Asher

As we sat on the couch discussing random things, our conversation was suddenly cut off by Lena's question.

"Why did you leave Xenra?" She asked, staring at my face as if she wanted to extract the answers to her question herself.

Although I wasn't expecting her question, I didn't appreciate her asking about my private and personal life.

Even though she was my mate, she had no right to ask about it.

"Nothing," I responded, as I thought of the best answer to give to her. "I didn't feel like we were meant to be together," I added, hoping she would not talk about my past or relationship with Xenra.

I had tried my best not to think about Xenra; thinking or discussing her always made me angry, and since I needed Lena to believe our relationship was true, I didn't want to make her see reasons not to trust me.

"Really?" Her question came as she stared at me with furrowed brows, followed by a short chuckle, even though I didn't understand why she was laughing.

    Xenra My steps quickened as I hurried towards the kitchen to get some fruits for Akira. Filling it with varieties of fruits, I hurried back towards the garden where Akira sat, waiting for my return. I was so engrossed with the thought of performing the task as soon as possible that I didn't notice the approaching figure. Before I could snap out of my head, I collided with someone; the unexpected force sent me off balance. The basket jostled, causing the fruits to fall off the baske in different directions. "I'm so sorry," I swiftly apologised to Lena, who had bumped into me. Well, since I was trying to avoid any confrontation with her, I swiftly apologized. I didn't want to be in her black book or get into any form of trouble. Lena stood still and folded her hands across her chest, while I bent down almost immediately. I finished speaking and started picking the fruits that had rolled in different directions. As I continued to pick the fruits, I was filled with anger. I hated th

    Xenra"You're not yet the Luna, and you should know your place in my pack," Akira stated. Although she spoke gently, there was an unmistakable note of anger in her voice.Lena, at her words, scoffed, her brows arched with disdain."What did you just say, dear sister-in-law?" She asked, her words dripping sarcastically.Deep within me, I was beginning to feel calm; it was high time someone put her in her place. "You heard me right, Lena. This is not your pack; you're not even the Luna. What right do you have to sanction anyone so cruelly?" Akira asked, her voice suddenly tight.Her displeasure was etched on her face, as thick lines creased her forehead.A derisive snort escaped Lena's nostrils. She clearly wasn't going to put up with the charade anymore."I've always endured you talking down on me, especially in the presence of the maids, especially in the presence of those worthless slaves." Lena's voice came in a low growl. Her lips contorted in fury as she stared at Akira with a con

    LeoMy eyes flew open as I jolted out of my dream that afternoon. Although it was a dream, I felt a heavy weight of uneasiness in my heart.The fact that I had the same dream again got me so worried, although I had always known it wasn't an ordinary dream; this time around, I was certain that it was a message from the moon goddess.Filled with worry and concern, I called my Beta. The door immediately opened, revealing Raymond, who walked in."Alpha!" He greeted with a bow, "Rise," I ordered. I was far too concerned about my dream to indulge in his reverence."You sent for me, Alpha. What is the matter?" He asked with a tone that was like that of a soldier who's ready to perform a task,"I keep having this same dream, which means it's a message from the moon goddess," I said, my words laced with a mix of concern and worry."Do you mean the dream you told me about earlier?" He asked, his voice wrapped with scepticism,I nodded my head in response, too engrossed in thought to say a word.

    LeoI stood beside the window in my room, admiring the beauty of the garden on the other side of the courtyard, when my door suddenly burst open.I needed no one to tell me who it was, since he was the only one who could enter my room even without an invitation.Before I could turn around to meet Raymond, his voice came, "Alpha, Alpha, there's trouble," he announced with a breathy voice. From the urgency in his voice, I knew that whatever it was that had gotten him so panicked was really trouble.My brows furrowed when I saw the look on his face. "What is the matter?" I asked, trying to figure out whatever it was that had gotten him so worked up."The vampire queen is here! Xenra is here; she's right in the courtyard!" He announced with his eyes wide open in fright. His voice tumbled out in a rush as he stared at me.My eyes flew open immediately, and my heart skipped a beat. That was quite unexpected. For the next five seconds, my mouth hung open, unable to utter a word.Talking abou

    Leo That was quite unexpected. Her question slammed into me, leaving me calm and collected. Even though my mind was far from being at peace, I managed to betray no emotions. My mind reeled with countless thoughts, and for the next five seconds, I couldn't utter a word. I opened my mouth to say something, but my words felt stuck in my throat, and as I struggled, her question came again, "So?" She asked, her brows arched in a quizzical stare. At that instant, my gaze fell on the carriage she had come with, and I noticed she wasn't alone. She had come with not just ordinary vampires but an entourage of elite warriors. Their build and height alone were already a source of intimidation for the faint-hearted. As I stared on, I realised they were a mix of both vampires and werewolves. At that moment, I realised I had to be careful. "My lady, I don't have to make a decision now. Can you give me some days to think about it and get back to you?" I asked as calmly as I could.

