Here's for today! THank you for waiting! Have a great weekend, lovelies!
ALTHEA. This whole week with Blade was amazing. I didn’t know anyone could shift their attitude so fast. I saw less grumpiness and more smiles on his face, and every time, it made me like him more. But a part of me was still hesitant to go all out. Blade joked with me last night that I was punishing him because I limit our intimacy to just kissing and sometimes - oral. But before I could explain, he took it back and told me he could wait. So I would make him wait. Besides, we were still getting to know each other. Lucy: Tonight is a full moon. Are you ready for it? I bit my bottom lip before typing my reply to her. Althea: I guess so. If it’s like the previous ones, I’m sure, even though it hurts, I will survive. Lucy: You survived the others because Patrea knocked you out, plus Blade is not around. Trust me, if you smell him, you will go ballistic. Althea: Did you forget I’m not a wolfie? I can’t smell him other than his regular smell. I smiled despite myself because,
ALTHEA. “Nice to meet you, Althea. My name is Alas.” I just smiled at him and adjusted my position. I looked straight ahead since the professor had just come in. But I felt him lean closer. “It’s a boring subject, so I am pleased to sit beside an interesting female rather than thread this class for the next hour on my own.” His voice was low. I knew there was some distance between us, but I felt his breath fanning against my neck. I ignored him and kept looking ahead. I was doing my best to focus on what the professor was saying. I had been in the same stiff position for a moment, and I could still feel his stare on my skin. It was making my throat dry. Too dry. I wished he would cease staring at me. The way he was doing it was making me uncomfortable. I would not deny that while I was at the other university, I was also getting attention, but never this way — never did someone look at me as if he wanted to stick his eyes onto my skin. I should find another seat next time
ALTHEA.“I said, fucking run!” Blade roared.My body spun around before I sprang in the opposite direction, going further into the forest.I couldn’t hear anything except the beating of my own heart and the sobs that were escaping from my throat as I ran away.If I had a choice, I would stay. But I knew Blade. Despite everything we went through, despite all the fights and resentment we felt for each other, there was never a moment when he didn’t risk his life to protect me. So even if I couldn’t understand why Rage was so angry with me, I ran away, trusting Blade one more time. I had no idea how long I had been running when a loud growl erupted in the air, and it made me stumble on my path. My body dropped to the ground, and I immediately turned around, inching my ass backward.I saw Rage from afar. He was running, but from time to time, he was also fumbling on his paws as if he didn’t know how to run. Blade must be doing something to stop him from reaching me.I gripped the groun
ALTHEA. “Yes. I am, and Rage, too. But I was able to convince him to let me handle your punishment tonight.” “Punishment? I thought you said next time…” “I said next time, there would be no mercy. But it doesn’t mean I will let you off the hook.” He said with a face devoid of any emotion. “Lay on my thighs.” He ordered, but he didn’t even let me move on my own, as he was already pulling me off the ground and guiding my body to lay on my stomach on his legs. I didn’t know what to feel. I felt embarrassed and excited at the same time. However, when he pulled my skirt up, and the wind brushed against my ass, I began to panic. “What’s his name?” He asked, his hand brushing softly on my cheek, and I knew another slap would end up there. Was he talking about Alas? “Alas,” I answered. Pak! My mouth parted, but I didn’t cry or shriek. Instead, I bit my bottom lip with my hand, clutching his leg tightly. “His last name.” “Quade.” Pak! I gasped softly, and my chest began to heave.
BLADE. I was furious to see the man’s face leaning too close to Althea, and she was not doing anything. Instead, she smiled back at him. Jealousy ate up all my senses, and so did Rage. I had always been jealous of every man when it came to Althea, from the warriors in Stone’s pack to my own Gamma. Gamma Aldrin made a joke about her one time. After I took over again as Alpha, I blatantly told him and Dalton that Althea was too young for me. He said if I rejected her, he would be lucky if he turned out to be her second chance mate. I knew it was a joke, but Aldrin had no idea I had no humor in my body. I didn’t scold him then, but Dalton asked him to stop. But when Althea moved to the packhouse, I kicked him out. I was jealous that they were almost of the same age and that Althea might take a fancy to him. But after our talk in the middle of the forest after our first night together, I was confident that her attention was still mine. Until today. I couldn’t explain the rage
ALTHEA. Blade said it was already two in the morning when we arrived home. I passed out after many rounds of sex in the forest. He put clothes on me, carried me back to his car, and drove us home. In short, he took care of me, and I ended up waking up in his bed with him already looking at me when I opened my eyes. Since I told him to wake me up before he went to work, Blade has never failed to do that. And I would either wake up with him or go back to bed after giving him a kiss. But today, I woke up and showered with him before he drove me to school. My nether region was still sensitive but not painful. He told me his “magic saliva” healed me while I was asleep, and although I believed him, I wondered why I didn’t wake up if he was devouring my pussy. I guess I was too tired from being fucked in different positions and at different intensities while I was in heat. But all in all, despite the turbulent start, it was a good night and a better morning, as I was not kicked out o
BLADE.Two days had gone by swiftly since I began spending time teaching Althea Math. But we need to work overtime today as she needs to submit her manual tomorrow.“Althea, you’re not listening. Do we need to have another round with fractions and determiners?” She was sitting on my lap, and I was letting her answer some equations on her own.“My mind is not functioning.” She let out an exasperated sigh.Althea was not kidding when she said her mind was in the gutter when it came to math. But with no formal background in advanced math, it was really hard to start with, even the basic algebra, but she was trying, and she was good at it. But learning everything is impossible overnight.“Maybe it's better if you sit somewhere else and not on my lap. If you’re able to get the equations right, then you can sit back here.” I suggested as I rubbed her back.“No…” She grunted and leaned her forehead against my desk before clasping her hands behind her head. “You can’t make me leave. It’s nice
BLADE. “I want Althea to go back to Mystic Pack,” Patrea said calmly, and I felt my chest constricted. “No!” Althea exclaimed, and I growled the word at the same time. Althea’s head snapped in my direction, and her expression mirrored mine. She didn’t want to be far away from me. “I want to stay here with Blade,” Althea told them. “I know you want that, but it might not be safe for you. At least there, Lucy and Adan can protect you.” “And what do you think of me here? I will just let anyone harm Althea?” I couldn’t stop raising my voice. “Blade, we are facing a demon.” “And you’re saying I’m fucking useless!” “No… I didn’t say that.” Patrea said firmly. “Stop with your rubbish! Don’t go say I love Althea, and I will save her because you can’t! What will you do if he unleashes hell here on earth? Can you protect her? You’re going to fucking burn and die with her!” Lucius hissed at me. “This is your fucking fault!” I bellowed back at him. Althea’s hand went up to my chest,
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
