don’t sugarcoat it.” His jaw tightens, and for the first time, guilt flashes across his face. “It gave us a story,” he says, his voice quieter now, almost apologetic. “He’ll recover. I made sure the blade missed anythin' important. He’s sore, but he’s fine. Queenie, I promise. But honestly? Focus on yourself right now.” His words light a fire in me. “Focus on myself?” My voice rises, sharp and defiant. “He’s part of me, Big King. How the hell am I supposed to focus on myself when half of me is locked up? I have to focus on him too.”

Most pack members were looking at them at this point, but they shifted their attention each time the Alpha king turned to them. “You all would behave yourselves this minute ! Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see that everyone is watching? What do you want them to think of me? To think of you? Get a grip of yourself!” He declared defiantly.

But as I closed my eyes, feeling the cold stillness resting deep inside my chest, I knew one thing for certain. I was no longer just running from my fear. Something inside me was changing, and I would have to grow strong if I wanted to survive the kings who claimed me.

I mumbled as I made sure that I would no longer space out. I was so sure that the king didn’t move away from his spot, so… How the heck is he standing directly in front of me right now? "If you want to save Yve, focus." His words were sharp. I was frozen to the ground and was only maintaining the strength I had left on my feet. "What should I do?"

I said clearly, my voice carried powerfully across the room, my decision absolute. "There is still the food chain Alpha. if we are stronger, we have-" My eyes flashed, glaring at the man who had spoken. I stood up, my aura swirling around me like a fucking tornado. The last fucking thing I needed was a civil fucking war or tension from within the kingdom. "I'm the fucking king here, and if you want to defy anyone, remember that I stand for those who cannot fend for themselves." I growled. Casting one cold glare at the table, I turned away, this meeting was over for the day. I was fucking done.
