Leo

Right in my chambers that evening, I couldn't stop wondering why Lena had excused herself earlier, shortly after we had just finished talking about Asher.

Although I had earlier believed she didn't blow her cover, I just couldn't shake off the nudge at the depth of my heart that something was amiss.

"No, I need to make sure everything is still in order," I said to myself as I sprang up to my feet.

Without a second thought, I marched towards Lena's room, and after the second knock, she asked me to come in.

"Hey Leo, what's up?" She asked, with a small smile on her face after she had opened the door.

"Nothing much, dear sister; you've been gone for some days. I just wanted to know how it all went with you and your MATE." I answered emphatically, after which I snorted in derision.

"So tell me, how was the visit?" I asked as I settled into her throne chair, spreading my legs beside each side of the backrest.

Lena's lips at my words curled upwards into a small smirk, "Like I told you e

    LeoAs if Lena could trace my thoughts, she placed her hand on my shoulder, "Easy, brother. Everything is in order." She said calmly.At her words, I snapped back to the present and realised my fists were tightly clenched. Right there, it dawned on me that I had given in to the hatred, deeply seated in my heart.My lips curled upwards, an attempt to assure her that I was fine, even though deep within me, I was seething with fury.After about ten seconds had passed, I recalled we were talking about Asher's real mate before I had lost it, and in that instant, something dropped in my heart."About Fredrick's daughter..." I began, causing Lena to turn towards me, "I'm sure you left no trail." I stated.My words made Lena's brows furrow as confusion etched on her face, "What do you mean?" She asked, her voice a total contrast to the expression on her face."I mean... Fredrick might notice sooner than later that she's missing, and he might trace it to you," I said, my calm voice belaying th

    AsherFor the first time ever, I sat at the dining table alone. Akira had sent a maid to tell me she had no appetite for the meal.Never had it happened before. "None of this would have happened if not for that fat pig of a maid!" I muttered under my breath, still reeling from the news I had received from her maid.As I sat there alone, I couldn't even touch the meal. I had hoped we could put aside our differences during the meal.I was going to do everything I could to make sure we returned to the way we had always been, but Akira didn't show up.I paced back and forth across the dining space with my hands folded behind me. Deep within me, I couldn't stop cursing that sack of bones, who was responsible for the rift between me and my sister.After about fifteen seconds of brooding over my anger, I knew I had to do something. Five minutes passed, and I was lost in deep calculations, searching for a way forward. Suddenly, a thought popped up in my mind, and my eyes glinted at the sight

    XenraWait! Did I just become Asher's maid? The last thing I wanted was to be close to him, especially not as his maid. I needed no one to tell me how he'd make my life miserable due to his hatred for me."No, I have to do something," I muttered under my breath."Excuse me, Alpha!" I called out to Asher, who was now standing with his hands resting on his waist.At my words he turned towards me, and for the first time ever I saw sadness in his eyes.'What is wrong with him?' I wondered within me. That wasn't my concern anyway; since I had called his attention, I had to press forward with what I wanted to say."It's not like I'm trying to question your authority, Alpha," I began as calmly as I could. "But I honestly think the people who are supposed to be closer to you are your male servant, not a female servant." I stated, keeping my tone low and levelled.At my words, Asher's brows creased into an obvious frown. His anger clearly evident, despite his stoic expression.I had expected

    Xenra"Xenra! Xenra!" Zara's persistent call snapped me out of dreamland that day.My eyes screwed tighter as I struggled to snap off my grogginess."What?" I answered lazily; at the same time, I slowly opened my eyes to find out that the room was shining brightly.It was clear I had slept in. After a long day being confined in the dungeon and the drill I was forced to undergo with the male bodyguards the previous night, I felt like I hadn't had enough sleep."It's day already; we were so tired," Zara said. I turned towards her to find her dressed already and ready for a new day. "Go get ready, else you'll be late." Zara's voice came again, dripping with concern as she stared at me with furrowed brows.The worry etched on her face revealed the concern deeply seated in her heart for me.I wanted to say, 'Who cares?' I was tired of pushing on already. I really wanted to lay in my bed all day, but the thought of incurring Asher's wrath and giving him the slightest reason to make my li

