"Get ready, we're going to pay Leo a visit." I instructed Jerome, who had just walked into my chambers.

As soon as he heard my words, he bowed his head in reverence.

"Yes, my Lord." He replied and turned, but before he could take one step away from where I stood, I called him back.

"Don't keep me waiting." I told him, my voice laced with warnings, and in that instant, he placed his hands together in front of his chest, and I realised he had worn a leather glove over his lost thumb.

"I promise not to keep you waiting, my Lord." Jerome responded with a slight bow, and as soon as he turned, he quickened his pace out of my chambers.

After about four minutes, a knock came on the door, and as soon as I granted whoever it was access into my room, Jerome opened the door, his chest heaving hard against his ribcage.

"Everything is ready, my Lord." He said, as he tried to catch his breath.

I grunted in response and waved him off while he took another bow and left.

    XenraMy steps were quick and swift as they carried me to Akira's personal chamber. Deep within me, my mind was far from being at peace."Why had Akira sent for me?" I kept muttering to myself, but no matter how I tried to wrap my head around it, I just couldn't understand why she had called me to her inner room.Akira's personal room was one place that was off-limits to the maids. She rarely permitted anyone inside; that alone fuelled my anxiety.I couldn't stop wondering why Akira had asked me to come to her personal chambers.As I dashed through the path that led to her room, I noticed the gaze of the maids was heavy upon me. As I drew closer, they kept whispering among themselves, but whenever I stared at anyone, she immediately pulled her gaze away.There was no doubt they were all scared of me; it was written all over their faces, and I felt it as I walked past them. I didn't need anyone to tell me they were scared because of what happened in the field that day.As I walked past

    XenraAkira's question slammed into me and greatly unsettled me, leaving me both shocked and speechless. I never expected such a question from her.After staring at her for about four seconds, a small chuckle broke out of my throat, even though I wasn't amused in any way. I felt rather uncomfortable rather than amused."In what way?" I asked as calmly as I could. But then, I realised that would make me more uncomfortable, so I swiftly continued, feigning ignorance."Well, the Alpha is nice," I began with a small shrug. "He's our leader, he's..." I was still speaking when Akira swiftly interrupted me."No, that's not what I'm asking about," She calmly said, and then she heaved a sigh."What I mean is... Do you like his personality?" She asked, her voice calm and measured. "I mean, do you think you would've said yes if you had the opportunity to be his mate?" Akira threw her question at me, asking me the same thing I had earlier wanted to avoid—the same question I had feigned ignorance

    AsherThe shrill cry of someone caught my attention as I unbuttoned my sleep shirt that morning.As I wondered who had the audacity to scream in my palace, it dawned on me that it was my sister, Akira.Just like a flash, I turned towards the door and rushed out of my room. As soon as I got to the hallway, I saw her already running towards my room, barefooted.The sight of Akira crying like a baby pierced my heart. My brows furrowed, and I instinctively ran towards her. As I closed the distance between us, I heard her maids saying to her, "My lady,""Please stop crying," "Take it easy, my lady,"Their voices were a discordant hum of distress as they scurried behind her like bees.They kept begging her, but she seemed too broken to pay attention to their words.As soon as I caught up with her, I held onto her upper arms, and I realised she was shaking. The fear written on her face was undeniable as I stared at her complexion, which had turned crimson."What happened?" I asked her, st

    XenraAs I stood at the corner of the hall staring at Akira, who had cried a river already, I was overwhelmed with a great sense of pity.Despite how swollen her eyes were and how frail she looked, she didn't stop crying; not even Asher could console her.Asher, on the other hand, was so furious, his jaw clenched in a fierce determination as his gaze bore into space.A blanket of fury had clouded his ever-courageous pose as he stood tall, still full of confidence amidst the gravity of the situation, waiting for the culprit to be caught.From where I stood, I could feel the wrath burning within him, and I didn't need anyone to tell me how angry he was.As I fixed my gaze back on Akira, I couldn't help but wonder why someone would steal such a valuable possession as that."But I saw it yesterday," I muttered beneath my breath as I wondered why the person had stolen it and what had propelled whoever it was into such an act.Even in my kingdom, I had a sacred heirloom, and nobody had ever

    XenraIn that instant, Akira stepped out of the podium, her feet heavy with determination as they carried her towards me.I turned to her as she drew closer, but before I said a word to her, her hand shot out and landed heavily on my cheek.The sound of the slap sent every single maid into silence, and they all fixed their gaze at me, waiting for what would befall me."I trusted you!" Akira yelled, her shrill voice echoing off the walls. Her jaw was tight with fury as she stared at me with her eyes wide open in wrath."Yesterday I brought you to my inner room and even gave you gifts, not knowing you're a thief and a betrayal," She said, her words tumbling out in a single rushed breath, dripping with a mix of anger and disappointment."So when you were asking me about my mother's sacred heirloom, your plan was to steal it afterwards and cause me pain?" She asked, her brows tightly furrowed as she tapped her chest."I thought you were a good person. I trusted you and drew you close, but

