069 – Lucien & Patrea

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. 3

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 underworld, Hades always had a soft spot for females, something I couldn’t understand. He was supposed to be the toughest of all the gods, but he was bowing down to females.

I pushed any thoughts of Hades aside for the moment as I made my way inside Patrea’s cottage. I reached the door to her bedroom and forced it open, breaking the

door from its hinges and making the witch jolt from her bed.

She was sleeping, and I just woke her up.

A crooked smile was plastered on my face. as my gaze wandered over the flawless

skin of her neck and shoulders while she

clutched her sheets tighter around her body.

“Oh, come on, Lucien! I’d been asking you for privacy for many decades now,

and up until now, you didn’t have the decency to knock.”

“I would have transported my body here if you hadn’t cast a spell in your cottage. Barging in is the next best option.”

“What do you want now?” Her eyes darkened, and I knew I had annoyed her

again like I’d been doing for the last three

decades.

Patrea caught my eye because she was beautiful. I thought I outsmarted her when I brought her here, but the witch. was cunning and cast a spell on herself so

I would not be able to fuck her.

Despite lusting after her, she was the only

female I couldn’t touch in this realm. If I

pushed myself on her, her body would

deteriorate and she would die –

something she would rather be than have

sex with me.

So I just watched her from a distance, and

from time to time I would give in and

touch her, but I couldn’t fuck her. Until I

finally gave up because it just led to more

frustration. She was the only female I

could never have. I could have killed her,

but I needed her alive rather than dead.

“Are you just going to stare there, or will you talk?” She rolled her eyes before she continued. “Can you leave my room and

let me dress up, I will meet you in the

kitchen.”

“I’ve seen everything in your body, Patrea. What’s the point of having privacy?”

“Oh, yes, I forgot.” She shoved her blanket off her body and got up from her bed. “You’ve seen everything.
