Only 1 chapter but longer one. I'm having a hard time typing (so might have more error than usual) as I slept on my hand when I took a nap before lunch. It was in a bent position under my head while I slept, and it's painful, but it's on a warm compress now, so hopefully the pain will go away soon. :) There's only one more event/scene and the epilogue left (so there could be another 2-3 chapters), and I'll try to finish that by tomorrow, so if it's late, you know why;) Thank you for all the reviews, lovelies! I wasn't expecting it to grow that much! I hope I can give more away, but we will see! :)
BLOOD MOON PACK - Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa’s Territory. FIVE YEARS FROM THE LAST CHAPTER. ADAN STONE. Amara Grace, my only niece, was celebrating her 18th birthday, and I took my whole family with me and went to the South, which we had done at least once or twice a year in the last ten years. Aside from visiting my family that had relocated to the South, it was also a way for Lucy to visit the graves of her parents. Aeon and Alexa were generous enough to give Everly a proper burial when she died, and they could not locate Lucy. On the first occasion that Lucy visited her mother’s grave, Alexa also gave her a big surprise. She took Diego’s belongings that she saved from Lucy’s old house and told Lucy that the empty space that was opened beside Everly’s would be given officially to Diego. And since we no longer had his body, Alexa thought burying some of his things would still count. So that Lucy would have a place to visit both her parents. I never saw Lucy cry so hard except t
MYSTIC RIDGE DANCE CONCERT. LUCY. My eyes welled up with tears as I clapped my hands together and stood up, together with everyone else in this big auditorium, giving the dance performers a standing ovation. My five-year-old daughter, Luciana Aila, or Lily, was among the pups dancing in the finale for today’s performance. And seeing her enjoy her dance with the pups who were raised by the orphanage made me feel too many emotions. Ten years ago, I found myself on stage dancing with almost nothing covering my body, alongside some of the omegas that were abandoned and raised in orphanages throughout the North. It was an experience I would not wish for anyone. And I’ve been fighting for years to put an end to this. We might not have succeeded in abolishing the Omega Feast yet, but I would make sure that these pups under my care would never have to go through the Omega Feast. I would make sure that despite being abandoned or unwanted, they would live their lives to the fullest and be
Author's Note: February 23, 2023 Hello, lovelies! This is Book 2 of the INTO THE DARKNESS Saga and will feature Lucius and Patrea. If you haven't finished Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon, I highly suggest you finish it first, as I will not be explaining how they got to this point. I'll pick up where they left off in Book 1 and move forward with only flashbacks to some important details. Otherwise, you may continue reading, and I hope you will enjoy this one as well. Thank you for giving their story a chance! ❤ xoxo, Cassandra M P.S. I will announce the winner of the giveaways either tomorrow or on Saturday.
PATREA. I was naked. Blood was trailing down my thighs, but I ignored it, even if the pain was coursing through my whole body. My feet were tired from running, and my chest was heaving from panting, but I kept springing forward. I had no idea what creature was running after me, but I knew I needed to get away. "Aaaaah!" I screamed when my body fell into a black hole, and my stomach churned as I tried to grab something to hold on to. But there was nothing. I was falling endlessly, and I just wished for my body to crash somewhere, even if it meant death. Death was better than not knowing when the falling would end. "Patrea! Patrea!" I heard a female’s voice calling for me, making me force my eyes to snap open. I found myself staring into the dark purple eyes of my granddaughter. "You’re having another bad dream..." Althea, my eighteen-year-old granddaughter, helped me sit up from lying down before she took a glass of water from my bedside table and gave it to me. I remained si
LUCIUS. I hid my aura and made myself invisible in the eyes of all the adults in this dining hall before I sat on the empty small chair at the kids’ table. The kids were able to see me, and since the adults were conversing on their own, they had no idea I was already having fun with their kids as they engaged me in their conversation. Ever since Lucija became the Luna of the Mystic Pack, Stone’s whole family has learned to accept me as part of theirs. In the beginning, I could feel the awkwardness and the uneasiness in the air whenever I would appear, but after seeing me too many times already within the last six months, they were getting used to my presence. I get invited to lunch and dinners, which I never decline, as long as Patrea is not there. I didn’t tell anyone I had no palate. That the food just melted on my tongue, and I had no idea what sweet, sour, or spicy tasted like. When it came to taste, all I could taste were the females I licked and sucked. And I was sure food
PATREA. "Let me stay with you and be a part of your daily routine for three weeks - which means I will live in your house and stay in your bedroom." My eyes widened before a soft chuckle escaped my lips. "Is this some kind of joke?" "I don’t joke, Patrea." The seriousness on his face immediately wiped the smile off my face. "You’re serious." "I don’t make deals as some kind of joke." He looked annoyed. "I’m not sure why you think this will work. I just got off from the underworld. For the last six months, I’ve been trying my best not to think of that part of my life, but I wasn’t succeeding. Everywhere I turn, it reminds me of that place. Even plants remind me of that place. I always compare." I couldn’t stop blabbing. "There are no plants as green as these in the underworld. And it’s colder here, the sounds are from cars, and not fireballs being thrown at each other... and the creatures here appear to be less frightening. I can’t stop seeing the difference.'' "Enough…" Lucius
LUCIUS. "I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath." I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be uncomfortable already. I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having a landslide tonight. "And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk." "I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk." "Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too relaxed for a king?" "Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that you put to work on your behalf." "So you have hundreds of trusted men?" "Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead because he trusted me." "And tell me why I should trust you after you said t
PATREA. "I don’t think I’ve seen you in your demon form. What do you look like?" "For someone who wants to forget the underworld, it’s weird you want to know more about my demon side." He stated this without opening his eyes, his face still void of any emotions. Lucien was handsome, and so was Guillermo, but I think Lucius, despite the constant presence of a scowl on his face, was far better looking than them. "This human face you have, did you choose that, or do you automatically have that like shifters? They have human form and wolf form, but they can’t choose how they look." "Aren’t you a curious little witch?" His eyes snapped open, and he tilted his head in my direction, making our gazes meet. And his eyes just hypnotized me. It might be some charm that he had that made me relax around him. I dropped my gaze, and it landed on his chest, which was very prominent on the tight shirt he had on him. I could see his erect nipple. Spirits! I felt like a cougar at the moment. Bu
