[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
“Really? How is she?” I asked. “Still the same, if you ask me, but Alpha Raven says she is improving. He has restarted her usual treatment. High lady’s nurse was talking to other nurses about it. She said it was like restarting the treatment all over again, but it seemed as though they started with
[Xanthea] “Luna candidate?” I mumbled to myself. “Yes, the women in line to become the next Luna of the Prime Infernal pack. There are several potential Luna candidates. Each of my brothers has a woman they would want as their Luna. So, essentially, there are top three potential Luna candidates, a
“Well, looks like you don’t know, mother,” Nesryn got up and strolled behind me. Holding my shoulders, she pushed me closer to the High lady’s bed. “It was because of her hint and knowledge that Raven could create this new, less painful treatment plan for you. So a little gratitude to her won’t hurt
She looked at me and smiled slightly, brightening her ethereal features even more. “Thank you for telling me that.” “Umm… pardon me… High lady, but… if you permit, can I come to visit you more often?” I stammered. “I’d love that, dear, but I want you to concentrate on yourself and your healing. A
[Xanthea] The triplets were so lucky to have a mother like her. If I was in their place, I would give her all my attention and time to the point she’d get annoyed with me. I shook my head at the funny thought and lowered my eyes . My gaze fell on the reports the nurse had placed earlier. It was t
Nyssa narrowed her eyes, her glare traveling from the nurse to me. She looked clearly annoyed. “And can you bring those reports from there before Raven gets here?” Nyssa asked sharply. “I didn’t know mortals could teleport faster than immortals.” “I-I can’t…” “Of course you can’t! You just like a
“Hmm. Interesting. So, you mean to say the reports are gone, and this omega claims she can write the seven variations of the report accurately to save this nurse from getting punished?” “Yes, and will you stop enjoying it?” Nyssa gave Raven a look. “How can I not? This will be fun.” He shrugged,
“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
