BRAVING THE DARKNESS: One Night With The Demon King

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 52 – Three Wishes (LUCIUS)

After I had unleashed my frustration at the dungeon, I fixed myself and transported my body back to the Mystic Pack packhouse, only to find out Patrea was not there.

“Again, Lucija, where did Patrea go?” I asked Lucija for the nth time since she came into this room with Althea. “She’s safe, Lucius. You need to trust that your queen can take care of herself.” She responded instead of answering my question.

“1 know she can, but I just want to know where she is. Don’t force me to dig into your head for answers.”

“I’m sure you can’t. No one has ever read my mind.”

I hissed at her, knowing she was telling the truth. My head snapped to Althea’s, and it made her body jolt backward, but Lucija was fast enough to block me. “Do not do whatever you are thinking. Patrea will not appreciate it if you meddle with Althea’s mind.”

In frustration, I brushed my hair with my hand before turning around and walking in the opposite direction inside the bedroom where Patrea was last seen. I tried to reach her mind, but it was shut off, something I thought was no longer possible, as I assumed that being marked on both sides made our connection flawless.

“Don’t I deserve to know where? Did she tell you not to tell me?” I asked Lucija. This time, I was using a different tactic.

“No. But I’m sure she wanted you not to interfere right now. So I will tell you, but can you promise to wait here when she returns?”

“I don’t want to promise that. Because if it takes so long before she returns, I will come after her. You should know better than to make me promise such a thing. And before you tell me I am being unreasonable, put yourself in my shoes. I’m sure you will be firing ice at me if I refuse to tell you where Stone has gone off.”

“Fine. She went to meet Hades.” F*uc*k. I knew it!

“Did she tell you why?” I asked. She shook her head. “No. I’m not lying.” My gaze shifted to Althea, who shook her head as well.

Patrea probably didn’t tell them, but did she go there to ask for her gift like I did? My forehead creased as my eyes blazed red at the memory of Hades.
