Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 113

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.

"Aaaaah!"

Patrea screamed as a big explosion came out, and I knew it hit my back at the same time I pushed Patrea’s body away from me.

My mind went black for a few seconds as blood oozed out of my mouth.

But instead of feeling weak, I felt a surge of power rising in my chest.

I gripped the ground dust as I pushed myself up, coughing blood from my mouth as my head tilted to look around —fire, ice, and lightning were shooting everywhere.

The fight had just begun.

Zelda, the witch was throwing lightning at every one of us. She was too strong, maybe it was the dark magic that was doing it.

"Ahhh!"

I dodged after my fireball missed her and she aimed triple lightning my way.

"No! Not Lucija!!!!"

My father screamed at the witch when Zelda almost hit me.

I knew my father was trying to protect me because I would be his death as well, but I didn’t expect him to fire a ball of fire directly into Zelda’s chest as soon as he was free of his bind.

He killed his own ally.

The witch dropped dead before our eyes, and Patrea couldn’t suppress the gasp from leaving her lips.

Adan placed me behind him again, and I wanted to kick him! Of all of us here, I was the only one Lucien would never hit with his power.

"He will never hit me!"

I hissed at Adan before standing before him, but Adan was already firing ice at Lucien, which he was blocking off with his fire, so I decided to just join in, even when I could hear Patrea scrambling on her feet as she helped Lucius, who was still crawling to the ground.

Soon, Father tried to hit the direction where Lucies and Patrea were, but I built an ice globe around them.

Eventually, it melted as more demons popped out of nowhere.

My father had summoned his army! "Do not touch, Lucija!"

He roared, and I knew I should be the one managing those demons because they would hesitate to hit me so I left Adan and Lucius to hold off Lucien while I killed the demons appearing in the cave.

Patrea was also chanting, and some demons just disappeared as soon as they arrived.

"Where are you taking them?" I asked her as I moved closer to her, so we were back to back with each other.

"I don't know. Some place I'd seen before but I included they would not be able to return here."

"Smart move. But shit, they kept coming!"
