[Xanthea]“I’m sorry,” Ezra said, caressing my fingers as he applied an ointment that lowered the redness in my fingers around the ring almost instantly. “You are hurt because of me.”‘... Good luck protecting her. I hope you’re not too late this time.’Ever since Raven said those words, Ezra had be
He took a quick gulp and nodded.“When I entered the council, I was expecting to be played with, humiliated or even punished, but instead… you honored me… you empowered me.” My voice cracked. “I am not afraid, Alpha. I’m grateful. And after everything you’ve done for me, I couldn’t let you down.”Ez
[Xanthea]The surprise on Ezra’s face turned into a mischievous smirk. He leaned back sprawling on the couch as he surrendered to my control.My heart hammered against my ribs as I leaned and kissed his Adam’s apple.With trembling fingers, I unbuttoned his shirt, sliding it off his ripped chest. I
“Fuck…” he growled in a drawl. “Your pussy feels… so fucking… sinful, angel.”He pounded harder and harder, our skins colliding in a brutal pleasure with such urgency that I grabbed on the couch, his hand, anything I could hold to brace myself.My broken moans merged with his throaty groans as he pu
[Asher]I stripped off my blood-soaked coat and shirt, letting them drop to the floor. My footsteps echoed against the dead crystal walls, which shimmered back to life as I stepped into the throne room.At the other end of the room, right across the entrance, loomed the heart of the Prime Infernal P
I nodded. “Ok. Any leads on Xanthea’s mother?”“Umm. I’m trying my best—”“So no lead so far.”“I just need… more time. That woman is nowhere. Like she never existed before becoming Freya Plath—”“Nesryn, close all files on Xanthea’s mother. Even the investigations that Ezra and Raven requested. Sto
“I don’t think celestials will attack us upfront. I have a feeling that they are going to use mortals to do their dirty work,” Draknor said.“Mortals?” Nesryn asked.“Yup. I just got the reports, Alpha. Today, celestials have officially joined hands with mortals,” Draknor said and I glanced at him o
Because, along with its powers, the Obsidian Throne also brought madness to its bearer — a madness that plagued my father, my grandfather, and all the Alphas who came before them.The throne feeds on the soul of its bearer and creates in them a desperate hunger for more power. All Alphas who ever sa
“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
