Xenra

As I dwelled on what I had just heard, I felt my blood begin to boil, even as my heart began to pulsate faster with a restrained fury, but then I knew I had to keep my anger in check not to give myself away.

"So tell me, what are the evil things you heard about her?" I asked as calmly as I could, forcing a smile to my face.

"Her?" She snorted, "Don't tell me you haven't heard about her," she said, her words dripping with disbelief.

At that moment, I began to ponder what would make Zara respond that way, but since I wanted to get as much as I could, I shook my head in response, feigning a complete innocence.

As soon as she saw my response, she took quick, short steps towards me, her eyes glinting with a sudden urgency that got me both confused and surprised.

As if she were being careful not to be heard, she began, "I heard she's evil." Her words slammed into me, stirring something within me—anger. The anger I had managed to suppress earlier,

  • Mysterious Mate    Chapter 20

    Xenra I was led by the head guard to Akira's palace. As soon as I got into her palace, I couldn't stop admiring the beautiful scenery, the large garden with a lot of lighting and poles, the spring in the middle of the compound, and the luxurious building. I was wowed by such high-level development. It was clear that Asher was taking good care of her. I had witnessed his care and love for her after the death of their parents, and I could tell that it didn't reduce a bit. Even though Asher was cold-blooded, I needed no one to tell me that he had a soft spot for his sister. The guard led me into a hall that was both large and beautiful. The walls were decorated with different portraits of her and her lovely brother, along with the portraits of their late parents. There were other artistic pictures of different scenery hanging up on the other side of the wall. A large chandelier hung down the high ceiling, with a fireplace at the other end of the wall. As I withdrew m

    Xenra"What did you just say?" The chief maiden asked, her brows furrowing with shock and surprise written all over her face. The sternness in her voice was undeniable; she had totally put aside the gentleness I had earlier seen in her.Oh no! Did I just land myself into another trouble? Not again; I shouldn't have involved Asher."Oh, sorry," My response came almost immediately, but then I still needed to ascertain the extent of the trouble I had dived into.I turned instantly to the next maid standing beside me, "Was I loud?" I asked, and as I did, my gaze shifted to the next maid, who nodded her head in response along with the other one.Fuck!Inasmuch as I wanted to know how much they had heard, I didn't know how to ask them about it. I was so engrossed with my thoughts of how arrogant Asher was that I had forgotten to keep my lips sealed and gave myself away.I turned towards the chief maiden and lowered my gaze apologetically, "I'm so sorry, mistress; I didn't mean it that way.

    Xenra"You," the chief maiden pointed at Zara. "You'll be working in the kitchen department," she said. But that was what I begged for; why didn't she just give it to me instead, since she knew she was sending someone to the kitchen?She turned and rang a small bronze bell in her hand, and immediately the maid that had gathered together dispatchedAs I stared at their retreating figures, I couldn't stop wondering what was going on. Why were they suddenly walking towards different exit doors?I was still in my thoughts when someone's voice broke into my head. "That's a dismissal bell and also an assembly bell. For now, it means we should resume our duties," Zara said."I have to go now; let me go begin my duties," she said again. Well, fuck off! Is she riding on the fact that she was working in the kitchen?I wasn't in the right frame of mind; the chief had totally set the pace for a bad day already, and the last thing I needed was someone butting in.As soon as she left, I turned tow

    XenraHow dare you, Asher? After all these years, you're still arrogant, rude, and selfish!Well, that was supposed to be to his hearing, but I couldn't get myself to say it to him. I felt my muscles clenching tightly as the weight of his insults settled in my heart, causing my breath to grow heavy, and as I stared at him, I felt like punching him in the face.Well, in reality, I was doing all I could to not show any emotions. But what was he really feeling like? Does he think he was someone so mighty and strong? If not for his guards, I'd have dealt with him already and left a mark he'd never forget in his urgly face.'Did I just say ugly? Come on, he's not ugly, though. That part of him being ugly is definitely a lie.' I felt my anger residing as my attention shifted to his face.Well, that face of his was something I could kill for. How could he be that handsome and cold-blooded? If only he was a little warmer and caring, I'd have been his Luna already."How dare you? Are you sure

    Xenra "Xenra," I answered, my lips curling inwards as I silently waited for the shock that would give them away. I wanted to see Asher's reaction when he hears my name, so I secretly stole a glance at him. Two seconds passed and there was no reaction from them, although I was more concerned about that of Asher's. 'Wait! What is going on? Maybe they didn't hear me or they're pretending not to,' I reasoned within me. This time around, I was going to make sure they wouldn't be able to conceal how they feel about me and the impact my name had on them. "I said my name is Xenra," I repeated, a little firmer this time around. Although I wasn't directly looking at Asher, I could see him with my side eyes, and I could see the mask of indifference that had coated his features. Akira herself didn't seem concerned or affected by my name. Oh, wow! Was I that insignificant to them? I couldn't deny the hurt I had felt at their indifference towards me. Everything seemed to happen

