Vampire Queen

As 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

    Vampire QueenAs I walked through the hallway leading to Asher's room, his door suddenly swung open, followed by Asher, who burst through it.From the expression on his face, I didn't need anyone to tell me he was angry. He had his hands hanging on his hips as he stood outside, with his head hanging down.He seemed to be so engrossed in whatever had gotten him so angry that he didn't notice my approaching figure until I got close enough."Is everything alright?" I asked with furrowed brows, my voice tinged with concern, or maybe a feigned concern since I had to put on the most believable and genuine facade I could find.Asher's head whipped towards my direction as soon as he heard my words, accompanied by a surprised "Oh!""Yes, yes, I'm fine." He affirmed, fervently nodding his head as his hands dropped from his jaw.But I wasn't convinced, not after the look I had earlier seen on his face. "Are you sure about that? You looked angry," I asserted, my voice calm and steady as I searche

    RoyceAfter a while, Asher returned from seeing the vampire queen off. As soon as he got into his room, he let out a sigh of exasperation.Seeing the slight crease on his forehead, I knew something was bothering him."You look troubled, Alpha; hope all is well?" I asked, my words dripping calmly as I tried to maintain the difference between us. "You won't even imagine the things the vampire queen is asking of me." He answered, his voice tight with shimmering anger."Hope all is well, Alpha?" I asked again, my voice calm and collected.Deep within me, I was trying my best not to make him find reasons to talk down on me anymore. Although I had always hated him, I had to continue with the charade. I was worried I might lose my cool someday if he kept talking down on me.Still, my words, Asher let out a huff and turned towards me, "All is not well," he admitted with his forehead creased slightly."Can you imagine that the vampire queen is asking me to change the name of my maid?!" He sa

    LeoLena's lips curled into a small smile as soon as I stepped into her room. She was sitting in front of her dressing table, her eyes fixed on the mirror as she went about doing what she knew how to do best – making up and looking beautiful."I bet you don't know what's been happening, since you still have the time to primp your face," I teased, my words wrapped in warmth as I drew closer to her.Only then did Lena take her eyes off the mirror, "What's been happening?" She asked, the smile on her face faltering as she stared at me with her eyes glinting in anticipation."I thought as much," My response came casually, as I sank into her comfortable couch."You've been so busy being aesthetic that you missed the news about your mate's visit to his ex," I continued lightly.Lena's lips curled further into a broad smile, "what are you saying?" She asked, "the last time I checked he was in his pack."But from the look on her face, I could tell she wasn't smiling at all, she was more surpr

    AsherAs I got ready for the brand new day, a thought dropped into my heart, and immediately, I made my way to the vampire queen's chamber.I got there to find her about to leave her chambers. "You're early," she said, welcoming me warmly as soon as she saw me.At her words, my lips curled into a small smile. "The sun is smiling down on us, hinting at a beautiful day ahead," I said to her, "or don't you think so, vampire queen?" My gaze fixed on her as I spoke."Certainly, it's definitely going to be a beautiful day." She acknowledged in a matching intensity."How about we go hunting, just like we always do on days like this?" I asked, a small smile playing on my lips.As soon as the words left my lips, the smile on her face froze, and she hesitated, which caught my attention.Although I knew she wasn't expecting my request, it wasn't like the vampire queen to fiddle, especially over a request like that.As far as I knew, she had always been ecstatic about hunting, which was why I had

    Vampire Queen"The rogues are asking for war," Asher responded, "the rogues are saying you should leave their territory, else they're coming to take it by force." His voice heavy with certainty.My heart skipped a beat as soon as I heard his words, and a great sense of fear descended upon me. As if Asher had not said enough, he continued, "...and you know what that means? War!" His voice heavy with certainty as she spoke.His last statement slammed heavily into me, and before I knew it, I exclaimed, "Gracious moon goddess!" I was already too scared to hold back, and the words escaped my lips before I could stop them. Realizing what I had just done, I snapped back to the present to find Asher staring at me, his brows arched in surprise.I responded in a matching intensity, arching my brows in a silent "What?" as I feigned ignorance."Did you just say 'gracious moon goddess?'" he quoted. "You don't even believe in her in the first place." He said.'This bastard must have some nerve!'

