My cheeks instantly flushed up. I didn’t know how I would look at myself in the mirror after going through everything I went through ever since I met the triplets. I still couldn’t believe how fast my life had made a backflip, somersaulted all its way until it jumped off the cliff. “By the way, I
[Xanthea] We walked through the luxurious corridors of the castle that were in shades of gray, white, black, and golden gothic aesthetics. Black and golden mostly dominated the decor. Same as my room. The floor I walked on was mostly covered with black marble, with intricate golden patterns carved
Cedric looked at Nesryn. Nesryn scoffed. Cedric looked back at me and continued. “She scoffs modestly. She has an active running business and also has a spy network reaching the celestial packs. Therefore, she is their favorite family member because she is useful. They say I’ll be useful to them on
[Xanthea] Taken aback, I gaped at the woman sitting in the wheelchair in her pristine aura — the High lady of the house and the triplet’s mother. Lady Demetria was dressed in a flowing, pure white gown. Her eyes were covered with a white blindfold. Every strand of her silky long hair was as white
She reached out her shaking fingers to my face. Lifting the hem of my gown, I kneeled on the floor in front of her wheelchair. I shut my eyes as her fingers traced every line on my face. The ringing silence prevailed. Her hand trailed down my face, over my chest. My heart pounded beneath the war
[Xanthea] “When did they start teaching about diseases of the immortals in the mortal world?” Lady Alessia asked. “Why would mortals teach about immortals? How would they even know anything about us? They only make it to our packs once they are dead,” Lady Letitia said. Then she glanced at me and
In case TTA affects the heart, the body below the neck starts to age like a mortal and it shows the same complications as a mortal in old age might face. So, it often causes difficulty for the guts to digest and absorb the right nutrients from the medicines. It is prescribed to enforce concentrated
“Six pods of funungus, three leaves of hetrotia, nine seeds of jixum, four petals of morarentha, dried roots of wild venus…” I recited the complete process of creating the prescribed concoction for TTA. Everyone peered at me blankly in a silence interrupted only by the High lady’s deteriorating con
So… the celestials know about the curse and the throne madness.The throne madness, huh?Right. That was the very reason the curse was created in the first place.I looked at Asher and all the instances of Alpha Deimos, the demon lords’ father, suffering from the madness flashed before my eyes.Moth
The prince took a quick gulp before reading the letter addressed to my grandfather.“~Father. A lot happened after I fell from grace. I’ve missed you, mother and my siblings dearly over all these years. I want to tell you so many things, but perhaps it’s better if I don’t. Yet, there’s a part of my
Nikolai read the letter further where mother revealed her real identity to Alpha Valdimir and she assured him that the celestials would help him protect his pack.She specifically asked him to burn down her books and diaries before interacting with the celestials. Doing so would break the seal on th
[Xanthea]“These letters are enchanted and only the ones they are addressed to can unseal or open them,” the prince said.He paused.“They’ve been kept in Alpha Valdimir’s care since your mother’s death. All of them have been opened by their addressees… except yours.”“Alpha Valdimir gave me everyth
But Asher—Every inch of him was covered in them. Dense. Spreading. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been wounded critically.How is this even possible?What the hell has he been through to end up like this?No… who did this to him?For a second, I thought it was the holy rain. Or maybe
“What’s there to understand about a grown-ass man who can’t even control his emotions? He looks like he’s a high rank celestial. Still, he lacks basic manners, etiquettes, even the rationality to fathom the consequences of his actions? He attacked the Alpha of the Infernal Pack. Do you think the Pri
[Xanthea]A sharp pulse of pain zapped through my head, every nerve and blood vessel screaming in agony. My muscles spasmed, my bones felt as if they were melting as the life force was yanked from my body and poured into my tongue — fueling the spell with raw energy.My vision blurred for a moment,
Mother had performed the spells and drawn the magic circles and symbols so many times that they became an instinct ingrained in her. And that instinct was passed down to me.I bit the tip of my finger. Ignoring Asher’s protests, I drew the recovery symbol, a symbol that accelerated healing, on his c
But I stayed calm, drawing in a deep breath while all my mother’s knowledge, experience and abilities manifested in their full force within me.I had naturally inherited 5% of my mother’s basic healer skills, which included things like instant diagnostic sight, blood analysis and manipulation, mana
