120 – Deal With the Demon LUCIUS.
I walked carefully to where Patrea was sleeping.I was contemplating whether I should wake her up or not but finally decided on the latter.I had no idea what her mood would be if I woke her up.
Maybe it was better if she was sleeping, at least I would be free to look at her.I showered mist over her, an enchantment to keep her sleeping.
With the power I got from Lucien, I would be able to carry the enchantments even if I crossed realms, so she would still be asleep once I took her back to Stone’s home.I should be sending her on her own, but I wanted to make sure she would not end up somewhere far from where she should be, so I decided that I would take her there myself.I wanted her in Stone’s territory, and I hope the Alpha will keep his promise to let the witch and her granddaughter live within his pack.
It was my only way to keep an eye on her.
My hand reached for her cheek, brushing my knuckles gently against her soft skin.
I had no idea how long it had already been since I met Patrea, but it amazed me that, until now, I had not made an aggressive move to lure her into my charm.I think I was no longer living up to my title as the Prince of Lust.
Not that I wasn’t lusting after the witch.
Because I was sure that I was, but there was something about her that stopped me from using the same charms I was using for the females that were in my bed.
I wanted her to like me just the way I am.
Even if I had no idea who I truly was.
And knowing that she didn’t like the underworld was already a red flag that things couldn’t be better between us.
Maybe I would just take the one night and move on.
That was the plan, right? Taste her and then forget about her, like all the other females before her.
It sounded so easy, but it was making my body feel heavy.
To be honest, as much as I wanted her, I didn’t want to force her to spend one night with me if she didn’t want to.
Aside from the fact that I had never previously forced myself on any females, I didn’t want her to hate me if I did.
Fuck me! I’m a king now, I should focus on more important things than lusting over a female I could never have.
I let out a deep sigh and took off the blanket that covered her body.
I let my eyes memorize every inch of her before I hooked an arm under her knees and slipped the other under her neck.
As soon as I was carrying her, I transported our bodies to the room described by Lucija, and in a blink of an eye, I found myself in a bedroom that was dimly lit by just the side lamps.
I adjusted the blanket carefully while still carrying her, then carefully placed her on the bed.I could hear noises outside of the room.

They were probably on the ground floor of this packhouse, but I could hear them, and I just decided to tune them out.I guess being this powerful heightened all my senses, even in other realms.
Patrea was still sleeping peacefully, and I knew this was the part where I should go.I should be working my tail off in my own kingdom, but instead, I was staring at her chest as it rose and fell with her breathing.
Her lips parted as she softly purred, and it was taking all of my restraint not to touch her lips or kiss her.
But I was losing it. I bent down, ready to peck her lips, just to have a little taste of her, when I heard footsteps approaching.I inched back just in time as the door opened, and I came face to face with Althea.
“Lucius..”‘ Her eyes shifted between me and Patrea’s sleeping form.
I nodded at her as I inserted my hand in my pocket.
“I’m going now.”
She nodded her head before she spoke as if she remembered something.
“Are you not going to wake her up to say goodbye?”
“Nah.Let her sleep.She exhausted too much energy.” I replied.
I didn’t waste any more time.I gave Althea a salute before disappearing.
The moment my feet hit the tower floor, my chest felt empty.
I had a big kingdom, but no one to share it with.
And I doubted if any of my brothers would want to live with me.
I chuckled at my own thoughts before my eyes roamed around the vast throne hall.
It was grand, more lively than it had been for centuries, but the beauty of it only made me sad.
I should be celebrating now.
Simon had asked me earlier if I wanted to have a banquet or a feast inviting demons to celebrate the takeover, but I had declined.
I was not in the mood to celebrate.
Partying, feasting, and orgies used to be the highlights of my days, but they looked boring to me at the moment.
I was about to turn around and walk away from the throne room when I felt such a strong aura inside the room that it made my knees buckle.
My gaze shifted around until it landed on my new throne chair.
Seated comfortably on it was someone I had never seen before in person, but I was sure it was him.
Hades – the God of the Underworld.
PATREA.
My eyes fluttered open, but I shut them again as I let out a soft yawn before grabbing the pillow beside me and hugging it.
It didn’t take long before a soft giggle reached my ears, and it made me rise abruptly from laying down.
My gaze fell on Althea, who was on a single sofa reading a witchcraft book while munching an apple as she smiled at me.
“You’ve been sleeping so long…”
“Where am I?” I asked, but I already had an idea because Althea was here.
Unless, of course, she was brought to the underworld.
“Mystic pack…”
“How did I end up here?”
I asked “Lucius brought you here.”
“Where’s Lucy and Adan?”
“In their room, I guess.
They arrived in the receiving hall, but Lucius brought you here directly because you were sleeping.”
I nodded my head and checked my clothes.I still had the same ones T had in Lucy’s room.I swallowed and tried to feel if there was anything strange in my body — not that I didn’t trust Lucius.
