On 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 surprise. What help could he possibly want from the tiny man?
“W-what do you… want me to do?” The man stuttered. “I'll do anything, I swear. Please spare me,” he pleaded desperately.
I was certain he wasn't bluffing. In the face of death, people become desperate, willing to go to any length for a grasp of life.
Alpha Asher strolled to him and placed a friendly army on his shoulder. Asher’s deadly calm has the man sweating profusely.
“It is quite simple. I want to tell everyone you come across that my territory is off limits for any form of slave trade, be it a blood slave or a sex slave. Feel free to share your story and tell them what happened to your men. Do not leave out any detail,” Asher instructed.
“Because if anyone flaunts my orders, there would be no survivor to tell the story,” his voice deepened in a low, deadly whisper that sent goosebumps all over my skin.
The slaver looked a lot worse. Like the words were slicing off every layer of his skin.
“Yes, yes, yes,” the slaver bopped his head nonstop. “I will tell everyone, Alpha. No one will come even two hundred meters close to your territory. This… this will be the last time, I promise.”
Asher always had this oppressing presence, but it seemed to have gotten more intense as he grew older.
It was incredibly sexy.
Asher nodded curtly, “For your sake, I hope it is. You are free to go now, but if you are unfortunate enough to fall into my hands again in the course of slave trading, you will be begging for death.”
With that, the man fled as his life depended on it.
When he disappeared into the darkness, my gaze returned to my ethereal knight in shining armour. He had grown more beautiful than I last saw him.
My eyes matched hungrily to his skin, taking in every bit of him I'd missed in the last twelve years.
It was weird to feel that thing thumping heavily in my chest but I didn't mind. The poor heart could beat as hard as it wanted as long as I got the chance to taste this sinfully gorgeous man again.
Didn't he say something about being a sex slave earlier? Looks like I'd be begging him to take me as his soon.
“You!” He snapped and I blinked. He must have noticed my thirsty stare. “Look at me that way again and I will gouge out your eyeballs and feed them to you!”
For some reason, it struck a nerve.
He was still the same arrogant angry youth I knew back in the day. I glared at him with all my might as the memories flowed through my mind.
The arguments, the abandonments, the heartbreaks!
Why did I always get entangled with the worst kind of these species?
To think the other man whom I had turned to in hope of forgetting the heartbreak inflicted on me by this moron ripped my heart out of my chest while whispering sweet nothings to me?!
“How dare you?!” I growled, taking all of them by surprise. I was ready to attack the bastard and pour all the misery and frustration on him, but it seemed like my body was too weak to handle the fury, so I wobbled.
I expected to hit the ground but fell into the arms of another instead. As the blanket of darkness enveloped me, I caught the indifferent irritated look in his eyes.
As usual, while I could barely control my emotions and desires for him, he remained the ball of ice from years ago.
Irritated. Uncaring. Unfeeling.
I mentally gave him the middle finger. No matter what my rebound, Lenhandro had done to me, dumping Asher remained the best decision of my life.

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

XenraRight before me was standing the annoying dwarf with an annoying grin on his face. The sight of it filled me with a great sense of rage.The fact that he had laid his filthy fingers on me made my blood boil. At that instant, I felt strength running through my veins, fuelled by his audacious move."What do you want?" I asked, my words filled with anger as I glared at him. "Shhhh!" He gestured at me to keep my voice down. "You're a fair lady, exactly my preferred type of woman; how about we have a little fun? You can call it fun after work," he said, his words wrapped with chuckle.Deep within me, I was beginning to boil over. The fact that somebody like him could see me as his type made me nibble on my lip as I tried to control the furnace brewing within me.I was doing my best to keep my anger in check and not grant him the death sentence he deserved for laying his cursed hands on me.My face was tight with a simmering anger, but the idiot didn't get my warning as he walked clo

