Cassandra MHere's for tonight. Yes, this is hell week, and I suggest that others wait 4-6 chapters (or more) before reading again if you can't stand the cliffhangers. 💕Otherwise, please join us as every chapter unfolds. Your comments and theories mean a lot to keep me going. Also, please be kind and trust the process. To those asking where the Royals are, they will appear when they are due to appear in this storyline. This is Althea and Blade's book, and as much as we love the four royals, Blade and Althea deserve the limelight in their own book—the same way I would always put the spotlight on my leads for every book. So again, please trust the process... 🔥💕

ALTHEA.“Hand me your power, Anaiah, or he will die before your eyes!” Soledad shouted, but I couldn’t pay attention to her because my eyes widened when I realized who grabbed me and where I landed. As expected, a loud growl erupted in the air, drowning out all the noises around us. But before I could move to pull myself away from Alastor, he pushed me to the side, making my body fall to the ground. The push was far from harsh. In fact, he pushed me aside, like I was something fragile. “Don’t you fucking touch her!” Blade growled, and when I tilted my head to look at him, I saw Dalton on the ground with Soledad. Then Lucius and Patrea appeared, and I had no idea where to look first. Everything happened so fast after that. I stood up and moved away from Alastor. I raised my hand and chanted a spell, casting an air to knock off Soledad, at the same time, Lucius threw his hand in our direction. I knew he was aiming for Alastor because his eyes were on him and not mine. But just as m

BLADE. “I didn’t…” Althea mumbled. “I didn’t do anything to protect him…” My jaw tightened. My heart wanted to believe Althea, but I saw the mist coming off her body. ‘Don’t forget that Alastor is the Prince of Deception. He could be deceiving all of us.’ Rage growled in my head, and I knew he was taking Althea’s side. But he was right. I saw how Althea was after Alastor left her. There was no way she would protect him, but why did he save her earlier? I was about to jump at her to take her away from the blast Soledad cast on her, but my Beta and Alastor reacted faster. I only saw the attack when it was near her. But even if I hated Alastor, and for whatever reason he did it, I was glad he came in between. My Beta caught the blow, but if Alastor hadn’t come, Dalton’s wolf would have crushed Althea. “No! Please, baby! No!” Thalia’s screams resonated in the air, and it snapped me out of my thoughts. I found myself standing and still face-to-face with Althea. We both turned

BETA FEMALE THALIA. FLASHBACK ALMOST 6 YEARS AGO. Thalia - 18 YEARS OLDDalton - 23 YEARS OLD “Happy Birthday, sweetheart!” Mom greeted me as soon as she entered my bedroom. I giggled and held the skirt of my dress, flapping it slowly before I curtsied before her. “Thank you, madame!” I said in a polite way before shrieking, flapping my hands in the air as I ran toward her, throwing myself at her for a hug. “Eighteen! Finally” My mother laughed heartily as she wrapped me in her arms and peppered my head with kisses. “My baby is no longer a baby!” “Yes! Finally, a lady now!” I nodded my head and pretended to be a lady with class before I burst out laughing. “You look lovely, Thalia.” She said it lovingly as her eyes watered while she looked at me with so much love. “Thank you! I’m as lovely as my mother!” I replied. “Of course!” She said proudly. My mother and I had always been close. Although we never agreed on things all the time, I was blessed to grow up in an environment

BETA FEMALE THALIA. FIVE DAYS AFTER THALIA’S 18TH BIRTHDAY. “What do you mean Alpha Blade left?” I asked Dalton as we stood in his office at the training building. I felt a pack bond break and a new one form, and I knew we had a new Alpha, but like everyone else, I had no idea what happened as there was no attack and the pack was peaceful and not under any threat. It had been a day since it happened, and Alpha Fabian had just arrived home an hour ago. After my mate met with him, Dalton asked me to meet him at his office. “Alpha Fabian is our new Alpha.” He said. His hands were on his head and I could see anger in his eyes. “Did he challenge his brother?” “No! The fucker left us without any explanation and left the whole pack under Fabian…” “What?” I couldn’t believe what I just heard, but before I could voice my opinion on how wrong this was, Beta Cedric came in and banged the door closed. “Fuck! Fuck!” The Beta kept cursing. “Calm down!” Dalton told him. “How can I fu

BLADE. My knees buckled as the bond between me and Dalton was broken. The pain was bearable, but I found myself growling in agony as I finally dropped to my knees. This was my fault. I shouldn’t have underestimated Soledad. When they appeared with Dalton, my eyes were fixated on Alastor, as I thought he was the one who would create chaos. I was wrong. He saved Althea, and for what reason, I had no idea. But it still didn’t change the fact that Dalton took the blow. And tonight, I lost the only man that was left on my team from day one. The one who never abandoned my brother and the pack despite my wrongdoings. When Ethan took over, he asked Dalton to bow down to him, but my Beta never did. He was already sentenced to die by dawn when Stone and I saved him. But there is no saving him now. He was gone, and I don’t think I could forgive myself for this. I should have taken that jump. Maybe things would have turned out differently if I had. My jaw tightened as I stopped mys

ALTHEA. Everyone was doing their part except me. “How many hours do I have before his soul voluntarily goes back to the moon?” I asked Lucius without taking my eyes off Dalton and the men around him. “Three, four, seven hours. Unless Selene comes and takes his wolf right away. But his wolf is still alive, according to Blade.” I took a deep breath as I made a decision I hoped I would not regret in the end. “See you on the other side soon.” I told Lucius before I stepped forward, aiming to get to Blade. His hand coiled on my wrist as he pulled me back. “What do you mean?” “I want to speak with my mate first,” I replied before pulling my arm away from him. I walked to where Blade was and held his shoulders. He tilted his head to look at me, and it was only then that I spoke. “Can we talk?” “But…” “We don’t have time. I want you to trust me.” He nodded and took one last look at Dalton before he removed his hand from his and stood up. Lucy dropped to her knees in the space l

ALTHEA. “I’m ready…” As soon as the words left my lips, the light on the candles became brighter, and my heart thudded loudly. I knew there was no turning back. The only question was whether I could trust the dark spirits. Would they give me what I needed without harming anyone?My head began to buzz with murmurs and whispers from the spirits. They were too many, but I could fully understand all of them. I could hear the excitement in their voices, like a family welcoming me home. My eyes snapped open, and I found myself with my hands raised. I was creating a global barrier around Dalton and me. It just came naturally, even if I had asked Patrea to shield Blade and Thalia, probably because I knew something would go wrong or because I didn’t fully trust the spirits in my head.“Spiritus potentes post umbram latent, detrás da sombra escoitan as miñas súplicas...” As soon as the shield was up, I began chanting the words they whispered to me. I could feel the heat burning from my chest

BLADE. I held my breath as I watched Althea. She began chanting, but I couldn’t hear anything. This was like when she cast a spell to bind Stone and Lucy’s lives together. “Is your barrier not allowing us to hear what she’s saying?” I asked Patrea. “No. I believe she created her own shield.” “But why?” “I have no idea.” “This is not good.” I blurted out as I brushed my hand over my head. “You need to trust Althea. She’s not a child.” Lucius said. I knew he was right, but knowing this was the first time Althea would be performing such a dark and dangerous spell, I couldn’t relax. And the thought that I would never get to her if things went wrong didn’t sit right with me. I kept my focus on her as I stared ahead. I saw her eyes snap open, and it felt like I was looking at a different person. I couldn’t see any whites in her eyes. They were totally black. They looked empty, and then her hair began to rise as a black mist swirled around her body. Soon, the flames of the candle

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