    Leo "What should we do about this situation, Alpha?" Raymond asked, his voice tinged with concern. I took a deep breath, steadying myself before responding, "For now, we wait. That woman isn't Xenra. I would know; I had a crush on her before we became enemies. There was something about her charm, her charisma, that stole my heart long ago." "Alpha, forgive my bluntness, but whether that woman is Xenra or not, our primary concern should be our safety," Raymond said, his voice quivering with fear. "She looks deadly, and if she returns, I doubt she'll have mercy on us." I didn't respond, my eyes trained on the departing figures of Xenra and her men. "The true Vampire Queen doesn't demand respect through force. She earns it," I muttered to myself. "This person isn't Xenra. Something is amiss." My words hung heavy in the air, my resolve steeling with every passing second. If that woman was not Xenra, then who was she? And, more importantly, where was the true Vampire Queen? "Raymond,

    Asher The door to my office suddenly burst open, and my head jerked from the document I was holding to the door; before I could say anything, her voice came. "Is it true that the vampire queen is visiting?" She asked, her tone ringing with excitement as she stared at me. My brows furrowed at her words; it turned out that she had come to my office all because of Xenra. For the next five seconds, I couldn't say a word to her. "Really? The vampire queen is visiting? She asked, and without waiting for another second, she exclaimed with a shrill, high-pitched voice, "Oh my goodness! I'm so excited!" Her eyes dancing with excitement as she took quick, short steps into my office. It turned out that she had come all the way to my office just because of Xenra. "There's nothing to be excited about," I swiftly stated with a stern voice, my face betraying no emotion. Since I got the news about her visit, I had been wondering why she had decided to visit my pack after twelve good years of b

    XenraAs I emerged from the other side of the palace, my attention was suddenly drawn to two maids, who mentioned my name, "Who?" One of them said, causing my brows to furrow."Xenra, the vampire queen," The other one responded. They were busy discussing among themselves.At their words, my curiosity piqued, and I began to wonder what they were talking about, but before I could try to wrap my head around whatever it was, the other one spoke again,"You mean she's coming?" She asked, her tone ringing with surprise, her eyes wide open in shock.From between the flower rows, I saw the other one nod her head in response, while my brows twitched. As I couldn't understand what they meant by the vampire queen coming to Asher's pack."Everyone is so frightened right now, because the last time she came, it didn't end well between her and the Alpha. Now, no one knows what to expect from her visit. Everyone is talking about it and is really scared," she stated with a hushed tone that sounded bar

    AsherAlthough Xenra's words made sense to me, I felt it wasn't the right thing to do in that situation. Deep within me, I knew I had to get to the root of it.I knew I had to confirm all that she had just told us, and not just that; I also needed evidence of Lena and Royce's treason.I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy, and as I fixed my gaze back on Xenra, my determination burnt."I'm not going to tell them Akira is sick," I told her, my words dripping in a matching intensity. "Just as you've suggested, I'll play along with them, but more smartly, so I'll send someone in place of my sister."Akira's head whipped from my face to Xenra's as soon as she heard my words, her brows deeply furrowed.I didn't need anyone to tell me how what I had just said had made her uneasy; it was evident on her face.It seemed as though she was asking Xenra if that was a good idea. But Xenra remained calm; unlike Akira, she betrayed no emotions as she waited for me to go on. Typical of t

    XenraAs soon as the words left my lips, Asher went silent, and Akira didn't utter another word. After about four seconds of thick, palpable silence, Asher broke the silence."So, why did you come to me? Why did you use that ritual? You know how dangerous that ritual can be; it can cost you a whole lot," he said, his face etched with concern."Why did you ask the moon goddess to bring you here? What danger am I in?" Asher asked me, his voice calm and relaxed, his gaze fixed intently on me as he waited for my response.As soon as I heard his words, I took a deep breath, as I felt a surge of determination within me.At that moment, my initial sorrows had completely drained out and were replaced with a growing confidence.I had completely shoved aside the momentary self-pity and sadness that had overwhelmed me, and I was now more determined to push through with what had brought me out."First and foremost," I began, my gaze fixed on Asher, "the proposal from the purple moon pack was a li

    XenraAkira's head whipped towards me as soon as she heard Asher's words, and her brows furrowed deeply.I could see the fear in her eyes as she stared at me, "What did you do to the vampire queen? What did you do to her?" She asked, her words tumbling out in a helpless rush.The fear written all over her face was unmistakable as she stared desperately at me. "Don't tell me you harmed her when you followed my brother to her pack," she said, panicking.But the words had just left her lips when Asher shook his head in response, "No, she didn't," he said, his voice firm and steady, "I don't think she harmed her; let her start saying the truth."Deep within me, I knew there was no way I'd escape his room without saying the truth; I knew it was time I told them the truth since it had gotten to that.Although I didn't know how they'd react to what I was about to say, I just knew I had to.In that instant, I lifted my head that had been hanging low, and my gaze darted from Asher's face to Ak

