XenraAs soon as I heard Akira's voice, a great sense of ease settled in my heart. I took a deep breath and puffed out the fear that had earlier settled in my heart."Thank you, moon goddess," I said under my breath. I had just been saved from the claws of Asher and his unreasonable mate. Akira's presence was my saviour, and for that I was grateful.As Akira walked into the hall, my lips curled into a smirk. "It seems it's going to be entertaining; let's watch and see who that unreasonable Asher would take side with," I muttered under my breath.As I stared at Akira's approaching figure, I couldn't help but ponder who Asher would pick a side with: 'Is he going to choose his sister or that psychopath of a mate?' I pondered beneath my breath.Akira's face was etched with a frown as she took determined steps closer. "That's never going to happen," she reiterated with a firm voice."You can't just come here and decide what's going to happen in my brother's pack. This is not your brother's
XenraThe dining hall was usually quiet as they feasted on their meals. With a variety of dishes to be served, I stood behind Akira at my spot, waiting for further directives from any of them.What felt like feigned serenity was suddenly shattered by Akira."Talking about the scar on your face, there are rumours that Xenra, the vampire queen, is back," Akira stated without taking her eyes off her meal.At her words, my eyes flew open, and my heart skipped a beat. 'What does she mean by Xenra, I am back?' I wondered within me.As soon as Asher started speaking, I snapped at the thoughts that had gotten me busy; I couldn't miss out on that conversation."Really? Where did you get that from?" He asked, his gaze fixed on Akira, who was still busy with her meal."Well, I just came back from my mate to be, The news is everywhere. You know how popular and influential she is. People are saying she just came back and claimed to go on an exile to gain more powers and get herself equipped," Akir
XenraWith heavy feet, I dragged myself back to my tiny room; my heart wasn't exempted as well; it was both heavy and broken. With the conversation in the dining hall replaying in my head, I was filled with both fear and sadness. I couldn't stop considering the possibilities of what might happen. "What if it was true? What if Lenhandro had someone else impersonate me?" But in that tiny room, I was all by myself with no one to provide answers to my questions. The thought of it alone broke my heart, even as I dwelled on Lenhandro's treachery. Right there, the scenes of his betrayer replayed in my head, and all that I had gone through ever since I occupied this body, and as I dwelled on it, I felt my tears welling up in my eyes. "Or could it be that when that reincarnation happened, my body went to someone else's spirit?" I thought out loud, and as I pondered my thoughts, I realised it was possible. Right there, I realised that I had read something like that back then
XenraFeeling so sad and broken, I sat on the floor. I had cried myself into exhaustion and was too weak to move an inch. My bones felt broken, and as I dwelled on my present reality, a great sense of misery overwhelmed me.It was the approaching footsteps in the corridor that snapped me out of my thoughts. As I tried to make sense of what was happening, my door suddenly burst open, revealing Leah, who marched into my room, but she wasn't alone; right beside her were some other Omegas.Seeing the determination on their faces, I knew they had come for trouble, even though I wasn't in the mood to engage in any form of conversation with Leah and her gang."So this is where you are!" Leah spat, her words dripping with so much hatred for me. The rest of the maids had their hands folded across their chests as they waited for what would happen next.Ever since I came to the pack, I had always tried to avoid her, since everyone knew she was a bully. The fact that she was very fat made some of
LenaWith the weight of the humiliation I had felt in the dining hall weighing heavily on me, I followed the personal maid that was assigned to me to the chamber prepared for me.As I sat on the four postal beds, my mind kept racing with thoughts, replaying the scenes of Akira's dislike for me.The fact that she had openly humiliated me in the presence of the guards and maids filled me with wrath, and as I pondered on it, I felt an increasing hatred for her. "No, I have to do something, I muttered under breath. I realised that if my plans were to succeed, then I had to be close to Akira.I knew that if I could win her over, it'd be easier to fulfil my goals. Her support for me would increase Asher's trust in me, and then I'd strike when he least expected it.I snapped out of my thoughts and fixed my gaze on the personal maid assigned to me, and right there, something dropped in my heart."Nora!" I called her, who was standing by the door."Yes, my lady," Nora responded with a small v
AkiraI sat on my couch, anger swirling inside of me. The fact that Lena had arrived and that I had to put up with her annoying attitude got me really upset.I couldn't just put up with her arrogance, not when she was both evil and vicious.As my thoughts lingered, the voice of my male servant pierced through my thoughts."Lady Lena is arriving," the male servant announced, causing my brows to drew together in confusion."Did I just hear wrongly? What is Lena looking for in my chambers?" I asked, the confusion I had felt ringing in my tone, and just then, the voice came again."Lady Lena has arrived," the male servant announced again, making me greatly upset."What sort of nonsense is this? Who invited her? Why would she stroll into my chambers like she owned it?" My voice dripped with displeasure as I spoke, and my furrow deepened with anger. The fact that I hated her made me angrier.I turned towards Isabella, who was standing at her post, and asked her, "What happened? Why was I no
Akira"Come on, Akira, we shouldn't be like this," Lena said as calmly as she could, causing me to roll my eyes and scoff in disbelief. How was I supposed to be on good terms with someone as evil as her?"Are you done talking? Now get out of my chambers!" I ordered, unable to stand her presence anymore.Before I could get myself to say something, her voice came again. ,"Why's it that you don't like me? Why do you hate me so much? Did I do some things wrong? No matter how I thought about it, I can't understand why you have so much hatred for me," she stated, her eyes suddenly tender, unlike the vicious Lena I had known.But a leopard never changes his spot. Although I didn't know what game she was playing, I wasn't going to fall for her tricks. The fact she didn't know why I hated her so much is enough for me to know she hadn't done a rethink, not to talk about feeling remorse and repentant for what she had done.Someone who could order for the heads of people because of small mistake
