BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

113 – The Rightful Heir

LUCIUS.

The female that appeared out of nowhere was wearing a long, black cloak, and if I were right, she might be the witch Lucien used for the enchantment of the cove.

“It took me a while to find where they took you!”

She snapped at him before directing her gaze at us.

“She’s a witch!”

Lucy blurted out as she shoved Stone behind her and positioned herself in a protective stance, but Adan was fast to reverse their position so that he was now in front of her.

“That I am! Nice to see you, Patrea! I didn’t know you would turn to the other side!”

The witch smirked as she diverted her attention to Patrea..

“If Lucien hadn’t bound me with his damn contract, I would have left a long time ago! And you’re making a great mistake, Zelda! You still have time to abandon Lucien. And we will never come after you!”

Patrea yelled at her.

“Too bad, Patrea, I can gain more from him than you!” She glared and blasted a light on our side, and Patrea mustered up her energy to building a shield to cover us.

“Melt the ice around you, Lucien, while Patrea is still preoccupied! “

She murmured, sending a message to Lucien, but I could hear it with my demon ears.

This was the reason we took Lucien out of his kingdom to a place in the underworld where he would not be able to have any connection.

The Kingdom of Arsenith – the kingdom of his worst rival. But I would never guess he had a witch, which he probably linked to himself like a fucking GPS.

Lucy tried to shoot fire, but it bounced back on the shield that Patrea created.

“Stop the shield, we will blast her off! Otherwise, we can’t just stay here and use up all your energy. I’m sure, Lucien will be able to unbind himself!”

Lucija told Patrea.

“I can’t. If I do, her lightning will fire directly at me! It will hit me, and I don’t know if I have the strength to survive that!”

Patrea’s voice was stuttering, and I regretted prolonging Lucien’s life. I should have killed him earlier before the witch arrived.

Patrea began to lose her footing, but she was trying to remain standing.

Sweat formed on her forehead as she kept blocking the shield.

“Thad to let go of one spell. I can’t keep Lucien’s bind and this shield together! She’s using dark magic, it’s too much for me!” Patrea added.

‘Lucy, Stone, prepare to hit the witch. I will stop Patrea’s shield!’ I linked them both, and Lucy rejected my idea, but I made up my mind.

We couldn’t just stand there and let Patrea protect us while Lucien was gaining back his strength.

I nodded my head at Lucija and Stone, and jumped at Patrea, snaking my arms around her body while making sure my back was the one facing Zelda.
