Alle Kapitel von Mysterious Mate : Kapitel 51 – Kapitel 60

XenraWe got to the palace to find the whole place filled with workers from different departments. While some of them were walking, some were running, but one thing was clear: the fact that they were all in a hurry. "What the hell is going on?" My words tumbled one after the other as I took in the sight of the unexpected disarray. There were older men, who usually would not leave their spot of keeping the garden clean. They were all rushing to and fro the garden with flowers of different varieties, in and out of the palace. Even in that early morning, the effect of their labour was seen on them, as sweat-like beads fell out of their bodies. There were also the guards, whom only the mood goddess knew where they were running to in such a hurry. The maids were not left aside. From their gaits, it seemed they had borrowed an invisible third leg that enabled them to walk faster than I had ever seen. "What is going on?" I asked Zara, who was standing beside me. From the lo

Xenra"Hurry, let's go," Lucy, who had nudged me earlier, urged, and just then, I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy. At first, I was confused until I saw the bowl and towel in the hands of the other girls, and right then, it dawned on me that it was time to wash her feet. Their steps were short but quick, they were clearly frightened. They walked with their heads bowed and stood a few steps away from the entrance. At that moment, Lena was already walking towards us, "Welcome my lady! May your reign be long and peaceful," They chorused, but since I was standing right behind them, I only lowered my head, without saying a word. There was no way I could wish her peace and longevity. As they spoke, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes and silently snort in exasperation. "We wish you happiness!" They chorused, and at that moment, I couldn't take it anymore. 'Can you just shut up and get to it already?' I asked myself. "It'd be an honour to wipe your royal fe

XenraAsher's words greatly infuriated me. Even though I had always known he was ruthless, I couldn't believe he had consented to such an unreasonable request. My blood boiled with a mix of anger and hatred for Lena. The fact that the both of them are using humans as tools further infuriated me. But no, I wasn't going to allow that to happen; I'd do whatever I could to make sure that inhumane wish of hers wasn't granted. As the guards who Royce had given the task walked towards where I stood, my mind began to race with calculations of how to stop him from performing the task, but I was met with emptiness. Time was ticking by, and since I couldn't think of anything at that moment, I carefully stretched out my right leg, which sent him off balance, and since he wasn't expecting it, he almost fell to the ground. A low, undecipherable murmur hummed in the hall as they saw what happened, but Lena's voice quickly called them to order. "What sort of nonsense is this? Why wo

XenraThe dining hall was usually quiet as they feasted on their meals. With a variety of dishes to be served, I stood behind Akira at my spot, waiting for further directives from any of them.What felt like feigned serenity was suddenly shattered by Akira."Talking about the scar on your face, there are rumours that Xenra, the vampire queen, is back," Akira stated without taking her eyes off her meal.At her words, my eyes flew open, and my heart skipped a beat. 'What does she mean by Xenra, I am back?' I wondered within me.As soon as Asher started speaking, I snapped at the thoughts that had gotten me busy; I couldn't miss out on that conversation."Really? Where did you get that from?" He asked, his gaze fixed on Akira, who was still busy with her meal."Well, I just came back from my mate to be, The news is everywhere. You know how popular and influential she is. People are saying she just came back and claimed to go on an exile to gain more powers and get herself equipped," Akir

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
