Asher

"So, what are you doing in your ex's pack?" Lena's voice sliced through the silence that had descended upon us as we stepped into my chambers.

"You didn't even inform me you were coming to your ex's pack." She pointed out quite unexpectedly.

I couldn't help the scoff and low chuckle that rumbled out of my throat as her words settled into my heart.

"Well," I replied after about three seconds of an inaudible laugh, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to inform you before taking any decision." My words wrapped with sarcasm as I chuckled still.

But my words only seemed to annoy her as she began to speak as soon as the words left my lips.

"We're mates, and soon to be joined together," she stated firmly, her voice laced with disapproval.

"I think I have the right to know about your movements, especially when it involves your ex." Her voice was firm and steady as she spoke with no atom of a smile on her face, but her words were stirring something else within me.

    LenaAs soon as I got out of Asher's chamber, I saw the vampire queen, who clearly wasn't aware of my coming, struggling to regain her composure.From the swift withdrawal of her hands, I could tell she was leaning on the edge of the wall.My lips curled into a broad smirk, and a scoff of amusement escaped my lips, even as she feigned ignorance of what had just happened.Slowly, I closed up the distance between us. "Is this how you've become so unbelievably low?" I scoffed, my words laced with mockery as I stared into her eyes.As soon as she heard my words, she straightened her spine and stood uprightly. "I don't understand." The vampire queen replied with a calm and firm voice, then she scoffed."Oh, I can see you have a poor memory. Well, just in case you've forgotten, this is my pack, and I can do whatever I want in it," she continued, her words laced with confidence as she spoke.Her words caused a low chuckle to rumble out of my lips, and before I could utter a word, she began t

    Asher"You're yet to tell me what brought you to my pack." The vampire queen told me, as we stepped into her closed patio.My gaze wandered towards the pots of aloe veras and peace lilies, which stood beside the screens that enclosed the space, adding a touch of serenity to the already quiet atmosphere.Since it was day, the lights were put off, allowing the rays from the sunlight to bathe the room with warmth.As I took in the sight of the blooming peace lilies, the vampire queen spoke again."Could it be that you've accepted the deal?" she asked, walking towards one of the single couches that stood in the middle, where she settled in, crossing her legs with her gaze fixed on me.The fact that she had thought I would accept such a deal made a low guttural chuckle escape my throat. As it trailed off, I walked towards the couch beside her and settled into it, taking the time to collect myself for the conversation I wasn't really yet ready for.But it seemed I didn't have a choice but

    Vampire QueenI sprang up to my feet as soon as I heard Lena's words. My heart racing at the thought of what it was, I scurried towards Asher, who was pressing hard against his trembling hand."Asher, are you okay?" My words tumbled out in a desperate rush as soon as I stood beside him, my words heavy with the worry that had settled in my heart."Yes, I'm okay," he answered again.But this time around the initial smile I had seen on his face had given way to a more frustrated look and a little flicker of anger.As I stared at him, his voice came again, "You people should stop giving me that pity look as if I'm dying; I'm not dying." Although he tried to keep his cool, I could hear the anger laced in his voice, the pain intertwined in every word he spoke. His brows were deeply furrowed as beads of sweat began to form on his creased forehead.Deep within me, I knew he was only doing his best to suppress whatever he was feeling, and right there, it dawned on me that he hated the fact t

    XenraSilence and calmness followed. Their gazes remained fixed on Asher, who had gone still, like a corpse.From the expression on their faces, I could tell their minds were far from being at peace.Lena, who had never witnessed his episode, had her brows scrunched up as she peered into his face with curiosity. Meanwhile, the impersonator's eyes glinted with fear as they both stared at Asher.After about fifteen seconds of staring at him, someone finally tore the thick blanket of silence that had settled upon us."Are you sure he's okay?" It was Lena who asked without pulling her gaze from Asher, and almost immediately, she continued,"He doesn't look like he's okay; he looks sick." Her words tumbled out in a rush as they echoed the fear that had settled in her heart.As if her voice was the signal the impersonator needed, she took over. "Wait a second, why are his eyes still like that?" she asked, Her words dripped with frantic concern as she leaned in further towards him, without

