Bracing myself, I mirrored his move. We leapt into the air, our legs arcing towards each other. The air crackled, awaiting the impact of our raw strengths.Just as our kicks were about to connect, Asher teleported between us. His arms shot out, intercepting both of our kicks with a thunderous impact
[Xanthea]“Ezra has set up and customized the laptop and phone for you. You know how to use a phone, right?” Raven asked while driving me to Helxton as I scrolled around the phone.I nodded quickly and fumbled with the phone, accidentally turning on the music that boomed through the speaker. Startle
Making some distance between Raven and me, I averted my gaze.“Don’t look at other men,” his voice was low but held a serious depth. “Don’t look at them with these challenging eyes. Don’t look at them at all. And don’t let them look at you the way we do.”His words did something strange to my heart,
This might seem too much, but with a strategic approach, I can reach the passing points within a year. I just need to get my basics clear so that I can quickly catch up to my regular lectures.Excitement coursed through me, making my heart swell with happiness.“Control your heart. Its badum badum m
Karima stiffened and kept peering at the boy in the hospital building as though she hadn’t heard a word I said.I stepped closer to her, and she timidly stepped away from me.“Don’t waste your time on them. Most here won’t even dare look in your direction,” Lana said, standing beside me. “As for tha
[Xanthea]It took me about five minutes to reach Azum’s library.As I jogged closer to the library, I heard the crackling noises of the lightning coming from within.Oh no!“Zosha—”I was about to open the double door of the library, but I stopped, panting slowly.The pressure of the power that came
My eyes widened as I realized Lana could control and manipulate the plants and their growth. In some intricately complex way, her powers complemented Zosha’s, almost as if…I placed my hand over my thundering heart.It was as if Raven foresaw this event and he chose Lana as my healing partner becaus
He squatted near Lana. His expressions grew bluer as he examined her wings.“I’m sorry, princess. I wish I had time to get your permission, but they’ll be here any time,” Azum nervously glanced towards the door and then gave Lana an apologetic smile. “But your wings. They’ll need special care to hea
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
