Xenra

"Take this," The rench keeper threw a bucket my way, which I instinctively caught—a habit I was used to.

Before my betrayal, I had grown accustomed to the habit of catching whatever was thrown my way. Although it was a game I had always played with Lenhandro. Like they say, 'old habit dies hard,' even that chubby body couldn't stop my old habit.

Luckily for me, this time around there weren't any dung or splashes on my face; otherwise, I probably would have learnt how to stick my hands by my side the next time and skilfully avoid it.

"Go to the barn and clear their dung," he ordered, his words dripping mercilessly.

Did he think it was a delight to be a dung remover? As much as I wanted to tell him to go do it himself if he thought it easy, I had to nibble on my lip to stop myself from speaking back at him and mentally tell him to go off.

He had threatened to cut off my lunch the next time I challenged him like I did the previous night, and ever since I perceived the sumptuous aro

    Xenra"Huh!" His words slammed through me, and at that instant, realisation hit me. "Yes, you heard me right. I'll send you to the human waste session so that you can pack their excretes. That way perhaps you'd learn how to be careful." The man's words tumbled out in a rush, bearing the weight of his anger."No, no," I shook my head fervently. How can that happen to me? I had endured the humiliation of taking care of cow dung; how can they further humiliate me like that?Working at the drainage session is the height of it; I couldn't even imagine myself doing that.Well, since I saw myself in this worthless body, I had been subjected to everything I never imagined, but they should at least give me a similar face.'No! I am going to have another chance; even if I had to beg for it, I would. "Plea...se ssi..." I began to say, but the man was way too angry to listen to me."Guards." His voice rang with anger. Just then, the men who had walked in earlier walked closer."Take this worthl

    XenraRight before me was standing the annoying dwarf with an annoying grin on his face. The sight of it filled me with a great sense of rage.The fact that he had laid his filthy fingers on me made my blood boil. At that instant, I felt strength running through my veins, fuelled by his audacious move."What do you want?" I asked, my words filled with anger as I glared at him. "Shhhh!" He gestured at me to keep my voice down. "You're a fair lady, exactly my preferred type of woman; how about we have a little fun? You can call it fun after work," he said, his words wrapped with chuckle.Deep within me, I was beginning to boil over. The fact that somebody like him could see me as his type made me nibble on my lip as I tried to control the furnace brewing within me.I was doing my best to keep my anger in check and not grant him the death sentence he deserved for laying his cursed hands on me.My face was tight with a simmering anger, but the idiot didn't get my warning as he walked clo

    Xenra"Explain what?" The chief security latrine officer yelled, his voice cracking with anger. His face was tight with a mix of embarrassment and fear.From the expression on his face, I could tell he was scared of me exposing his abuse.I turned to all the faces present right there, and right there it hit me again that I was all alone. I had savoured the effect of my blow on him, but I had totally forgotten that I was no longer the vampire queen and was totally at the mercy of those people.Nobody would come to my rescue if it got worse, not even Alpha Asher, that cold-blooded demon. The realisation of it filled me with fear and made me desperate. Desperate to clear my name."Take her down!" He ordered. His guards, who looked like his puppets, at his order, kicked at the hollow of my knees.I had sent their chief flying with just one mighty blow; deep within, I knew I could withhold their kicks. But after the first kick, I realised I had used up all the strength left in me when I ga

    Xenra Right there, I began to ponder what lesson he'd teach me. I had worried about being careful not to get demoted again, but as it was, I didn't mind getting demoted than working with that animal as a boss. I scoffed in total disbelief, a light chuckle escaping my lips as I realised not even one of them was concerned about the truth or even cared to listen to my words, even though I wasn't finding it funny in any way. "What are you laughing out?" One of the guards glared at me, but if only they knew I was rather shocked than amused. "You still have the face to smile, huh?" The chief security latrine officer said, his tone tight with anger. "By the time I'm done dealing with you, I'm sure you wouldn't have the face to smile again, and then you'd know who is in charge." He stated, his words tumbling out in a rush. My lips curled upwards, and another scoff escaped my lips as his threat replayed in my head. I had been through the worst possible form of insults and humiliation sin

    Xenra"The Princess is arriving!" A male voice announced, the sound of which filled every heart present in the room with fear. 'Oh, so they have a princess,' my voice rang in my head as soon as I heard those words.I could see the fear in their hearts as they panicked. "What should we do?" One of them asked the chief security latrine officer, snapping me off my thoughts."Tie her up quickly, and leave her here. We'll deal with her later," he ordered, and at that instant, they started bounding my hands and feet with strong ropes."No, let me go. I need to see the princess as well," I yelled. It wasn't like I wanted to see her. I was only looking for a way off."Shut up!" The chief security officer yelled at me, "Quick!" He ordered his men, and after about five seconds, they were done and rushed out, leaving me alone in the room.At that moment, the people that had flanked the windows had dispatched already, but they couldn't run away since the Princess was already close by, so they hu

