HIS QUEEN novel Chapter 22

I pulled on my leather pants and sports bra and headed downstairs. Today was for hunting. I had lost the first game to Gardenia. I walked downstairs nonchalantly and into the open field where the audience and spectators had gathered.

Thane sat in his throne, Jairus on his left. The throne on the right was empty. The rules for the second game was stated out. Two hours to hunt. The one with the most kill wins the round. We entered the forest through separate routes.

For the first thirty minutes I chased a rabbit. Stumbling and hurting myself but never catching it. I sighed in frustration and sat in defeat.

"Giving up already?" I turned to the voice and saw the woman from yesterday.

"I tried my best"

"Yeah I saw. You're extremely horrible at hunting" way to make me feel better.

"What exactly are you doing here?"

"To watch the competition of course"

"You knew?"

"Of course I did. Wait here" she went away for a while and returned with three rabbits.

"What?"

"You'll never win by playing fair. How do you think you got missing yesterday. Bitch changed the directions"

"How do you know that?"

"Same way I know you're a virgin"

"How do you even know that!"

"You don't want to know" she disappeared again and returned with a deer.

"Now for the last one, we have to catch a boar"

"We? A boar?"

"Yes. A boar. A wild one"

"That's risky"

"Life is full of risks"

"I'm going back"

"Do you want to lose your precious king to some slimy she wolf. Never touch him, never to kiss him, living the rest of your life imagining her hands on him . . ."
