Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

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.

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.
