094 – Fated Mates

ADAN STONE.

After Lucija and Lucius left, I stayed awake. Sleep never came, and as much as I wanted to just lay down

on the bed and think of my next move, the room was painful to see.

Lucija was just here for a short time, but every corner of the room reminded me of her.

So I went down and stayed in the kitchen. My mind was blank. I felt more lost than ever. I just wanted her

back with me at whatever cost.

I needed to summon Hades. But what was my guarantee that he would come?

I had no idea how long I had been sitting at the dining table when a sudden pain hit my chest. It was just

for five to six seconds, and I disregarded it until I noticed red marks had appeared on my wrists. They

looked like

ancient writings, but I knew what they

meant.

My mate was being intimate with someone.

No, Lucy would never do that. Even if she knew I couldn’t remember her, she loved me, and she would

never betray me. I tried to calm myself down, but whatever thoughts I kept thinking weren’t helping.

Beast wasn’t helping as well. He was furious. My wolf was being ruled by his emotions, and they were

getting into my head. The next thing I knew, I was trashing the small table and beginning to punch the

wall. I needed an outlet.

“What the fuck, man?” Kingston growled as he pulled me away from the wall, but I shoved him off and

continued pouncing on it. I saw Patrea come and look at me with a shocked expression, but she didn’t

say anything.

I know I should stop. The pain was just for a

few seconds, but the idea of someone tasting what was mine was eating me alive.

“Enough Adan!” Kingston growled one more time before he laid a hand on my arm, but I swatted it away

before my hand went to his torso and pushed him.

I was about to return to punching the walls when Lucius appeared out of thin air. Instead of hitting the

walls, I launched at him and threw him a hard punch.

“Fuck you!” I growled as I hit his nose, and the fucker staggered backward.

He hissed as his eyes blazed red and his palms were raised toward me, and a massive air blast hit my

chest, knocking me

backward. I groaned as my back hit the wall before I slid down to the floor, but it didn’t stop me from

rising to my feet and getting ready to attack him again.

I was one hundred percent sure he was the one who kissed Lucy. Didn’t he say

something about mating with her at the cleansing?

Instead of punching him, I gathered a

massive ball of fire to throw at him, but

Patrea built a shield around me, preventing

me from shooting the fire out.

Everyone was yelling, and my mind wasn’t taking in anything. I just wanted to hurt Lucius so badly.

‘Calm the fuck down! What the fuck did I do

to you?’ Lucius connected with my mind.

Instead of answering him through our mindlink, I yelled at him. “Did you touch Lucy?”

“The fuck, no!” He yelled back.

“Don’t you fucking lie to me!” I launched the fireballs, but they just bounced off the shield and went back

to me before they dissolved in the air. My eyes darted to

Patrea, who kept on chanting nonsense

while blood started to trickle down from her

nose. “Let me out of here!”

“Calm the fuck down! You’re using up all

her energy!” Lucius looked pissed off while his eyes were focused on Patrea. “Fuck you, Stone!

Guillermo kissed her, not me!”

“Did she kiss him back?” I asked. I knew I

was wasting Patrea’s energy, but I couldn’t control myself or Beast at the moment.

“No! She would never do that!” Lucius

hissed.

I closed my eyes as my hands coiled into fists and tried to remember how Lucy looked at me in the

bedroom earlier. Her eyes told me she loved me and was longing for me.

I felt the shield shatter, but before I could move, an invisible rope wrapped around my body, holding me

captive and making me growl in annoyance again.

“I’m not letting you go until you promise you’ll not set this house on fire. Because I’m not sleeping in the

middle of the forest!”

Patrea snapped at me.

I gritted my teeth as I let my body fall to the ground in a sitting position. “Did he force.

her?”

“She was able to get away. She sent me here to make sure you’re okay.” Lucius

answered, but he went to the witch and

cupped her chin, checking the damage I had done to her. Thankfully, her nose had already stopped

bleeding.

“Why the fuck did you leave her? What if he assaults her again? Can we fucking kill him?”

