Is it better to be feared or better to be loved?
I'm both.
I am feared because I am Mathilda Zelda, warrior Queen of Aina O Koa, victor over seven kingdoms, Slabyy, Xuruo de, Yaghan, Deo Ganghage, Forte, Vitoria, and Sheva. The kings of the lands around my growing empire step carefully. I was feared for my wrath, my skill in battle, for the cobras, scorpions, and lion I keep as pets. For my lipstick made from cobra venom. For my mind which outsmarted many a foe. For basically all I am, I am feared.
But once I am a land's new queen, the people grow to love me. Aina O Koa was a dying land when I took the throne, now even my poorest had a roof of their very own over their heads, every single one. My farms are booming, my people can or are learning to read and write, and a vain of diamonds was found. To my people, I am Queen Mathilda Zelda, the best ruler they've ever had.
I really don't know whether it was better to be feared or loved.
Being trapped inside one place most of your life is suffocating. So I took it upon myself to go behind my mother's back every chance I got to leave. I never thought that one day I would be caught. My mother agrees to let me go to school with the neighboring pack's alpha. She only agreed to prove to me that was a monster to other species. To her a Vampire demon should never be left unattended. She may be right most of the times. This time I think my mother could be wrong.
Mother doubted me only to be proved wrong. I can coexist with wolves, I've been doing it for years. Now the humans. They are tempting for a hybrid like me. I can push past their tempting blood for 8 hours each day. The thing is I might not want to but I can. Life just keep throwing obstacles my way. Now I have a beloved. An extremely tempting beloved. My demon loves the taste of blood. How long before she gets a taste or our mates?
