“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
[Xanthea] Ezra’s overflowing bloodlust engulfed every inch of air within and around the Virgo palace. The time seemed to have come to a standstill within the perimeters. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have been stained by the sheer darkness of the moment. Thunder rumbled amongst the looming
‘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
