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

    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
