Once the door shuts behind me, I feel a little dizzy and almost drop, but I use the wall as support. "Lippy?""I must be cruel, right?" I ask Camila, who stays silent as warm tears run down my cheeks. "I must be born a villain to be cruel to innocent people like Feno. After all, I'm a demon. Demons are meant to be evil and merciful. But..." I clench my fist on my chest as if a sharp pain stabs me in the heart. "I couldn't bear to show any cruelty. I wanted to help him. He came here for my help, and I made him lose hope."I exhale a shaky breath. "I don't know what to do. I'm so useless."I let my insecurities get the best of me as I put myself down with all the major flaws of being weak. The thought of someone asking for my help always makes me happy. But dealing with miasma, I know the results. Everyone like me wants to survive and be strong. I practice my powers every day, I do my best to solve the miasma problem, and I won't quit when I do. My old self would've given up, but I'm no
I gaze through the window of the private jet studying clouds as each one passes by as we are on our way to Romania. They take forms of different shapes as I count each one in my head."Lippy, are you still not talking to me?"I scowl and advert my eyes on Dominic, sitting across from me, with his sad wolf pup face. This was the tenth time trying to get my attention and feeling apologetic."Dom, I said don't even bother," Malik tells him as I scowl more at him. "Taking her with us will only cause trouble.""Want me to start off burning that face of yours?" I threaten, flashing my blue flames. "Because you are this close to having this plane crash into the sea.""Want to have a go?" Malik tenses up and clenches his jaw."Easy, the both of you." Clayton tries to get between Malik and me.Malik hates me. Being here makes him on edge, but he can't complain to his alpha because I could ride with them to Romania. So, he can't do anything to kick me off the plane. He can try, but that will ma
I closed my eyes, and seconds later, I opened them, frantically panting, my heart beating wildly and sweating."Lippy?" I look up at Camila, who looks pale. "Are you okay?"I continue to pant and remember where I am. Everyone was looking at me, either oddly confused or worried. Kaze, still on my lap, whimpers with concern. I brush my hair back and exhale sharply. We are still on the jet. I rub my face and inwardly curse myself that I dreamt something like that. I thought I died...again.I noticed Dominic had a worried look but did not budge to move because of that one person blocking him. At the same time, Malik and Clayton had their head in my direction with expressions of curiosity."Here, drink some water," Camila hands me a bottle of cold water. I took it from her and immediately drank till it was halfway."Thanks," I wipe my mouth. My heart starts to slow down its pace enough to relax a bit. "How long was I asleep?" I ask."You only shut your eyes for five minutes."Only five?Bu
Experiencing that plane ride with Dominic and his group, I'm starting to dislike air travel. If I'm riding on the same transportation with Leah, I don't know what I will do, but it won't be pretty.We step forward in front of the gate. I feel an overflow of magic surrounding the castle—a protection barrier created by the faes. Though visible to the human eyes, I can see it shimmering.I became hesitant going through the barrier, worried that my presence could trigger an alarm system to alert the elders that a demon had entered the premises."Are we going in?" Camila asked and noticed I hadn't made a step forward."Yeah, give me a minute. There is a force field covering the castle, a barrier. It prevents anything evil from entering.""Master, you are a demon. If you touch the barrier-" Kaze sounds flustered."If anything happens, get ready for me to teleport you two as far away from here. Got it?""Got it," Camila and Kaze say in unison.I took in an intake of the surrounding air and le
With the other hand, I pinch its tiny shirt and lift it at eye level. It was yelling and screaming like mad, swinging tiny fists at me."Let me go, you human!" the Imp squirmed.I study the little thing—my first to see an Imp up close. It has the size of a toddler, stubby in length, with whole almond black eyes with no iris or pupil. The Imp has red skin, two little horns sticking out from the top of his hairless head. He resembles the cartoon character where your subconscious sits on one shoulder while an angel occupies the other.The twins told me how naughty they are; pranking others is what they love to do. They can mimic voices and lure you away from the crowd, making your head go crazy. And this did a good job getting irritated and messing with my head.I don't know how long he will keep wailing his fists in thin air, but I find him adorable. "I said let me go! How can a human catch me?""Hey, do I seem human to you?" I ask.The Imp stopped swinging his little arms and stared at
"I...Uhm..." I shift my eyes at my friend, who shrugs. I exhale. "I walked around and explored the castle a bit." Satu sighs heavily, upset about something I have done. "No one, not even the guest from the outside, is allowed to wander off. You can get lost easily without a guide. I should have told you the rules beforehand." Sounding apologetic. "Oh, no. It's my fault. I shouldn't explore likes it's my house." I say. "Next time, I will ask." "Well, since you understand and apologize. I won't blame you. Part of it is my fault." He flashes a smile revealing tiny fangs on his upper teeth. "Shall we go and meet up with her highness?" "Sure," I look back. "Behave you two." "I'm not the one who got in trouble first," Camila teased; Kaze wheezed a peal of laughter. I glare at the dire wolf as he stops, dropping his head down to the floor. "I'll be back." I grit my teeth, not trying to hide the embarrassment in front of the head butler of the Fae Queen. I bid at them and followed Satu.
