LUCIUS.

“Are you even listening?” Adan growled lowly, and my head snapped to look at him just in time to see my nephew, Luther, who was sitting on his lap, place a hand over his mouth and begin producing gurgling sounds.

“He doesn’t like when you growl,” I chuckled. “ Try hissing.”

“This pup here will be an Alpha, not a demon king.” Stone chuckled while letting Luther’s hand roam his face.

“Not yet, not right away. But he will be king. You can’t stop him from having the fate destined for him.”

“Fine. Who am I to question that when my own fate is complicated? But I’m not complaining. I’ve got the girl! And this little fire here!” He squeezed his son’s arms gently before mimicking the gurgling sounds that Luther produced.

I had no idea what to feel at the moment as I looked at the father and son. I wanted someone like Luther. But I would never let Patrea know that. Like Stone, I’ve got the girl. It should be enough.

“What’s wrong?” Stone asked, and I found him staring at me.

“What?” My eyebrows rose.

“What are you thinking?” he asked. “Do you know demons can get a female pregnant if they wish to? If I f*uc*ked a female and willed her not to get pregnant, then she would never get pregnant. But if I don’t think about stopping it, then most likely she will be.”

“Wait, does this include me?” His eyes dilated, and his forehead creased.

“Aren’t you producing demon seeds? Of course, it includes you.” I answered him sarcastically.

“And nobody bothers to f*uc*king inform me of this?” He growled, and Luther’s eyes widened before he began giggling. Stone’s eyes softened before he repeated the growl for Luther’s sake, and the little demon giggled again.

“Tell you what?” he asked. “If I could just f*uc*king will it not to happen, Lucy would not become pregnant! Did you know how many f*uc*king condoms I bought to make sure she doesn’t produce another pup every three months?”

I couldn’t stop letting out an evil laugh because his expression was deadly when he turned to look at me. And if he were not my brother-in-law, I should see that as I sign of danger. “It’s not f*uc*king funny! Imagine the f*uc*king time I lost putting those rubbers on! Damn it!”

“Next time, just think not to get her pregnant before you release. Then it’s all set.”

“Why are we even talking about this? Are you thinking of getting Patrea pregnant?”

“She can’t get pregnant.”
