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
[Asher]Deception was one of the most fundamental strategies of warfare. In fact, deception was warfare where one used camouflage, misled the enemy, and manipulated the situation to bend the victory on their side with the least potential conflict.A part of deception was feigning weakness to make th
So… the celestials know about the curse and the throne madness.The throne madness, huh?Right. That was the very reason the curse was created in the first place.I looked at Asher and all the instances of Alpha Deimos, the demon lords’ father, suffering from the madness flashed before my eyes.Moth
The prince took a quick gulp before reading the letter addressed to my grandfather.“~Father. A lot happened after I fell from grace. I’ve missed you, mother and my siblings dearly over all these years. I want to tell you so many things, but perhaps it’s better if I don’t. Yet, there’s a part of my
Nikolai read the letter further where mother revealed her real identity to Alpha Valdimir and she assured him that the celestials would help him protect his pack.She specifically asked him to burn down her books and diaries before interacting with the celestials. Doing so would break the seal on th
[Xanthea]“These letters are enchanted and only the ones they are addressed to can unseal or open them,” the prince said.He paused.“They’ve been kept in Alpha Valdimir’s care since your mother’s death. All of them have been opened by their addressees… except yours.”“Alpha Valdimir gave me everyth
But Asher—Every inch of him was covered in them. Dense. Spreading. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been wounded critically.How is this even possible?What the hell has he been through to end up like this?No… who did this to him?For a second, I thought it was the holy rain. Or maybe
“What’s there to understand about a grown-ass man who can’t even control his emotions? He looks like he’s a high rank celestial. Still, he lacks basic manners, etiquettes, even the rationality to fathom the consequences of his actions? He attacked the Alpha of the Infernal Pack. Do you think the Pri
[Xanthea]A sharp pulse of pain zapped through my head, every nerve and blood vessel screaming in agony. My muscles spasmed, my bones felt as if they were melting as the life force was yanked from my body and poured into my tongue — fueling the spell with raw energy.My vision blurred for a moment,
Mother had performed the spells and drawn the magic circles and symbols so many times that they became an instinct ingrained in her. And that instinct was passed down to me.I bit the tip of my finger. Ignoring Asher’s protests, I drew the recovery symbol, a symbol that accelerated healing, on his c
But I stayed calm, drawing in a deep breath while all my mother’s knowledge, experience and abilities manifested in their full force within me.I had naturally inherited 5% of my mother’s basic healer skills, which included things like instant diagnostic sight, blood analysis and manipulation, mana
