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 skin shone with a faint lustre under the candlelight. 

They had been lovers for almost a decade, and now was the perfect time to give her the one thing he'd always wanted. 

His arms slid down her back. 

“Is that you asking for another round?” She teased. Flipping her over, he leaned in seductively.

“There's something I've always wanted to give you…” he whispered into her ears. 

“What is that?” Xenra asked eagerly. He palmed her face tenderly. 

“Do you trust me?” 

“With my life,” she answered in a heartbeat. He planted a soft tender on her cold lips as his fingers trailed down to her neck then her chest.

“I knew you would say that. Which is why…” he pushed the finger into her chest and a strangled gasp escaped her lips. “I've always wanted to give you a quick painless death.” 

Several emotions flashed through her eyes at the same time. From shock to confusion to hurt. 

“Lenhandro,” the name fell off her quivering lips. “Why…?” 

“You will not understand, love,” he pushed her hair back to get a proper look at her beautiful face. “There are things a lot more complicated than just feelings, and love, but I don't expect you to understand that.”

Blood flowed from her mouth, but she struggled to stay calm. Moving with a finger buried deep in her chest would only trigger the pain. 

She couldn't handle both at once. 

“Why betray me?” Cold tears rolled down her cheeks. “I loved you.” 

“And I love you too, my Queen but like I said, some things are greater than love. Like the thrilling taste of fresh blood, the cries, the struggle to hold on to life. Don't you ever miss that Your Highness? Watching them go still in your grasp, draining every form of life in them, tasting the chills of death engulf them?” Lenhandro asked.

Angry tears rolled down her cheeks. He pushed the finger deeper until it pierced through her heart. 

“Do not ignore me, your highness. Are you not sick of kindness? Drinking disgusting animal blood when these sweet-smelling humans parade around us, making a joke of our existence! I am sick of this benevolent rule! You are too weak to lead our people to greatness. We need to regain our former glory. Go on a killing spree, burst those blood vessels with our fangs, and subdue them! Make them tremble before us, my love.”

Xenra was stunned at how softly he vomited those vile words to her. The fact that he still gazing at her affectionately while digging into her heart was simply outrageous.

“You are delusional! You will never succeed. I will surely get my revenge. You will pay for this insolence! I will tear you to pieces and feed your body to the vultures!” Xenra spat. 

“Don't yell, love. This might hurt more than it should,” he sneered. 

Before she could process his words, the other fingers penetrated her chest, grabbing her heart. He ripped out the cold immortal heart from her chest and a prolonged gasp escaped her lips.

Blood streamed down her body in torrents, soaking the black sheets. Casting the heart aside, he lifted her dying body from the sheets and headed to the window.

As the moon rays hit her fading vision, she prayed, “I don't know if you can hear me, moon goddess, but I hope just this once, you cast our enmity aside and give me the chance to be reborn.”

At this moment, the dazzling full moon suddenly emitted a blinding white light just as her vision faded away. 

Her eyes opened to an unfamiliar environment. She didn't get the chance to adapt as her senses picked up the weight pressing against her body. 

A wave of disgust hit her as the haggard-looking being latched unto her, struggling to suck her blood. 

Xendra shoved him off her with minimal effort and he hit the ground with a small thud. He looked like a miserable sack of bones. Before he had the chance to react, she pressed her hand against his mouth and snapped his neck in one move. 

The audacity of the imbecile to try sucking her blood! Didn't he know it was suicide attempting to drain a vampire Queen?

Stepping over him, she walked to a door which happened to lead to a bathroom. She tore the blood-sucking device on her neck. It was fang-like and probably attached to their teeth by their masters. 

Blood gushed out from her neck and annoyance seeped through her. She was tired of bleeding!

She expected the wound to heal up immediately but she could still feel the blood trickling down her neck.  

Something was out of place. A vampire's blood was supposed to be cold so why the hell was the blood in her hand warm?

Her gaze shifted to the mirror. Disbelief stained her eyes. Sure, the person in the mirror had similar features, but it definitely wasn't her. She wasn't this hideous.

She was prettier, more curly, pale, and certainly not so… fat! Was this some sort of joke? 

It was in that moment that her hazy mind cleared and earlier events of the night replayed in her head. 

With the moonlight as the last scene in her memory, Xenra let out a scoff.

So the moon goddess did answer her prayers. Not because she took pity on her situation or wanted to grant her sincere request, but as an opportunity to make her own joke. 

Xenra glared at the mirror. She should have known that the goddess wouldn't completely put their enmity aside. 

Why else would she let her be reborn as a different creature? A hideous one at that!

    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

    Xenra "He has not been a bad leader after all, even though he's still that cruel, heartless pack of ice I've always known," my inner voice dripped with admiration. My lips turned downward, and I nodded my head as I took in the sight before me. I noticed the once rocky and rough roads were now smothered and overlaid with marbles, not just in his courtyard. The streets had tiled roads as well, unlike what I had remembered. I had always disliked coming to his pack because the black trail of my gown always got smeared with dust every time I visited, despite how careful I was. "Fall in!" The one that had commented on my skin earlier ordered, and the two ladies scrambled together at his voice. They were clearly scared. As expectedof lowly Omegas, the fear in their faces was undeniable, but how could I, Xenra, be told what to do and what not to? A snort of derision escaped my nostrils at my thoughts, and I rolled my eyes, maintaining my stance. As it should be, he gestured at the girl

    Asher "Asher," Akira's voice echoed in the hallway that morning, halting me in my tracks. As ever, she was bubbling like the morning sun. A sense of calm washed over me as her heels tapped the marble floor beneath her in a quick, fast pace. Although I had a pile of duties to attend to that morning in my office, nothing could ever come before my sister, who was the only family I had left. I turned towards her to find her face broadened with a smile, her golden hair ruffled from her night sleep. As carefree as ever. She seemed to have just awoken from a long, peaceful night's sleep. The warmth she exuded was contagious and made my lips spread into a light smile. "I heard you came home with some slaves last night," she said, her words ringing with cheerful excitement as she fixed her pair of grey eyes on me, causing me to nod my head in response. At my response, her hands flew to her jaw; she seemed to be contemplating it. "Really." She paused for a fleeting seconds, and then she

    Asher "I think you don't just like her," I said calmly, even as I pointed out to her that she was having a biased perception of her. I knew her perception of her would change when they got to spend more time together. At least I've been with her for a while, and I knew her better than anyone else in the pack. "Don't worry, when she becomes part of our pack, I'm sure you'd learn to love her," I added calmly, hoping to ease whatever trouble she seemed to have with her. But Akira didn't say a word. She clearly wasn't buying it. I couldn't afford to have my only family be in a loggerhead with my future Luna; I was going to do all it costs to ensure they both get to understand each other. Akira stood there with a disapproving mouth pout, her hands crossed in front of her. Seeing the seriousness on her face, I decided to ease her up a bit."Don't worry, Akira; even if she's ruthless to every other person, she wouldn't dare do that to you, because she knows you're my priceless

    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."

    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