    Xenra"How dumb!" I muttered under my breath as soon as I heard her strategy. My jaw clenched, and a great sense of anger coursed through my veins."This idiot wants to destroy all that I had worked so hard for." My grip on the jug tightened as my heart began to pulsate harder.As I approached the table where the elders and the generals sat, I could hear their growing discontentment.The fact that the impersonator had no single idea about what to do in that situation filled me with a great sense of sadness and a mix of anger.My entire clan was being threatened; the lives of my people were at risk, yet she couldn't proffer a solution to it."Even the rogues had noticed that something was amiss." I whispered. "Otherwise they dared not send me a letter."As I pondered on the present reality, I felt my anger brewing hot within me. A great sense of sadness settled in my heart, and I couldn't stop my forehead from creasing in despair.For the first time ever, the Rogues were threatening my

    XenraMy steps were swift as they carried me away from the hall of meeting. My heart, heavy with a mix of hatred and a seething rage.As soon as I got out, I drew in a quick breath to still my fuming heart.Almost immediately, Marcus broke out of the corners, "I now believe you're the real vampire queen, and that lady is an impersonator," he said as soon as he got to where I was. His words are firm and certain."Just give your orders; I'll gather some of my men to get rid of her so that you'd take back your kingdom." He continued. The determination laced in his voice was undeniable as he spoke."Even if you want it tonight, I can assure you that we can get rid of that evil in our palace who wants to ruin our clan." From the expression on his face, I needed no one to tell me how determined he was. At that moment, I knew he could do anything, even though it meant him risking his life for me."Just give the orders, my lady; I can..." He began to say, when I swiftly interrupted him, cut

    Vampire QueenMy pace quickened as I pulled my gaze away from Xenra's poking stare. My heartbeat pulsated faster, and with every step I took, my fear grew.I couldn't just wait to get into my chambers so that I'd pull down the charade of confidence that was beginning to crumble.As soon as the door shut behind me, I ran towards Hannah who was comfortably seated on my couch."I'm not sure I can put up with her anymore, I have to do something," I announced, my voice quivering from a mix of fear and desperation.Hannah's head shot up as soon as she heard my voice, and her brows furrowed in a mix of surprise and confusion, and by the time she was up to her feet, I was already beside her."Zen, what happened? What's going on?" She asked, her words tumbling out in a rush as she stared at me with concern deeply etched on her face."Xenra!" I answered. "I really need to do something." But my voice was devoid of confidence, echoing the fear that had taken hold in my heart.The expression on Ha

    LenaAs I brooded over my wrath, an unexpected voice broke out from behind me, "I'm sorry for what just happened, my lady." The voice calmly apologised.My head whipped towards the person who had just spoken, and my gaze fell on Asher's beta, Royce, who was standing behind me, and my brows furrowed."What are you doing here?" I asked, glaring at him, "What are you sorry for?"But the words had barely left my lips when Royce began to speak, "I saw what happened at the dining hall, and I'm really sorry that the Alpha and his sister had to disrespect you all because of an ordinary maid." Royce boldly responded.His audacity irked me, and I wondered what gave him the nerve to think he had the right to interfere in my business.As I stared at him, I felt my anger boiling within me, and I was determined to put him in his place so that next time, he wouldn't dare speak when he wasn't supposed to."Before I came to this pack, I did some background checks, and I heard about you, Royce," I bega

    LenaI was filled with disgust as I watched that fat maid stand close to Asher, and a great sense of anger surged within me as she served the meal she had prepared for dinner.My fists clenched beneath the table as I stared at her. If only I could sniff her breath off her nostrils, I would have done that already.The fact that I had to see her at every meal made me so angry.Akira and Asher were busy chatting about some random topic, but I was so immersed in my surging wrath and hatred for her to pay attention to what they were discussing."This meal smells good," Akira's compliment finally caught my attention, and I turned towards her to find a wide grin on her face as she spoke to Asher.Asher nodded his head in response, a flicker of excitement in his eyes, which alone was like fuel to the rage swirling inside of me.As if that wasn't enough, he continued, "You need to taste the soup pudding she made the other day." His voice was calm and approving.Asher's words dropped into my he

    LenaMy steps were heavy with determination as they carried me out of Asher's room. Deep within me, I was seething.The fact that Asher wasn't even certain about when he would take me as his mate greatly infuriated me."He's so nonchalant about it and isn't even ready to take me as his mate." I said to myself, my voice heavy with anger.I didn't need anyone to tell me about it; I could see how unprepared he was to do the right thing, and I knew I had to do something."If he continues like this, it'd greatly affect my plans of revenge and that of my brother's as well. I really need to do something about this." I muttered beneath my breath.My fists were clenched tightly beside me in a matching determination as my steps carried me out of the palace.I wanted to seek out a quiet corner where I could pour out my frustration and anger, and so I headed straight to the hall that led out of the palace.As my anger propelled me forward, I recalled how I had caught Asher staring at that fat mai

