Chapter 042 – The Alpha’s Little Witch

BLADE

Althea kept pacing back and forth. At first, I didn’t mind, but I was beginning to get irritated with the way she kept moving in front of me, and my eyes couldn’t stop following her. If I had my way, I would pull her onto my lap and tie her up around me.

“Can you stop doing that?” I spoke in a low voice, as I did my best not to show how her moving around bothered me already.

“Waiting for the unknown is killing me. I don’t know how you can just stay still there for a long time like you’re not even breathing.” She snapped at me. “Did you forget I’m a mercenary? I can stay here for days and you won’t even know I’m here.”

“Are you not worried about what’s happening out there?” She asked, ignoring my words.

“No. I know they can handle them.” But the truth was, I was not worried, not yet, because she was safe here with me.

The rest of them were demons. I was sure if they died, they could find ways to revive themselves, but Althea could not, so it was better if we stayed here.

“Look at this.” Her words snapped me from my thoughts, and I saw her holding a big, black fabric. She slipped her hand under it, and the fabric disappeared along with the portion of her hand.

“What the f*uc*k is that?” I growled as I stood up from my seat.

“I think it’s Patrea’s invisible cloak. Let me try.”

“Althea!” I wanted to stop her, but she was already wrapping it around her, and then she was gone in front of me.

“Althea!” I growled as my heart thudded loudly. Sweat formed on my forehead as I swiveled my body around looking for any signs of her but there was nothing.

“Stop with your jokes and come back here!” I growled one more time.

“Hi…” She spoke softly, and I felt a breath running along my arm.

Althea was shorter, so I knew she was just beside me. I carefully raised my arm and tried to snake it around her body, but I only grasped air.

“What the f*uc*k?” I cursed under my breath before turning around.

“Hi!” She suddenly appeared in front of me, and my body jerked back so much that I almost lost my footing.

“Althea!” I growled, and I would have snapped angrily at her if I hadn’t seen the smile that curled on her lips — her first smile for me in the underworld. “Don’t do that again.”
