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

    Xenra Right there, I began to ponder what lesson he'd teach me. I had worried about being careful not to get demoted again, but as it was, I didn't mind getting demoted than working with that animal as a boss. I scoffed in total disbelief, a light chuckle escaping my lips as I realised not even one of them was concerned about the truth or even cared to listen to my words, even though I wasn't finding it funny in any way. "What are you laughing out?" One of the guards glared at me, but if only they knew I was rather shocked than amused. "You still have the face to smile, huh?" The chief security latrine officer said, his tone tight with anger. "By the time I'm done dealing with you, I'm sure you wouldn't have the face to smile again, and then you'd know who is in charge." He stated, his words tumbling out in a rush. My lips curled upwards, and another scoff escaped my lips as his threat replayed in my head. I had been through the worst possible form of insults and humiliation sin

    Xenra"The Princess is arriving!" A male voice announced, the sound of which filled every heart present in the room with fear. 'Oh, so they have a princess,' my voice rang in my head as soon as I heard those words.I could see the fear in their hearts as they panicked. "What should we do?" One of them asked the chief security latrine officer, snapping me off my thoughts."Tie her up quickly, and leave her here. We'll deal with her later," he ordered, and at that instant, they started bounding my hands and feet with strong ropes."No, let me go. I need to see the princess as well," I yelled. It wasn't like I wanted to see her. I was only looking for a way off."Shut up!" The chief security officer yelled at me, "Quick!" He ordered his men, and after about five seconds, they were done and rushed out, leaving me alone in the room.At that moment, the people that had flanked the windows had dispatched already, but they couldn't run away since the Princess was already close by, so they hu

    Xenra a Oh no, Akira. Couldn't she at least get the signal that I didn't want to be disturbed? "Let me see her," I heard Akira's soft voice as she stopped a few feet away from the door. At that instant, a number of guards rushed towards me, and since my head was still bowed, I could only see them after I had lifted my head. One of them pulled my hair backwards; the unexpected force caused me to glare at him and eye him up and down, but they couldn't do anything to me since Akira was watching. But what do I care? Since I didn't want to be selected, I didn't mind appearing rude as long as it would drive her away. They roughly cut and loosened the ropes around my hands and feet and dragged me up like soldiers who had just received a military order. As they began to drag me towards the door, I saw Akira peering through the door. "Be gentle with her," she said gently. 'It seems she isn't as heartless as her big brother, after all,' I said to myself, my words laced w

    Xenra"Yes, my lady," the main guard answered firmly. With that, Akira turned around, and before she could walk away, she turned towards me again, a small smile on her face, before walking again.As soon as she left, I heaved a sigh, but I wasn't relieved at all. It was all messed up. I never intended to get into the palace, working as a maid. I knew I had to keep off.I knew I might not be able to keep up with any form of maltreatment, given the history of my heartbreak and hurt. I knew I might get tempted someday and say some things I wasn't supposed to, since I was someone who doesn't know how to bottle up my hurt.I realised working at the palace would get me tired down completely. I wanted to have some form of freedom.I was still fuming over the fact that I was selected when I saw the chief security latrine officer walking towards me. In that instant, I snapped out of the thought that had gotten me busy and forced a smile to my face.I wanted to rile him up and make him see how

    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

    XenraSeconds ticked by, and Asher's breath became warmer, adding flames to my burning desires.I felt it on my neck, on my back, and on every part it touched; it left tingles that trailed down my spine. My heart fluttered, beating hysterically, and gradually, I was losing my mind."Help me, moon goddess!" I silently prayed even though I didn't believe in her, even though it had been long since I last spoke to her. Deep within me, I just needed an intervention, an escape, anything at all; a distraction that would help me stay put and not give in to the tingles within me.With every passing second, my heartbeat grew louder in my ears, even though I was doing my best to keep myself in check.But there was no way I could deny what I was feeling inside; the fact that every part of me longed for him made it even worse. I felt as though I was fighting against myself, which filled me with a mix of longing and sadness.I really wished I could just turn around and hold him back, closer to m

    XenraSilence at last! I let out a deep sigh at the feel of it, my shoulders slumping as the weight of worry and frustration steamed off them.My thoughts spiralled back to Asher, and my gaze followed the motion to his face.Although he was still quivering, his jerking had stopped, and his face was beginning to bounce back to life.Lazily, I walked towards the couch and settled into it, my mind still plagued by Asher and his ailment, and just then, my thoughts began to wander."Every being truly has a weakness," I voiced out the thoughts that had kept me busy as I stared at the sleeping Asher's face."Who would have thought a day would come when the mighty Asher would be as weak as a crushed vegetable?" I missed and shook my head as my thoughts lingered.Deep within me, I compared his former stalwart and vigorous self to the weak, vulnerable, and crushed state before me, and I couldn't help but sigh in pity for him.Seconds stretched into minutes, and an hour strolled by, yet Asher r

    RoyceThe sight of the fat maid clearly lost in thoughts made me scoff as I drew nearer to her from behind. She seemed clearly oblivious to my presence."Take this!" I said, stretching my hands towards her, whose gaze was still fixed on Asher's face.She jerked, snapping back from whatever had kept her so busy, and her eyes darted from my face to the mint leaves I was holding.Yet she seemed a little muddled, which sparked a surge of urgency within me."What are you still waiting for?" I glared, my voice was stern and urgent.It was my voice that jolted her into action, breaking her out of whatever had kept her frozen in time. Without waiting for another second, she swiftly collected the twigs of mint leaves from me and dashed towards the kitchen.Her steps were swift and short as she moved about the kitchen. I followed her closely, watching as she efficiently put the necessary utensils in order, and without waiting for a second, she carefully plucked and rinsed the mint leaves befo

    XenraThe day slowly wore into the night; palpable silence hovered around everyone present in the cosy space of Asher's bedroom.On the spacious king-sized bed lay Asher, looking like a wilted vegetable beneath the white blanket, his face pale enough to seem almost luminous.Every eye was fixed on him as he shivered and shook uncontrollably; the steady rhythm of his tremors resonated through the blanket covering him, and I wondered, 'How are the mighty fallen!'"Akira!""Akira!"His voice, like a breaking hum, quivered, echoing his tremors.Just then, Royce, whose gaze had never wavered from him, asked in a cold, stern voice, "What's wrong?" Breaking the tense silence that had settled over us."He's calling the name of the person he loves so much," I answered, my voice almost unrecognisable as it seemed to resonate with his frail and weak state."Lady Akira is the person he loves so much; that's why he's calling her name," I added calmly.As if my words were the trigger the Beta neede

    Xenra.The impersonator's head whipped towards Lena, who had just spoken, and her lips curled upwards.Amusement glinted in her eyes, while I maintained a barely noticeable smirk.Only then did Lena recall herself. "Well, I don't mean it that way," she began to speak, her words slurring slightly as she struggled to articulate her response."I meant, if his seizure starts at night, what would I do?" She asked with a small gesture, after which she began to regain her confidence, as though she had found an excuse to strongly hold onto."Indeed, what you're saying is not wrong, but I'm not in the right position to stay with him," she continued, her words firmer this time around. "Maybe the vampire queen can stay with him. But don't worry; I won't be far away; I'll be close by, checking occasionally to make sure that nothing is wrong with him." She assured with a firm voice.As her words settled into my heart, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. 'Asher really got himself a darling mate this
