My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 23-Now that I love you

My head weigh heavily and my eyes stung as I tried to pull it open, I felt pain in my joint and down my lower making me groan as I eventually win the struggle to keep my eyes open. My eyes fell on Barb first and it seems she was looking thoughtfully at me.

“What happened?” I groaned as the pain started to subside slowly.

“You passed out” Barb simply replied while I tried recollecting the previous events. I recalled talking to Hero and I remembered him getting mad then-

“Claire” My head immediately snapped to Hero’s direction, I hadn’t noticed he was sitting at the right side of the bed in a floating armchair, he had this sleepy gaze on and I concluded he must have fallen asleep, seeing his face; the memory instantly struck me, he had sent me flying the rage in my eyes knew no bounds.

“Leave” I said as gently as I could but he was hesitant.

“Hero I said leave!” I bellowed and he immediately shot up to his feet while I felt my tentacles turning red.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to” Probably it was my time to get mad because one look at him and I set him flying back against the wall, my eyes were flashing bright silver as I stood from my bed and had him pinned high up against the wall.

“You almost killed me!” I snapped but Hero wasn’t retaliating then the colour faded in my eyes and he slipped down to the floor while I returned to my bed trying to calm myself.

“Just leave Hero, please” I pleaded and Hero rose to his feet and slowly walked out of my room while I slipped back under the blanket, I felt strange, really strange…I felt more powerful and I could feel the power running in my veins, I looked at the glass on the dresser and I realised my eyes flashed making Hero float towards me, my eyes were beautiful as it continued to glow silver, then it started to turn Green, taking me a little by surprise.

“Barb what is going on with me? This feels strange” I complained as I felt the ache in all my body start to vanish.

“The doctor is yet to confirm what might be wrong considering you’ve been out for two weeks” I instantly shot up my head.

“What?” My jaw dropped in shock.

“You were pretty injured, the king is really sorry for that-

“Where exactly does your loyalty lies Barb?” I started to doubt, before I knew Barb was always loyal to me even if it means going against Hero, but after her modifications I started to doubt her loyalty.

“With you, the king has successfully made a male robot similar to me, he had used my prototype to create a robot that answers only to him while I was commanded to answer only to you after Ruben passed his physical tests. Claire, you have nothing to worry about…I am your friend, assistant, and your slave, I shall forever be loyal to you” Barb assured and I sighed feeling glad about that.

“What happened to Hero’s uncle?” I asked sighing as I rested my back against the headboard.

“He had been thrown into the mines to work after you pleaded with the king” Barb replied and I scoffed not at all moved by Hero’s effort to make up for hurting me.

“I’m hungry Barb, get me some food please” I requested and I watch her nod and walked out of my room to yield to me almost immediately. I felt like a fool to have trusted Hero, there was no way he could change, I thought he was coping…I thought he was the Hero I used to know, I kept hoping that deep inside him he was still that Hero but he had changed, he wasn’t who I think he was anymore. He has gotten colder and more violent, if he always liked me like he claimed why does Aira seem too hard for him to forget, I know I also couldn’t forget Nicholas so easy but at least I hold no resentment towards my past. He had so much hatred and resentment buried inside of him because of Aira and I can’t tell why, but I hated it with all my soul, I hated the fact that he made everything about Aira such a big deal. I heaved another heavy sigh before Barb finally made her way in with my food.

“Thank you, Barb” I smiled as I welcomed the meal and ate with an unusually large appetite, everything tasted good, and would have requested for more but I felt bored.

“Barb, is it possible to walk the street of Arinxon city, I’m strangely bored” I requested and Barb gave me a pensive.

“I would need to request the permission of the king-

“Just forget it” I immediately cut her off and moved back to the bed, I started to feel my body weakening and slowly falling asleep which was another strange thing considering I’d been asleep for two weeks already. I was still asleep when I felt my arms spreading warmth and sparks to every other part of my body and I moaned. It felt so good that I abruptly flashed up my lead. Of course, it was Hero, it just has to be him.

But I didn’t have the sense to get mad at him as I felt my head getting clouded by the feelings of want and desire as he continued to roam my body with his hands. It hadn’t felt like this the first time…I deliberated as my body flared up and I felt every nerve come to life.

“What the f**k is happening to me?” I moaned out but Hero didn’t stop, he continue his exploration with just his hands and nothing else, when he slipped his four digits palm into the plain top I was wearing, I let out another heavy moan and when he finally decided to kiss me, I instantly felt all my thoughts fly out of the window at the explosion of sparks and pleasure, my stomach clenched in need and I writhed wanting to be touched, Hero didn’t hold back, he gave his all, he slipped me out of my clothes and got off his in one swift motion that had me wondering if he’d torn the clothes or actually got them off, but he seized those thoughts from as well after he invaded my world and claimed me leaving me breathless, my tentacles were in knots as I fisted a handful of the bedsheets clamping them in my fist as I submitted to Hero. I was still freaking mad at him but I can’t remember how to be mad right at what he was doing to me, our breathing was ragged and heavy as he quickened his pace ready to give me all he had, he practically roared as he let go finally quenching the raging fire inside of me, I felt sated as he released me and lay next to me, then I recalled I was still mad at him.

“I’m sorry” He blurted before I could even say a word.

“I’m so sorry, I…I-” Hero started to hiccup and then sob, was this dude okay or it was just normal in the alien world to cry after s*x because I wasn’t in any way expecting that. I was speechless as I watch him cry.

“Seriously?” I finally found my voice after a while of staring at him speechlessly.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you-

“Hell no you didn’t, but you did anyway” I frowned not wanting to buy his preteens but heck it was working because I felt my anger slowly started to melt.

“I don’t know why I got so angry-

“What other reason could it be if it isn’t because of Aira? You always lose control at the mention of her name, making me wonder why you gave me those doting looks all the time if you were that into her, or was it because I’m in her body. Hero, you should probably get this straight…I’m not her and would never be her so, if you can’t forget your ex-wife, sulk on it all you want it’s none of my goddamn business” I lashed angrily at him and I saw him pale, this time he wasn’t sobbing but he was dumbstruck and tears were running down his green face making me groan because I was suddenly feeling guilty. He sighed and slowly turned away from me placing his feet on the floor turning his back on me, I knew he was about to leave and I must admit, I hate him turning his back at him before he could stand, I throw my hands around his waist not wanting him to leave.

“I’m sorry” I muttered softly resting my head on his back.

“I loved you both equally Claire, you were both my mate and…I might have been biased in the way I treated you but that doesn’t mean I didn’t love you, Claire, you know that…you knew that since we were on earth, you can’t deny how much I liked you before meeting Aira so-

“It’s alright Hero, I know…and I’m sorry. I know how it feels Hero-

“No, you don’t-

“Of course I do, I love Nicholas remember…and now that I love you it feels so strange” I froze, realising what I’d just said…oh God what have I done?
