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
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
Behind the walls of the ancient Maltos Castle, a unique scent of roses and blood coated the air. The room could be described as a black paradise, with black painted walls and thick striped curtains. A huge four-poster bed lay in the middle, the black curtain sheets stretched, wrinkled by the entangled bodies hidden beneath them. The ethereal beauty sprawled on the bed, with the arms of her lover, wrapped around her delicate body. “You smell nice,” he whispered lazily. Her eyes flickered open with a low hum. From the stunning glow in the scarlet eyes, one could tell she was still immersed in the afterglow of sex.“I always smell nice.” The deep rumble from his chest made her look up. The laughter of her lover always found a way to make her heart tingle. “You have always been so cocky, my Queen and I must confess it suits you,” he flicked her nose. The Vampire Queen giggled, adjusting the sheets to hide her body. Lenhandro held down the sheets. He loved the way her pale flawless
XenraThis is insane! How can this be happening to me? I begged her to let me be reborn to take my revenge. Shouldn't she have gotten the hint that I wanted to be reborn as a vampire Queen, not whatever the hell this was?Apparently, the woman thought this was funny. She made a cruel joke out of my situation!Releasing a sigh, I accepted my fate based on compulsion. I asked for a second chance at life and I got one. The best thing to do was utilize it.Returning my gaze to the mirror, a set of scarlet orbs stared back at me. Although strange, it was somehow relieving she let me retain my terrifying eye colour. It would traumatize me if I wind up with those random blue eyes. Squishing the chubby cheeks for mental approval, a grin broke out of my face. It felt so warm. So alive. I touched my chest and just as I suspected, I heard the gentle beats of the human heart. Unlike my cold, silent, heart.“What can I say? Thank you, Moon Goddess,” I winked charmingly, secretly hoping my goo
XenraI rubbed my feet against each other, struggling to get the stupid chains off but it seemed I was only entertaining the crowd. I tried reaching for it but it only wore me out. Sweating in between ragged breaths, I gave up trying. My body was weak and begging for relief. So I hung there, helplessly as my captors approached me with grinning faces. The greed in their eyes warned me that I had a lot coming my way if they successfully captured me. “Quite lively for an omega, aren't you?” One of the slavers snorted, reaching for my face. My expression went stoic as my eyes darkened ruthlessly. I tilted my head, sinking my teeth into his hands before fisting him in the balls and shoving him. He hit the ground, groaning in pain as the others burst into laughter. "Quite a feisty one I must admit. She has a fire and quite a temper. This might just be our best one yet,” another chuckled, stepping from behind. I tried to spin around. Give him a piece of my mind but something pierced i
XenraIt seemed like the effect of the drug was fading so I was awfully aware of everything going on around me. In detail this time. Asher's once shimmering grey eyes were ice cold now, sweeping through each slaver with an intensity that made them shiver. It seemed most of them recognized him. This ruthless werewolf leader made even the mighty crumble before him. Whether it was the powerful aura he exuded or the strength built in those muscles, whichever it was it compelled a submission that required more than willpower to resist.Considering how many times he had me begging, squirming in his bed.I couldn't help but wonder if he still hated me now. Our relationship didn't exactly end on good terms. Did he still think of me?The slavers began to slowly retreat in panic. They knew what this man was capable of and how many packs he reduced to dust. “We don't mean trouble, Alpha. We are only chasing a runaway slave,” as if to back their claim, they raised my hand to reveal that slave
XenraOn hearing the words, the slavers seemed to have gone through five rounds of death. The wolves continued to enclose them, flashing their fangs and threatening movements, further intensifying their fear. In less than a second, they pounced and the silent night was disturbed with screams and pleas. The traders tried to fight back, a few of them transforming into their weak werewolf forms. If I thought I had seen humiliation, this was the worst. Before the elite wolves, they looked like cubs. Small and inferior. It made the killing process easier. As the weaker wolves attacked, the bigger wolves curved strategically, sinking their fangs into their necks. One snap and they all went limp. All except the squirming slave master. Who looked like he was on the verge of passing out. “P…Please….” Asher's cold gaze made him hold his breath, afraid the wolves would kill him if he even breathed wrong. “I don't intend to kill you. I need your help,” Asher said slowly. I looked at him in
Xenra "You want to kill yourself with that bag of nonsense?" Asher's low growl shattered the momentary silence that had accompanied the thick darkness surrounding us. Huh! Did he just call me a bag of nonsense? I was still trying to process Asher's words when I felt the arms of my saviour give way. My eyes bulged, and before I could get myself to say no or tug onto his arms, my body met the ground with a loud thud, sending dust flying in the air like a heavy bag would. My eyes screwed shut, and I coughed, choking from the smell of dust that flew into my mouth and nostrils from that collision. A loud throaty chuckle covered my coughing sound; they all seemed entertained. The sound of which made my blood boil. 'This is the height of it; I can't take it anymore. How dare they do this to me, a vampire queen?!' My fists balled, and my eyes flew open as I tried to spring myself up like I had always done, but I could only move my clenched fists and tight muscles. 'Damn! Curse this sac

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. "Is someone lost in thoughts?" Her voice sliced through the thi
