Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 193

Chapter 041 – King Arturos

LUCIUS.

I didn’t know it was possible to feel this happy despite the fact that my kingdom was under attack. I was so used to taking pride and being boastful of my accomplishments, but this happiness Patrea was giving me was beyond me. For the first time, I got something because it wanted me, not out of force or rebellion.

Title of the document

Patrea was alive, and she survived my mark because of one thing: she loved me.

And I knew at this point that I could do everything, anything, to make sure she wouldn’t regret braving the darkness that came along with loving me.

“Welcome to Kalmerus, my queen,” I told her as I stared directly into her amber eyes before they blazed red. And it just made me excited.

My hand gripped her jaw tightly as I crushed my lips against her, kissing her brutally hard, and my queen just accepted my kiss wholeheartedly before she snaked her arms around me.

But I knew I should stop kissing her, or this might lead to other things, and we had a kingdom to protect. I pulled away from her lips, but she whimpered and pulled me back, kissing me again, and I couldn’t help but smile as I gently bit her bottom lip before pulling away again.

“We need to get back, or we might not have a kingdom to rule,” I told her in a low voice as my thumb caressed her cheek. Holding Patrea gently this way just felt natural. “Oh, I’m sorry. I totally forgot that.” She said as red tints crept up her cheeks.

“No No. No need for apologies. I want nothing but to hold you in my arms, to kiss and fuck you, but now that you’re back here with me, I want to go out there and protect Kalmerus more than ever.” I cupped her face with both hands. ‘I want to rule this kingdom with you.”

“You’re overwhelming me.” She said as she took a deep breath.

“Am I? Pardon me, my queen, but I will take it slow from here. We will discuss this again, but for now, let’s save Kalmerus.” I told her as a smug smirk crossed my face. She nodded her head and beamed at me “I will be honored if you fight beside me,” I added, and I meant it.

“I don’t know how to use your powers yet.”

“That power Is yours, not mine. And whatever I have, you’ve got more because you’re also a witch. Use what you think is best suited, and I will just be beside you, behind you, watching and protecting you if you need me.”

“I love you, Lucius.” She said, her eyes blazing red as her mouth smiled warmly al me. Patrea was looking al me as if I were the most precious thing in all of these realms.

“I love you too. my queen.” My hands were still on her face. I didn’t think I would ever get tired of looking at her Patrea was just so beautiful and indeed a sight for sore eyes.

“Stop staring at me and let’s save Kalmerus,” she said as a wide grin curled on her lips.

I looked at her one more time before I changed her clothing. Nothing special, just a full-body suit that would make it easier for her to move.

“Wow. I’m not sure I can handle this clothing, it’s too sexy.” She said her cheeks were burning red.

“Do you want me to change it if you’re not comfortable?’’

“No I like it. I feel like a princess geared up for battle.”

“You’re demoting yourself because I see a warrior queen.” I winked at her before I reached for her hand, and she took it without a second thought, “Ready?”

She nodded her head, and with our hands clasped together, we were sucked into limbo and ended up at the place where the battle was still ongoing.

My eyes scanned the whole perimeter, and I could see my demons were in an advantageous position. Lucija had been doing a good job of decapitating most of them before they got totally burned, but like any demon, as long as their hearts were intact, their king could revive them to life. So they kept coming back.

‘If you kill a demon, you need to claw their hearts and crush them. Or Arturos can bring them back to life.’ I told her through our mind connection.

Her body jolted, and I forgot to tell her that I was now able to mindlink her But she nodded her head as she opened her palm and began chanting something, and soon air swirled in her palm before flames danced around it.

I knew I should be killing demons, but I wanted to make sure Patrea was secured until she could decide what weapon she would be using.

Soon, my queen was throwing a circle of air with jagged edges combined with fire at every demon trying to lunge at her She was slicing demons in half while the rest of my demons were clawing hearts and crushing them. And I think she was enjoying what she was doing. I sprung into action as soon as I was aware she could handle herself and my demons were around her. I could see Artutos at the far end, and I needed to take out massive numbers of demons before I could get to him. I wanted his heart in my hand

Before coming here, I only wanted to protect Kalmerus, but I had a new goal in mind. I wanted Athwart as well. Killing him and eating his heart were the only ways to get it. I was busy attacking demons along the way when my attention was caught by Lucija’s white wolf, Angel, descending from the air and landing beside Patrea In no time, Patrea was already climbing at her back, and they began rising and gliding in the air – with Angel firing ice and Patrea with air and fire.
