Killer Queen's Double Life Novels & Stories

"Dagerstanteen killer." "Dilma, hold your tongue." A second elder pushed past the angry old lady and came closer to Queen Shay. The woman was old as well, but under her wrinkles, Ike would see she was once a beautiful Albeon woman. She held out her hand to Shay's cheek. "She is alive," the king stated.

"Rumor has it, he had a second daughter, a werewolf unable to shift. But she was fortunate enough to become the Lycan King's mate." "I heard she fled from the Silver Pack before my assault on the Red Moon Pack. Who's to say she hasn't maintained an alliance with the Silver Pack, orchestrating the resurrection of her fallen kin?" Kain's words hung heavily in the air, a web of uncertainty and intrigue. "Hmmm, let me think. Isn't her name... Chloe?" Kain's casual utterance sent shockwaves through me. In that instant, a frigid grip clamped around my heart, filling me with a chilling dread.

A knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts. "Come in." The door opened, and my son came into view. My heart ached. He looked so much like his father. I loved him dearly. I was his fated mate—at least, that's what he told me. I met him on one of my quests while searching for Princess Verbena. I gave him two children, but he pressured me to leave Balzaree and my place in the kingdom for good, so when Hudson was able to take his place as Alpha, I killed him. Queen Aster must never find out about my double life.

Not because of the Chairman, but because of her. She wanted a "blackened heart" survivor? Fine. She was about to find out that mine was still beating. And it was beating for her. Even if I had to chase her to the ends of the earth. I headed for the elevator, my mind already three steps ahead. The search was on. And the world was about to find out exactly how dangerous a man can be when he finds out his Queen is still on the board. The King was still there. But the Queen was moving in the shadows. And I was the only one who knew the secret.

"Would you need anything else? Oh I was told you are refusing to eat. Well, Anna, that isn't going to help the two of us. If you really don't want any sort of disagreement with me then, do only as I say. And don't try to escape, that should be out of your reasoning." Anna sniffed, wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand but that wouldn't stop her tears from from flowing. And her heart for breaking… "I will be back with your breakfast and oh, one last thing. Do not allow a soul know about this arrangement. Otherwise, you and the person would be buried alive." To Anna, the Queen was damn serious because even if not for anything, she was the wife of a serial killer. Nothing would be too hard

I am utterly in awe of the beautiful creature in front of me. “Our mate.” Rohan mutters dreamily. “Our queen.” I agree.

They look as they should. Perfect. Untouched. Then the Queen Mother arrives. Her presence shifts the entire room. Silence follows her. Power follows her. “Where is my daughter in law?” she asks, her sharp gaze moving across the hall before settling on Lila and Viola. I do not answer. Not immediately. Something in her voice feels different. Heavier. More knowing. My mind moves quickly. Kiana is not here. She should . The thought settles. Slow. Unwelcome. My gaze shifts toward the doors.

“She was wonderful. And very vivid, as you say.” “I’ve known many of the Queens,” Mindy says, putting her elbow on the table and her chin on her hand as she sips her tea, making my eyebrows raise yet again. “That Beth had no time for me – but she was a sanctimonious fool – and I only knew the King’s young bride only briefly. But I knew Mahl’s first wife quite well. And his mother. And grandmother.” I blink at her, rather shocked. This woman in her little forest house – she certainly has connections, doesn’t she? “How?” I whisper.

“Because she's what I erased.” Selene stopped. The double smiled. “Finally.” She turned toward Caelan. “You remember.” Caelan wiped blood from his mouth. “I remember everything.” “Then tell her.” “No.” “Tell her who you killed.” Caelan looked at Selene. “I killed the wrong one.” The words silenced everyone. Selene's voice shook. “Who?” Caelan stared at the two identical women. “The Queen.” The double smiled. “And which one?” Caelan didn't answer.

Herald the cat seemed to tire of the censored talk as he said, “Alissa, there is not much time. The Queen of Cards is a merciless woman, she sends out troops from time to time to capture spoils and creatures of the land and she either uses them for furniture or chops off their heads! “Herald!” Mr Duck protested. “No, she must know,” Herald retorted. “There is chaos whenever she is present, death and destruction, and that awful ghastly creature she commands!” Herald began to groan and visibly shake.
