I spot the Queen sitting on her throne with her Knights surrounding her, and I can't help but laugh. “You have something that is mine.” I hiss, scanning the beautiful room for my Zion. “NO…" Her voice quivers as her face pales. “I-it can't be.” She rises from her throne, slowly walking down the stairs of her podium, and she kneels before me. Her Knights drop their weapons, as they mirror their Queen's stance. She is a wise female, bending the knee to me. I can tell how much she values her pitiful life. My nostrils flare as my chest rises and falls vigorously, “where is my mate?” I hiss, stepping in front of her.

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

and she giggled again and spun around, clapping her hands. “That silly boy was too consumed with forcing you to submit to him.” She stopped and grinned at me. “Everyone knows that a Queen doesn’t submit, she consents. And she will only consent to the King that she trusts. She never gives her power away, she shares it.” My head was beginning to hurt with all of what she was saying. I wasn’t sure what I did or didn’t understand or what she was saying. “This proved that he was never worthy to rule as King by your side.” and she winked, “And thus I rejected his claim on us,” she stood looking proud of herself, and I couldn’t help but grin back. But then it dawned on me.

she says. My gaze wanders to the crown settled atop her head and I quickly realize she is Kaine's mate, the Witch Queen. I've heard stories about her but none of them ever said she was this beautiful. "Ash, do you vow to care for, honor, and love Prince Jaxon with everything you have until death and after?" she asks. I frown. And after? I ask Shawn. I do not know much about dragons, but I do know they mate for life. Once their mate dies, they cannot take another. It is extremely dishonorable, and dragons will have death before dishonor, he explains.

"But you say that this 'helper' is a woman. It's not that I don't believe you, Denise. But is there another woman in the kingdom much stronger than my daughter, Houston?" "If she's indeed the strongest, it won't necessarily mean she's the wisest and the most intelligent. Brawn over the mind is like using a fork for a soup." 'This foul fiend...' Did she just insult his daughter? He has a very high opinion of Houston Jane. Very high indeed. So much that he will consider fighting against the queen for the permanence of her daughter's life. 'The queen is the most powerful in the game of chess. But that doesn't mean that she's undefeatable.'

To the path I'd chosen and could no longer deviate from. Yet as Victoria outlined our next moves against Stefan's failing company, part of me wondered if Alexander's question deserved consideration. When the game ends and all pieces are captured, what then for the queen?

It had just shifted. And the Queen on the chessboard was finally moving.

“I have bled for this kingdom more times than I can count. The queen isn’t a doll to be kept on the shelf, shielded from the world. And if that is the case, then perhaps he should keep his mate, but also take a queen.” Oh fuck no! This bitch ... so that was what she was after now. She still wanted to be the queen, even if he had me as his mate. “Are you suggesting that my mate take you as his queen? Which would mean you expect to sleep with him? And have his children? Am I understanding this correctly?” I narrowed my eyes at this woman, ready to relieve her neck of the weight of her pathetic head. “I am not suggesting anything. Really. I know it is something the king can do. I’m just brainst

“Si.” “What about our children?” “Well, our first daughter is promised to Dmitri Orlov who is keeping my throne warm as we speak. Our sons will just have to learn how to play nicely and share. Per favore, Leo…. Don’t fight me on this.” “You do realise that the title Defiant Queen is so fitting for you?” His voice softens, followed by the look in his eyes. It’s almost like he is proud of me for following my heart. “So, does that mean the boy can stay with us?” Hope lines my voice.
