[Xanthea] Asher remained silent, contemplating me as though he were drinking in every minor detail of my face. His gaze turned stoic as they skimmed over the flowers. “Let’s just say… I’ve found a new hobby,” he said. I tried to read his eyes, his face, but failed. Except for the soft warmth in
Asher lifted himself off me and helped me out of the curtains. Lying on the floor, I stared at him blankly as he straddled my hips. “I saved the flowerpots,” I said, cradling the flowerpots against my chest. We broke into laughter. His laughter faded away a few seconds later, but I had to turn my
[Ezra] ~You asked if you wrote it right. And I said all your jumbled words make more sense to me than the verses of classic poems and paintings of famous artists.~ ~I wish I had the same ability to comprehend myself as I deciphered you once. Maybe then I’d be able to rest the storm that plagues me
I shouldn’t have gone for the sex night. I placed my hand over my eyes as the image of Xanthea being fucked on my bike flashed in my mind, closely followed by the image of me fucking her on the car right before her ablaze pack. ‘Alpha Ezra… It’s p-pretty, my b-burning pack. Thank you for doing thi
“Now… did she?” I peered at Xanthea’s picture in the file. “Yes. But the rest of the Virgo family and the pack were outright abusive to her. From physical harm to mental torture to bullying and harassing her. Especially Nikolai,” Nesryn said. I narrowed my eyes and stopped swiping as Nikolai’s pro
[Ezra] ~It had been years since I thought about you until I did. But I am in my mind more often lately. With your thoughts that echo and scream so loud, I feel their reverberations in my heart.~ ~She reminds me of you and she reminds me of you in ways I do not wish to be reminded. I hate myself fo
I lifted my brows. “Yeah… so. I wanted to ask what you need to go through college nowadays? Like what devices and apps do you need in your studies and all? Especially if you are… taking… a fast course?” “Why ya wanna join Helxton? Aren’t you already passed out from the astronomy department? Now ya
“You still like it strong?” Raven asked. “Yup! Just like you make it,” I said. Asher and Raven were at two ends of the islands and I stood in between them, helping both of them in turns, passing them stuff they needed. Because that’s all I was good for. I hated cooking, but I loved eating. While
“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
