LUCY.

I stayed under the shower for a long time after my weapons training with Alpha Audrius. My hands and arms were tired, but I was happy because I was faster than I was yesterday. And if I continued practicing, I was sure I would be as fast as I was when I was still being mentored by Gargon in the underworld.

I just wish I was allowed to use fire so I could master it as well. But what choice do I have? I had no idea how long I should be hiding from my father. I was tired of being scared of him. I just want to have a normal life where I could enjoy my days with Adan and not have to fear that he would just appear out of nowhere and drag me back to his world.

I let out a sigh before I turned off the shower and proceeded to dry myself.

I wondered where Adan was. He should be home around this time and hopping in the shower with me, but I haven’t seen him since lunchtime, and it’s almost dinner time now.

I had just finished putting on clothes when a knock on the main door was heard.

    LUCY.Althea and Blade had already left the dining area and gone to the seating room, leaving me and Adan at the table. The Omegas were back inside the packhouse and had begun clearing up the dining table."I’ll take Althea to a guest room," I told Adan as I stood up from my seat. Adan pushed his chair back and stood up as well, and in just a few seconds, his arms were around me as he pulled me closer to him. "Wait for Lena. She’s coming with you.""You don’t trust I can be a good host?" I asked, but I already knew why he wanted Lena with me.His hand tucked the stray hairs behind my ear before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. "I don’t trust anyone when it comes to you, Lucy.""But we need to trust Althea if we want her help.""I know. But just let me be cautious. I never had supernaturals, aside from shifters, around me, and it is making me uneasy that you can just slip away or be taken away without me knowing."I nodded my head as I hooked my arms around his neck, and a sm

    ADAN STONE. I tossed the envelope with cash on my desk without taking my eyes off Blade. He was just looking at it but didn’t pick it up yet. "You’re free to go. I will just call on you if I need anything more." "How about Althea?" "What about her?" "Who will take her back to the red mountain?" He asked, as his jaw tightened. "Part of the deal was to shelter her within this territory. I want to keep that if she helps Lucy." "She wants to go back to the mountains. Once you’re done with her, call me. I will take her back there." "Do you like her?" "It’s none of your business. I’m here just for the task you assigned me." He sneered, swiping the envelope from the desk before slipping it into his back pocket. "Then your job here is done. It’s not your responsibility anymore to take her back to the mountains if she wants to." "You’re not letting her out of this territory without me!" He growled. "Who are you? Her mate?" I chuckled. I was sure now that there was something going on

    LUCIEN.Prince of Darkness, ruler of Kalmerus, one of the four Underworld regions. "How long are you going to stand there and watch that fiber, father?" For the nth time today, Lucius asked as he slumped his body on my throne, making me hiss before I motioned for him to get off my seat. He laughed as he stood up before walking to where I stood, staring at the fiber in front of us. It used to hold the locations of my sons who were often traveling back and forth to different realms at my disposal, but now I had allotted 50% of it just to track Lucija. But my only daughter was smart enough not to use her fire — the only way I would be able to pinpoint her exact location. Almost a fortnight ago, something glowed on the fiber, but before I could see where it was, it was already gone. She accidentally summoned fire, I assumed, and she’s been controlling herself so as not to use it again. "So nothing new yet?" Lucius asked again. "If there is, you and I will not be here," I answered in

    ALTHEA. Lucy, Lena, and Laira left my room thirty minutes ago, but I was still stuck doing the same thing. I was pacing back and forth in front of my bed, still contemplating what to do next. I knew I should have been thinking about how to start dealing with Lucy’s request to put a shield over the territory of the Mystic Pack, but Blade had been occupying my mind. He told me he would be leaving as soon as he brought me here, but why did he stay? I didn’t want to give him any false hope that I would allow him to claim me because that would never happen. We had no chance of being together. I don’t like him. Yeah, I don’t like him. And I needed to remind him again. I let out a deep sigh before opening my bedroom door and transferring toward his. I was about to knock on his door when it opened and Blade’s huge form came into view. He was leaning his forearm on the door frame, his face void of any emotions as he looked at me as if he was expecting me there already. Of course, this ma

    LUCY. "Are we still pretending, Lucy?" Adan asked in a voice void of any emotion. He was giving me the same face that drew me to him — stoic, unreadable, mysterious, and challenging. But would I take the risk and tell him everything? What if he wanted no commitment at all? My heart thudded loudly as I made up my mind. I was never a coward. "I’m not sure what you mean by pretending. The only thing I pretended to be was the meek and weak Omega you saw from time to time. Other than that, all of these are real." A smile slowly tugged on his plump lips, and I swear, if this conversation were not important, I would be kissing him already. "So you like me?" He asked, his brows hiking up. "Why do you think I’m still here? I told myself, that whatever happened after the Omega Feast, I would go. I have wings, I can just fly away. But then…" A wicked smile crawled on my lips as my finger trailed across his chest. "...you happened. And I can’t resist you." I felt something poke at my cor

    LUCY. I walked down the stairs straight to Adan’s office. I overslept again, but I was hoping I didn’t miss breakfast yet. I was about to knock, but the door opened to his office, and behind it was my handsome Alpha, who was already smiling at me, making my panties drop and my morning brighter. "Good morning, Alpha Stone," I greeted him, smiling widely as I swayed my body until I got hold of myself. "Good morning, Luna Lucy," he greeted back, making my jaw drop open before I tilted my head around to see if anybody was around us. "Don’t say that, someone might hear." I felt my cheeks burning. He chuckled before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. "I thought you had accepted me already?" My hand clasped over his on my cheek as I scooted my body closer to him. "I do, but I’m not sure if your people will accept an Omega as a Luna." "She can be a demon too, and I will still want her as my Luna, and I’m sure my people will stand by my decision." I smiled at him before snaking

    LUCY. Althea opened her bedroom and let me in. I placed the tray of food on the round table at the far end before I faced her. "Did you rest?" My eyes scanned her room, and her bed was cluttered with big, old-looking books. She shook her head and pointed to the books on her bed. "I want to make sure I’ll be doing the right thing." "But I thought you needed to rest." "This is rest for me - one with my books and channeling the spirits." She giggled softly while I bit my bottom lip as I nodded my head. "Are you sure about the additional request? And the Alpha still doesn’t know?" She asked. "I’m sure. And yes, he doesn’t know anything." "He might kill me." "He won’t. I will protect you from him." "Are you sure you will defy him if he asks you not to shield me?" "That won’t be the first time I will defy him. But I know you can protect yourself. But I want you to be honest with me, Althea. Am I putting you in danger with my request?" "If you had no plan to unbind yourself, the

    GAMMA KINGSTON. I knew something was off when the witch raised an invisible barrier that prohibited us from entering the ruin where she was performing her rituals. And I couldn’t even mindlink my Alpha, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe I was just not familiar with witches and their spells. If my Alpha trusted her, then I should too. But the moment Alpha Stone flinched from his position and anger flashed in his eyes, I knew something went wrong. The Alpha didn’t like what was going on. I began to slam my body against the shield, and soon Blade and the other warriors with us were doing the same thing. We all looked like fucking lunatics trying to crush an invisible wall we couldn’t even see. But nothing we did could shatter it. It was too strong, and even if we all slammed our bodies on it at the same time, it didn’t break. "Put the fucking shield down!" Blade was roaring, shaking the ground as he kept pounding his fists against the barrier while his eyes were fixated on the witch, wh

    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
