Here's a long one for you, lovelies! Enjoy meeting Angel! Thank you for waiting! Don't forget to use your gems before they expired at the end of the month - and hopefully you have some gems to spare for Lucy and Adan. ♡
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
ADAN STONE. I knew what I was getting into when I told Lucien I would go to the underworld. It could lead to my demise, but I feared nothing except not knowing when I would see Lucy again. Lucy might have thought this was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn’t taking my chances on her, especially now that I knew she was my fated mate. Everything was starting to make sense now. Two years ago, Lucy turned eighteen, and I was assuming it was at the point when Beast began acting strange and refused any female, insisting we look for our mate. He felt her. Now that we have her, we’re not letting her out of our sight. I meant it when I told Lucy I would go to the depths of hell for her. And that is actually where I am now. In the blink of an eye, my body was sucked into limbo, and when it stopped, I was fully naked in a hot place, like a sauna. I should be able to tolerate it, but there was something on fire around me that was burning me from the inside. But I refused to let the demons aroun
Note: ***Any conversation with [ ] is in a demon's tongue/language, so Adan will have no idea what the conversation is all about*** LUCY. I didn’t mean to kill the dungeon keeper, but the moment I saw Adan chained up to the wall, rage surged within my body. I wanted to crush everyone around us, and the keeper was the closest thing in my grasp. "Then I’ll keep killing anyone that touches him," I answered nonchalantly as I moved in front of where Adan was seated. Adan wasn’t making any noise while I was dealing with the keepers except when he tried to growl at the other prisoners who were gawking and whistling at me earlier. He was quiet - either he was scared or my mate was fascinated. I was assuming it was the latter. Adan was not the type of man who was easily frightened. "I’m warning you, Lucija. You will face my wrath if…" I didn’t hear the rest of Lucien’s words as sparks ignited from my ankle to every part of my body, centering on my core. Adan’s fingers were skimming ag
ALTHEA. "Oh, Spirits! Blade! I told you I’m not leaving this territory!" I yelled in frustration at him for the hundredth time as he shoved my clothes inside my luggage, and I kept pulling them out. We’re playing a game of tug of war, and up until this moment, no one was winning. He wanted to leave this place as soon as Kingston told us that Lucien had taken Alpha Stone to the underworld, and Lucy had followed them. But before she left, she told Kingston to make sure I was safe because her father would come for me. With the shield up, I thought I would be safer here, but Blade thought otherwise. But what does he know? "You have no say on this one, Althea! We’re leaving! We’ll go to a safer place where the demon lord can’t reach you!" He snapped at me, tugging the last pieces of clothing from my hands before shoving them inside my bag. He zipped it up and threw it by the door, where it landed with a loud thud. "This is my life on the line! Why do you get to decide for me?" "I’m
LUCY. The place felt damp and warm, with no wind blowing at all. I used to be okay in these surroundings, but now I miss the cold wind biting against my skin while I was still in the north. This palace looked dead, but why would I expect more? I trod my way on the usual path that would lead me to Patrea’s stone cottage. She might be a prisoner in this realm, but she was given an option as to what home she would like to have. She told me she had them construct a home that was nearly identical to the one she had in the human realm. She thought she was being clever so it would still feel like home, but it only made her long for her real world. The smell of a freshly cooked home meal whiffed through the air, and I heard my stomach rumbling. My thoughts went to Adan — we both hadn’t eaten dinner, and I was sure he was already hungry by now. It was already almost dawn in the human world, while in this realm, we didn’t have any concept of time. Darkness was everywhere, and the demons and
ADAN STONE. I had no idea how long I’d been sitting in this dark place. I’d seen some of the prisoners being dragged out only to come back with burned skin, making the whole cell smell of burning flesh. If I wasn’t used to smelling dead bodies, including decaying ones, this smell would make me sick to my stomach, like the others here who were throwing up once in a while. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall. I wondered when my turn to be dragged out of here and be burned would happen. I was trying to make myself relax, but I couldn’t help. I had to think of a way out. I didn’t want to regret my action, but this was turning out to be a hopeless case now. "Water!" I snapped my eyes open and grunted a little loudly. I was annoyed now. My throat was fucking dry, and the heat from the ground, combined with sweat trickling down from every part of my body, was causing dehydration. In seconds, something appeared in front of me, and a big bucket of water splashed rig
LUCY. I spent a little more time with Patrea before I bade her goodbye. I wanted to check if my father had left Kalmerus, but I couldn’t reach Lucius’ mind. He was either having orgies or purposefully shutting down his mind from me. And I had no one to ask. I could approach Martin, my father's second-in-command, who served as his butler and beta, but I was sure he would inform my father of my inquiries. So he was not a good option. I just got off the shower and thought maybe I should sleep, but I wanted to see Adan, even just a glimpse of him. I was in my sheer black nightgown that hid nothing at all, and I’d been having the urge to touch myself while thinking of my mate. But a part of me was worried for him. So I sat in the middle of my big bed and crossed my legs while I tried to focus and imagine the Koshior dungeon. If I get this right, I would be able to see what was happening there at the moment. But I couldn’t. I still couldn’t master the ability to see something in anoth
LUCY. Adan was still in the shower, and I decided to make the room cozier. Although the whole mansion was dimly lit and eerie at times, I kept my bedroom lighted up with a big chandelier and spotlights on the sides. I had this bedroom adjusted when I turned sixteen. I wanted my room to feel like a human’s home and nothing like the demon world. And I was glad they didn’t change anything in my room. I clapped my hands twice, and the spotlights flickered before they closed off while the chandelier dimmed. My gaze then fell to the scented, wood-wick candles all around my room. I flicked my fingers again and pointed at the candles that I wanted to be lit, and one by one, the wicks crackled before they lit up. "Wow!" Someone spoke behind me, and his voice startled me a bit. I was not able to control the fire that came out of my finger, and instead of just the candle lighting up, I set the round table on fire. "Whoah! Whoah!" Adan exclaimed as he pulled the towel off his waist and tried t
