Novel & Cerita Queen 33

I murmur under my breath. I feel Shawn standing behind me, so I lean back into his chest. He slides his arms around my waist. "Have you considered the queen's offer?" he asks softly. I nod and he kisses my shoulder. "And?" "I don't know," I tell him. "It scares you," he says. "It does." "Make sure you remember that you will not be doing this alone. I will remain by your side and you will have my mother's support as well. She was Luna of my pack for thirty years and would be glad to help you learn."

Queen joked. "Ah! You know say I like you na. Na fruit of my children I Dey enjoy! Na you dey take care of me." "No wahala, baba. You no say I no Dey disappoint. Take, help me manage am" Queen said as she stretched forth her hand to give the old man one thousand naira. "I go even buy you three of that sachet gin wey u like well well when we Dey come back" She added.

She asked, impatient as she waited for him to elaborate. "Bruce a-and Layla Kingston. They're the leaders of t-the Panthers, The American m-mafia." She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Unfortunately, I don't have a clue of who they are." The woman grabbed another knife from the table and slashed multiple cuts on his chest, red blood oozing down his torso freely. Bella went around him and carved a heart on his bare back. It was her symbol; a signature, you could say. Each of her victims, alive or not, bared the symbol on their skin.

The queen turn around and raise her hands to open the portal from where they came from. "Wait!!!" The guards said. " I will asked him first of your request." Queen Inah stopped and grinned mischievously at the guards reply. She knows that she won't be denied by the leader of the warlock. They have waited for a while for the reply of Lucius. "He said you can take three companion but not more." The guard relay the message. " I only need two." The queen said, and so one of the guards lead them into a hallway until they reach a large room Brianna look around. "What is this place?" She asked impressed with her surrounding.

Madison said, trying to hide her annoyance. “Okay… let’s get this over with.” I stood up and walked towards the door. Before leaving, I turned and said, “On second thought, I won’t go alone. If Crystal could say no to the queen, then she’s more dangerous than I thought. Warren, can you come with me? I will need a witness of faith.” “Well thought out,” said the queen, while everyone nodded at the same time. Warren walked next to me and, looking at Maddison, said, “Don’t worry, little one. I won’t let the model fool my boy.”

"Alright, I’ll sell you three percent of the shares, and you can add another ten million. How about thirty million for the deal?" One percent of Queen Corp’s shares for ten million was already a very low price. At the current market price, even one percent of shares could easily fetch twenty million or even higher. If it weren’t for her urgency, Adele would have considered twenty million too low. Now, selling for only ten million, she herself felt like she was going crazy.

“My mate has spoken. I have done my part. The other two quadpod pieces can take care of the rest of the witches if there are some still alive.” “That’s my mate!” Xael beams and whisks me off my feet. “I agree with Xena. I am also done. It is time to relax and enjoy life,” the golden queen tells her mate who is thrilled. “Ehh,” the golden queen’s Epsilon starts while mine avoids our eyes. Xael clenches his jaw and curses out. “We have been shown the third piece,” they blurt out while I shake my head. “It is a pair, but they are vulnerable.”

My breath is taken from me as I watch Bella, the woman I rejected six years ago, walk past me after being crowned Queen. I could not take my eyes off of her through the ceremony. Not when the doors open, and that scent of moon flowers that I could never forget came wafting in. Not when she first walked past me, looking ahead at the dais where King Jonathan stood, ready to help crown her Queen. Not when she turned to face us with the crown on her head as the King proclaimed her as Alpha Queen Isabella Nightlock, ruler of wolves.

"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.

“Oh, Luna Ivanna, I completely forgot! Prince Maverick is departing soon. He wanted to see you before he left.” “Oh, my Goddess, so soon? He isn't even fully recovered, and he's already on his way out? My dear Maverick,” the Queen fussed, waving her hands emotionally. She darted out of the lounge before we could even cross the threshold. Tessa giggled as we started walking down the corridor. “The Queen always had a massive soft spot for Maverick. He’s thirty-one years old, but she still tries to baby him.”
