BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 43

043-In All Your Forms

LUCY.

“Are you an Angel? My special Angel?”

I should have smiled at the way he addressed me, but his words only cut my heart.

“I’m not. I’m the exact opposite.”

My eyes watered, as I let my horns surface from my temples while my tail began to swoosh around myback until it was standing proudly beside me.

Adan’s mouth dropped as his body stiffened, and I saw the shock in his eyes, but I couldn’t tell if hedespised me or not. “Your eyes.’

I had horns and a tail, and all he noticed were my eyes. But yes, my eyes turned crimson red.

“Don’t run.” My voice broke as my shoulders began to shake, while I tried my best not to cry.

When did I get so weak?

I was standing naked in front of the only man I was willing to show my true self to, and I knew that if heran away, he would shatter me to pieces.

“I’m sorry…”

‘Don’t be sorry for who or what you are.’ A voice rang in my head. 1

Am I hearing something? I swallowed hard and looked around to see if anyone else was present.Maybe it was Selene speaking with

My eyes locked with Adan’s again. His face was void of any emotion, and I hated it. I wish I could readhis mind.

‘Calm yourself or the fire will come out.’

Whoever she might be, she was right, I need to calm down or the fire will come out.

My horns and my tail, as well as my wings, were things my father would not be able to detect becausethey were part of my body. They were my own.

But the fire was my connection to him it was a gift that linked me to him.

I dropped my gaze from the Alpha as I rushed toward where he was seated to grab the necklace on theground beside him, but before I could take it, his hand grabbed mine and stopped me from picking itup.

I felt my horns retract, as well as my tail, because of the opal stone’s presence.

I tilted my head to look at him as my heart thudded loudly. His face was still void of any emotion. I hadno clue if he was repulsed or terrified of me.

“Show me more,” he said in a calm voice.

“I need the necklace.”

“I want to see your full demon form. Out your horns again!”

The way his deep, baritone voice came out with that order was too sexy, making tingles spread inbetween my thighs.

I gulped and shook my head.

“Is this the reason why you can’t change into your demon body?”

“Yes,” I answered.

“If I throw it far, you can let your horns and tail come out?”

I nodded my head at the same time and let out a loud shriek when I saw him grab the necklace andaim to throw it away.

“Please don’t… I can’t control fire without it! “I blurted it out as fast as I could as I tried to take it from hishand, but he was good at taking it away from me.

“What do you mean?” His forehead creased as he slowly lowered his hand.

My breathing slowed, but my gaze remained fixed on the necklace in his hand. “Let me explain… Youpromised you would hear me out.”

“Explain then.”

“The necklace suppressed my demon power. It means if it’s near me, I cannot transform. into mydemon form. And fire will not come out of my body.” I swallowed, waiting for him to say something, buthe kept quiet.

“I can’t control fire yet. I tried to before, but it was stronger than me. I can burn this forest if I get upset.”I had no idea why I was not telling him about my father and the fire connection yet.

“If you want to see my demon form again, I will show it to you, all of it. But I need the necklace aroundso when my emotions overwhelm me, I can take it and the fire won’t come out.”

“There is something you’re not telling me.

This is not just about the fire burning the whole forest. Why are you suppressing your demon power?Don’t you want to be stronger so no one will abuse you and force you to do things you don’t want, likethe Omega feast?”

Adan knew me.

“My power of fire… it connects me to my father. If I use it, he will be able to locate my exact location.And then…”

“He would replace you… Your father, is he half demon?”

“No. He’s a full demon. The prince of darkness. And one day, maybe centuries from now, he will bechosen as the God of the Underworld.”

“That powerful…”

I nodded my head. “He wanted to take away my werewolf blood and make me a full demon.”

“Wow! Shit!” he grumbled as he brushed his palm across his face and tugged at his hair. ” This isfucking overwhelming…”

“If you don’t want me here anymore. I will walk away. I might be half demon, but I mean no harm.”

“What did you say?”

“I said I mean no harm.”

“No, the part where I don’t want you anymore?”

“If you don’t want me anymore…” I was not able to finish my words as he closed the gap between usand grabbed my neck, pulling my face close to his as he crushed his mouth against mine.

Tears trickled down my face as I slowly parted my mouth and kissed him back.

He still wanted me. But was it enough for him to let me stay?

“Just let me go, and I will walk away. But please don’t let my secret out.” I mumbled against his lips themoment he pulled away from kissing me.

“No one is walking away here.” He answered hoarsely as he pecked my lips. “My little demon… ShouldI be scared of what you can do to me?”

I didn’t answer him and instead wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him tightly. “Adan…”

His hands went to my ass as he lifted my body off the ground, and my legs wrapped around his hips. “Iwant to see all of you…”

I nodded my head before I answered in a whisper. “Promise me the necklace, you will throw at me if Iask for it.”

“Yes… I promise.” He replied as he let me on my feet.

I was about to turn around but his hand snaked around my wrist and pulled me back.

