[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,
[Raven] “Should I schedule the meeting tomorrow?” Nyssa asked. “Well, without reports, I don’t see what else we could be discussing in the meeting,” I replied, strolling into my cabin in the hospital. “We can have a private meeting, you know…” she teased. “Just us, and we don’t even need to talk.
“Oh…” I leaned forward in my chair. “Now your demon wolf can read my mind, huh? Then enlighten me. What am I expecting from her?” “I don’t know. But you gave her a chance. A chance, Raven. You don’t give people chances! You never gave people chances before.” I ran my fingers through my hair, holdi
[Xanthea] “I didn’t expect you to visit me again,” said the High lady. “Why not, High lady?” I asked, preparing the color palette, brushes and blank canvas on the over-bed table for her. She looked into my eyes and then lowered her gaze. “Well… because of what happened yesterday with Nyssa,” she
I lowered my head, biting my lower lip. “People say after dying, the souls of the mortals in the earthly realm goes to either the celestial realm or the infernal realm… then could it be that someday I…” I paused, unsure if what I was about to say would make any sense. “I think I know what you wish
“My mother had blonde hair just like mine, a heart-shaped face, sharp features, long eyelashes, greenish blue eyes, thin lips… oh! And a mole right at the corner of her right eye… her skin as fair as a swan… oh! And her nose…” The next few hours with the High lady were all about my mother. I never
“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
