LUCY. If training was hard, pretending training was hard was harder. Laira mixed me with five other females who had just recently shifted in the last four months, and most of them were still awkward with the training task. And since I had 'no' experience at all with training, I had to be more awkward than them. Pretending to pant after running some laps was hard because I wasn’t even sweating while the other females were already red in their faces. But I survived. Whining in training was never my forte, but somehow I learned how to do it today - great job to the females who would rather ask me how Alpha Stone rolls in the bed rather than run the laps. And because I was a nice little Omega, I just smiled and fluttered my lashes at them, pretending I was too shy to share my bed escapades with the Alpha when in reality I had nothing to share. Partly my fault, because I decided to wash myself first, making the Alpha realize hunger was more important than getting his cock inside me. N
LUCY."Yes, I want to be punished now," I didn’t know why I said that. I knew I’d been anticipating alone time with the Alpha for the whole day, and it left a sour taste in my mouth when he would rather go out and buy things in public than bring me into the privacy of his room.Was he losing interest in me while my lust for him was driving me wild?He chuckled, swiping his tongue over his lips before he bent forward, resting his hands on his knees, his face parallel with mine that his breath fanned over my face. "Aren’t we excited for punishment? What punishment were you expecting, Omega?"I bit my bottom lip. I wanted to tell him all the ways he could punish me, but I restrained myself. "Do you think punishment involves soft beds and soft touches? Roses and kisses?" He curled a finger on my chin, tilting my face up to meet his eyes. "Only good girls get those… And you’re far from the good, perfect Omega you claim to be.""I can take the punishment for bad girls, Alpha…" I told him w
LUCY. "Alpha…" I couldn’t stop moaning over and over. The Alpha knew how to bring pleasure. His fingers and mouth were skillful, and soon, my body started to shake as my orgasm built up. "Alpha… I’m so close…" I closed my eyes, my hands gripping the rings tightly as I bucked my hips, pushing my core into his face. "Do you want to come?" He pulled away from my pussy, making my mouth open as my eyes watered. "Please, Alpha…" A smug smirk formed on his lips as he extended his hard, strong tongue, swiping it slowly over my folds without taking his eyes off me. My lips quivered. He was torturing me. I regretted telling him that I was about to come. I didn’t want him to stop me. "Please… make me come…" "Let it go, baby... Come into my mouth." His voice was so deep and sexy, arousing me more. My whole body shattered the moment his mouth sucked on my folds again as his two fingers fucked my pussy harder and faster. A sultry moan of pleasure escaped my throat as my orgasm rippled t
ADAN STONE. Lucy and I were still lying down on the cold floor. Her head and shoulders were slanted against my chest. My hand was on her stomach, caressing and trailing my fingers on her soft skin while she played with her hair. We stayed silent for a while, but it didn’t seem boring. It felt calm, just exactly what I needed. I knew she was anything but ordinary. Too far from Omegas I spent time with. Others would cover themselves up after we were done with the deed, but Lucy was confidently splayed out naked beside me, not caring in the world that I could see and touch her body. But I liked her that way. "Alpha…" Her sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "...are they not going to look for us? I mean for you?" "Are you throwing me out after you used my body?" I asked her back. A smug smirk crossed my face as I slipped my arms under my head. Lucy giggled softly before she turned her body around and propped an elbow on the cold, wooden floor, and rested her chin on her knuck
ADAN STONE. I had no idea how long I went for a run. By the time I got back to the pack house, the sun was already down, and by the looks of it, dinner had been served. I just nodded my head at my Beta and ignored his question when he asked me if I wanted to eat. I went directly up to my suite, where I was expecting to see her. I still had no idea what to do with her. I didn’t want her to control me and my emotions, but I didn’t want her away from me either. It was just a fucking 24 hours and yet she was giving me inner turmoil. I pushed the door open and my forehead creased when I couldn’t smell her. Her scent was too faint - it only meant she wasn’t around here or she never went back. I stepped inside and double-checked, but I couldn’t find her anywhere inside the suite. The room looked like how we left it this morning since I didn’t allow anyone to clean the room today. Soon, Beast was growling in my head. If I was not bothered by the Omega’s absence, I would be taunting my
