Here's the second one for today. I might take a day off tomorrow, but if I'm able to finish at least one chapter, I will update. Thank you for waiting, lovelies! And thank you for all the comments and gems as well! Have a great weekend! ♡
LUCY. "Are you even a fucking shifter?" My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest at Alpha Stone’s question while he surged forward as if he would attack me. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. His face was deadly, and his eyes were dilating, indicating Beast’s desire to emerge as well. Was he mad too? I seriously had no idea what I had done wrong. Did they find out I have demon blood? Shit! I shouldn’t have let him cut my palm. I tried to explain and reason it out, but it felt like the Alpha was not listening at all. His lips were attacking my neck, kissing and nibbling on my soft spot. And despite the danger I felt from my identity being revealed, I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips the moment his fangs grazed against the skin of my neck. "I want you, Lucy…" His voice came out needy and it made me melt in an instant. He had no idea how much I wanted him. I bit my bottom lip, arching my hips up and letting my front rub against his erection. I was
LUCY. I was expecting the Alpha would call for my attention, but he didn’t. I walked home toward the packhouse with him trailing behind me. The house was deserted when we came in, and I was grateful for that because I didn’t know how to face Laira and Lena. I wanted to ask Alpha Stone where I would be staying for the night, but I didn’t want to start any conversation with him at the moment. So I just walked ahead up the stairs. I saw him switch off the main lights and turn on the dimmed lamps all over the ground floor before he followed me up the stairs. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he walked past me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the shower, and I just slumped my body down on the single sofa. More than my body, my mind was tired from everything that happened in the last twenty-four hours. And I was hoping to have a good night’s sleep, but it still depends on the Alpha. After what felt like an eternity, the bathroom door opened and Alpha Stone stepped out, f
LUCY. Two days turned into four, and then into six. By then, I was already in misery. I have never felt so unproductive and useless as I felt at the moment. Although my body was functioning, my heart and my brain weren’t. I miss Alpha Stone. And even if the Beta and Gamma Females told me that Alpha Stone could handle himself well in times of danger, I couldn’t help but worry for him and hated myself for ignoring him before he left. If this was how it felt to be away from him for just a few days, what more if he asked me to leave for good? I had no idea how many times I asked Laira if she had gotten any messages from her Beta, but she always had the same answer, nothing yet. And although I could see the longing in her eyes, she was handling herself well. Maybe she was already used to this. I spent my days training to increase my stamina. Lena was giving me a personal workout plan, and I didn’t need to hide my own strength this time after Laira told me I was bluffing about being
ADAN STONE.The last six days went draggingly slow, and although I was able to keep myself busy and focused during the day, the nights left me restless and unable to sleep. I missed my stubborn Omega.I wish I hadn’t left without saying goodbye. I knew she was awake while I was trying to touch her, and because she was ignoring me, I thought I would teach her a lesson. In the end, I was the one with a lesson learned - I liked her, and it looked like I would be the one giving in to her whims.But I didn’t fucking care at the moment. I wanted to see her.So when we finally rounded up the whole area and made sure there were no more illegal settlers and that all the ruined buildings where they were camping were totally demolished, we finally prepared ourselves to travel home. And the men with me mirrored the excitement I felt. But unlike them, I tried to mask my real emotions. That was the reason I remained seated in my car even after I put it to a complete halt. I wanted to look at her,
ADAN STONE. My hand coiled around my erection as I slowly jerked my cock, watching as she seduced me with her dance. Lucy continued dancing, but she was moving forward to where I was seated, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her, but I waited. She dropped to her knees and placed her hands on my inner thighs, parting them wider as she looked me in the eyes. "Tell me, Alpha. In the six nights that you were gone, were the females you spent time with able to satisfy you as I do?" Bold and brave. A smug smirk crept onto my lips as I leaned my face close to her, cupping her cheek before pushing my thumb into her mouth. She began sucking it hard and loudly, making my cock too fucking hard already. "Tell me, Omega. Do you think after I tasted your sweet pussy, my mouth would want to taste another?" Her arousal swirled around me as a seductive smile curled on her lips. She pulled away from my thumb and, without a warning, dipped her face in between my thighs. Her wet and warm mout
LUCY. My heart began thudding loudly as I listened to Alpha Stone discuss sending trackers to find my family’s background. I closed my eyes and tried to even out my breathing before I answered him. "You really want me in your pack, Alpha Stone?" "Hmmm…" Of course, he would not admit it. "I already gave you my real name. Everly and Diego Foster are my parents. Diego is my stepfather, and he’s the only father I know." "Your mother never discussed anything about your real father?" "No." "So you’re not sure if you’re half-human or not?" He kept asking. "No." "You must be a fucking bunny!" His hand on my arm was now on my ass, squeezing it so hard before he slapped it that I couldn’t help but giggle. He then rolled over and hovered over my body. "But this little bunny under me can’t keep up with me. Shame." "You’re a beast!" I playfully sneered at him, my eyes beaming as my gaze took in his handsome features. "That I am…" His head dipped at the nook of my neck as he began nibbli
ADAN STONE. Lucy was still asleep even after breakfast. Maybe I worked her really hard overnight, but I couldn’t stop myself. Six days without her felt like fucking years. But as much as I wanted to just cuddle with her today, I let her sleep and continued with my day as usual. I was on the other side of the territory, checking the trees being cut by big tractors that would supply the woods for this part of my territory. I actually had no business here. I had men who managed the wood-cutting section to make sure the whole territory had enough for the whole winter, but I never slacked off when it came to my pack. I checked everything I could with my own eyes and let them know that I expected the utmost service for every task assigned to them. So far, there have been no problems here. This part of the territory had abundant trees, unlike the rest, where I had to make sure we continued to plant and cultivate young ones so the future generation would have something left for them. 'A
LUCY. My eyes snapped open at the same time my stomach growled as if something would come out of it. I shoved the blanket off my body as I glanced at the clock - it would be lunchtime soon, and I was still in bed. The Alpha did really let me rest, which was very thoughtful of him. I sniffed myself - I reeked of the Alpha and all the fluids that were mixed in and out of me, but I was not repulsed by them. But of course, I needed to wash it off me. With hurried movement, I rushed to the bathroom only to stop in my tracks when I caught sight of the bathtub. Someone had prepared a bubble bath, but the cold water and the almost-gone bubbles were a sign that it had been left standing for quite a while now. The Alpha might have done this, and I was sure they were for me because he told me he seldom used the bathtub. But because he had an unpredictable mood, he stormed off before we could enjoy this. I rinsed off my body from the cold shower and jumped into the almost-gone bubble bath wi

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
