Here's another two for today! Thank you for reading! Don't forget to drop gems for our couple! 💖
ALTHEA. “I can sleep on the floor,” Blade said after he closed the door, and we were left alone in that small room. I bit my bottom lip, trying to stifle a giggle from escaping my throat the moment I turned around to look at him. The roof was low, and he had to hunch his back to avoid bumping his head. “What’s funny?” He asked, scowling. Gone was the soft expression that was on his face earlier. Probably because pretending we were a couple no longer applied when we were alone. But I wasn’t even acting when I cried in the living room. I didn’t want him to leave because even if I was annoyed with him all the time, I wanted him around me. “You look uncomfortable with how small this room is for you,” I told him. “I am. I hate small spaces. I hate small things. I could crush them easily.” He answered right away. The smile on my lips was wiped out immediately. It just reminded me that I was one of the small things he never liked. “Will you be fine on the floor? We can share the pi
BLADE. “Enough, Althea.” I tilted my head to the side, avoiding kissing her more as I shut my eyes so I wouldn’t see her, which was a wrong move. Because even with my eyes closed, all I saw was her. All of her, and I felt more of the way she was grinding against my bulge.But I knew I couldn’t take this any further. Althea was young, and I was probably the first male she had around her, so there was no doubt that she felt attached to me. But we both knew this was leading nowhere. I didn’t want her. I was okay with being alone. I just wanted her to be safe. Althea’s body stiffened before she climbed out from top of me and settled on her side of the bed, with her back on me. I wanted to console her, but it would just make leaving her harder. So I stayed still, not letting the feel of her back against my arm affect me, even if the sparks between us were giving me a pleasure I would never get tired of. I kept my eyes closed and tried to put Soledad’s face in my mind. I had a ma

SEVEN MONTHS LATER. BLADE. The season changed, as did everything in my life. I looked at the vast land before me and thought of my territory. The Silver Crest — the territory that had been witness to all the lows in my life. I left it so I could move on from the death of Soledad, only to return upon another death. My brother’s death. When I abandoned my pack, Fabian, my younger brother, took over as the Alpha of the Silver Crest. He had no aspiration to be one — no training, no preparation — and yet my irresponsible self left without any warning, turning over the Alpha post to him without his approval. Despite that, he stepped up to the challenge. But there was never an instance where he didn’t ask me to take it back from him whenever we would meet. I kept refusing. For five years, Fabian struggled to survive this pack. He did his best, but it kept getting weaker. And then an Alpha asshole saw that as an opportunity and attacked, seizing the territory and killing him an
BLADE. “Name it,” I said before pursing my lips into a thin line while my hands went on his hips as I stared at the little witch in front of me. Her face lit up as she smiled broadly before she spoke. “I want my own room.” “You’ll get your one..” “But I want it on the same floor as yours.” “You will have the room beside mine,” I answered. I had the room prepared already. There was an adjoining door between the two rooms, as I requested to have it installed a few days ago when I came up with the decision to ask her to be my Luna. “Good. And then I want an area where I can practice witchcraft.” “I can give you that. A big clearing with a small cabin. I can have my men build a cabin almost the same as the one you have in the mountains.” She bit her bottom lip as her eyes sparkled. “You don’t have to do that.” “I want to. But it doesn’t mean you will sleep there. You will only sleep in the packhouse or wherever I am.” “Okay. But another thing: I don’t want to hide my real ident
BLADE. “Suck it clean, baby…” I said in a raspy voice. I was having a raging erection. I wanted to fuck Althea. Marking her, plus her clawing my neck with her nails, was too sensual and intimate that it was taking too much of me not to push further. But I knew I was no gentleman in bed. After Soledad died, I spent the next couple of months fucking every female I could get my hands on. I was not gentle. With anger in my blood, I couldn’t get satisfaction with simple sex. I fucked hard and nasty — night after night, day after day. But the lust eventually faded out. I became numb when it came to physical sex that even the wildest partner could never make me want more. Until I realized I was not engaging in it anymore. And I was okay with that. I survived five years of abstinence. And then Althea came, and her innocence had drawn me back to the raging desire within me. I couldn’t stop the filthy thoughts in my head about all the ways I wanted to take her. But I knew I would
