Ezra took in a rough inhale, clenching and unclenching his jaws, looking outside the glass walls at the sea of skyscrapers. All of us sat in silence for a while before Asher began serving me breakfast. “Alpha, let me serve. You don’t have to. I can—” I said, getting up from the chair slightly, alm
“Xanthea…” A faint voice echoed through me. “It’s ok, angel. Everything you feel is valid, and it’s not your fault in any way. It’s ok.” Ezra stroked my back, hugging me tightly against himself. I felt a jolt behind my guts as I crashed back into reality. Parting from me, Ezra cupped my face in hi
[Ezra] As I entered the dining room again, the first thing I noticed were the two flower pots placed in the middle of the table. I squinted my eyes. Aren’t they the same flowers Xanthea had in her garden? I looked at Raven. He cocked a brow, gesturing towards Asher who was in the kitchen prepar
“Me too, Ezra. I am serious so that you don’t have to be. And everything I have done so far and am still doing is for us. To end what our father started, to fix what he ruined—” “Alright!” I snapped, clenching my fists. Asher let out a sigh. “And you still ask why I don’t talk? Because you are no
“No,” he said with finality in his tone. “You don’t have time to waste on that cat.” “A cat?” Asher chimed in. “Not now, Asher. We’re talking about a werecat who cannot control her healing powers,” Raven stopped Asher before he could obsess over cats again. “But she controlled her powers. You saw
[Xanthea] Healer Bazaar: Where magic meets medicine Catering needs of healers since the beginning of the time. (In collaboration with Helxton and Wrengmore) I read the words on the arched wooden hoarding. Multi-storey buildings flanked the cobblestone pathway. There was something about the vib
“They must have gone that way!” The people following us passed by. Once all of them were gone, I bit my lips, breaking into laughter. Ezra’s hands wrapped around my waist. He pulled me closer, his eyes lingering on my lips before they traveled back to my eyes. But I couldn’t stop laughing. “Wha
Baby unicorns? Real unicorns? My heart twisted at the mere thought as the horror behind the production of those vials flashed before my eyes. They no longer looked beautiful to me. “The abilities of the potion stored in them get enhanced considerably,” the owner said. “But they are not for sale.
‘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
