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
I knew she meant every word she said. When she could force herself to give exams with a broken hand, I knew she could do anything for her dreams.Good for her and me. I didn’t have to delay her admission.***Asher got to his feet, and the hall followed him.What a pain.With a heavy sigh, I got to
He didn’t have to change if he didn’t want to. But if he chose to toddle, his brothers would be walking right behind him, crushing everyone who got in his way, breaking every hand that tried to hold him back.‘Imagine everyone before you as sushi.’ I mindlinked with Ezra.Ezra looked at me.I smirke
[Raven]Ezra stopped typing on the keyboard, ending the five heavy minutes that felt like five hours because of all the tension it created in the hall. The wall screen was a mess of complex code and algorithms running independently now.The hall was crammed with an uneasy silence. Every eye was glue
Ezra was clearly pointing towards Viella because she, too, could use her wolf’s powers to manipulate the minds of weaker demon werewolves.“This news deals with an event that occurred within the last two days in the mortal realm. The public doesn’t have such easy access to the mortal realm. Even the
Viella bit her lower lip, glaring at Ezra.“The news article could at most be just a civilian joke that went viral. But it doesn’t seem so anymore. I smell conspiracy brewing underneath it to attack the Alpha. And any form of attack, digital or not, on the Alpha of the pack is recognized as — treaso
[Raven]“Forbidden! Forbidden!”“Unacceptable!”“Absolutely not!”“We will never approve of this! Never!”“A mortal as a luna candidate!? Preposterous!”“This is against our law! This completely mocks the rules of our pack. Not just our pack, but all the immortals!”“There are limits that even an al
“And that is also the reason the council will happily accept my decision with the majority. Anyone who wishes to oppose me or challenge my authority can do so if they dare to stand against me. So then… what was the council saying? I remember some people had a problem with my mortal wife becoming my
“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