    AsherIn that instant, my gaze flew to the door, and just as I had suspected, the locks were intact.As I fixed my gaze back on Xenra, I saw her lips trembling as she tried to make coherent words. But the only thing she could say was "I-I-I."The fear written all over her face was unmistakable as she stuttered, which made me even more curious, and my brows furrowed.Seconds stretched on but she couldn't utter a word, at least nothing coherent that I could make sense of. She couldn't even meet my gaze.After about five seconds, she fixed her gaze on me. "I, um... The—the..." She said, but I swiftly interrupted her, even as I decided to go straight to what I wanted to know.At that moment, I didn't need anyone to tell me otherwise; she was strange, and I knew it; something was definitely off about her, and she had just proven it to me, again."Who are you?" I asked her as calmly as I could, "There's no need to lie to me." I said."From the first day, you healed me, I knew there was some

    XenraI halted in my tracks as a great sense of hesitation settled within me. My mind was flooded with countless thoughts, and I began to ponder how to go about it.In that instant, it dawned on me that I was only too concerned about their safety that I didn't even think about how to go about it.As my thoughts stretched on, something crept into my heart, a diversion that made my brows furrow."Does it mean Asher likes me?" I muttered beneath my breath, but I didn't even allow the thoughts to settle in my heart before I shook it off."No, it can't be. It's not even possible," I said to myself, my voice heavy with conviction. "Maybe the moon goddess allowed it to happen because she wanted to save them." With that in mind, I quickly shoved off the thoughts as I decided to face the situation, but then I hesitated once more."What should I do? How do I go about this?" I whispered, my mind reeling with countless thoughts.I knew I couldn't just walk up to Asher and tell him his mate was p

    XenraIn that instant, I sprang to my feet, and my mind spiralled with countless thoughts as I sought means to get out of the dungeon.My fists clenched with fierce determination, and I marched forward, my steps carrying me towards the entrance of the dungeon room.For the first time ever since I was thrown into the dungeon, I deliberately stared at the gate that held me enclosed, a strong iron gate that stood from floor to roof.As I stared at it, a thought dropped into my heart, but as I pondered on it, I realised it was risky."This wouldn't do!" I snapped out of it, knowing that breaking down the gate would attract the attention of the people in the other cell and the guards."It will complicate everything and make it even more difficult to save them," I said to myself, shaking the thought from my mind.I didn't need anyone to tell me that I'd have to pass through the guards at the various posts to get to Asher even if I successfully pulled down the gate.I knew even if I threw wh

    XenraI tried to wrap my head around what was going on and why they had said such a thing like that, but nothing seemed to make sense to me.After about ten seconds of trying in vain, I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy and decided to shove it aside."After all, it has nothing to do with me," I said, shrugging, and then I began to walk back to the spot of my meditation.As I settled in the spot and tried to continue with my training, their voices kept breaking into my thoughts, making it impossible for me to focus.As I snapped back to the present, I couldn't shake off the nudge that had settled deep in my heart, a great sense of uneasiness that kept taking my mind back to the people in the other cell, and I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on."If it was about Akira, why are they doing it secretly?" I asked myself, my brows furrowing as I drifted back into thought, wondering why they really had to hide in the darkness to do whatever they had to do.As my

    XenraAfter a long session of meditation and cultivation that day, I stretched my limbs, my lips spreading into a smile as I felt a great sense of peace within me."The past week in the dungeon has been the best in my life," I said to myself and drew in a deep breath.As I slowly opened my eyes, I could feel a great sense of strength and renewed energy within me."No doubt, I'm back!" I said to myself, my lips curling into a determined smile as I felt the surging powers within me."I didn't need anyone to tell me they were back. "This dark dungeon has been a great help to me. Thanks to the calm and quietness."Aside from the fact that I could feel my vampire spirit within me, I could also feel the emergence of my wolf with great intensity.As a hybrid, I had never felt that part of me before, or maybe I had never really given myself to that side of me.But this dungeon has really helped me in aligning with that side of me, and not just that, but to also master the powers and ways to t

    LenaAs I pondered what Royce had just told me, something dropped in my mind, snapping me off the thoughts that had kept me busy.My head whipped towards him, and in that instant, I asked, "Did you just say 'hidden dungeon?'" My voice was rushed and urgent."Is that nowhere that fat maid?" My brows slightly furrowed as I stared at him."Yes, my lady, that's where she is." Royce firmly replied. Hearing his response made me snort, and I began to slice the beef on my plate again.As I did so, I continued, "You can just tell the men to start experimenting with her by pouring some of the content in her body. After all, she's useless now to everyone." The words had barely left my lips when I continued savouring the beef again, even as I relished the satisfaction of what I had just said.A light chuckle broke out of Royce's lips instead as soon as he heard my words, the sound of which belied the hesitation in his heart."As long as I like the fact that we think alike, my lady, remember when
