An unfathomable uneasiness knotted in my chest at his words. Tucking my hair, he lifted me off the couch. “A-alpha…” “There has been an unsaid rule among us. Me and my brothers for our brides. Do you know what that is?” He asked. I shook my head, trying to loosen his grip on my hair. “No solo s
[Xanthea] I stepped out of Raven’s cabin. The door closed with a soft click behind me. A shiver ran down my spine. The cold air brushed past my skin, carrying with itself the warmth from his touch that still lingered on my body. The heat and high still throbbing through my veins to my core. I tri
“But it’s not enough. I wish to be useful to you, your highness,” she said. “You are useful and absolutely amazing. And not just for me, but for every patient in this hospital. You are a nurse and you work hard every day to make others’ lives a little better, a little less painful. Above all, you t
[Xanthea] The next day, by the evening, Mavka had packed my stuff, and it was already sent to the Aile castle. “I thought I’ll be prepared for the night in the castle,” I said as Mavka and other maids helped me wear the black lace garter belt lingerie. Mavka merely glanced at me before getting on
Contemplating, I pursed my lips before answering. “B-bra…” He chuckled. I lifted my gaze at him, feeling my face burn with embarrassment. There was something different about his laughter. Maybe that’s what a hearty laughter sounded like. I peered at him, dumbfounded. I could have never imagined
[Xanthea] Opening the door of Raven’s car, I stepped out. Gasping, I gaped, transfixed at the Glass palace. The multistorey palace was made of transparent glass. Glass palace was especially built to keep all the vehicles owned by the triplet alphas. I unconsciously stepped off the road onto the
My eyes met a few staff members before they bowed and, out of habit and utter awkwardness, I bowed back. “If you love bowing so much, I can make you bow in a lot better positions,” Raven said nonchalantly, his eyes fixed on his phone screen. I felt a tingly flutter erupt in my belly at his words.
“I-Is he… here?” I asked hesitantly. Raven tilted his head, a smirk playing across his eyes. “You want him here?” “I thought maybe… he was here because of the company…” “Just because we own something doesn’t mean we’ll be taking care of it day and night. A company this big can function all on it
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
