The silence in Trent's room was suffocating. They stood facing each other, but the distance between them felt like an ocean. Zora's arms were wrapped around herself as if she were trying to hold the pieces of her heart together, while Trent paced like a caged animal, his hands running through his hair repeatedly."Say something," Trent finally pleaded, stopping his restless movement to look at her. "Anything. Yell at me, curse me, tell me I'm an idiot for not completing the rejection. Just... don't stand there like you've already given up on us.""What do you want me to say, Trent? That I'm happy your mate has returned from the dead? That I'm thrilled to discover I've been living a lie?""It's not a lie," Trent said fiercely, moving toward her. "Whatever happened between me and Joanna was child's play. I never loved her the way I love you. She disappeared some years after my mother disappeared too.""You couldn't even complete the rejection, Trent. When push came to shove, you couldn't

Joanna's scream echoed across the packhouse. Her entire body shook violently as she fell to her knees, clutching her chest as if Trent's attempted rejection had physically wounded her."Please," she gasped between sobs, her voice barely audible. "Please don't reject me. Not after everything I've endured to get back to you. I will die." Trent's hand, still raised in the formal rejection gesture, wavered. Every instinct told him to complete the ritual, to sever whatever supernatural connection the compass claimed existed between them. But looking down at Joanna's broken form, he felt his resolve cracking."I have suffered enough, I have endured a lot, my wolf is still in pain," Joanna continued, her tears falling like rain. "The vampires... they didn't just imprison me. They tortured me. They used our mate bond to track me, to learn your weaknesses. I didn't know that we were mated, they found out before us. Until one of them told me to reject you as my mate.” “I was stunned when I he

Trent stood frozen, his mind reeling as he stared at the woman he'd thought was dead.Everyone's eyes widened. Trent looked behind him to see if another man was there, but none—he was the only man standing.Then, Joanna's wolf whispered again."Mate!"Realization hit Trent like lightning. He instinctively walked back a bit.Joanna's declaration of mate echoed in his ears, but everything inside him rebelled against it. This couldn't be right. It couldn't be real."This must be a mistake," he muttered."Nothing is a mistake. You are my mate. I knew this before I got lost," Joanna responded."I can never be your mate, never!""What is your problem? Her wolf identified you and you are still ignoring her. You know how important finding your mate is. I knew Joanna must be your mate the way both of you loved each other then. Accept her and let her blood help you with the curse," Melissa said."Argon," he called desperately to his wolf through their internal bond. 'Tell me what you feel about

Trent's entire body went rigid as the mindlink connection opened. Brandon's voice echoed in his mind, interrupting the peaceful aftermath of their intimate conversation.'Alpha, your mother is at the pack borders.'The words hit Trent like a tidal wave. His anger surged instantly, hot and consuming, washing away every trace of the tenderness he'd been feeling moments before. His jaw clenched so hard that Zora could hear his teeth grinding."Send her back to wherever she came from," he ordered through the mindlink.Brandon's response came hesitantly. 'Alpha, it's late at night. She's traveled far and—'"I don't care if she's traveled from the ends of the earth," Trent snarled, his rage building. "Tell her she's not welcome here."Zora watched the transformation in her mate with growing concern. The gentle, vulnerable man who had just shared his deepest trauma was disappearing before her eyes, replaced by a fury so intense it made the air around them feel electric."What's wrong?" she as

They lay side by side facing each other, talking softly about everything and nothing. As they spoke, Trent's eyes kept drifting to her chest, and he noticed her breasts again. There was something different about them, but he couldn't place exactly what it was."Zora," he called her attention to it, his voice concerned. "There's something... different."Zora looked down and suddenly became aware of the heaviness in her breasts that had been building for days."What could make them like this?" Trent asked, worry etched on his face as he gently traced his fingers over one. It was soft, full, and heavy. It was as if all the veins inside were ready to produce milk. Something wasn't right."Maybe I'm gaining weight. Don't you like it?" she asked, trying to deflect his concern."I like it, but the way they're growing bigger day by day is alarming. They weren't like this the last time I saw them," he said, his alpha instincts picking up on something being wrong.Zora took a deep breath, her me

After getting back to the pack, Zora knew she had done terrible things that had infuriated Trent, but he didn't speak out about it. The tension between them was massive as they made their way to their room in silence.Once they were inside their private quarters, Trent closed the door behind them. He unbuttoned his shirt, took off his clothes, and headed to the bathroom.He came out to see Zora struggling with her dress.Without a word, he moved to help her undress, his fingers working carefully to remove her jewelry—the delicate earrings, the bracelet that had caught on her dress, the necklace that had been weighing heavy around her throat all evening.Each piece was set aside with gentle precision, but she could feel the restraint in his movements.She turned to him, her eyes searching for his emotions, but he was unreadable and expressionless. It was clearly shown that he was angry; despite that, his demeanor was calm.Zora looked down and begged for forgiveness for the embarrassing

