[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
[Asher]The ring on Xanthea’s finger was fascinating.Very… fascinating.“Ezra… ah! Ah! Oh god…”Xanthea’s breathing turned harsher as she clenched the bedsheet, stifling her moans into a silent cry.Ezra’s hips collided with her in a rough thrust, yanking a cry right out of her throat. Panting, she
Her makeup smeared sultrily, especially around her eyes and lips, as a slick film of sweat spread across her skin.Ezra knit his brows in a carnal frustration. He held her hips firmly against his as he fucked her harder through her orgasm. Slumping on him, Xanthea arched herself against him.“Fuckin
The controllers frequently singled out groups of weak bloods, forcing them into perilous situations before kidnapping the survivors under the cover of night. These survivors were subjected to experiments, injected with various drugs, and then sent back within the walls.Most died, but those who surv
[Xanthea]Asher’s tone grew heavier and I could see why through my mother’s memories.“The weak bloods were promised a permanent secure shelter within these walls…”All the giant gates and smaller exits of the walls were closed, trapping all the weak bloods while they were fast asleep.For the first
Waiting, uncertain if someone would show up, was the worst feeling. I knew because I’d felt it when I called Ezra for help with the kids and waited. Those few minutes shattered me. I couldn’t even imagine what six-year-old Ezra endured, waiting for years.“A girl had been observing Ezra all this tim
The soft flutter in my chest instantly turned into electrifying goosebumps as he wrapped his fingers around mine, his grip tightening, holding my hand with an intensity that sent a shiver through me.We stood at the same distance as before, yet somehow, we had come closer.There were no words betwee
[Xanthea]‘… to cure the curse your mother put upon us because only you can.’Asher’s words hit me like a blow to the chest, leaving me breathless and blank. I stared at him as thousands of thoughts rammed into my mind. I was scared like I had never been before.Although I couldn’t decipher who I wa
There were glimpses and unfinished sentences. Lifeless body of a child, probably a weak blood.‘Another disappointm—’Peeled skin. Severed muscles.‘Burn him, prepare the other—’Eyeballs leaking from the eye sockets. People struggling as her helpers stuffed clothes in their mouth to muffle their gr
Experimenting on living subjects thrilled her. It was all fun for her. It was astonishing how she remained utterly undisturbed by it all. She justified every action with the belief that it was for the advancement of healing and immortality.‘Thank you for your contribution,’ she would say to each te
‘And that is why they will be punished as well,’ Alpha Caelum replied coldly. ‘As for you, you are hereby expelled from the Solvaris pack — and the Celestial realm.’My mother looked devastated, but she didn’t plead for mercy.‘I accept,’ she said brazenly as she strutted out of the court.With a sl
[Xanthea]I stared at Asher, my chest tightening as his words echoed in the air, heavy and inescapable. My mind scrambled to process what he had just said.“No.” The word slipped out, trembling and frail. “That’s not… It’s not possible.”Asher’s gaze remained distant. There was a cruel pity in the w
