[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
[Xanthea] “I… am sorry…” My heart hammered wildly in my chest as I impulsively blurted out the stream of apologies. Still perched on his shoes, I loosened my grip on his clothes, but he still held me just as tight against himself until he let go abruptly and I stumbled to the floor. Bringing my
“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
