[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
After a while, she clenched my jacket tighter. I could feel the charge build in her hair as I stroked her. She tried to pull herself away from me. “It’s gonna happen again… please go away from me! I am dangerous! Let go!” she sniffled. “It’s alright… I am not going anywhere.” “No…” she groaned.
[Xanthea] My eyelids fluttered to his eyes, trying to decipher his gaze. “T-thank you…” I said. He cocked a brow, tilting his head. I lowered my gaze and continued. “... for bringing me here.” “Mostly canary serenades the vocal cord. Seems like a cat did that job this time,” he chuckled slight
They used magical symbols and circles like we used machines in our earthly realm to diagnose. I was curious and wished to know more about these fascinating ways, but… I anxiously looked at the time. It was 9:01 already. I had to be in the Aile castle before 9:09. I had no idea how Ezra and Asher
“Closer, omega. Bring that cunt closer. Your pussy shouldn’t lose contact with my dick tonight…” he said, and my heart skipped a beat. He started the bike, and I hugged him tightly. Heat of his body raced into mine as he rode the bike out of the parking lot and I shut my eyes. Even though it was
[Raven] Out of nihility, two sports bikes burst onto the road, racing behind us with an adrenaline-pumped intensity that echoed in the air with the roar of their engines. Within moments, they surged forward, effortlessly catching up with my bike. My eyes darted from Asher’s sleek white bike on th
‘Why did you come? I merely shared my live location and a selfie with our omega bride. You didn’t have to come if you didn’t want to,’ I replied. I expected Asher to show up almost instantly, given how protective he had been of her from the very beginning. But I wasn’t so sure if Ezra would show
“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
