The Queen Kiera Cass Novels & Stories

Standing in my flip-flops wearing a big shirt with male boxers, my hair a messy ponytail and my body bruised and healing, I really felt loved and worthy when I look around seeing almost a hundred men kneeling at my feet. I'm not just anybody. I'm Arianna Romano, goddess of death. The huntress. The Queen.

She looks at me, "You used to visit sometimes, don't you remember?" I shake my head, "If I did, I wouldn't be asking questions." "I was the Queen's maid and Henry's nanny." My jaw drops and that's when the memories come flooding back, the gifts, the trips to the castle and the little brunette boy, which used to chase me around the castle and play hide and look with, it's Henry. "You remember now?" I nod, "Yes." Henry walks into the living room and tells Nana that the car is waiting outside, she kisses his cheek goodbye and gives Henry a hug and leaves. The sudden realization that I'm left with the king hits me, and I am nervous like sweaty palms nervous.

"Khai and I haven't even done that." I shook my head. "Oh yeah, you guys and duct tape." She sighed, still pressing the undies on me. "And I don't need this skimpy stuff,” I said, letting it fall to the floor. "Do you think it’s nice to find a full-on brief when you undress your lady? Jacob told me that lingerie turns him on," Yolanda said with a wink and picked it up. "Well, my mate isn't Jacob, it's Khai." I admitted it for the first time, verbally.

The next day… “Beep beep…beep beep” Keira’s alarm sounded off, and she stood up excited to see the news. She turned on the Smart TV in her room while she was brushing her teeth. She was not wrong at the gossip segment that morning she was on the headline of the local news. “Conglomerate heiress caught kissing an unknown guy.” Keira was furious why did they blur out Clarke’s face? She was expecting a cute photo of their date, instead; she got this. She went to her Nana’s villa to ask about the news.

Liliana added, “By the way, your mother’s name is - Keira Brown-Preston. ” Liam continued, “I used to call her sister Kia back then. Well, Aunty Keira was only twenty-five back then. She was my senior and used to tease me a lot. She was a kind and sunny person - so I don’t know where you inherited that resting bitch face from.” Jacob coughed, and Liam went to the point. “She went as a spy, and it took her almost six months - only god knows how rigorous hard work she went through - before she got in the position to find anything about them.”

Natasha started right before someone tugged at her arm from behind. "Xander!" "If it isn't the queen of chugging herself!" "You better come up with a better nickname than that because 'queen' is already taken." "Where have you been? I haven't seen you since the...the fight..." "Relax, I was just taking some time to cool off." Xander leaned in and kissed her. "Ugh, get a room already you two!" Cassie snapped. The Queen B had fallen from her 'royal' ranks and would have gone on to fall on the literary sense had somebody not been there to catch her just in time.

Sensing the worry written on my face and in my voice, she asked, “Clarissa? What is it?” I swallowed hard, my words feeling rough in my throat. “I heard something about Crescent Moon. Mostly about Derek.” Her breath caught in her throat. “You heard?” “Yes,” I said, gripping the doorframe tightly. “His second Luna… she’s dead.” A heavy silence filled the space, so thick it felt suffocating. Tessy didn’t respond immediately. I could hear her shifting her weight, the fabric of her gown brushing against her skin.

I said. “That’s pretty,” Kiera mused and burrowed against me as she looked into the bassinet. “Will she be Queen one day?” Kiera asked. My lips rounded and my heart broke, we hadn’t had that talk with her yet, thinking she was too young but I thought it was obvious. I looked at Hazel and she fought to sit up in the bed and leaned against the mountain of pillows that Nora stuffed behind her. “No, my love,” Hazel said. “You are the future Queen of Valeria, nobody else,”

she announced, and all attention averted at Emma. She immediately stood up from her seat as we clapped our hands at her. She walked in front, climbing up the stage as Haley Carson put her sash on along with the crown, giving her the queen wand. She was smiling from ear-to-ear as claps resounded in the entire gym. Standing on the side once the photographer was done taking her photos, she moved to the side as Lindsey announced the homecoming king. “And now for the homecoming king,” she read the envelope again before continuing, “Caleb Heory.”

And as I did in the Aqua kingdom, I approached them and helped them get down. Then the Dragon kingdom. I looked at Cassie. She just looks straight ahead. She does not know. She doesn't know that she belongs here. I shaked my head to get away from distraction. I approached and helped them down. When their queen, Queen Hydra, came down, her eyes immediately landed on Cassie. She just stared at her and didn't say a word. Next is the Zephyr Kingdom. Liam supports them. Julia took my hand. I immediately looked at him.