"Are you okay, Miss Carter?"Satu pulls me from my train of thoughts, and I smile at him. "I'm good."His ears pull down. "I've heard stories about you.""Oh?" I say, made myself composed about the rumors about me."Don't get offended, I mean," Satu's face turns red. "I heard from the wolves that you were obsessed with Alpha Dominic since you were kids, and you will do anything to keep him away from other possible suitresses. Then they said you left because he has found his mate."I slapped my forehead and let out a groaning sigh. My reputation as the wolfless possessive villain has spread outside the werewolf community. Of course, it's a title I was given, and there is nothing to hide, but I want the gossip about me to stop. It makes my ears itch whenever people talk behind my back because of my past."That was all in the past," I told him as I glanced around at more decorative paintings on the wall and exquisite art pieces. "Plus, I left the pack not because Alpha Dominic found his
"I know..."I lift my eyes and see the little Queen now in her standard size through my lashes.I raise my body as a knot in my heart forms. The Queen has teary eyes but smiling as if she has found someone important to her."My Queen."Queen Bisera raises a hand, preventing Satu from approaching her. "I'm fine," she sniffles as the vines from the tree use a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She thanked them."I know you're not my Lulu," the Queen smiles beautifully. "She disappeared after 500 years. I'd searched for her but had no clue where she had gone. I was curious about what my son said that you obtain light magic powers. Light magic is powerful enough to get rid of the demon magic."Queen Bisera went over to the tree and touched it. "I sense the light magic in you from outside my door. Once you step in and one look, I became emotional as I saw my long-lost friend."I hear the faint voice. She mistook me for her friend because she felt the light magic inside me. I understand the p
I pace around the room Dominic used to stay in when visiting occasionally.My anxiety as a new parent and the need to learn about Camila's curse is crucial.I paused, trying to devise a plan and visit the library's secret archives that only the Elders and their spouses and assistants are allowed.I groaned and ruffled my hair in frustration."Hey, hey, you are going to peel that beautiful head of yours," Dominic stopped me, pulled my hands away, and gently rubbed my head."Nicky..." turning to face him with a desperate look.Dominic smiled and then pulled me in his arms. "I know how frustrated but Michael is fine with his grandma."When Bibi took Michael away, we followed to the main hall and found all the queens surrounding the child. Ingrid had the child in her arms while the other queens played with him, gave him gifts, and loved him like any grandmother would do to spoil their grandchild.Being a half-demon, the queens quickly accepted him. But if they knew who his biological fath
The portal brought everyone to where I had asked the Fairy Chief to take us."Tell me why we are here again?" Camila asks as she gazes up at Castle Luna De Argint."Because Cam, I promised Nick's grandfather that I teach him and his men to fight ferals.""Haven't they fought them before, even before we are born? Why ask you?"I sighed.Camila is becoming antsy right now that we are back at the place where I was accused of murder. When I was taken to be interrogated by the Elders, she held back her anger. Luckily, Clayton was holding her back.Camila had experienced something I went through, and it almost released her inner darkness.I need to do something about her powers before someone gets hurt.Michael squirmed in my arms before going back to Slumberland."Camila, we won't stay here long," I assured her without making her uncomfortable. "The ferals they fought long ago are different. Demir creates these ferals from his magic; they are twice as powerful and dangerous. If the Elders
I follow Dad into his room. He waves his hand and immediately shuts the door and locks it. I can feel the tension in the air as I'm thinking about hearing Saye about Dominic and me having sex right in front of my Dad. He didn't raise me, and I didn't grow up with him, but I'm an adult. I decided to do well in my relationship with Dominic. Even if he knew that his future son-in-law killed me in my past life. Still, I wanted to continue being with him. After all, Dominic was under a spell. I don't blame him for being naive when he was a child and didn't know his birthday gift was cursed. Dad and I just found each other, and having that father-daughter bond is still new to me. I have act natural and accepted him as my father, learning the truth. Is Dad mad I had sex before I married? I'm waiting for Dad to say something, but I can only wait. I took a moment and realized the room design. It's like I stepped into a modern Victorian chamber. A room the size of a house, fancy expensive
Walking hand in hand, I found Dad and the others huddled in a group when their eyes landed on us, curious and suspicious about where Dominic and I had been.Heat rash spread across my face."Your face is red, babe," Dominic says through our private mind link.I glare at him, and he chuckles.I elbowed him in the side, but he was still laughing."Master, why do I smell the sweat and...erotic coming from the two of you?" Saye asks as she and Arlo pull on a smirk.Damn, those sex demons."Oh my god! Did you two finally do it?" Camila squealed excitedly.My face heats up even more.Oh god, this is embarrassing.This awkward situation is worse because my Dad knows I had sex with Dominic. The look in his eyes, I can't tell if he's upset with me or if it is something else, and talking about sex is making things more complicated."Saye, don't make Master uncomfortable," Kaze turns his head as I pat his head for praise.I need to change the subject. I clear my throat. "Anyways, I have somethin
