Mysterious Mate Chapter 13
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 14
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 15
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 16
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 17
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 18
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
Mysterious Mate Chapter 19
XenraAs I dwelled on what I had just heard, I felt my blood begin to boil, even as my heart began to pulsate faster with a restrained fury, but then I knew I had to keep my anger in check not to give myself away."So tell me, what are the evil things you heard about her?" I asked as calmly as I could, forcing a smile to my face."Her?" She snorted, "Don't tell me you haven't heard about her," she said, her words dripping with disbelief.At that moment, I began to ponder what would make Zara respond that way, but since I wanted to get as much as I could, I shook my head in response, feigning a complete innocence.As soon as she saw my response, she took quick, short steps towards me, her eyes glinting with a sudden urgency that got me both confused and surprised.As if she were being careful not to be heard, she began, "I heard she's evil." Her words slammed into me, stirring something within me—anger. The anger I had managed to suppress earlier,I wanted to tell her to shut the hole
Mysterious Mate Chapter 20
Xenra I was led by the head guard to Akira's palace. As soon as I got into her palace, I couldn't stop admiring the beautiful scenery, the large garden with a lot of lighting and poles, the spring in the middle of the compound, and the luxurious building. I was wowed by such high-level development. It was clear that Asher was taking good care of her. I had witnessed his care and love for her after the death of their parents, and I could tell that it didn't reduce a bit. Even though Asher was cold-blooded, I needed no one to tell me that he had a soft spot for his sister. The guard led me into a hall that was both large and beautiful. The walls were decorated with different portraits of her and her lovely brother, along with the portraits of their late parents. There were other artistic pictures of different scenery hanging up on the other side of the wall. A large chandelier hung down the high ceiling, with a fireplace at the other end of the wall. As I withdrew m

Asher Right in the dining room with my sister Akira, the table was filled with a spread of dishes. As I settled on the chair with Akira, ready for dinner, her voice broke into the thoughts that had gotten me busy. "Why are you looking so excited this evening? Is there any good news?" She asked, her eyes flicking from my face to her plate. My lips curled upwards as her words settled in my heart: "Yes, there's good news." I responded with a matching intensity, and I felt her gaze on me. But before she could ask another question, I swiftly added, "I'm expecting someone special," I said at the same time gesturing towards Akira's fat maid to serve the appetisers. Almost immediately, she began serving the meatballs, and when she was done, she stepped backwards, standing beside Akira at a considerable distance. "Hm!" Akira's voice dropped with surprise. "The last time I heard a thing like that was how many years ago..." Akira trailed off and tapped her fingers on the table