    AsherAs I stood beside my window that day, peering into the distance, I couldn't take my mind off the soup pudding prepared by Xenra.The taste of it made me nostalgic, and a reminiscence of my past with Xenra, the vampire queen, began to flood my mind.No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't shake the fact that it tasted exactly the same as the ones I'd eaten years ago, so unique and different from that of the chefs in my palace."The only person that had made a soup pudding that way was Xenra." I admitted it.Although Xenra, the vampire queen, never liked cooking, she made soup pudding for me every time I visited her and anytime she came to my pack.As I pondered it, something about the unique flavour and their similar taste got me curious, and my attention shifted to my maid Xenra."Why are they so similar?" I couldn't help but ponder aloud.As my thoughts lingered, I began to compare their personalities, and despite the fact that one was a queen in her palace and the other a

    RoyceSince it was the beginning of a new season; that time of the year again when the maids would be reshuffled to different departments, I got to the open patio where the Alpha was, to prepare a new roster for them.As I went about my business, allocating them to different departments according to their names on the register, the Alpha swiftly interrupted me as soon as I mentioned the name of that fat maid."Put her in charge of my meal," he ordered calmly.My head jerked up as soon as I heard his words, and my brows furrowed in confusion. No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't understand why Xenra should be in charge of Asher's meal when she wasn't even a chef."Why, sir?" My question tumbled out of my lips even before my brain could follow. I was too confused to pay attention to the difference between us.The words had already left my lips before I realised I was being too blunt with the Alpha again."I mean..." I swiftly continued, "There are many qualified chefs in th

    LenaA wave of disgust hit me as soon as I saw that fat maid standing so close to Asher, and a mix of anger and hatred surged within me.As soon as Asher saw me, he stepped away from her, while I stared at Asher, whose face betrayed no emotions."You can serve the soup," Asher instructed her, who quickly turned towards the dining table and began to serve what was inside the dish.As I stood, I caught a final glimpse of Xenra; my anger burnt within me. If only I could just sniff the life out of her nostrils.I pulled my gaze from her and forced a small smile to my face as I stepped into Asher's royal private dining hall."Hope everything is alright?" I asked as calmly as I could, even though deep within me, I was seething."Yes," Asher firmly responded, "why did you ask?" He enquired, staring at me now.But I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head in nonchalance. "Nothing," I replied, "I'm just surprised to see you standing so close to the maid.""Hope there's nothing wrong?" I asked

    XenraMy steps were heavy as they carried me to the royal kitchen, to the private space where Asher and Akira's meal was made.My face was tight with anger as I reached for the door. No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't comprehend why Asher would ask me to make soup pudding for him, even though I didn't work in the kitchen.The fact that I had to make it for him greatly annoyed me, but since I didn't want to get into any trouble with him, I knew I had to do it."Where is the damn pot?" I asked frustratedly, even though there was no other person in the royal kitchen.It seemed Asher had given them orders to vacate the kitchen as well; that was the only reason I could find for why the royal kitchen was empty when the chefs were supposed to be getting ready for dinner.After angrily scanning through the shelves, I saw the stack of pots and swiftly carried one of them.As I placed it in the sink and filled it with water, I began to ponder that absurd task again."But wait, wh

    XenraI swiftly shut my door behind me and rushed towards my bed, where I had hidden the book beneath it.Deep within me, I could feel a surge of energy twirling within me, and I wanted to be certain of what I was feeling inside.What happened in the field had only opened my eyes, and I needed no one to tell me it wasn't a mistake.I had to find answers to what was happening; I wanted to be sure it was my powers coming back to me.I opened the book and started flipping through the pages when the rattle in the door snapped me off from what I was doing.In that instant, I quickly closed it and slid it back under the bed, wondering who it could be at that hour of the day.I knew it couldn't be Zara since we had separated earlier for her to go do her duties.As soon as I opened the door, I was shocked to find Akira standing before me. After about three seconds, I quickly regained my senses and rushed out of the room."My lady," I called with a small bow, "Greetings, my lady!""Greetings,

    AsherI stood beside my window that day, my gaze fixed on the garden beside my room. Although my gaze was fixed on the peach blossoms, my mind had pierced through them and had drifted far away, back to that night.Gradually, my mood was affected again, and a great sense of sadness settled in my heart, as I began to ponder Xenra's attitude towards me ever since then.I didn't need anyone to tell me she had deliberately been avoiding me. The fact that she didn't turn up for her duty all through the previous day only confirmed my initial suspicion, and the fact that I hadn't seen her for days made my veins itch.As my thoughts lingered, I found myself muttering beneath my breath, "But what did I do to her? Why's she really avoiding me?"The realization that I didn't have answers to those questions almost sent me into a well of depression.I was so lost in my thoughts and I didn't notice that Akira had snuck up on me again.
