Asher

My gaze swept across their faces as I searched for any sign of agreement to what I had just said, but they all remained calm.

From the expression on their faces, I could tell they had a different opinion from what I had just said.

The silence stretched on, yet they had their words stuck in their throat, and after about six seconds, Vincent's voice came calmly, "I really think it has nothing to do with luck."

Causing me to sigh in disbelief, yet Vincent wasn't deterred. "I think that lady is really brilliant. We can just try her out; I mean, there's no harm in trying." He shrugged.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elites gathered in the hall nodded their heads in agreement to what he had just said.

Seeing that they all held the same opinion and knowing how risky any further delay was to our pack, I felt a rising sense of urgency to seek a solution as soon as possible.

As I felt the need for an urgent solution, I stretched out my hands in resignation. "Fine!" I said, "Send for

    XenraAs I paced restlessly in my room later that night, I heard a sound at my window.I hurried to my feet as I realised the moment I had been waiting for was upon me.Since I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was, I went straight out of the room and quietly walked over to the other side, where Marcus stood, waiting for me."My lady," He gestured with a slight bow as soon as he saw me, and before I could ask him to be at ease, his voice came again, "I've made the necessary arrangements; they are all as fast as sleep," he said, his words dripping with urgency, causing me to nod my head in response."My lady, you have to be fast about it." His words came again, "We have just two hours. The portion I gave to them, I added just a little quantity to their drinks so that they wouldn't lose their lives." His words bearing the weight of the urgency coursing through him as he spoke."Okay," I answered almost immediately, "thank you, Marcus." Deep within me, I was grateful for his assista

    Vampire QueenMy attention was suddenly pulled towards the approaching chariot, and my curiosity was piqued.I halted in my tracks, and I turned towards the guest I wasn't expecting, yet I couldn't recognise who it was or tell why the person had visited.As I stood there pondering who it could be, one of the standing guards stationed at the gate broke out from the company and rode towards me.As soon as he was close enough, he jumped down from his chariot, maintaining the difference between us, "My lady!" He greeted with his head bowed."Who's that person approaching us?" I asked him, without relieving him of his posture."It's Lady Lena, my lady." The guard replied, his head still hanging low.As soon as I heard his words, my brows twitched, and a great sense of irritation surged within me."What's she doing here?" I asked, my voice heavy with hatred, but the guards did not have the answer to my question.Immediately, I turned and walked towards the entrance of my palace, and by the

    Vampire QueenAs I walked towards Asher, my lips parted into a warm smile. "Someone is here to see you," I said to him without breaking my stride while he nodded his head in response.Deep within me, my heart was swirling in satisfaction.Just before I could take the bend that leads to my garden, I turned back to take a final glimpse of Lena's expression. Behold, she was still wearing her shocked look, and she seemed lost in a daze as she stared at me. The sight of her like that made my lips curl even further.As soon as I was out of sight, I sashayed straight into the garden, where Hannah was already seated on the hanging egg chair, waiting for me, and I quickly settled into the one next to her."What is Lena doing here?" Hannah's voice dripped with urgency as she searched my calm face.But then, I picked up the glass of apple juice on my side table and took a sip. I twirled the liquid for a few seconds before swallowing it, relishing the sweetness and freshness of the juice.I dr

    Asher"So, what are you doing in your ex's pack?" Lena's voice sliced through the silence that had descended upon us as we stepped into my chambers."You didn't even inform me you were coming to your ex's pack." She pointed out quite unexpectedly.I couldn't help the scoff and low chuckle that rumbled out of my throat as her words settled into my heart."Well," I replied after about three seconds of an inaudible laugh, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to inform you before taking any decision." My words wrapped with sarcasm as I chuckled still.But my words only seemed to annoy her as she began to speak as soon as the words left my lips. "We're mates, and soon to be joined together," she stated firmly, her voice laced with disapproval."I think I have the right to know about your movements, especially when it involves your ex." Her voice was firm and steady as she spoke with no atom of a smile on her face, but her words were stirring something else within me.I mentally scoffe

