Chapter 67
Evelina
I’ve woken up on a cloud. A very comfortable cloud. I wonder how it is that hell has the nicest bed I’ve ever slept on Maybe I should take it home to the mortal realm with me. I reluctantly get out of bed, the black silk sheets gliding off my body like a whisper of a promise to come back…and I want to, but I don’t. I have things to do today. It’s extremely hard to tell the time here with no actual sunlight and windows that depict a sunny exterior to our kingdoms. I have quick shower in the black and red marbled bathroom to freshen up, after my mates ravaged me before I fell into a blissful sleep, I need one. Then I head out to find where said mates are Xavier’s office is empty, so I move on Haiden’s space is different, I can see he’s been here, but he’s not currently there I ensers how it doesn’t feel like hell when you enter, with light colours and soft materials, it’s very welcoming, almost as if you’re in a different realm to the underworld I leave through the door, and I spot. sparkly rainbow boot prints? How strange. I follow them anyway, leading me towards Levi’s area, where I’m surprised once again to find a completely different space from what it once was. It’s cosy, warm, and extremely efficient. When I check the tablet, I can see that each soul now has their own space to rest in which is really nice, especially for the souls who will go up to the beyond. I continue to follow the boot prints to a single door, and what’s on the other side has my ovaries doing somersaults as I watch Haiden and Levi in the middle of what looks like a child’s wonderland playing tag with a group of young children.
“I got you? That means I’m next!” One little boy yells as he taps Levi.
“Okay, fain, are you ready?”
Tm so ready?” The little boy jumps with excitement as Levi assesses his soul with a smile.
“Congratulation’s buddy.” He smiles warmly at the child. “Up you go.” He takes a step back from the child as a warm light surrounds his little frame and he slowly fades away to the beyond:
Haiden notices me first as a little girl tugs on his arm. “Who’s the pretty lady?” She whispers loudly, making Haiden smirk at me. “That’s my Queen.”
The kids gasp and jump with excitement, running towards me. “Are you really a Queen?!”
I kneet in front of them. “I am.”
“Can you grant wishes?!” The same little girl says, making me laugh.
“Do you have a wish?”
She nods excitedly. “I want to go to the happy place. Can I wish for that?” I look over her shoulder where Levi is standing, and he nods at me.
“Wish granted.” I wink, and she begins to glow as her image fades.
“Thank you!” She waves happily while dancing around.
Once the small group of children finally ascends to the beyond, I stand to question my mates on why there was such a large group of them here, but they seemingly already know it’s coming.
“We need to explain something, doll,” Levi says, taking my hand with a gentle kiss.
“We should find the others.” Haiden nods, creating a portal that we step through.
1 almost have a fucking heart attack when my feet land onto what I think is thin air above a raging fire below. It takes me a good moment to realise it’s a glass ficer, inside a giant metal cage, suspended in the middle of a massive circular…hell? Whatever Noah has done here, this is definitely frightening. From where we stand, you can see in every direction torture rooms stacked miles high and low, all around and connected by escalators. Escalators in hell, how very modern of him. There are metal cages that harg above us with souls, I suspect are waiting for their assigned rooms, or maybe they’re just up there as part of their punishment. The mere thought of having to view this place from up there would be a punishment.
“You all have been busy, I see.”
Haiden nods with a smile. “Did you see my waiting room?”
“I did. It’s very nice, darling.” I pat his army, while tevi walks around the reception desk and speaks through a microphone that blasts through speakers I
can’t see.

Chapter 67
“Kings of the underworld. I repeat, Kings of the underworld, can you please report to the reception desk for your Queen?” He says, clearly making me laugh, how very modern of him. I bet now he’ll have a speaker system set up at the orphanage to direct the children more easily.
I watch as Xavier and Noah exit from a room above and slowly make their way around the semi–circle, onto an escalator, and down to us. Noah kisses me softly before passing me off to Xavier to do the same.
“Did you have a good nap, little mate?”
“I did actually.” I blush, remembering why I was tired to begin with. Noah cages me in between the two of them, leaning down to whisper in my ear. “It’s our turn tonight.”
The hunger in his voice has me grinding my thighs together in need. Haiden clears his throat behind us, breaking me out of the moment of lust, and Noah steps back from me, while Xavier looks down at me thoughtfully, running his hand along my jaw to the back of my nape.
“I’m guessing you’re here to find out what has happened?”
“Uh, yeah, the very cute group of children in the underworld was a little bit questionable.”
He nods slowly. “I found their souls in Tolaris, little mate.”
“What?” My heart hammers in my ears. All those children…died in my pack?
