Red Queen Once Upon A Time Novels & Stories

I headed for the edge of the forest, where the sulfur smell of the green smoke still lingered. "I know you're still here," I said to the shadows. "Come out." The wind swirled, and the hawk with the glowing green eyes descended from a gnarled oak tree. It shifted, its feathers melting into a tattered green robe. A woman stood there—or at least, something that looked like a woman. Her skin was the color of moss, and her eyes were empty emerald pits. "The Queen mother returns," she hissed. "Has the King’s heart finally faltered?"

“Where did you find this? Where is my mate?” Erik raised a finger. “I’m getting there. First, you need to know what transpired before I found that.” He waited, his crimson eyes patient. “I was approached by the people you seek. They have her. Your throne is being challenged, Gavin. Multiple kingdoms have allied to usurp you.” My blood ran cold. They took her for my crown? The one I never wanted? The very one that, even now, was being forced upon me!? “The Faerie Queen herself paid me a visit,” Erik continued, his voice dropping. “And the Royal Alpha Shifter Zormel controlled the Tainted that aided her.”

"Lilibeth, stop making Hank angry. He normally treats you so well and buys you clothes and purses. Just take my place in the shark tank this once and treat this as paying him back. Besides, you scrub and mop the deck all day, so you must have some very steady footing. There's no way you'll slip." The trust-fund kids around us also joined in and started to make a scene. "Yeah, that's right! Why is a cleaner acting so proud?" "Get down there already. Don't ruin the show for all of us!" I looked at all the well-dressed fools around me as I scoffed. If this were a year ago, I would have tied up every one of them and hung them from the mast to let them taste the sea breeze. My name was Lilibeth B

Rue says, opening a door just a smidge and poking her head in. The moment she does, the doors burst open and we’re all pulled inside by magical force. I curse inside for not asking Oloron to check for traps before letting Rue touch anything, but done is done, and I can only do so much right now. My whole body locks, making it impossible to look away or move. Inside the room is the Queen, sitting on a throne looking chair, her eyes distant, her aura off. At her side is a young male dragon with a sinister smile, an older dragon with cold eyes and a smirk and Miriam of all fucking people. She laughs, looks over our group, frowns quickly and moves in front of the men.

“But that is not….” “Silence Aaron!” I grew, raising my hand into the air for emphasis. “If Romeo does not want me to rule the Kingdom, he would have done everything to keep the unknown Queen away from me. He has provided me the Queen and I am going to marry her in 3 days.” “That woman is not the unknown Queen. She does not have any power, and she does not look genuine.” “You are not making any sense Aaron.” “The legends said the unknown Queen is going to be your mate. And the only mate you have ever had is Aurelia. Remember how the moon goddess used to appear in your dreams and torment you whenever you offended Aurelia or let her out of your sight?”

🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷 "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness." .•●•. ⚘THE VENETIAN EMPIRE ⚘ "Bring her back!" Demetrius yelled at the top of his voice. "I can't!" Merlin snapped and stated, "she had to transform on her own, if she can fight it we'll have her back, if she can't then she's simply gone."

’ He replied, making me think about Aurora again. ‘I chose Jade, and you need to get over it, especially when we mark each other after becoming King and Queen.’ I ended the link before he could even reply. I was just walking around the garden ruins thinking about Aurora and how much I suppose I do miss her, was the rejection a mistake? Could I take it back or has it been too long? Jade is the right call to become queen. Why, was I now only thinking about this after all this time? I suddenly looked up at the woman who could make me King, she had said something to me, but I was in such a deep thought that I didn’t even hear what she said.

Which isn't exactly a bad thing except every time he is close to me they kick into overdrive. Some distance will be good. As long as he keeps his side of the bargain then I will to. Besides I am sure I can get Heth to cave on a few things if I just bat my eyes at him and beg pretty please. Rose reappeared giving me that motherly look and got back to work on breakfast. She topped off my coffee and I walked out onto the veranda.

Something is off the plans? As I focused my hearing skills, the reason for the feeling entered my ears. "The Queen isn't wearing white. She's wearing red." "Red is a symbol of danger and destruction." "Has the King lost his mind trying to marry such a woman?" "You never know maybe she has put a spell on him." "Black magic? The Queen of Eleneas has participated in black magic? That's treason!" "Hey! Be quiet. Unless you want the Tryant to slash your neck apart."

But when someone appeared in his line of sight, he stopped moving. "Well, hello there, little guy . . . What are you doing there under the rain?" Eric watched as Evangeline bent down and grabbed Snow into her embrace. He forgot to breathe as he watched the woman –– dubbed as a vicious, cruel, pompous Queen –– protectively embraced Snow in her arms. "Did you run away from home? I don't see a collar though . . . ," Evangeline murmured. She swept Snow with her lilac eyes and her pouty lips stretched wide in a smile.
