Royce

"You should still be careful, Royce; apart from Asher, you also have the pack to worry about." My mother's words broke into my thoughts, snapping me back to the present.

I turned towards her, my brows furrowing as I began to wonder what she meant by that, and before I could say a word, her voice came again. "The pack might not support you," she said calmly.

Her words had hit on my fraying nerves even as the weight of their betrayal settled on my shoulders, but my mother wasn't done speaking.

"Every one of them believes that your father was evil and sentimental for trying to overthrow his brother," she said, her voice edged with worry. Her eyes glinting with concern.

Her words ignited the anger that had been swirling within me, and my hands shot out with a fierce intensity, pointing towards the palace again.

"Evil?" I asked, my lips and chins quivering with restrained fury, "Then they are all dumb for thinking that way. Maybe they were bribed by Asher's evil father, which was wh

    Asher Right in the dining room with my sister Akira, the table was filled with a spread of dishes. As I settled on the chair with Akira, ready for dinner, her voice broke into the thoughts that had gotten me busy. "Why are you looking so excited this evening? Is there any good news?" She asked, her eyes flicking from my face to her plate. My lips curled upwards as her words settled in my heart: "Yes, there's good news." I responded with a matching intensity, and I felt her gaze on me. But before she could ask another question, I swiftly added, "I'm expecting someone special," I said at the same time gesturing towards Akira's fat maid to serve the appetisers. Almost immediately, she began serving the meatballs, and when she was done, she stepped backwards, standing beside Akira at a considerable distance. "Hm!" Akira's voice dropped with surprise. "The last time I heard a thing like that was how many years ago..." Akira trailed off and tapped her fingers on the table

    XenraReluctantly, I had apologised to him; if it were deemed fit that I should, I wouldn't have, not after he had addressed my mistake in the most degrading way ever. Beside, if he hadn't insulted me, I wouldn't have lost my composure.Asher was as rude as ever; no matter how I thought about it, I still couldn't see what had warranted those insults from him. His words had stirred up anger within me and had evoked memories of our past.Even as I stood there, I kept telling myself that leaving him was one of the best decisions I made. I was still lost in my thoughts when his angry voice broke into my head."What are you still waiting for? Get out from here!" He ordered, his voice a deep growl like a wounded beast. His words snapped me off my thoughts, and I turned toward him to find him staring at me with a tight face."Brother," Akira's urgent voice came almost immediately, even before I could take a bow. "Brother, you're just being paranoid for no reason," I heard her say as I began

    Xenra"Let's go have breakfast," Zara's voice rang with excitement as soon as she finished making her bed."Breakfast?" I asked as her words settled in my heart, "I'm not going," I swiftly added, my brows furrowing at the thought of what would be served to us."Really? It seems you had quite enough to eat from the Alpha's table last night," Zara teased, her tone dripping with a mix of mockery and surprise as she stared at me with anticipation glinting in her eyes."Oh, don't speak of it!" I expressed, rolling my eyes as I quickly dismissed every emerging thought of what had transpired the previous night.Zara, at my words, chuckled; she seemed to have understood how difficult it was, tending to that routless monster of an Alpha."So let's go have breakfast before you end up having nothing to eat at all this morning," she urged as she reached out for my hands. Her words made me scoff in disbelief, as if not having breakfast wasn't far better than the rubbish being served to us."I wou

    Xenra"Oh, you're really lucky then, because everybody I had worked with had treated me cruelly," she stated, the sternness that had plagued her voice, gradually giving way for understanding.But just when I had started to believe it had died down, her voice came again: "So tell me, which of the Alphas did you work for, that was so benevolent to help you?" She asked, her words laced with interest as enthusiasm gleamed in her eyes. Her words struck me instead, and for the next three seconds I was both shocked and dumbfounded. Although I had known that was coming, I never expected it so soon, and at that instant, I couldn't wrap my head around whom to mention."Oh," I chuckled after I snapped out of my daze, "Alpha em..." I began, and right there my mind was already running around the globe as I tried to think of any other Alpha I had heard about, apart from that heartless Asher.But the more I tried, the more I realised that I had not paid attention to the rest of them, apart from Ash

    XenraWith the same intensity coursing through me, I opened my mouth to speak, but just before the words could leave my mouth, I recalled I wanted to avoid every form of trouble as much as I could.Given that realisation, I slowly let out my breath as I attempted to calm myself down."Why should I be the one to hunt for more firewood?" I asked as calmly as I could, my brows furrowing with displeasure.At my words, she rolled her eyes and let out a scoff. I could see the disbelief written all over her face as she attempted to enforce her dominance.Did she think I would've readily accepted her orders like an obedient puppy? No matter how much I wanted to be polite and avoid eyes from being on me, I just couldn't see the logic behind what she had asked me to do.Before she could respond to my question, I said to her, "I'm supposed to be working with Princess Akira, so why should I be the one to hunt for more firewood?" I asked. I wanted to let her see how unreasonable it was to ask me t

