THE ROGUE QUEEN

“Hurry up Magnolia. She’s about to break free”

“Aaahhh- I will kill all of you” an angry Mariam yelled on the bed. Her forehead glistening with sweat while she used all her might to try and break free from her restraints. She had been taking a midnight stroll with her friend Amethyst when her contractions began.

She was about to give birth but she was too early. She was about to give birth to her child at 6 months. I need to contact my mate. She had thought but her mind link wasn’t working.

Her vision started getting hazy and the last thing she remember was a distant. I’m sorry before she faded.

“You- fuck!” she screamed as the next contraction hit her harder than the last.

“You are going to pay for this. All of you” she gritted out. The overwhelming sensation of her cervix opening made her cry out in agony. It was too much.

“I don’t think she’s going to make it” one of the witches who was watching whispered lowly.

Amethyst who was sitting by the corner whipped her head so fast it was shocking she did not get a whiplash.

“Wha-What do you mean by that” she said while swallowing a huge lump in her throat. This was never part of the plan.

“She’s fighting the magic” the elder said. “If we stop the spell the child dies. If we continue it then-”

“Just fucking do it” Mariam screamed while laying on the bed. Tired. “I can’t let her- she can’t die” she sobbed.

The witches present all nodded their heads in unison and began chanting.

Mariam thrashed and screamed on the bed while they continued their spell. The spell that would help change their fates.

They had gone through great lengths to kidnap the mate of the hybrid king. King Stark. They needed her child in order to save their kind.

Mariam’s cries resonated in the underground temple for what seemed like hours until the soft cry of a baby was heard.

“Let me see her” Mariam croaked out.

The baby made soft cooing noises while being cradled by her mother. “Hello baby” Mariam whispered. “You are so beautiful” she said while a tear rolled down her face.

“It’s time” the elder said before snatching the baby from Mariam’s grasp.

“Nooooo” Mariam screamed. “Give me back my baby. Please-”

The other witches restrained her while the elder travelled to the surface with her. She then lifted the baby and started chanting repeatedly.

The blood moon above them shot a beam of light that hit the baby. After a few minutes it stopped.

“Open your eyes baby” the elder said. As if on command the baby opened her eyes. Her irises were purple.

“Marvelous” the elder whispered while looking at her straight in the eye. A menacing smirk perched on her lips.

“All hail the Queen” she screamed to the heavens.

“All hail the Queen” the other members of the congress joined in except for Amethyst. She was still reeling in the feeling of the void caused in the pack link as a result of Mariam’s death.

“Please sir help us. They- they want to do unspeakable things to us” I whispered while clutching onto the patrol guard’s arm, flashing him my boobs in the process.

“We will do anything if you can help us” Trina said in a low voice before getting on her knees in front of the patrol guard. She then batted her lashes while her tongue darted out to lick her lips.

The patrol guard saw that and his immediate response was to bite his lower lip. Men. I thought as I rolled my eyes internally.

“What- What do you say?” I asked in a soft voice while further clutching onto his bicep. Keeping up my innocent girl look. He starred at my brown eyes and nodded his head quickly when I reached for the hem of his shorts.

“My alpha cannot find out about this” he whispered lowly as if afraid to be caught. “We will mask our scents to match yours. Make them think we’re mates” I whispered while palming his erection.

He groaned before mumbling a ‘sure whatever’ closing his eyes while enjoying the feel of my hands rubbing on him. He did not even see the sly smirk on both Trina and I’s faces as we looked at each other.

“Let’s take this to your home” I whispered while nipping his ear slightly. Trina followed suit by licking his abdomen.

Within five minutes we were already at the packhouse. The stares we got from people were a bit unnerving but once they saw the fake mark on our necks paired with the scent we emitted which was exactly the same as his, they smiled.

Primitive creatures. I snorted. We got in the packhouse and headed to the patrol guard’s room.

“Welcome to my humble abode” he said while showing us his room. It was a mess. Pizza boxes were everywhere. I stepped on something sticky and when I looked down it was a white liquid, alongside it was a bottle of lube.