ALTHEA. When Blade asked me to be his Luna, my first instinct was to say no. He left after he marked me on my first heat without even saying goodbye. Did he expect that I would fall to my knees and accept his offer just because we shared time together in the underworld? Or that he gifted me a big car on my 19th birthday? Even if I missed him and his presence alone was enough to make my heart flutter, I knew he would only use me for his own good. Well, if anything, he was honest. He wanted me as his Luna for a reason. He thought the females of his pack adored me, and having me around would help his pack see him in a different light. Regardless of his reason, I was ready to say no. But then I spent time with Patrea and Lucy, and I felt so alone. A part of me wished to have something that they had with their males. I realized then that they didn’t have it easy with Lucius and Adan either. But both of them didn’t give up and still dove head-on, placing their hearts on the line an
ALTHEA. Blade and I went to the dining room after I freshened up. I met Dalton again, and I was introduced to his female, Thalia, and to their next Gamma, Aldrin. In the beginning, the table was tense, as Blade was just quiet. But Dalton started talking, and I realized he didn’t hate me. I thought he was holding a grudge against me because Blade killed one of his men who was affected by my heat previously. But when he, as well as Thalia, began talking and asking questions, I felt at ease. The dinner went well, and I called it a night after as I was tired and wanted to rest. But Blade stayed at his office because, as he said, he needed to finish some of his paperwork. I went to sleep without seeing him, and if he ever checked on me before he went to his bed, I had no idea, as I slept nicely the whole night. And I woke up late the next morning. I didn’t even put an enchantment on me. I just slept and felt fresh when I woke up. When I went down, they had already had their breakf
EPILOGUE 2 BLAIR.I showed Alonso my dagger—a gift from Mama Patrea and Dada Lucius. It was made in the underworld. Mommy taught me a spell where I could summon it even from a great distance, in case I needed it in a time of danger. But I didn’t tell Alonso I was not supposed to use it for simple duels like this. In no time, we were dueling, and I could tell he was going easy on me. Easy, but not really easy. “Oh, shoot!” His dagger slashed into my arm as he was backing away. It was painful, but it was just a small cut. Nothing that wouldn’t heal. He was about to approach me, but I held my hand to stop him. “Moved back. You’ll pay for cutting me.” I said, giggling, and before I realized what I was doing, I threw the dagger at him. Like I’d done twice today, and I didn’t throw hard. I knew he could dodge it.But for some reason, my surroundings felt too warm, like I was placed in a sauna. After that, everything happened in a flash.I saw the dagger flying at full speed toward him.
FIVE YEARS AFTER EPILOGUE 1 Blair 11 years old Alonso 16 years old Luther 12 years old Blast 7 years old Lukas 6 years old Lily 6 years oldALTHEA. I sliced another portion of the cake and placed it on Blast’s plate. He, Lily, and Lukas had been eating non-stop, and if I was not aware of who their fathers were, I would definitely ask them to stop. But I knew they could all handle the sweets and food. They had an appetite bigger than the whole Kalmerus. “And you were saying?” I inquired as I made my way toward the sink. I had to wash the cake knife directly and place it back inside the drawer afterward, as it’d be a big risk to leave it on top of the counter where Lukas could see it. Lukas had a fascination with knives, and at six years old, he had no control over his reflexes. Everything he throws would end up exploding. “Sorry, I spaced out,” I added.“I said Blair is doing great in the Alpha camp. It didn’t matter that she was the only female there. She could make all th
6 YEARS AFTER BLAIR’S BIRTH.‘Luna Althea…’ The Omega’s voice reached my head, and my heart dropped. She was panicking, and I could tell she was running.‘Where are you?’ I asked as I opened the door from where I was.I saw Meredith running toward us with Blair in her arms. I grabbed my daughter from her and checked for any injuries or something strange, but there was nothing. “What happened?” Blade asked as he stood behind me. He was holding Blast, our two-year-old son, in his arms. We were celebrating Blair’s sixth birthday, and we had a small celebration in the packhouse. I was in one of the receiving rooms with our guests when Meredith mindlinked me. She was Blair’s Omega, and she had been with her since she was a baby. When I was not with our child, she was the one responsible for her. So, the worry in her voice made me panic, too.“I turned my back to her for a few seconds, and when I looked back, she was already outside the door. I didn’t hear her open the sliding door. I kne
ALTHEA.“It is no longer in our control, Althea. But I’m keeping my hope that one day, Elliot will realize we are not the enemy.”Althea didn’t reply and just let the silence rule us. The last car passed by, and we acknowledged the nod of respect they gave us. Once they were out of our sight, Althea turned her body around and wrapped her arms around my waist, resting her cheek against my chest. “Shall we call it a night, Alpha?”“Hmmm… The night is young. Would you like to go somewhere with me?”“You know I will go anywhere you lead. What do you have in mind?”My eyes dilated before a smile graced my face. I licked my upper lip before I leaned down, my mouth brushing against her ear. “Rage wanted to take control tonight. If you let him…”She pulled away from hugging me, and I always laughed out loud at the way her eyes squinted and her lips pouted. “Rage or you? You’re always using his name…”“My Luna knows me so well,” I chuckled before pressing my forehead against her. She was so sho
