Chapter 118


    118 - Coming Home LUCY.


    Although I was tired, my mind was excited.I couldn’t wait to get out of here and just live a simple life


    with Adan.I stayed awake waiting for him and Lucius toe back while Patrea dozed off in my bed.


    She told me she hadn’t had a decent sleep in days just thinking about the things that could go wrong,


    and now that it was over, she just wanted to sleep the night away.


    I initially offered her her own room, but she refused.


    She was notfortable in the tower, and she knew she would not be able to sleep if I were not


    around.


    But before she fell asleep, she told me about meeting Althea and how happy she was that even though


    Adora was gone, she left a part of her and that she was able to reconnect with a family.


    She told me Althea was excited too, and they’d been nning to live together.


    Patrea was really happy and was looking forward to having a normal life, despite knowing she would


    never grow old and that one day she would see Althea perish.


    But she didn’t want to think about it at the moment since Althea was just 18 and had many years ahead


    of her.


    Her only concern was de.


    de had marked Althea because of the mess that happened during the full moon and the reason as


    to why he didn’t want the rejection for now.


    But it seemed that de had no intention of iming her granddaughter.


    She then asked me what I thought of de, but I had nothing to say about him since I just met him on


    the same day Althea appeared at the Mystic Pack, but I did promise her that I would try to get


    information from Adan.


    I was still lost in my own thoughts when a knock came on my door.


    My brows hiked up, but then I remembered it must be Adan, and he could never transport inside my


    chambers since only Lucius and Lucien were allowed to do that.

    I hurried up and opened the double doors, and I was right — standing outside was my Adan.


    He had pants on now, but he was naked on his upper body, and I couldn’t help but swoon when my


    gaze fell on his ripped abs, which he always flexed whenever I stared at them.


    I slipped out of the room and closed the door behind me so I wouldn’t wake Patrea up.


    Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a big hug, even though his naked torso was


    covered in blood.


    "Did you miss me?"


    His deep baritone voice sent shivers down my spine as his hands moved inside the back of my shirt,


    his calloused palms brushing against my skin.


    "I did!"


    I replied as I pulled away from hugging him and cupped his face to give him a peck on his lips.


    "How did it go? Did you...?"


    "Yup.He’s dead.We ripped his heart as well as his head from his body before I burned Patrea’s house."


    Lucius answered nonchntly and it was only then that I noticed him leaning his back on the walls


    beside my door.


    "You what? Oh, my Goddess, how about her things?"


    My eyes widened as I red at Lucius.


    "Do you think she will need those?" He chuckled.


    "Of course! Every female wanted to keep their personal things and all the trinkets and souvenirs..."


    "Really? Howe you only have a small backpack if females are like that?" Adan asked.


    "I have nothing, to begin with except my opal stone, which is gone now."


    "I have it.Someone found it...and I kept it safe." Adan said, and I knew my eyes might be sparkling


    looking at the way Adan was smiling back at me.


    Oh, Goddess, I couldn’t help but swoon over this one.


    "Thank you..." I told him.


    "No...Thank you..."


    Adan''s eyes changed color and dted to ck, and my eyes widened as Beast made his presence


    known.


    Only then did I notice Angel prancing around in my head like there was no enchantment in the tower.


    My mouth dropped open as my eyes shifted from him to Lucius and back to him.


    "Howe I can feel Angel and Beast?"


    "Lucius lifted off the demon enchantment suppressing the other halves of supernatural beings at this


    tower," Adan answered.


    "Except the dungeons below.I couldn’t risk that since most of the prisoners there, have a counterpart as


    well, stronger than my demons." Lucius added.


    "No wonder the sparks are stronger! Thank you!"


    "He thinks it would make you likeing here more."


    Adan chuckled as he tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.


    "I thought you were kicking me away from herepletely," I told Lucius.


    "I am, but this tower is yours too, Lucija.You and Stone, and your kids cane here anytime you


    want."


    "My kids...No."


    I shook my head.


    "Lucija...What do you mean no?"Lucius asked.


    "You''re free to visit us, Lucius.But I have to think about whether I want to be here again.I’m pretty sure


    you can manage this whole ce without me.I have never been really a part of this world."


    "Are you abandoning your demon side?"


