From Pawn To Queen Novels & Stories

Staring at the troops of ten black pawns lined up at the borderline of the enemy territory, Sir Rowan passed Zen three white chess pieces — the rook, a horse and a pawn. “The pawns can move two spaces forward each in this game. They can move diagonally when intercepting the enemy pawn. Your job is to prevent any pawns from reaching the baseline with only these three pieces. At the beginning of the game, you can place them anywhere you like in your territory. You need to last for ten moves.” A simulation event!

Alex and Hayley were told to be the best players and they were about to find out that how much of it is true. "Start." Rosé yelled and it was Hayley's turn to start. She moved the pawn to its front by one position. "Be careful." She said and Alex sassily brushed his hair back. He also moved the pawn but was a bit different from Hayley. "Smart aren't you." Hayley chuckled. "That I am." He replied. Hayley moved the bishop to the front standing it right beside the pawn. Alex didn't say anything and moved the knight at the front, guarding the king.

The queen was powerful so I was aiming for it. “Sure about that?” he sniggered. “Look at a different angle.” “You don’t care. This is my strategy!” He shrugged with an intense smile. “Whatever.” Just as I’ve taken his horse, his queen captured the pawn I had moved. “Check.” My eyes widened. Checkmate already? No way! My king could still move one block. I pushed it vertically. He laughed again. Damn this abnormal guy! He nudged his finger at his bishop so that it was blocking my king. “Check.”

"He refused." "Well then who's going to―" The words catch in my throat as realization hits me. "You want Shawn to be the new werewolf king?" "I do," she says, turning to look at my mate. Shawn's normal composure is gone, replaced by shock. He stares at the queen with wide eyes. "I would be honored Queen Zari," he mutters, bowing his head again. "Does that mean you accept?" He glances at me. "If I do, you will be the Werewolf Queen and Luna of the packs, is that okay with you?" He asks.

As one of his pawns advanced across the board, Master Kai asked, "Do you know anything about chess, that you have opted to play with me?" "No, master, I do not know anything about chess since no one was there to teach me but I do know that chess is similar to a royal family, in which the queen is the most powerful member, whereas the king is the weakest, and in which all other members — including the pawns, knights, and bishops — are devoted to protect the king till their last breath." Dillon dismounted from his horse and continued, "In the war of chess, many members will die and perish, but I must preserve the queen's life for the sake of the king."

The first thing I think to myself as his words sink in me is ‘what the fuck is he talking about’. What pawn? What revenge game? I feel the dots are staring me right in the face and I can't just seem to connect them. The confusion must be evident on my face because right now, it's Adrian that's laughing and not me anymore.

How stupid can this servants be? Dev lowered her head, her body shaking with fright. She then cupped her trembling hands and blurted out the truth. “My Lord, The Queen only took a bite on the bun and suddenly collapsed. She…she would be better after a while…”She said in a shaky voice. The sweat poured out like a stream of fear, trickling down her cheeks as the throat suddenly became sparse. Dev gulped down, trying to pull herself back to her original composure. “What?!”

I wanted to repair the scars or at least die trying. Because I had no way of anticipating that my mate would be my enemy. And, I had no way anticipating that I wouldn't only be compelled to die for her but I'd willingly do it, I'd protect her with my dying breath. The white-haired princess with eyes as black as coal and skin as pale as stars was destined to be Queen. She just hadn't realized that it was written in her fate yet. All she had to do was reach out and grab it with both hands but first, she had to step out of the darkness because darkness blinded her.

I had to stop her. “No. You are wrong. He isn’t any pawn. He is a king. And I am his queen. You know Selena, a queen always protects her king in the game of chess!” I said with the same intensity. Selena was taken a bit back. Okay, this was going well. I was doing good.

They were all going to be laid back and he would be the one doing the dirty work. "Join us now or forever become misrable Carl!" Sofia stated one last time. Carl looked at each men and then at the board and knew that his position was at the front of Sofia. The reason for this he already deduce was because there were other pawn like him out there but he was the special pawn; the posionus pawn, the queen's pawn. Once he fully stepped into the board, he took one last look at Sofia, who nudged him to step forward and he eventually did.
