ADAN STONE."Alpha Fabian, I'm glad to see you again." I greeted the Alpha of the Silver Crest the moment I stepped out of the car in front of his packhouse.He took and shook my hand as he responded. "Pleasure is mine, Alpha Stone. I thought Blade would come with you.""Is he not here?" I asked, my brows furrowing."No. It’s been over a year since the last time he showed up here. So when I heard he was in your territory weeks ago, I was hoping he would come and check on me.""I have no idea where he is at the moment." It was the truth. The trackers I sent to contact Althea reached Collin with the news that Althea was at the Fortuna Coven but Blade was not."Typical Blade. I would be the last one on his priority list." He let out a sigh before he flashed a smile, something that didn’t reach his eyes. "Anyway, enough about my brother. My Beta will show you the area you can use. It’s in the middle of the forest, away from the residential area, and usually not visited by my people. So it’
ADAN STONE. My head throbbed as I stared at the ceiling, and it took a moment before I remembered where I was. I closed my eyes and thought about Lucy, wanting to know if I could remember her from my own memories. Tears trickled down my face as everything came rushing in from the moment I first saw her until the moment I was whipped and she ordered Patrea to take my memory away. Those were my memories, not Beast. And I could feel every emotion she stirred in me from day one until the day I marked her. You will never know the importance of memories until they are taken away from you. I couldn't believe I almost lost all of these. ‘I love you, Adan. I need you to trust me. I promise I will come back for you.’ Those were her last words before I marked her and before I lost consciousness. She still wanted me. She just didn't want me there. But Lucius was right — there's no way Lucy could do this alone. I forced my body up from the bed and slipped on my running shoes before I walked
LUCY. "Everyone out!" I kept flicking my fingers and hurrying Gargon and the two demons to move and go away from the fire tower "But we’re not done for today." Gargon’s forehead creased as he looked at me. "I didn’t ask for your opinion." "If you want to learn more, you can’t just cancel anytime…" "Question my decisions one more time, and you will lose your ability to speak. Now get off here and bring your minions with you. Out!" I hissed before I set every goal around us on fire. It didn’t escape my ears the way Gargon hissed, but he didn’t say more and instead motioned for the demons to follow him as he made his way out. ‘You can come up now. You better transport your body here, or you will meet Gargon by the stairs. They just headed out.’ I was not even finished with my words to Lucius when he appeared inside the tower, and he immediately locked the door, pushing the big block of wood barricading the entrance. I snickered before shaking my head. "As if the lock would sto
LUCY. My mind and body were already tired, but I kept going. Lucius brought me to a place I had never been before. It looked like a cave, but it wasn’t - it was just endless darkness, and the only source of light was the torches he placed in every corner surrounding us. I’d been trying to shift into my succubus form, and it kept getting harder because Angel was fighting it. Every time I shifted into one, she was out of my head, and she wasn’t liking that. And with our location away from the tower, she was able to use her own strength against mine. My wolf wanted to trust Lucius, but she didn’t want me to make the wrong decision. She didn’t want me away from her. But I wanted to take the risk. I wanted to see Adan, even in his dreams, or what they called 'nightmares.' "But without my wolf with me and just a demon soul, would I still go into heat?" I asked Lucius after finding out I would not be able to take Angel with me in my succubus form. "You shouldn’t even be thinking about
ADAN STONE. I barely slept last night, but it was way past midnight when we all went to bed. I was sharing a room with Kingston, and we spent the whole time just talking and discussing things that he was supposed to do if I were successful in entering the demon realm. I knew selling my soul to Lucius would be the easiest way in — a big risk to take if he died but I needed more than the assurance that I would be able to come out alive. I wanted a guarantee that I could leave the realm anytime I wanted with Lucija beside me. Both of us - alive. The best option was Hades. With Lucija being a demon princess and me being mated to her, I had a high chance that Hades would come if I summoned him, according to Patrea. I didn’t know such things existed for supernatural beings, because I had no idea if we could summon Selene whenever we wanted. But perhaps this was only possible for special werewolves or lycans. And I was not one of those. But I would try Hades. The only problem was - I
LUCIUS. I got bored waiting while they were eating, so I began to taunt Adan. But I couldn’t use fire since I wasn’t sure if Lucien was watching his fiber, so I used other weapons instead. Adan was surely improving, and he knew what he was doing. He was practically the exact counterpart of Lucija — he learned just as fast as her. I needed him so he could fight off the rest of the demons while Lucija and I tackled our father. But from the way he summoned fire as if he owned them and how strong they were, I was sure he could fight off Guillermo and maybe even Lucien. I didn’t know he could be that strong after such a short period. I wasn’t lying when I said that hatred and the desire to hurt the other party involved making a demon’s power stronger — but I wasn’t expecting him to go all out just after a day of training him. It took me decades to learn how to fire multiple fireballs, but he was able to do it within 24 hours. In my defense, I was young then, and despite being a demon
LUCY. "Are you ready?" I nodded my head as I tucked myself into my blanket. Lucius stood next to my bed, staring at my lying form. "Again, whatever you are doing, even if you’re in the middle of your orgasm, if Father connected with you, transport your succubus back to the portal and back here." "You told me that several times." "I just had to. I don’t want you to get lost in your own pleasure and destroy everything." "Does my succubus form ignite a fire?" "Yes. And I’m not sure if that can be tracked, so you’d better not use it. You can control fire, right?" "I can." "Then let’s go." I didn’t reply anymore and closed my eyes, sending a message to my wolf that I would be gone but I would be back soon. And in just a blink of an eye, I felt my succubus form rise from my body, and soon I was watching myself sleep. Yes, I looked like I was just sleeping. Father had never entered my chambers except for that one time he took Adan from my room, so I was hoping he would not come h
ADAN STONE. She pulled away from kissing me as her eyes widened, and tears began pooling on them as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. I was not sure if she was realizing something or not. "Do you think you’re dreaming? Or having a nightmare?" She asked. "No," I replied curtly before recapturing her mouth and kissing her bruisingly hard, putting everything I felt for her into the kiss. I didn’t give her time to ask me more. I would face Lucius’ wrath if I needed to. My female was back in my arms - if she needed my assurance that I loved her, I would do and say it without any second thoughts. "Aaah…" Lucy moaned wantonly as my lips trailed down her neck while my hand trailed down her body until it cupped her wet core. Despite the absence of the smell of her arousal, her dripping pussy was enough to tell me how much she wanted me. I inserted two fingers inside her and began finger fucking her, hard and deep, while I sucked on her breasts, flicking, biting, and pulling he

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
