AUTHOR'S NOTE
Last Updated:
2024-04-17 19:16:30This is a free chapter and should not cost you any coins.
Hello everyone!
Before I update the next chapter, I just want to let something out. There are few readers who have not commented a single nice thing about this book, and I wonder why they are still reading.
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to choose what they want to read, just as an author has the freedom to shape the story according to their own storyline and vision. For someone to come and leave negative comments just to dampen the mood of the author and spread negativity to other readers is simply disheartening.
I was so over the top and eager to update this book last month, but now I had to force myself to open and continue this book.
I don't expect everyone to like my story. But I wanted to be respected as the writer of my own books.
You don't like where the story is heading, but still trusting the process? Thank you. Please feel free to stay, and we'll navigate this together until the end.
You don't like the characters and their decisions, and you don't like where the story is heading? You think the author is making a mess of her own story, and you don't trust her process at all in her recent books? My question is simple: Why are you still reading my books? Please do us all a favor and move on to books that will bring you joy and that will leave you in awe, and just let me finish my story without your negativity affecting my sanity and the peace of my readers who are enjoying the book. Or if your plan is to stay until the end to prove this book sucks, then feel free to stay, BUT PLEASE don't flood my comments anymore with the same negative comment chapter after chapter. Save it all, and give me the comment you think I deserve once the book is completed. But for now, let me write my own book.
I read books, too. And I have abandoned many that didn't awe me or if I didn't like where it was headed. I simply let go and moved on.
The world is already full of negativity. I write to free my mind from the stories clouding in my head, and I know many of my readers are reading to escape the real world and live in the fantasy that our world cannot provide. Please let us enjoy this world.
I appreciate your readership, but like in any relationship or stage of our lives, if something or someone isn't making you happy or giving you what you think you deserve, there is no shame in leaving rather than building a toxic relationship or environment.
That being said, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who keeps holding my hands as I write my books, whether I make you happy or crush your hearts. You are the very reason I keep showing up to write, even if some hurtful words make me want to stop writing and share my stories.
Much respect to everyone, Cassandra M
P.S. I'm not saying constructive criticism is not a good thing - I appreciate readers who leave me respectful comments correcting my grammar, my spelling, or even the wrong names that would slip from time to time. Or if you think something is wrong with my description, that's fine! This is totally different from the concern in my note today (I just want that to be clear).

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

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
