Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-92. The Obsidian Throne

[Asher]

I stripped off my blood-soaked coat and shirt, letting them drop to the floor. My footsteps echoed against the dead crystal walls, which shimmered back to life as I stepped into the throne room.

At the other end of the room, right across the entrance, loomed the heart of the Prime Infernal Pack - the Obsidian Throne. A seat coveted by many who thought themselves worthy. Now they all lie beneath it, buried in the towering dais of rattling skulls and bones of their own kind.

As I approached, centuries-old shadows hovering above the throne stirred and began whispering in a lost tongue.

The crimson marble aisle leading to the throne pulsed with life, absorbing the blood that dripped down my body. Red veins in the stone glowed like molten lava surging through cracks, illuminating the path as I walked.

Dark gray statues of demon wolves flanked the crimson aisle, their stone eyes ever-watchful. Beyond them, faceless hooded guardians lurked in the shadows, clutching ancient weapons in their praying hands. I stopped midway, peering at the throne.

"When you told me to veil Xanthea, I didn't understand what you wanted to do..." Nesryn's voice resonated in the room as she stepped in. "But now I do. People fear the unknown, the hidden. You wanted the council to fear her." She stood beside me, contemplating.

"Everyone is curious about her. They aren't asking why a mortal omega was chosen as a Luna candidate; they're asking, who is this woman? She can't just be an omega. There has to be more to her. They are in awe and misery. But it wasn't just the veil, it was 'her.' Seeing her walk was like entering a trance."

Nesryn's voice was charged with excitement and intrigue. Her heart was pounding lightly.

"You didn't ask me to befriend her just to keep her from feeling lonely in this foreign land, did you? Who is Xanthea, Asher?"

Nesryn waited for my answer, and when I didn't reply, she continued.

"Meeting her... wasn't a coincidence, was it? Is she... the one you've been searching for... so long?"

I looked at Nesryn. Her words lingered, filling the silence between us. She was getting closer to the truth, and that could be dangerous. But I didn't bother dismissing her.

Her eyes widened slightly, her mouth agape as though she had finally realized something. Averting her eyes to the throne, she licked her lips.

"So she is the one," Nesryn mumbled. "No wonder."

"She has grown quite fond of you," I said.

"I don't think so," Nesryn smiled faintly. "Sometimes she reminds me of you - a softer version, of course. You see people as pawns in your game of chess, while she views them as emotional resources for survival. The two of you aren't so different, after all."

"Is that so?" I said, drawing in a deep breath.

"The way she used me to get those kids out of Helxton and deal with Cedric at the same time," Nesryn chuckled. "I only figured out her manipulation once we reached the council."

"The children," I said calmly. "How are they doing?"

"Trying everything they can to remain hidden from us," Nesryn said, smiling as she shook her head. "By the way, why did you allow those kids in the castle? Is it because you wanted to help Xanthea help them?" "There's nothing Xanthea can do to help those kids," I said.

"So... why?"

"Because that's what she wanted to do. Like I have said before, we'll try not to interfere with her karma as much as we can."

"Well," Nesryn sighed. "Can't expect a straight answer from you."

"How is the High lady doing?" I asked.

"Much better than before. She was getting bored in the hospital. After some tests, Raven allowed her treatment to continue from the castle. She returned to the castle this morning."
