Red Queen Once Upon A Time Novels & Stories

"It wasn't your fault. She made you kill him." "Your first mate," he whispered, pain in his eyes. Ronan stiffened beside me. Another memory clicked into place Ronan hadn't been my first mate. He'd been my true mate. The other had been a fake, someone the Queen had forced upon me before I found Ronan. "The Queen twisted everything," I said. "She's been playing with all our lives, all our memories." The shield flickered as something powerful hit it. At the edge of the forest stood a woman with hair as red as mine, eyes sparkling with old power. The Midnight Queen didn't look like a grandmother. She looked like a goddess of war.

said Queen. Rook Theia was shocked listening to Queen Clementine's words and started to get angry. She looked at everyone's faces with mixed expressions of anger and crying. Her eyes saw Pawn Clara in the crowd of vampires who were wearing royal dress. She watched but remained a part of the crowd. She didn't step forward to support her Rook.

My pride bled out with each hit. A hush swept over the gathered crowd. And then a new voice spoke. “That’s enough.” I looked up through blurred eyes. A tall woman strode forward, robed in dark green velvet, her silver jewelry glinting in the sunlight. Her gaze was sharp, calculating, deadly. She carried herself like royalty. She was the queen. She stopped in front of me, hands clasped behind her. Her mouth curled faintly. “River,” she said, her voice deceptively smooth. “You’ve truly gone mad this time, haven’t you?”

It was *her*. “Her?” My stomach twisted. “The Crimson Queen,” Kael murmured. I stared at both of them. “Who the hell is that?” Riven exhaled sharply. “An ancient ruler. A being of pure destruction. She was sealed away centuries ago because she nearly tore the world apart.” “And you think she’s inside me?” My voice cracked. “No,” Kael said. “She’s *awakening* through you.” I took a step back. “That’s insane.”

I shook my head. "Just the dread that I might one day succeed in killing my mother," I joked and looked over my shoulder at the woman. There was a frown on her face as her eyes dug into my own. "Come on! It is a little bit funny! The killer Queen's daughter kills her own mother, very poetic." I joked again and Miranda tsked in response. This wasn't a laughing matter to her, nor should it be to me, either. "When you need something, just let me know. I will try and brew another sleeping potion for you. Your mom says you have trouble sleeping as of late."

"The last Queen is Lyra. And Isabella just sent an assassin who doesn't use a blade." From the sky above the South Wing, a single, white-feathered raven descended, carrying a small, silver silk ribbon. The same ribbon Silas had found in the forest three years ago. It was soaked in fresh, violet blood. But it wasn't Lyra’s. "MAMA!" Kaelen’s scream tore through the night. Silas ran toward the wing, but a wall of solid, black glass erupted from the ground, sealing the Shadow Queen and her son inside a cage that even the Alpha couldn't break.

I know you want to personally take her down," Iris exclaimed through the mind link. Suddenly, I heard Ingrid's voice echoed all over the air. Soon, the winds changed its course and the thunder boomed up into the sky. Her powerful chants literally changed the weather, causing the rain to fall. She wanted to control the fire in the woods as soon as possible as it would expose us to the human, I believe. It truly served its purpose as it would also cut those explosive effectiveness. I advanced forward, my friends preventing the other hybrids from attacking me. My mind was only filled with avenging Jace, Dimitri and Vance. Glaring at the white maiden through my amethyst orbs, I beheld her sight

The moment I turned my head to glance at the figure behind me, he pinned me against the wall and glared deep into my eyes. "Let me go!! What the hell are you doing?" I hissed at Tony as he clasped my hand roughly and pinning me against the wall. "Why? Didn't this tempt you? A fiery one with blazing red hair, I knew something had been wrong with her. You call death around you because you are a witch. Do you know what I learned today when I went to a ghost town? Stay away from a woman who has blood red hair." He was whispering harshly in my ear.

He looked between us, his eyes lingering on Sophia's face. "What happened?" he asked, his voice oddly distant. "Your mate attacked poor Sophia," my father growled. Alexander looked at me with disappointment in his eyes. "Alexa, how could you?" So that's how it was going to be. My own mate taking their side. As soon as they left, I sealed my bedroom with magic stones and activated the security lock. A $10,000 security feature. Money well spent. I stripped off all the bedding that carried her scent and threw it in the trash. Then I used herbs that block scents before going to sleep.