    Lena"I didn't do it; I'm innocent!" I heard the fat maid say, her voice urgent and desperate, as they dragged her away from the hall. It seemed reality had just dawned on her.As for the maids in the hall, they never stopped calling her names. In that instant, I realised I wasn't the only one happy about the fact that she was in trouble.As I watched her being dragged away by two guards, I couldn't help but smile, savouring the satisfaction of my accomplishment.But then I knew I had just started. "This is just the beginning," I muttered beneath my breath.Immediately, I pulled my gaze from her and fixed it on Akira, who was still looking hurt and greatly disappointed, and I made my way towards her."Oh Akira," I called as soon as I was close enough, "I'm so sorry about what just happened." Shaking my head as I spoke.My voice was tinged with sadness, and worry was etched on my face. It was a facade of compassion I had worn to mask my hatred for her.But as soon as the words left my

    Lena"Yesterday when I saw her walking towards Akira's chamber, I followed her and eavesdropped on their conversation," I said, my voice full of pride and confidence.As soon as I began to speak, Royce folded his hands in front of him, his eyes glinting with anticipation as he waited for the full details.Seeing the expectation glinting in his eyes, I shrugged my shoulders, because that was basically it. "Well, an idea popped up in my head after I heard their conversation and boom!" I added.Although I had been thinking about how to set her up, I had never thought about a way to get it done as soon as possible.In fact, I never thought I was going to do it anytime soon. Seeing how they seemed to trust her, I had thought it would be difficult to get her entangled in my web, I never thought it would be so easy to get her off my path for good."After listening to their conversations yesterday, it dawned on me that Akira had just created a perfect opportunity for me." I swiftly added, my

    LenaAs I stared at Asher's face, I could see the worry etched on his face, the uncertainties that gleamed in his eyes, causing me to silently scoff at him.Deep within me, I knew he was worried about Xenra, but I didn't care. I didn't even pay attention to the look on his face, since I knew she was doomed for good, and Asher wouldn't be able to do anything about it, even if he wanted to.Even though he was sad, I decided to grab the opportunity, and remind him of how grave her crime was."I never thought Xenra was that kind of person," I began to speak, my face a mask of disappointment as I peered out the window, where his gaze was fixed."I'm sure the reason why that girl had the nerve to steal from your sister is because you're too lenient with her, all because she saved your life," I pointed out, even as I attempted to poison his mind against her."You've given her so much importance, which she has taken for granted; now look at the result of your kindness towards her."

    LenaAs I pondered what Royce had just told me, something dropped in my mind, snapping me off the thoughts that had kept me busy.My head whipped towards him, and in that instant, I asked, "Did you just say 'hidden dungeon?'" My voice was rushed and urgent."Is that nowhere that fat maid?" My brows slightly furrowed as I stared at him."Yes, my lady, that's where she is." Royce firmly replied. Hearing his response made me snort, and I began to slice the beef on my plate again.As I did so, I continued, "You can just tell the men to start experimenting with her by pouring some of the content in her body. After all, she's useless now to everyone." The words had barely left my lips when I continued savouring the beef again, even as I relished the satisfaction of what I had just said.A light chuckle broke out of Royce's lips instead as soon as he heard my words, the sound of which belied the hesitation in his heart."As long as I like the fact that we think alike, my lady, remember when

    LenaWithout saying another word, Akira turned and walked away. In that instant, I turned towards Asher and said to him, "I'm really sorry if I said something wrong," My voice wrapped in feigned remorse. "I didn't mean to offend anyone."Only then did Asher pull his gaze away from Akira's retreating figure and fix it on me. "You should learn to keep your mouth shut," he said, his voice heavy, his words tumbling out in a rush."It's not every time that your opinion is needed." He added, his voice echoing the annoyance that was deeply settled in his heart.As soon as the words left his lips, he stood up and left. His steps were heavy with determination as they carried him back towards his room.In that instant, my lips spread into a broad smile, and I almost couldn't stop myself from chuckling in excitement.Deep within me, I was excited that they had both fallen for my plan.As soon as they disappeared out of my sight, I began humming my clan's song of victory again and picked up my t

    LenaI could see the curiosity glinting in Asher and Akira's eyes as we waited patiently for Asher to read the letter.As soon as Asher opened the letter, a slight furrow creased his forehead, followed by a momentary silence, making me even more curious about what he had read."What does it say?" I asked, my words laced with urgency, but Akira didn't say a word as she waited patiently for Asher to read the content aloud.After about three more seconds, Asher began to read."This is a request to you, Alpha Asher, and to your sister, Lady Akira.Having been found as a single and most eligible lady in our time, I request a meeting between Lady Akira and my son Jefferson to discuss a marriage between our families.If it would please you, I request that Lady Akira pay us a visit to get acquainted with my son, Jefferson.Signed: Alpha Scott."As soon as Asher finished reading, he folded the letter calmly, his gaze fixed on what he was doing, but the expression on his face betrayed no emotio

