Xenra"Xenra!" The unmistakable, shrill voice of Zara sliced through the quietness hanging over the path leading to the maid's quarters.I turned towards the direction where the voice had come to find Zara running towards me with her arms outstretched, ready for a hug.Before I could say a word, she threw herself at me, wrapping her hands tightly around me, giggling and bouncing with excitement."It's so nice to have you back!" She exclaimed, almost screaming, her words trembling with happiness.She held onto me for a while, and by the time she parted, her lips were broadly spread apart."So tell me, tell me, tell me everything that happened during your stay in the vampire queen's kingdom," she begged, her words tumbling out in a rush, her eyes wide with excitement.But all I could do was to giggle, indulging in her warmth and excitement.As we began to walk towards our room, she held my hands. "Xenra, I'm so happy you're back with every member of your being. You don't know how worrie
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!" Randy exclaimed, h
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
Vampire QueenI puffed out a deep breath as soon as I closed the door behind me, and then I sighed in relief as the weight of fear gradually lifted off my shoulders."That was close, so close!" 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
Xenra Another day had come, yet I couldn't shake off the frustration that weighed heavily on me. Just like old days, it was time to resume my duty of serving and accompany Asher and Akira, but then, I just couldn't get myself to face Asher. As we stood in line, waiting for the task to be allocated to us, I deliberately decided to join them in the fieldwork, even though I had never followed them to the field. "Are you sure about that?" Zara asked me, happy about the fact that I would be accompanying her to the field, but I could only muster a small smile in response to her excitement. As we walked to the field, accompanied by the other maids assigned to work there, Zara didn't stop talking about how happy she was to have me with her. "With you working beside me, I'm sure I won't find the work too tiring," She giggled, her voice piercing through the fog of sadness that had deeply etched itself in my heart, while I listened to her without saying a word to her. But Zara wasn'
Xenra Isabella 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
Xenra "What worked?" 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 as he met my gaze, he swiftly stood up and ran away as if my gaze had
RoyceThe gazes of everyone were heavy on me, waiting for the verdict that would convict her of the accusation.Deep within me, I felt it was a perfect opportunity to remove the perceived threat to my path of revenge, and I knew I shouldn't let it slip through my fingers.I was still pondering how to go about it, when Sylvester's facial gesture caught my attention. 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?" His voice was tinged with a mix of surprise and curiosity."Of course!" I swiftly replied, my voice firm and steady, echoing the firm determination that had settled in my heart.As far as I knew, I shouldn't miss the opportun
Epilogue.XenraFollowing the defeat of the most powerful male vampire – Lenhandro – and one of the strongest Alphas – Leo, Asher rose as the strongest Alpha in the whole of the packs, solidifying his reign as supreme above them all.As a result, every other clan and pack took it upon themselves to pay homage to him as the supreme Alpha.One month had passed already, and every pack had enjoyed a season of peace and tranquillity, from the smallest to the largest packs. None of them saw themselves as supreme over another, but submitted to Asher, who in turn ensured that they were catered to.But his jurisdiction didn't rest only with the werewolves; even the vampire kingdoms as well had accepted his rule, for fear of his retaliation over Lenhandro's invasion.As a result, one month had passed already, yet the tranquillity that had spread all over the whole packs had never wavered a bit.Asher's victory had ushered in a season of peace and stability which extended to all territories.As
XenraA great sense of peace flooded me as soon as I heard their words. I had been worried that they might not appreciate what I had done for them since I was an Omega, even though I had been transformed into my own skin.They couldn't even recognise me, which was understandable, as not many people saw me when I was still the vampire queen, and even when I was in that fat Cecilia's body, I didn't come in contact with the elders or pack members; little wonder they were all oblivious to the transformation of my body.As I stared at them, I didn't need any to tell me that they meant what they had just said, and as if they hadn't said enough, he continued,"We've accepted you as our Luna; we don't care about the rumours flying around about whether you're an Omega or not. You've saved us all and have proven to us how deserving you are to be our Luna, and we're all ready to acknowledge you as our Luna." The man's words tumbled out in a fierce rush as he spoke.The expression on his face was
XenraStill unable to utter a word, I quickly bent my left shoulder and, at the same time, turned towards it to check for the scar that made me an Omega.As soon as I saw it, my lips gradually joined together, and the smile on my face gradually spread into a broad, peaceful smile.At that moment all I felt was peace. My gaze was still fixed on it when I began to speak. "It seems the moon goddess didn't completely give me back my body." I told him with a small voice."Don't feel bad about it," Asher began to say, brushing off a stray strand of hair from my face, his eyes glinting with excitement as they bore into mine.His words made the smile on my face stretch further, and I couldn't help but chuckle softly. "I'm not feeling bad about it," I replied calmly."What really matters to me right now is that I'm happy. Being the vampire queen came with a lot of stress, and I'm sure you can relate to it. It wasn't easy bearing the burden of the pack on my shoulders and looking out for them a
