[Xanthea]“Ah!”Our bodies collided with feverish intensity, creating an intoxicating mix of pain and pleasure as he slammed inside me.Moans shivered out of my mouth as he fucked me harder from behind. His thrusts were more unyielding than when he had started.My body moved just an inch away from h
Every time his palms pressed over my hard nipples, a current zapped through my body, collecting in my core and making my pussy throb as my insides clenched around his cock shamelessly.I threw back my head, my mouth agape with a stalled breath as he slowly caressed my nipples, teasing them between h
[Xanthea]The haze of the heat clouding my mind cleared away. My body felt a lot fresher and rejuvenated. And it was now I understood why people said sex was the best cure for heats.Despite my body feeling more alive than ever, a sharp soreness tightened in my muscles. I could barely keep up with A
I felt him place his palm under my ear. “Xanthea…”“Yes, husband?” I smiled.“Thank you,” he said in a serious tone. “But you can stop pretending now.”Tears stung into my eyes. Blinking fast, I shook my head, lowering my eyelids.“P-pretending? I don’t…”“I know you are hurting,” he said simply.“N
His touch was gentle again, his presence comforting like it used to be before tonight.The restlessness in my chest got worse when he picked me in his arms. It almost felt like every emotion I was feeling… wasn’t mine, but someone else’s.I took a deep breath and before I could gather myself and ask
[Raven] “Asher!” Ezra called out just as Asher shut the door behind him. Xanthea sat on the bed, frozen like a statue, as she peered at the closed door with petrified eyes. The way tears trailed down her flushed cheeks, it seemed as if she was having a completely involuntary reaction to a shock.
Checking the bite marks on her inner thighs, I mindlinked the nurse in the castle to bring me a potion kit and warm wet towels. A few minutes later, the nurses entered the room with their heads bowed, kept the things I needed on the table, and left. While I prepared the recovery and stamina poti
I had no plans to delay her admission to Helxton any longer. She had to be on her feet by the morning and I would do anything to make that happen. Ensuring she was comfortable on her side; I applied the herbal oil on her body and massaged her waist, hips, and legs. The oil and massage would help h
“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
