“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 royal Virgo palace was on fire and so were the surrounding areas. Most areas that Ezra burned down were all high end and heavily developed and populated areas. He grabbed my chin, squeezing my cheeks. He made me look at the royal palace through my bleary gaze. “Look! Look! Look at them burn, X
[Xanthea] After our return to the Infernal pack, Ezra departed without uttering a word. Asher accompanied Ezra, while Raven brought me back to the hospital. He said that I still required continuous monitoring and medical attention to deal with the lingering effects of the carvera poison. It had b
“Dragons, especially dead dragons, don’t make mistakes, Raven,” Asher said firmly, holding my gaze. “There is no greater healer than a dragon, and they chose you. They responded to the purity of your heart and blessed you. So that night, when you felt nothing but helpless, you unknowingly came up wi
[Raven]Asher peered at me, his gaze lingering longer than usual, before turning toward the distant walls with a heavy sigh.“I can’t believe you are saying this,” Asher said.I lowered my eyes.“Me too,” I admitted, my voice quiet. “I can’t believe I want those people near Ezra again, but… my knowl
It took him a few minutes to fully return to reality. He squinted his eyes, his hand pressing to his forehead as if trying to orient himself.“Raven?” He mumbled.I stared at him, panting. Licking the dryness from my lips, I forced myself to calm down, trying to hide the frenzied worry that had cons
A dense forest now sprawled across the grounds where the FA facility once stood. Beyond the woods loomed the accursed walls, cloaked in vines and creeping vegetation, still as tall and foreboding as ever.My blood boiled with uncontainable rage every time I saw this place. Why Asher hadn’t torn down
[Raven]“The sutures are stable, Alpha, but… Alpha Ezra’s wounds aren’t healing.”“No potion, in any dose, is effective.”“It’s almost as though something is blocking his recovery.”I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to pacify the throbbing headache as I went through the scrolls of medical not
“Asher…” I whimpered, unsure if I wanted him to stop his steps or words.“I am used to being invisible to everyone around me, but not you. Please, not you,” he begged, his voice raw as he fought to keep his composure.I shut my eyes, covering my face with my hands, hoping to gather myself, but I end
The distance between us was nothing, yet I kept my head low. Not because his aura had turned heavier, nor because I could feel his gaze searing into my soul, but because I was terrified. Terrified that this time, when I looked into his eyes, I would see the love I had only dreamt of.After a long mo
Electric sparks ignited beneath my skin at his touch, as though my body were the black, blank night sky and he was the moon, the stars, the clouds and everything cosmic.When his lips finally met mine, a weak smile quivered on my face as tears traced warm paths down my cheeks, every inch of my body
[Xanthea]A shroud of darkness enveloped me as his wings wrapped around us in an embrace that had never felt so hollow and full at the same time.My entire existence had abruptly been reduced to a body.My body felt alien. A hollow shell that carried my mother’s sins in every fiber. I wanted to rip
