PATREA.

I watched in awe as a young female stepped out of a car, and I knew right away that she was my granddaughter. She was shorter than I expected given that both Adora and I were on the taller side. She must have gotten it from her father.

I listened as she conversed with Alpha Stone in full confidence, but it didn’t slip my gaze that her eyes were sad. I wished she’d let me into her life because, after everything I'd been through and was about to do, meeting her was the only thing that seemed normal in my out-of-the-ordinary life right now. The normality that I was craving.

"Are you Patrea?" Her voice broke as our eyes met.

Everyone vanished around us as my heart warmed at the way she was looking at me.

"Althea? Yes, my name is Patrea... I’m sorry, I didn’t know I had a granddaughter. If I knew, I would have done more so I could get out of there earlier…"

I wanted to say so many things, and I kept blabbing, but she didn’t let me finish as she moved past Alpha Stone and went

    ADAN STONE. After the commotion of Blade and Althea’s arrival, everyone calmed down as I and Lucius laid out the plan we had agreed upon. Everyone, including Blade, would have a role to play, and the only one that was not present was my Beta, Collin. But he had been informed as soon as we arrived back in the territory. Only Kingston and I went back. Patrea and Althea remained in the Silver Crest territory, and Blade was left with no choice but to meet his brother and make his presence known. Blade also brought the witches to the packhouse for added protection and gave them access to an isolated clearing so Althea could practice what she needed to do. I, on the other hand, had to be cautious because Lucien was still checking the pack house from time to time and, according to him, was wondering when I would be returning home. So the moment I came back, I had to continue pretending I still had no memory of my mate, including in front of my parents. Collin, Kingston, and their mates

    LUCY. I just came back from letting Angel out, and so far it has been amazing. Angel was stronger than I expected. She had killed five gullaps that were running around near the hot spring where we were staying, and she did it in an instant. These little creatures could emit poison from their bodies, but Angel had quick reflexes and was able to corner them and pounce them to death. Five was her highest number since we began staying at the hot spring three cycles ago. She was just as fierce as my demon side, and I was happy that despite being trapped in this realm, she was growing stronger and braver. My only hope was that the cleansing would take place in a neutral cove with no enchantments that would prevent my wolf from surfacing. I wanted to have a connection with her on that day. Aside from that, Lucius would find time to fight with me while I was in my wolf form. Angel and Lucius had built such a connection between them that it made me more confident that Lucius, my brother, was

    NIGHT BEFORE THE CLEANSING.ADAN STONE.Hades’ words kept repeating in my head. I wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision. He was asking for too much, but then I knew I would give everything just to have a guarantee of a life with Lucy. Lucius asked me what Hades’ condition was, but I refused to let him know. It was enough that he knew I could enter and leave the demon realm any time I wanted and could take Lucy out with me. Hades also gave me two shots to revive someone, including myself in the case of death. I was asking for three, but he said life should not be played with, so I had to be content with the two he had given me and hope it would be enough for me or Lucy.This was getting real already. A month ago, my only concern was my fucking dick, which couldn’t seem to awaken despite females lining up for it.Who would have thought my life would take a fucking turn and throw me a fate that I had never even imagined possible? But I knew despite all of this, I would never regr

    ADAN STONE. Since the procedure with Blade didn’t have any problems, Althea proceeded to do the same for her and the unconscious Sheena. I felt bad having to drag Collin’s sister into this, but we were left with no choice. Sheena had always been a pleasant person, and I knew if she knew the whole thing, she would be willing to help, but since she had no idea about our contact with the underworld, it was safer for her to be left out as much as we could. She was staying in the city with their aunt since she went to university, so people in the pack would not be surprised to see two Sheenas while Althea is there. The only thing was, we had to be careful that no one would see Althea, aka Sheena, around the packhouse to avoid questions from our pack members once my rightful Luna came home. After Althea took Sheena’s form, Collin drove his sister back to the city while we all waited for him to come back. Blade and Althea would be coming home with Collin, while Patrea and I would enter t

    ADAN STONE. My throat was parched as I stood beside Lucius, about to enter the portal to the underworld. Aside from traversing a world unknown to me, I would be on my own. Patrea had put Beast to sleep to avoid any demons, especially Lucien, from detecting or sensing my wolf once we were outside the tower. Lucy’s cleansing would be held in a cove somewhere far from their abode, which was better since Lucy would be able to let Angel surface in case she needed to. As for me, I had to rely on my own strength and on the demon power that Lucy shared with me. I was not comfortable without my wolf, and Beast was mad about it, but we couldn’t be stubborn at this point. We needed to stay hidden as much as we could. "Would you like to join me in the underworld, Patrea?" Lucius’ eyes blazed red as a devilish grin crossed his features. His hand extended, reaching out for her to take it. It took a while before Patrea gave him her hand and responded, "I do." "Are you sure?" "Yes." Lucius

    LUCIUS. "Lucius… answer me." Lucija had always been brave, but the she-demon in front of me looked like a scared cat — soaked in the rain and with nowhere to go. I couldn’t help but flash her an evil smirk. I took pleasure in knowing even the strongest one feared me. I was anticipating that she would throw fire or ice at me, but she didn’t. Instead, her eyes pooled with tears as she tried to control her breathing.And I couldn’t take it any longer.My laughter echoed around my room as I shook my head. "The fuck, Lucija! I could have killed you when you were 11 or when you were asleep because I have access to your room. Why now? Why while Guillermo is here?""Lucius…" The pain was still flitting in her eyes. And I knew I should never feel guilty. I’d done thousands of cruel things and had never regretted any of them. I raised my hands in the air before I spoke. "I was just kidding with that dealy expression. I didn’t know you would buy it.""You! FUcking moron!" She snarled before a

  • BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon   105 - Where Is He?

    LUCY. I stood in front of a full-length mirror and looked at myself. The rightful heir to the Kalmerus throne? Why me? What have I done to deserve this throne? I am a half-blood demon. Were they mistaking my mixed aura as a strong one? Because I was sure that I couldn’t feel in me the desire to rule this kingdom. I wanted to prove my father wrong, but I would use the fact that he thought I was his heir to my advantage — that he couldn't touch or kill me because it would kill him as well. Regardless if I was the heir or not, Lucius was right: I was the weapon in this war. I summoned two daggers, and they came swishing from my weapon chest and stopped midair in front of me. I grabbed them and aimed for the painting hanging at the far end of my room, aiming for the center of the flower vase. In seconds, the first dagger flew out of my hand and landed where I wanted it to. The next dagger followed and split the handle of the first one before it dropped off the floor. I didn’t wast

    ADAN STONE."Are you ready?" Lucius asked me.I nodded my head as I braced myself for what was about to come next. We would be transporting ourselves to where Lucy was as she waited for Guillermo. I needed to see where I would need to take Patrea later on. Transporting was only possible if you had a clear picture or image of the place you wanted to go, or at least a clear description. With my power being new, it would only work if I could see where I wanted to be teleported.So Lucius had to take me inside the tower, and later, I would be the one to teleport Patrea there so she could do her spell to stun Guillermo while Lucius would appear in his father’s chamber. This was to divert suspicion away from Lucius while Patrea and I made our move to take Guillermo out of the picture.I placed the invisible cloak over us and held onto Lucius’ shoulder. We were in a dimly lit corridor in an instant, and my gaze was drawn to the female I had been longing to hold.Lucy.She was clad in sexy j

    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
