Once A Nobody, Now A Queen Novels & Stories

I tried to walk past but they blocked my way. "Great! a dumb too" "Gardenia stop it" a male voice boomed. "Why should I. If a common half-breed has the opportunity to rule us, I think I have a chance too" so that was her problem. She wanted to be Thane's mate. "The king needs a strong queen not a weakling. An asset. The people need a strong queen not a puny half-breed who can't even stand up for herself" some murmurs of approval was heard. For the first time in my life, I felt extreme hate for another person. Intense anger burned through me. I clenched my fists tightly and met her eyes.

Lady Lora bowed her head in front of Queen Mother and replied, "I am sorry, your highness, but I heard a rumor about the new Queen." Queen Mother Meghan smiled mockingly and said, "Beautiful like a goddess? She is just a mere princess from a small country. Who knows who will be the queen in the future. I may remove her from being the queen and appoint a new queen. No one knows what the future holds, Lora." Lady Lora shivered upon hearing Queen Mother Meghan's words. At that very moment, they suddenly heard a commotion in the palace. Out of curiosity, both of them walked to the source of the noise. They found an old lady begging and crying while the palace guards were trying to push her out o

I probably looked nothing like the queen of queens with my bed hair still a mess and my rumpled dress. But I had to give it a shot, already my legs were tingling from running and I knew I needed my wheelchair soon. “Well, what are you waiting for? Announce us and open the doors,” Alisa snapped at them. They stopped gawking and bowed in apology. “Announcing Princess Alisa and The High Luna, Queen of Queens, Princess Daciana,” Here goes nothing, I thought to myself as I stepped into the room to save the woman who had tried to kill me.

“No, Luna, I would never. Who am I to try to steal the Luna’s place? I’m a nobody.” Her lips curved into a cold smile. “I like that you’re very self-aware.” She took a slow step closer. “Yes. You are a nobody. And you will forever be a nobody.” She began circling me like a predator. The atmosphere was so thick I could barely breathe. “But even nobodies,” she whispered, stopping just behind me, “can become a problem if they’re not kept in their place. After all, you’re not the first to try.”

Not that Bianca would ever admit to feeling territorial. She walked into the company with her head held high. ‘The queen is back and everyone should remember that’ was the mentality Bianca had arrived with. Except nobody seemed interested in remembering anything. The atmosphere in the company had become quieter, as if someone turned down the volume on the entire building. The people who would coddle her weren’t doing that anymore, and the ones who used to show their intolerance for her didn’t seem to even care about that anymore. The schadenfreude from her mockers was nowhere to be seen, that’s how bad it got. All of this was highly disorienting for Bianca. But at least Wren was gone now. A

, Alex said sounding so worried. I went to my coffee machine and poured a desirable amount, taking my time. Added some milk and some whipped cream. "So what do you think I am?", I asked. "When we did some questioning and investigations we found out that you're not just a normal regular lady Blu, they told us you're the Queen of Mafia", Alex finished up I shrugged, "Well then maybe that's who I am ". They all looked so confused. "H.. how?", Jerry asked. "I mean you've been in America being a career woman , how?", Tobi asked.

"Zoe, our daughter will be the most noble Principessa in all of Sicily." He had kept his word. He even personally inspected the length of the fibers in the nursery carpet. Every fragment of that former tenderness had now turned into blades, slicing me apart piece by piece. I once believed I was his one true love. In reality, I was nothing more than a shadow filling Serena's absence. Now Serena wore the season's latest couture, standing under spotlights with his arm hooked through hers, appearing side by side at every public event. Meanwhile, I had just given birth and was discarded like trash in this dark corner, burdened with the accusation of abusing my own child.

“Yeah. I… I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’ve always worked at smaller firms, but I thought I should try for something bigger. Just to see if I could do it, you know?” I nodded. “That’s brave. It takes courage to try.” She looked down and chuckled softly. “Thanks. I needed that.” The others were still chatting behind us, now debating how they’d spend their first paycheck. I didn’t say another word, just sat back and took it all in. Let them talk. Let them underestimate. None of them had the faintest clue that the woman they were mocking was already the queen behind this glass kingdom. And today, she was watching.

Ryan’s gaze flickers with uncertainty, but he finally reveals, “There are rumors that Lusaka has taken a new queen." The rogue King has taken a new queen? Now, that catches my attention, my interest piqued. “A rogue queen?” I repeat, skepticism lacing my tone. “Yes. It’s been spreading through the underground networks for weeks now,” he tilts his neck and then explains further. "No one knows much about her, but from what I’ve heard… she’s a mere omega."

“Shall we bow to the tenth Queen of the Ashford Clan?” They all bowed—even Talon’s mother—and my heart tumbled in my chest. Maybe it was from excitement, or maybe from the sudden realization that I was about to receive the bows of the greatest men and women in this kingdom. The weight of what I was stepping into hit me: I was no longer a nobody. I was no longer Thalina Noir. I was now Thalina Ashford, Queen of the entire kingdom. “May you live long, Your Highness,” they said in unison, and I stood there, completely starstruck.