LUCY. We stayed hugging each other for a long time. My tears had calmed down and so was the pain inside my heart, but I was scared that if I moved, something would snap inside him and would make him leave again. "Let’s go home." His hand smoothed over my hair before he withdrew his body away from mine. I just nodded my head, biting my bottom lip as I slowly tilted my head to meet his eyes. I knew I shouldn’t. I should have learned by now not to look him in the eyes, but I couldn’t stop myself. A weak smile tugged on the Alpha’s lips before his hand went to cup my cheek, his thumb trailing slowly on my lips, and I knew this was too early, but his action made my pussy throb in an instant. "Do you need to take anything with you?" "Just my backpack. It’s my only property." I pulled my body away from him and turned around to grab my bag because I was sure if I stayed longer to enjoy his touch, he would soon smell my arousal and it just was not appropriate at this moment. But then I
BETA COLLIN.Laira and I, together with the Gamma couple, Kingston and Lena, were sitting on the steps of the packhouse, waiting for our Alpha to come home. We had no idea what had happened between them, and Laira was worried that the Alpha might have blown up his anger with Lucy.I had to remind Laira that no matter how pissed off or irritated Alpha Adan was, he would never lay a hand on a female. But my smart mate reminded me that she was not concerned about the physical abuse but more about the words that would come out of Alpha Adan’s mouth.And I think she was right. Through the years, Adan had changed tremendously. Gone was the calm and peace-loving man I grew up with.He grew more distant and more broody over the years. I guessed it came from the fact that he had no one to channel his energy through. I didn’t believe a man or his wolf could go feral without a mate, but I think Adan was a living example of that.A part of me was hopeful that the Omega was his mate. I knew many w
ADAN. I was in my office waiting for any sign that Laira and Lena were done introducing themselves to her, but it had been too long already. So in the end, when I couldn’t wait anymore, I mindlinked Laira and asked her to bring Lucy to my office. It didn’t take long before a knock came, and I let her in. Lucy stepped in and walked towards the center, her eyes roaming around my office, and I was wondering if she liked it or if she thought the room was boring. I suddenly wished I had more color than black and brown. Lucy stopped in the middle of my office, right in front of my big desk, while I sat on my chair, elbow propped on the armrest with my head resting on my knuckles. "Stop staring, Alpha," she said, biting her inner cheek, which made her look innocent, which I knew she was far from. "Why? Last time I checked, I had the right to look at anyone I wanted to look at." "You’re making me melt…" She said it in an almost inaudible voice, but I heard it. And she caught me off gua

3 MONTHS AFTER PART 1 Epilogue PATREA. “Don’t you fucking dare to cut my skin!” I screamed as another contraction hit my body. I could only count the number of times I swore, but today had been exceptional. I couldn’t stop myself from throwing curses and bad words at my king. I was in labor, and the baby was ready to come out. Lucius was the only one with me since demon childbirth was never a problem. Demons could even give birth on their own. Maybe we were so relaxed that we forgot that I was still part human and witch. “I have to take it out. I’ll cut and heal it back!” Lucius explained in a loud voice. “I don’t fucking like seeing you whimper like that!” “NO! No! No! I want to feel my child coming out of my pussy!” “Patrea!” He hissed, his forehead was sweaty, and I could feel the whole chamber getting too warm. “Get out!! I glared at him. But I didn’t mean it. I was just in too much pain, and his worried expression was not helping at all. “No fucking way that I will l
Five years after.LUCIUS. Patrea was sitting on the low boulder while watching Luther, and I do our training for today. Lucija and Stone would take Luther here in the underworld from time to time so we could spend time with him and let him familiarize himself with the demons.For the longest time, they were taking Luther here and would sometimes leave him with us for a few hours just because they wanted to have time alone.But I knew there was more to it than that. They wanted us to experience having a child.After five years, Patrea and I were still not given any. I was slowly coming to terms with it, but that didn’t mean I was losing hope. I never stopped wishing for a child every time I fucked my queen, but I had stopped telling her I was doing it.Patrea and I never talked about it anymore. I could still feel sadness in her from time to time, but it didn’t make me feel less loved by her, and I was returning the love she was giving me tenfold more.We would always be great kings a
PATREA. Five nights ago, I told Lucius I was ready to take our relationship to the next level. I was ready to have a baby with him. A demon pregnancy could be detected a few hours after mating. But five days later, there was still nothing. I stared blankly at the mirror inside the bathroom that Lucius had custom-made for me. I felt empty. I felt useless. I knew Guinevere wasn’t lying when she reversed the spell I did on my body, and I was sure Lucius could get any female pregnant if he didn’t stop himself from producing one. So it must be me. Maybe my actual human age has something to do with this. I was not getting older in physical form, but perhaps I was past the stage of childbearing. And it hurts. It hurt more now than it did the first time when I thought I could not give him an heir because, this time, I expected it to be possible. Lucius seemed to not mind, but he might just be good at hiding it. Because it was the same thing I was showing him, but deep inside, I was
