005 - This Mess

ALTHEA.

He was so close. Too close, I wanted to kiss him. Something was really wrong with me.

This pairing was impossible from the very beginning. 

He was too old for me. He has an impossible temper. He’s a werewolf. And he was still in love with his mate.

My hands went to clutch his hand that was holding my chin, taking it off my face as I dropped my gaze away from him, breaking the magic between us.

“The food will get cold if we keep it waiting,” I said in a soft voice. I didn’t want to fight him anymore. 

Having him too close was making me weak. This was not a good sign. He was making me vulnerable. 

“Right. Let’s eat. I’m famished.”

The last two words came out as if he growled them lowly, and my traitorous core clenched at the sexiness of his voice.

It was a struggle to stay still while sitting in front of him, but I survived dinner without snapping at him. And he gave me back the same courtesy. We were both civil, but I could tell he was as uncomfortable as I was.

But at least the dinner was peaceful.

We talked about what I knew about the demon world and the reason why he was sent here to look for my mother. 

But since she was gone, Blade thought I was the next best thing. 

I wanted to tell him that although I knew many things about the demon realm, I was not an expert in spells and magic, but I also didn’t want him to know that. He said I was too young, and admitting that I was not a high witch yet would just make me look weaker in his eyes. So I kept my tough facade, pretending I knew what I was doing.

After that conversation, I was expecting he would talk about his mate and why he wanted a witch to reach out to her. But it never came. 

There were also many things I wanted to ask him about us and the mate bond he was saying, but he seemed not interested, so I didn’t ask anything. 

After dinner, he said goodnight and was about to make his way out when I found myself offering the extra room in the house. 

Again, something must be wrong with me because I kept doing things that I knew were totally wrong.

I gave him my old room while I stayed in my mother’s room, which I began occupying after her death. The bed was small for his frame, but I thought it was better than being out in the cold. 

I sat in my bed, holding the biggest blanket I could find, since I knew nothing was in his room.

But instead of going to him right away, I took my time contemplating things.

He did say his first mate died five years ago. So, if I were also his mate, what am I then? A replacement?

My shoulders sagged as I let out a deep breath. So much for thinking that I would find someone who would love me like the ones I read in romance novels. 

Maybe true love doesn’t exist because all I was given was a mate bond, and to make matters worse, I was just a fill-in. I would never have him if the first one didn’t die. So there was nothing special there. But even with that bond, he still didn’t want me.

Maybe this was the perfect time to meet other people.

Or I would grow old alone.

I thought I was okay with that — just reading novels and being happily in love with the characters I loved. But meeting Blade made me realize how many things I was missing. 

I liked the warmth that his body was giving me and the security I felt whenever he was around. If he couldn’t give that to me because I was too young for him or because I was not his original mate, then maybe I should find someone else to give me the warmth and attention I was craving.

Maybe accepting his offer to go to the Mystic Pack is the right choice. It would open many opportunities for me. I could try, and I could always return here if I fail.

I made up my mind to tell him I would go with him. 

I stood up, and with the blanket in my hands, I went to his room. 

I knocked three times, and when he didn’t answer, I pushed the door to his bedroom open, only to be left frozen in my spot. 

Blade looked at me while my mouth hung open. A few seconds after that, something spurted out of his hard cock that he was holding. 

Did he just masturbate in my bedroom?

My eyes darted from his massive dick to the floor, where the drip of his cum fell.

He chuckled. “I will clean it up.”

“How could you?” I asked, still dumbfounded.

“You’re the one who didn’t knock.”

“It’s my home!” I shrieked.

“I’m a fucking man! I have a libido!” He snapped back at me before he pulled up his pants and buckled them up. He then grabbed the pillow, taking out its case before swiping the floor clean with it.

My mouth hung open more as my eyes rounded in shock. “You did not wipe it with my pillowcase!”

“I just did.”

“You’re disgusting!”

“Just throw it in the machine and wash it!”

“I don’t have a washing machine!”

“Use your magic to clean it, then!”

“You go wash that on your own!” I yelled at him, and I felt my face burning in anger. I felt violated, although I was the one who entered his room without notice. 

A smug smirk formed on his lips before he extended his arm, handing me the stained pillowcase and making me move backward. 

“I jerked off thinking of you and came when I saw you by the door. So it’s your fault that I made a mess here.”

“Bastard!” I hissed as I threw the blanket on his face before leaving his room, slamming the door on my way out, and going directly to my bedroom.

I was sure my face was so red from embarrassment.

  • BEYOND THE DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Witch   Epilogue 2 & 3 - Blair

    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

  • BEYOND THE DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Witch   137 - Future Ranked Wolves

    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
