She reached out to snap the vines off her ankles that had started sprawling up her legs like dendritic veins. There you go. My months of hard work going down the drain just like that! I swear this omega is going to pay for every damage she does to my X23. The blueness crept up her legs with the vi
[Xanthea] An icy sensation crawled up my leg. The din of my breaths and my heartbeats faltered in my ears as the sound of rustling grass, as if a serpent hastily slithered through them. I stood barefoot on the dewy grass, aware of every stir in the surrounding underbrush. Cold fog condensed on my
Silence hung in the room, and for a while, even Mavka stopped rubbing the ice on my leg. Gulping hard, I fidgeted with my fingers, still feeling the burn from the poison in my leg. “Like you said, the plant was important to Alpha Raven. He loves his plants like his child. He cares about them more t
[Xanthea] Just the thought of it made me break into cold sweat even when I was submerged in a fragrant bath. Mavka and a few other maids prepared me for the night while neither my body nor my heart nor my mind were ready for it. As the time of their arrival drew nearer, my anxiousness grew louder
Our slow kissing transitioned into something deeper. Something that wiped every other thought that wasn’t about him right off my mind. A temporary escape from the impending reality that was meant to unfold. As we parted, the lingering heat of the kiss spread through every inch of my skin. He dippe
[Xanthea] (TW: Readers discretion advised.) * * * Being held by Raven was like being stuck in a tornado of flames. His searing touch was always so intense I feared I might crumble into ashes. My breaths broke into painful gasps and moans. Short. Fast. Feral. I couldn’t speak to him, or dare to
“It means I am going to play with our little omega tonight. Just her and me. If she plays well enough, I’ll take her to the hospital. To see my mother whom she so dearly wishes to meet—” he said, holding my gaze as though analyzing even the smallest change in features. “Really?” The breathy word sl
His jaw muscles flexed as he clenched his teeth. I kept stepping away from him, breathing heavily. Raven exchanged a look with Asher. Asher pressed a button on the watch and before I could look back at Raven, he was gone. Heat prickled on my back, causing a shiver to race up my spine, as his deep
‘Damage level?’ Icifer asked.‘Low,’ I said.Icifer allowed the mouse prince to pass through, who was shortly followed by Nikolai, who tried to sneak behind him, thinking it would be safe to get near my shadows now that two high rank celestials had entered.But only the two made it through.The mort
The relentless frequency of those attempts reflected his desperation. And the fact that he was here today himself could only mean one thing — he was here to rescue his granddaughter from demon lords, by any means necessary.I had a feeling he’d risk war for it if necessary, but no one understood the
[Asher]Crepuscular rays of the sun split through the sky like blades of light as dawn bled across the horizon.A pillar of light, streaked with golden scintillation, crashed down from the heavens near the mouse prince — bridging the Celestial realm to the Earthly realm. And one by one, higher celes
“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
