As 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.

    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

    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

    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

"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
