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
LeoI was still brooding over my hurt when Raymond's voice broke into my thoughts. "I have some news, Alpha, but I don't know if you'd consider it good or bad news," he said with a gentle voice.With my knowledge of Raymond's character, I could tell that whatever the news was must be something great, since the tone of his voice had changed from the fierce determination to a more gentler tone."Speak! What is it about?" I asked without taking my eyes off a particular point in space."I heard that Xenra, the vampire queen, is still alive." Raymond's voice dropped in my heart like a rock, causing ripples of anger to spread all over my veins.As soon as I heard his words, I turned sharply towards him, my lips twitching with a simmering anger."Where did you get that from?" I asked, my voice a raw growl that echoed the anger and determination in my heart."The news is everywhere; everyone is talking about it. From what I heard, she had come back ruthless and stronger." Raymond responded wi
LeoAs I sat on the couch that day, my mind kept racing with calculations, seeking ways to carry out my revenge on both Asher and Xenra.My chain of thought was abruptly cut off by the presence of Raymond, whom I had sent to carry out an investigation on Xenra."Alpha," He greeted me with a small bow and with his hands stretched out in front of his lowered forehead.I quickly waved him up and dove into my major concern,"Tell me, how did it go?" I asked him, and my words tumbled out almost in a rush as I stared at his face."According to the investigation I had carried out, Xenra was last seen with Lenhandro. After Alpha Kent died, nobody saw or heard about her again. They only saw a fat lady running away from his chambers, but Xenra wasn't there," Raymond informed me.At his words, my forehead creased as my mind began to travel around, with countless possibilities.If Xenra wasn't there, then who killed him?I was still trying to wrap my head around the possibilities when Raymond's v
XenraI watched with a heavy heart as the guards carried their belongings to the horses. Although I had arranged my belongings and had taken them outside, I couldn't find the courage to take them to the horses that were already prepared for departure.While they went about their businesses, I found myself walking towards the entrance of the palace hall, where I stood a few feet away.As I fixed my gaze on the inscription above the door of the palace hall, where "Maltos' castle" was boldly written,A great sense of nostalgia washed over me, evoking memories of my reign as the vampire queen, dressed in my regalia and escorted by Marcus during my official duties.As the memories lingered, I felt greatly reluctant to leave. A great pang of sadness settled in my heart, and longing tugged along, especially since I knew I had to leave, and as I gave in to those feelings within me, I swore,"I promise you, I'll come back home as who I really am and not as a stranger in my home." My gaze fix
XenraAs I resolved within myself, the soft rattling on the door snapped me out of the thoughts that had kept me busy.In that instant, I jolted and began to walk towards the door, but after two steps, I halted in my tracks."Wait, what has gotten over you?" I mused, my brows deeply furrowed as I pondered why I was behaving frantically.But I didn't even have the time to ponder it, as the rattle on the door snapped me back to action.In that instant, I snapped back to the present, took a deep breath, and straightened my spine, even as I prepared myself for whatever was coming.I had thought it was Lena or one of those people I didn't want to see, like Asher or the impersonator, so I prepared myself for any upcoming confrontation.As I walked gently this time around to the door, I heard the unmistakable voice of Marcus, "It's me, my lady." He said, with a small, hushed tone.As soon as I heard his voice, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding and doubled my steps to the door.
