Queen Of Rot And Pain Novels & Stories

His claws are out, slashing at a vine that creeps toward Juniper’s boot. The moment his claws cut the plant, a spray of black, acidic sap hits the floor. It hisses against the stone, eating away at the rock. Alaric winces, the skin on his hand reddening where the mist touched him. "Don't touch it!" Juniper screams. "It’s caustic! It’s like a defensive chemical reaction." "It’s a monster, Juniper!" Torin yells, grabbing a heavy iron shovel from the wall. "It’s the Rot. You can't talk to this thing!"

He didn’t say anything. I continued. “I was warned these false crimson would bring so much darkness and pain to Lunaria. I was warned how dangerous they could be with the crimson power but I stayed nonchalant anyway. I thought everything would fix itself. I thought that being the Queen of Alphas, I would be capable. But what have I achieved since my coronation? Absolutely nothing. I was the cause of every pain in the pack. My incompetence has caused your pain, my incompetence has caused the death of your—“

"The Queen is playing nice. That’s usually when people start losing their heads." "Seraphina doesn't play. She calculates," Sofia muttered. She felt the Heartstone in her chest tighten, its sapphire pulse rhythmic and cold. "She knows the Gray Rot is eating us from the inside. She knows our supply lines are frayed. Why bother with a treaty when she can just wait for us to turn to dust?"

“You’ve saved the Rogue Queen twice. Gave up going back to your family on his word that they would not be harmed if you stayed. I can’t do what you’ve done but I can do this.” My eyes glassed over with tears, lacing my hand through her hair I pulled her face tightly into my chest. “I guess it’s my fault you’re so brave.” Exhaling deeply I looked up only to lock eyes with the King. Standing on a balcony, leaning against the wall smoking a cigar as he watched. Without breaking eye contact I jammed the needle deep in her neck and pressed the plunger down. Feeling her knees give way I quickly dislodged the needle and scooped her into my arms. I buried my face in her neck to hide the hot tears ru

Then that cold turned to a piercing pain as if every knives in the world were stabbing me from the inside. I screamed in pain, the death was nearby and watching me holding into the rail of life. However, warmth took over eventually but it still hurt me from within like a sun burning my flesh into a fire. I sobbed out the rest of my aching voice as the witch held me tighter. My body had already fallen onto the ground, my ears ringing with her ancient words penetrating an immeasurable agony further into my being. They were skinning me alive, burning me from the inside out.

Though their features were beautiful, there was an eerie quality to them, their movements unnaturally smooth and precise. Roz arrived last, her entrance marked by a faint crackle of energy. She had opted for clothes this time—a sleek, form-fitting dress that clung to her curves like a second skin. Her silver hair spilled down her back in waves, and her violet eyes sparkled with defiance as she met Thanion’s gaze. Thanion’s voice was low, each word laced with quiet fury. “Chryson, explain to me how Roz was able to gain access to Persephone’s chambers.”

“I haven’t seen anything or anyone kids, now you 7 need to leave because you aren’t allowed back here." “-The Masked Queen is a brand built by the Slim-Jim agency and from my sources, the image alone costs twenty million dollars, and with L.K being the representative it’s ten million dollars on the twenty million. That’s a lot of money to lose people!” Her loud exclamation can be heard through the speakers so I cover it in panic. “Hearing that you were able to get rights over your brand makes me curious how you did it, Slim-Jim isn’t an agency that would like to lose that much money without putting up a damn hard fight. The world is curious L.K, how the hell did you do it?”

Sometimes, being in Queen Scarlett’s presence was like walking into an industrial freezer. “You must talk him out of it at once.” She said, her voice full of anger. “Goodness. Does that boy want to send me to an early grave?” “I’m sorry, my queen.” “No. You must make him stop. Immediately. There is no need to rush into such rash actions.

Ryker will get himself killed if he keeps this going.”

The taste of blood hit him instantly, coppery and sharp. “Get off me! Get the—” His words were cut off as it yanked him again, the force knocking him onto the rough earth. Roots snagged at his boots, tearing through fabric, digging into skin. Panic overtook the drunken haze. He kicked, flailed, cursed, his hands sliding along fur, hair, and something wet. The thing was massive, heavier than any dog should be, with strength that made him feel like a child. Pain radiated through his leg, burning, spreading up into his hip, and his vision narrowed into white-hot focus: survive, get back, make it stop.
