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
[Ezra]“I knew I’d find you here,” I breathed. My footsteps echoed as I stepped closer to the bar counter in Asher’s penthouse.The chandelier above cast a soft, golden glow that mingled with the darkness, creating an ambiance where one could drown and forget oneself in the haze of gin and smoke.An
Asher was the complete opposite. He remained silent most of the time, observing from the sidelines, as if trying to dissolve into the background. While Raven demanded all of mother’s attention, Asher seemed satisfied with the slightest stroke of her hand.Bare minimum had always been more than enoug
[Ezra]I still remember the first time Asher visited the Aile castle after his long absence. He came to us with his brand new toys.‘I didn’t unbox them. I thought we could play with them together,’ Asher said. I don’t remember if Asher said that with a smile or not, because I was busy observing hi
Raven kept trying to fit himself in the mold father had crafted for Asher, but he kept getting hurt and eventually he gave up. He understood he could no longer please our father by reaching the standards Asher had already crossed, so he rebelled and chose a completely different path for himself in h
“Fine,” I said, got up from the chair and placed my hand on his shoulder. “If you are fine, then I don’t think you should have a problem going back to Xanthea because she is not fine. She is hurting and not because you hurt her, but because you left her. Let’s go!”Asher shut his eyes, taking a deep
[Ezra]Asher picked up her phone and read the news:Bride or luna?In the recent visit to the mortal realm, Alpha Ezra Xipher declared the triplet’s bride as the luna of the Prime Infernal pack in front of the demon and mortal witnesses.Sources claim the triplets have finally found the one they wer
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