    LenaAs soon as I got out of Asher's chamber, I saw the vampire queen, who clearly wasn't aware of my coming, struggling to regain her composure.From the swift withdrawal of her hands, I could tell she was leaning on the edge of the wall.My lips curled into a broad smirk, and a scoff of amusement escaped my lips, even as she feigned ignorance of what had just happened.Slowly, I closed up the distance between us. "Is this how you've become so unbelievably low?" I scoffed, my words laced with mockery as I stared into her eyes.As soon as she heard my words, she straightened her spine and stood uprightly. "I don't understand." The vampire queen replied with a calm and firm voice, then she scoffed."Oh, I can see you have a poor memory. Well, just in case you've forgotten, this is my pack, and I can do whatever I want in it," she continued, her words laced with confidence as she spoke.Her words caused a low chuckle to rumble out of my lips, and before I could utter a word, she began t

    Asher"You're yet to tell me what brought you to my pack." The vampire queen told me, as we stepped into her closed patio.My gaze wandered towards the pots of aloe veras and peace lilies, which stood beside the screens that enclosed the space, adding a touch of serenity to the already quiet atmosphere.Since it was day, the lights were put off, allowing the rays from the sunlight to bathe the room with warmth.As I took in the sight of the blooming peace lilies, the vampire queen spoke again."Could it be that you've accepted the deal?" she asked, walking towards one of the single couches that stood in the middle, where she settled in, crossing her legs with her gaze fixed on me.The fact that she had thought I would accept such a deal made a low guttural chuckle escape my throat. As it trailed off, I walked towards the couch beside her and settled into it, taking the time to collect myself for the conversation I wasn't really yet ready for.But it seemed I didn't have a choice but

    Vampire QueenI sprang up to my feet as soon as I heard Lena's words. My heart racing at the thought of what it was, I scurried towards Asher, who was pressing hard against his trembling hand."Asher, are you okay?" My words tumbled out in a desperate rush as soon as I stood beside him, my words heavy with the worry that had settled in my heart."Yes, I'm okay," he answered again.But this time around the initial smile I had seen on his face had given way to a more frustrated look and a little flicker of anger.As I stared at him, his voice came again, "You people should stop giving me that pity look as if I'm dying; I'm not dying." Although he tried to keep his cool, I could hear the anger laced in his voice, the pain intertwined in every word he spoke. His brows were deeply furrowed as beads of sweat began to form on his creased forehead.Deep within me, I knew he was only doing his best to suppress whatever he was feeling, and right there, it dawned on me that he hated the fact t

    XenraSilence and calmness followed. Their gazes remained fixed on Asher, who had gone still, like a corpse.From the expression on their faces, I could tell their minds were far from being at peace.Lena, who had never witnessed his episode, had her brows scrunched up as she peered into his face with curiosity. Meanwhile, the impersonator's eyes glinted with fear as they both stared at Asher.After about fifteen seconds of staring at him, someone finally tore the thick blanket of silence that had settled upon us."Are you sure he's okay?" It was Lena who asked without pulling her gaze from Asher, and almost immediately, she continued,"He doesn't look like he's okay; he looks sick." Her words tumbled out in a rush as they echoed the fear that had settled in her heart.As if her voice was the signal the impersonator needed, she took over. "Wait a second, why are his eyes still like that?" she asked, Her words dripped with frantic concern as she leaned in further towards him, without

    AsherMy heart was filled with warmth as I stared at Xenra's tear-stained face, the pain and weakness that had overwhelmed me gradually seeping off my shoulders.Xenra's words had given me another chance to live, a reason to hold onto life, and I had decided to grab it.Deep within me, I was beginning to feel strength spring up within me, and I knew her prayer had something to do with it.Xenra looked stunned to find me staring at her; on her face was etched a mix of emotions—surprise, excitement, and disbelief—all glinted in her eyes.Her lips parted as she stared at me, but she couldn't utter a word; the surprise she had felt had left her utterly speechless.Seconds stretched on, and none of us tore our gaze away from each other. At that moment, all I felt was peace and truth, a sincerity that couldn't be denied.There was no other word to be said; I had seen and heard it all myself.As we stared at each other, the thudding sounds of boots running towards us made our heads whip towa

