Chapter 93


    093 – You’re Not Going To Die On Me, Right?


    LUCY.


    I was still pissed off that my time with Adan was cut off just because of this nonsense. I


    had no idea how long I could tolerate this. Father obviously had no idea what he was


    doing.


    He was trying to scare me off, but every time I told him I would not take the throne, he


    would back down and try to calm me down.


    There were things hidden from me that I


    knew I had to be careful of because thest


    Enter title…


    thing I wanted was to be sacrificed by my


    own father.


    I would never bow down to death – not


    after I found Adan. Not after I knew what I wanted with my life. I had always thought my


    mate could save me from the darkness, but the truth was, nothing could save me but


    myself. But Adan, my Adan, was my biggest driving force to keep this fight going. If he


    didn’t exist, I would probably let them


    control me. But I would not back down now.


    I would be the Luna of the Mystic Pack, not


    the ruler of Kalmerus.


    My annoyance was also heightened by the


    fact that I was not able to please my mate


    back. Of all the times of the day that


    Guillermo would arrive, why did he appear


    when I was in the middle of sex?


    I wondered if I would be able to revisit Adan. Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I knew now what I should do. The only thing was, would I be able to pull it off again?


    Also, something was off with him. I felt like he knew too well. He knew the right ways to


    touch me, and he was looking at me the same way he would always look at me. It felt


    like he knew I was his.


    Did he get his memory back? Or was it the familiarity between us that made him look


    and touch me that way?


    I needed an answer, and I would demand it. ” Lucius, in my chamber if you’re free.’


    Lucius appeared as soon as I was finished sending him a message. His face was


    scowling, letting me know things didn’t go. well between them after I left the throne.


    hall. But what should I expect? Lucius and Guillermo, despite being brothers and


    demons, were as opposite as North and


    South.


    “Fuck!” He grunted. “If only I knew how to fucking kill both of them with my own


    hands, they’d be gone now.”


    “Are you saying you have no idea how to kill


    them, yet you are forming a n for the cleansing? What will happen then?” I asked


    sarcastically.


    “I can’t do it alone. That’s why I need you there. Just fucking trust me.”


    “Really?”


    “Is it not enough I’m giving you favors to keep you going?”


    “But you’re still keeping me in the dark.


    What are you afraid of? That I will back out.


    when I realize this is all a scam?”


    “What the fuck? Scam? You think I went to great lengths to send you to the human realm


    as part of a ruse?”


    “Can you tell me why you sent me then?”


    “I want you to see what you’ve been missing while you’re here. I’m fucking sure seeing


    Stone woke up something in there!” He pointed at my chest, but he didn’t touch me.


    “Right? You wanted to get out of here by any means! Alive! Am I right? So help me help


    you! Because at the end of the day, your win is my win!”


    “Did Adan get his memory back? Don’t


    fucking lie to me because I know the eyes I was looking at!” I went directly to what I


    wanted to know.


    He hissed as he brushed his hand over his


    hair. A dark haze appeared, engulfing the


    entire room before dissipating. He was putting up a sound barrier so no one could hear


    us, but my room had always been


    secured, and it was better to be safe than


    sorry.


    “So he opened his eyes?” He scoffed.


    “And he touched me.”


    “I knew he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.


    “He shook his head, and I was not sure if he was annoyed or amused.


    “You still didn’t answer my question.”


    “Fine! He got his memory back! Patrea


    decided she wanted to reverse the spell because there was a possibility of him losing his


    memory fully if some other supernatural being yed with his mind before she could


    restore it!”


    “He knew I wasing for him tonight?”


    “Yes.” He let out a sigh before he continued. “And before you think of anything, I didn’t


    allow Stone to do what he wanted. He needs


    to follow all my instructions so he can see


    you. And yes! The Alpha was like my fucking puppet just so he could see you again! He


    wanted you as much as you wanted him, so


    before you decide to back out on me, think of


    the fucking man who waits for you on the


    other side!”


    Lucius’ chest was heaving, and so was mine. I was trying to control my emotions as they


    were overwhelming me.


    “You’re working with Patrea?” I asked.


    “Yes. She wanted to get you out of here for helping her.”


    “No. Let her out of this. I let her out because


    her granddaughter helped me. She doesn’t owe me anything.”


    “She wants to. I’m not forcing her if that’s what you think.”


    “You’re not bringing her back here!” I snapped at him.


    “Of course, I will! We’re demons, but so is our father. We need other supernatural beings


    who can help us!”


    “How many lives are you willing to sacrifice. just to get me out of here?”


    “Just mine. You have my word that everyone. on our side will get out of here alive. If


    worstes to worst, even if I need to use all my power to send you all back to the other


    realm, I would do that! You-just-need-to- fucking-trust-me!”


    The rest of his words didn’t register as I stared nkly at him. Did I hear him say only his


    life would be at stake?


    “What do you mean, just your life? I thought you wanted to be the king of Kalmerus?” I


    hissed at him as goosebumps rose to my


    skin.


