Trent shifted back to his human form while still trying to catch his breath as a result of the fight just now. The mud on his skin was starting to dry and crack, but he barely noticed. His mind was focused on Zora.He rushed to her side, and even as she opened her mouth to speak, he immediately tugged her to his side and wrapped his arms around her."I was so afraid. I thought that I had lost you," he whispered into her ear, sniffing her scent."Me too. I was so scared when Brandon told me that you dashed into the woods. Why would you do something like that?" she fumbled, but he only tugged her tighter to his side with a small smile on his lips."Alpha!" Brandon suddenly called as soon as he was done bundling the man on the ground with a rope. Trent finally pulled away from Zora to give Brandon his attention."It's Claire. We can't find her." Brandon felt his heart break as he spoke. She had left everything just to be with him.The thought that she might be in danger all because of hi

Brandon leaned against the car, one hand pressed to his chest as he tried to calm his breathing. The wolfsbane was doing a number on him, making his limbs feel heavy and his senses dull. He had dealt with poison before during his years of training, but this particular strain was potent.Next to him, Zora stood alert, her eyes scanning through the woods. She looked tired but not nearly as affected as he was. That surprised him more than he wanted to admit.She was pregnant, and the wolfsbane should affect her more than it was affecting him, yet she was so active."You should sit down," Zora said without looking at him. "You look like you are about to collapse.""I am fine," Brandon scoffed, pushing himself upright. The world around him spun slightly, but he forced himself to focus. "Just need a minute.""You need more than a minute." She finally turned to face him, her expression stern. "That wolfsbane hit you harder than it hit me. Stop pretending otherwise."Brandon coughed before he

As soon as Trent realized that they had lost contact with the other car carrying Zora, he felt his chest tighten. This time it wasn't a gut feeling, but it was obvious that something was going on.The two guards in the front seat had gone rigid, their training kicking in. The driver kept both hands on the wheel.Then Trent saw it. A figure standing in the road ahead, barely visible in the darkness. Just standing there, watching them."There." He pointed.Brandon leaned forward, squinting. "Who is that?""I do not know." Trent reached for the door handle. "But I am going to find out.""Wait, maybe we should—"Trent never heard the rest of Brandon's sentence. Thick smoke suddenly erupted around their car, billowing up from nowhere and everywhere at once. It poured through the vents, seeped under the doors, filled the interior in seconds."Duck!" Trent shouted. "It is wolfsbane!"The guards immediately dropped down, trying to avoid breathing in the toxic smoke. Brandon covered his nose a

Claire's mind drifted to what her new life would be like. Living in Trent's territory, being with Brandon every day, the man she just met."Do you think the pack members..." She paused as she swallowed hard before speaking again. "Will they accept me?""They will follow Brandon's lead. If he vouches for you, they will welcome you."Claire nodded, finding comfort in that. Through the front windshield, she could still see the taillights of Trent and Brandon's car ahead of them. Brandon was so close yet felt impossibly far away. She wanted to be in that car with him, wanted to see his face, hear his voice.The road curved sharply, and their driver slowed down to navigate the turn."How much longer until we reach the territory?" Claire asked one of the guards."About forty minutes, miss," the guard in the passenger seat replied without turning around.The car ahead of them suddenly slowed down. Claire leaned forward, trying to see what was happening."What is going on?" Zora asked, her vo

It was dark and Trent decided it was time for him to return to his pack, so he walked over to the Alpha King."Alpha King." Trent approached with Zora at his side. "Thank you for the invitation. It was an honor to be here.""The honor was mine, Alpha Trent." Alexander extended his hand and Trent shook it firmly. "I hope you will consider what we discussed.""I will," Trent assured him. "We should be heading back to our territory. I still have a wedding to plan."Alexander smiled at that. "Of course. Congratulations again on the upcoming ceremony." He turned to Zora. "Luna Zora, it was a pleasure.""Thank you, Alpha King." Zora bowed her head respectfully."Be careful on your journey home." Alexander's tone became more serious. "And remember what we discussed, Trent. Trust your instincts but do not act rashly.""I will keep that in mind."They said their final goodbyes and Trent felt relief wash over him as they headed toward the exit.Brandon fell into step behind them, silent as alwa

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
