He warned me to stay away from Zosha and here I was carrying her in my pouch.After the anatomy lecture when Boredbones went back in there, he told me that Zosha had recovered. She was conscious, but still fast asleep since healing herself used up most of her energy.And the boy cried silently to sl
[Xanthea]I froze as a tremble rushed to the tips of my cold fingers. My breaths grew shallow and quick as the blade pressed harder against my skin.My mind raced, but my thoughts weren’t coherent enough to come up with something that could get me out of this situation. All I could think of were the
But before I could think any further, a sharp, high-pitched cry pierced the air as a crow appeared out of nowhere and began hovering above my head.Cedric frowned, grunting in frustration.He reached out to hold my arm, his fingers inches away from my skin. His voice was eerily calm and disturbingly
Oh, boy!Cedric puckered his face, and it seemed he was just about to break into sobs, but he held himself together.My racing heart finally relaxed as I let out a subtle sigh of relief. This worked. Thank goodness!“There. There,” Lana said sympathetically as she stood beside me.I looked at Lana a
[Raven]This was the first time Ezra had been this vulnerable with us, and now everything felt painfully awkward.Honestly, I preferred it when Ezra would just lose his mind and burn down the world. The nauseating, smoky stench of boiling blood and burning flesh was far more tolerable than the suffo
Like now. He should have been with Ezra. They somehow bond better, but no — Mr. I-am-always-busy-because-I-am-the-true-alpha had yet another oh-so-important meeting to attend.What could possibly be more important than Ezra right now?He left his oh-so-dear Xanthea all alone as well, and then I had
“What about her?”“I want you to give the were-cat a chance. I know she’s dangerous, but Xanthea wants her as her healing partner.”I let out a sigh. “How much did that omega pay you to threaten me to do this?”“I’m not threatening you. It’s a request. Give weak people a chance. They can—”“Ok! Ok!
“Think whatever you want! She wanted the knowledge, and I needed her knowledge. Fair bargain. Also, don’t compare my decision with yours. I didn’t put her life at risk.”“Really? You say that as if you don’t know how dangerous Helxton’s exams are.”“Yeah, and Luna candidates can easily make them dea
‘Damage level?’ Icifer asked.‘Low,’ I said.Icifer allowed the mouse prince to pass through, who was shortly followed by Nikolai, who tried to sneak behind him, thinking it would be safe to get near my shadows now that two high rank celestials had entered.But only the two made it through.The mort
The relentless frequency of those attempts reflected his desperation. And the fact that he was here today himself could only mean one thing — he was here to rescue his granddaughter from demon lords, by any means necessary.I had a feeling he’d risk war for it if necessary, but no one understood the
[Asher]Crepuscular rays of the sun split through the sky like blades of light as dawn bled across the horizon.A pillar of light, streaked with golden scintillation, crashed down from the heavens near the mouse prince — bridging the Celestial realm to the Earthly realm. And one by one, higher celes
“Since you haven’t taken us back to the Infernal realm already, it means…” she hesitated.“I want you to meet them,” I said.“Why?” I felt her fingers tremble. “Is it because of… my… m-mother?”She might have gotten out of her guilt, but that didn’t change a thing about her feelings towards her moth
I knew. That was exactly why I wanted to suppress him. But arguing would be pointless.Icifer wouldn’t back down, and if I pushed too hard, he might not let Xanthea meet the celestials at all.I shut my eyes.I’ll just have to deal with it.But before that…My hands glided up Xanthea’s thighs. My sh
He chuckled, glaring at the barrier with a sneer.“Here, he’s just another demon. And demons don’t stand a chance against celestials. You and your people can easily slay him and bring the great demon lord to his knees — to his fucking doom,” Nikolai said.I tilted my head.The arrogant superiority t
[Asher]“The crown prince is here!”A celestial guard’s voice rang across the Virgo army, silencing the murmurs as a masked figure strode forward.The emblem of the Solvaris pack was engraved into his golden chest armor, adorned with the complete nine stars of the Swan constellation. The celestials
‘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
