The Queen's Code Audiobook Novels & Stories

A vicious growl escaped me without my consent and the pages of the book flipped one by one quickly without anyone touching them. Dave and Emma stepped back and I watched them, though I didn't feel like I was there. Step back! ’He dares to speak with disrespect when speaking of the queen’ He didn't mean any disrespect, you heard him earlier, his mother has been telling him your story since he was a child. Everyone knows about the first queen and her wolf. Step down, Alana She snarled and puffed out air through her nose. Her eyes were still laser-focused on the book. The pages stopped flipping, my body relaxed and I felt Alana stepping back.

“I came here to look for a book about healing plants. I wanted something that could help me get better, My Queen.” The queen looked at me closely, her eyes growing sharp already. Fear rose inside me as I felt she might already know I was lying. She moved closer, stopping right in front of me. Her eyes remained on mine, deep and searching, as though she was trying to pull the truth from my thoughts. “Is that really so?” she asked. “Was this so important that you failed to come for breakfast with the other wives of his His Majesty?” My heart flinched with terror. I did not know anyone had noticed that I was not there, and I never thought the queen herself would specifically notice. “I am very

“Chryson, explain to me how Roz was able to gain access to Persephone’s chambers.” The butler stammered, his composure slipping. “M-my lord, I—I assure you, I had no idea she would—” “You had no idea?” Thanion interrupted, his tone icy. “I gave explicit orders to ensure her quarters were secure. I warned you of this exact situation.” Chryson swallowed hard, bowing his head in shame. “I… I failed you, my lord. I will investigate immediately and report back with my findings.” “See that you do,” Thanion said sharply. “And whoever is responsible for this oversight will answer to me directly.”

Ayra’s frown showed how confused she was, she glanced over at the five people standing only a few feet away from her, Freya and Alana lost in a conversation, Mordeu and Cillian avoiding each other’s eyes and Fjall’s eyes pinned on her. “What do you want to talk about?” Mordeu’s tone came out more rudely than intended. It could be his inherent dislike for Kai that propounded such volume and tone. However, Kai didn’t seem to mind, “well it’s very important.” Alana’s and Freya’s attention was grabbed by Mordeu’s question and as such, they moved closer even though there wasn’t a good distance between them before. “What is it?” Alana was impatient. “Her Majesty, the Queen is here.”

My blood turned to ice as the final symbol appeared. Because the words weren't meant for the kingdom. They weren't meant for Kael. They were meant for me. The Queen has awakened. Bring her to the Gate. End of Chapter 9

"Tell me, 'Voice of the King.' Do you remember the rose garden? Do you remember the girl who cried because she broke a string on her lute?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Abigail." The name hit the room like a cannon blast. I stopped breathing. The silk screen felt like a thin sheet of ice. "The Queen died in the fire," Kael said. His voice was low. Uncertain. "We all saw the body. It was charred. Unrecognizable." "We saw a body," Vance said. He stepped forward again. He didn't wait for permission. He reached out and ripped the silk screen down.

His gaze lifts. And locks onto mine. The room fades. Just for a moment. Then A voice rises above the noise. Smooth. Unfamiliar. And far too interested. “So,” the man says, stepping forward, his eyes fixed on me. “This is the new queen.” My breath catches. Because there is something in his gaze Something dark Something dangerous.

Hidden in his boot, though, a folded scrap of coded parchment survived him, tucked so carefully it had to have mattered more than his own life. Our cipher master worked through it within the hour, hunched over candlelight while the rest of us waited in tense silence. When he finally looked up, his face had gone the color of old parchment itself, hands trembling faintly around the page. One sentence, decoded. The Queen carries the future. Kill her before the Eclipse rises. My blood went cold standing there, the words refusing to make sense no matter how many times I read them. No one had announced anything. No one even suspected. I hadn’t suspected.

The guards immediately opened the door, and Maelis stated, "Her Majesty is waiting for an update. We are to let you in no matter what time. She said to call out to her, as she may have fallen asleep." "Thank you," I said and entered the sitting room. Sitting on the loveseat with a book in her lap, my Queen was fast asleep. I carefully removed the book from her delicate hands and placed it on the side table. "Your Majesty," I spoke softly. "I have returned." Queen Aurora's brilliant amethyst-coloured eyes opened, and I was greeted with an enchanting smile. "Ah, you have returned," she said. "Have you managed to apprehend all of them so far?"
