Epilogue.XenraFollowing the defeat of the most powerful male vampire – Lenhandro – and one of the strongest Alphas – Leo, Asher rose as the strongest Alpha in the whole of the packs, solidifying his reign as supreme above them all.As a result, every other clan and pack took it upon themselves to pay homage to him as the supreme Alpha.One month had passed already, and every pack had enjoyed a season of peace and tranquillity, from the smallest to the largest packs. None of them saw themselves as supreme over another, but submitted to Asher, who in turn ensured that they were catered to.But his jurisdiction didn't rest only with the werewolves; even the vampire kingdoms as well had accepted his rule, for fear of his retaliation over Lenhandro's invasion.As a result, one month had passed already, yet the tranquillity that had spread all over the whole packs had never wavered a bit.Asher's victory had ushered in a season of peace and stability which extended to all territories.As

XenraA great sense of peace flooded me as soon as I heard their words. I had been worried that they might not appreciate what I had done for them since I was an Omega, even though I had been transformed into my own skin.They couldn't even recognise me, which was understandable, as not many people saw me when I was still the vampire queen, and even when I was in that fat Cecilia's body, I didn't come in contact with the elders or pack members; little wonder they were all oblivious to the transformation of my body.As I stared at them, I didn't need any to tell me that they meant what they had just said, and as if they hadn't said enough, he continued,"We've accepted you as our Luna; we don't care about the rumours flying around about whether you're an Omega or not. You've saved us all and have proven to us how deserving you are to be our Luna, and we're all ready to acknowledge you as our Luna." The man's words tumbled out in a fierce rush as he spoke.The expression on his face was

XenraStill unable to utter a word, I quickly bent my left shoulder and, at the same time, turned towards it to check for the scar that made me an Omega.As soon as I saw it, my lips gradually joined together, and the smile on my face gradually spread into a broad, peaceful smile.At that moment all I felt was peace. My gaze was still fixed on it when I began to speak. "It seems the moon goddess didn't completely give me back my body." I told him with a small voice."Don't feel bad about it," Asher began to say, brushing off a stray strand of hair from my face, his eyes glinting with excitement as they bore into mine.His words made the smile on my face stretch further, and I couldn't help but chuckle softly. "I'm not feeling bad about it," I replied calmly."What really matters to me right now is that I'm happy. Being the vampire queen came with a lot of stress, and I'm sure you can relate to it. It wasn't easy bearing the burden of the pack on my shoulders and looking out for them a

Xenra"Don't get me wrong," Asher swiftly said as soon as the words left my lips. "I perfectly love you the way you are. Just that it'll be unlawful for you to continue this way." A light furrow appeared on his face as he spoke."As long as that impersonator is still alive, people will always mistake her for you," He continued calmly. "You know how she's been tarnishing your image, and she won't stop because she doesn't really care at all, but nobody knows that, they will always think you're the one doing those things,""So I'll want you to have your body back and reclaim your image."Asher's words tumbled out in a rush as he spoke, filled with emotions. His voice oozed the depth of his sincerity as he conveyed it to me.I couldn't deny the truth in his words as I listened to him speak, even though I wanted nothing more.But then I knew he was telling the truth, Cecilia had done more damage to my name, and had never stopped ruining my image, I knew it was best I reclaimed black my b

Chapter 240 - Your Real Body.Xenra"I'm going to punish you for killing an innocent soul," Asher's voice was filled with determination as he spoke, his face tight with annoyance.From the look on his face I could see how disgusted he felt. As soon as the words left his lips, Asher's head whipped towards Sylvester."What's the punishment given to a murderer?" He asked, his voice echoing the determination burning within him."Alpha," Sylvester acknowledged with a bow. As he stood back upright he began to speak, "a life taken must be repaid by a life." He answered, his voice dripping in a matching intensity.Meanwhile, Royce had gone silent as he stared at both of them, his chest heaving hard, his face tight with determination as he waited for Asher's final verdict.He was determined to pull her down with him, the look on his face echoed his fierce resolution. He probably thought he was doing a good thing exposing the Alpha's mate, and I knew he would want to garner favour from it.As

AsherA derisive snort escaped my nostrils as soon as I heard Royce's words. I knew he was only trying to bail himself out, but I would never give him that opportunity, not after what he had done."I know already," I swiftly replied, my voice heavy with certainty as I stared down at him, who was desperately trying to save himself."No, I'm not sure you know what I'm talking about," Royce swiftly replied, determination laced in his words."Lena is not even your betrothed; she's an imposter that killed your mate and has been living with her identity all this while." Royce said, his words tumbling out in a fierce rush as he stared at me with his eyes wide open.I couldn't help the scoff that escaped my lips as soon as I heard his words. He must have thought I hadn't found out about it already.Since he had been on the run since he found out that I was alive, he didn't know that I had already found out about her identity, and since I had placed Lena on house arrest ever since that day, I