Epilogue.XenraFollowing the defeat of the most powerful male vampire – Lenhandro – and one of the strongest Alphas – Leo, Asher rose as the strongest Alpha in the whole of the packs, solidifying his reign as supreme above them all.As a result, every other clan and pack took it upon themselves to pay homage to him as the supreme Alpha.One month had passed already, and every pack had enjoyed a season of peace and tranquillity, from the smallest to the largest packs. None of them saw themselves as supreme over another, but submitted to Asher, who in turn ensured that they were catered to.But his jurisdiction didn't rest only with the werewolves; even the vampire kingdoms as well had accepted his rule, for fear of his retaliation over Lenhandro's invasion.As a result, one month had passed already, yet the tranquillity that had spread all over the whole packs had never wavered a bit.Asher's victory had ushered in a season of peace and stability which extended to all territories.As

XenraA great sense of peace flooded me as soon as I heard their words. I had been worried that they might not appreciate what I had done for them since I was an Omega, even though I had been transformed into my own skin.They couldn't even recognise me, which was understandable, as not many people saw me when I was still the vampire queen, and even when I was in that fat Cecilia's body, I didn't come in contact with the elders or pack members; little wonder they were all oblivious to the transformation of my body.As I stared at them, I didn't need any to tell me that they meant what they had just said, and as if they hadn't said enough, he continued,"We've accepted you as our Luna; we don't care about the rumours flying around about whether you're an Omega or not. You've saved us all and have proven to us how deserving you are to be our Luna, and we're all ready to acknowledge you as our Luna." The man's words tumbled out in a fierce rush as he spoke.The expression on his face was

XenraStill unable to utter a word, I quickly bent my left shoulder and, at the same time, turned towards it to check for the scar that made me an Omega.As soon as I saw it, my lips gradually joined together, and the smile on my face gradually spread into a broad, peaceful smile.At that moment all I felt was peace. My gaze was still fixed on it when I began to speak. "It seems the moon goddess didn't completely give me back my body." I told him with a small voice."Don't feel bad about it," Asher began to say, brushing off a stray strand of hair from my face, his eyes glinting with excitement as they bore into mine.His words made the smile on my face stretch further, and I couldn't help but chuckle softly. "I'm not feeling bad about it," I replied calmly."What really matters to me right now is that I'm happy. Being the vampire queen came with a lot of stress, and I'm sure you can relate to it. It wasn't easy bearing the burden of the pack on my shoulders and looking out for them a

Xenra"Don't get me wrong," Asher swiftly said as soon as the words left my lips. "I perfectly love you the way you are. Just that it'll be unlawful for you to continue this way." A light furrow appeared on his face as he spoke."As long as that impersonator is still alive, people will always mistake her for you," He continued calmly. "You know how she's been tarnishing your image, and she won't stop because she doesn't really care at all, but nobody knows that, they will always think you're the one doing those things,""So I'll want you to have your body back and reclaim your image."Asher's words tumbled out in a rush as he spoke, filled with emotions. His voice oozed the depth of his sincerity as he conveyed it to me.I couldn't deny the truth in his words as I listened to him speak, even though I wanted nothing more.But then I knew he was telling the truth, Cecilia had done more damage to my name, and had never stopped ruining my image, I knew it was best I reclaimed black my b

Chapter 240 - Your Real Body.Xenra"I'm going to punish you for killing an innocent soul," Asher's voice was filled with determination as he spoke, his face tight with annoyance.From the look on his face I could see how disgusted he felt. As soon as the words left his lips, Asher's head whipped towards Sylvester."What's the punishment given to a murderer?" He asked, his voice echoing the determination burning within him."Alpha," Sylvester acknowledged with a bow. As he stood back upright he began to speak, "a life taken must be repaid by a life." He answered, his voice dripping in a matching intensity.Meanwhile, Royce had gone silent as he stared at both of them, his chest heaving hard, his face tight with determination as he waited for Asher's final verdict.He was determined to pull her down with him, the look on his face echoed his fierce resolution. He probably thought he was doing a good thing exposing the Alpha's mate, and I knew he would want to garner favour from it.As

AsherA derisive snort escaped my nostrils as soon as I heard Royce's words. I knew he was only trying to bail himself out, but I would never give him that opportunity, not after what he had done."I know already," I swiftly replied, my voice heavy with certainty as I stared down at him, who was desperately trying to save himself."No, I'm not sure you know what I'm talking about," Royce swiftly replied, determination laced in his words."Lena is not even your betrothed; she's an imposter that killed your mate and has been living with her identity all this while." Royce said, his words tumbling out in a fierce rush as he stared at me with his eyes wide open.I couldn't help the scoff that escaped my lips as soon as I heard his words. He must have thought I hadn't found out about it already.Since he had been on the run since he found out that I was alive, he didn't know that I had already found out about her identity, and since I had placed Lena on house arrest ever since that day, I
