Xenra

I 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 into my neck. The effect of whatever drug he injected into my system was rapid. 

I could feel it zapping off the little strength I had left. My feet were suddenly unclawed and I hit the ground. Would have appreciated it if they let me a little closer to the ground.

My body was lifted by a couple of men and I was laid on the floor. My vision blurred out, blocking me from getting a proper look at what they were doing. 

“Give her the exclusive space stamp. This baby right here is going to fetch us a lot of money. I can feel it.”

The minute I felt something press against the back of my palm, a new feeling replaced the weakness. 

Anger.

All the events of the night hit me at once intensifying the fury coursing through my veins. 

This night has been nothing but an embarrassment. I, Xenra, the once dreaded vampire Queen was reduced to a wolfless omega and lowly blood slave in one night! 

Now these weak ordinary men spoke about using me for money? There was only much humiliation I could take.

I've had enough!

The haziness cleared in an instant and I grabbed the wrist of the slaver stamping me. Gripping it tightly within my fists, I forcefully snapped it.

A loud cry escaped his lips, and I seized the stamp from him, burying it deep in his left eye. A whip lashed on my back and I let go, slumping weakly. 

“Kill that thing! She's a monster!”

“I'm sorry, man. I didn't expect she would still have the strength to attack after I injected her. You know how these things work! We can't just let her waste.”

He took a closer look at the damage I had done to the slaver. The man was still cursing and groaning with blood streaming from his eyes.

He grabbed the whip angrily and hit me again and again until I could barely breathe.

Once again, my vision began to blur. 

 In the midst of this chaos, it seemed that someone, or a group of people, was rapidly approaching. 

At first, I feared it was possibly the wolves chasing me from earlier. I didn't know which was better. Getting captured by slavers or Alpha Kent's men.

The slavers gathered together, nervously glancing at each other as they contemplated the next step to take.

If I weren't so pissed at them, I would advise them to run but right now, I just wanted this weakness to go away. I wanted my body back!

A mysterious figure stepped under the moonlight. I could barely make out much because of the dizziness, but the long, curled dark hair falling over the sides of his face and the godly masculinity suggested he was handsome.

However, he wasn't alone. A pack of wolves joined him but they looked nothing like regular wolves. They were unusually large with piercing golden eyes and thick dark fur. From their stance and the power they commanded, one could tell they were elites. 

Special werewolf combat team that could take down even the strongest of creatures. I recognized them because they were a threat to even us, vampires. 

"Why did you come to my territory?" The rich, deep voice felt like a coat of silk in the harsh, airy night. His calmness was almost as threatening as the ruthless-looking wolves beside him.

But that wasn't the problem. 

Even in a thick blanket of dizziness, I recognized that voice. A voice that once drove me to heights of ecstasy.

One that belonged to none other than a former werewolf lover.

Alpha Asher.

This night couldn't get any worse.

    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

    Xenra"Take this," The rench keeper threw a bucket my way, which I instinctively caught—a habit I was used to.Before my betrayal, I had grown accustomed to the habit of catching whatever was thrown my way. Although it was a game I had always played with Lenhandro. Like they say, 'old habit dies hard,' even that chubby body couldn't stop my old habit.Luckily for me, this time around there weren't any dung or splashes on my face; otherwise, I probably would have learnt how to stick my hands by my side the next time and skilfully avoid it."Go to the barn and clear their dung," he ordered, his words dripping mercilessly.Did he think it was a delight to be a dung remover? As much as I wanted to tell him to go do it himself if he thought it easy, I had to nibble on my lip to stop myself from speaking back at him and mentally tell him to go off.He had threatened to cut off my lunch the next time I challenged him like I did the previous night, and ever since I perceived the sumptuous aro

    Xenra"Huh!" His words slammed through me, and at that instant, realisation hit me. "Yes, you heard me right. I'll send you to the human waste session so that you can pack their excretes. That way perhaps you'd learn how to be careful." The man's words tumbled out in a rush, bearing the weight of his anger."No, no," I shook my head fervently. How can that happen to me? I had endured the humiliation of taking care of cow dung; how can they further humiliate me like that?Working at the drainage session is the height of it; I couldn't even imagine myself doing that.Well, since I saw myself in this worthless body, I had been subjected to everything I never imagined, but they should at least give me a similar face.'No! I am going to have another chance; even if I had to beg for it, I would. "Plea...se ssi..." I began to say, but the man was way too angry to listen to me."Guards." His voice rang with anger. Just then, the men who had walked in earlier walked closer."Take this worthl

He added, his words laced with certainty.Somehow he had managed to link it up to that annoying fat maid again, but his praises and admiration for her had only fuelled my resentment towards her.No matter how much he tried to portray her in a good light, all I felt towards her was hatred and anger. Right then, I realised she could stand in my way since she was able to resuscitate the dying Alpha."She's in no way unique," I finally voiced out the thoughts that had kept me busy, causing Sylvester's head to whip towards me, as though he had been pondering something.But before he could say a word, I added, "In fact, she's a threat to me.

