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

“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.
‘Damage level?’ Icifer asked.‘Low,’ I said.Icifer allowed the mouse prince to pass through, who was shortly followed by Nikolai, who tried to sneak behind him, thinking it would be safe to get near my shadows now that two high rank celestials had entered.But only the two made it through.The mort
The relentless frequency of those attempts reflected his desperation. And the fact that he was here today himself could only mean one thing — he was here to rescue his granddaughter from demon lords, by any means necessary.I had a feeling he’d risk war for it if necessary, but no one understood the
[Asher]Crepuscular rays of the sun split through the sky like blades of light as dawn bled across the horizon.A pillar of light, streaked with golden scintillation, crashed down from the heavens near the mouse prince — bridging the Celestial realm to the Earthly realm. And one by one, higher celes
“Since you haven’t taken us back to the Infernal realm already, it means…” she hesitated.“I want you to meet them,” I said.“Why?” I felt her fingers tremble. “Is it because of… my… m-mother?”She might have gotten out of her guilt, but that didn’t change a thing about her feelings towards her moth
I knew. That was exactly why I wanted to suppress him. But arguing would be pointless.Icifer wouldn’t back down, and if I pushed too hard, he might not let Xanthea meet the celestials at all.I shut my eyes.I’ll just have to deal with it.But before that…My hands glided up Xanthea’s thighs. My sh
He chuckled, glaring at the barrier with a sneer.“Here, he’s just another demon. And demons don’t stand a chance against celestials. You and your people can easily slay him and bring the great demon lord to his knees — to his fucking doom,” Nikolai said.I tilted my head.The arrogant superiority t
[Asher]“The crown prince is here!”A celestial guard’s voice rang across the Virgo army, silencing the murmurs as a masked figure strode forward.The emblem of the Solvaris pack was engraved into his golden chest armor, adorned with the complete nine stars of the Swan constellation. The celestials
‘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
