Lovelies, I will not be following any more schedules for this book, so I don't get pressure for daily updates. The book is already nearing its end, and we are just a few scenes away (so the number of chapters depends on how long each scene lasts). Let me give you an ending that comes from the heart rather than one that I will force myself to write because of the update pressure. I will do my best to provide updates every day or every other day. I hate to disappoint all of you, but as I mentioned before, my goal to meet bonuses is on the other book, so the focus shifted there. BUT, I want to write this story, so I keep pushing myself hard to deliver, but I also have a life & get tired. ❤THANK YOU for staying & waiting every day! You're all amazing!❤
LUCIUS.I thought Patrea just wanted me to experience how it felt to fall asleep. I didn’t know she had other plans in mind. But I wasn’t complaining. In fact, I was thankful for the experience she gave me. She knew all the right ways to make me feel important.Patrea let me fall asleep, only to wake me up with my hard cock in her mouth.I already knew from the very beginning that she was different and that I would be lucky to have her. And after everything that happened today, including my cock in her mouth, it only proved that I was right — I had a very special female in my arms that no other demons were lucky enough to have."Are you not going to stop nibbling my neck?" Patrea was giggling as my nose and lips continued to nuzzle and suck her skin. "I can stay here for a long time, just doing this.""You can’t slack off, you have two kingdoms to rule and protect now.""Do I?" I pulled away from her neck as a devil’s smirk tugged at my mouth. "If I have to choose, this is the only o
PATREA. After I admitted everything to Lucius, he simply moved on from it. I wanted to believe he wasn’t affected at all, but then I saw him with Luther the moment we came to the Mystic Pack, and my insecurities came back again. I had known from the very beginning — even before there was him and me — that he was already affectionate toward his nephew, and yet a part of me wanted to grieve. He wanted one, and it was something I couldn’t give him. "If Lucius said it’s okay with him, then it’s okay. I know my own brother. He never sugarcoats his words. And it is what makes both of you click together because you both tell what you feel." Lucy stated that before she stood in front of me, her hands went to my arms, and she gently brushed them. "Don’t let it bother you." "But I wish I could give him more," I said in a soft voice. Lucy smiled at me, her eyes watering as she let out a warm smile. "You have given Lucius so much, Patrea. And I can’t thank you enough. I know he can take care
LUCIUS. "Are you even listening?" Adan growled lowly, and my head snapped to look at him just in time to see my nephew, Luther, who was sitting on his lap, place a hand over his mouth and begin producing gurgling sounds. "He doesn’t like when you growl," I chuckled. "Try hissing." "This pup here will be an Alpha, not a demon king." Stone chuckled while letting Luther’s hand roam his face. "Not yet, not right away. But he will be king. You can’t stop him from having the fate destined for him." "Fine. Who am I to question that when my own fate is complicated? But I’m not complaining. I’ve got the girl! And this little fire here!" He squeezed his son’s arms gently before mimicking the gurgling sounds that Luther produced. I had no idea what to feel at the moment as I looked at the father and son. I wanted someone like Luther. But I would never let Patrea know that. Like Stone, I’ve got the girl. It should be enough. "What’s wrong?" Stone asked, and I found him staring at me. "What
LUCIUS. His eyes blazed red, and I saw confusion flit through them, but it was gone in seconds. “Tell me what you want, Lucius.” “I want you to break Lucien’s curse on Patrea’s, linking my bloodline to be fatal for her. Including the nightmares she was having.” “Are you afraid you will kill your queen?” “Not me, Hades. I will kill myself first before I even think of that. But I have hundreds of siblings and quite a number of offspring, making each one a danger for my queen.” “Are you sure about this? Don’t you want an heir, Lucius? Like the one Lucija has?” “What will I do with an heir if I don’t have Patrea anymore?” I asked back. “Do you know how much Patrea wants to give you a child? Don’t you want to give her something her heart desires?” “Her life is far more important to me than a child.” “You are being selfish. You wanted her alive for yourself, but what about your queen? Doesn’t she deserve to have what she wants?” “I’m a demon, Hades. Let me be selfish.” His laugh
PATREA. “But Hades cannot unbind the spell you created, Patrea,” Guinevere explained, and I felt my heart being ripped apart. “What do you mean? So King Hades was not lying when he said he couldn’t?” I asked. “The spells were created using the energy of my spirits, not the energy of his demons. So he’s not lying in a way, but then he can do something to override it. That’s why he asked you what you wanted to give in return. “But why would he offer a gift if he wants to take something back?” “If the gift you are asking for is something he can do in a blink of an eye, like lifting Lucien’s curse of linking his bloodline to kill you, then he will do it without asking anything back. But what you are asking is something that he needs to touch in other realms to get. He can, if he will. But he has the heart of a demon, Patrea. So if he can get more than what he gives, he will take it.” “I have nothing to offer him. I will not give up Lucius!” “What do you think you have that demons ar
LUCIUS.After I had unleashed my frustration at the dungeon, I fixed myself and transported my body back to the Mystic Pack packhouse, only to find out Patrea was not there.“Again, Lucija, where did Patrea go?” I asked Lucija for the nth time since she came into this room with Althea.“She’s safe, Lucius. You need to trust that your queen can take care of herself.” She responded instead of answering my question. “I know she can, but I just want to know where she is. Don’t force me to dig into your head for answers.”“I’m sure you can’t. No one has ever read my mind.”I hissed at her, knowing she was telling the truth. My head snapped to Althea’s, and it made her body jolt backward, but Lucija was fast enough to block me.“Do not do whatever you are thinking. Patrea will not appreciate it if you meddle with Althea’s mind.”In frustration, I brushed my hair with my hand before turning around and walking in the opposite direction inside the bedroom where Patrea was last seen. I tried t
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
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

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
