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
[Xanthea] I peered at the High lady. “It’s ok if you don’t wish to,” she said. “The position of a mother varies in the lives of different people and as far as I have known you, you regard your mother quite highly. So, it’s completely fine if you don’t wish to call me mom. Not everyone deserves to
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
I shook my head, tears streaming down my eyes incessantly.I wanted to deny it all, forget it all, but even a fleeting glimpse was enough to carve it into my memory forever. The horrors I had already witnessed sent shivers through my body, and just the thought of what more might lie ahead filled me
Even so, I could neither wake up nor save myself. I had been buried in a grave of my mother’s memories in the middle of nowhere. Some of them were so horrifying, for a second I thought I was losing my mind.I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t understand. I was suffocating, but I knew that even death woul
[Xanthea]‘May you find my guilt at the right time and may it save you from your own. May you find answers to all your questions in my memories and I hope you hate me a little less.’A woman’s voice echoed in the back of my mind, weaving through the symphony of shattering glass when my eyes locked w
Ezra staggered backward. His gaze flickered toward her one last time before we lost him.The next few minutes felt to have slowed and stretched into hours.With every shuffle of feet and the soldier’s attempt to minimize damage, chaos rose like doom.I glanced towards the door, opening it up. Nesryn
Ezra clenched his jaws while his expression flickered — anguish broke through the hardened lines of his face. His eyes, pained and bleary, betrayed all his senses.Unable to summon words or reason, Ezra stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.“I can’t…” His voice cracked, unguarded. “Please, d