Leo.Right in the garden with my Beta Raymond, my mind kept racing with calculations. I knew for us to achieve our goals, our plans had to be flawless.I couldn't stop thinking about our quest for revenge on Asher and his pack after what they did to us, and as my thoughts lingered, scenes from the past filled my mind.My focus was brought back to reality when I saw one of the guards who had gone with my sister to Asher's pack walking towards me."Alpha!" He reverenced with a bow as soon as he got close enough to where I was standing."What news did you bring?" I asked him, wanting to know everything that happened in the course of their journey."Alpha, lady Lena has arrived safely in Alpha Asher's pack," he answered with his head still bowed.Upon hearing his words, my lips curled into a satisfactory smirk, even as my eyes glinted with determination.A short chuckle escaped my throat as I peered into space. "That's a nice one, good news too," I replied, filling my veins with a greater
XenraWith a renewed determination propelling me forward, I had just taken three steps away from Akira when her voice rang out from behind me, "Xenra!" She called, halting me in my tracks. I spun towards her to find her worry etched on her face, and my mind began to race as I tried to figure out what was the cause of her worry."I need you to do me a favour." Her voice was more like an order than a request. My eyes rolled in thought, and I shook my head and arched my brows, a silent question about what it was she was wanted to ask about."I know this is difficult for you to do, but I beg you, always keep an eye on my brother." She urged, her voice tinged with desperation.My brows scrunched upwards, but before I could get myself to say a word to her, her voice came again."My brother was really into the vampire queen, so I'm talking to you as a woman.""I know that the guards who will go with him might not understand what my brother might do there because they're men, but I'm sure y
XenraAs I got to Asher's courtyard, I felt a pang of hesitation settling into my heart; the thoughts of going back to Maltos' Castle after all that had happened made me nervous.My feet slowed down, and my hands got moist. Deep within me, I was contemplating the scenario. I couldn't stop wondering what would happen to me when I got there. I was worried my longing for my home might make me behave out of character and endanger my life.I was still lost in thoughts when Akira's voice cut through the air. "Xenra!" Her shrill voice snapped me back to the present.My head whipped towards her direction, and as I saw her approaching from the other side of the hallway, I forced a small smile to my face and gave her a small bow."I can see you're ready for the journey," she said with a warm smile on her face.As I heard her words, a nervous twitch parted my lips into a small, awkward smile. Despite how I tried to keep it in, I couldn't just stop my heart from racing.Akira's brows knitted wit
Xenra.With an unwavering determination, I dashed through the path from the hall to my room, and with that same intensity, started arranging my belongings.I was still trying to meet up with time when Zara rushed into the room. "What are you doing?" She asked, her eyes aghast in a mix of shock and surprise."I'm trying to get my things ready," I answered immediately, my words tumbling out with the same intensity brewing within me."I'm going somewhere with the Alpha." I said without taking my eyes off what I was doing; my hands still hovering like a flash over my personal belongings."Okay." Zara muttered barely above a whisper, which caught my attention, but then, I was too busy gathering my belongings to pay attention to her.Unlike the Zara I knew, she walked towards her bunk and sat down quietly. Seven seconds passed and there were no words from her. It was that unusual gesture that forced me out of what I was doing.My head whipped towards her direction to find her shoulder slou
AsherI pushed back whatever irritation I had felt from her touch, and for about five seconds, I struggled to believe what had just happened.The fact that my hand had stopped trembling left my mind muddled, but after about six more seconds, I jolted out of the surprise that had left me stunned.I couldn't afford to give Xenra or Akira the satisfaction of relishing my bewilderment. But before I could put on my mask of nonchalance, Akira's voice cut through the air."You felt relieved, right?" She asked, her tone ringing with excitement, and as she stared at me, I could see the anticipation glinting in her eyes."Yes, I did!" I answered with a fervent nod of the head before it dawned on me. Damn! I guess I was too excited about the quick relief I had felt from the agony to remember that I was supposed to be pretending.At my words, Akira chuckled; she was clearly elated. Without saying another word to me, she turned towards Xenra, who had been standing all along."How did you do it?"
XenraAkira scoffed and turned towards me; I knew she had deliberately decided to ignore his words."Do you really have a solution to his ailment?" She asked, her voice heavy with concern as she stared desperately at me.At her words, I lifted my head and stared at her, "Yes, my lady, I know of a way to calm his trembling hands." I answered calmly, a stark contrast to the anger brewing within me.As soon as the words left my lips, Asher chuckled, the sound of which dripped with mockery. He clearly wasn't amused; he had found my words unbelievable, which I clearly understood. Back then while we were together, his physicians couldn't help him.It had taken a lot of effort from every physician in his pack to try to reduce his trembling. I was the only one who could do it without any medications.I had a way of calming his nerves and made him feel better. It was a secret method no other person knew, not even his physicians. Which was why I was also his physician back then."Are you reall
XenraBefore I could say another word, Asher's voice rang out in anger. "What did you just say?" He asked, his words spilling out in a rush. His furrowed brows deepened as he stared at me.I had expected him to get angry, but since I was determined to grab the opportunity before me, I knew I had to push forward. "I said I know a wa..." I began to say, but before I could complete my words, Asher swiftly cut me off."You bloody fool, were you listening to our conversation?" He questioned, his voice rising with every word. His displeasure at my intrusion echoed in his tone.As he stared at me, he pressed hard on his other hand, attempting to hold it in place. He was doing a good job trying to put it under control."You're supposed to be busy attending to our needs; that's your only job as my slave, not listening to the conversation between my sister and me." He pointed out with the same intensity, as he never missed an opportunity to remind me of my place in his pack."Brother!" Akira
Xenra The 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." A

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
