[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
And that’s how, from being the future Luna of the pack, Viella became just one of the potential candidates, a status she didn’t accept.She was confident that she’d become the luna one day, and I wondered where her confidence came from.Yes, she was a powerful woman with wits and best immortality ge
“Huh! How can you be so blind, Asher?” she gritted her teeth. “Your brothers are trying to take away everything you have built. They are a threat to your position. They are weakening your standing as an alpha. They don’t want to deal with the complicated stuff, but they have no problem reaping the p
‘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
