The Divorced Military Queen Awakens 소설 & 이야기

Dravon finally releases me, taking me to his seat. “Where were you rushing off to?” He asks, taking my hand. “You just woke up.” “I was heading to the war.” All heads swing to me. Micheal looks at me incredulously. “You just woke up, and you were already planning to fight war?” “In your night gown?” Mia adds. I can feel my cheeks getting heated with embarrassment. “I didn't see anybody when I woke up, I thought everyone was already on the battlefield.” Thorne gives me an amused glance. “And your first instinct was to join us? You're one fierce Queen.”

“No… I’m not…” “Yes,” Sera said, her voice firm. “You are not just a mate. You are not just a wolf. You are a queen reborn.” The pendant flared with light. And Aria’s world changed again.

I stood on the stairs, watching my Alpha mate Ethan and his lover Cassie making love in the living room. "Let's be quick. Selene usually wakes up after an hour of rest," Ethan's deep voice mingled with the soft rustling sounds. Cassie's voice carried a contemptuous laugh: "What does it matter if she wakes up? She's blind and can't see anything. Let's continue." Ethan's voice held hesitation: "Don't say that. Selene might hear you."

the MC announces, his voice rising with excitement, “please welcome to the stage the founder of Quinn Medical. None other than. Elara Quinn.” The room erupts. Applause sound through the hall like a drumroll, and everyone rises to their feet. My heart slams hard against my chest as I look up. Maya stands at the podium. Ryan is right beside her, his hand resting possessively on the small of her back. Something wild snaps inside me. My wolf surges forward on pure instinct, ready to tear his hand away from my mate. A low growl vibrates in my chest—but before I can move, Ava shoots me a sharp glare. A clear warning to behave.

Nala roughly pushed the girl into Noir's arms and he knocked her out. "Where are the others" Thane growled out. Althea answered. "When I got back from the infirmary, everywhere was quiet. The guards and the maids were all asleep. I decided to hide myself when I heard some noise in the kitchen. The beta female and the queen wanted something to eat. After they left, I saw her pour something on one side of the steak. When she tasted it, she didn't eat from the part that she poured something on. So I figured something was wrong. When she got back to the kitchen, she made a call and said she had done it and the queen will be dead soon"

And willing to step between me and Aria without hesitation. My grip tightened around the crystal. Aria had spent five years wrapped entirely in my world. My fortress. My territory. My shadow. She never wandered. She never had the chance to meet anyone, let alone a man who moved like that. So why him? Why now? “What about the wives?” I asked. “We spoke with their families,” my assistant answered carefully. “Their husbands… understood the situation.” Of course they did. I had ruled Lunaris for years. Quietly, cleanly, efficiently. I was its uncrowned king.

And now, he was gone. But in the midst of the chaos and the bloodshed, in the heart of her grief, a new, more profound reality was about to emerge. The queen, a strategist of chilling efficiency, a ruler of a new, peaceful empire, was about to become a sovereign, a ruler of a brutal, unforgiving world. The mother, a fierce protector, a lioness, was about to become a Queen, a leader, a force of nature. The love, a fire that had been extinguished by betrayal and grief, was now a full-blown inferno, a new, more terrifying reality. The queen had died. The sovereign had been born.

Jessi pushes me to the table where the king and queen are waiting and then turns me to face the room so I can speak. "Hello, everyone. I know you're surprised to see me awake so quickly, but here I am. Thanks to Queen Zoe's antidote, I was able to fight off the effects of the silver, but the love from my mate is what woke me up." I look up at Jessi, and she has tears in her eyes. I pull her around so she can sit on my lap, which she does without hesitation.

Ava folded her arms. “Don’t.” Grace nodded. “Not tonight.” Queen looked at the screen. At James’s name. At the man she’d spent years loving. Then she did something she hadn’t done in a very long time. She chose herself. She switched off the phone. The room fell silent. Ava blinked. Grace blinked. Queen blinked. Then all three women stared at the dark screen. Queen’s body was still burning up but she finally fell asleep. Queen woke up by morning. For a moment, she didn’t know where she was.
