The maids rushed forward, everyone was scrambling around as Griselda walked majestically into the throne room. Today was the day when she would be officially introduced as the Queen Of Lycans. She will be given that title as their leader and head. Except she planned to attain more. Make these people bow as she walked past them in fear. The smile that always took over her lips and the happy glint that always covered her face was back and for a second, what the people did to her the other day was not long making her boil. It was one of the things she was going to deal with. She will show them how she wants to rule them."Lady Griselda is here!" The Herald announced and everyone rose to their feet. The seven elders shared a look at how beautiful and different she looked. Zenith was yet to be in the throne room."Your Majesty." The Seven Elders bowed in greeting. For the first time, she caught a slip of something familiar from them but she could not point out what it was. She was helped in
“How dare he?!” She screamed out angrily, pushing everything off her desk. The glass shattered on the floor and the maids flinched except for Soli who just watched her with fixated gaze on her.Griselda’s eyes were wide open with her flared nose, oozing smoke literally. “He had me checked for some blight. How dare—”“Your Majesty,” Soli rushed forward and grabbed her hands, holding her back from pushing some things down. Selda froze, surprised that someone had dared to hold her.“You-” A slap followed after and Soli hit her bottom on the floor before scrambling up to kneel before her.“You need to calm down, Your Majesty.” She pleaded.Selda’s hands trembled so hard that her claws began to elongate. The maids immediately fell to the ground, shivering in fear.“Your Majesty, you need to relax. The Lycan King must not hear of your outburst.” Soli warned her again, not minding that she has just received a slap from her mistress.Slowly, her claws began to retract and she let out a deep br
"So there is no report as to how the fire started in the kitchen?!" Zenith snapped, clenching his fist in anger. The Seven Elders tipped their chin and let out a deep sigh one after the other.Zenith has been refusing to see them and now that he sent for them, none of them wanted to speak and it was beginning to make Zenith angry. He hated quietness when the explanation was needed.He cut them a glance and they had a blank expression over their faces. "So no one could trace the start of the fire?" He asked again.Mathias took a step back alongside Zariel who had his head bowed. They all looked amongst themselves in the court room and Mathias wanted to speak up but Zenith rose up to his feet."Your Highness," Elder Povah stepped out and bowed. "I don't think we should take this as an easy thing. I wonder who perpetuated this nonsense but I would want us to look into it. Was this a warning?"Zenith's eyes narrowed. "Warning concerning what?" He asked."The one time something like this ha
A scream broke out from the bathing ground and a maid rushed out, trembling and holding her chest as she breathed heavily. The rest of the maids who were busy laughing and splashing water on one another stopped and rushed to scene, glaring at her. "What is wrong?" One of them asked them, not even attempting to go into where she had ran out from."What is it?" Another yelled in question when the maid was still reeling from the shock."There..." She pointed to the place she ran out from. "There..." She looked scared and frightened. "What is there?" Cassandra asked, trying to be bold."Someone... her chest..." She stuttered and began to shake her head.Cassandra let out a deep breath and started for the place. She glanced into the place and her eyes went wide, a scream worked up her throat and she rushed away.The maids were starting to get frightened."What is happening?" The Head Maid bellowed in anger as she saw them naked and yet to be done. Nyx glanced over the Head Maid's shoulder
“A maid was killed?” Selda asked, shocked as Soli nodded in reply. “Yes, Your Majesty. No one knows the source of her death. Her body is being burnt.” She informed her further.Selda licked her lower lip as she reasoned it. A maid was killed in the palace not long after the kitchen was set on fire. She was yet to start playing her cards but it seemed someone had started already.“Who do you think did it? And why?” She asked, staring into space.Soli dropped her head. “I dare not think like that.” Her eyes moved in their sockets as she bit the inside of her cheeks.“Whoever is doing this is going to make a turn soon and I can't wait for it.” Her eyes glinted mischievously.“Your Majesty, it is high time you had your afternoon bath and nap.” The Head Maid told her as she stepped in. Griselda raised her gaze to her and she smiled as if she was expecting her and she came at the right time.“Come closer, Samara.” She ordered, making the Head Maid’s brows spasm for a second before she moved
“David, do you know the worst thing that you could ever do to your mate?” His mother asked as she picked an embroidery pin. David shook his head, reaching out for a new toy.“Tell me, mother!” Zenith said as he stood before her, his eyes twinkling in excitement and anticipation. He had always loved stories like this. Stories about mates and how lovely and sweet they are, he looked forward to every story of his mother.She smiled as she pulled his cheeks and patted his hair. “That is using your beast power on her.” She told him.Zenith’s brows furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean by that, Mother?”She let out a sigh and dropped the pin in her hand then she leaned closer to him, using her hand to touch somewhere on his chest. “You know, somewhere in here, there's that feral part of you.” She said and he nodded. He has been undergoing lessons with his elder brother, David, with his father to know how to keep it in check.“That part will demand for her submission and it could kill her
Selda could not stop staring at Zenith. He looked different. Way too different. Who had dressed him this time? She needed to know because her heart was starting to skip a beat at every move of his and it was dangerous. She needed to keep a strong stance so that she can get him to do what she wanted."What do you think about the meals?" He asked her, taking her by surprise.Her eyes widened as he lifted his gaze to meet hers. The Nuptial Dinner was a ceremony where the royal couple got to eat together and may have talks as concerning their future together since the day was always spent attending to issues in the court."They are nice, the Lycan Meals do have a different taste." She said, taking a spoon of soup into her mouth.After that, they ate in silence. Selda could not help but steal glances at Zenith who just took a bite out of the meals laid before him.She thought of what to say so she opted for the blight issue. “So how's the medical research on the blight?” She asked.He pause
Zenith walked into his chambers, his chest heaving with a different type of want and urge. A particular and strange heat. Was it the heat season? He shook his head as he pulled off the belt from his waist and as he reached out to pick up the jug of water on the table, his nostrils flared as a sweet scent shifted into them.His brows furrowed as he looked into the mirror. There she lay, completely unclad on his bed. Her lips wore a shade of sultry smile and her eyes sparked seductively.He slowly turned around, anger slowly rising within him but rage bubbled through his veins at the audacity of her to enter his chambers without his permission and her guts to lay naked on his bed.All he saw was red. Nothing else."How dare you?" He snarled. Waves of breeze brushed the curtains in the room and Selda closed her eyes as it almost had her falling back in bed. Her chest heaved heavily as she tried to rise up back.“How dare you climb into my bed? Who gave you the permission?” He bellowed an
