ALTHEA. Lucy, Lena, and Laira left my room thirty minutes ago, but I was still stuck doing the same thing. I was pacing back and forth in front of my bed, still contemplating what to do next. I knew I should have been thinking about how to start dealing with Lucy’s request to put a shield over the territory of the Mystic Pack, but Blade had been occupying my mind. He told me he would be leaving as soon as he brought me here, but why did he stay? I didn’t want to give him any false hope that I would allow him to claim me because that would never happen. We had no chance of being together. I don’t like him. Yeah, I don’t like him. And I needed to remind him again. I let out a deep sigh before opening my bedroom door and transferring toward his. I was about to knock on his door when it opened and Blade’s huge form came into view. He was leaning his forearm on the door frame, his face void of any emotions as he looked at me as if he was expecting me there already. Of course, this ma
LUCY. "Are we still pretending, Lucy?" Adan asked in a voice void of any emotion. He was giving me the same face that drew me to him — stoic, unreadable, mysterious, and challenging. But would I take the risk and tell him everything? What if he wanted no commitment at all? My heart thudded loudly as I made up my mind. I was never a coward. "I’m not sure what you mean by pretending. The only thing I pretended to be was the meek and weak Omega you saw from time to time. Other than that, all of these are real." A smile slowly tugged on his plump lips, and I swear, if this conversation were not important, I would be kissing him already. "So you like me?" He asked, his brows hiking up. "Why do you think I’m still here? I told myself, that whatever happened after the Omega Feast, I would go. I have wings, I can just fly away. But then…" A wicked smile crawled on my lips as my finger trailed across his chest. "...you happened. And I can’t resist you." I felt something poke at my cor
LUCY. I walked down the stairs straight to Adan’s office. I overslept again, but I was hoping I didn’t miss breakfast yet. I was about to knock, but the door opened to his office, and behind it was my handsome Alpha, who was already smiling at me, making my panties drop and my morning brighter. "Good morning, Alpha Stone," I greeted him, smiling widely as I swayed my body until I got hold of myself. "Good morning, Luna Lucy," he greeted back, making my jaw drop open before I tilted my head around to see if anybody was around us. "Don’t say that, someone might hear." I felt my cheeks burning. He chuckled before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. "I thought you had accepted me already?" My hand clasped over his on my cheek as I scooted my body closer to him. "I do, but I’m not sure if your people will accept an Omega as a Luna." "She can be a demon too, and I will still want her as my Luna, and I’m sure my people will stand by my decision." I smiled at him before snaking
LUCY. Althea opened her bedroom and let me in. I placed the tray of food on the round table at the far end before I faced her. "Did you rest?" My eyes scanned her room, and her bed was cluttered with big, old-looking books. She shook her head and pointed to the books on her bed. "I want to make sure I’ll be doing the right thing." "But I thought you needed to rest." "This is rest for me - one with my books and channeling the spirits." She giggled softly while I bit my bottom lip as I nodded my head. "Are you sure about the additional request? And the Alpha still doesn’t know?" She asked. "I’m sure. And yes, he doesn’t know anything." "He might kill me." "He won’t. I will protect you from him." "Are you sure you will defy him if he asks you not to shield me?" "That won’t be the first time I will defy him. But I know you can protect yourself. But I want you to be honest with me, Althea. Am I putting you in danger with my request?" "If you had no plan to unbind yourself, the
GAMMA KINGSTON. I knew something was off when the witch raised an invisible barrier that prohibited us from entering the ruin where she was performing her rituals. And I couldn’t even mindlink my Alpha, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe I was just not familiar with witches and their spells. If my Alpha trusted her, then I should too. But the moment Alpha Stone flinched from his position and anger flashed in his eyes, I knew something went wrong. The Alpha didn’t like what was going on. I began to slam my body against the shield, and soon Blade and the other warriors with us were doing the same thing. We all looked like fucking lunatics trying to crush an invisible wall we couldn’t even see. But nothing we did could shatter it. It was too strong, and even if we all slammed our bodies on it at the same time, it didn’t break. "Put the fucking shield down!" Blade was roaring, shaking the ground as he kept pounding his fists against the barrier while his eyes were fixated on the witch, wh
LUCIEN. 'Father! I found Lucy!' Lucius’ voice dug into my head, and in seconds, I appeared in front of the fiber while still pulling up my pants and buckling them up. I was in the middle of being pleasured, but finding Lucija was more important than my libido right now. "What the fuck?" Lucius snickered beside me, but I ignored him. My eyes were fixated on the glowing sphere showing in the fiber. The north. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought she would go north. I made certain that Lucija was never taught about human geography and that no such topics were ever discussed with her. So when she left, I was sure she would go back to the same place where she grew up, and if she moved, she would just be in the surrounding cities. Now it made sense why I couldn’t find her. Her location was glowing too brightly and had been glowing for some time. She wasn’t suppressing it. She was letting her fire out. I wondered if my daughter wanted to be found. Maybe she needed to be sav
LUCY. Her name is Angel. The Goddess gave me an Angel to counter my demon. Even if she was not a real Angel, she was the closest I could be to heaven, and that was enough to keep my spirit high. The Goddess hadn’t forgotten about me. "What took you so long to come out?" I was not angry at her, but my voice sounded depressed. 'I am the other side of your demon power. When you suppressed it, you suppressed me. And you let it out in full force tonight, and it gave me strength to reach you.’ "I’m sorry. I didn’t know." It was the necklace all along, but what choice do I have? I didn’t want to be found. 'I’m not blaming you, what is important is that I am here now. You can’t have me without the fire, Lucy. You need to learn to embrace fire if you want to keep me." "I understand. But will you just be a part of me, or do I also have a physical wolf? Because there is someone I want you to meet." 'Beast…' She whimpered, and I giggled. 'I’m ready to come out whenever you are.' "Now?"
LUCY. "Mate… You’re mine, Lucija Valerie Foster." Adan’s voice sounded so hungry and sexy that my core throbbed in an instant. Everything I felt for Adan just exploded in full magnitude the moment I finally saw him. When Angel rounded the corner and the wind was blowing against us, an intoxicating scent hit us, and she stumbled forward and fell to the ground. 'Mate!' Angel growled, and I nodded my head at her. 'Do you know who it is?' I asked as my heart thudded like it was about to explode, hoping she would say Adan’s name. 'No. We need to find him.' 'But Adan needs us, Angel. Can we save him first?' 'Yes!' Angel rose on her paws and began running again. 'What if Adan is our mate?' 'What if Adan is not our mate? What if we end up liking our mate? Can we hurt Adan?' I had too many questions, and I had no idea if I wanted answers to them. 'Focus, Lucy! Let’s save Adan first, and we’ll deal with our mate later!' Angel snapped at me. Although she was not saying it, I could feel h