I internally screamed at my situation. Trina was trying to stay in character and ended up using her hand to conceal her laughter. Out of all the things I could have stepped on in this filthy room it just had to be semen.

“Fuck I’m sorry. I just jizz a lot” the patrol guard ended up saying. Kill me now.

“It’s fine” I gritted out angrily. My eyes flashed a purple colour for a bit. I hoped the patrol guard did not see it.

“Hey why did your eyes do that” he asked. “It’s nothing babe” I said.

“Yeah right. Tell me now before I call my alpha” he threatened.

“Try it” I said while smirking. His eyes glossed over a bit as he tried to access his Alpha through the mind link.

“You are so fucked” Trina chuckled.

“Help! Help me!” he screamed.

Trina chanted a spell and within a matter of seconds he was tied to a chair.

“Oh no baby boy” she chuckled dryly. “No one can hear your screams” she said while I straddled him.

“I’ll make this quick and easy for you” I said while my eyes flashed purple. I looked him straight in the eye before taking over his brain completely.

Using the pack mind link I was able to communicate with everyone.

I then located the Alpha’s frequency. I smirked before contacting him.

He had a wall up that I immediately disintegrated.

“What is the meaning of this Eric” he shouted, trying to use his Alpha power on me. Trying to make me submit.

“I’m sorry if I disturbed you, Rowan” I said my voice laced with venom.

“Who the fuck are-”

“Shhhhh. It’s rude to interrupt” I said tauntingly. “You can keep quiet for me? Right?” I continued with a smirk on my face knowing very well that I had managed to seal his mouth closed.

“Now. As I was saying. I need you to deliver a little message to packs around the world for me. Tell them The Rogue Queen is coming” I whispered

“I will be at your son’s coronation. Tell him I said congrats on being the new Alpha King. You must be proud”

I then cut off communication before letting Eric have his mind back. Eric’s head suddenly whipped to the right at such a fast speed I was scared.

“That’s for molesting Kenna you prick. She was just fifteen” she roared.

“Okay let’s go champ” I said while pulling her away. We then heard the sound of a growl and looked at each other before smirking. I concentrated before opening a portal. When it was opened, Trina stepped through before I did.

“What the fuck are you doing?” she screamed.

“We forgot to wipe his memory” I said while panicking. The door was being banged on loudly.

“Everybody step back” a voice which made me gasp said on the other end. It was as if my heart was threatening to beat out of my chest. What the fuck.

I thought as I looked at the door with confusion. A part of me wanted to stay and see who the owner of the voice was. A loud growl tore me back from my thoughts.

“You’re going to get us killed” Trina screamed while pulling me into the portal.

“What about the-”

“I already did it” she cut me off. I winced at the tone she used with me. Trina and I had been working together for quite a while because she was the elder’s daughter while I was the elder’s favourite.

Growing up, we were never allowed to talk to children our age. The only people we were allowed to be around was each other, the elder and my aunt Amethyst.

The elder always told me stories about my mother. How she was a very brave witch who went to infiltrate the werewolf and vampire kingdom. She tricked one of them into believing she was his mate and fell pregnant by him. After giving birth, she ran away from them and handed me over to the elder for safety.

The hybrid Steve Stark ended up killing my mother after finding out the truth. Which is the whole purpose of the mission Trina, and I embarked on today. We were going to gather all the werewolves in one place together with the vampires then demand for equal treatment of the witches. We were so sick and tired of being hunted by the vampires for sport all because the wolves refused to let their kind die.

They refused to feed on humans too. Claiming our blood was magical. The irony of it all. Our message was sure to have been delivered to packs around the world and very soon. In exactly one week’s time at the new Alpha King’s coronation, we would strike. This time however the witches would be ready because before they were weak. Now it will be very different because they have me.

“What took you so long children” the elder’s voice resonated on the other end of the portal. Her hair was all over the place caused by the frequent number of times she dragged her hands through it. She had known this was a risky mission but seeing the children here a crazed look entered her eye.

