Alex shut his eyes in pain as he caressed Ariel’s neck, his heart aching for the pain his boy was going through.“Dad, it's hurting him,” Ariella shouted, removing Alex's hands.“I know, but that's the only way I can transfer my powers to him and make him stronger. His wounds will also heal. Baby boy, you have to endure the pain, okay? You are daddy's son, you were born powerful.” Alex said in a firm voice, before placing his hands back on the huge gash on his back.Soon the wounds on Ariel's back totally closed up, and a light nylon film formed on the surface, showing it had healed.Alex used his free arm to pick up herbs and elixirs, using it to massage Ariel's back.After two minutes, he turned him around, placing his bleeding palm on the wound on his chest, guiding his energy to Ariel's heart.“Mmm,” Ariel groaned in pain, grabbing fistfuls of the bedsheets.“Ariel is hurting, but the wounds on his back are gone,” Ariella whispered, wiping her tears as she watched her beloved brot

Eleanor scoffed, rolling her eyes at his ridiculous words.“If I ever want to do anything to that thing in between your thighs, it will be to bite it off!” Eleanor shouted, making Alex instinctively cover his manhood with his hand.“Idiot,” he cursed under his breath, quickly tightening the sash on his pajama pants.“What the fuck did you do to my son? He was fine when you took him away. I will deal with you if…” Eleanor began to say, infuriating Alex.“Shut up! I have done my best to be civil and loving towards you, but you keep frustrating my efforts. Why are you pretending to be concerned about my kids when you obviously hate them? Every moment you remind me that they are the reason you fell from grace, a source of constant embarrassment for you. They might be bad luck to you, but they are my lucky charms, the most precious of all I call my own. I bless the day I met you despite your shitty attitude, all because of them. They are the beacons of light and hope guiding me in the dark

Alex smiled and carried Ariel up, before turning to her.“You are a girl, he's a boy. It's so complicated that I can't explain it to you. When you grow up you will understand it better,” Alex said dismissively, taking her hand.“Dad, I can walk,” Ariel whispered hurriedly trying to get down.Alex smiled and set him down, wondering why he always acts like an adult.Just at the entrance of the dining room, they met Luz, who was just coming back from the kitchen where he went to deliver a message to one of Mac's subordinates.He stared steadily at Alex and the twins whom he was holding their hands, his cold eyes running from Ariel's head to his foot.Ariel shivered because of the intensity of his gaze, and cold aura which was somewhat like Alex's demonic aura. But they never felt Alex's aura because it mysteriously disappears when the kids were around.Everyone in the dining room turned to watch the silent confrontation going on.Meanwhile, Ariella couldn't help but examine Luz who was a

Alex chuckled, looking up from his meal.“Why do you ask? Or you suddenly decided to be one of us?” he asked, looking up at her.“It's not that easy though. You have to register and take the exams before getting admitted. Even then, you will end up as a foot soldier. It will take years of hard work for you to be qualified to stay in the villa as one of us. Besides, madam, your body is not conditioned for hard labor. It's a very stressful thing, and you have gone past the age where your body can be trained to be resilient like that of men. You have even given birth to the boss's children, passing the exams will be impossible for you. So, you just need to relax. He will always watch your back, no matter what happens. That's the advantage women have over men,” Raz quickly said, making Eleanor speechless.“I only asked for the meaning, not how to join,” she snapped impatiently.“Why do you need to ask? There's no need to gain knowledge that would make you yearn for something impossible. Y

Luz quickly turned towards the machine, huge balls of sweat dripping down his tender skin.“What are the results of the analysis? Report,” Alex said, also walking towards the machine.“DNA result came out positive. With 99.9% count. This can only mean that sample B belongs to either the child's father or mother. Congratulations to them,” the laboratory system announced.Luz shivered, huge drops of tears rolling down his cheeks. If magic is not to be trusted, what about advanced science? He had been carefully watching Alex throughout the process and can swear that nothing shady took place.“Dad! You are really my father! How is this possible?” He whispered, falling to his knees, tears and snot running down his face.Alex knelt before him, pulling him into his arms, while silently rubbing his back as he allowed his son to vent.After a few minutes, Luz finally recovered his composure, and wiped his face with the edge of his sleeves, sniffing at intervals.“How did you find out?” Luz whi