Dominic's tongue twirls playfully in my mouth. I got aroused by the way he was pressing his body against me."Nick, stop," I said in between kisses. "If this continues, we will never leave here."He pulls his lips and looks at me devilishly. "I don't mind. I'm not done savoring your body."Why does he have so much stamina?Oh, right, werewolf.But I'm a half-fox. I should have equal energy as he, but my body feels exhausted and sore. And I trained my body not to get worn out, yet, when it comes to sex, I'm drained.Dominic parted from my lips and lowered himself, kissing my skin. He kissed the side of my thigh as his face reached between my legs. I let out a small moan feeling his hot breath."They are going to wonder where we are.""Hm.""Nick, please don't- AH!" I gasped out as I felt his tongue swirling in me.I spread my legs wider for better access for him. I grabbed his hair as the surge built up inside me."Oh god! I'm getting close," I moan louder and grab his hair to pull clo
I didn't think making love would come to this where Dominic and I became one. Though he hadn't marked me, he wanted to give me the best ceremony, and I couldn't help but fall for him all over again.I played with his hand, measuring the size or counting. I continued like this as we leaned against a tree. We are still naked but fully covered with a blanket I provided with magic. I have myself leaning against his chest.Dominic breathed against my neck and planted a kiss. I giggled and looked at him. "Don't.""Why not?" He asked seductively, kissing the nape of my neck."We've done it four times," I blushed and could recollect how many times I climaxed. And thanks to him, I'm a bit sore.While our lovemaking, Dominic's erection got hard after each release. Now he wanted to continue.Just picturing each time we release got me all blushing from my face down to my naked self. "I can't help myself," Dominic chuckles and kisses my face. "I just love hearing your moan and calling out my name
Dominic and I locked lips as my moan escaped. I pinned him down to the ground, continuously kissing him."Wait, baby," Dominic says through our kiss, trying to get my attention. He lightly pushed me back. "Is it okay to be doing it here? What if your Dad or anyone sees us?"I smirk.It's cute how worried it makes me want him even more. If someone sees us being intimate will cause a disruption. Everyone will know what Dominic and I had done. Surely Dad wouldn't like to see his daughter naked and with a man. He will probably feel uncomfortable and scold me.But I don't want to wait for the ceremony. I want Dominic to mark me now.Every part of my body wants his touch, and between my legs is aching.I snapped my fingers as the entrance to this cave part was sealed with a makeshift wall."Now, no one can interfere," I bent down and captured his lips.His hands stroke my body as things start to get heated.Dominic's tongue slipped into my mouth and danced with mine. I moan and rub against
"Dad, where are you going?""I just want to have a little man-to-man chat with my potential son-in-law," my angry demon lord Dad is making his way to find Dominic."Dad, please stop. This is my issue, not yours.""You're my daughter, and anyone hurting you, I will teach them a lesson. Even that wolf is your mate." Dad announced.After I opened my mouth and complained about Dominic not paying attention to me, Dad had the impression that he wasn't happy.I told him I had to solve my problems with Dominic, but now that he's a parent and wants to protect his little girl, he is on the verge of murdering my mate.I can't convince my dad, who doesn't show but has a temper, not to seek Dominic. How can I calm a Demon Lord?If only Mom is awake.I tugged on his cloak and pulled him. "Dad, this is Dominic, and I own problems. Let me handle it.""And let him ignore the fact that he killed you!"I froze as my heart skipped a beat. "H-How?"Dad frowned and sighed. "Azazel told me."Azazel then it
"Baby, you okay?" Dominic put the robe on me to cover. I swallowed hard and continued to breathe. I looked up at Dominic and smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay." I cup his face and pull him into an embrace. "Nick, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you." "No, I know you would never do something like this." "I don't know what came over me," I pulled away and got off the bed holding the robe. "I felt...I felt that I was myself in the past." "About that, Lippy." I can feel Dominic standing behind me. "I remembered that night. The night you..." I covered my face and turned to face him. "Nick, I'm so sorry. I had no intention of doing that to you, but it was the only way you became mine. I was selfish." Everything has brightened that speck of light at the end of the tunnel. "And about you being reborn, did I-" I cup Dominic's face. "Do think about it. Don't even question it. You were under a spell and didn't mean to kill me." "But I did," he pulled down my hands. "I...killed you, Lippy. How-
