062 – Demon Lesson 101

Note: ***Any conversation with [ ] is in a demon’s tongue/language, so Adan will have

no idea what the conversation is all about***

LUCY.

I didn’t mean to kill the dungeon keeper, but the moment I saw Adan chained up to the wall, rage surged within my body. I wanted to crush everyone around us, and the keeper was the closest thing in my grasp.

“Then I’ll keep killing anyone that touches him,” I answered nonchalantly as I moved in front of where Adan was seated.

Adan wasn’t making any noise while I was dealing with the keepers except when he tried to growl at the other prisoners who were gawking and whistling at me earlier.

He was quiet – either he was scared or my mate was fascinated. I was assuming it was

the latter. Adan was not the type of man who was easily frightened.

“I’m warning you, Lucija. You will face my

wrath if…”

I didn’t hear the rest of Lucien’s words as

sparks ignited from my ankle to every part of my body, centering on my core. Adan’s fingers were skimming against my skin in such a sensual way that if he didn’t stop soon, everyone would smell my arousal.

“Remove his chain, and I promise you there will be no more casualties from your keepers.

“Lucija, you don’t have any right to

negotiate.”

“I surely do. Look at this.” I stepped

forward, and although I missed Adan’s

touch on my skin, I needed to take action.

I turned my body around and gripped Adan’s forearm before tugging it hard, away from the wall. The chain clattered. Adan

didn’t even flinch when the shackle

tightened on his skin and the chain pulled his wrist back, but I faked a gasp before I

showed Lucien my wrist. A bruise formed on it. “This is cruelty toward a royal princess. punishable by death or revocation of the

royal title. And besides, scars and bruises

acquired in this realm never fade from our

skin. Would you like everyone to see how cruel you are to your own daughter?”

“[You are trying to outsmart me.]” He spoke to me in our demon tongue, and I assumed

he didn’t want Adan to hear us.

“[I’m not. What are you scared of, Father?

Alpha Stone will never be able to leave this

realm without your approval. Like all supernatural beings that you held hostage in

the underworld. He cannot shift into his

wolf. He’ll be useless in an uprising. So why are you threatened?”]

“[He’s useless, and yet you still want him.]”

“[I do. For now. I don’t know if I will still like

him tomorrow. There’s nothing we can do about him at the moment. You hurt him, you

hurt me. You kill him, you kill me. So at least, let me have my fill of him, Father.]”

“[And when you’re tired of him?]”

I shrugged my shoulders at the same time Adan yawned, and I had to keep myself from

bursting into laughter. I was bargaining with his life, and he was getting bored to death. “[

I had no idea. We can feed him to the orms, but then I will also die a terrible death.]”

“[You’re stupid to bind your life to him.]”

“[That’s what love can do, Father.]” I

mocked him.

He scoffed and laughed loudly. “[Love? You’re referring to lust. I needed to find the witch that did this to you. Give me her name.]

“[I don’t know her name. But she has wild, curly hair and a pointed nose.]” Everything was the exact opposite of Althea.

“Move…” Lucien spoke in human language, and I didn’t question him. I was hoping he would not force an answer from Adan.

“Stone, did you like my kingdom?” He asked as he crouched in front of him.

“Yes…” Adan answered in a calm tone as if

he were not naked and sweating.

“I didn’t expect that.” Lucien scoffed.

“Lucy is here, enough reason to like this place.”

My heart fluttered at his words, but I

couldn’t shriek with giddiness. I needed

Adan out of this filthy place before I jumped

on him.

“Are you trying to win my daughter over?”

“Does it matter to you?”

“No. Give me the witch’s name and tell me

where I can find her.”

“I’m not sure what you need the witch for?”

Shit! Adan had no idea our lives were already

bonded.

“Does Lucy know the witch’s name?”

“I assume not.”
