[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
[Raven]“Ciao, Alpha Raven. It’s been a while,” Draknor, our beta, greeted me with a smile, making his icy gaze feel colder.I just stared back, not bothering to return the fake pleasantries.“It’s so rare to see you around here. I thought you abhorred this place,” Draknor said, his voice dripping w
The High Elder’s seat was in the largest balcony of the first floor. The High Elder represented all the elders’ voices and was also the speaker of the council.The special jury created for the Luna selection sat on the upper balcony, their presence hidden in the shadows. It was because of their fea
“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
