Meesa paused for a while, probably peering at the fruits rolling across the dining table, then she continued. “Your mother started this tradition of hurting and healing. On one hand, she had an affair with my husband and on the other she helped me bear children with her unusual medicines. Pain and
I looked at her, confused. “That’s the name of the person whose identity your mother stole. Freya Plath is not your mother. And identity theft is the worst of the worst crimes. Where does your mother stand on your moral compass now? No one knows where she came from. No one knows her name. No one kn
[Asher Xipher] “You don’t even come close to the dirt they walk on. Ezra. Asher. Raven. They are my husbands. They are my demon lords! And they are never going down!” A small smirk played across Raven’s lips as he peered at Xanthea on his phone screen. I arrived at the Aile castle a few minutes a
Narrowing my eyes, I stared at Atticus. “There’s still time, Atticus. Choose your sides wisely,” Ezra said. “No soul suffers in vain. For some, it’s forging for the future and for some, it’s karma for their past. And you must never pity the latter because their suffering is punishment for their own
“She’s just drunk,” Ezra said. Raven knit his brows, analyzing Xanthea closely. Ezra pulled over outside a graveyard. When Ezra said he was taking her to the Virgo pack, I knew exactly where their excursion might end — her mother’s grave. Ezra draped his coat around her shoulders and back. In the
[Ezra] I never thought I would ever say this, much less accept it to myself, but Xanthea was anything but weak. I was foolish to think she was a weak soul, that she needed me for her vengeance. All Xanthea needed was the space to be herself and a security that it was ok to be herself. She needed a
It was better this way when she was asleep, when I knew she wouldn’t remember the night. But I would remember the night just as much as I would remember the day. Today was going to stay with me for a long time. You are growing on me, Xanthea and I do not know how to stop it. But I no longer want to
“Fuck!” I squeezed her breasts, feeling myself reach the snapping point. Her insides tightened around my cock, and I slammed my hand over my face. “Damn it!” I groaned, exploding inside her. Running my hand swiftly through my hair, I fucked her faster, burying myself deeper inside her. “Fuck yes
“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
