Queen Velverosa Novels & Stories

I didn't respond. "Perfect family, Perfect job. Perfect ways to get away with anything" I look her dead in her eyes and she glanced at me once before looking down and giving me beads and flowers to start the crowns.

"They'll send four hundred men and a bomb big enough to level this mountain. Tokyo will do the same. Every syndicate on the planet will burn Vespera flat before they let the Sovereign bloodline come back." Varek stared at his own reflection in the dark glass. The rain running down over it. "Kill the cameras in the east wing," he said. "Wipe everything from tonight off the servers. Her intake. All of it." A pause behind him. "Varek." Tor's voice went low and careful. The voice he used when he was about to say something he knew wouldn't land well. "We put her in a car tonight. Hand her to the London board. The debt goes away. We get the east coast ports. No one ever has to know what she is."

She explained that Selena had been brewing the disease in her lair for years and had finally unleashed it on the kingdom as an act of revenge. Alpha Caleb was shocked to hear this news, but he knew that they couldn't just sit back and wait for the disease to spread any further. Lady Victoria suggested that they needed a rare aloe vera plant that grew only in the Medusa River to create a spell to counter the disease. She volunteered to accompany Alpha Caleb on the dangerous journey to retrieve the plant.

"What else could happen that wouldn't hurt us both?" Robert cleared his throat, taking a step forward as he crossed his arms. "Verbena is a plant that hunters and other beings use to weaken wolves. It isn't dangerous to humans until a certain point, but just one drop for us could harm us. If someone was to use that on Archie, you wouldn't be affected" I think for a second because I've heard that name before. Jenny chuckles, squeezing my hand. "The other name for it is vervain."

This place was near a lava lake, so some plants will grow that thrive in high-temperature environments. They found quite a few useful plants, some even some thought to have gone extinct in Semeria. They wanted to find seedlings and seeds of these plants, to plant them back in their HQ and have an endless supply. Their most amazing discovery was a red velvet plant. This was a flower that could make a tea that would help compress mana inside the energy sea, strengthening it.

Now that everyone was in pairs, they scattered off to do their assignment. Maria and Luna did the same, searching for the right plant to do their research paper on. Maria inspected the area and caught sight of a large three-foot tall plant. Suddenly reaching out to clasp her hand with the princess, Maria pointed to the plant and asked, "What type of plant is that?" "Its name is Ceratiola; not only can one cook with it but it can also be used for potions that fight away the effects of blindness," explained Princess Luna, amazing Maria with her knowledge. When Maria pointed to the second plant, the princess wasted no time launching into another explanation.

My plant. As Edin sat beside her pressing a cool cloth to Fawna’s forehead, inwardly I cursed myself for keeping my eyes focused only on Adara and not being more vigilant over her sister when we were in my garden. Women are always attracted to beautiful flowers, and perhaps nothing growing on Vukasin Island was more beautiful than aconite: wolf’s bane, the Queen of Poison. Perhaps because of the nature of Vukasin—perhaps for another reason, I don’t know—the aconite that grows here was not only the most deadly species of that plant in the entire world, it is also the most beautiful.

"Rosette, you are who you are and who you want to be. Don't let anyone aside from you tell you who you are and make you doubt yourself. Be strong in your perception about yourself, Rosette. Always." I swallowed, tears clogging my throat. Was it possible to love him anymore than I already did? "I love you, Felix." "I love you too, Rosie. Now is that idiot by any chance a curly haired blond?" My mouth dropped open, how on earth did he know? "How...?" "Seems like he's the one. It's Jason Clove, he was an absolute jerk when he was still here, was your senior,and he liked you. Had a crush on you and...

I took a deep breath and continued, “But I do have one favor to ask. Can I please have some wolfsbane?” She looked back up, meeting my eyes, studying me, and cocking her head to the side. While she was human, Hugo told me that she knew about our kind. He and my mom were not the only werewolves she employed. “What do you need wolfsbane for?” “It’s personal.” I wasn’t telling her shit. “What form do you want it in?” “What forms does it come in?” “The two most common are dehydrated and a concentrated liquid—usually we sell the liquid form in darts.”
