How To Play Kings Game 소설 & 이야기

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The King took her hand in his, pressing a kiss to the back of her hair. "There's no need for all of these formalities, Kendra. My name is Kenzo, and soon you'll be officially recongized as my mate, so that is what you should call me."

They stared at each other in silence until Kane broke it. "Let's play a game." King's lips parted for a bit when he saw Kane playfully smirk. "Never have I ever." "Can I say no?" "Come on, it's a harmless game, King. I just want to know you more. Like you said, let's make the most of this month." He really wanted to say no because he had a feeling Kane was up to something again. "One condition." Kane's eyebrow furrowed. "Yeah?"

He brushed the dirt away and placed them back on the board. “So, you play chess,” Knox stated softly. Cole nodded eagerly. Knox smiled. “Mind if I join?” Cole’s eyes widened. “Really?” Knox nodded once. I watched as Cole hurriedly reset the board with excitement, and then they both began to play. It was surprising to see the Alpha King sitting on the floor, playing chess with a small boy. Soon enough, the other children noticed that the Alpha King was playing with Cole, and curiosity drew them in. They hesitated at first, watching from a distance, but when Knox didn’t send them away, or even glare at them, they moved closer.

“Truth or dare over cards? Feeling brave, cowboy?” Kade gave her that slow, crooked grin. The one that said he was either about to charm you or wreck your life. “Princess, I’m not scared of a single thing in this room.” “Mmm,” she hummed, lips curling. “Not even me?” “Especially not you,” he said, voice dipping low, “but keep lookin’ at me like that and we’re gonna have a different kind of game goin’ on.” Her cheeks flushed, but her stare didn’t waver. She drew a card, tossed it between them. “Red means dare. Black is truth. Let’s play.”

He said, and began placing them in other arrangements. “You always love picking black, it's not like I wouldn't capture your king.” I boasted, placing my queen next to my king. And the game began! As Alaric moved his queen out, I burst out in laughter, pushing my knight forward. “Tip for you here, buddy, don't let your king go unprotected.” I said, and the game was going on in my favor until I didn't know how tables turned. Alaric was now winning and it made my blood boil.

"Okay, now listen to me carefully. You need to get out of here, and you need to do it quick. I don't know how longer I can hold my senses. The aphrodisiac is quite powerful. Can you do that?" Sophia nodded again, her big eyes fixed on the man's face. Despite everything that had happened, she felt safe around him. His words and his touch gave her a sense of security that she hadn't ever felt with Marvin or anyone else that she could remember. "Good. Listen, when you get to the door. Open it. The key card is right there on the table. Shut this room's door and make your way to Room 128. Knock on the door three times, and if your companions are in, they will let you in. You understand, kitty?"

Alpha Leo’s POV She looked at me with confusion in her eyes. She couldn't believe what I said for a moment as her mouth opened and closed on its own. “What… What was the meaning of what you just said? Games and rules? Why would an Alpha play games in his mansion? Are you going to create some gaming stations in the mansion where you and I will be playing games?” She asked, feigning ignorance, but it was clear to me that she knew that wasn't what I meant.

I asked setting the next four cards down so he could see them. “Yes, and depending on the game, each card is assigned a value. The royal family cards are the highest with the king having the most value. The number cards don’t carry as much value next to the royal family.” He explained showing me the different cards. “So, the game I am going to teach you first is a basic game most children learn to help them learn how to pair things and to learn patterns. I’ll start you off easy and then after a couple rounds, I’m going to launch a full-scale war on you.” He declared with a serious look that made me laugh heartily. He laughed with me, taking my hand and kissing it. “I won't go down without a

The burning question rose from my chest and slipped out through my lips. Finally, I was able to ask him, "Chasel, just who are you?" He paused, tilting his head to the left, and said, "My name is Chester, and I'm the Alpha King."

Ava grabs my arm and whispers into my ear quickly, “Are you sure?” I nod. “I’ll be fine. No need to tell my idiot brother or keep you dragged into this. Just go.” Jacob produces a deck of cards from his back pocket. “Simplified version of Kinds Cup. Just leaves the drinking part.” He waves at the bartender, who quickly throws together a large glass of mixed alcohol. God, that’s disgusting. “Only rule? If you draw the final King in the pile, you’ll have to drink the whole damn glass.” I nod, though the idea of that glass of alcohol makes me feel disgusting.