    AsherOne week later.Despite how hard I had tried to shove the thought of Xenra being locked up in the dungeon off my mind, I just couldn't successfully do that.For the past week, I had been persistently plagued by the thought of her, even though I couldn't understand why I was so concerned about her.The thought of her and her predicament kept lurking around me, haunting me like a ghost in the dark, making it almost impossible for me to concentrate on anything else.Even though I wanted to justify my actions since she was rude to me, I still felt my heart pierced.Even though I had only wanted to help her. I had gone to the prison to talk to her and see how I could help her, but she was so rude to me, making me look like a fool, making me wonder why I even wanted to help her in the first place, since she didn't need my help.I felt insulted as she threw my words to the ground like something worthless, and that was when I decided to teach her a lesson.I wanted her to show some remo

    LenaAs I stared at Xenra, I saw her lips curl into a determined smirk, but the anger and hatred in her eyes were unmistakable.As soon as I saw the look on her face, I scoffed, accompanied by a light chuckle, even as understanding dawned on me.In that instant, I realised she only wanted to rile me up, and I wasn't going to listen to what she had to say or give her the satisfaction she craved.I folded my hands in front of me and heaved a sigh. "There's no need to listen to a bluffing, worthless, lowly maid like you," I said, my lips curled up in satisfaction."I know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work," I slammed my words at her, my voice bearing the weight of my resolve."Just in case it hasn't dawned on you, you're a loser, and I doubt you'd be leaving here anytime soon!" A chuckle broke out of my lips as soon as the words left my lips, the sound of which bore the amusement and satisfaction that were deeply seated in my heart."You might not know this, but let me

    LenaAs I watched her being pulled by the guards, I couldn't help the feeling of contentment that swirled within me.But then, I knew I had to maintain my charade and add more fuel to the flames.In that instant, my head whipped towards Asher. "Can you imagine? She's so full of pride and arrogance." I said, my words heavy with a feigned anger.But the words had barely left my lips when Asher turned and walked away, and in that instant, Akira followed him, her maids walking after her.Being all alone, I couldn't stop the smile that curled my lips. I was glad the Alpha had locked her up in the deepest dungeon, which was a good sign for me.It meant that he had totally severed every connection or whatever feelings he might have for her.Deep within me, I was certain she was off my path for good, and the next thing I had to do was to proceed and wait for the best moment to strike."Enjoy all you can now," I muttered under my breath as I watched Asher march towards the palace, "because you

    XenraA great sense of sadness settled in my heart as they led me out of the prison. I couldn't stop wondering how I'd cope being with a whole lot of people.Deep within me, I knew if I was taken to the slave's prison, it'd be difficult for me to regain my powers, since I wouldn't be able to give in fully to it.I didn't need anyone to tell me that I wouldn't be able to exercise my spirit as much as I should and might lose it in the process.As I pondered my thoughts, the sight of Akira walking towards us snapped me back to the present and sprang hope within me.But as she drew closer, she took the path by her left, and I realised she wasn't coming to see me, but then I wasn't going to allow that opportunity to pass me by."Lady Akira," I swiftly called out to her, my voice rushed and urgent, which halted her in her tracks immediately.In that instant, I rushed towards her, but was held back by the guards even before I got closer to her."What are you doing?

    XenraThe anger in Asher's face was intense as he stared at me, and as if that wasn't enough, he continued,"I'll see to it that justice is done accordingly." His voice was tight and rough as he spoke, gesturing with his hands.His expression resigned as he tried to mask the hurt he was feeling, but I knew I had hurt his pride and he was only trying to keep his composure even though he wasn't in any way cool.After about a three-second pause, he continued, "I think I believe everybody's words. I shouldn't have bothered trying to look for a way to save you." His voice was calm but tight."I think it's clear to me now that you really stole the heirloom," he continued. "I think because of what happened between us, you feel entitled; you feel you now have the right to speak to me the way you want, right?" He asked, his brows raised quizzically as he stared at me.Although I knew he wasn't expecting an answer from me, he only wanted me to see how much I had crossed the line.Asher pulled h

    XenraAsher's words dropped into my heart and left me shocked, as I never expected him to say that, not to mention how determined he was.But then, I knew I shouldn't dwell on that. He had just posed a tough question to me, and even if I had my suspicions, I knew I had to be careful.I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The words felt stuck in my throat, and I couldn't help but swallow hard.I opened my mouth to go again, and even though something within just wanted to scream their names, I just couldn't get myself to tell him that.I mean, how could I tell him that the prime suspects were his lovely mate, Lena, and his loyal beta, Royce?I knew he wouldn't even believe me, not to mention that the people would think I was doing everything possible to be his mistress since I saved his life. I knew I shouldn't do that; I didn't want to complicate the issue.Meanwhile, Asher's gaze remained unyielding as he stared at me, waiting for my response. His expression demanded an an
