Xenra"What did you just say?" The chief maiden asked, her brows furrowing with shock and surprise written all over her face. The sternness in her voice was undeniable; she had totally put aside the gentleness I had earlier seen in her.Oh no! Did I just land myself into another trouble? Not again; I shouldn't have involved Asher."Oh, sorry," My response came almost immediately, but then I still needed to ascertain the extent of the trouble I had dived into.I turned instantly to the next maid standing beside me, "Was I loud?" I asked, and as I did, my gaze shifted to the next maid, who nodded her head in response along with the other one.Fuck!Inasmuch as I wanted to know how much they had heard, I didn't know how to ask them about it. I was so engrossed with my thoughts of how arrogant Asher was that I had forgotten to keep my lips sealed and gave myself away.I turned towards the chief maiden and lowered my gaze apologetically, "I'm so sorry, mistress; I didn't mean it that way.

XenraHow dare you, Asher? After all these years, you're still arrogant, rude, and selfish!Well, that was supposed to be to his hearing, but I couldn't get myself to say it to him. I felt my muscles clenching tightly as the weight of his insults settled in my heart, causing my breath to grow heavy, and as I stared at him, I felt like punching him in the face.Well, in reality, I was doing all I could to not show any emotions. But what was he really feeling like? Does he think he was someone so mighty and strong? If not for his guards, I'd have dealt with him already and left a mark he'd never forget in his urgly face.'Did I just say ugly? Come on, he's not ugly, though. That part of him being ugly is definitely a lie.' I felt my anger residing as my attention shifted to his face.Well, that face of his was something I could kill for. How could he be that handsome and cold-blooded? If only he was a little warmer and caring, I'd have been his Luna already."How dare you? Are you sure

Xenra"She's my past, and my past remains my past," Asher's voice rang with pride. His words stung, piercing deeply into my heart. As I stood there, I felt my heart begin to pulsate faster, bearing the weight of the hurt his words had inflicted on me, but then I knew I couldn't afford to show any emotions, so I tried my best to control whatever pain and anger were boiling within me. "Oh, I see," Akira's words dropped to a low in defeat. "That's why you chose that witch as a mate," she said. 'A witch as a mate?' That's interesting. I quickly shoved aside every other thought since I didn't want to miss out on any information concerning his private life. My ears perked up with attention as I determined to learn as much as I could from their conversation. Asher, at Akira's words, let out a short chuckle, a dry, throaty chuckle that rang with emptiness. "At least she's better than a vampire queen that feels so important," he said after his chuckle had boiled down. Oh,

Xenra My lips curled upwards, and satisfaction twinkled in my eyes, even though deep within me, I was still angry. "Did you see that?" One of the maids' voices snapped me out of the anger that had settled in my heart. "I haven't seen anything like that before," one of them replied. The shock and surprise written on their faces was undeniable. Some had their eyes wide open, while others had their jaws dropped. Some of them had both their eyes and mouth wide open. I could tell they were both terrified and surprised. Right then, it replayed in my mind how she had spun around twice before crashing helplessly on the floor, and something struck me—is it that I didn't lose some of my vampire's ability? My question rang in my head. At that instant, I felt the force I had added to the slap, and it seemed to me that I still had some of my abilities left in me. In my previous life, I had avoided hitting people because of the force buried in my palms. I had always been af

AsherAs I walked straight to my office that day, my sister's words kept popping up in my head. My steps quickened as I made haste to get myself busy with the task piled up for that day, a subtle distraction from the words that wouldn't let me be.I had just settled in my armchair and was about to get busy when the knock on the door came. I needed no one to tell me who it was."Enter," I answered, and almost immediately, the door opened, revealing Royce, who had come to discuss the outcome of his scouting of the borders."Greetings, Alpha," Royce said with a light bow. Without waiting for another word, he settled in the armchair opposite me in a relaxed and comfortable manner, causing my brows to furrow and twitch, and before I could react to the perceived disrespect, his words came again."You wouldn't believe what I just heard, Alpha," he began, his tone dripping with enticement, but then I needed to address something.Royce seemed to have forgotten his boundaries again. As my Beta,