    Xenra"She's my past, and my past remains my past," Asher's voice rang with pride. His words stung, piercing deeply into my heart. As I stood there, I felt my heart begin to pulsate faster, bearing the weight of the hurt his words had inflicted on me, but then I knew I couldn't afford to show any emotions, so I tried my best to control whatever pain and anger were boiling within me. "Oh, I see," Akira's words dropped to a low in defeat. "That's why you chose that witch as a mate," she said. 'A witch as a mate?' That's interesting. I quickly shoved aside every other thought since I didn't want to miss out on any information concerning his private life. My ears perked up with attention as I determined to learn as much as I could from their conversation. Asher, at Akira's words, let out a short chuckle, a dry, throaty chuckle that rang with emptiness. "At least she's better than a vampire queen that feels so important," he said after his chuckle had boiled down. Oh,

    Xenra With that determination in mind, I navigated through the hallway until I found my way to Akira's chambers. As soon as I opened the door, my eyes fell on the walls, which were painted pink, causing me to mentally roll my eyes. "Too girly," I thought. I had just taken four steps inside when I heard a voice from behind me, "And who's this?" The lady's voice dripped with a hint of contempt. I spun around, and to my surprise, I found six ladies standing behind me. A very beautiful lady with long dark hair stood in front of them, with her hands held together like a fake princess. From her pose and gesture, one could almost mistake her for royalty, but I needed no one to tell me that she was an Omega like the rest of them, maybe not too lowly, just a little favoured. Her clothing spoke of it; although she was still wearing a maid's attire, it looked a little different from what the rest of them were wearing, and I could tell she was a little higher than them—maybe th

    Xenra My lips curled upwards, and satisfaction twinkled in my eyes, even though deep within me, I was still angry. "Did you see that?" One of the maids' voices snapped me out of the anger that had settled in my heart. "I haven't seen anything like that before," one of them replied. The shock and surprise written on their faces was undeniable. Some had their eyes wide open, while others had their jaws dropped. Some of them had both their eyes and mouth wide open. I could tell they were both terrified and surprised. Right then, it replayed in my mind how she had spun around twice before crashing helplessly on the floor, and something struck me—is it that I didn't lose some of my vampire's ability? My question rang in my head. At that instant, I felt the force I had added to the slap, and it seemed to me that I still had some of my abilities left in me. In my previous life, I had avoided hitting people because of the force buried in my palms. I had always been af

  • Mysterious Mate    Chapter 164

    XenraI watched with a heavy heart as the guards carried their belongings to the horses. Although I had arranged my belongings and had taken them outside, I couldn't find the courage to take them to the horses that were already prepared for departure.While they went about their businesses, I found myself walking towards the entrance of the palace hall, where I stood a few feet away.As I fixed my gaze on the inscription above the door of the palace hall, where "Maltos' castle" was boldly written,A great sense of nostalgia washed over me, evoking memories of my reign as the vampire queen, dressed in my regalia and escorted by Marcus during my official duties.As the memories lingered, I felt greatly reluctant to leave. A great pang of sadness settled in my heart, and longing tugged along, especially since I knew I had to leave, and as I gave in to those feelings within me, I swore,"I promise you, I'll come back home as who I really am and not as a stranger in my home." My gaze fix

    XenraAs I resolved within myself, the soft rattling on the door snapped me out of the thoughts that had kept me busy.In that instant, I jolted and began to walk towards the door, but after two steps, I halted in my tracks."Wait, what has gotten over you?" I mused, my brows deeply furrowed as I pondered why I was behaving frantically.But I didn't even have the time to ponder it, as the rattle on the door snapped me back to action.In that instant, I snapped back to the present, took a deep breath, and straightened my spine, even as I prepared myself for whatever was coming.I had thought it was Lena or one of those people I didn't want to see, like Asher or the impersonator, so I prepared myself for any upcoming confrontation.As I walked gently this time around to the door, I heard the unmistakable voice of Marcus, "It's me, my lady." He said, with a small, hushed tone.As soon as I heard his voice, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding and doubled my steps to the door.

