The Fated Queen 7: Jayce
Jayce sat back in his chair as he surveyed the group closely. The ice clinked in his whiskey glass as he brought it to his lips. Dante sat poised, with one leg crossed over the other. He was a defined gentleman to the letter with his black slacks and dark red button up. His dark hair had grown a little since the last time he saw him. The golden eyes shimmered as he took a sip from his own whiskey glass. Though, being a Vampire, he most likely wanted something else to drink instead. He didn't know the man well enough, but he was respectable and well versed in the world's knowledge. Amongst the group all together, he was the most trustworthy. He shifted his gaze to Aiden next, who filled his whiskey glass to the brim and practically downed it. There wasn't anything good to say about the Wolf. He's a Rogue. A defiant Alpha. On top of all of that, blood related them to one another. They couldn't be anymore different, though. The man sat with dirty jeans and work boots with a black fitte
The Fated Queen 8: Lily
"And then he..." The door opened abruptly, and stalled Lily from finishing her story. Jayce towered in the doorway. She bit her lip as he glanced around the room until his eyes settled on the broken lamp on the floor. "Jayce!" She smiled brightly as she rushed over to him and grabbed his hand. "We were telling stories, and I had to share a bunch with them about you." She pulled him into the room to show him off and noticed Dante, Zalakai, Aiden and Damion followed him. "Lily." He stopped her and sniffed her hair. "Have you been drinking?" He asked her. "Yeah, but it was only..." She stopped and counted on her fingers. "This many!" She held up one finger on each hand. Jayce looked over at Erica, who held up six fingers instead. "Can you say my name again? It gives me butterflies." She giggled. "She's very giddy and childish when she's drunk?" Damion asked as he slipped past everyone and joined Erica at her side. "Oh, it gets better." She nudged him gently. "This is just a portion
The Fated Queen 9: Jayce
Jayce! Wake up! A crash startled him awake. He bolted upright, his hand landed in the space Lily had been sleeping in. A light blinded his vision from the open doorway into the lounging area. With that light, he heard gusts of wind as if a tornado had been set off in the other room. It's Lily! I can't reach her! Nox panicked. He had never heard his Wolf speak with such fear in his voice. Jayce rolled out of bed and got to the door when he met a strange scene. There was a heavenly light centered in the middle of the room. Within that light, black text spiraled around like a whirlwind vortex in the air. Below it all, with the book open in her hands, was Lily. "Lily!" He shouted to her, but she didn't respond. The wind grew stronger, but he refused to standby. He forced himself into the wind. His claws extended as he dropped to his knees and stabbed his claws into the floor to keep him steady. Jayce looked around for anything to knock the book out of her hands when the door to the
The Fated Queen 10: Karmina
Soft groans echoed around the room. Bodies draped over one another. Skeletal deformities. Whimpers and last gasps before death took hold. Black mist blanketed the ground. Tendrils snaked over and under the corpses at her feet. Tangled in the cold stench of death. Another last breath. Life faded from a young Dark Witch's eyes. Dark energy pulsed from within her body, circulated from her and into Karmina. Slowly, she drank the life essence from the young Witch. Just as she did with the others. In the dim light of a flickering candle, color returned to her sickly pale skin. Her fingers that held this Witch's throat swelled up with blood. She let the body fall amongst the others. Death came swiftly to her, unlike the many that still groan and whimper for mercy. Such devote followers. Such weak creatures. If not for their devotion, however, she would still be locked away in that damned forsaken prison. Guarded by Asmodeus' guard dog of a son, Zalakai. Yes. She knew who he was. How could
The Fated Queen 11: Lily
The bright white light faded away, and the warmth of the sun seeped into her skin. The crash of waves against the cliff side raised alarms. Lily turned left and right. She spun a full three sixty. This wasn't the suite she remembered being in. Her bare feet rested on cool cracked marble stone tiles. Pillars raised up along the edge of the open concept of a temple. A few pillars near the center of the structure lay collapsed and broken, with the ceiling above having caved in. Sea salt was clear in the air. Soft warning growls drew her attention to several large Wolves further into the temple. At first, the furs on the necks raised up to appear larger and threatening, but after a moment they sniffed the air and their demeanor suddenly changed. Lily took a step back as the Wolves approached her. Tails swayed and their ears slightly back. "They mean no harm." A woman's airy voice spoke up. Lily glanced over to find a slender, tall woman step up onto the landing from behind the temple.
The Fated Queen 12: Myra
A trembling motion stirred the young Wolf pup awake. She sat up quickly, still half asleep. Another rumble. An earthquake? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness quickly. Everything remained as they were. Pictures hung on the walls. Figurines stationary on shelves. Yet the tremor occurred a third time. Inside her head. It was minor the first two times, which had confused her that an earthquake was taking place. "Dad?" Myra called out nervously. She rolled herself out of bed and made her way to her bedroom door. "Dad!" "Myra." Her father's grovel voice reached her from down the hall. She peered down to his bedroom door, where she found Jayce leaned up against his doorframe for support. "Dad?" Alarms went off in her head. She sensed that something was off with him. Especially with her mother in the hospital again. They did not give her many details about the situation, but it wasn't rocket science. Her mother was changing. She has always sensed that since her brothers were born. Lily wa
The Fated Queen 13: Lily
"Nox isn't a monster, though." Lily protested. "He's gentle and loving." "He is now that he has you." Leto retorted. The Goddess smiled warmly. "You tamed the beast while no other could." She cast her eyes out over the seamless waters. "The King carried a hungry that he just could not satisfy." "So, you created his Queen." Lily said. "Why did you wait so long to help him?" "He is still my child." Leto said. "I could not keep a muzzle on him." She sighed. "Though, the wars waged and the blood that was shed. I could have stopped it all, but deities are restricted from intervening with mortal and Supernatural affairs." "Until now." Lily leaned forward slightly to gaze at Leto's face. "Can I get an answer about who I truly am, then?" The one question she wasn't entirely prepared to hear answered, however. Leto side glanced at her before she peered down at the brown Wolf beside Lily. "Would it be rude of me to answer your question with another question?" "I'm afraid I won't have muc
The Fated Queen 14: Myra
It had been a week since Lily collapsed into a coma. The media hadn't caught wind of it yet, thankfully, so her father could be with her in peace. Although, some questions raised during that time about where she was. Her mother missed several meetings and was questioned about her lack of attendance. Her grandmother was able to put a stop to that before it could get out of hand next. Grandpa Derrick and her Uncle Elias have been keeping her and her brothers' company while her father visited her mother frequently. She didn't quite understand the Mate Bond yet, aside from the sacred link behind it. As desperate as she wanted to see her mother, she knew she needed to stick close to Zyrus and Sylar. To protect them. Just as her father asked her to do. "Myra, darling?" Penelope spoke up from beyond her door. "Come down for breakfast, dear. Your father cooked your favorite." The sound of Penelope's heels clicked against the tile as they faded from the door. Myra zipped up her backpack afte
