âScrew off! Just get rid of that boy before Ezra shows up.â 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
âNothing I did was impulsive. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, but I couldnât just unsee the obvious and ignore their cries. I know my actions have put everything at risk and itâs not just my life, but I am willing to take them, anyway.ââWhy?â 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.âOnce they are born, will my kids have the right to live? Will they live? Or will they suffer?â Her words shuddered out of her lips.Her eyes skimmed from Raven to me.So t
Ezra clenched his jaws while his expression flickered â 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.âI canâtâŠâ His voice cracked, unguarded. âPlease, d
Ezra staggered backward. His gaze flickered toward her one last time before we lost him.The next few minutes felt to have slowed and stretched into hours.With every shuffle of feet and the soldierâs attempt to minimize damage, chaos rose like doom.I glanced towards the door, opening it up. Nesryn
[Xanthea]âMay you find my guilt at the right time and may it save you from your own. May you find answers to all your questions in my memories and I hope you hate me a little less.âA womanâs voice echoed in the back of my mind, weaving through the symphony of shattering glass when my eyes locked w
Even so, I could neither wake up nor save myself. I had been buried in a grave of my motherâs memories in the middle of nowhere. Some of them were so horrifying, for a second I thought I was losing my mind.I couldnât breathe. I couldnât understand. I was suffocating, but I knew that even death woul
I shook my head, tears streaming down my eyes incessantly.I wanted to deny it all, forget it all, but even a fleeting glimpse was enough to carve it into my memory forever. The horrors I had already witnessed sent shivers through my body, and just the thought of what more might lie ahead filled me
âThe only one who gets to decide who her family is, is Xanthea herself. However, if she dares to choose anyone other than us, thatâs going to be a different story.ââThe celestials are helping Nikolai because he has something that confirmed Xantheaâs identity as Cadenceâs daughter to them. They donâ
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.Xantheaâs 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.âI feel, Asher.âLetting go of his wrists, I sat on his waist, lowering my head so that my hair hid my face from him.âWhat do you feel?â he asked in a soft, calm tone, the word âfeelâ drifting from his lips like a caress.âAngry. So. So. So fucking angry.â 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 didnât 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. AliveâThatâs when it hit me, numbing my rage and fear, leaving me empty. My body went limp as the realization sunk deeper.If my heart didnât sla
âLet me go!â my words came out as a command. âRight now.âHe lowered his gaze to where our crotches still pressed together and smirked.âYou canât come all over my pants and expect me to let you go,â he said, cocking his brow. âThatâs not how it works. Youâll have to take responsibility for what you
[Xanthea]Before I could comprehend Asherâs 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, âY-yesâŠââThen I promise you, your villain will fuck you better than any hero ever did. Fuck love stories. Who wants to hear fake âI love yousâ when âI hate yousâ are so much more sincere and passionate? Right, wife?âHe glared at me, withdrawin
