Here's the second one for tonight. Don't worry, I didn't forget that Kalmerus is still at war. They'll be back there to help Lucy and Adan :D Thank you for all the lovely words, lovelies. You are overwhelming my werewolf-slash-(good)demon heart. I am on a rest day tomorrow, so I will see you on Saturday. Have a great weekend, and a blessed holy week to those who observe it! ❤
LUCIUS. I didn’t know it was possible to feel this happy despite the fact that my kingdom was under attack. I was so used to taking pride and being boastful of my accomplishments, but this happiness Patrea was giving me was beyond me. For the first time, I got something because it wanted me, not out of force or rebellion. Patrea was alive, and she survived my mark because of one thing: she loved me. And I knew at this point that I could do everything, anything, to make sure she wouldn’t regret braving the darkness that came along with loving me. "Welcome to Kalmerus, my queen," I told her as I stared directly into her amber eyes before they blazed red. And it just made me excited. My hand gripped her jaw tightly as I crushed my lips against her, kissing her brutally hard, and my queen just accepted my kiss wholeheartedly before she snaked her arms around me. But I knew I should stop kissing her, or this might lead to other things, and we had a kingdom to protect. I pulled away
BLADE. Althea kept pacing back and forth. At first, I didn’t mind, but I was beginning to get irritated with the way she kept moving in front of me, and my eyes couldn’t stop following her. If I had my way, I would pull her onto my lap and tie her up around me. "Can you stop doing that?" I spoke in a low voice, as I did my best not to show how her moving around bothered me already. "Waiting for the unknown is killing me. I don’t know how you can just stay still there for a long time like you’re not even breathing." She snapped at me. "Did you forget I’m a mercenary? I can stay here for days and you won’t even know I’m here." "Are you not worried about what’s happening out there?" She asked, ignoring my words. "No. I know they can handle them." But the truth was, I was not worried, not yet, because she was safe here with me. The rest of them were demons. I was sure if they died, they could find ways to revive themselves, but Althea could not, so it was better if we stayed here.
PATREA. I gasped for air as my throat continued to burn, but it didn’t feel painful at all. In fact, the warmth in my throat was soothing. I let my hand trail down my neck as I softly moaned, only to realize that my whole body was burning. My body jolted up, and I sat down. I was floating while the battle continued below me. It took a while before everything registered as to where I was and what was happening. Earlier, I was riding Angel, Lucy’s winged wolf. While Lucy was communicating with me about different ways I could use my new power, something suddenly hit my back. I knew Lucy had placed a protective spell around us, but it looked like the one who fired it used a bigger power than Lucy had, so whatever she used was not enough. Everything happened so fast. Angel’s wings were also hit by fire, and we came crashing down. I tried to put a spell on to protect us from falling, but everything suddenly went dark, and I had no idea what happened next. But here I am now. I tilted
PATREA. ‘Lucius?’ I called for him again and I was already beginning to panic. ‘Here.’ He appeared beside me as a body fell from the top and hit the ground with a loud thud. Arturos’ body was totally deformed, and his head was missing. But his head came crashing down after a few seconds, smashing to the ground as his brain and blood splattered on the demons around that area. My head snapped back to look at Lucius, who was now back in his regular demon form, probably so he wouldn’t tower over me. In his hands was Arturo’s heart. The demons everywhere stopped fighting, and some of them just suddenly disappeared, their bodies crumbling to ashes as they just vanished in the air. "What’s happening?" I asked Lucius. "Those demons were revived by Arturos, on his death, they would come with him." "And those who are still alive?" "They will become our demons." "Does it mean you will rule Athwarth as well?" "We will rule Athwart." He said cockily. "But his heir?" "I have Arturos’ he
KINGDOM OF ATHWART LUCIUS. After the commotion had died down, all of Athwart’s demons on the battlefield were sent to Kalmerus, where my demon guards briefed them on the way I was running my kingdom. While Patrea and I, together with Lucija and Stone, headed back to the tower to check on Althea at Patrea’s request. The two talked alone before Althea agreed to be sent back to the human realm, as Patrea didn’t want her to stay here. And now that Patrea was connected to me, and demon blood was already running in her veins, she would be able to transport back and forth to the human world any time she wanted. It would make it easier for her to visit Althea. After we had said goodbye to everyone and Patrea thanked them for their help, Lucija took everyone back to their territory, while Patrea and I headed to Athwart. If I had my choice, I would be spending the next hours with Patrea alone, but there were things that we couldn’t delay at the moment, and it made me happy that my queen wa
PATREA. How would I tell Lucius I could not bear a child anymore? That after I gave birth to Adora, I tinkered on my uterus to make sure that if Lucien were successful in sexually assaulting me, I would not carry a demon child? I saw Lucius’ eyes, and he was excited when he told me about wanting to have one. I knew from the beginning he was not the father-material type, but something in him changed when Lucy and Adan’s son, Luther, was born. It broke my heart that I would not be able to give it to him, and I had no idea how to tell him. "Then Luther will have two kingdoms to rule." He said when I asked him what if we couldn’t produce a child. But the way he was smiling, I was sure he thought it was just a theoretical question. Lucius then captured my lips and began kissing me softly. It took a while before I was able to compose myself and push any negative thoughts out of my head. My arms coiled around his neck, and I began kissing him back. I felt his hand squeeze my ass, and I
PATREA. After the visit from the God of the Underworld, Lucius and I checked on the Athwart demons that were brought to Kalmerus. He spoke with all of them for a while, with him holding my hand the whole time. It felt natural to me, but I could see some demons who kept glancing at our entwined hands. They were not used to affection. I’d been in this realm for many decades, and I had yet to see demons holding hands. The closest I saw to affection was during sexual interaction, but after that, they would act as if nothing intimate had transpired. But it was as expected of them. So this was totally something new for them. And for Lucius. But he looked like he was comfortable holding my hand, and I reveled in it, enjoying the gentle squeeze he would give me from time to time. The next few hours were spent going back and forth everywhere in the tower and to what I refer to as the barracks of demons. By the time Lucius was satisfied with checking everything, I was already exhausted.
LUCIUS.I thought Patrea just wanted me to experience how it felt to fall asleep. I didn’t know she had other plans in mind. But I wasn’t complaining. In fact, I was thankful for the experience she gave me. She knew all the right ways to make me feel important.Patrea let me fall asleep, only to wake me up with my hard cock in her mouth.I already knew from the very beginning that she was different and that I would be lucky to have her. And after everything that happened today, including my cock in her mouth, it only proved that I was right — I had a very special female in my arms that no other demons were lucky enough to have."Are you not going to stop nibbling my neck?" Patrea was giggling as my nose and lips continued to nuzzle and suck her skin. "I can stay here for a long time, just doing this.""You can’t slack off, you have two kingdoms to rule and protect now.""Do I?" I pulled away from her neck as a devil’s smirk tugged at my mouth. "If I have to choose, this is the only o
