Kings Game Rules Novels & Stories

“Fascinating. Lucien looked ready to tear the throne apart. And yet here you are, locked away like a secret he doesn’t want to admit.” Rowan released him and stepped back, expression turning thoughtful. “Do you know what happens to male omegas who catch a king’s eye?” Caelan swallowed. “They are… removed. Quietly.” “Sometimes.” Rowan tilted his head. “Sometimes they become weapons. Pawns. Lovers. Corpses.” He smiled, all teeth. “My brother has never taken a mate. The law forbids it, you see. A king must breed heirs with a proper royal female. Anything else invites challenge. Rebellion. War.”

Brian took out a piece of paper and read from it. “For this round, we would be playing the game of... Chess” and there were applause and cheers from the people. The game of chess was one of the games the royals in the werewolf clan enjoyed. In this game, the wisdom of the kings are being tested. The way the game is played amongst the royals are quite different. They do not move the piece themselves but have two 9f their guards do the moving. The game is played with a giant pieces of chess and it has it’s markings on the floor.

I have more pieces of his than he has of mine, so I must be close to winning. “Check and mate,” Max responds, as he deposits his piece into place. I blink and look down at the board in confusion. I’ve lost? Impossible! I check every piece of mine before my eyes land on the King. Just as Max has claimed, I can’t move without him taking my piece and as the rules state, if the King is taken, I lose. I am so dumbfounded by this revelation that I almost don’t hear Max’s words. “You agree, right? That since I won, I deserve a prize?” He repeats his words as if sensing I haven’t taken them in.

The storm has trapped us here, cut off the couriers, and silenced the frantic energy of the Keep. “That’s aggressive,” I note, studying the board. “Sacrificing your bishop?” “It’s a gambit,” he says, leaning back on his hands. “If you take the bishop, I take your queen. If you don’t take the bishop, I take your rook. Either way, you lose a piece of clothing.” “Those are not the official rules of chess.” “They are the official rules of Storm Chess,” Kieran corrects. “I am the Alpha. I legislate.”

Little did the stupid king know that I still had alot of fight left and I'm as stubborn as hell. "Alright let's go over the rules again" matty said with a silver whip that been dipped in the hybrid mixture in his gloved hand. "No killing anyone" I said with a smirk " except the king and his pathetic sons" I added he growled then brought the whip down on my bare back making me screamed as the pain radiated throughout my body. "You will respect the royal family" I rolled my eyes earning the whip to hit my already busted back 5 more times. "Fine, I will temporarily respect them." I growled through my teeth

He hoped that this wasn't going to cost him too greatly. He took a deep breath and laid out a similar set of rules to the game he'd played to summon Lexi that first time they'd met. "Four Count Stand-off and playing to fifteen. Standard points for minors and all the majors are ten. Court cards count for 5 and the Fool is special with a value of either one or ten, the player's choice. Winner gets the dragon-slaying sword." Seeing his brother nod his understanding, Jinx stopped shuffling and dealt out the first card to the 'house'.

“Vera, I know you think I am bad, evil and someone who is up to no good but you should understand that in the scheme of things, I have to be a bit firm sometimes to be able to create a balance in our world.” I felt he was sounding gibberish and he could see how obstinate I was. Suddenly, he lashed his hand across the table and gripped my wrist, his steely blue eyes boring into mine: “I will not condone such rubbish. I am your King and you are my Omega. I have been trying to be nice and you have so far been acting like a child. I expect you to give me an heir and that is an order!” His vituperation vexed me and I could not contain his sadistic behavior.

The royal siblings entered one by one wearing their gears and when Kraven showed up, my hand quickly moved so I could sketch what he looked like. When a familiar yet unexpected participant showed up however, my hand paused for a second. Whispers of shock resonated in the arena at the unexpected appearance of Kohen, who never joined this game. I could tell that his siblings and the king and queen were equally shocked as well. What made him join now? “It's a good day to start our game and what a surprise that Prince Kohen would be joining us today. Your highnesses, there will be a total of five rounds in this game. The one who will win the most wins the annual royal game!”

He raised his brass staff, pointing it toward the sky. "The three top Alpha Kings of each academy will now descend to the arena floor!" Vance roared. "They will act as the sovereign predators. Your objective is simple: survive the hunt in the middle. For every minute you remain standing against a King, your score doubles. If you manage to touch their armor with your steel, you claim top spot, But be warned, the Kings will not hold back. Their beasts are hungry, and the High Council authorizes the extraction of blood!" The crowd went absolutely feral, the wooden benches shaking under the stamp of thousands of boots.

“You are the King’s flower.” Keanna let out a weak moan as she felt his hot lips on her skin. “In order to lay hands on said flower, I had no other choice but to be the King myself.” His eyes darkened at the marks he made on her pale skin and smiled. “So be obedient.” Neil finally had his flower. But if the flower hates him and leaves, he saw he’d have no choice but to cut the branches around the flower. Even if the flower dies in the process.