Nicklaus took it even more seriously than he should have ever done, knowing that he had already believed in a few things and covering it up was coming to be a total disaster that he was not willing to take risks for.The only difference between him and the few people who had gotten interested in this was the fact that everybody decided to bring forth their strong reasons and that should be the bone of contention rather than all the things that they currently have.Heading into the library where he believed his grandfather must have been hiding some vital information that could help him out as time went on, he decided that he was no longer going to get involved in many of the things that were going to wear him down; instead he would focus his attention on what truly mattered.Most of them included dealing with people according to the way they decided to bring this to him instead of just accepting whatever was about to be dumped.It was not going to be easy to switch things to his own s

After breakfast, Trent and Brandon had gone to their respective works, even Zora had left and now Claire felt like she was all alone in a big pack.She had tried lying down for a nap earlier but sleep would not come. Her mind kept replaying everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts."Come in," she called out.One of the maids stepped inside, a young woman with dark hair tied back in a neat bun. "Miss Claire, the Luna requests your presence downstairs."Claire got to her feet immediately. "Of course, I will be right there."The maid gave her a small smile before leaving. Claire smoothed down the borrowed clothes, wishing she had something more presentable to wear. But her luggage was still somewhere in Brandon's car and they had not had time to retrieve it yet.She made her way down the grand staircase. When she reached the living room, she found Zora sitting on one of the couches with two other women.They had fabric s

The heat from the brazier filled the cell, and the prisoner was sweating profusely to the point where he felt like he could barely breathe.Trent stood there watching him with a blank expression. The man's eyes kept darting between Trent's face and the glowing coals, his breathing getting faster with each passing second.Brandon picked up one of the iron rods from beside the brazier and held it over the coals. The metal began to glow, shifting from dull gray to orange.The prisoner's body started trembling. His chains rattled against the chair as he tried to lean back, trying to put more distance between himself and that heating rod. But there was nowhere to go."Wait," the man gasped. "Wait, please." He swallowed his saliva, gasping for breath.Trent did not move. Instead, he kept his eyes locked on the prisoner."Please!!" the man said again, his voice breaking. "I will speak. I will tell you everything. Just please do not do this."Trent tilted his head slightly. "Are you ready to

Trent sat at the dining table with Zora beside him, both of them nursing cups of coffee with smiles on their faces while they chatted.The sound of footsteps approaching made him look up. Brandon appeared in the doorway with Claire at his side. Trent and Zora did a double take when they saw what she was wearing.One of Brandon's white shirts was on her small body, the sleeves rolled up several times so her hands could be free. The sweatpants she wore were equally oversized, bunched at the ankles and held up by what looked like a makeshift belt.Brandon caught his look and gave a slight shrug. "Her luggage is still in the car. We have not had a chance to retrieve it yet.""No worries," Zora said with a warm smile, standing to greet them. "I can lend you some clothes after breakfast if you would like."Claire's cheeks flushed slightly. "That would be wonderful, thank you, Luna.""Please, just call me Zora. We are all family now." She gestured to the empty chairs. "Come, sit. You must be

Claire leaned forward, closing the distance between them. She pressed her lips to his, soft and tentative at first.Brandon went rigid. His hands came up like he was going to push her away, to stop this before it went further since he wasn't sure if this was the right time or if it was too soon.But Claire deepened the kiss, pouring all her certainty and acceptance into it. The mate bond took hold, and he could feel all of her emotions.After a moment, his resistance crumbled. His hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer as he kissed her back with equal fervor.When they finally broke apart, both of them were breathing hard. Claire rested her forehead against his, listening to the sound of his heartbeat."Thank you," she whispered. "For being patient with me. For not pushing, and most especially, for being exactly what I needed even when I did not know I needed it. I thank the moon goddess every day that she paired me with a man like you."Brandon let out a shaky laugh. "You are g

Claire's eyes slowly opened as they felt heavy.The first thing she noticed when she woke up was the throbbing pain in her head. It felt like someone had taken a hammer to her skull and decided to keep going. She groaned softly, pressing her palm against her forehead.She narrowed her eyes with a confused expression, trying to focus on her surroundings. The room was unfamiliar but comfortable. Soft morning light made her feel relaxed. The bed beneath her was larger than hers, the sheets smelling faintly of pine and something masculine.Then the memories started trickling back. The journey and then the wolfsbane in the form of smoke. The way her lungs had burned when she breathed it in. The panic when she realized Brandon was missing.Everything was starting to make sense to her, but none of it pointed to where she was right now.She had gone looking for Brandon. That much she remembered clearly. Her feet stumbling through the woods, her vision blurring with each moment the poison hit
