[Xanthea]‘We’ll make it…’Words stabbed out of Ezra’s dry throat.‘We’ll make it…’His legs buckled under the unbearable weight of exhaustion and starvation, but he gritted his teeth, refusing to fall.‘We’re almost there…’His every step was a cruel punishment, as he pushed through the pain, punis
I shook my head, biting down my lips.“Don’t do this to yourself, Ezra… please… stop… just stop now…” I choked on my words.Asher took a deep breath and spoke in a shaking voice.“Ezra kept carrying her dead body for days... until her body started to decompose and rot on his shoulders.”Tears blurre
‘The physical form will fall apart!’‘We cannot let that happen! Ezra has finally become someone worthy of being my son! Starsoul, save him,’ Deimos ordered my mother, but she wasn’t listening.Her eyes were fixed on Ezra. She was sweating and trembling as though some voice in her head haunted her,
[Xanthea]All the information about the generational curses in my mother’s knowledge and memories flooded my mind.My eyes leafed through the pages of the books and diaries.“Generational curses feed on the existence of the affected immortal. The stronger the immortal it consumes, the more malignant
“You know all the right answers, still you choose the one that’s convenient for you,” he said with a chuckle.My nails dug into my palm, biting into my skin as I tightened my fists.“Unfortunately, I can’t choose what’s convenient for me, love. And I can’t let you, my wife, choose what’s less painfu
“Our kids are the backups to stop the curse. Even if it doesn’t end with us, it’ll end with them,” he said matter-of-factly, his tone devoid of the gravity his words carried.“But that still doesn’t solve anything,” I said.“I know,” he said. “The kids will be weak. While they wouldn’t feed the curs
[Xanthea]A shroud of darkness enveloped me as his wings wrapped around us in an embrace that had never felt so hollow and full at the same time.My entire existence had abruptly been reduced to a body.My body felt alien. A hollow shell that carried my mother’s sins in every fiber. I wanted to rip
Electric sparks ignited beneath my skin at his touch, as though my body were the black, blank night sky and he was the moon, the stars, the clouds and everything cosmic.When his lips finally met mine, a weak smile quivered on my face as tears traced warm paths down my cheeks, every inch of my body
“Dragons, especially dead dragons, don’t make mistakes, Raven,” Asher said firmly, holding my gaze. “There is no greater healer than a dragon, and they chose you. They responded to the purity of your heart and blessed you. So that night, when you felt nothing but helpless, you unknowingly came up wi
[Raven]Asher peered at me, his gaze lingering longer than usual, before turning toward the distant walls with a heavy sigh.“I can’t believe you are saying this,” Asher said.I lowered my eyes.“Me too,” I admitted, my voice quiet. “I can’t believe I want those people near Ezra again, but… my knowl
It took him a few minutes to fully return to reality. He squinted his eyes, his hand pressing to his forehead as if trying to orient himself.“Raven?” He mumbled.I stared at him, panting. Licking the dryness from my lips, I forced myself to calm down, trying to hide the frenzied worry that had cons
A dense forest now sprawled across the grounds where the FA facility once stood. Beyond the woods loomed the accursed walls, cloaked in vines and creeping vegetation, still as tall and foreboding as ever.My blood boiled with uncontainable rage every time I saw this place. Why Asher hadn’t torn down
[Raven]“The sutures are stable, Alpha, but… Alpha Ezra’s wounds aren’t healing.”“No potion, in any dose, is effective.”“It’s almost as though something is blocking his recovery.”I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to pacify the throbbing headache as I went through the scrolls of medical not
“Asher…” I whimpered, unsure if I wanted him to stop his steps or words.“I am used to being invisible to everyone around me, but not you. Please, not you,” he begged, his voice raw as he fought to keep his composure.I shut my eyes, covering my face with my hands, hoping to gather myself, but I end
The distance between us was nothing, yet I kept my head low. Not because his aura had turned heavier, nor because I could feel his gaze searing into my soul, but because I was terrified. Terrified that this time, when I looked into his eyes, I would see the love I had only dreamt of.After a long mo