    Behind the walls of the ancient Maltos Castle, a unique scent of roses and blood coated the air. The room could be described as a black paradise, with black painted walls and thick striped curtains. A huge four-poster bed lay in the middle, the black curtain sheets stretched, wrinkled by the entangled bodies hidden beneath them. The ethereal beauty sprawled on the bed, with the arms of her lover, wrapped around her delicate body. “You smell nice,” he whispered lazily. Her eyes flickered open with a low hum. From the stunning glow in the scarlet eyes, one could tell she was still immersed in the afterglow of sex.“I always smell nice.” The deep rumble from his chest made her look up. The laughter of her lover always found a way to make her heart tingle. “You have always been so cocky, my Queen and I must confess it suits you,” he flicked her nose. The Vampire Queen giggled, adjusting the sheets to hide her body. Lenhandro held down the sheets. He loved the way her pale flawless

    XenraThis is insane! How can this be happening to me? I begged her to let me be reborn to take my revenge. Shouldn't she have gotten the hint that I wanted to be reborn as a vampire Queen, not whatever the hell this was?Apparently, the woman thought this was funny. She made a cruel joke out of my situation!Releasing a sigh, I accepted my fate based on compulsion. I asked for a second chance at life and I got one. The best thing to do was utilize it.Returning my gaze to the mirror, a set of scarlet orbs stared back at me. Although strange, it was somehow relieving she let me retain my terrifying eye colour. It would traumatize me if I wind up with those random blue eyes. Squishing the chubby cheeks for mental approval, a grin broke out of my face. It felt so warm. So alive. I touched my chest and just as I suspected, I heard the gentle beats of the human heart. Unlike my cold, silent, heart.“What can I say? Thank you, Moon Goddess,” I winked charmingly, secretly hoping my goo

    XenraI 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 i

    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

    XenraIn the cold, dark dungeon of Asher's pack, I sat on the freezing, dusty floor. My legs were pulled up to my jaw, and my hands were tightly folded around them.Somewhere around me came the squeaky sound of rodents as they scuttled and scampered around. Just when I felt I was at death's door, it turned out that I wasn't totally alone.The lonely, deserted cell was tightly secured with iron bars, and as I sat there, I recalled the words of the guards who had sent me in."You better start saying your last prayers, because there is no room for escape for you." He advised, his words dripping with mockery, but if only they knew I had no single desire left in me for life, they would have left me alone in the open.Even if they had left me alone, I probably wouldn't have escaped, as I never stopped wondering if it was better I had died that night, the night Lenhandro had betrayed me.My tears had long stopped flowing; there was not even an iota of strength left in me, and with every pass

    Asher"Tell me, brother, was my maid the reason why you were treated the way you were? Is she the reason why Xenra rejected you?" Akira's words came again, her question piercing through the fog of confusion that had settled upon me, but more than that, it stirred something else within me—anger.I pulled my gaze from her as my lips twitched with a restrained anger, even as her words hit on my nerves."Answer me, brother!" Akira demanded with a sharp, shrill voice."Akira, enough!" I said in a matching intensity, even as I wanted to end every conversation about her annoying maid, which was the reason behind the misunderstanding between us."It's not enough, brother. All you did was transfer your aggression upon my innocent m

Ten and then fifteen minutes had passed, yet I couldn't get myself to focus on anything else, apart from the words I said to my baby sister, Akira."Well, she deserved it," I argued with the thoughts that had gotten me busy.I wanted to convince myself that she deserved the way I had spoken to her and the words I had said to her, but then, there was this nudge at the depth of my heart that kept hitting on the walls of defence I had erected ag

    Leo"I almost blew our cover today," Lena's voice pierced through the satisfaction I had derived from the deep-seated resentment she had for Asher and the vampire queen.My brows furrowed as I snapped back to the present. I fixed my gaze on her, to find her gaze turned inwardly, with an unreadable expression on her face; it was clear she had drifted into thought.Her words made my heart skip a beat, and with every passing second, I felt a growing anxiety within me."What did you tell him?" I asked, my words tumbled out in a rush as I stared at her, echoing the rising desperation that had settled in my heart."I almost couldn't hold back," her words came again, dripping calmly; a total contrast to the desperate swirling within me."What happened? What did you tell him?" I asked again, my voice a little firmer this time around, my gaze fixed intently on her.At my words, she turned towards me, and her lips curled upwards into a small smile, but it was empty.
