[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
‘Screw off! Just get rid of that boy before Ezra shows up.’ He entered the bathroom, shutting the door behind him with his tail..I think we were already too late for that because Ezra had already shown up. He had arrived in the Aile castle minutes after Xanthea did, but he had been monitoring her t
“Nothing I did was impulsive. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, but I couldn’t just unsee the obvious and ignore their cries. I know my actions have put everything at risk and it’s not just my life, but I am willing to take them, anyway.”“Why?” I asked.She bit her lower lip, pausing f
[Asher]Taken aback by her unexpected question, Raven froze in his place, his grip loosening on her.Ezra opened his eyes wide.“Once they are born, will my kids have the right to live? Will they live? Or will they suffer?” Her words shuddered out of her lips.Her eyes skimmed from Raven to me.So t
Ezra clenched his jaws while his expression flickered — anguish broke through the hardened lines of his face. His eyes, pained and bleary, betrayed all his senses.Unable to summon words or reason, Ezra stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.“I can’t…” His voice cracked, unguarded. “Please, d
‘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
