“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
“Okay.” Ezra nodded, oblivious to the storm that had started to pick up the pace. “Get ready; I’ll take you to the castle—”“NO!” she yelled.Ezra raised his brows, puzzled.Xanthea chuckled, “actually… I asked Mavka, m-my maid, to pick me up. She’ll be here any moment.”“It’ll be safer if I take yo
[Raven]‘Ezra… please stop! Please get a hold of yourself, brother! Help! Someone!’I had never felt as helpless as I did that night. Ezra’s consciousness was possessed by a berserk power that burst out of him, blindly obliterating everything and everyone that came in his path.As the sole survivor
‘… your future no longer looks as bright as your smile, brother. Good luck protecting her. I hope you’re not too late this time.’I shut my eyes, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.Even after knowing everything he went through… how could I say such horrible things to him?Because of
[Raven]“So, this is what you were trying to hide behind your ugly veil?” I strutted closer to her.“I thought you had better things to do than to peep behind veils that aren’t yours. After all, you have better people to be with, for example, your Luna candidate. What brings you to an omega’s abode?
“Safe? Where in this burning hell will you find somewhere safe for weak blood?” I growled, glaring at her over my shoulder. “What do you even know about this place? It’s history, it’s horrors! You have only spent a few weeks here under the constant protection of the demon lords, and you think you kn
She banged on the door in frustration and defeated rage.She darted a panicked look around, scanning for any exit, but there was none. Her breaths shivered as her fingers clenched into fists as they trailed down the door before she turned around to face me.Her eyes widened when she looked into my e
‘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