    Xenra "You should have been a comedian instead, Xenra." She said, causing my brows to furrow, even as I began to wonder why she had found my words rather funny, but as I tried to wrap my head around what it could be, her voice came again. "Do you really think you can deal with her?" She posed her question to me, which sent me deeper into confusion. "It seems you don't know who she is. She's like the final say after Lady Akira, so it'd be very difficult to want to get her into submission," Zara explained, her words dripping with certainty. 'Oh, I see why she thinks she's above every other person. So much power and authority in the hands of someone not qualified to be in the possibility of a leader,' my words rang in my head. Little wonder she was always haughty and spoke the way she pleased to anyone. I was still pondering my thoughts when Zara's voice broke into my head. "I need to start going; we've been asked to prepare for the Alpha's mate's arrival," she stated. At the ment

    AsherRight before me was standing the fat maid of my sister, Akira, who had never stopped getting on my nerves."Al-Al-Alpha," the maid standing beside her greeted. She was shaking really bad like she was about to pee in her pants, but she wasn't my major concern.I quickly waved her off without sparing her a glance. I was more concerned about the fat one, who thought she was some kind of deity that couldn't be trampled upon. As I stepped closer, she completely lowered her head, as if she was trying to hide her face, but if only she knew that her body had already given her away and no one needed to see her face to know who she was."Greetings Alpha," She greeted with a small voice, although the initial confidence I had heard in her voice was no more, how she managed to maintain her cool after what she had done ruffled my already fraying wrath, and as I stared at her, something began to swell within me - anger."What did you just say?" I asked, my words echoing the anger that was swi

    Asher "The next time this rubbish repeats itself, I'd make sure I peeled your skin off and served them to you as a meal," I said, my voice heavy with the weight of restrained anger as I stared at her, but she remained quiet, like a statue that could not speak. "Have I made myself clear?" I asked her, and only then did she roll her lips and lower her gaze, "I'm sorry Alpha." She apologised, but her words were like she was being forced to offer her apology. How could I accept an apology like that? When the look on her face spoke otherwise. I mean, how can a slave I bought with my own money be this haughty? I just couldn't understand it; her actions had left me wondering, 'Is it that she didn't care about her miserable life or what? Or is it because she felt I couldn't harm her? Or does she think she's strong enough to withstand my torture?' I pondered between myself. Maybe she had realised how much I adored my sister, and she knew I wouldn't be able to harm her beca

    XenraThe atmosphere was unusually quiet as Akira and Asher went about their dinner. From the look on Akira's face, I could tell something was running through her mind.Her brows were slightly creased as she picked at her meal as though she had no appetite, and I began to wonder if they had had another quarrel.After about four minutes of eating without saying a word to each other, Akira slammed her knife and fork against her plate, which made Asher's head jerk up."What's the matter?" He asked, his tone ringing with concern.As if that was the signal Akira had been waiting for, she said, "Brother, I really hope you can reconsider your plan." Her words dripping with urgency as she stared at Asher.Her words made my brows furrow, and I began to wonder what she was talking about.Asher's expression remained unreadable, and even though he didn't say a word, Akira pressed on. "I'd advise you to wait until you've had your crises, after which you can go wherever you want to go." As I liste

    AsherAt my words, the physician heaved a sigh, and then he took two steps closer to me."Alpha!" His voice came gently. "For the past three years you've had this crisis; it has always taken a toll on you," he said, his voice tinged with concern."I'm sorry to say this, but I'm sure you can remember we even had to lock you up in an empty room so that you wouldn't hurt yourself or those around you." As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as though he was saying, 'You know I'm right!'Although the physician spoke calmly, his words stirred something else within me. Gradually, I began to succumb to the feelings that accompanied them and the memories of the years past that they brought along.At that moment, my gaze turned inward as memories from those painful years began to stroll past me. Every single one of them left trails of sadness in their wake. Three years ago was the beginning of one of the most lonely and painful years of my life. Even after my breakup with the vampire queen

    /-ASHER-/"Brother, you know he's telling the truth." Akira's voice was tense and urgent as she spoke, panic flickering across her face.At her words, I chuckled, the sound of which rang with emptiness."What truth are you talking about?" I asked, my question dripping with incredulity as my eyes darted from Akira's face to the physician's, in anticipation of the response that would prove me wrong.No matter how hard I thought about it, I just couldn't fathom why they were overreacting. As far as I knew, it was nothing to be so frantic about.As soon as the words left my lips, Akira responded, "Brother, you know so well how dangerous and severe it gets in that season of your life and how careful you need to be." She said, her tone laced with disbelief as if she was trying to say, 'You're supposed to know that!'As if that wasn't enough, she pressed on, "If truly the season is upon you again, then you really have to reconsider your plans of leaving the pack." She strongly advised, her