    XenraMy heart banged faster as I stared at Asher, who was lying down almost motionless. The sight of him looking so weak and frail made my heart jump so hard from fright."Asher!""Asher!" His name tumbled out of my lips as desperation swelled within me. I was in an urgent need to get to him; I tried to drag myself towards him, but I couldn't even move an inch.The transfer I made to save his life had left me feeling like a sack of bones.Chills and goosebumps wrapped around me as I watched him groan in pain. Fear and desperation firmly clung onto me at the thought of him dying.My heart was torn apart, and I couldn't bear to watch his life slip away from him."Asher," I called with every strength I could muster this time around. But my voice was barely above a whisper, rough and harsh.Asher's eyes flickered open, but he couldn't even keep them open. He was so weak and almost lifeless; he couldn't even move an inch."Asher!" I called a little louder again, my voice filled with despe

    Asher"Bastard! You bastard!" Leo growled, his voice heavy with a seething rage as he glared at Xenra."You dare lay your filthy hands on my father, and you have the guts to say it to my face?" He continued, disbelieving, ringing in his tone as his eyes glinted with wrath.The veins on his face became more visible as he seethed, and at that moment I felt my strength seeping off my shoulders.My knees couldn't hold me up anymore, and I staggered backward; my steps took Xenra unaware, and despite her efforts to hold me back, I fell to my knees."Asher, Asher, Are you okay?" Xenra asked, her words rushed and urgent as she stared at me, desperation glinting in her eyes.From the look on her face, I could tell she really wasn't waiting for my response. She had gotten the answer herself and had only asked because she was scared. I could see it in her eyes. An unfamiliar look I had never seen before, even when she pretended to be an ordinary maid, even when she went through the harsh punishm

    Xenra."You bastard!" Lenhandro cursed, staggering backward, his eyes wide open in shock. The disbelief and pain written all over his face were palpable.He winced and gasped for breath, desperately trying to cling to life as it began to slip away from him, but there was nothing he could do while I watched in anticipation as he struggled all he could, until he finally collapsed with a heavy thud.The veins on his face and neck were now visible, and his laboured breathing was now very audible. He bared his teeth, unmistakable wishes in his eyes as he glared at me, but all he could do was curse.The sight of him struggling to hold onto life made me chuckle, the sound of which echoed the mockery and contentment in my heart.Lenhandro's eyes fluttered as he tried to stay awake, but then, even he seemed to have realised he wouldn't be able to stop what was coming.As it dawned on him that he couldn't do anything to stop his inevitable demise, he growled again, "You bastard!"

    XenraMy lips spread into a small smile as I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy. "Really?" I asked him. "You want us to join hands together?"My words were wrapped with surprise as I spoke, staring at him in a feigned excitement."Of course, my love," Lenhandro swiftly replied, determination ringing in his tone."We can join hands together, and you'd see just how we can take over the world. The world is large enough for both of us to rule." He added, conviction echoing in his voice as he gestured.He halted in his tracks, and I saw him swallow hard. "Look, Xenra, I'm not ready to fight with you; I would never do that again," he said. "I'm ready to go with your terms."His furrowed brows were supposed to convey his sincerity, but I could see right through him, and I knew it was a mask over his evil ambition.As if he hadn't said enough, he continued, "I'm really sorry about what happened; believe me, I really regretted it," he said, "I've really missed you so much, my lo

    XenraMy steps were heavy with determination as I rushed through the hallway with just one intent in mind—to get to Lenhandro.The hallway was packed with maids and male servants, who were hastily running in all directions, speaking for safety, while Leo's and Lenhandro's soldiers chased them, slashing them with their swords.Cries of anguish and fear echoed in the whole of the palace, but the soldiers didn't spare them.Inside the hall, Asher's soldiers were already fighting against the invaders, clashing against them, and they tried to secure their home.Seeing the maids and the old servants being slaughtered greatly enraged me, and I marched towards them.Since Lenhandro's soldiers had come from the main entrance, I knew if I could break through the approaching guards, I'd get to the bastard who betrayed me.As I brooded over my wrath, a soldier fell beside me, and his spear slipped from his grasp. Without waiting for another second, I swiftly picked it up, and with that same inten

    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
