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

Chapter 60 Epilogue Part 2.

3 MONTHS AFTER PART 1 (PATREA)

“Don’t you f*uc*king dare to cut my skin!” I screamed as another contraction hit my body.

I could only count the number of times I swore, but today had been exceptional. I couldn’t stop myself from throwing curses and bad words at my king.

I was in labor, and the baby was ready to come out.

Lucius was the only one with me since demon childbirth was never a problem.

Demons could even give birth on their own. Maybe we were so relaxed that we forgot that I was still part human and witch.

“I have to take it out. I’ll cut and heal it back!” Lucius explained in a loud voice. “I don’t f*uc*king like seeing you whimper like that!”

“NO! NO! NO! I want to feel my child coming out of my p*uss*y!”

“Patrea!” He hissed, his forehead was sweaty, and I could feel the whole chamber getting too warm.

“Get out!! I glared at him. But I didn’t mean it. I was just in too much pain, and his worried expression was not helping at all.

“No f*uc*king way that I will let you on your own!” He hissed.

I was about to throw him out again when Lucy appeared. Thank Spirits, because I summoned her as Lucius was not doing what he was supposed to do.

“What the f*uc*k are you doing here? How did you get in?” Lucius snapped at her, but Lucy ignored him and walked toward the end of the bed, where my legs were spread open.

“Oh, Goddess. I can see the crown already.”

“He wanted to cut my stomach and take the baby from there,” I told her immediately. “You can’t at this point. Let me help. Get out of the way!” She kept pushing Lucius, but he was not moving from his position in front of my open legs.

“You’re f*uc*king swollen too and can give birth anytime!” He told her.

I panted and winced, knowing another contraction was about to come, and I could feel this was it.

“Love, please hold my hand. I’m getting too weak now.” Aside from wanting Lucy to take charge, I wanted Lucius to t*ouch me.

“S*hit!” Lucius cursed as he moved and sat beside me. His arm cradled my head as he held my hand.

He leaned forward and kissed my forehead a s my hold on his hand tightened.

“It’ll be over soon.” He said it to me, but it looked like he was trying to convince himself more.

I gritted my teeth as I let out a hiss, and Lucy began instructing me to push harder. Finally, after the most brutal push I had done, I felt something spew out of my core, and I could breathe again.

I was still panting, and my eyes were dropping, but I was fighting myself from passing out. I wanted to see Lucius first.

And the sight that welcomed me will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Lucius’ eyes were red, but they were brimming with tears. His mouth was slightly open as he stared at Lucy and the baby in her arms.

I had seen Lucius happy on many occasions, and in all those moments, I never took them for granted. Yet, as many as they were, every time happiness flashed in his eyes, I reveled and basked in them.

And this was one of those moments, and I was so proud that I was the one who gave him this happiness.

“We did it…” I murmured as my eyes darted to Lucy, who had managed to wrap a black cloth around our little heir.

“Thank you, my love.” Lucius’ hand held the back of my head as she pushed it toward him and pecked my lips.

“Here you go, little show master, giving your parents a fright before coming out, huh?” Lucy happily chattered before she handed our child to Lucius. She then shifted her eyes between us before locking them with mine. “Congratulations! It’s a prince!”

A wide smile crossed my lips as my attention was drawn to my king, who was cradling our little prince in one arm while his other arm was around me.

Lucy kissed Lucius’ cheek before she bent over and kissed mine. She then tapped our son’s nose before she backed away. “I will leave the three of you to enjoy this moment. Call us when you’re ready for us. But don’t take so long. The whole kingdom is waiting a swell.”

“Thank you, Lucija.” It was Lucius’, and it made me proud to hear him say those words. Lucius never hesitated to use them at me, but he found it hard to communicate them to others. So, I knew how grateful he must be at this moment to be able to say that.

Lucija winked at us before she turned around and headed for the door.

‘Don’t hate me, but Althea is also here. I can’t just leave her there, as she wants to see you right away. But I made sure no demons saw her when we arrived on the portal before transporting her here.’

‘Thankyou.’ I replied on our mindlink. I had wanted to keep Althea away from here as much as possible, but today would be an exception.

“Look at how handsome he is. And he didn’t even cry…” Lucius blurted it out, and I could hear the pride in his voice.

I giggled and tickled his nose. His eyes closed, and I thought it made him sleepy, only for a purple mist to rise from his skin.

My eyes widened as they met Lucius bewildered gaze. But before we could say anything, the show master suddenly engulfed his body with fire, which slowly subsided until it was gone, and he drifted off to sleep.

A smug smirk crossed Lucius’ lips as he winked at me. “We have a powerful hybrid prince.”

I bit my bottom lip before I dared to ask Lucius. “Can you feel his power? Is it strong?”

I wanted to know because if he was not as powerful, I wanted to make sure that we could guide him so he wouldn’t think he wasn’t good enough, as Lucius grew up believing.

He nodded his head. “The same aura as Luther. They are more powerful than Lucija.”

“But will you still love him even if he is not?”

“He came from you. He can be a plain witch, and I would still want him.”

I took our son from his hand and cradled him in my bosom, watching him as his chest rose and fell from his deep sleep.

“Lukas…” I said. It was the name we decided on for a boy.

“Lukas, the prince of seduction,” Lucius added.

It was amazing how powerful demons were able to feel the title attached to every newborn.

“I think our hands will be full when he comes of age.”

“Yes, but I’m sure he can handle himself well. He’s smart, like his mother.”

“And courageous like his father,” I added. “Thank you for giving me Lukas, Patrea.”

“No. Thank you for not giving up.” I tilted m y head to meet his gaze, and my heart overflowed with happiness at the love flitting in his eyes.

“When it comes to you, giving up is never an option, Patrea. No matter what happens, you, above all.” He said it in a sincere voice, and I believed him.

“I love you…” I murmured.

“I love you too, my queen.” He replied before our lips met.

Lucius cupped my face as we kissed deeply and passionately, pouring out all the emotions that we had held for each other through the years.

We only had five years, but there will always be decades, centuries, and eternity that I looked forward to spending with him — with my Lucius.

Lucius. My King.

I will always be grateful for him.

Both of our species don’t have any fated mates or soul mates, but I knew what we felt for each other was greater than any bond created and pushed by fate.

I am his. As he is mine.

He came into my life just at the right time when I could finally break free from Lucien’s grip.

I knew that if I met him before that, I would see him in a different light.

Lucius might be a full demon, the king of the underworld, but for me, he was my Lucius. The love of my life – and it was greater than the power he carried.

He was everything I never thought I needed.

Even the past didn’t seem painful anymore. Having him made me accept even the horrible parts of my life. Everything I went through — the pain, the tears, the torture, the isolation, the abuse — all led me straight to the arms of my king.

One night.

One contract.

One game.

It was supposed to be just payback, but I got more than I paid for.

I got a lifetime, a kingdom, and a love worth crossing realms for.

My name is Patrea. I am a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother.

A light witch, a demon, and the Queen of Kalmerus-Athwart.

But of all the titles I held, there was one thing I was most proud of: I am Lucius’ Queen.

A title I would never give up in this lifetime and the many other lifetimes after this, up to eternity.

I knew in my heart that no other female could love my demon king as much as I did. I n the same way, no other man could give me the love and security I craved all my life. Only Lucius could give me that.

And it was more than enough.

I braved the darkness blindly when I let him into my life, but I’m glad that I did because now, I am reaping the beauty of it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
