Here's for tonight. Thank you for waiting. Dark magic/witches, like the demon world, is not my forte so please be patient with me as I navigate us through this part. Thank you for all the comments and gems, please keep them coming. đ„
EPILOGUE 2 BLAIR.I showed Alonso my daggerâa 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 didnât 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. âOh, shoot!â His dagger slashed into my arm as he was backing away. It was painful, but it was just a small cut. Nothing that wouldnât heal. He was about to approach me, but I held my hand to stop him. âMoved back. Youâll pay for cutting me.â I said, giggling, and before I realized what I was doing, I threw the dagger at him. Like Iâd done twice today, and I didnât 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 Blastâs 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. âAnd you were saying?â 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 itâd 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. âSorry, I spaced out,â I added.âI said Blair is doing great in the Alpha camp. It didnât matter that she was the only female there. She could make all th
6 YEARS AFTER BLAIRâS BIRTH.âLuna AltheaâŠâ The Omegaâs voice reached my head, and my heart dropped. She was panicking, and I could tell she was running.âWhere are you?â 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. âWhat happened?â Blade asked as he stood behind me. He was holding Blast, our two-year-old son, in his arms. We were celebrating Blairâs 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 Blairâs 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.âI turned my back to her for a few seconds, and when I looked back, she was already outside the door. I didnât hear her open the sliding door. I kne
ALTHEA.âIt is no longer in our control, Althea. But Iâm keeping my hope that one day, Elliot will realize we are not the enemy.âAlthea didnât 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. âShall we call it a night, Alpha?ââHmmm⊠The night is young. Would you like to go somewhere with me?ââYou know I will go anywhere you lead. What do you have in mind?âMy eyes dilated before a smile graced my face. I licked my upper lip before I leaned down, my mouth brushing against her ear. âRage wanted to take control tonight. If you let himâŠâShe pulled away from hugging me, and I always laughed out loud at the way her eyes squinted and her lips pouted. âRage or you? Youâre always using his nameâŠââMy Luna knows me so well,â I chuckled before pressing my forehead against her. She was so sho
BLADE.âYou need to be careful with your words, Blade. Heâs too young to be traumatized.â Althea said. âIâll try my bestâŠâ 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 childrenâs welfare. She had built a womenâs 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 womenâs 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
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 demonâs presence around his territory. He used Luciusâ body temperature as he was the closest to what Alastor wasâa full royal demon. But we have not detected anything up until today. Either it didnât work for Alastor, or he was really nowhere around us. We tried to live normally. Blair hadnât 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
