Here's for tonight. Thank you for waiting! Thank you for all the gems and comments, please keep them coming! 💖
BLADE. Rage was quiet the whole time he was running until we headed toward the end of the university, where I knew the old library stood. He growled loudly as he sped up in that direction. ‘Did you smell her?’ I asked, hoping he would answer me this time. ‘Yes! Her scent was getting stronger.’ He answered at the exact moment an emotion crossed my chest. I was worried since we realized Alas and Alastor were the same person, but I tried to block off any of my feelings so I could freely feel Althea’s emotions if she decided to lower her walls. And she finally did, and it also meant she was nearby. I could sense her fear, and it made me restless. And I had no fucking idea how I would tell the demons floating around me about it. They had been disappearing and appearing from time to time. I was guessing they were looking for her, too, by checking all the other places Rage couldn’t get into. Rage went up the steps of the old library, and I felt the four of them above me. They were al
KING LUCIUS OF KALMERUS. I felt useless at the moment because I couldn’t find Althea. But even the power of the kings of the underworld had limitations in the human realm. It was the reason it took my father, the former king of Kalmerus, two years to find Lucija. So what was my guarantee that I could find Althea in seconds if Alastor took her? I loathed that I couldn’t do anything. “I could feel her witch aura! It means she used a spell. She’s in danger!” Patrea stated the moment we entered the old building, and she was right — Althea was indeed in danger because I could feel a strong demon aura in this place. I kept my mouth shut but kept my senses open. I just needed to hear a heartbeat so I could locate them, but even before I did, I felt a prick from one of my coins. I willed for my body to be sucked into limbo, and I appeared exactly where Althea was. I came on time as Alastor sank his demon fangs into Althea’s neck. A hiss escaped my throat as a loud growl from Blade e
LUNA LUCY. “I heard him, but I want to make sure nothing will happen in a couple of hours or so,” I answered him. “Luna,” Blade’s Beta Female spoke, and I tilted my head up to look at her. Her eyes were puffy, and I was sure she was the one crying hard earlier. “I can call the infirmary for a request for a blood transfusion in case she loses too much blood. But I don’t know her blood type.” I looked at Patrea, and she shook her head as well. “I don’t know. I know mine, but…” She didn’t continue, but I knew what she didn’t want to say: that Althea and her having the same blood type was a 50/50 chance as they were not related. “Blood transfusions take time,” Adan said. “It is faster if we can have her drink blood instead. I suggest Blade’s blood. It’s the way of the wolves, but I am not sure how it is for witches.” “Witches drink blood, too,” Lucius said. “Not light witches. I do now because I’m part demon. This is a dark act because blood would strengthen the power of the witch,

I will try to be subtle, but if this triggers you, you may skip the part starting with ***** until another set of ***** marks the end of the triggering part. ALTHEA. Blade came for me. But I was terrified that he was already too late and that I was already on my way to death. Alas bit me, and I had no idea how far his demon fangs went into my skin or if his venom reached my bloodstream. All I knew was that I felt too much pain in my neck, and then, after a while, I felt my body floating. And then nothing. I couldn’t see or feel anything anymore. There was just darkness. And his voice. “No! No! No! Please no…” “He marked her... She will die...” “Please don’t let her die! I will do everything! Just don’t let her die!” “It’s okay, baby. I will understand if you end up falling in love with him. I can take it. Just don’t die. You are free to love him… It’s okay. I won’t be upset. I won’t be angry. I won’t run awa
BLADE. “If they start blaming you, I will cast them out of our packhouse and our territory.” I told her as I wiped the tears from her cheeks with my thumb. “You will?” “I will do that. Should I let them come here?” I asked. “You’re naked, Blade.” “I didn’t even notice.” I chuckled softly. “Lucy and Patrea will see you.” I wanted to tell her they had seen me naked, not just today but the other times that I shifted into my wolf and shifted back to my human, but I didn’t want to argue with her. I knew where she was coming from, as I would never want Lucius, Stone, or any males to see her naked. “I can put clothes on, and I can change yours too, but would you like a bath?” She initially nodded but then changed her mind and shook her head. “Maybe later. I don’t want to keep them waiting. Maybe they will get bored.” “This is about you, Althea. I can tell them you’re okay and want to rest. We will meet them later.” “Do you think it’s okay?” “Yes. I know they want to see you, bu
BLADE. “I couldn’t wait to be ruined, old man….” Althea’s sultry voice was the last straw before my restraint snapped. I crashed my mouth into hers before I removed us from the bathtub and hoisted her body up, letting her legs straddle my face as I ate her throbbing pussy while standing. Her legs were snaked around my neck as her hand held onto my head, and the other was on the wall to balance her weight. Everything happened so fast the moment I finally let go of my control, and my little witch took it all in without any complaints. For every hard pounding and gripping, Althea would meowl in my arms until she screamed my name and her way into her orgasm. But never once did she stopped me from fucking her this way. If anything, she was giving back the same intensity and fire I was giving her. And despite my room being soundproof, I was sure someone had heard us with the way she was screaming my name and the unstoppable growls erupting from my throat. In the end, she cast a sp
BLADE.“She doesn’t love him!” I growled as my eyes dilated before I lunged at Lucius. I couldn’t take what he said, even if I myself had thought of that to keep her alive. But the possibility that she was in love with him was such a dagger to my heart that I could not control my outburst. I knew Althea loved me, but what if she felt the same way for him and was just not aware of it?A powerful force knocked me off even before I was able to reach Lucius, but instead of my body being slammed into a wall or somewhere, I floated as if I were in an invisible bubble while everyone around me was staring at me. And before any words could come out from any of us, the adjoining door opened, and my very naked Althea stood there holding the doorknob, her eyes widening in shock as she stared at me.“Fuck!” I growled at her naked state, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t get out of where I was.Althea was covered up in seconds, wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt. I had no idea who among them c
ALTHEA. “Can you take it off?” Blade asked as we continued walking. “I can.” I showed him, but I put it back on right away. “I want to wear it. I think Alas was trying to enchant or hypnotize me at the library, but it didn’t work because of this.” He stopped walking and tugged on my hand, forcing me to stop and face him. “What were you doing with him at the library?” I bit my bottom lip as I shifted my balance back and forth between my two feet. “He asked me to check my manual, and he showed me almost everything we answered was wrong. I didn’t want to submit it to my professor with the wrong answers, so I agreed to meet with him at the library.” “Wrong answer? Even if I helped you with it? You didn’t trust the answers we came up with?” “Please don’t be upset. Hear me out first!” I snapped at him. “I’m not even raising my voice. Explain then.” “He changed the answers. How would I know he’s not human? When I was redoing it at the library, I realized that the method and computati