Xenra"Explain what?" The chief security latrine officer yelled, his voice cracking with anger. His face was tight with a mix of embarrassment and fear.From the expression on his face, I could tell he was scared of me exposing his abuse.I turned to all the faces present right there, and right there it hit me again that I was all alone. I had savoured the effect of my blow on him, but I had totally forgotten that I was no longer the vampire queen and was totally at the mercy of those people.Nobody would come to my rescue if it got worse, not even Alpha Asher, that cold-blooded demon. The realisation of it filled me with fear and made me desperate. Desperate to clear my name."Take her down!" He ordered. His guards, who looked like his puppets, at his order, kicked at the hollow of my knees.I had sent their chief flying with just one mighty blow; deep within, I knew I could withhold their kicks. But after the first kick, I realised I had used up all the strength left in me when I ga

LenaAs I brooded over my wrath, an unexpected voice broke out from behind me, "I'm sorry for what just happened, my lady." The voice calmly apologised.My head whipped towards the person who had just spoken, and my gaze fell on Asher's beta, Royce, who was standing behind me, and my brows furrowed."What are you doing here?" I asked, glaring at him, "What are you sorry for?"But the words had barely left my lips when Royce began to speak, "I saw what happened at the dining hall, and I'm really sorry that the Alpha and his sister had to disrespect you all because of an ordinary maid." Royce boldly responded.His audacity irked me, and I wondered what gave him the nerve to think he had the right to interfere in my business.As I stared at him, I felt my anger boiling within me, and I was determined to put him in his place so that next time, he wouldn't dare speak when he wasn't supposed to."Before I came to this pack, I did some background checks, and I heard about you, Royce," I bega

LenaI was filled with disgust as I watched that fat maid stand close to Asher, and a great sense of anger surged within me as she served the meal she had prepared for dinner.My fists clenched beneath the table as I stared at her. If only I could sniff her breath off her nostrils, I would have done that already.The fact that I had to see her at every meal made me so angry.Akira and Asher were busy chatting about some random topic, but I was so immersed in my surging wrath and hatred for her to pay attention to what they were discussing."This meal smells good," Akira's compliment finally caught my attention, and I turned towards her to find a wide grin on her face as she spoke to Asher.Asher nodded his head in response, a flicker of excitement in his eyes, which alone was like fuel to the rage swirling inside of me.As if that wasn't enough, he continued, "You need to taste the soup pudding she made the other day." His voice was calm and approving.Asher's words dropped into my he

LenaMy steps were heavy with determination as they carried me out of Asher's room. Deep within me, I was seething.The fact that Asher wasn't even certain about when he would take me as his mate greatly infuriated me."He's so nonchalant about it and isn't even ready to take me as his mate." I said to myself, my voice heavy with anger.I didn't need anyone to tell me about it; I could see how unprepared he was to do the right thing, and I knew I had to do something."If he continues like this, it'd greatly affect my plans of revenge and that of my brother's as well. I really need to do something about this." I muttered beneath my breath.My fists were clenched tightly beside me in a matching determination as my steps carried me out of the palace.I wanted to seek out a quiet corner where I could pour out my frustration and anger, and so I headed straight to the hall that led out of the palace.As my anger propelled me forward, I recalled how I had caught Asher staring at that fat mai

AsherAs I stood beside my window that day, peering into the distance, I couldn't take my mind off the soup pudding prepared by Xenra.The taste of it made me nostalgic, and a reminiscence of my past with Xenra, the vampire queen, began to flood my mind.No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't shake the fact that it tasted exactly the same as the ones I'd eaten years ago, so unique and different from that of the chefs in my palace."The only person that had made a soup pudding that way was Xenra." I admitted it.Although Xenra, the vampire queen, never liked cooking, she made soup pudding for me every time I visited her and anytime she came to my pack.As I pondered it, something about the unique flavour and their similar taste got me curious, and my attention shifted to my maid Xenra."Why are they so similar?" I couldn't help but ponder aloud.As my thoughts lingered, I began to compare their personalities, and despite the fact that one was a queen in her palace and the other a

