Imposter King Novels & Stories

Victor approached the commotion. "Is there a problem here?" "Mr. Victor!" Anna chirped, sliding into her most professional persona. "I was just informing Mrs. Miller—well, ex-Mrs. Miller—that I am Aris. I believe my application was processed this morning?" Mr. Victor looked at Anna, then at the tablet in his hand. He seemed hesitant, but the lure of having the "Tech God" return to his stage was too great for his ego to ignore. "The digital signature provided matches the historical encrypted keys of Aris's early work. If you claim the title, the committee accepts. We have missed your brilliance."

Maddox chuckles, “like you are in the position to negotiate.” Silence… “Don't you want to look into the eyes of your mate?” “You're not my mate,” I scoff. “If you were to stand side by side with the real, Zion. I'd know you are the imposter.” “Oh, really?” He huffs out. “Hmm, you will have to enlighten me. Especially when I am identical to the Alpha King in every way. I mirror his movements, the way he speaks and demands authority everywhere he goes without seeking it.”

“Why would he put a monkey wrench in the imposter king’s plan?” “Careful what you say there, princess. King Orvis won’t take kindly to being called an imposter,” she cooed. “Jack is a king in his own right. Did you know that?” I shook my head. “Well he is,” she said with an admiring tone. “He’s king of the vampires of earth. He has a legion of vampires at his disposal, should he wish to call them forth.” “Aren’t you risking that by taking me to marry the king?” I asked. “He is my guardian after all.”

I learned to wear the mask of a king, to hide my doubts and insecurities behind a façade of confidence. Yet, no matter how much I learned, no matter how well I played the part, I could never shake the feeling that I was an impostor. The throne was meant for Ian. Ian, who had been groomed for this role since birth. Ian, who had the natural charisma and strength to lead our people. I feel like a pale imitation, a shadow of the ruler my brother would have been.

“Have you seen the king?” She nods. “Yes your majesty, he's in his office”. I shoot her a dismissive look and she scurries away. I continue my walk to his office alone, as soon as I get there I knock on the metal door and a guard opens the door. I ignore him and proceed with entering inside the office but he stops me. “Are you crazy?”. I spit fiercely, is this some kind of a joke? “No your majesty, it's just that the king has strongly ordered that no one be allowed entry into his offi–”.

"My name is Beta Jax Clyde. I am the King's right hand." "It's nice to meet you, sir," she said as she finally dragged her eyes up, in awe of his beauty as well. While she had been distracted by the King as soon as she walked in, the Beta blocking her view of him forced her to take in how attractive he is. She didn't even realize that she was still holding his hand, though no longer shaking it, until the King let out a soft growl. Beta Jax cleared his throat, turning to gesture to the man, who was now sitting rigid in his chair. "This is the Lycan King, Alpha Kenzo."

A crystal glass rested untouched beside him. His amber eyes remained fixed on a chessboard. He slowly moved a black knight forward. Across from him stood Vale, watching quietly. A hesitant knock interrupted the silence. "Enter." The steel door opened. The spy walked in. His shirt clung to his back with sweat. He had clearly run the entire way after losing sight of Kaizen. He bowed immediately. "My Chairman." Without looking up from the chessboard, the Chairman spoke. "You followed them." "Yes, sir." "And?"

JAXSON "Smile, Feya. People are taking photos," I murmured, keeping my voice low as we stepped out into the freezing air of the quad. "Smiling without a genuine emotional trigger creates an unnatural facial contortion," Feya said flatly, her eyes locked on the stone steps. "Observers will recognize the disingenuous nature of the expression." God, this woman. "They don't want genuine, Ghost," I said, slinging my arm over her shoulder and pulling her against my side. "They want to see that the Ice King hasn't lost his mind over a bad game, and that his genius girlfriend isn't dumping him."

"He's as stupid as anything. I wonder how he's in the security department. He's going to be executed real soon. I can see it." "By that woman? She calls herself King." The second man said and everyone burst into laughter. "I still can't believe that a pack as strong as that is making a woman their King." "She kills anyone who calls her Queen and people say she's quite intimidating," Dimitri said. "But there's one funny thing." "Which is?"