“Did you do it?” she whispered lowly, as if afraid to hear the answer.

“Yes elder” Trina and Giselle said at the same time.

“Fuck yes!” the elder screamed at the top of her lungs.

“My child” she said while cradling Giselle’s face soothingly. As if she was a porcelain doll.

“You- you are our salvation. Our hero. You will restore balance” she whispered before bestowing a kiss upon Giselle’s forehead.

A pang went through Trina’s heart. She had never seen her own mother give someone that much love before. Not even her, but what could she say. It was always ‘Giselle this’ ‘Giselle that’ as if she did not exist. As if she didn’t give birth to her.

“Trina. Tell everyone to come to the town center today. We have to celebrate” she said in a hurry.

“You my dear, wear the clothes I have put for you on your bed. You are going to look divine” she chirpily said.

Trina froze there. No matter how many times she saw how loving her mother was towards Giselle, it always took her by surprise. She never administered the type of care she showered Giselle with towards her. Never.

Giselle smiled in return then headed for her room, unaware of the glare Trina had plastered on her face as she looked at her.

“Wipe that glare off your face and go do what I instructed you to” the elder said to Trina. Her green eyes held nothing but hatred in them when she spoke to her.

“Yes mother” Trina bowed her head submissively. She then went to the center where she broadcasted the message.

“Vengeance day has arrived” she screamed. “Gather at the town center today at 6pm. The elder wants to address you all.”

Several gasps were heard in the congress of people who were gathered there. Nobody had seen the elder ever since Giselle was born.

“I was so grossed out Amy!” I shrieked.

Amethyst laughed till she started coughing. “You want to know the worst part?”

“Yes”

“He then said, and I quote ‘Fuck i’m sorry, I just jizz a lot’

That sent Amy overboard because she started howling with laughter. People who were passing by looked at her with confusion before walking away. They probably thought she was crazy.

“You know. Something weird had happened Amy”

“What?” she replied, now intrigued by my change of tone.

" I heard someone’s voice when we were about to escape. I could’ve sworn time stopped. There was this delicious scent that made me freeze in place. I wanted to see who it was” I said, a small smile on my face as I reminisced on the moment. “You know what I mean?” I asked Amy.

A look I had never seen before crossed her face. Horror. She then quickly grabbed me and pulled me towards the old fountain where people hardly went anymore.

“Amy what are you-”

“Shut up Giselle” she said in a hushed tone.

“Who else have you told about this?” she asked, her voice laced with worry.

“Only you” I replied.

“Good. Listen to me carefully” she said before she muttered some spell I couldn’t understand. She grabbed my hand and walked us into the old dried-up fountain. Suddenly the fountain started rumbling and when I east expected it, we fell.

I screamed in fear until we reached the bottom. “Pussy” Amy chuckled when she stepped off the fountain.

“This is a secret passage that your mother and I used in the past to communicate with each other. If anyone can help you with whatever you’re going through. It’s her”

“Yeah but she’s dead Amy. There’s no use” I retorted.

“Baby girl, there is a lot you don’t know about us. Mistakes, grave mistakes were made. I should have never done what I did but I can’t change the past. What I want you to know is that I did love you unconditionally my little gremlin. We don’t have much time, you need to leave this place. The elder is not who you think she is. She killed your mo-” but her sentence got cut off. Foam started bubbling out of her mouth while her eyes turned pitch black.

“Amy-” I choked. “T- talk to- to me” I stuttered.

“She is no more” the elder’s voice came from the shadows as she materialised.

“She was a betrayer. Fornicating with the werewolves. Those creatures gave her Oleander until it was too much in her system. Those filthy animals” she spat.

She then waved her hand and just like that Amy’s body turned into ash, right in front of my eyes. A small tear rolled down my face.

“Don’t cry baby” she hushed. “You will make it alright. You will make them pay at the King’s coronation. All of them. Kill them all my lotus flower” she touched my face soothingly.

“I will, elder” I said with newfound determination. The werewolves needed to pay.

“Please, call me Meredith” she said while kissing my forehead.
