“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
“Narcissist!” “How cute of you to say that…” “Will you stop panicking? You’re giving me a heart attack!” Zosha countered. Azum took a deep breath and nodded. “What about all the attacks you gave me by bringing her here?” “She needed help!” “Look, Zosha, you can bring as many lab rats as you wa
[Xanthea] I was about to step beyond the university campus, but I took back my step. My heart raced, breath quickened, filling my lungs with icy breaths. I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. Gritting my teeth, I shut my eyes, hating myself a little more. I am really a cowar
“It’s scary, isn’t it? Life is scary. I know it’s scary to live a life that’s not under our control. When someone else gets to define who we can be and what we can and cannot do. More than scary, it’s painful…” I cautiously stepped closer to her. “My mother had a different view. She used to say th
So… the celestials know about the curse and the throne madness.The throne madness, huh?Right. That was the very reason the curse was created in the first place.I looked at Asher and all the instances of Alpha Deimos, the demon lords’ father, suffering from the madness flashed before my eyes.Moth
The prince took a quick gulp before reading the letter addressed to my grandfather.“~Father. A lot happened after I fell from grace. I’ve missed you, mother and my siblings dearly over all these years. I want to tell you so many things, but perhaps it’s better if I don’t. Yet, there’s a part of my
Nikolai read the letter further where mother revealed her real identity to Alpha Valdimir and she assured him that the celestials would help him protect his pack.She specifically asked him to burn down her books and diaries before interacting with the celestials. Doing so would break the seal on th
[Xanthea]“These letters are enchanted and only the ones they are addressed to can unseal or open them,” the prince said.He paused.“They’ve been kept in Alpha Valdimir’s care since your mother’s death. All of them have been opened by their addressees… except yours.”“Alpha Valdimir gave me everyth
But Asher—Every inch of him was covered in them. Dense. Spreading. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been wounded critically.How is this even possible?What the hell has he been through to end up like this?No… who did this to him?For a second, I thought it was the holy rain. Or maybe
“What’s there to understand about a grown-ass man who can’t even control his emotions? He looks like he’s a high rank celestial. Still, he lacks basic manners, etiquettes, even the rationality to fathom the consequences of his actions? He attacked the Alpha of the Infernal Pack. Do you think the Pri
[Xanthea]A sharp pulse of pain zapped through my head, every nerve and blood vessel screaming in agony. My muscles spasmed, my bones felt as if they were melting as the life force was yanked from my body and poured into my tongue — fueling the spell with raw energy.My vision blurred for a moment,
Mother had performed the spells and drawn the magic circles and symbols so many times that they became an instinct ingrained in her. And that instinct was passed down to me.I bit the tip of my finger. Ignoring Asher’s protests, I drew the recovery symbol, a symbol that accelerated healing, on his c
But I stayed calm, drawing in a deep breath while all my mother’s knowledge, experience and abilities manifested in their full force within me.I had naturally inherited 5% of my mother’s basic healer skills, which included things like instant diagnostic sight, blood analysis and manipulation, mana