    Lucius smirked at me as if what he said was


    insignificant. “Rx. The king protects his


    people, especially the queen. So you have my word that everyone I will bring here will


    get.


    out alive.”


    “Lucius… You’re not going to die on me, right?”


    Heughed wickedly before he shook his head. “I thought your stay here had made. you


    tough. You were a badass queen there in front of Lucien and Guillermo, but you look like


    a scaredmb now.”


    I bit my bottom lip as many scenarios came to mind while my words failed me. If Lucius


    died, who would rule Kalmerus? I didn’t want to be trapped here. But of course, that was


    not the only reason I had to keep him alive.


    Lucius was the only family I had.


    “I will help you if you promise me you won’t die.” I was finally able to talk.


    “You’re grossly underestimating me,


    princess Lucija. I didn’te this far to just throw it all away.”


    “You’re confusing me with your words.”


    “I swear to Hades, that a day before your cleansing, I will tell you how we can kill him.


    Trust me, Lucija.”


    “You’re not tagging Adan on this, right?”


    He smiled wickedly at me. “What can an ordinary wolf do here? He’s fucking useless. So


    do your job and choose me for the cleansing, and I promise you, in no time you’ll be


    back in his arms.”


    I nodded my head. And before I could say or ask more, Lucius had disappeared from my


    room at the same time someone knocked on my door.


    ‘Are you inside? Can we talk?’ Guillermo dug into my head, and I was thankful that


    Father had created an enchantment that prevents


    anyone but him and Lucius from entering my chamber through teleportation.


    I opened the door and stepped outside, closing the door behind me before I tilted my


    head to look at him. “I’m tired and hoping to


    get some rest. We can talk here for a while.”


    “Maybe you would fancy a walk?”


    My eyebrows hiked up as I spoke. “No.”


    “Give me a chance, Lucija. You need to get to know me. Maybe I’m better than what you


    thought or heard about me.”


    This had nothing to do with what I thought of him. He’s my brother. And regardless of


    whether the underworld never had problems with coupling between families, I was not a


    full demon. And I would never fancy anyone who was rted by blood. Just the thought


    of him and Lucius in that way, made my stomach churn in a very bad way.


    “I don’t need to. I already made up my mind. I don’t need anyone. I’m good on my own.”


    “You can’t get away from me!” He hissed, his eyes zed red, and I knew I just poked


    his ego.


    “I can,” I didn’t wait for his reply as I transported my body outside the tower. I wanted to


    let Angel out since I stayed inside. the whole day today.


    But if I thought Guillermo would never find me, I was wrong. In seconds, he appeared


    behind me and clutched my wrist, pulling my body back and making my chest m


    against his. Before I could push him away from me, his lips had captured mine, and he


    began kissing me fiercely.


    My eyes widened in disgust, but I remained frozen in my spot at the same time Angel


    shed an image of Adan.


    Adan! With Angel within me, he would feel the kiss. It was enough to break my body from


    being rigid. I pressed my hands against his chest and pushed him away, using my


    demon force, and my hand automatically swung and pped his face.


    His eyes zed red, and he was about to grab me again, but I was faster this time and


    teleported my body back to my chamber.


    I wiped my lips with the back of my hand as I walked back and forth inside my room.


    With tears pooling in my eyes, I connected my mind with Lucius again. ‘Help me…’


    ‘What’s wrong?’ He asked, but before I could answer him, he appeared inside my


    room.


    My shoulders shook as my tears streamed down my face. I thought I was already strong,


    but the thought of the pain I gave Adan was enough to make me crumble


    again.


    “Lucija?” Lucius’ hands went to my arms as he shook me gently, urging me to look at


    him. “What happened?”


    “Guillermo kissed me…”


    “Did he hurt you?”


    “No! It’s not me. He can’t hurt me. But Adan


    I’m sure he felt that I kissed someone.”


    “I’m sure he would…”


    “You don’t understand! I would be upset.


    and angry if Adan kissed someone, so I’m


    sure he’s angry right now! You need to tell him I didn’t kiss anyone! That it was not my


    fault!” I was trying to stop myself from shouting louder.


    “Is it really that important?” His forehead creased, and he was looking at me as if I had


    lost my mind.


    “I know you don’t understand. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been in love because demons


    don’t do love, but I have. And thest thing I want is to hurt my mate. So, please… If you


    don’t go and talk with him, I will leave this realm, and hell be damned!”


    “But if I leave, how sure am I that you’ll be


    safe from Guillermo or Father? I’m not here if you need me.”


    “I know what to do now. Guillermo just caught me off-guard. Please… You don’t


    know Adan. He’s a different person if he’s upset!”


    “Fine. Be careful here.”


    I threw my arms around him and rested my cheek on his chest as I sniffled. “Thank you,


    now go.”


    I almost fell forward when his body disappeared. I gathered myself up and climbed onto


    my bed to sit down. I pulled my knees against my chest – all I could do was wait for


    Lucius toe back.


    I should never let my guard down again. But then there was also the cleansing. I had no


    idea at what point Lucius’ n would start, but I was hoping it would be before anyone


    could touch or kiss me.
