Here's for tonight. Thank you for waiting, lovelies! Thank you for all the gems and comments as well! ♡
LUCY. Althea opened her bedroom and let me in. I placed the tray of food on the round table at the far end before I faced her. "Did you rest?" My eyes scanned her room, and her bed was cluttered with big, old-looking books. She shook her head and pointed to the books on her bed. "I want to make sure I’ll be doing the right thing." "But I thought you needed to rest." "This is rest for me - one with my books and channeling the spirits." She giggled softly while I bit my bottom lip as I nodded my head. "Are you sure about the additional request? And the Alpha still doesn’t know?" She asked. "I’m sure. And yes, he doesn’t know anything." "He might kill me." "He won’t. I will protect you from him." "Are you sure you will defy him if he asks you not to shield me?" "That won’t be the first time I will defy him. But I know you can protect yourself. But I want you to be honest with me, Althea. Am I putting you in danger with my request?" "If you had no plan to unbind yourself, the
GAMMA KINGSTON. I knew something was off when the witch raised an invisible barrier that prohibited us from entering the ruin where she was performing her rituals. And I couldn’t even mindlink my Alpha, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe I was just not familiar with witches and their spells. If my Alpha trusted her, then I should too. But the moment Alpha Stone flinched from his position and anger flashed in his eyes, I knew something went wrong. The Alpha didn’t like what was going on. I began to slam my body against the shield, and soon Blade and the other warriors with us were doing the same thing. We all looked like fucking lunatics trying to crush an invisible wall we couldn’t even see. But nothing we did could shatter it. It was too strong, and even if we all slammed our bodies on it at the same time, it didn’t break. "Put the fucking shield down!" Blade was roaring, shaking the ground as he kept pounding his fists against the barrier while his eyes were fixated on the witch, wh
LUCIEN. 'Father! I found Lucy!' Lucius’ voice dug into my head, and in seconds, I appeared in front of the fiber while still pulling up my pants and buckling them up. I was in the middle of being pleasured, but finding Lucija was more important than my libido right now. "What the fuck?" Lucius snickered beside me, but I ignored him. My eyes were fixated on the glowing sphere showing in the fiber. The north. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought she would go north. I made certain that Lucija was never taught about human geography and that no such topics were ever discussed with her. So when she left, I was sure she would go back to the same place where she grew up, and if she moved, she would just be in the surrounding cities. Now it made sense why I couldn’t find her. Her location was glowing too brightly and had been glowing for some time. She wasn’t suppressing it. She was letting her fire out. I wondered if my daughter wanted to be found. Maybe she needed to be sav
LUCY. Her name is Angel. The Goddess gave me an Angel to counter my demon. Even if she was not a real Angel, she was the closest I could be to heaven, and that was enough to keep my spirit high. The Goddess hadn’t forgotten about me. "What took you so long to come out?" I was not angry at her, but my voice sounded depressed. 'I am the other side of your demon power. When you suppressed it, you suppressed me. And you let it out in full force tonight, and it gave me strength to reach you.’ "I’m sorry. I didn’t know." It was the necklace all along, but what choice do I have? I didn’t want to be found. 'I’m not blaming you, what is important is that I am here now. You can’t have me without the fire, Lucy. You need to learn to embrace fire if you want to keep me." "I understand. But will you just be a part of me, or do I also have a physical wolf? Because there is someone I want you to meet." 'Beast…' She whimpered, and I giggled. 'I’m ready to come out whenever you are.' "Now?"
LUCY. "Mate… You’re mine, Lucija Valerie Foster." Adan’s voice sounded so hungry and sexy that my core throbbed in an instant. Everything I felt for Adan just exploded in full magnitude the moment I finally saw him. When Angel rounded the corner and the wind was blowing against us, an intoxicating scent hit us, and she stumbled forward and fell to the ground. 'Mate!' Angel growled, and I nodded my head at her. 'Do you know who it is?' I asked as my heart thudded like it was about to explode, hoping she would say Adan’s name. 'No. We need to find him.' 'But Adan needs us, Angel. Can we save him first?' 'Yes!' Angel rose on her paws and began running again. 'What if Adan is our mate?' 'What if Adan is not our mate? What if we end up liking our mate? Can we hurt Adan?' I had too many questions, and I had no idea if I wanted answers to them. 'Focus, Lucy! Let’s save Adan first, and we’ll deal with our mate later!' Angel snapped at me. Although she was not saying it, I could feel h
ADAN STONE. I knew what I was getting into when I told Lucien I would go to the underworld. It could lead to my demise, but I feared nothing except not knowing when I would see Lucy again. Lucy might have thought this was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn’t taking my chances on her, especially now that I knew she was my fated mate. Everything was starting to make sense now. Two years ago, Lucy turned eighteen, and I was assuming it was at the point when Beast began acting strange and refused any female, insisting we look for our mate. He felt her. Now that we have her, we’re not letting her out of our sight. I meant it when I told Lucy I would go to the depths of hell for her. And that is actually where I am now. In the blink of an eye, my body was sucked into limbo, and when it stopped, I was fully naked in a hot place, like a sauna. I should be able to tolerate it, but there was something on fire around me that was burning me from the inside. But I refused to let the demons aroun
Note: ***Any conversation with [ ] is in a demon's tongue/language, so Adan will have no idea what the conversation is all about*** LUCY. I didn’t mean to kill the dungeon keeper, but the moment I saw Adan chained up to the wall, rage surged within my body. I wanted to crush everyone around us, and the keeper was the closest thing in my grasp. "Then I’ll keep killing anyone that touches him," I answered nonchalantly as I moved in front of where Adan was seated. Adan wasn’t making any noise while I was dealing with the keepers except when he tried to growl at the other prisoners who were gawking and whistling at me earlier. He was quiet - either he was scared or my mate was fascinated. I was assuming it was the latter. Adan was not the type of man who was easily frightened. "I’m warning you, Lucija. You will face my wrath if…" I didn’t hear the rest of Lucien’s words as sparks ignited from my ankle to every part of my body, centering on my core. Adan’s fingers were skimming ag
ALTHEA. "Oh, Spirits! Blade! I told you I’m not leaving this territory!" I yelled in frustration at him for the hundredth time as he shoved my clothes inside my luggage, and I kept pulling them out. We’re playing a game of tug of war, and up until this moment, no one was winning. He wanted to leave this place as soon as Kingston told us that Lucien had taken Alpha Stone to the underworld, and Lucy had followed them. But before she left, she told Kingston to make sure I was safe because her father would come for me. With the shield up, I thought I would be safer here, but Blade thought otherwise. But what does he know? "You have no say on this one, Althea! We’re leaving! We’ll go to a safer place where the demon lord can’t reach you!" He snapped at me, tugging the last pieces of clothing from my hands before shoving them inside my bag. He zipped it up and threw it by the door, where it landed with a loud thud. "This is my life on the line! Why do you get to decide for me?" "I’m