Xenra"Don't get me wrong," Asher swiftly said as soon as the words left my lips. "I perfectly love you the way you are. Just that it'll be unlawful for you to continue this way." A light furrow appeared on his face as he spoke."As long as that impersonator is still alive, people will always mistake her for you," He continued calmly. "You know how she's been tarnishing your image, and she won't stop because she doesn't really care at all, but nobody knows that, they will always think you're the one doing those things,""So I'll want you to have your body back and reclaim your image."Asher's words tumbled out in a rush as he spoke, filled with emotions. His voice oozed the depth of his sincerity as he conveyed it to me.I couldn't deny the truth in his words as I listened to him speak, even though I wanted nothing more.But then I knew he was telling the truth, Cecilia had done more damage to my name, and had never stopped ruining my image, I knew it was best I reclaimed black my b
Chapter 240 - Your Real Body.Xenra"I'm going to punish you for killing an innocent soul," Asher's voice was filled with determination as he spoke, his face tight with annoyance.From the look on his face I could see how disgusted he felt. As soon as the words left his lips, Asher's head whipped towards Sylvester."What's the punishment given to a murderer?" He asked, his voice echoing the determination burning within him."Alpha," Sylvester acknowledged with a bow. As he stood back upright he began to speak, "a life taken must be repaid by a life." He answered, his voice dripping in a matching intensity.Meanwhile, Royce had gone silent as he stared at both of them, his chest heaving hard, his face tight with determination as he waited for Asher's final verdict.He was determined to pull her down with him, the look on his face echoed his fierce resolution. He probably thought he was doing a good thing exposing the Alpha's mate, and I knew he would want to garner favour from it.As
AsherA derisive snort escaped my nostrils as soon as I heard Royce's words. I knew he was only trying to bail himself out, but I would never give him that opportunity, not after what he had done."I know already," I swiftly replied, my voice heavy with certainty as I stared down at him, who was desperately trying to save himself."No, I'm not sure you know what I'm talking about," Royce swiftly replied, determination laced in his words."Lena is not even your betrothed; she's an imposter that killed your mate and has been living with her identity all this while." Royce said, his words tumbling out in a fierce rush as he stared at me with his eyes wide open.I couldn't help the scoff that escaped my lips as soon as I heard his words. He must have thought I hadn't found out about it already.Since he had been on the run since he found out that I was alive, he didn't know that I had already found out about her identity, and since I had placed Lena on house arrest ever since that day, I
Asher Seconds stretched on, yet Xenra didn't pull her gaze away from me. The shock written all over her face was undeniable as she stared at me. With every passing second, my heart banged faster, and I grew increasingly desperate as I waited for her response. Deep within, a great sense of fear resided; I just couldn't imagine her rejecting me again. Over the years, I had realised that she was the one I wanted. Although I wasn't lucky enough to get her back before and tried to move on with my life, I would never leave her again, even if she rejected me. I had realised that she was the one I needed, and I was ready to do everything possible to keep her by my side. After about nine seconds of listening to my heartbeat in fright, Xenra's lips spread into a small smile. The excitement that glinted in her eyes was unmistakable as she stared at me. Xenra nodded her head hastily, her eyes searching for mine, then she tried to sit up, while I quickly assisted her. As I sat down in the
Xenra"I was thinking you'd need help in bringing down the impersonator sitting on your throne; that was why I left the kingdom as soon as I heard the news."Marcus' voice was filled with determination as he spoke, conveying the fierceness burning within him.He stood tall, his chest puffed out with determination, and as I stared at him, I knew he was ready to fight for me; I knew he would gladly give his life up if I had asked him to.As soon as the words left his lips, Asher began to speak. "He was the one that told me everything about you and your identity," he said with a calm voice."You were still unconscious when he explained it all to me. He told me how it had happened and how he was certain you were the real vampire queen."As soon as I heard his words, I knew I had to make myself clear.The last thing I needed was for Asher to feel indebted to me as a result of what I had done for him and then try to repay me.As far as I was concerned, I didn't need his pity; I didn't want
Xenra"Is she awake?" The faint voice of Akira broke into my ears as I gradually returned from dreamland.Even in my unconsciousness, I could hear the urgency in her voice."Brother, is she awake?" The voice became a little more audible, and clearer. Even though all I saw was darkness I could feel her presence, and from her words, I realized Asher was with her.Gradually, my eyes fluttered open, and my gaze fell on the white ceiling and then to the white-washed walls. My brows twitched as I tried to keep my eyes open but I felt both dizzy and weak. Suddenly, Akira's face popped up ahead of me and I vaguely saw the wide grin on her face."She's awake, brother, she's awake," Akira announced, accompanied by her giggling.Gradually, I became more aware, and I realized that an external warmth had coated my hands. Judging from how warm and comfortable it felt, it seemed those hands had been wrapping mine for a while, and I almost couldn't feel their weight anymore."Finally, after four da
