Here's the second one for today/tonight! Thank you for waiting and reading! Don't forget to drop us some gems and comments ♡ P.S: I hope the chapters tonight didn't confuse you. But if it does, feel free to ask questions, and I will answer as long as they don't include spoilers.
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
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
LUCY."Lucius still couldn’t find or reach Guillermo. He’ll be checking on the other kingdom, but I told him to come back. The royal guests would be arriving soon." Father informed me."Royal guests? What do you mean? I thought the first step would just be us. Is the orgy scheduled today as well?" I asked calmly, but I was already starting to panic. Escaping one man was easier than seven demons all wanting a taste of me."No. Just you and Guillermo. Or Lucius, but they will be watching.""What?" I gasped."Does it bother you? It should not. We see orgies and sex all the time. But of course, it is a pleasure to see royals as the center of the event.""Why was I not informed?""It’s nothing big, Lucija. You're a demon. I'm sure you had as much fun fucking as everyone else." He stated this and turned his back on me before opening another hologram. My eyes darted to the hologram where Blade and Althea were. As much as I didn’t like seeing Adan’s body there, I knew it wasn’t him. There wa
ADAN STONE. He didn’t say anything more and just opened the door to where Lucien was, and the moment he did, Lucien’s aura struck me in full force. I forgot how powerful his aura was until now. Lucius had a strong aura, but it was nothing compared to how strong Lucien’s aura was, and I was now contemplating if we had the capacity to beat him. "Father, I couldn’t find Guillermo," Lucius stated right away. "Obviously. Or he would be here standing with me and not you." He replied without even glancing at Lucius. I could see Lucius trying to keep his jaw from tightening. He had told me how his father had disregarded him all the time, and I just shrugged it off, but I could see it now with my own eyes. And I didn’t know if I should feel bad for him or not — at least without Lucien’s attention, he was free to do whatever he wanted. "I know that and what if I have no intention of going through the rituals with Lucija? Do you have a backup plan?" "What are you talking about?" Lucien hi
ADAN STONE. Sweat formed everywhere on my body as Lucius gave me his final instructions for tonight. After this, I had to work with a limited conversation with him since he might need to transfer every thought Lucien would give him to me, especially during the rituals. Rituals — but, in my opinion, it was nothing more than a fucking open show in which everyone here would feast on my mate’s body. I wasn’t sure if I was prepared for this, but I reminded myself that this is the demon world, where nakedness and sex out in the open were nothing to be ashamed of. But I was glad for once that Beast was still in slumber, or it would be harder to control both of us around our mate. "From the expression on your face, you’re not liking this at all." Lucius’ voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "I thought we didn’t need to mate in there." I sighed in disappointment. "But you heard Lucien. He made a spell to ground Lucy there until she came. It’s just a fuck. Just get it over and done, and I
ADAN STONE The moment we entered the cove, I threw out all the nervousness I felt inside. I had Lucius’ body and Lucy’s power. I would be at par with every demon in this place, and there was no reason for me to be terrified. I needed to save my female. Most importantly, I had Hades’ favor on my side - I should be okay. I let my eyes roam the whole cove — it was dark, and the lights illuminating the place were just the candles scattered everywhere and the burning stones separating the middle from the platform where Lucien sat on his throne. Demons of various kinds sat on the sides, on higher ground but not higher than Lucien’s. Some of them were in their demon forms, but most were wearing the human facade that Lucien and Lucius now had. But Lucy was not yet here. ‘Come here, Lucius,’ Lucien’s voice rang in my head, but it came from Lucius. He was directly sending me his father’s command. I walked towards the middle in a confident stride with Lucius’ invisible form beside me. M

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
