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
[Raven]“Where have you been all this time? I thought you left,” I addressed Nyssa, walking towards the entrance of the council hall with Asher.Asher entered the hall while I stayed back with Nyssa.She glared at me. “What kind of boyfriend are you? Your girlfriend was missing for over an hour and
The door creaked open, drawing my attention away from the elder.Ezra entered the hall, all eyes turning in his direction.I thought he would come with Xanthea. Stupid, he should have talked to her before the meeting.Not my problem if he makes a fool of himself. I warned him already.As he neared t
[Raven]Xanthea’s eyelids fluttered to Ezra as he stood before her, her breaths shallow, and when he leaned closer to her, she wasn’t breathing altogether.Ezra held her gaze, his eyes dropping to her parted lips behind the veil as he took in her features like a drug. With a swift gulp, he looked aw
“Alpha?” Xanthea took in a sharp, broken gasp, involuntarily stepping back, shock clear through her veil.Ezra’s gaze softened as he smiled at her and then lowered his head as though in deep thoughts.Hesitating initially, he reached his hands towards his collars and pulled out the ring pendant he h
[Raven]“Luna candidate Xanthea,” Isagi’s voice reverberated through the hall. “With this contract, you begin a perilous journey no mortal has ever taken. I commend your courage and wish you all the very best for the challenges that lie ahead.”The special jury exchanged hushed whispers, their voice
‘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