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    LenaWithout saying another word, Akira turned and walked away. In that instant, I turned towards Asher and said to him, "I'm really sorry if I said something wrong," My voice wrapped in feigned remorse. "I didn't mean to offend anyone."Only then did Asher pull his gaze away from Akira's retreating figure and fix it on me. "You should learn to keep your mouth shut," he said, his voice heavy, his words tumbling out in a rush."It's not every time that your opinion is needed." He added, his voice echoing the annoyance that was deeply settled in his heart.As soon as the words left his lips, he stood up and left. His steps were heavy with determination as they carried him back towards his room.In that instant, my lips spread into a broad smile, and I almost couldn't stop myself from chuckling in excitement.Deep within me, I was excited that they had both fallen for my plan.As soon as they disappeared out of my sight, I began humming my clan's song of victory again and picked up my t

    LenaI could see the curiosity glinting in Asher and Akira's eyes as we waited patiently for Asher to read the letter.As soon as Asher opened the letter, a slight furrow creased his forehead, followed by a momentary silence, making me even more curious about what he had read."What does it say?" I asked, my words laced with urgency, but Akira didn't say a word as she waited patiently for Asher to read the content aloud.After about three more seconds, Asher began to read."This is a request to you, Alpha Asher, and to your sister, Lady Akira.Having been found as a single and most eligible lady in our time, I request a meeting between Lady Akira and my son Jefferson to discuss a marriage between our families.If it would please you, I request that Lady Akira pay us a visit to get acquainted with my son, Jefferson.Signed: Alpha Scott."As soon as Asher finished reading, he folded the letter calmly, his gaze fixed on what he was doing, but the expression on his face betrayed no emotio

    AsherOne week later.Despite how hard I had tried to shove the thought of Xenra being locked up in the dungeon off my mind, I just couldn't successfully do that.For the past week, I had been persistently plagued by the thought of her, even though I couldn't understand why I was so concerned about her.The thought of her and her predicament kept lurking around me, haunting me like a ghost in the dark, making it almost impossible for me to concentrate on anything else.Even though I wanted to justify my actions since she was rude to me, I still felt my heart pierced.Even though I had only wanted to help her. I had gone to the prison to talk to her and see how I could help her, but she was so rude to me, making me look like a fool, making me wonder why I even wanted to help her in the first place, since she didn't need my help.I felt insulted as she threw my words to the ground like something worthless, and that was when I decided to teach her a lesson.I wanted her to show some remo

    LenaAs I stared at Xenra, I saw her lips curl into a determined smirk, but the anger and hatred in her eyes were unmistakable.As soon as I saw the look on her face, I scoffed, accompanied by a light chuckle, even as understanding dawned on me.In that instant, I realised she only wanted to rile me up, and I wasn't going to listen to what she had to say or give her the satisfaction she craved.I folded my hands in front of me and heaved a sigh. "There's no need to listen to a bluffing, worthless, lowly maid like you," I said, my lips curled up in satisfaction."I know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work," I slammed my words at her, my voice bearing the weight of my resolve."Just in case it hasn't dawned on you, you're a loser, and I doubt you'd be leaving here anytime soon!" A chuckle broke out of my lips as soon as the words left my lips, the sound of which bore the amusement and satisfaction that were deeply seated in my heart."You might not know this, but let me

    LenaAs I watched her being pulled by the guards, I couldn't help the feeling of contentment that swirled within me.But then, I knew I had to maintain my charade and add more fuel to the flames.In that instant, my head whipped towards Asher. "Can you imagine? She's so full of pride and arrogance." I said, my words heavy with a feigned anger.But the words had barely left my lips when Asher turned and walked away, and in that instant, Akira followed him, her maids walking after her.Being all alone, I couldn't stop the smile that curled my lips. I was glad the Alpha had locked her up in the deepest dungeon, which was a good sign for me.It meant that he had totally severed every connection or whatever feelings he might have for her.Deep within me, I was certain she was off my path for good, and the next thing I had to do was to proceed and wait for the best moment to strike."Enjoy all you can now," I muttered under my breath as I watched Asher march towards the palace, "because you