PATREA. “Follow me.” His voice came out so deep and hoarsely that I didn’t even have second thoughts and just followed him. “Is this the right area?” He asked as he stopped in the archive section at row number 35. “Yes.” “Now, what do we need to do with all these books?” “Place them back. The books are in alphabetical order, so they should be placed in their right spot.” I was not done talking yet when seven books rose in the air and went to their exact place. My eyebrows rose as I stepped back until I was out of the aisle. I checked if anyone was nearby, but then the archive section was at the far end of the entrance, and usually, only scholars or those doing special studies go to this spot, so it was safe to say no one saw that. I walked back and stopped a few feet away from him, watching as he laid the rest of the books on the wooden stool ladder. “You need to put them back as well,” I told him. “We will put the rest aside once we’re done with the reason we came here.” H
PATREA. After my coronation as Queen of two Underworld kingdoms, our lives returned to normal. So far, it had been so peaceful and perfect that I felt something terrible would happen. But Lucius eased my worry by telling me that the underworld was only chaotic if the kingdoms were not on good terms. As far as he knew, everyone was minding their own business, and the regular souls would just come and plunge themselves into hell. So I tried not to mind it and just lived the best days of my life with him. Today we decided to cross into the human realm and visit an old friend, or, should I say, an annoying neighbor. I missed normality, so here we were, driving the car into the house I used to share with Althea. I would take personal items and return the key to the house owner. And after that, we would go to the library so I could file my irrevocable resignation letter. As much as I could forget all about it, I made friends in the library, and I didn’t want them to keep thinking abo
LUCIUS. “Hades…” Luther just said his first word. It was a bit gurgled, but I could fully understand it. ‘The fuck! I spent fucking days teaching him to say ‘dad,’ and I kept bribing him with sweets and fire, just for him to end up saying Hades’ name first?’ Stone cursed in my head. His jaw tightened, and I knew he was stopping himself from growling. ‘Be thankful it’s Hades. You’ll be more pissed off if his first word is Lucius.’ I chuckled. ‘Just accept that your son is more of a demon than a wolf.’ He didn’t say anything, but he knew I was telling the truth. Hades walked toward us and handed Luther to Lucija before he faced Patrea and me. “King Hades, it is an honor to have you at our banquet today,” Patrea stated as she tipped her down before looking at him again. “It would be a disappointment if I missed it. I never had a queen for my kings for many centuries now, so it is rightful that I appeared here.” He replied before he extended his hand to Patrea. “Come here, Que
LUCIUS. My eyes roamed around the vast banquet that was prepared for the formal rise of the King and Queen of Kalmerus and Athwart. I was glad that I didn’t hold a feast for me so that I was able to share this coronation with Patrea. The big hall was already filled with guests from the other two kingdoms of the Underworld: the Kings and their offspring. Some of my siblings and my own spawn had arrived. They had yet to meet Patrea. Celebrations like this were usually done in demon forms, but since Patrea was only half demon, I requested everyone to present themselves in their human form, and it seemed that no one was objecting as everyone came in presentable clothes. Also, from what I heard, even the kings were eager to see my queen, probably because the Underworld had never had a queen in a long time, even centuries before me. A smug smirk tugged on my mouth at the sight of Lucija and Stone. They took Luther with them, and even though he was just a few months old, his aura was st
PATREA. Weeks passed, and I was still reeling from the feeling of being Lucius’ queen and the queen of two kingdoms. Today is one of those days where I had to fulfill a duty for our demons. “Open your palms and let your hand feed on their souls,” Lucius instructed me as we stared at the pit of fire, where I could hear souls full of anguish and pain. I swallowed hard, but I couldn’t raise my hand. I was slowly accepting the ways of the underworld, but my heart was shattering at the cries I could hear at the moment. “In time, your heart will harden. The souls you hear are undeserving of your pity, whether they are judged or not in the realms they belong to. If their souls went straight to the pits of hell, it only means that they were meant to be here. They were irredeemable and had never regretted their actions. We do not throw away souls that were sincerely regretful of their misdeeds before they died. That’s why the veils of realms exist. In there, they were given time to redeem