    RoyceMy fists clenched beside me as I watched the Alpha gradually regain his breath pace. Deep within me, I was seething; my teeth were gritted as I stared furiously at him.I wanted to kick and hit hard against the wall at his narrow escape from death's grip, but since I wasn't alone, I knew I had to keep my anger in."The Alpha needs to get some rest." It was the annoying fat Omega's voice that pierced through the fog of anger that had settled in my heart.If it were before, she would have been the one to excuse us, while I stayed watch over the Alpha, but at that moment, I saw it as an opportunity to slip out of his presence and let my anger out.'After all, who cares if anything happens to him while I'm away? It'd be an opportunity to get rid of two birds with one lucky opportunity.' I pondered within myself.With a small bow of my head towards the feeble Alpha whose face was beginning to bubble up with life again, I made my way out of his sight, my steps heavy with determination

    XenraSince it was still early, I made my way into Maltos' palace in an attempt to get as much information as I could.I needed to get into my secret chambers before the guards assumed their various posts. I knew I had to do it discretely and not attract any attention to myself.As I casually walked towards the hallway that led to my secret library, I was deeply engrossed in the thoughts of conveying the secret book to the room given to me when I saw maids and guards running helter skelter in and out of the chamber that used to be mine.My curiosity piqued, and I swiftly walked towards one of the guards."Excuse me," I called his attention, which halted him in his tracks. "What is going on?" I asked the guard, who was already panting really hard."It's the Alpha; he's having his seizure, and nobody can help," his words tumbled out in one breath."The vampire queen can't help as well; he's..." He was still trying to catch his breath when I dashed into the room.I didn't need him to com

    Asher.My eyes slowly opened to the brightness of a new day, and my vision gradually adjusted to the smiling face of the vampire queen, who was staring down at me."Are you okay?" I asked, my brows furrowing as I stared at her.At my words, she nodded her head fervently, and the smile on her face broadened."I am," she said. "I was just admiring your handsome face. I love how you were sleeping like a baby, the peace you exuded, the calmness." She chuckled."You were really good last night," she purred. "It has been a long time since I had such great sex." Her voice was filled with warmth as she basked in the afterglow of great sex.For about five seconds, I couldn't get myself to respond to her; the Xenra I knew had never complimented me before, no matter how good the sex was.She had always held onto her pride, demanding I admit to how good she was. This total reversal of hers was really weird.It was that realisation that left me speechless, but after about five seconds, I snapped o

    AsherBefore I could get myself to say another word to her, she pressed on,"I know what that portrait is all about; I know it was me in my teens. I was only trying to pull your leg." She explained calmly, although the crease in her forehead spoke otherwise."Oh," I responded calmly, even though deep within me I was satisfied with what she had just said.As if she could read my thoughts, she continued, "Come on, Asher, it's been a while; I only wanted to have fun with you. You don't have to give me that serious look." She said, her words tinged with desperation.At her words, I forced a small smile to my face and said, "Yeah, I understand." Even though deep within me, I understood nothing.A cloud of silence descended upon us, and after about six seconds of not saying a word to each other, her voice came again."Anyways, let's talk about something else," she said. "How about your mate?"My brows twitched at her words, and I began to wonder what she was trying to do. "She's fine," I

    Asher"Oh, that portrait?" The vampire queen responded with a smile on her face and placed her hand on the portrait as though she was admiring it.But from the glint in her eyes, she looked as if she was thinking about something, which made my brows crease slightly, and I began to wonder what was going on.Xenra would never hesitate to share the story she had always delighted in. It was one of the things she loved talking about, and even though she hardly expressed her emotions, the excited glint in her eyes whenever she shared that story always betrayed her stoic composure. As I sat calmly observing her reaction, my smile remained plastered on my face, even as I attempted to maintain a friendly air around us."Well, there's nothing really special about it, apart from the fact that it has always brought smiles to my face whenever I stare at it." She answered after about seven seconds had passed, her words wrapped in warmth, After which she pulled her head backwards and burst into la

    AsherWe arrived in Maltos' Castle to find the vampire queen and her entourage waiting for us at the entrance of her mansion. As soon as I stepped down from the chariot, she walked towards me, "Asher!" She exclaimed, her eyes glinting with warmth,"What a pleasant surprise!" Her words were wrapped with warmth as we closed up the distance between us."I just wanted to surprise you, vampire queen." I answered in a matching intensity even though there was no smile on my face."I wasn't really happy you had to go through the stress of coming to my pack when you could have just given the orders, and I'd be there." I added calmly.At my words, the vampire queen's lips spread into a barely noticeable smile, which complimented the image of the Xenra I had in my head."That's so thoughtful of you," she responded calmly.I was still trying to accept the reflection of the old Xenra when the vampire queen took my hand and placed a tender kiss on the back of my palm.Her actions made my brows scr

    Xenra"Please, Alpha, I'm so tired; I'm drained, there's no iota of strength left in me, and I'm about to faint." I pressed on, my voice breaking as I stared straight into Asher's eyes.But he stood there with his hands hanging on his waist, his forehead deeply furrowed in frustration, yet he didn't say a word to me.From the expression on his face, I didn't need anyone to tell me how angry he was, but then, I also knew he was doing his best to keep his anger in.But since he seemed unyielding to my pleas, I pressed further, despite the fact that he was seething. "Please, Alpha, can I just go back to the pack?" I asked again, "I don't want to be a burden to you anymore."But as soon as the words left my lips, he flared up, "Indeed! You won't just turn back and go to the pack; you'll turn back and go to the land of the dead, where you'd never return!" He stated, his voice heavy with anger, as his words tumbled out in a rush.His anger was clearly written on his face as he growled.At

    XenraMy lips curled into a smirk as I watched Asher's Beta, Royce, climb into the chariot. Deep within me, I was glad my plan was working. As we continued our journey, I couldn't help but savour the fact that I had put up a good show."This is just the beginning," I muttered under my breath.As I dwelled in the euphoria of the moment, I resolved deep within myself to leave a lasting impression in the heart of Asher, for I was determined to get his attention and make him conscious of me.I wasn't going to relent in getting my way back into his life, and nothing would stop me from doing so.As I dwelled on it, I felt my blood boil with a fierce determination."By the time I've succeeded in finding my way back into your life, I'll get everything I want and leave you miserable."