BLADE.“You need to be careful with your words, Blade. He’s too young to be traumatized.” Althea said. “I’ll try my best…” I let out a breath and tried to calm myself. Althea was traumatized as a child, and she made it her advocacy to look after children’s welfare. She had built a women’s center in our territory, which was run by females and served as a safe haven for women and children. As much as I tried to have a peaceful territory, domestic abuse was still present, but no one was complaining about it. So Althea wanted the women’s center to reach out to every school and hold symposiums and meetings to build awareness that there was a place they could always go to. Her vision and effort were rewarded, as lately we were able to save two females and their children. It was not a big number, but it was still celebrated on our end. While one of the perpetrators managed to escape and has yet to be found, another has already received a whipping and is currently serving his sentence in
ALTHEA.Six months had gone by since Blair was born, and so far, everything had been quiet. We had not heard of Alastor. I was not even sure if he was aware that I had given birth already, as there were no strange occurrences within the territory.Blade had beefed up the security, investing in the same equipment that Adan had used before to detect a demon’s presence around his territory. He used Lucius’ body temperature as he was the closest to what Alastor was—a full royal demon. But we have not detected anything up until today. Either it didn’t work for Alastor, or he was really nowhere around us. We tried to live normally. Blair hadn’t stepped out of the packhouse grounds, but she was given an Alpha welcome in one of the hotels in this territory. We took a big risk that day because we wanted our people to see her. They deserved to meet their future Alpha, and I was grateful that everything went smoothly. There were also no signs of Alastor or even his aura. Four royal demons su
ALTHEA.After spending a few more minutes together, Blade helped me change into more comfortable clothes, and we finally let our family and friends see Blair.Patrea, Lucius, Lucy, and Adan came in together. My Beta Female Thalia and Gamma Female Sheena also came with the Beta and the Gamma. Lucy was holding her son, Luther, while Thalia had Declan in her arms. Declan was just five weeks old, and I had already fallen in love with him. I was lucky that my girl would have him. Based on how protective his parents were toward me and Blade, I knew the future Alpha would be in good company.With me and Thalia having pups, we had been teasing Sheena that it was her turn this year, so our pups’ ages wouldn’t be too far away.We had no idea if our teasing did it or simply because our Gammas couldn’t get their hands off each other. Sheena was already in her third month of pregnancy, and in less than seven months, our Gamma baby would be born. Sheena had already relocated to our pack and was
ALTHEA“Blade!” I screamed before I gave one last push, and I felt a large mass just swim out of my vagina as my whole body melted. I had been tired from doing rituals and spells and sex marathons with my mate, but I was never this tired. I felt like all of my limbs and even my internal organs needed a whole year to get their energy back.I was still lost in oblivion when a loud cry pierced the air, and Blade’s hold on my body tightened as he hugged me again. I was sure he had been whispering words to me, but I kept spacing out.“We have a girl…” He mumbled excitedly when I finally met his eyes.I couldn’t stop the smile from curling on my lips. I was actually smiling wide because Blade’s enthusiasm was contagious.What was funnier was that we knew all along that we had a girl. Guinevere confirmed it, and the ultrasounds said it as well. But the excitement on his face and his voice told me like this was the first time he found out we were having a girl.“Can you believe we have a girl
ALTHEA.A soft moan escaped my throat before I bit my bottom lip, suppressing any further sound from coming out as I arched my body. I woke up with a tingling sensation coursing through my core, and I was right — Blade was worshiping my pussy, feasting on it as if he were never fed. I just let myself get lost in the sensation, and it took a while before my surroundings sank in.We were in my cottage. In my old childhood bedroom. He probably didn’t feel right fucking me in my mother’s bedroom, so instead, he cramped us in my little bed. The last time I remember, we were inside the cave behind the waterfall. I couldn’t remember coming here. I must have passed out. My pregnancy was making me sleepy all the time, so falling asleep anytime, anywhere, was nothing new. And the way my body felt secure around Blade was most likely the reason I didn’t wake up while he walked us home.Then the memory of my conversation with Guinevere came flashing in my head. But was it real? Or was it all a d
