I leisurely ran my fingers from her waist, up her back, tracing her spine. “Alpha…” She gasped with a faint moan as goosebumps shot through her skin. Her eyelids fluttered shut as she bit down on her lower lip. Pulling the strings of the dress, I yanked her closer to me. She arched her chest away
“What?” she asked, tilting her head slightly. “Let’s pretend to be a happily married couple who can’t live without one another, even for a second. Today, you are allowed to do anything you want with me... as your husband. Behave however you want as my wife. Like you would with the man of your fanta
[Ezra] After a relatively tense drive, I finally parked my car near the entrance of the Virgo palace. Xanthea hadn’t said a word ever since we began our ride. I knew she was sitting with her thoughts, revisiting her memories and reliving the pain. I could read her eyes and how they lit up and du
Those demons were invisible to mortal eyes. Only the spiritually awakened mortals could see those demons with naked eyes. And it was the duty of us demons to stop the spiritual awakening in the mortals by influencing them with pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Making them seek ex
“It’s important to make sure the gift doesn’t have some hazardous substance for the safety of the royals. Who knows what might be in those boxes? It’s not uncommon in our realm to receive mutilated body parts of our family members—” Before I could finish my sentence, Nikolai threw the box away. Cle
[Xanthea] Goosebumps zapped through my body as Ezra’s words sent an intense ripple of heavy gravity across the crowd, unleashing a storm within me. His protective arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer and closer into a possessive embrace. Ezra’s growl echoed in my mind repeatedly. ‘Bow
I smiled faintly. I could love them and keep it all locked in my heart. Their hearts didn’t have to know. I know the circumstances that brought all of us together weren’t good. I still had so many questions I wanted to ask them. But the first time I felt welcomed and cared for was with them. The
I shook my head, panic rising within me. “I-I-I was just… giving him the directions.” “Directions to your house?” He tilted his head, bringing his face close to mine. “Nikolai—” I yelped as he grabbed my shoulder in a bruising grip. “Don’t think just because you are moving out, you can live how
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
