Vampire QueenAs I descended the staircase from my chambers with my friend Hannah and Leon—my most trusted guard—I saw Marcus walking towards the door, and my lips twitched with irritation."Marcus!" I called out to him, halting him immediately in his tracks.Immediately, he turned and walked towards the staircase where I stood, while I drew in a deep breath, stilling whatever irritation had settled in my heart."Yes, my lady!" Marcus answered as soon as he got to the foot of the staircase, with a bow and a gesture of reverence.I forced a smile on my face, a mask I had worn over my growing uneasiness as I began to speak,"I saw you talking to that fat maid that came with the Alpha; hope all is well?" I asked as calmly as I could."Oh my lady," Marcus' response came almost immediately, "it was nothing to be concerned about, my lady. She was just asking for assistance." Marcus responded with his hands held together in reverence.As soon as the words left his lips, I burst into laughter

XenraAfter a careful observation, I got to the place where Marcus and I had agreed to meet to find him waiting for me already.As soon as he saw me, he closed up the distance between us, and with a small bow of his head, he acknowledged my presence, "My Lady!""I think I've found a way to let you into your secret chambers." He said, his voice rushed and urgent, causing my eyes to glint with anticipation as I stared at him, "Tell me about it," I responded, my tone, matching the urgency in his tone.As I waited for his response, I noticed a flicker of hesitation on Marcus' face. It was as though he was considering whether to let me in on it or not.After about five seconds that stretched longer than it should, I asked, "What is the matter?" Breaking the uncomfortable silence that had settled upon us."It's a bit risky, my lady, and would require us to be extremely careful in order not to attract the attention of any guard." He answered, his voice heavy with concern.I could see the wo

XenraI could see the confusion in his eyes as his gaze turned inwardly again. At that moment, scenes of my initial encounter with her began to replay in my head again."I don't really know," I answered, now partly engrossed in thoughts. "I'm confused about it as well." My words echoing the confusion that had settled in my heart.Right there, I began to ponder my initial assumptions, but the fact that she had betrayed no emotions when we met totally pulled down every single thing I had once believed to be true.After about six more seconds, I snapped out of the thoughts that had gotten me busy and fixed my gaze back on Marcus Seraphite.Despite the growing feeling of uncertainty within me, I still went ahead and relayed my concerns to him."Although I suspect she's the original owner of this body I'm now occupying," I said, "I think the moon goddess caused a switch when the incident happened that night."The words had barely left my lips when Marcus exclaimed, "I knew it!" His eyes g

XenraJust like a flash, he swung his sword towards me, a swishing sound filling the air as it sliced through the air to my neck."Speak!" He bellowed, his chin and nose scrunched up in a fierce determination.In that instant, I raised my jaw upwards and stared straight into his eyes, stilling whatever fear was trying to find its way into my heart.I knew it was an opportunity for me to regain my place in my home. I knew getting Marcus's trust would be a stepping stone to my comeback. So I determined to grab the opportunity before me.I was going to do anything to make sure I was able to convince him that I was the real vampire queen. I was still gathering my thoughts when Marcus' voice came again,"You better start speaking before I slit your head off your neck." His voice was stern and unwavering as he held my gaze, but I remained calm and collected.I stretched out my hands, but it wasn't because I was surrendering to Marcus but because I wanted to assure him that I was harmless.

XenraFilled with that determination, I made my way to the other side of the palace, my eyes scanning every nook and corner.My steps were filled with determination as I glided through the pathway that led to my secret chambers, a place known by a few of my personal guards. I had to retrieve some of my ancient books that made me tick, and some of the books that could provide a solution to my mess.I slipped into my secret library, and had just begun to tiptoe towards my bookshelves when I heard the voice of a guard behind me, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" The man questioned, his voice ringing with an authority that jolted me off my carefulness and halted me in my tracks.My heart skipped a beat and my eyes grew a little wilder, but just before I could turn towards the person who had just spoken, a knowing ignited my understanding and stilled my once racing heart. I knew who that voice belonged to—Marc.A smile stretched across my face at the sight of hope. I had yearn

XenraAfter a while of staring at Asher's face, I heaved a sigh of relief and stood up to leave. He was sleeping soundly now, like a little baby; the strain on his face had given way for a semblance of serenity.After adjusting the blanket to his neck, I got ready to leave. As soon as I turned around, my gaze fell on the vampire queen, who had just walked into the room."That was quite impressive." She stated as she closed up the distance between us, a broad smile curling her lips as she stared at me.The sight of my body standing right before me filled me with a great sense of sadness. My gaze swept through her, and I saw my body as graceful as ever.My brows creased slightly as I stared into her eyes, searching for whatever might give her away or reveal a little sign of guilt, but she maintained an impeccable expression.Unlike what I had expected, her eyes glinted with warmth; there was no awkwardness in her smile as though she had nothing to hide."I must say you did a good job."
