Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

"Good morning!" Hope chirped.

"Morning," I mumbled, going straight to the miracle drink, also known as coffee. I made my drink and sipped it, burning my mouth. "Crap!" I cursed as my hand flew up to my mouth.

Hope laughed. "Be careful. Coffee is hot," she stated. I sent a glare in her direction before hopping on top of the counter.

"Wanna hang out today?" I asked.

Hope raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have Queen stuff?"

I shook my head. "Nope. I'm finally free today," I stated with a smile on my face. Its Thursday, meaning the coronation was four days ago. This is my first day off. Lately, I've been doing paperwork, setting up patrols, and meeting a few Alphas.
