[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
Every staff member, patient or doctor who came in their way instantly stood aside, holding their heads low. Most of the corridor was empty. Maybe people emptied the corridors because they knew the demon lords would be there. If I had ever come into this realm, I wouldn’t get in their way either. I
“The reason I brought all of you here today is…” Raven took out a page from the medical reports and looked at me. “What is that?” Ezra asked, scrunching his face. “The letter this omega wrote in the time she could have used to uproot the carvera and it has come to my knowledge that she knew how t
[Xanthea] Raven stopped the car outside the narrow street. That was as far as a car could go. The alleys leading to my home weren’t broad enough to accommodate a car. We had arrived in the Virgo pack in the Earthly realm. My head was still giddy because of the realm jump that Raven’s car made. A
I felt a knot tighten in my stomach as I led them to my apartment through the wooden stairwell. The key. I lifted the drying up flowerpot of forget-me-nots. The spare key was still stuck under the bottom of the pot. But when I tried the key, I found the door was already unlocked. I clearly remember
“Xanthea… is that you?” I heard the familiar voice of the old lady who was my neighbor, Mrs Miller. Wiping off my tears, I stood up and walked to the fence between our houses that were a little more than my knee height. She was the only neighbor who talked to me. She even took care of my flowers wh
[Xanthea] “They are going to pay for this. I’ll make them fucking pay for this!” Ezra growled darkly as his eyes glowed with danger. I stepped back from him, still shielding Mrs. Millers behind me. “Ezra…” Raven stepped towards him. “No, Raven, stay out of this! They have offended me. This is pe
“Sure demon lord. I use green tea as a base and I add some herbs and dried flower petals…” Mrs. Millers wrote down the tea recipe for Asher. It looked as though for him nothing was more important than paying undivided attention to her explanation for getting the right temperature to bring out tea’s
‘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
[Xanthea]Asher words reverberated in my mind like an eerie echo leeching into my thoughts.My grave? What the hell does that even mean?I am right here. Alive—That’s when it hit me, numbing my rage and fear, leaving me empty. My body went limp as the realization sunk deeper.If my heart didn’t sla
“Let me go!” my words came out as a command. “Right now.”He lowered his gaze to where our crotches still pressed together and smirked.“You can’t come all over my pants and expect me to let you go,” he said, cocking his brow. “That’s not how it works. You’ll have to take responsibility for what you
[Xanthea]Before I could comprehend Asher’s words, his energy fluctuated violently.My stomach lurched, a sharp pain shooting through my head from the abrupt realm jump. Disoriented, I blinked away the mist clouding my vision.A restless unease buried in my chest, my emotions rotting, leaving me wit
I hesitated, my breath stuttering, before I whispered, “Y-yes…”“Then I promise you, your villain will fuck you better than any hero ever did. Fuck love stories. Who wants to hear fake ‘I love yous’ when ‘I hate yous’ are so much more sincere and passionate? Right, wife?”He glared at me, withdrawin
