“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
‘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
