LUCY. A smile curled on my lips while my hold on Beast tightened as he sprang forward into the vast forest. The smell of earth and my hair dancing in the wind were exhilarating. It had been far too long since I felt the wind slapping on my skin with this intensity. I miss my demon wings, but this was the next best thing — having to ride on Beast’s back. I had no idea where he was taking me, but he’d been running for a long time now. Not that I mind; anywhere with him was just perfect. Beast was walking uphill, and I could tell we were getting too far away and isolated. It would be a good thing if this was the case, so I could finally tell him my secret without anyone overhearing us. The moment he decided where he wanted to be, he stopped and lowered himself to the ground, and I pulled my body up and slid down his back. " Wasn’t it fun?" I asked him as I cupped his jaw, and he began licking me. I was half expecting Adan to surge forward, but it didn’t happen. Instead, Beast was g

ADAN STONE. We went down the hill with Lucy on Beast and went back to the packhouse right away. My Gamma and Beta were waiting for us at the top of the steps, but I had already informed them that Lucy was safe. But I knew I had to tell them more. If Lucy was in danger, having my trusted men know about it was fair play. What could I do if I was up against a demon prince? Or worse, the whole underworld? Lucy taught me an important lesson: never accept an invitation or volunteer to visit the underworld because once there, I could not leave anymore unless they allowed me to. I was excited when I saw her in her demon form, but what she told me sent shivers down my spine. This was real now. I was hooking up with a she-devil. And if Lucy wanted, she could simply set me up on fire, and then I’m a goner. But she was the least of my worries. Her father was looking for her, and the fact that she ran away a day before the ritual that would turn her into a full-fledged she-demon meant that h

LUCY. "More?" I had just finished a cup of bitter tea, and Lena gave me another one. "Yes, and there’s another one after." She chuckled before she sipped the tea in her own cup. "Oh Goddess, are you secretly trying to kill me? Can I have what you’re drinking? That one smells nice, while this one…" "Do you want your wolf out or not?" Laira asked, her brows hiking up, but I could see she was suppressing a smile from crossing her face. "Drink that one and the last one, and I’ll give you a chocolate cake. Dark chocolate that melts in your mouth… Hmmm…" Lena was teasing me, as she sucked on the small spoon she used to stir her tea, and she was doing it as if it were something else she was sucking. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms against my chest like a spoiled kid while my lips extended into a pout. "Not fair. Three cups of tea from hell for just a slice of cake." Lena was about to say something, but she was cut off by another voice. "Is Lucy complaining?" The females straig

ADAN STONE. Three days went by swiftly, and I’ve been on high alert ever since Lucy accidentally made her palm glow red with fire. I was certain Lucien would appear out of nowhere, but so far, it has been calm, which is making me more uneasy. The censor cameras, which had been custom-built to monitor body temperature similar to Lucy’s, had already been installed in every border, including the middle of the forest, which was connected to the neutral forest, and around the packhouse. I had never splurged my own money on something like this, but I didn’t even hesitate to open my bank account this time. All for her. I had never left Lucy alone, and in cases where I had to be away, my Beta or Gamma would be with her. And two days ago, my parents moved to the packhouse under the pretense that my mother wanted to spend time with her, but in reality, I sought help from Dad. Two Alphas could protect her better than one. I laid out everything I knew about her, and if there was any doubt in

LUCY.Althea and Blade had already left the dining area and gone to the seating room, leaving me and Adan at the table. The Omegas were back inside the packhouse and had begun clearing up the dining table."I’ll take Althea to a guest room," I told Adan as I stood up from my seat. Adan pushed his chair back and stood up as well, and in just a few seconds, his arms were around me as he pulled me closer to him. "Wait for Lena. She’s coming with you.""You don’t trust I can be a good host?" I asked, but I already knew why he wanted Lena with me.His hand tucked the stray hairs behind my ear before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. "I don’t trust anyone when it comes to you, Lucy.""But we need to trust Althea if we want her help.""I know. But just let me be cautious. I never had supernaturals, aside from shifters, around me, and it is making me uneasy that you can just slip away or be taken away without me knowing."I nodded my head as I hooked my arms around his neck, and a sm