XenraMy steps were fast as I dashed through the part that led to my room. With a loud bang, I slammed the door shut, feeling my heart banging hard against my chest."What was I looking at?" I muttered beneath my breath, wondering why I had stood still like an idiot, watching Asher and Lena have their intimate moment.No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't understand what got me so entranced that I forgot my senses.But as my thoughts lingered, I felt a looming anger within me, gradually coursing through my veins, until I was completely absorbed in it.I was angry that I had seen them kissing; I was angry about the fact that I had bumped into them at that very moment; I was angry that I was affected by it; and I was more angry that I was angry about it."What is really wrong with me?" I asked and paced back and forth, sighing in frustration with a loud puff of breath.Ever since that night with Asher, I haven't been myself. I just couldn't understand why it felt so difficul
Asher"What are you still doing? Get out!" Lena ordered, the anger laced in her voice unmistakable."How dare you stare at us that way?" She glared at Xenra, who was standing with her head lowered."See how you were looking at us as if you wanted my man to yourself," Lena spat, her voice heavy with menace. "Just because you were able to help alleviate his symptoms, you think you have the right to be where we are?" Lena threw her question to Xenra, who clearly couldn't get herself to say a word to her.I opened my mouth to speak, but after about two seconds, I closed it and pushed back the words that had formed in my throat back to the pit of my stomach.I wanted to tell Lena that it was enough; I wanted to tell her she was being too harsh on Xenra, but then, I knew I shouldn't.I didn't want Lena to get suspicious of anything or even have an opinion. So I had to refrain from intervening in it.Yet, Lena wasn't satisfied with what she had just said, as she continued talking down on Xe
AsherWith my mind deeply engrossed in thought, I found myself walking towards the patio. As I settled into the couch in the middle, my gaze fell on the peace lilies beside the screen wall. Although the sight of the blooming lilies was calming, my mind drifted yet again, back to the scene of that night—the night I had with Xenra.No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't stop the flashbacks that had continuously plagued my mind like flies, buzzing around me at the faintest opportunity.Although the sex I had with her was purely out of impulse, I just couldn't understand why I was unable to move on from that night; I couldn't understand why I was so affected by what had happened between us.As I gave myself fully to it all, the unmistakable voice of my wolf, Aanon, resonated within me."I think she's familiar," Aanon's voice rumbled within me, snapping me out of her looming presence."What do you mean?" I asked him, curious about what he was talking about."She feels like someone w

LeoThe Seer's furrowed brows slackened as he gradually returned from his trance-like state, and his long white eyebrows dangled as he heaved a sigh.Having spent ten minutes already in my office, as still as a rock, looking as though he was having a mind talk with his ancestors, I felt like he had spent almost forever."Speak! What did you see?" I ordered, my words laced with impatience.I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say about what really happened that night. Deep within me, I was hoping for a different story from what the other Seers had told me,A story that would prove my suspicion and all that I had always believed to be true."Asher wasn't the one that killed your father," his calm and gentle voice rumbled in the atmosphere like a gentle waterfall. "...but the person who killed your father is taking refuge in Asher's pack," he said.My lips twisted and twitched as a great sense of anger surged within me. My fists, which were resting on my mahogany desk, clenched into f
XenraMy eyes screwed shut, and I puffed out a deep sigh as soon as the door closed behind me.My heart ached, and a mix of emotions gushed through me.The scenes from last night kept swerving around me like a torrent, intensity all I was feeling inside.A profound sadness, deeply rooted in my heart, collided with a looming disappointment, leaving me shattered, broken, and utterly overwhelmed. I felt miserable.I felt as though I had lost touch with myself. I felt like a total stranger in the skin that embodied me; I felt like a complete loser.Although I wasn't mad at Asher, I was even surprised at how calmly he reacted to it; I just couldn't help feeling sad and angry about how I had become a total stranger to myself.My eyes welled up with tears as my present reality settled in me, and I couldn't stop the sob that threatened to break forth from my lips.My hands flew to my mouth as I tried to stifle the sob, but my tears rolled down my cheeks like a broken dam, gushing forth with r
AsherSlowly, my eyes fluttered open. The overwhelming sunlight streaming through the window felt too intense for me to handle, and my brows drew together as a sharp, piercing pain hit my head.I tried to lift my hand to soothe my head, but I felt too weak to even lift my arm. It felt as though logs of wood were pressing down on me, and as though all my strength had jerked out of my body during my shivering.After much effort, I finally managed to touch my head, which throbbed painfully against my hand, and as I brought it down, I felt something beside me—definitely the soft skin of a woman.At that instant, my head whipped towards my right to see the fat maid lying half-naked beside me.The sight of her made my eyes bulge and caused my brows to scrunch up in a mix of surprise and confusion.Scenes strolled past me, and as I struggled to recall what had really happened and why she was lying beside me like that, her eyes snapped open, meeting my gaze. Quickly, she grabbed the blanket
