Asher"Quickly, let's go," Xenra said to the guard that supported my other arm, and they both led me into the secret passage.As we walked through it, I kept hearing the loud wails and screams of my people, conveying their agony and distress.The sound of metal clashing against another filled the air and made my heart ache. That was the cry of my innocent citizen, and the fact that I had to hide to save my life broke my heart.As we walked through the dimly lit passage, my heart kept bleeding as their voices filled the whole space.Deep within me, I knew I had to do something; I knew I shouldn't be the coward who abandoned his people and flew to safety while his people were being sacrificed in their home.Filled with that determination, I halted in my tracks, refusing to be led farther away from my people, who were sacrificing their lives for our clan.Xenra's head whipped towards me, but before she could say a word about it, I swiftly began to speak:"This whole thing will lead to ev

Xenra"No," I shook desperately as I stared at him, "I can't leave you." My words tumbled out in a determined rush.Seeing him getting weaker and weaker was already a painful sight, but what I couldn't bear to do was to leave him alone just as he had requested."What is wrong with you?!" Asher said, more like a statement than a question. "I'm asking you to leave now. Do you want Lenhandro to kill you again and have the last laugh?""He's your worst enemy, and we both know you'd forever be uneasy if you don't have your revenge against him tonight," Asher added, his voice firm and resolute.Asher's breath finally stabilised, but then I knew it wasn't something to rejoice over, since that was the nature of the poison. My clan's mate had always referred to it as "the poisonous deceit."I knew it was the last gathering of strength that would last for just twelve hours after the person had been injected, before his eventual demise."As you can see, I'm getting better and can take care of my

AsherI could feel my spirit gradually leaving my body as I lay there. The whole of me felt heavy; I was tired of struggling, and my vision began to blur.Vaguely, I heard Lena hiss and saw her walk away from the room. The victorious smile I saw on her face jabbed at my heart even as it dawned on me that I wouldn't be able to save my people and defend what I had always held dear.My mind began to reel with countless thoughts, a chaotic mix of thoughts that made my mind run wild as I sought a solution.But no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't get my mind to focus. The intense pain I was feeling inside wouldn't allow me to focus on a possible solution, and I began to wonder if that was how I would die.My chest was tightening within me, and my breath grew short. Gradually, I began to gasp for breath.Outside my room, I could hear the footsteps of soldiers running towards the entrance. I could also hear the heavy thuds of soldiers on the marbled floor outside the mansion as they r

Lena"Get your hands off me; I don't know what you're talking about!" I declared, my voice heavy with determination.I had realised that acknowledging his words would make it more difficult to execute the rest of the plans.So I knew I had to deny having anything to do with it. But Asher scoffed as soon as she heard my words.It seemed he had really laid his hands on a little evidence, but I was going to give him the satisfaction of finding out that he was right."Do you think you can fool me?" He scoffed, his eyes blazing with wrath. "You can't fool me!" "The only thing stopping me from sniffing out the breath from you right now is because I want to see how your brother and whoever he's coming with will be defeated; that's the only thing that's stopping me from squeezing the life out of you." He growled, his words tumbling out in a fierce intensity.His grip on my neck got a little tighter, but I managed to hold my ground. Deep within me, I knew if he continued like that, I'd surel

Asher Xenra's words dropped into my heart and filled me with a heightened sense of determination. But before I could get myself to respond to her, the trumpet sounded again. It was an indication that the enemies were already near, very close to our pack. As soon as I heard it, I fixed my gaze back on Xenra. "I promise you, I'll grant you that request," I said to her, my voice firm and urgent. "Brother!" Akira called, her voice desperate, laced with urgency as she stared at me, her heart banging hard against her ribcage in a mix of fear and urgency. The word had barely left my lips when Akira rushed into my arms again, and as I held her tightly in my embrace, I said to her and Damian, "There's no time to waste anymore; you should leave now." My voice rang with the urgency that had settled into my heart. In that instant, I pried her hands away from me and handed her to Damian, who quickly answered with a vibrant "yes, Alpha," and began to pull her towards the secret door, while A

AsherSuddenly, we heard the sound of the trumpet, the sound that has always called for the gathering of my troops.My eyes widened as the realisation of what was coming dawned on me, and I swallowed hard, knowing there was no more turning back.It was the announcement of war, an inevitable war that was about to erupt in my clan.That was the first time ever, another clan was invading my home; the first time they dared set their feet in my clan with their weapons, calling for a war.Xenra's head whipped towards me as the sound of the trumpet covered the whole of my territory.In that instant, I turned towards Xenra, whose gaze had never departed from me, and for the first time in a very long time, I felt a great sense of uncertainty settling within me."Okay," I said, my voice laced with emotions, "it's time for war." I heard myself say to her as though she didn't know what the sound meant.Even though I tried to maintain a calm facade, my heart kept banging hard against my ribcage. B