RoyceSince it was the beginning of a new season; that time of the year again when the maids would be reshuffled to different departments, I got to the open patio where the Alpha was, to prepare a new roster for them.As I went about my business, allocating them to different departments according to their names on the register, the Alpha swiftly interrupted me as soon as I mentioned the name of that fat maid."Put her in charge of my meal," he ordered calmly.My head jerked up as soon as I heard his words, and my brows furrowed in confusion. No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't understand why Xenra should be in charge of Asher's meal when she wasn't even a chef."Why, sir?" My question tumbled out of my lips even before my brain could follow. I was too confused to pay attention to the difference between us.The words had already left my lips before I realised I was being too blunt with the Alpha again."I mean..." I swiftly continued, "There are many qualified chefs in th

LenaA wave of disgust hit me as soon as I saw that fat maid standing so close to Asher, and a mix of anger and hatred surged within me.As soon as Asher saw me, he stepped away from her, while I stared at Asher, whose face betrayed no emotions."You can serve the soup," Asher instructed her, who quickly turned towards the dining table and began to serve what was inside the dish.As I stood, I caught a final glimpse of Xenra; my anger burnt within me. If only I could just sniff the life out of her nostrils.I pulled my gaze from her and forced a small smile to my face as I stepped into Asher's royal private dining hall."Hope everything is alright?" I asked as calmly as I could, even though deep within me, I was seething."Yes," Asher firmly responded, "why did you ask?" He enquired, staring at me now.But I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head in nonchalance. "Nothing," I replied, "I'm just surprised to see you standing so close to the maid.""Hope there's nothing wrong?" I asked

XenraMy steps were heavy as they carried me to the royal kitchen, to the private space where Asher and Akira's meal was made.My face was tight with anger as I reached for the door. No matter how I thought about it, I just couldn't comprehend why Asher would ask me to make soup pudding for him, even though I didn't work in the kitchen.The fact that I had to make it for him greatly annoyed me, but since I didn't want to get into any trouble with him, I knew I had to do it."Where is the damn pot?" I asked frustratedly, even though there was no other person in the royal kitchen.It seemed Asher had given them orders to vacate the kitchen as well; that was the only reason I could find for why the royal kitchen was empty when the chefs were supposed to be getting ready for dinner.After angrily scanning through the shelves, I saw the stack of pots and swiftly carried one of them.As I placed it in the sink and filled it with water, I began to ponder that absurd task again."But wait, wh

XenraI swiftly shut my door behind me and rushed towards my bed, where I had hidden the book beneath it.Deep within me, I could feel a surge of energy twirling within me, and I wanted to be certain of what I was feeling inside.What happened in the field had only opened my eyes, and I needed no one to tell me it wasn't a mistake.I had to find answers to what was happening; I wanted to be sure it was my powers coming back to me.I opened the book and started flipping through the pages when the rattle in the door snapped me off from what I was doing.In that instant, I quickly closed it and slid it back under the bed, wondering who it could be at that hour of the day.I knew it couldn't be Zara since we had separated earlier for her to go do her duties.As soon as I opened the door, I was shocked to find Akira standing before me. After about three seconds, I quickly regained my senses and rushed out of the room."My lady," I called with a small bow, "Greetings, my lady!""Greetings,

AsherI stood beside my window that day, my gaze fixed on the garden beside my room. Although my gaze was fixed on the peach blossoms, my mind had pierced through them and had drifted far away, back to that night.Gradually, my mood was affected again, and a great sense of sadness settled in my heart, as I began to ponder Xenra's attitude towards me ever since then.I didn't need anyone to tell me she had deliberately been avoiding me. The fact that she didn't turn up for her duty all through the previous day only confirmed my initial suspicion, and the fact that I hadn't seen her for days made my veins itch.As my thoughts lingered, I found myself muttering beneath my breath, "But what did I do to her? Why's she really avoiding me?"The realization that I didn't have answers to those questions almost sent me into a well of depression.I was so lost in my thoughts and I didn't notice that Akira had snuck up on me again. "Is someone lost in thoughts?" Her voice sliced through the thi
