[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
[Xanthea] I watched the Aile castle become clearer and clearer in the side-view mirror of Nesryn’s car the farther we drove away from it. Yet its sprawling grandness couldn’t be captured in one frame. The royal castle was the perfection of Baroque architecture, rising majestically to the extreme
We entered the precinct of the Pheles palace, which was named after Raven’s demon wolf’s name — Pheles. It was yet another wonder of architecture standing in the middle of blooming gardens, glowing greenhouses and dark woods. A dense mist hung heavily around the palace and the woods. Flora and faun
[Xanthea] Nesryn called someone while I stayed in the foyer. Standing by the intricately designed arched window, I peered outside. My brain identified as many plants and herbs as it could, matching the details and sketches I had seen in my mother’s books and diaries. But there were still a lot mor
I had left behind all the impossible dreams like being free in the Earthly realm. I no longer had a dream I yearned to pursue, not even freedom. Maybe there was only one thing I looked forward to and feared at the same time — death. He stepped closer. “I can help you get out—” “Beta Draknor!” Nesr
[Raven] I looked at my phone screen as I drove into the private driveway to my palace. Through a spare guardian butterfly, I had been monitoring the omega while she interacted with Draknor and Nesryn. I knew Nesryn had a history with Draknor, but she had just met the omega. Why the hell was she b
“Since you haven’t taken us back to the Infernal realm already, it means…” she hesitated.“I want you to meet them,” I said.“Why?” I felt her fingers tremble. “Is it because of… my… m-mother?”She might have gotten out of her guilt, but that didn’t change a thing about her feelings towards her moth
I knew. That was exactly why I wanted to suppress him. But arguing would be pointless.Icifer wouldn’t back down, and if I pushed too hard, he might not let Xanthea meet the celestials at all.I shut my eyes.I’ll just have to deal with it.But before that…My hands glided up Xanthea’s thighs. My sh
He chuckled, glaring at the barrier with a sneer.“Here, he’s just another demon. And demons don’t stand a chance against celestials. You and your people can easily slay him and bring the great demon lord to his knees — to his fucking doom,” Nikolai said.I tilted my head.The arrogant superiority t
[Asher]“The crown prince is here!”A celestial guard’s voice rang across the Virgo army, silencing the murmurs as a masked figure strode forward.The emblem of the Solvaris pack was engraved into his golden chest armor, adorned with the complete nine stars of the Swan constellation. The celestials
‘The only one who gets to decide who her family is, is Xanthea herself. However, if she dares to choose anyone other than us, that’s going to be a different story.’‘The celestials are helping Nikolai because he has something that confirmed Xanthea’s identity as Cadence’s daughter to them. They don’
Caelum Solvaris had only one son, a weak blood, who had disappeared ages ago. Officially, it was claimed that the boy was undergoing private spiritual training to become the next Alpha of the Solvaris pack, which was a common practice in the Celestial realm. So everyone believed it.But I was sure t
[Asher]The winds were changing, and the timelines had shifted.Xanthea’s face rested against my chest. I gently tucked the free strands behind her ear and she snuggled against my touch.This was probably the first time in her life she was at peace, not at war with herself. Just a glance at her was
I licked my dry lips, swallowing hard.“I feel, Asher.”Letting go of his wrists, I sat on his waist, lowering my head so that my hair hid my face from him.“What do you feel?” he asked in a soft, calm tone, the word ‘feel’ drifting from his lips like a caress.“Angry. So. So. So fucking angry.” My
But somehow, no matter how harsh his words were or how deeply they cut, a strange relief washed over me, because his words gave me a closure I didn’t know I needed.I came to terms with the fact that my mother was gone. I finally accepted the one thing I had been denying all my life: my mother was d
