Vampire Queen

My 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

    Xenra.The impersonator's head whipped towards Lena, who had just spoken, and her lips curled upwards.Amusement glinted in her eyes, while I maintained a barely noticeable smirk.Only then did Lena recall herself. "Well, I don't mean it that way," she began to speak, her words slurring slightly as she struggled to articulate her response."I meant, if his seizure starts at night, what would I do?" She asked with a small gesture, after which she began to regain her confidence, as though she had found an excuse to strongly hold onto."Indeed, what you're saying is not wrong, but I'm not in the right position to stay with him," she continued, her words firmer this time around. "Maybe the vampire queen can stay with him. But don't worry; I won't be far away; I'll be close by, checking occasionally to make sure that nothing is wrong with him." She assured with a firm voice.As her words settled into my heart, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. 'Asher really got himself a darling mate this

    XenraThe day slowly wore into the night; palpable silence hovered around everyone present in the cosy space of Asher's bedroom.On the spacious king-sized bed lay Asher, looking like a wilted vegetable beneath the white blanket, his face pale enough to seem almost luminous.Every eye was fixed on him as he shivered and shook uncontrollably; the steady rhythm of his tremors resonated through the blanket covering him, and I wondered, 'How are the mighty fallen!'"Akira!""Akira!"His voice, like a breaking hum, quivered, echoing his tremors.Just then, Royce, whose gaze had never wavered from him, asked in a cold, stern voice, "What's wrong?" Breaking the tense silence that had settled over us."He's calling the name of the person he loves so much," I answered, my voice almost unrecognisable as it seemed to resonate with his frail and weak state."Lady Akira is the person he loves so much; that's why he's calling her name," I added calmly.As if my words were the trigger the Beta neede

    Royce"Just wait and see what I'm about to do." I answered, my voice firm and steady, echoing the firm determination that had completely overwhelmed me.Without waiting for another second, I turned towards one of the guards, who was standing at his post some steps away from us, and called, "Number four!" My voice, bouncing off the space.In that instant, number four turned, and with a matching intensity, he ran towards me. He halted at a considerable distance and bowed his head. "Yes, my Lord," he answered."Go get me the Chief Slave Officer!" I ordered with a firm voice."Yes, my Lord," he answered, took another bow, and with the same haste he arrived with, he ran out of my sight."What are you really planning to do?" Sylvester's question broke into the fog of determination that had surrounded me, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and curiosity."I'm going to do what I ought to have done all this while," I answered, my jaw clenched, a reflection of the fierce determination burn

    Royce."Still thinking about it?" Sylvester's voice sliced into the thoughts that had gotten me busy, snapping me back to the present.I turned to find him standing behind me, and from the expression on his face, I could tell he was satisfied with how I had handled the situation.I pulled my gaze from him and said, "I'm suspicious of that lady." My voice mirrored the certainty in my heart."Which lady?" Sylvester swiftly asked, his voice as surprised as the expression on his face.But it was clear he wasn't really asking because he didn't know who I was talking about, as he continued almost immediately, "You mean Xenra?" Disbelief coating his tone.I totally ignored his disbelief. Deep within me, I was certain about what I said; I knew there was something more about her, even though I just couldn't wrap my fingers around it."There's something about her," I continued in a firm voice, "Although I just can't place it, I can tell she's not ordinary. She's more than what we've seen." I vo

As I fixed my gaze on him, he tilted his head from side to side and back, and I understood that he was asking for an audience.Before I could get to my feet, he began to walk away, while I stood up and followed him to a secluded corner."What are you trying to do?" He asked me as soon as I stood beside him. Without waiting for my response, he continued, "Are you planning on telling the Alpha about it?"

Zara's voice broke into the fog of excitement that had surrounded me, her words laced with curiosity.Without waiting for another second, I turned towards the path, determined to rush back to the room and check the book that had unsealed that power.I wanted to begin my search for answers and investigation on what to do as soon as possible.I had only taken two steps from where I stood when I saw three elite wolves walking towards me, which halted me in my tracks.The smile on my face froze immediately, and just then I realized that every single person present in the field was staring at me.As my gaze darted to their faces, I saw the fear in their eyes. Some of them even had their jaws dropped and eyes wide open.They seemed not to have recovered from the shock they had felt.My gaze fell on the hefty guard who was still struggling to get up from where he had landed, but as soon a

    XenraIsabella came to a halt before me, her girls clustering behind her, while Zara drew closer to me.Then a short, empty laugh escaped her throat, after which she began to speak."So you think you can escape my hook after embarrassing me the last time, huh?" She said, her voice dripping with mockery.She had a smirk on her face as she stared at me with a mix of excitement and determination glinting in her eyes.Without waiting for me to say something, she pressed on, "I've been waiting for you, and now I've seen the perfect time to deal with you." Her words tumbled out in a rush."I'm so going to make your life miserable so that when you see me next time, you'd be afraid of me." She glared at me, her words heavy with hatred as she spoke.From where I stood, I could hear Zara's ragged breathing and the fear flickering in her eyes, and I understood she was scared—scared of them, scared of what they had planned to do to us.But there was no iota of fear in me, nor did I flinch at all

I muttered to myself, my voice breathy as I dwelled on how I had almost embarrassed myself.As I walked towards my bed, Hannah swiftly jumped down from the bed and rushed towards me. "Goodness," she exclaimed. "That guy is really cute." Her voice bubbling with cheerfulness as she closed up the distance between us, the excited glint in her eyes was unmistakable.It was her words that snapped me out of the thoughts that had kept me busy, and I couldn't help but join in her infectious excitement."Yeah!" I answered, nodding my head in agreement to what she had just said."I have to admit, Hannah, Xenra really has an eye for cute things," I admitted with a matching intensity. "Even Asher is so cute and enchanting.""The vampire queen really enjoyed herself because these guys are so hot," I giggled

    LenhandroMy heart was greatly uneasy as I journeyed from my pack to Maltos' Castle. Although I hadn't lost my confidence, I couldn't help thinking about the possible probabilities.Among all the questions swirling within me, one thought was deeply seated in my heart: what would Xenra's reaction be?The more I tried to figure it out, and the more I tried to reconcile Xenra's character to her possible reaction, the more I felt greatly disturbed.I was faced with an insurmountable mountain, not sure of what lay ahead of me, but one thing I was sure about was the fact that I was going to end her life again."You were lucky the first time, Xenra, but you won't be lucky this time around!" I muttered beneath my breath, my lips curling upwards with a fierce determination.After a while, I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy and turned towards my brother, Randy, and personal assistant, Jerome, who were both on the horses beside my chariot."When we get to Maltos' Castle," I bega

    LenhandroMy hands were folded behind me as I stared at the throne where I had once occupied. After a very long time, I was back to my pack, and as I fixed my gaze upon it, I felt a renewed sense of energy coursing through my veins.The emerging figure of Jerome walking towards his post caught my attention, but he wasn't the gallant, ever-ready Jerome I had always known.He was reduced to a mere shadow of himself, trembling all over like a weakling, with his fingers held beneath his stomach. He couldn't even meet my gaze.After a while of staring at him, I tore my gaze away from him and fixed it back on my golden throne, with its soft white cushion and lion-head armchair.As I pondered my next course of action, my brother Randy's voice rang out from behind me, "Brother!" He called, his voice ringing with excitement.As the soft thud on the wooden floor drew closer, I turned towards him, a broad smile clearly plastered on his face."I've missed you so much, brother!"
