After spending a little bit of time reflecting on my current predicament, I get up and walk across the room to the aforementioned closet and as I open the door I become still as a statue. When he said he had the closet fully stocked I thought he meant a hotel-sized closet with a few essentials, I didn’t think he bought an entire mall. I cautiously step in, afraid somehow the gargantuan closet will swallow me whole, and slowly wander around the room. I’ve lived in apartments smaller than this. The room is all white on white with bright white lights, a large counter with draws in the centre of the room flanked by ottomans. An incredibly exquisite pearl chandelier hanging from the ceiling with hangers and draws and racks around the room filled with clothes, they even still have the tags on them. One side of the room is just a giant mirror that reflects the entire closet making it look twice as big. I can see the clothes I was wearing earlier hanging in another section of the closet appe
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 10: Tension - Lemuel
“CIRCE! Get the fuck away from him,” he says menacingly, moving between her and me. I’m not sure what’s going on, but the sound of his voice is sending delightful chills down my spine, and I’d rather it didn’t. “So he’s the one you’re claiming is your animai,” she says, glancing at me with disgust. “You have no business in the Royal Suite, and I don’t ever want to see you up here again, now get the fuck out,” he spits harshly. I see he hates this woman’s guts, which I won’t ever admit out loud is actually very comforting to know. “It’ll break your parent’s hearts when they learn of how you’re treating me,” she says sadly. “Cry me a fucking river, now get out,” he says through clenched teeth, “Cole!” he shouts. In an instant, a figure covered head to toe in exquisite armour enters the room, “You called for me, Your Highness,” he greets. “See to it that Circe is escorted away from the suite, and I don’t want to see her back here, near me or my animai, is that clear?” he orders. “
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 11: Peace Offering - Lemuel
I’m pulled from the most peaceful night's sleep I’ve had in centuries as a stream of bright light hits my eyes. I instinctively turn away in an attempt to hide from it, but it would seem the light isn’t the only intrusion to my sleep. “Good morning!” cheers a familiar voice. How can a voice be both comforting and grating at the same time? “Hése mas,” I grumble into my pillow. “You speak Greek?!” he shrieks as I hear something being placed down on the nightstand, forcing me to give up on sleep and sit up. As my eyes adjust I now realise Sebastian is standing by the bed in nothing but grey track pants that are hanging dangerously low on his hips. I swallow down the lump in my throat as my eyes trace over the dusting of hair circling his nipples and going across his chest, as well as the hairs trailing down between his eight-pack, over his belly button and down past the waistband of his track pants. I can make out a very impressive bulge through his pants that has my mouth going comp
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 12: Eisa - Lemuel
I continue to eat this delicious food and take a sip of my coffee when it is placed in front of me. I’m swallowing down another sip of coffee when I hear someone enter the room and everyone gives their attention to them. “Good morning everyone,” says a friendly voice. “Good morning Eisa,” they all sing in unison. I glance up as this Eisa person pulls up a stool next to me and I can finally take a look at her. Intense emerald-green eyes are staring at me, but they feel warm and friendly as opposed to threatening, unlike that woman yesterday. Her strawberry-blonde curls are tied up in a high ponytail and her peachy skin is practically glowing. Her slender frame is wearing a royal blue pencil skirt while her toned legs are accentuated by white satin pumps with diamond brooches on the toes. She’s pulled the look together with a long-sleeved white satin blouse that billows at the front. She radiates elegance and sophistication. “Eisa Nomikos,” she introduces herself, extending her hand

I sign another document and move it to the out tray on my desk, then lean back and stretch out my arms hearing a pop in my shoulder that feels fantastic. Technically Eisa should be handling my paperwork since she lost our deal, but there are some papers I want to go over personally, specifically the documents regarding the upgrades to Atlesper Academy. Atlesper Academy is the school that resides in our kingdom for those parents or students who don’t feel comfortable going to school among humans. We offer plenty of courses and encourage the students to explore all the knowledge they can. The science department hadn’t had an upgrade in the last ten years, which was really slack on my part. Science is expanding every day, and by not upgrading the department at the school we were depriving the students of a better education. I personally have been seeing to the upgrades, and I’m going to head down to the school today to see how they’re looking now that everything is complete. I just hav
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 14: Atlesper Academy - Sebastian
I put on my jacket, fix my collar, and feel my eyes heat up, glowing as I draw on the energy inside me now awakening from its slumber. I feel weightless as my body reaches out for the nearest body of water, and as soon as the energy detects the water in the large fish tank along the wall in my office, my body takes the form of water, travels through the air and dives into the water. While High-Born sirna possess water magic, not all of them are capable of water teleportation. It’s rather tricky to master. Through this ability, we can not only become water itself but travel through any body of water on the planet, provided we know where it is. If you don’t know where you’re going it can become a disaster and a huge pain in the ass, so it’s really not something to do on a whim. Think of water like a gateway to another world. Each source of water, even a small puddle from afternoon rain can act as a door to any surface of water that exists. It’s such a fast way to travel, and good for t
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 15: Protective Prince - Sebastian
I decide to take my time and peer into a class or two, and it really does bring back memories. Can’t tell you how many times Eisa saved my fin in this place, but that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I make my way to the courtyard at the back of the building as that exit is closer, and casually saunter down the stone steps taking in the beautiful scenery. Past the beautiful ponds and timeless statues, are the gardens, but past that is the recreation area and past that is the athletic grounds. It has everything, basic fitness training areas, a track and then designated areas for our competitive sports. Archery, discus throwing, javelin, shot pot… okay so we stuck with a lot of the Greek classics. I was always more partial to the javelin. What can I say, I guess I just love having a large pole in my hand. “Stop it! Give that back!” I hear an agitated voice shout. I look over to see a group of three 16-year-old-looking boys playing keep away with another boy's sketchbook.
A Queen Among Tides Chapter 16: An Invitation - Sebastian
Stepping into my bedroom I take off my jacket and toss it on a chair. I give myself a nice big stretch after a very productive day and give myself a nice pat on the back for a job well done. As I do that I can’t help but wonder what Lemuel has been up to all day. I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t thought about him since this morning, but in my defence, I really wanted to focus on my responsibilities, and I knew thinking about him would only depress me. Now that I’ve welcomed him back into my thoughts I’m in a mood again. What the hell did that even mean? That it’s not that he doesn’t want me, he just doesn’t want an animai. I am his animai, so not wanting one means not wanting me. Want kind of ass backwards thought process is that? I want to get to know him and have him get to know me, but how am I meant to do that when he keeps me at arms-length all the time? With a heavy sigh, I step into my closet and take off my shirt and go to lay out my clothes for tonight. Since Eisa and I di
