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.
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
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
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
Behind the walls of the ancient Maltos Castle, a unique scent of roses and blood coated the air. The room could be described as a black paradise, with black painted walls and thick striped curtains. A huge four-poster bed lay in the middle, the black curtain sheets stretched, wrinkled by the entangled bodies hidden beneath them. The ethereal beauty sprawled on the bed, with the arms of her lover, wrapped around her delicate body. “You smell nice,” he whispered lazily. Her eyes flickered open with a low hum. From the stunning glow in the scarlet eyes, one could tell she was still immersed in the afterglow of sex.“I always smell nice.” The deep rumble from his chest made her look up. The laughter of her lover always found a way to make her heart tingle. “You have always been so cocky, my Queen and I must confess it suits you,” he flicked her nose. The Vampire Queen giggled, adjusting the sheets to hide her body. Lenhandro held down the sheets. He loved the way her pale flawless
XenraThis is insane! How can this be happening to me? I begged her to let me be reborn to take my revenge. Shouldn't she have gotten the hint that I wanted to be reborn as a vampire Queen, not whatever the hell this was?Apparently, the woman thought this was funny. She made a cruel joke out of my situation!Releasing a sigh, I accepted my fate based on compulsion. I asked for a second chance at life and I got one. The best thing to do was utilize it.Returning my gaze to the mirror, a set of scarlet orbs stared back at me. Although strange, it was somehow relieving she let me retain my terrifying eye colour. It would traumatize me if I wind up with those random blue eyes. Squishing the chubby cheeks for mental approval, a grin broke out of my face. It felt so warm. So alive. I touched my chest and just as I suspected, I heard the gentle beats of the human heart. Unlike my cold, silent, heart.“What can I say? Thank you, Moon Goddess,” I winked charmingly, secretly hoping my goo
XenraI rubbed my feet against each other, struggling to get the stupid chains off but it seemed I was only entertaining the crowd. I tried reaching for it but it only wore me out. Sweating in between ragged breaths, I gave up trying. My body was weak and begging for relief. So I hung there, helplessly as my captors approached me with grinning faces. The greed in their eyes warned me that I had a lot coming my way if they successfully captured me. “Quite lively for an omega, aren't you?” One of the slavers snorted, reaching for my face. My expression went stoic as my eyes darkened ruthlessly. I tilted my head, sinking my teeth into his hands before fisting him in the balls and shoving him. He hit the ground, groaning in pain as the others burst into laughter. "Quite a feisty one I must admit. She has a fire and quite a temper. This might just be our best one yet,” another chuckled, stepping from behind. I tried to spin around. Give him a piece of my mind but something pierced i
XenraIt seemed like the effect of the drug was fading so I was awfully aware of everything going on around me. In detail this time. Asher's once shimmering grey eyes were ice cold now, sweeping through each slaver with an intensity that made them shiver. It seemed most of them recognized him. This ruthless werewolf leader made even the mighty crumble before him. Whether it was the powerful aura he exuded or the strength built in those muscles, whichever it was it compelled a submission that required more than willpower to resist.Considering how many times he had me begging, squirming in his bed.I couldn't help but wonder if he still hated me now. Our relationship didn't exactly end on good terms. Did he still think of me?The slavers began to slowly retreat in panic. They knew what this man was capable of and how many packs he reduced to dust. “We don't mean trouble, Alpha. We are only chasing a runaway slave,” as if to back their claim, they raised my hand to reveal that slave

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."
RoyceI snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy to find Sylvester's eyes sparkling in excitement.Since I wasn't interested in taking part in that conversation, I totally ignored him."Somehow, I just feel the fat maid is kind of unique since she was the only one who was able to help him even though she's new in our pack." He added, his words laced with certainty.Somehow he had managed to link it up to that annoying fat maid again, but his praises and admiration for her had only fuelled my resentment towards her.No matter how much he tried to portray her in a good light, all I felt towards her was hatred and anger. Right then, I realised she could stand in my way since she was able to resuscitate the dying Alpha."She's in no way unique," I finally voiced out the thoughts that had kept me busy, causing Sylvester's head to whip towards me, as though he had been pondering something.But before he could say a word, I added, "In fact, she's a threat to me. I see her as someone
RoyceMy fists clenched beside me as I watched the Alpha gradually regain his breath pace. Deep within me, I was seething; my teeth were gritted as I stared furiously at him.I wanted to kick and hit hard against the wall at his narrow escape from death's grip, but since I wasn't alone, I knew I had to keep my anger in."The Alpha needs to get some rest." It was the annoying fat Omega's voice that pierced through the fog of anger that had settled in my heart.If it were before, she would have been the one to excuse us, while I stayed watch over the Alpha, but at that moment, I saw it as an opportunity to slip out of his presence and let my anger out.'After all, who cares if anything happens to him while I'm away? It'd be an opportunity to get rid of two birds with one lucky opportunity.' I pondered within myself.With a small bow of my head towards the feeble Alpha whose face was beginning to bubble up with life again, I made my way out of his sight, my steps heavy with determination
XenraSince it was still early, I made my way into Maltos' palace in an attempt to get as much information as I could.I needed to get into my secret chambers before the guards assumed their various posts. I knew I had to do it discretely and not attract any attention to myself.As I casually walked towards the hallway that led to my secret library, I was deeply engrossed in the thoughts of conveying the secret book to the room given to me when I saw maids and guards running helter skelter in and out of the chamber that used to be mine.My curiosity piqued, and I swiftly walked towards one of the guards."Excuse me," I called his attention, which halted him in his tracks. "What is going on?" I asked the guard, who was already panting really hard."It's the Alpha; he's having his seizure, and nobody can help," his words tumbled out in one breath."The vampire queen can't help as well; he's..." He was still trying to catch his breath when I dashed into the room.I didn't need him to com