    Xenra a Oh no, Akira. Couldn't she at least get the signal that I didn't want to be disturbed? "Let me see her," I heard Akira's soft voice as she stopped a few feet away from the door. At that instant, a number of guards rushed towards me, and since my head was still bowed, I could only see them after I had lifted my head. One of them pulled my hair backwards; the unexpected force caused me to glare at him and eye him up and down, but they couldn't do anything to me since Akira was watching. But what do I care? Since I didn't want to be selected, I didn't mind appearing rude as long as it would drive her away. They roughly cut and loosened the ropes around my hands and feet and dragged me up like soldiers who had just received a military order. As they began to drag me towards the door, I saw Akira peering through the door. "Be gentle with her," she said gently. 'It seems she isn't as heartless as her big brother, after all,' I said to myself, my words laced w

    Xenra"Yes, my lady," the main guard answered firmly. With that, Akira turned around, and before she could walk away, she turned towards me again, a small smile on her face, before walking again.As soon as she left, I heaved a sigh, but I wasn't relieved at all. It was all messed up. I never intended to get into the palace, working as a maid. I knew I had to keep off.I knew I might not be able to keep up with any form of maltreatment, given the history of my heartbreak and hurt. I knew I might get tempted someday and say some things I wasn't supposed to, since I was someone who doesn't know how to bottle up my hurt.I realised working at the palace would get me tired down completely. I wanted to have some form of freedom.I was still fuming over the fact that I was selected when I saw the chief security latrine officer walking towards me. In that instant, I snapped out of the thought that had gotten me busy and forced a smile to my face.I wanted to rile him up and make him see how

    XenraAs I made to leave, I was stunned to see a maid standing a few feet away from the door. When did she get in? I thought, as I began to ponder if she had heard my words."When did you get in? What are you doing here?" I threw my questions to her, my eyes narrowing as I attempted to read every one of her nonverbal cues.But my question seemed to have startled her instead. "Oh, I'm so sorry," her response came with a small stuttering."I was supposed to freshen up after you, so I came in here to get my things." Her words tumbled out in a rush. But I heard her last words faintly, as I had already drifted back into thought. Does that mean she had been standing there for quite some time?I took two steps closer to her, my gaze fixed intently on her as I determined to find out if she had heard me and how much she had heard. "Okay," I said as calmly as I could."So, does that mean you heard me just now? Like, you heard what I just said?" I asked her, my words dripping with suspicion as

    AsherAlthough Xenra's words made sense to me, I felt it wasn't the right thing to do in that situation. Deep within me, I knew I had to get to the root of it.I knew I had to confirm all that she had just told us, and not just that; I also needed evidence of Lena and Royce's treason.I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy, and as I fixed my gaze back on Xenra, my determination burnt."I'm not going to tell them Akira is sick," I told her, my words dripping in a matching intensity. "Just as you've suggested, I'll play along with them, but more smartly, so I'll send someone in place of my sister."Akira's head whipped from my face to Xenra's as soon as she heard my words, her brows deeply furrowed.I didn't need anyone to tell me how what I had just said had made her uneasy; it was evident on her face.It seemed as though she was asking Xenra if that was a good idea. But Xenra remained calm; unlike Akira, she betrayed no emotions as she waited for me to go on. Typical of t

    XenraAs soon as the words left my lips, Asher went silent, and Akira didn't utter another word. After about four seconds of thick, palpable silence, Asher broke the silence."So, why did you come to me? Why did you use that ritual? You know how dangerous that ritual can be; it can cost you a whole lot," he said, his face etched with concern."Why did you ask the moon goddess to bring you here? What danger am I in?" Asher asked me, his voice calm and relaxed, his gaze fixed intently on me as he waited for my response.As soon as I heard his words, I took a deep breath, as I felt a surge of determination within me.At that moment, my initial sorrows had completely drained out and were replaced with a growing confidence.I had completely shoved aside the momentary self-pity and sadness that had overwhelmed me, and I was now more determined to push through with what had brought me out."First and foremost," I began, my gaze fixed on Asher, "the proposal from the purple moon pack was a li

    XenraAkira's head whipped towards me as soon as she heard Asher's words, and her brows furrowed deeply.I could see the fear in her eyes as she stared at me, "What did you do to the vampire queen? What did you do to her?" She asked, her words tumbling out in a helpless rush.The fear written all over her face was unmistakable as she stared desperately at me. "Don't tell me you harmed her when you followed my brother to her pack," she said, panicking.But the words had just left her lips when Asher shook his head in response, "No, she didn't," he said, his voice firm and steady, "I don't think she harmed her; let her start saying the truth."Deep within me, I knew there was no way I'd escape his room without saying the truth; I knew it was time I told them the truth since it had gotten to that.Although I didn't know how they'd react to what I was about to say, I just knew I had to.In that instant, I lifted my head that had been hanging low, and my gaze darted from Asher's face to Ak