    XenraMy steps were fast as I dashed through the part that led to my room. With a loud bang, I slammed the door shut, feeling my heart banging hard against my chest."What was I looking at?" I muttered beneath my breath, wondering why I had stood still like an idiot, watching Asher and Lena have their intimate moment.No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't understand what got me so entranced that I forgot my senses.But as my thoughts lingered, I felt a looming anger within me, gradually coursing through my veins, until I was completely absorbed in it.I was angry that I had seen them kissing; I was angry about the fact that I had bumped into them at that very moment; I was angry that I was affected by it; and I was more angry that I was angry about it."What is really wrong with me?" I asked and paced back and forth, sighing in frustration with a loud puff of breath.Ever since that night with Asher, I haven't been myself. I just couldn't understand why it felt so difficul

    Asher"What are you still doing? Get out!" Lena ordered, the anger laced in her voice unmistakable."How dare you stare at us that way?" She glared at Xenra, who was standing with her head lowered."See how you were looking at us as if you wanted my man to yourself," Lena spat, her voice heavy with menace. "Just because you were able to help alleviate his symptoms, you think you have the right to be where we are?" Lena threw her question to Xenra, who clearly couldn't get herself to say a word to her.I opened my mouth to speak, but after about two seconds, I closed it and pushed back the words that had formed in my throat back to the pit of my stomach.I wanted to tell Lena that it was enough; I wanted to tell her she was being too harsh on Xenra, but then, I knew I shouldn't.I didn't want Lena to get suspicious of anything or even have an opinion. So I had to refrain from intervening in it.Yet, Lena wasn't satisfied with what she had just said, as she continued talking down on Xe

    AsherWith my mind deeply engrossed in thought, I found myself walking towards the patio. As I settled into the couch in the middle, my gaze fell on the peace lilies beside the screen wall. Although the sight of the blooming lilies was calming, my mind drifted yet again, back to the scene of that night—the night I had with Xenra.No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't stop the flashbacks that had continuously plagued my mind like flies, buzzing around me at the faintest opportunity.Although the sex I had with her was purely out of impulse, I just couldn't understand why I was unable to move on from that night; I couldn't understand why I was so affected by what had happened between us.As I gave myself fully to it all, the unmistakable voice of my wolf, Aanon, resonated within me."I think she's familiar," Aanon's voice rumbled within me, snapping me out of her looming presence."What do you mean?" I asked him, curious about what he was talking about."She feels like someone w

    LeoThe Seer's furrowed brows slackened as he gradually returned from his trance-like state, and his long white eyebrows dangled as he heaved a sigh.Having spent ten minutes already in my office, as still as a rock, looking as though he was having a mind talk with his ancestors, I felt like he had spent almost forever."Speak! What did you see?" I ordered, my words laced with impatience.I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say about what really happened that night. Deep within me, I was hoping for a different story from what the other Seers had told me,A story that would prove my suspicion and all that I had always believed to be true."Asher wasn't the one that killed your father," his calm and gentle voice rumbled in the atmosphere like a gentle waterfall. "...but the person who killed your father is taking refuge in Asher's pack," he said.My lips twisted and twitched as a great sense of anger surged within me. My fists, which were resting on my mahogany desk, clenched into f

    XenraMy eyes screwed shut, and I puffed out a deep sigh as soon as the door closed behind me.My heart ached, and a mix of emotions gushed through me.The scenes from last night kept swerving around me like a torrent, intensity all I was feeling inside.A profound sadness, deeply rooted in my heart, collided with a looming disappointment, leaving me shattered, broken, and utterly overwhelmed. I felt miserable.I felt as though I had lost touch with myself. I felt like a total stranger in the skin that embodied me; I felt like a complete loser.Although I wasn't mad at Asher, I was even surprised at how calmly he reacted to it; I just couldn't help feeling sad and angry about how I had become a total stranger to myself.My eyes welled up with tears as my present reality settled in me, and I couldn't stop the sob that threatened to break forth from my lips.My hands flew to my mouth as I tried to stifle the sob, but my tears rolled down my cheeks like a broken dam, gushing forth with r

    AsherSlowly, my eyes fluttered open. The overwhelming sunlight streaming through the window felt too intense for me to handle, and my brows drew together as a sharp, piercing pain hit my head.I tried to lift my hand to soothe my head, but I felt too weak to even lift my arm. It felt as though logs of wood were pressing down on me, and as though all my strength had jerked out of my body during my shivering.After much effort, I finally managed to touch my head, which throbbed painfully against my hand, and as I brought it down, I felt something beside me—definitely the soft skin of a woman.At that instant, my head whipped towards my right to see the fat maid lying half-naked beside me.The sight of her made my eyes bulge and caused my brows to scrunch up in a mix of surprise and confusion.Scenes strolled past me, and as I struggled to recall what had really happened and why she was lying beside me like that, her eyes snapped open, meeting my gaze. Quickly, she grabbed the blanket
