Lena

As 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." I said, ge

    Asher"What would be her judgement?" Akira's words broke into the thoughts that had kept me busy."I want the judgement to be as soon as possible. I don't want it to last for long. Thinking about it is making me really upset." She said, her voice tight and determined.As I stared at my little sister, I could see how hurt she was, and I knew she just wanted to close every chapter about Xenra so that she could move on from the hurt she was feeling."Exactly what I was telling your brother before you came in," Lena swiftly chimed, her voice firm and steady."There's no need to pet the situation; the judgement should be as soon as possible," she said.But then, how could I get myself to pronounce a judgement on her? The thought of it alone filled me with a great sense of uneasiness, and I couldn't get myself to do it.As soon as the words left her lips, Akira turned towards her, the furrow on her face etching deeper."I wasn't talking to you; I was talking to my brother," she said, her wo

    Asher"Excuse me, Alpha, I need to rest my head," Lena told me as soon as the words left my lips, while I nodded my head in response. I wasn't in the mood to say anything to her. In that instant, she bowed her head and walked away, while Royce bowed his head and swiftly excused himself.As soon as the door closed behind them, I turned towards Akira, and I saw the sadness that had masked her face and the sorrow that had settled in her eyes.I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was pondering the implications of my words and the gravity of their impact.The fact that Xenra was going to remain in the dungeon for close to a month had really shaken her initial resolve.I knew she was sad because of her affection for Xenra. I knew she really didn't want Xenra to go through such torment of the dark, but she knew she had no choice."Are you okay?" I asked her, my voice calm and concerned, while she nodded her head in response, even though her eyes were screaming, "I'm not okay!"Then I de

    XenraMy heart was heavy as I seethed in the corner of the room I was thrown into, my jaw tightly clenched in a fuming rage.Although I wasn't locked up in the dark dungeon as I had expected, which had left me confused, I was too engrossed with the anger swirling inside of me, to pay attention to it.Deep within me, I was certain; I didn't need anyone to tell me it was either Royce or Lena who had framed me up. The look I had seen on their faces confirmed it."It couldn't be any other person but one of them." I pondered aloud.I knew a mere maid couldn't have done it so fluidly; even though they all hated me, I knew only someone of high rank could do such a thing.Everything was carefully plotted and executed, and it almost seemed as though Akira had a hand in it herself, but then I knew she wasn't that kind of person.As my thoughts lingered, the look I had seen on Lena's face and the small smile I saw on Royce's face kept replaying before me, further infuriating me."But why?

    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

    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

    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? Move it!" The guard that w

    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

    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

    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