Royce"You should still be careful, Royce; apart from Asher, you also have the pack to worry about." My mother's words broke into my thoughts, snapping me back to the present. I turned towards her, my brows furrowing as I began to wonder what she meant by that, and before I could say a word, her voice came again. "The pack might not support you," she said calmly.Her words had hit on my fraying nerves even as the weight of their betrayal settled on my shoulders, but my mother wasn't done speaking."Every one of them believes that your father was evil and sentimental for trying to overthrow his brother," she said, her voice edged with worry. Her eyes glinting with concern.Her words ignited the anger that had been swirling within me, and my hands shot out with a fierce intensity, pointing towards the palace again."Evil?" I asked, my lips and chins quivering with restrained fury, "Then they are all dumb for thinking that way. Maybe they were bribed by Asher's evil father, which was wh
Mysterious Mate Chapter 34
RoyceWith a fierce determination, I left Asher's office that evening. Spending the whole day with him wasn't just torturing but degrading as well, yet I had to put up with his insults and humiliation. "You're back already." My mother's voice broke into my head as I stepped into the living room that evening. I turned towards the kitchen where she had emerged from to find her staring at me with a warm smile on her face. Finally, I could rip off the mask I had been wearing for a whole day and be myself. I could be who I was without having to pretend to be so submissive and address him with the honorifics he never deserved. "Mother, how long am I going to put up with this nonsense?" I asked my voice a rough growl that echoed the anger brewing inside of me as I allowed the words to flow from my heart. I had been keeping it in all through the day, but being right in my own space, I had no reason to do that anymore. "Royce, what is going on?" My mother asked, her brows furrow
Mysterious Mate Chapter 33
XenraUpon hearing her words, my curled-up lips gradually spread into a wide, empty smile, and I slowly nodded my head twice."Of course!" I exclaimed with my eyes popping open in a feigned excitement, "I'm your friend." My smile grew as I attempted to make it as real as possible.At my words, she reciprocated my gesture, grinning widely this time around. I could tell she was so excited about it, but if only she knew who I was, she'd have understood why I couldn't be friends with her.Although I wasn't a proud person, how could I, Xenra—the most dreaded, respected, and beautiful vampire queen—be friends with a lowly Omega—a lowly slave at that?I snorted at the absurdity of it. 'I could be in a lowly, despicable skin, but that doesn't mean I had forgotten who I was and am, and for someone like Zara, ewww! That's not possible,' I affirmed within me.Although I treat everyone right, that is the least I wanted for myself."When I was coming, I heard the maids talking about the fat, proud
Mysterious Mate Chapter 32
XenraMy heart skipped a beat as those words met my ears. I was shocked to find Zara standing by the door with her hands folded in front of her, and before she could say another word to me, I asked her, "How long have you been standing there?" My words tumbled out in a rush as I stared at her with my eyes wide open. I couldn't afford to be heard, not when I had spoken about my days as the vampire queen."Well, not so long," she answered calmly with a small shoulder shrug, "but long enough to know that you've been crying and talking to the moon goddess," she added, and as soon as I heard her words, my heart began to race as a great pang of uneasiness dropped in my heart. 'Does it mean she just heard everything I said?' I reasoned within me, causing my eyes to bulge as I rolled them in thought.No, that wouldn't do. After about five seconds, I snapped out of the thoughts that had gotten me busy: "Did you hear what I was telling the moon goddess?" My question tumbled out in a rush, bea
Mysterious Mate Chapter 31
XenraFinally, after a busy day, my first day as a maid to Akira came to an end. I followed the rest of the maids to the room allocated to us. While the rest of them remained outside, I went straight to the room assigned to me.I screwed my eyes and puffed out a long breath as I realised it was finally rest time.As I opened my eyes, the sight of the room allocated to me left my mouth open."What is this?" I asked no one exactly as my eyes travelled around the worst room I had ever seen in my life—or maybe one I had never imagined existed.The tiny room held two tiny beds that consumed half of the space. The walls stood bare with cracks and holes in them, a testament to the decades of its existence.I lifted my eyes to the ceiling to find larger cracks and holes, and my jaw dropped further. Right then, it dawned on me that places like that did exist.The only white curtain in the room that hung down the window had worn out as well, and I began to wonder how a place like that still exi

Asher "Alpha, what do you think?" Royce's voice broke into my thoughts. Despite the perceived audacity, the fact that he was now stuttering calmed me down. Besides, I needed to consider his words to ascertain for myself what was true about the news. "It's not true," I answered after about ten seconds had passed. "It's a rumour," I added, my gaze fixed intently in space as lines began to connect in my head. Royce's brows furrowed upon hearing my words, his confusion evident on his face. I knew he was confused about why I was so certain about it being not true. Maybe he had forgotten she was my ex, and if anyone should know much about her, that should be me. All through the years, we were together, I got to know about who she was, her schemes and preferences, and I've learnt to see beneath the seeming cloud of clarity, beneath which lay deceit and lies. Although Royce couldn't get himself to say another word, I could see the struggle written all over him. I could fe

AsherAs I walked straight to my office that day, my sister's words kept popping up in my head. My steps quickened as I made haste to get myself busy with the task piled up for that day, a subtle distraction from the words that wouldn't let me be.I had just settled in my armchair and was about to get busy when the knock on the door came. I needed no one to tell me who it was."Enter," I answered, and almost immediately, the door opened, revealing Royce, who had come to discuss the outcome of his scouting of the borders."Greetings, Alpha," Royce said with a light bow. Without waiting for another word, he settled in the armchair opposite me in a relaxed and comfortable manner, causing my brows to furrow and twitch, and before I could react to the perceived disrespect, his words came again."You wouldn't believe what I just heard, Alpha," he began, his tone dripping with enticement, but then I needed to address something.Royce seemed to have forgotten his boundaries again. As my Beta,

Xenra "Keep your mouth shut!" One of them yelled in response as they enclosed me in a circle. "What? Are you scared now,huh? Weren't you so proud and haughty? Have you suddenly thrown away your ability?" The second in command said, her tone dripping with mockery as she stared at me with her brows raised quizzically. If only they knew I was considering them, "Who do you think you are? You must think you're one mighty one that should be respected or reverenced. You're just new here, and you're already creating enemies for yourself." One of them quickly added, "Did you really think we would let you go after you did that to Isabella?" One of them asked, As soon as I heard their words, I couldn't stop myself from laughing—a loud, rich chuckle that bore the weight in my heart. No, I wasn't amused a bit; it was only a warning for them to back off. There was only much insult I could accept, and they were clearly hitting on my fraying wrath. "I don't want trouble," I an
