PATREA.

My body was sucked into limbo as I held Alpha Adan tighter to make sure he wouldn’t fall somewhere, but for some reason, I still ended up landing in the middle of the cold, forest ground alone.

“Shit! Where is he now?” I groaned, my eyes scanning the whole area as I placed a hand on my hip bone before stretching my back.

I landed on my butt, and I was thinking sending me back to the human realm might also mean I would be back at my real age. I had no idea what year it was already, but if my calculation was right, I should be almost seventy years old now.

And if my body were older, the fall might

render me immobile. Apart from the pain in my ass and the slight discomfort in my back, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I felt the same as I did there, except the air here was colder.

Good grief! It was snowing, and I had no thick clothes to shield me from the cold.

I stood up from the ground and rubbed my palms together, and I noticed my hands were still the same no sign of aging, which was a good thing, but I would check on everything later. I needed warmth because the chill in the air was

away and landed on my bum again.

but I ignored it.

“Dammit! You and your father had no regard for space or privacy!”

The demon royal in front of me smiled. sheepishly as he brushed a hand through his curly hair, red tints creeping up his cheeks. Was he blushing?

“I just pictured where I would end up when I left the portal. I didn’t know you would be in the exact same spot.”

“What do you want?” I snapped at him

while rubbing my arms. I hoped he would

“Are you cold?” He asked.

“Yes. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fire

He didn’t reply, but I saw the small flick of his fingers, and the next thing I knew, I

“Better?”

“Yes. This feels nice. Oh, spirits!” I

exclaimed as I pulled the coat tighter

against my body. “Are you expecting a thank you from me?”