    "That’s always been the n.I just need to find out how.But I guess, leaving it stagnant for some time


    would make me more of a shifter than a demon.But I don’t know.I don’t want to live forever and see


    everyone around me die.And then what? I''ll be just right here.Selene told me once that once a shifter


    dies, their souls go back to the moon, and she would give them another chance to go back to the world


    and find their mates all over again.So I’m sure I want to fall in love with Adan again, even if I can’t


    remember this present life.And going back to the moon, I am hoping I can see my mom and stepfather


    again."


    I didn’t know why all of a sudden I blurted these all out.


    Maybe because I was now seeing the possibilities of these dreams.


    But then I felt Adan stiffen beside me as his face went nk.


    "Are you okay?" I asked, with worries flitting in my eyes.


    "Yes.Let’s go home and discuss about this demon side."


    He smiled as he rubbed his palm on my arm.


    "Don''t forget that your blood made Stone a demon as well.He’s also part of this demon world you want


    to abandon." Lucius stated.


    "I said I’m not sure yet.Of course, I want to be wherever Adan will be."


    Adan’s arms wrapped around me as his lips pressed against the crown of my head and I coiled my


    arms around his body.


    "We''re going home."


    He murmured against my hair.


    "Yes, we are.We just need to let Patrea sleep for a while.She’s exhausted."


    "She doesn’t need to go now.This tower is big if she wants a ce to..."


    Lucius said, but I cut him off right away.


    "She’s not staying, Lucius.She has Althea now, and she told me how she looked forward to starting a


    new life with her.Imagine having to live down here for decades, and now she’s so excited for a normal


    life."


    "I see..."


    Lucius smiled.


    "I can transport her and you back now, so when she wakes up, she can see Althea."


    "Oh, but I think she wants to talk with you first," I added.


    "I can always go and find her." He answered.


    "Are you sure? We can wait until she wakes up.Will you be okay here without us?"


    Lucius’ughter echoed around us as he slipped a hand inside his jeans pocket.


    "I always managed on my own, Lucija."


    "You still owe me about the queen you want to have."


    I reminded him.


    "We will see..."


    "I want to meet her.So, that’s one reason for me toe back here."


    "Do you want to talk?"


    Adan’s solemn voice interrupted us, and I saw Lucius shake his head.


    "I''m just a flick of the fingers away.


    Give me a visit any time of the day.


    Just as long as you don’t scare anyone off, you’re wee in my territory, except in my bedroom."


    Adan said and hisst words made me giggle.


    "I''ll surely do so," Lucius replied.


    "l count on that.I might not be as powerful as the rest of your brothers, but I’m a hell of a lot better than


    them as a brother."


    "Fuck that! You killed Lucien, and you pulled off stunts to lure him, and you think you’re still weaker


    than them? Or is this where you want someone to boost your ego?"


    Lucius mocked him.


    "I think thest one."


    Adan chuckled before he extended a hand to Lucius.


    "I would want to stay for a while, but I’m sure de, Collin, and Kingston might be too harassed by now


    by my family with Sheena’s existence there."


    Lucius took his hand and shook it before he let me wrapped my arms around him and hugged him


    tightly.


    "Thank you..."


    I murmured to my brother.


    Lucius patted my back before he pulled away.


    "Come back, Lucija.Just a visit will be enough for me.."


    My eyes watered as I nodded my head.


    "I never liked the underworld, but I don’t know why I’m teary-eyed right now."


    "Perhaps it’s because you finally got what you’ve wanted since you were eleven?" He said this while


    shing me his devilish grin.


    I nodded my head as the tears trickled down my face.


    "Thank you for keeping your promise, King Lucius.I hope you find someone to spend eternity with


    because eternity alone sucks. So go get that queen you want."


    Lucius didn’t reply, but he smiled at me.


    "You can both go ahead, and I''ll take care of Patrea and send her back. I just need the exact ce


    where you want me to ce her."


    I told Lucius the exact location of one of the guest rooms in the packhouse, the one near where Althea


    slept before.


    "So this is it. Come visit us." Adan stated.


    "I will."


    Lucius nodded his head as he turned my door knob, while Adan’s arms wrapped around my body as he


    stood behind me.


    I was confused as to how we would teleport directly to the packhouse when Lucius was already about


    to step inside my bedroom, but I didn’t have the time to ask as my body was sucked into limbo - and


    thest thing I saw was the sadness in Lucius’ eyes as he turned his body around to walk inside my


    room.