    ASHER.My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Elder Ambrose, who cleared his throat to seek my attention.As soon as I turned to face him, he began to speak, "Umm, Alpha," he said as calmly as he could, with an awkward smile on his face."What Elder Bernard is trying to say is this: for someone as merciless as the vampire queen, we're afraid she wouldn't hesitate to wage war against us if..." He was still speaking when I swiftly interrupted him."So, are you asking me to relinquish our authority to her?" I questioned in a stern voice.At my words, the both of them quickly lowered their heads. "We dare not, Alpha." They responded in unison, and after about five more seconds, Elder Ambrose's voice came again, "We are not asking that you give up our pack to a stranger; we're only asking you to put every possibility into consideration." He pressed on while Elder Bernard nodded his head.Despite his effort to keep his voice steady, the fear underlying it was unmistakable. As for the pac

    Asher.The news of the vampire queen's visit had spread like wildfire throughout the pack, stirring rumours and unease among my pack members.It was due to the growing uneasiness that I had summoned my two most trusted elders and the pack's physician. I knew I had to alleviate the pack's anxiety, and since I was determined to safeguard my territory, I decided to share my thoughts with them."I'm sure you've all heard about the vampire queen's outrageous request." I stated as soon as they settled into their seats."Yes, Alpha!" The three of them chorused. Their voices tinged with scepticism."Alpha, I must confess that my heart has never been at peace ever since she came to our pack. I'm glad you've called for this meeting." It was Elder Ambrose who spoke, and from the tone of his voice, I needed no one to tell me he was being careful with his words."Good!" I said with a steady voice. "Now, that's why I've called the three of you here today, to inform you of what I've planned to do."

    ISABELLAAs soon as they left, I felt my anger simmering within me, causing my fists to clench tightly beside me."I've been working in the palace for a long time now, and the Alpha had never noticed me, but this Xenra that came in a few months ago has been favoured by both the princess and the Alpha." I reasoned.As my thoughts stretched on, my lips twisted in fury, and my gaze drifted into space.As I stood there brooding over my wrath, I felt a rising determination within me, and a great sense of urgency surged within me. My mind began to race with calculations."If this continues, the Alpha might as well make her the chief maiden someday." The words dropped into my heart, and my eyes bulged.Right there, I knew I had to do something, as I couldn't afford to let that happen. My fists clenched tighter, and I nibbled on my lip as I sought what to do."There's no way I'd sit still and watch Xenra steal my place right under my nose." I resolved within me.I needed no one to tell me tha

    ISABELLAAs I stepped into the kitchen, my attention was immediately drawn to the two maids on the other side, who were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice my presence.I had wanted to sanction them for neglecting their chores and indulging in gossip until one of them said something that halted me in my tracks."No, Christy, she's lucky and privileged." Her words made my brows draw together, and I began to wonder who they were talking about.I carefully trailed my steps and took cover behind the shelves in an attempt to keep my presence hidden, and since I was still close to them, I heard the first one speak again."How can you say she isn't fortunate when, within a short time of her arrival, she started working for the Alpha as his personal maid?" She asked, her voice tight and certain."She hasn't even spent up to three months in the pack, and she's already been promoted to work closely with the Alpha." Her words dripped with hatred as she complained, and I s

    RoyceI was still trying to get myself to say something to my mother when her voice came again."Why would you even think of such a thing? Have you forgotten that Xenra and the Alpha are ex-lovers?" The disbelief she had felt echoed in her tone as she spoke."I know, mother, how could I forget a thing like that?" I responded, even though I wasn't expecting an answer from her.Seeing the worry on her face etching deeper, I quickly continued."Mother, I know what you're concerned about, but you have to trust me; I won't act recklessly." I urged, my words dripping calmly as I stared at her."This looks reckless already, Royce!" She quickly answered."Why would you even consider a thing like that? How could you think the vampire queen would agree to work with us to take down the alpha?" She questioned, her strained voice ringing with anxiety.From the look on her face, it was clear she was frightened already, and I knew I had to assure her and put her mind at ease."The thing is, I'm not

    Royce"My son!" My mother's voice rang with excitement as I returned back to my home after five days of being away.I could see a great sense of relief dawning on her as she stared at me, and I needed no one to tell me she had never been at peace ever since I left."Mother, I'm back." I responded with a smile on my face to assure her that she had nothing to worry about."Yes, my son," she answered, nodding her head fervently, and fell into my embrace as I drew her in. "It's so nice to have you back." Her voice came again in a soft whisper."You don't know how worried I've been." She stated, her words breathy, wrapped in the relief she had felt from my presence.I broke the embrace, and my smile broadened as I stared into her eyes."You worry too much, Mother," I said with a broad smile on my face."See," I gestured with my other hand for her to take a good look at me. "I'm fine." My words were wrapped with a chuckle as I assured her, while she nodded her head again as her smile broade
