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
[Xanthea] I gingerly stepped away from the door, taking every step carefully. Being intensely aware of every breath that echoed in the bathroom, I hugged myself, correcting the night robe on my body. Pressing my lips together, I hopped into the walk-in shower and enclosed myself within the glass.
His deep laughter resonated in the bathroom, sending a chill down my spine. He tilted his head as he lowered his hand from his face and got up. “It’s the most ordinary looking weapons that give the deepest wounds and the most normal looking plants that hold the most poison,” Raven said through his
“Eyes on me when I have my dick inside you, omega. Don’t you know it’s disrespectful to look at some other man when a man is defiling your pussy? Don’t cheat on me with your eyes while your insides suck my cock like a hungry slut.” Asher lowered his gaze, a subtle smirk adoring his lips. Gritting
[Xanthea] We were all in Raven’s car. He was driving us to the hospital. Ezra sat on the passenger’s seat while I sat on the backseat with Asher. I had quickly changed into a full-sleeved, shin length navy blue dress and matching heels after a bath. They were the only clothes in the cupboard when
The controllers frequently singled out groups of weak bloods, forcing them into perilous situations before kidnapping the survivors under the cover of night. These survivors were subjected to experiments, injected with various drugs, and then sent back within the walls.Most died, but those who surv
[Xanthea]Asher’s tone grew heavier and I could see why through my mother’s memories.“The weak bloods were promised a permanent secure shelter within these walls…”All the giant gates and smaller exits of the walls were closed, trapping all the weak bloods while they were fast asleep.For the first
Waiting, uncertain if someone would show up, was the worst feeling. I knew because I’d felt it when I called Ezra for help with the kids and waited. Those few minutes shattered me. I couldn’t even imagine what six-year-old Ezra endured, waiting for years.“A girl had been observing Ezra all this tim
The soft flutter in my chest instantly turned into electrifying goosebumps as he wrapped his fingers around mine, his grip tightening, holding my hand with an intensity that sent a shiver through me.We stood at the same distance as before, yet somehow, we had come closer.There were no words betwee
[Xanthea]‘… to cure the curse your mother put upon us because only you can.’Asher’s words hit me like a blow to the chest, leaving me breathless and blank. I stared at him as thousands of thoughts rammed into my mind. I was scared like I had never been before.Although I couldn’t decipher who I wa
There were glimpses and unfinished sentences. Lifeless body of a child, probably a weak blood.‘Another disappointm—’Peeled skin. Severed muscles.‘Burn him, prepare the other—’Eyeballs leaking from the eye sockets. People struggling as her helpers stuffed clothes in their mouth to muffle their gr
Experimenting on living subjects thrilled her. It was all fun for her. It was astonishing how she remained utterly undisturbed by it all. She justified every action with the belief that it was for the advancement of healing and immortality.‘Thank you for your contribution,’ she would say to each te
‘And that is why they will be punished as well,’ Alpha Caelum replied coldly. ‘As for you, you are hereby expelled from the Solvaris pack — and the Celestial realm.’My mother looked devastated, but she didn’t plead for mercy.‘I accept,’ she said brazenly as she strutted out of the court.With a sl
[Xanthea]I stared at Asher, my chest tightening as his words echoed in the air, heavy and inescapable. My mind scrambled to process what he had just said.“No.” The word slipped out, trembling and frail. “That’s not… It’s not possible.”Asher’s gaze remained distant. There was a cruel pity in the w