“That’s part of the plan.” Lucius brushed his hands over his hair before walking

toward me and crouching down to my level.” Lucija is safe for now. No one can enter her chamber

without her approval. She wants to make sure you’re okay, and she wants me to tell you she didn’t kiss

him back.”

My eyes watered, but I kept a straight face and nodded my head.

“Is Patrea okay?” The guilt was now eating

“I’m okay. You can’t have an outburst like that when you become upset, especially when you are in the

underworld. Many things can go wrong if you let your emotions. rule you.” Patrea answered while she

helped. Kingston pick up the mess I created in the

kitchen.

“It won’t happen again.”

Lucius’ hand extended and was about to hold my shoulder, but I inched back. “Don’t. I don’t like anyone

touching my shoulders.” 2

He went for my arm instead and patted it twice. “I can assure you that Lucija is yours, through and

through. And she knows now that your memory is back.”

A smile tugged on my mouth. At least she knew what happened earlier was real and not a dream.

“But she doesn’t know you will go back to

the Kalmerus,” Lucius added.

“Why not? You just let her think I was just sitting here while she was miserable being trapped there?”

“It should be the least of your worries. I’d rather she thinks like that than make drastic and stupid moves

once she realizes you’ll return to save her. She told me earlier to make sure not to drag you back there.”

“And then she will see me there.”

“She had no choice by then but to continue fighting. With us.”

I was not in agreement, but what choice do I have? I was willing to bow down to anyone just to get my

female back. Being seen as weak by her was the last thing I wanted, but I would swallow my pride right

now, but after all this, I would make sure she would never feel that I would never do anything to protect

her. I meant what I said to her

before, I would go to the depths of hell for her not just once, but every fucking time I

needed to.

“Can you let me go? I’m calm now.” I asked

Patrea in a soft voice.

She sat down on the chair provided to her by Kingston, and even without saying

anything, the invisible rope loosened on my body and my arms sprung free from being

held.

“You can tie up someone without illuminating sparks and lights.” Lucien

smiled as he looked at her. I didn’t know the demon prince knew how to smile nicely.

“I’d been practicing,” Patrea answered.

“Are you okay?” Kingston asked me as Lucius and Patrea continued to talk. I

nodded my head in response as my Gamma took my wrist and checked it. “Did you even believe for a

second that she intentionally did that?”

“No… But the thought… just drove me crazy.”

Kingston was about to say more when a sound from an approaching car marred the serenity of the night.

Someone was coming.

My eyes darted to the wall clock. It was almost three in the morning.

‘Are you expecting someone?’ Lucius asked in my head.

‘No. Might be Fabius or his men.’

Lucius didn’t answer, and I rose on my feet and walked toward the front door of the cottage, with

Kingston following behind me.

I already had an inkling who was in the car, and I hope I was right.

We all exited the cottage at the exact

moment a Jeep came to a stop meters away. Dalton, the man I asked to pick up Althea, stepped out of

the car, and he was followed by Althea, who came out from the backseat.

I let out a sigh of relief as I watched them approach us. She was safe.

“Alpha Stone…” Dalton tipped his head down before he continued talking. “We had an incident on the

road that delayed us.”

“But is everything okay now?” I asked, my eyes shifting to him and Althea.

“Yes, Alpha.” He answered.

“How are you, Althea?”

She smiled weakly at me but didn’t say a

word. It was only then that another scent hit me. Blade.

“Where is he?” I asked, my forehead creasing.

“In the car.” She answered curtly.

“Is he not coming out?”

“He said he would just make sure I arrived safely here. He will leave right away.” She tilted her head and

met my eyes. She was

acting brave, but I could see the pain in them. And then I saw something else.

There was a fresh fated mate mark on her

neck. She was marked just recently. And with the full moon tonight, I wondered if it had

something to do with the incident that happened on the road.

“Blade, come out!” I raised my voice. slightly. The door where Althea came out was open, so I was sure

he could hear me.

I heard him grunt before heavy footsteps. echoed around us. I was waiting for Blade to reach us when I

noticed Althea’s body

stiffening and her gaze drawn to someone behind me.

Her eyes watered before she opened her mouth to speak. “Are you Patrea?”