“Lucy.” His hand reached for my stray locks and tucked them behind my ear. “Will you let me askquestions, and will you answer me truthfully after this? I’m still trying to get my head wrapped aroundthis.”

I nodded my head, his eyes looked solemn, and it made me uneasy. Was everything just sinking innow, and maybe he would change his mind about making me stay?

“Good, now let me meet my little demon.” He chuckled as his hand landed on my naked ass, slappingme a bit harshly, which made my body jolt as I jogged away from him.

I stopped more than 15 feet away, where I could no longer sense the opal stone.

“Ready?” I asked as my gaze wandered across the naked body of the Alpha.

Goddess, he was perfect! He placed a hand on his hips as the other went to cup his jaw, his fingersrubbing his chin while his gaze never left mine.

I swallowed and dropped my gaze to the ground, and slowly, little red veins began to show up on theskin of my legs up to my thighs and all over my body as a tail grew out in between my hip bones, justabove my before it swooshed around me while the horns in my head popped out on my temples.

I knew my eyes were back to crimson red, and I was sure thin veins were on my face as well.

I slowly tilted my head up, ready to let Adan see my real demon skin, and my mouth dropped open atthe view in front of me.

He was still holding his jaw, his tongue swiping over his lips, but he was sporting a very hard erection.

He snickered before he opened his mouth to speak. “You looked like the one who saw me transforminto something.”

“You’re having a hard-on…”

“I am. Fuck! Lucy, something is fucking wrong with me, but you looked so sexy in my eyes. Can I fuckyou in that form?”

A giggle rose from my chest, and I saw him drop the opal stone on the ground before he moved towardme. Halfway through his walk, I flexed my shoulders, and my big, black wings came out with a loudpop.

Adan stepped back with a surprised expression. “Mother of all fuckers! What the fuck was that?!”

His eyes were rounded before he began to chuckle as my wings flapped gently, blowing air his way.“Goddess, Lucy. I just want to hold you… Will there be more things popping out of your body?” I shookmy head, biting my bottom lip as I suppressed my giggles.

In seconds, Adan came like a tornado and grabbed my neck, and pulled me closer before smashingour mouths and kissing me brutally hard. He might have realized I was not the meek Omega thatneeded to be handled with care.

My tail swooshed and danced around until it wrapped around us, pressing our bodies closer together atthe same time that Adan forced my mouth open. He slipped his tongue inside my mouth as I moaned inpleasure, but I was not done with my surprise yet.

I willed my tongue to extend longer and swiped it inside his mouth, up to the walls of his throat. Hiseyes snapped open, but my arms and tail around him tightened their hold, not allowing him to move.

Soon, his shoulders relaxed as we kissed again.

My wings flapped before embracing us into a cocoon while I lift our bodies a few feet off the ground.

Adan pulled away from kissing me, his eyes widened in shock before a smug smirk crossed his face.“This is fucking awesome…”

I giggled and withdrew my wings around us before my tail and arms let go of his body. He dropped tothe ground in an instant, his ass first with a loud thud, but he didn’t even flinch.

I giggled as I dove toward him and pushed his body to the ground before I hovered and floated abovehim. My canines sharpened, but they weren’t as sharp as his fangs. “Am I scaring you now, Alpha?”

“No, not a bit. You’re still my little bunny…” He smiled as he cupped my core, his fingers sliding into mywet folds.

My body began to feel hot, and I was not sure if it was the desire or the fire that was making me feelhot. Either way, I didn’t want to take a risk.

Before he could do more, I flew away to where the opal stone was, and in seconds, my body droppedto the ground as everything retracted, leaving me as human as I was before I transformed.

I winced in pain. It wasn’t much, but I did fall on my arm in a bad position.

Adan rushed to my side and pulled me up, letting me sit on his lap. “Are you okay? Why…”

“You make me feel hot. I’m sorry. I was terrified it was a signal for fire to…”

“Ssshh… it’s okay.” He smoothed his hand over my cheek before resting his forehead against mine.

“Adan, are you sure you’re okay with me being here with you.”

“Yes!” He growled, his eyes dilating as his breathing hitched. “You’re not going anywhere.”

“If my father replaces out, I’m here.”

“Then he will replace out.”“I don’t want to go back to the underworld. I want my wolf, Adan.” I saw pain flitacross his eyes, but it was gone in seconds. “Yes, we will do everything to let your wolf out.”

He might think I wanted my wolf so I could replace my mate.

“And then Beast can mate with my wolf. That would be fun…” I added as I smiled at him.

“Yes, it is.” His eyes watered, but he blinked them back as he ran his knuckles along my cheek.

“Then you can mark me…” I said it in a very low voice.

“But your mate…”

“Alexa told me that a chosen one will never be lower than a fated mate as long as you choose eachother for the right reason,” I said in one breath. “Of course, only if you want. I’m already thinking ahead.I just got excited that you’re not pushing me away.”

“I will never push you away,” he said as he pressed my head against the nook of his neck and wrappedhis arms around my naked body. “You’re mine, Lucy, in all your forms.”
