Here's for tonight. Hang in there, lovelies! I promise it will be worth it in the end ♡ Don't forget to drop us some votes/gems if you have any to spare for Lucy and Adan! ♡
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
ADAN STONE. "Wrap it up? With you watching? Are you fucking fucked up?" I growled again, my hands coiling into fists. If Lucy were not here, I would be throwing punches at him already. "Lucija, stop me, or I’m going to shred this man into pieces." He hissed at me, his eyes darkening before they blazed red. "Do it then!" I snapped back at him. I knew I could end up dead in seconds, but who the fuck appreciates being disturbed in the middle of having sex? "Can you both calm down?" Lucy let out a loud sigh, making my head snap back at her. "Can you cover yourself!" I growled at her. She was clutching the sheets over her body, but I could still see the roundness of her upper breasts, and I didn’t give a fuck if Lucius was her brother. For all I knew, demons had no concept of incest. "I am covered!" Lucy’s brows furrowed. Lucius flicked his fingers, and soon she had the same bodysuit Lucien gave her yesterday. "Better now?" He mocked me before he shook his head, looking annoyed.
LUCIEN. I didn’t find the witch. And I couldn’t force Stone’s pack members to reveal her whereabouts. Hades had called for me and asked for an explanation of what happened the night that I took Lucija home. Lucius accidentally summoned his name, but he just ignored it. By the time he realized it was a royal son who mentioned his name, the only thing he saw was when Lucija took my hand. But he heard me swear to her that I would never touch Stone’s pack. So even if I wanted to crush them and force the witch’s name out of their mouths, I knew Hades was watching and just waiting for me to make one more mistake. I could feel he didn’t like me at all, especially after that close encounter with him when Lucija’s mother was in my chambers more than two decades ago. I always had to watch my back. I felt like a fucking dog being watched all the time, and I didn’t like it. But I didn’t have a choice. I wanted to gain his favor even if I hated him. Despite being the being god of the underwor
LUCY. My body jolted awake, making my eyes snap open as my heart thudded loudly in my chest. I sat up from lying down with my hands clutching my sheets tightly as I looked around. I’m still in the underworld, and something doesn’t feel right. 'Lucius?' He was my only connection in this place. 'Damn it, Lucija! I’ve been trying to wake you up for an hour now!' He snapped at me, and I knew it had something to do with Adan. 'Where is he? What’s going on?' 'No time to explain! Kosior dungeon, now!' Oh, Goddess! Oh, Goddess! I shoved the blanket off my body and grabbed my robe, wrapping it around me before I closed my eyes and flicked my fingers, hoping against hope that I would end up at the right place. In seconds, I found myself on the stairs that would lead me to Adan’s cell. The smell of blood, sweat, and flesh being burned was swirling around me, making my jaw twitch. I wanted to scream, but I composed myself. I needed to think and act logically, but I swore to the Goddes
LUCIUS. I transported us to Lucija’s chamber, and I helped her put Stone in her bed. I knew she had many questions, but at the moment, she wasn’t asking any. She was busy attending to her mate and it was to my advantage. I didn’t want to tell her anything more at the moment than what she needed to know. "I have to go now. I have other things to do," I told her after a while of watching her clean up Stone’s body. He looked like he was fucking dead to me, but his chest was moving, which meant he was still alive. "But... what if I need you?" Lucija stood up from the bed and faced me. "Then reach out to me. I won’t block my mind." "Do you think Lucien will come back soon?" "I don’t think so. He wants to find the witch, so I’m sure he will search the whole North for her." "Will you let me know if he returns?" "Of course. But what are your plans? Will you return Stone to his cell?" "No. Definitely not. I just want to be prepared when he comes back because I’m sure he will raise he
LUCY. I had removed all traces of blood from almost all parts of his body except those near his wounds and cuts. I didn’t want to touch them, as I didn’t want to wake him up if I ended up hurting him. I wanted him to rest and gain his energy back. I couldn’t explain what I was feeling at the moment. Never in my wildest imagination did I think Adan would end up looking like this. He had always been so strong that I felt no one could hurt him, and seeing him so vulnerable while he slept was breaking my heart. I caused him this. If he didn’t meet me, maybe he was still okay, living like a god in his own world. 'But then he’ll never be this happy.' Angel reminded me. 'Do you think he’s still happy? Maybe he regrets following me here. I don’t understand what I did wrong for him to suffer like this because of me?’ Angel didn’t answer. She must be saving her energy, but I didn’t mind at all. I knew she didn’t have the answer either. I was torn between having Adan around me and sending
ADAN STONE. I grunted in discomfort as my eyes snapped open. Pain coursed from my back to every corner of my body, and it rattled me for a second until I was able to make sure that my walls were still up. I didn’t want Lucy to feel even a tiny bit of the pain her father gave me. "Aargh…" I groaned. I couldn’t roll over and couldn’t lay on my back, but compared to the pain before I fell asleep or passed out, what I had at the moment was bearable. I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to steady my breathing, trying to process everything that had happened when Lucien walked into the dungeon and began to emotionally torture me. He kept telling me that Lucy was bound for greater things and that I would be her weakness. That my slightest pain and discomfort would eventually render Lucy incapable of doing her daily routine. He said Lucy would never do the same thing to me — that she would protect me by taking all the pain herself. Until it dawned on me, he wanted me to control my pain
