Cold Queen

by K. Webster

  Her gaze softens. “I suppose it’s only fair. You’ve made me the happiest woman.”

  “Eat,” I growl as I steal a kiss. “You’ll need your energy for later.”

  “I bow for no one,” she whispers. “No one tells me what to do.”

  “Tonight, you’ll bow for me, Cold Queen. And then I’ll spend the rest of the night worshipping you between your thighs.”

  One of the older children groans nearby, making us both laugh.

  I sit up straight and let the wiggling baby girl hold my finger again, only wincing slightly when she lights me up with her blazing fist. Looking down the table, I admire all my beautiful children. Some with white hair and others with black. All beautiful and powerful and loved.

  When I set off on my journey for the Hidden Lands years ago eager to fight in the Moral War, I expected to strengthen an empire and take a princess to make her my queen. I never dreamed I’d fall in love with a cruel, cold queen on the brink of death and give her eight perfect children. I never dared to hope I’d love not one person, but eight more, with every part of my being.

  There’s room in my heart for many more.

  And that’s my truth.

  Enjoyed this book?

  Read the others in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection!

  Once upon a time, there was a faction of authors who frolicked in darkness and forged twisted tales. Their hearts, while still pure, adored those childhood fairy tales of royal princesses and true love’s first kiss, but their villainous minds craved danger and sinister delights—as did many of the readers in Romancelandia. And so these authors came together, each one choosing a beloved tale they’d manipulate and blanket in darkness. How vastly will fates change? Will maleficence reign supreme? Is true love’s first kiss enough to save their souls?
