All Chapters of The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

SOLANA The moon goddess undoubtedly has a weird sense of humor. Pairing Hawke with Kamala was some serious crazy work. As Roman and I headed back towards our home, our fingers entwined, he seemed more quiet than usual. I had been surprised when he'd suddenly told me it's best if we headed back home."About your question from earlier..." Roman suddenly said, and I perked up, my heart rate spiking."Aren't you scared that I might be way worse than you think I am?" He said, and my throat went dry."I know who you are—"He stopped moving, and I stiffened. "Do you?" My husband asked, his expression neutral.He stared at our entwined fingers, running the pad of his thumb over my knuckles."I have blood on my hands, Solana. I never claimed to be a saint. I told you already...most people are afraid of me. And so, they hunt me in their tens and hundreds. They always end up dead because they are no match for me," he spoke softly, almost like he was making a love confession.His gaze met

ROMAN A cold splash of water to the face jerked me awake from a slumber I could not remember falling into. My mouth felt dry, my head throbbing so badly it made me nauseous. I tried to move my hands but found that they were shackled to my chair. Alarmed, I jerked my head up, my heart pounding faster. A cruel-looking member of the Guard sat directly opposite me."Welcome back, murderer," he hissed, and then he slapped me across the face with all of his might. I tasted blood in my mouth from where my teeth had cut into my flesh.Nonetheless, I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. So, I schooled my expression and looked him dead in the eyes."Will that be enough to express your frustration?" I asked calmly. Rage flashed in his eyes, and then for the next few seconds, he slapped me until his palm turned red.Cerberon protested in anger, threatening to surge to the surface. But I didn't want to disappoint my wife. She must be hurt enough already. Gods, this

[A WHILE AGO]NIGEL The pain hit me without warning. One moment I was heading towards the room where Selene was being held. The next, I was doubled over, clutching at my abdomen. It felt as though I was being stabbed and prodded with a red-hot knife. I coughed up blood, sinking to my knees with my forehead pressed against the floor."Nigel?" I heard a feminine voice say. But I couldn't bring myself to look up, I collapsed sideways with a groan, curling tighter on my side.I heard the soft patter of hurried footsteps, followed by the smell of peaches. It was her. Tara.Her face loomed above mine, her beautiful features creased with concern."What's wrong? Is it your stomach—"Before she could complete her statement, I coughed up more blood, writhing in agony."Shit, I'm going to take a peek, is that okay?" She whispered, and I nodded weakly.Her trembling hands lifted my shirt urgently, and then she froze. "Oh goddess!! What is this?" She gasped, and I squeezed my eyes shut."Am

SOLANA I blinked slowly, the sting in my wrists sharpening as sensation crept back into my limbs. Rough rope bit into my skin. My hands were tied behind me, my ankles bound tight. Whoever had dragged me here hadn't bothered with comfort. Not that I expected it. Still, they had been foolish enough to underestimate the possibility that an ordinary rope couldn't keep me bound. The place reeked of incense and blood.I knew this place. It was Elric's sacred basement.Being back here—back in his territory—filled me with a familiar, ugly disgust. But it didn't come with fear anymore. I was done cowering.Footsteps echoed from outside the door. Then the door creaked open."Well," Elric drawled, his voice dripping with amusement, "would you look at that?”I didn't lift my head."My little mutt," he continued mockingly. "You always did have a talent for walking straight into traps."He crouched in front of me and tilted my chin up roughly, forcing me to look at him.His eyes were exact

TARA "Nigel? Wake up," I whispered, shaking him. He remained unconscious, his face serene. Sighing, I looked around the underground space. The others were still motionless. I wasn't sure when Zamora would return. Therefore, I needed to do something as quickly as possible. Sneaking out to follow my best friend had happened on a whim. At least, my instincts were right.Taking a deep breath, I reached for the divine energy inside of me, releasing a strong wave of restoring energy. It always took a lot out of me. This time was no different. Everyone began to stir, and I leaned forward, trying to catch my breath, my head spinning.Nigel opened his beautiful brown eyes, and they widened at the sight of me. I flashed him a cocky smile and parted my lips to say something sarcastic, but my body was exhausted. He gasped, lunging to catch me before I could hit the ground."Tara, what are you—no, how did you get here?" He asked, his brows furrowed in concern. I sucked in a deep breath, his