    AsherIn that instant, my gaze flew to the door, and just as I had suspected, the locks were intact.As I fixed my gaze back on Xenra, I saw her lips trembling as she tried to make coherent words. But the only thing she could say was "I-I-I."The fear written all over her face was unmistakable as she stuttered, which made me even more curious, and my brows furrowed.Seconds stretched on but she couldn't utter a word, at least nothing coherent that I could make sense of. She couldn't even meet my gaze.After about five seconds, she fixed her gaze on me. "I, um... The—the..." She said, but I swiftly interrupted her, even as I decided to go straight to what I wanted to know.At that moment, I didn't need anyone to tell me otherwise; she was strange, and I knew it; something was definitely off about her, and she had just proven it to me, again."Who are you?" I asked her as calmly as I could, "There's no need to lie to me." I said."From the first day, you healed me, I knew there was some

    XenraI halted in my tracks as a great sense of hesitation settled within me. My mind was flooded with countless thoughts, and I began to ponder how to go about it.In that instant, it dawned on me that I was only too concerned about their safety that I didn't even think about how to go about it.As my thoughts stretched on, something crept into my heart, a diversion that made my brows furrow."Does it mean Asher likes me?" I muttered beneath my breath, but I didn't even allow the thoughts to settle in my heart before I shook it off."No, it can't be. It's not even possible," I said to myself, my voice heavy with conviction. "Maybe the moon goddess allowed it to happen because she wanted to save them." With that in mind, I quickly shoved off the thoughts as I decided to face the situation, but then I hesitated once more."What should I do? How do I go about this?" I whispered, my mind reeling with countless thoughts.I knew I couldn't just walk up to Asher and tell him his mate was p

    XenraIn that instant, I sprang to my feet, and my mind spiralled with countless thoughts as I sought means to get out of the dungeon.My fists clenched with fierce determination, and I marched forward, my steps carrying me towards the entrance of the dungeon room.For the first time ever since I was thrown into the dungeon, I deliberately stared at the gate that held me enclosed, a strong iron gate that stood from floor to roof.As I stared at it, a thought dropped into my heart, but as I pondered on it, I realised it was risky."This wouldn't do!" I snapped out of it, knowing that breaking down the gate would attract the attention of the people in the other cell and the guards."It will complicate everything and make it even more difficult to save them," I said to myself, shaking the thought from my mind.I didn't need anyone to tell me that I'd have to pass through the guards at the various posts to get to Asher even if I successfully pulled down the gate.I knew even if I threw wh

    XenraI tried to wrap my head around what was going on and why they had said such a thing like that, but nothing seemed to make sense to me.After about ten seconds of trying in vain, I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy and decided to shove it aside."After all, it has nothing to do with me," I said, shrugging, and then I began to walk back to the spot of my meditation.As I settled in the spot and tried to continue with my training, their voices kept breaking into my thoughts, making it impossible for me to focus.As I snapped back to the present, I couldn't shake off the nudge that had settled deep in my heart, a great sense of uneasiness that kept taking my mind back to the people in the other cell, and I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on."If it was about Akira, why are they doing it secretly?" I asked myself, my brows furrowing as I drifted back into thought, wondering why they really had to hide in the darkness to do whatever they had to do.As my

    XenraAfter a long session of meditation and cultivation that day, I stretched my limbs, my lips spreading into a smile as I felt a great sense of peace within me."The past week in the dungeon has been the best in my life," I said to myself and drew in a deep breath.As I slowly opened my eyes, I could feel a great sense of strength and renewed energy within me."No doubt, I'm back!" I said to myself, my lips curling into a determined smile as I felt the surging powers within me."I didn't need anyone to tell me they were back. "This dark dungeon has been a great help to me. Thanks to the calm and quietness."Aside from the fact that I could feel my vampire spirit within me, I could also feel the emergence of my wolf with great intensity.As a hybrid, I had never felt that part of me before, or maybe I had never really given myself to that side of me.But this dungeon has really helped me in aligning with that side of me, and not just that, but to also master the powers and ways to t

    LenaAs I pondered what Royce had just told me, something dropped in my mind, snapping me off the thoughts that had kept me busy.My head whipped towards him, and in that instant, I asked, "Did you just say 'hidden dungeon?'" My voice was rushed and urgent."Is that nowhere that fat maid?" My brows slightly furrowed as I stared at him."Yes, my lady, that's where she is." Royce firmly replied. Hearing his response made me snort, and I began to slice the beef on my plate again.As I did so, I continued, "You can just tell the men to start experimenting with her by pouring some of the content in her body. After all, she's useless now to everyone." The words had barely left my lips when I continued savouring the beef again, even as I relished the satisfaction of what I had just said.A light chuckle broke out of Royce's lips instead as soon as he heard my words, the sound of which belied the hesitation in his heart."As long as I like the fact that we think alike, my lady, remember when
