“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
[Asher]For the time being, Xanthea was safe with Ezra in the Glass palace.As for Raven…“Why are we here?” Raven demanded an answer from Nyssa, closing the space between them, but Nyssa just hugged herself tighter, avoiding his gaze.Nyssa had teleported Raven into the empty, dimly lit student lou
“This is ridiculous…” Raven scoffed, frustration draining into his eyes as he glared at Nyssa.“Deny it all you want, but you care about Asher, perhaps more than you care about Ezra or yourself… because you see him. He has always been your coping mechanism. What can be a better relief to pain, insec
He had spent most of his university days under the dragon skeleton.“It’s been a while.…” Raven whispered weakly to the dragon before shutting his hollow eyes and draping his arm across them.Raven was the butterfly who needed to see his own wings to trigger the metamorphosis of his soul. And accord
I could feel the disturbing possessiveness radiating from her, turning me on for some darkly fucked up reasons.Why?Why now, Xanthea?Why did you say these words now of all time?Why now when you don’t mean them — when I can’t accept them?I tried to break free, to step away, but she held me tighte
She blushed, lowering her gaze shyly as she wiped off her tears, taking deep breaths.“If you had to punish me… you would have isolated me in your dark room, not here, where I am surrounded by your comforting scent every second.”She chuckled, licking tears off her lips as she shook her head.“No. E
My legs grew heavier as I neared the bedroom. The door was slightly ajar; the room buried in darkness and a biting cold silence.Shards cracked beneath my shoes as I entered. Xanthea knelt in the center of the room, her head held low, her figure a shadow against the towering windows that framed the
[Asher]The numbers on the screen of the laptop before my eyes blurred into meaningless shapes. The voice of my cabinet members sitting around the round table faded into a distant noise.I was supposed to focus on the budget plan, the foundation for the pack’s next financial year — a matter of irref
“And… what about… Xanthea?” Nesryn asked cautiously.“What about her?”“The way she went against the demon lords, and then Ezra relapsed… I know her actions won’t go unpunished. But… she was unconscious for three days straight. She woke up only two days ago. Asher, she’s mortal. She can’t survive lo
And Raven knew it better than any of us. The potion wasn’t as effective as Raven had expected. If the healing went on at this speed, it would take Ezra months to regain consciousness.The tension on Raven’s face said that there were several other complications in the treatment that only a healer cou
“Alpha…” a healer called, snapping Raven’s attention back to the reports as he resumed his focused analysis of Ezra’s condition.***“Waaaah!” Cedric, standing beside me, let out the loudest sigh. “I literally thought Ez bro was gonna die. That’s a relief.”Nesryn, standing on my other side, squinte
[Asher]Raven finally accepted his dragon blessing.He might act all strong and unbreakable, but I always saw right through him. Even now, when I look at him, I see a shattered boy trying to build walls so high that no one, not even his own pain, could reach him again.Our father had scarred him in
“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
