I contemplated the bike’s slanting seat. It was so high. How was I supposed to sit on it? “When I said I wouldn’t let you fall… I wasn’t just talking about the hoverboard,” he said in an impassive tone. I contemplated my reflection in the shield of his helmet. I couldn’t see his face or his expres
[Xanthea] Raven drove slowly into the university premises. Pulling up the shield of my helmet, I looked at the grand statue of the four horned devil wearing a skeletal mask. Several smaller demon statues surrounded him. The wings of all those demons were broken. The smaller demons clambered on o
Sneaking into the parking lot, stealing a kiss, or maybe something more. I lowered my gaze as I felt the heat fade away from my face at the thought. Before my thoughts could occupy my mind further, the glowing elevator panel caught my attention. Instead of numbers of the floors, there were depart
“You were having a nap. I didn’t want to disturb you.” The cigarette boy said. “I am your healing partner, meow! You can’t just leave me there, meow!” she hissed, baring her teeth at him. “Do you know how expensive it is to have me as your healing partner, meow?” “I never wanted you as my healing
[Xanthea] As soon as the door of the elevator opened, a whole nother world of healers opened up to me, bustling with activities and filled with a diverse assembly of students, staff, and uniqueness of the Infernal pack. “Where the hell did you teleport the patient, Karima!?” I almost bumped into
A heavy horrifying feeling soon replaced the excitement in my veins. I knit my brows, trying hard to not look into the labs. “Don’t worry, they are trained as subjects. They have a high tolerance to physical pain and they are licensed subjects. They earn a living by allowing the healing students to
“Oh… that’s... new…” “Yeah, but that Kieth of a shit is an ungrateful brat! Meow! Meow!” Zosha hissed, stamping her feet angrily on the floor as rage flashed in her eyes with tears again. “By the way, where are we going?” I asked. The busy corridors became more and more isolated as we moved ahead
[Xanthea] Azum stopped at some distance from me. His gaze tried to decipher me while his face remained unreadable. Then he shut his eyes, his fingers glided in the air as though he were playing an invisible piano. And then his hands moved as though he was conducting an orchestra. He started hummi
‘The only one who gets to decide who her family is, is Xanthea herself. However, if she dares to choose anyone other than us, that’s going to be a different story.’‘The celestials are helping Nikolai because he has something that confirmed Xanthea’s identity as Cadence’s daughter to them. They don’
Caelum Solvaris had only one son, a weak blood, who had disappeared ages ago. Officially, it was claimed that the boy was undergoing private spiritual training to become the next Alpha of the Solvaris pack, which was a common practice in the Celestial realm. So everyone believed it.But I was sure t
[Asher]The winds were changing, and the timelines had shifted.Xanthea’s face rested against my chest. I gently tucked the free strands behind her ear and she snuggled against my touch.This was probably the first time in her life she was at peace, not at war with herself. Just a glance at her was
I licked my dry lips, swallowing hard.“I feel, Asher.”Letting go of his wrists, I sat on his waist, lowering my head so that my hair hid my face from him.“What do you feel?” he asked in a soft, calm tone, the word ‘feel’ drifting from his lips like a caress.“Angry. So. So. So fucking angry.” My
But somehow, no matter how harsh his words were or how deeply they cut, a strange relief washed over me, because his words gave me a closure I didn’t know I needed.I came to terms with the fact that my mother was gone. I finally accepted the one thing I had been denying all my life: my mother was d
[Xanthea]Asher words reverberated in my mind like an eerie echo leeching into my thoughts.My grave? What the hell does that even mean?I am right here. Alive—That’s when it hit me, numbing my rage and fear, leaving me empty. My body went limp as the realization sunk deeper.If my heart didn’t sla
“Let me go!” my words came out as a command. “Right now.”He lowered his gaze to where our crotches still pressed together and smirked.“You can’t come all over my pants and expect me to let you go,” he said, cocking his brow. “That’s not how it works. You’ll have to take responsibility for what you
[Xanthea]Before I could comprehend Asher’s words, his energy fluctuated violently.My stomach lurched, a sharp pain shooting through my head from the abrupt realm jump. Disoriented, I blinked away the mist clouding my vision.A restless unease buried in my chest, my emotions rotting, leaving me wit
I hesitated, my breath stuttering, before I whispered, “Y-yes…”“Then I promise you, your villain will fuck you better than any hero ever did. Fuck love stories. Who wants to hear fake ‘I love yous’ when ‘I hate yous’ are so much more sincere and passionate? Right, wife?”He glared at me, withdrawin
